more like; a very long account of aru's boring laifu and lame art
so, super aggressive aru goes on a rampage once again, there's school tomorrow I haven't gotten any sleep, still have a project to finish yet I'm writing this please bear with mE HUFFS
TAKE HEED; THIS IS AN EXTREMELY LENGTHY, CHEESY AND RATHER SELF INDULGENT POST READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
I dunno, I somehow am very hesitant in writing this as it would reveal how cheesy and sentimental I am at the same time I want to give justice to all the wonderful people who's mentioned me in their journal and my friends regardless of how they feel about me. So, likewise said, just this once, forgive aru's cheesiness and deal with my self indulgence ///kicked
well, where do I even begin;;;
I've repeatedly passed through the site during my years on gaia online (while posing as a fifteen year old living in japan despite the ongoing chaos back then ///shoots self) but I was intimidated by all the amazing art there was in it.
THEN I DISCOVERED BASES.
I remember spending half the month browsing through free to use ones and tracing them with the only software I had back then, MS Paint. I had but a few friends back then, too. disenchantedsaiyame a sugoi senpai from facebook and SakuraStar99 from youtube (a fellow lenmiku shipper!) Unfortunately, I eventually got bored and disappeared from the site.
oh-OH FIRST ART!! ofc everyone begins with that why didn't I think of that //huuffs
although, technically this isn't the first art I ever uploaded on dA, this is the earliest one I uploaded on this account. This piece is honestly very special to me, that year I was basically sulking for the fact that we moved over a hundred miles away from my hometown (or so I thinkkkk) it made me feel grateful that my friends back home still cared for and remembered me, at least enough for them to greet me on facebook for my birthday.
with that said, I rediscovered deviantart after randomly finding a group about promoting improvement
Hachiimi's piece(the december one, specifically), though, is what truly ignited my dream to become better, she was and still is my biggest inspiration, art wise.
That aside, I have gone a lot on this community for the past year (or is it years??) yet it somehow gives me a cringe whenever I try to remember how quiet and pointless my first days (months??) were, almost so much that I just wanted to be gone with the wind
Rainvader was really nice and friendly...yet unsociable, either that or up until now I haven't heard much from him and he has only uploaded two pieces of art on his gallery. Dude srsly, talk to me okei, let the aru be your friend //shakes you ///slapped
I decided to take matters to my own hands then, I began trying to make friends by nitpicking giving critique to people's art, I mean, it is an art community, right?
That did provide some good, in a way, I discovered being on deviantart meant you should contribute to the community more
I eventually opened my commissions and successfully sold them to Solceress for a then really low price(which worth even less considering my ugry skills)
and then I met JellaGelachin
THIS person/girl/human/daughter/thing (that's just how awesome and flexible you are daughter-chan //wigglesbrows) here showed me the wonders this community can do. It was the first time I had a legit conversation with someone and then those times I was practically giving up on my art...I never thought I could be good friends with someone online before then, ilu Ally bbu and I wish we could talk as much as we did before
WARNING NUMBER TWO; THE FOLLOWING PORTION FEATURES SEIZURE-TRIGGERING TEXT AND TERRIBLE ARU GRAMMAR, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I'd honestly take the time to write about all the people I've met or even all my watchers but I have over 700 to date, plus I haven't got much time on hand right now and basically just typed everything on one go, so I most probably wrote just about as much people as I can.
I can't name them all due to my ever tiny goldfish-brain, but all of them helped me grow both as an aspiring artist and a person.

what do I title this journal
OH LOOK THE CODES STILL WORK!
eyyy....I'm alive...I guess...?
It's been so long amg hahaha ;;;;
I don't even know how to dA anymore ///whyareyouembarrassingyourselfaru
also my hair's changed twice after I left, by which I mean I permed it then it grew back and now it looks awful ///whyamIevensayingthis
That aside, I don't really have anything interesting to post since I've sort of put a hiatus on drawing digitally, but despite the unprecedented hiatus, and so much has happened the past year ///which I btw didn't realize that I just took a hiatus for a year/// I still feel an urge to return to this site...I guess this is my way of saying
ovo
Hey, um...hi!
I know I've been inactive and irresponsible and I didn't want to start off this year with a bad vibe but after all the months of my inactivity I doubt there would be anyone even surprised to be reading this now so I'll go straight to the point; I'll be going on hiatus for some time. It's not that I'm tired of drawing or am uninspired, no! I still draw as much as I can, I just find it hard to go on dA these days...not that I don't have anything to do here, though, I have friends, and RP groups, which are truly like family...but to be honest, aside from time constraints college has brought about, I just can't find the motivation
IM NO SPAMMER YALL
It’s been forever srsly…or at least it feels like forever tho my friends would prolly argue and say “walang poreber” //cough—lamepun—cough ///HITHITHIT but yeeee, I’m not posting this journal bc deviantart thinks I’m spamming since I’m commenting on various profiles and stuff so yeee this is kind of an apology journal for not announcing my inactiveness beforehand as well as for the fact that I miiight not be able to respond to anyone atm(since dA thinks I’m spammin’) but thank you for all the new watchers from the past month /////
Now for my unobligatory explanation ab
