Bye for now.

1 min read
Ten years since joining Deviantart and Furaffinity.
There were so many things I wanted to do, and so much art I wanted to make, but I didn't do much of either.

There's always a chance I could eventually get over myself, stop spending all my time venting/being negative, and eventually reach a point where I'm actually productive and emotionally stable.
But until I see myself making genuine progress towards fixing my life and actually creating more than one or two little doodles every year, I've laid my DA and FA to rest, and with that I'm also winding down my lurking.
I'm sorry to those whose time and attention I've wasted, and I'm sorry to those who wanted to see better of me.

Took this in March 2013, August 2014, and Feb 2015.... But a suicidal episode occurred in May 2015, an anxiety attack occured in Feb 2016 with after-effects in the couple months following, and after all sources of joy being shut down by my mother in August 2016, I have been letting negativity define who I am and how I behave. THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE FOLKS

[ ] You have a boyfriend/girlfriend
[x] You have your own room.
[x] You own a cell phone.
[x] You have an ipod/ mp3 player.
[x] Your parents are still married.
[ ] You have more than 2 best friends.
[ ] There is a swimming pool in your backyard
Total: 4

[ ] You dress how you want to.
[ ] You hang out with friends more than once a week.  
[x] There is a computer/ laptop in your room.
[ ] You have never been beaten up.
[ ] You never cry more than twice a month.
[x] You are allowed to listen to the music you want to.
[ ] Your room is big enough for you.
[ ] People don't use you for something you have.
[ ] You have been to a concert.
Total: 6


[ ] You have over 50 friends on Facebook. (I don't have a Facebook, nor do I want one.)
[x] Your parents let you have a Facebook. (They'll let me, but I don't have or want one.)
[x] You get allowance (I'm an adult with paid employment. That should count)
[ ] You collect something normal.
[ ] You look forward to going to school.
[ ] You don't wish you were someone else.
[ ] You play a sport. (stopped bowling in August 2015)
[ ] You do something after school.
Total: 8

[x] You own a car.
[ ] You usually don't fight with your parents. (I've been arguing with my mom for years. T^T)
[ ] You are happy with your appearance.
[ ] You aren't self-conscious at all.
[ ] You have never got a failing grade in your life.
[x] You have friends.
Total: 10

[ ] You know what is going on in the world. (I began avoiding world events as of Nov. 2014)
[ ] You care about so many people.
[ ] You are happy with your life.
[ ] You know more than one language.
[x] You have a screen name.
[ ] You own a pet. (My beloved dog was put down in June 2013 for severe athritis)
[x] You know the words to 5 songs
[ ] You don't have any enemies
[ ] You are a generally nice person.
Total: 12

Now count your numbers and multiply by three.
36%..... Down from 45% in Feb 2015, down from 63% in mid-2014, and down from 87% in early 2013
WHOOOO EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
P.S. I'm approaching a hard minimum on this survey where it can't logically get any lower. Unless my parents divorce or I move out to a 1-bedroom apartment with a roommate, this 36% result will remain indefinitely, and thus, this will likely be the last time I submit this particular survey.

'Kay~

3. This pokemon is deeply in love with you

4. This pokemon is stalking you
Skuntank

It depends on what he/she is stalking me for. If it's because he/she took a liking to my Poochyena self, then I'm all for it, lol. Otherwise, I'd be scared because Skuntank is much bigger than a harmless little Poochyena and could badly hurt me if he/she intended to. .w.;;

Tornadus

Uh.... It can keep it. I'm not about to freaking die over a cake when I can just make/get another

6. This is your Lab partner

hmmm. Poor guy/gal will be stuck in a little bowl. Since we're in a lab, I'll have to create a robot body that he/she could control using their mind.

7. This is your best friend
Wigglytuff

Seems like an honest, likeable gal/guy I can trust.

8. This pokemon is about to fight you
Vulpix

Umm, if that's a girl, then heck no I don't want a fight. ;w; I'd try to befriend her if it's the last thing I do, because we could be a precious Mightyena & Ninetales couple.

Furfrou

I mean... We're pokemon; we don't need shoes... But hell, Furfrou is so obsessed with fashion, I'm not even surprised.

Shaymin

I thought that was a Chia pet, oh my god... Now every time I water it, I'm gonna need to feed it too. X3

Frogadier

Hmm, so my roommate is the straight-A student. Great, so much for my self-esteem ;w;

Dusknoir
Huh.... Looks like I won't be having a ton of conversation with him/her...

Golbat

SON OF A-. Nah son, I'd have my Wigglytuff best friend use Psychic if that freak comes near me

Mewtwo

It has no reason to be scared of me... I mean, I don't possess any secrets that it wants to keep hidden. :/

16. This pokemon is about to perform surgery on you
Chimecho

Ayyyyy, Heal Bell me bro

17. You have to babysit this pokemon all night
Zorua

Eeeeee! >w<

18. This pokemon loves sleeping on your head
Oddish

Figures. I hide in the earliest routes of Hoenn, but so does this guy rite here. I guess he's not causing a problem, so I'll keep him. XD

19. This pokemon envies you
Garbodor

Darn right it does. I'm a cute cuddly little puppy and that's just a giant pile of sentient garbage...

“Sooner or later, all our games turn into Calvinball.”

   —Calvin

Facts:

1. I still have my first job. Unlike most of my peers who quit their first job within the first 6 months, I have just entered year 4 of my first job

2. Super Smash Bros. has been the greatest source of joy in my life. It is the only game series I’ve gotten serious enough in to attend major tournament events.

3. I used to love the homebrew/hacking scene during the DS/Wii era. I hated those two system so much, but the emulators and moonshell multimedia through hacking made the systems much more enjoyable.

4. I was an extremely spoiled child. Got pretty much everything I ever wanted

5. As a result of that (among other reasons I’d rather not mention), while I matured physically and mentally, my emotional stability went in the opposite direction; reality started raining bricks on me and I never adapted to all the changes. Minor issues for most people triggered catastrophic long-term responses in my case, such as severe depression that has been progressing for almost half the time I’ve been alive.

6. I was 150% addicted to 2nd-generation YouTube Poops (1st gen 2005 – 2006 era YTPs were just ear-rape noise videos, 2nd-gen 2007 – 2011 era YTPs introduced actual comedy and sentence-splicing hilarity). I actually tried to make YTPs in 2009 but failed miserably.

7. I had unknowingly been a furry since I was 5. Those PBS characters (y'know~ Clifford & Cleo, Sagwa, etc) were definitely my favorite characters on all of TV back in 1999.

8. My experience with furries began with exposure to the Furry Fandom when I was 13, through rule 34 (unfortunately). I started lurking around the fandom months later in 2007. Around mid-2009 through the furry acquaintances I met on YouTube, seeing :iconpippy1994:’s animated works on YouTube served as inspiration to open myself a DA and FA in 2009. By 2011, I was very comfortable with the fandom, became a furry myself, created my fursona, and began RPing and creating my own art.

9. I randomly became an Apple fanboy in 2015 after getting a used 2011 iPod Touch from a friend in 2014. In 2015 alone I went from just an iPod Touch 4th-gen to also having an iPod Touch 5th-gen, iPhone 5C, and Apple Watch Sport.

10. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire is my final mainstream entry in the series.  I am still interested in some spinoffs, but Pokémon is in its final days for me, personally.

11. From 2013 onwards, I became very interested in webcomics. Penny Arcade, VGCatz, Kidd Commander, Slightly Damned, SaveState, and especially BittersweetCandyBowl and Housepets are comics that I literally cannot get enough of.

12. 2006 – 2010 weren’t perfect years… But I was EXTREMELY active on NeoPets from early 2006 to early 2008. I was also a very active GaiaOnline user from mid-2007 to 2012 (not as much as my NeoPets days, but it was still pretty much addict-tier use) ahhh, boy were those fun times~

13. When asked questions, I have this habit of over-answering, basically giving my life’s story-   *looks up at my other 12 answers* Oh……… Yup…

Tagger's Questions:
1. 
What is it about fictional characters that makes them attractive?
The artist can do literally whatever he/she wants. Anything that would otherwise be imperfect in the real world can be ironed out. I mean, just look at furries. If such "anthros" existed in real life, they’d be very freakish, scary werewolf-style beasts. However, the human imagination is capable of rendering literally irresistible-looking perfect beings onto visual mediums. With the power of our minds (and artistic skill), we can make literally anything appealing.

2. Can you speak a second language? (It doesn't have to be fluent)
Nope. Literally not even a pinch of any other language.

3. Pokemon or Digimon? And which of the mons is your favorite?
Pokemon. Favorite ‘mon is the kangaroo-looking sheep, Ampharos. Love its chubby appearance, and more importantly, its stats in-game; it is halfway to Goodra-like Special-Defense, but also has the Special Attack power of Jolteon. It’s a SP.DEF wall, but is a SP.ATK hard-hitter. Love him to bits. (P.S. Mine is a Shiny Ampharos)

4. What's one movie/video game/TV show that you hate but everyone else likes? Vice versa?
TV show: Teen Titans GO.  So many kids love the show, but it is a self-aware smear campaign against my generation. It slanders everything about the original Teen Titans and early 2000s animated programming in general. It is a muddy, ugly, crude, unfunny show, but it steals tons of precious airtime that other shows are more deserving of, such as Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, Clarence, and We Bare Bears.

Now vice-versa? Video game: Sonic Shuffle. Everyone hates it for being an uninspired Mario Party ripoff with unfair AI. I like it because a lot of the minigames really were good, and it’s a freaking Dreamcast game.


5. Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network?
Definitely Cartoon Network. All the shows I just mentioned in the previous question (except for that trash teen titans GO bullcrap)

6. Which OC are you the most proud of?
I only really have one, my fursona Isaac.  There’s not much to say since I haven’t given him real character development over the years. .w.;;

7. What's the worst thing to leave behind while going on vacation?
From my childhood in the late 1990s, all the way until 2013, that would be whatever was the latest Nintendo handheld I owned at the time. In 2014, that would be my laptops. As of 2015 onwards, all I need is my iPhone 5C, Apple Watch Sport, and Bluetooth earphones.

8. School or college?
I wanna say college, but I actually have to say school, because I connected much more closely with my High School friends than I do my current college friends.  Life feels really empty in college in comparison to my grade-school life…

9. What film/video game are you the most hyped for this year?
Film = Zootopia | Video Game = Star Fox Zero

10. Which country would you like to visit?
Japan or Australia

11. Do you watch Monty Python? If so, what's your favorite sketch, and who is your favorite python?
I’ve seen a bit of it, namely, bits of Monthy Python and the Holy Grail. My current favorite sketch, of course, is The Knights Who Say Ni. My favorite Python is Palin.

12. Paragon, Renegade, Jedi, or Sith?
Umm…… Jedi. . . . ?

13. Are you hyped for Dinosaur Planet the Animated Fanseries?
HOLY-  THAT IS A THING?!?! I have always been more interested in Dinosaur Planet itself more than the Star Fox spinoff. But I’m only just now hearing that there is going to be an animated fanseries?! Where have I been?!?!? I need to see this ASAP! ^w^

My Questions:
1. Are you a furry? Is so, do you make art, literature, or music, or do you RP? If not, what is your opinion on them from what you’ve seen?

2. What is your favorite food?

3. What place would you like to visit that you haven’t visited before?

4. What sites were you a part of before you joined DeviantArt?

5. What is your favorite medium for entertainment: movies, music, literature, art, or video games?

6. Ever drawn anything deemed NSFW?

7. What makes someone worth your time?

8. What is currently the most advanced piece of equipment you own?

9. Are you competitive in any game series? If so, have you participated in any tournaments?

10. What sports do you play? Which one is your favorite?

11. Which weather extreme? >100F or <20F?

12. Have you met any of your online friends/acquaintances IRL?

13. Was this fun for you? If not, I’m really sorry ;w;

I swear, tagging is always the most lengthy and tedious step in these because the number keeps climbing. From 5 to 10, now 13?  Half of these tags I made in 10 minutes, the other half took almost 2 hours. Also, to anyone/everyone tagged, I’m really sorry to subject you to a meme that asks you to tag THIRTEEN more people. :iconidontloveitplz:

Last year, I remember only Premium only costing $24 a year.  Suddenly this new "core" membership is $50 but featuring nothing that Premium didn't already?!  I'm happy that a sale has given me 6 months for the price of 3, but that's still more per month than the previously established rate...
