As stated before I don't find DA so amusing these days as it's heading downhill, so I wasn't going to renovate my Premium/Core membership this year (2018), and remains to be seeing if I'll ever do it again in the future.

Having said this, you will be always able to find me (if not here on DA) on:

Facebook: [link]
Facebook Group: [link]
Recast Sanctuary BJD forum: recastsanctuary.com/forum/memb…

And of course amazing music videos just to say goodby to my Premium membership!

So, I didn’t do a journal for X-Mas (shame on me, but like I’ve said Deviant it’s sorta’ dead these days), but I can’t pass on new years celebration (this year it's my year, eighteen it's my number) since it’s one of the few traditions I have left. Having said that, you know what’s coming... ;)



"
We could just go home right now,
or maybe we could stick around,
for just one more drink, oh yeah...

Get another bottle out,
lets shoot the shit,
sit back down,
for just one more drink, oh yeah...

Here's to us!
Here's to love,
All the times that we fucked up!
Here's to you,
fill the glass,
cause the last few days have kicked my ass..!
So lets give em' hell!
Wish everybody well...
Here's to us,
Here's to us...

Stuck it out this far together,
put our dreams through the shredder...
Let’s toast, cause things, got better...
And everything could change like that!
And all these years go by so fast...
but, nothing lasts, forever...

Here's to us!
Here's to love,
All the times that we 
messed up,

Here's to you,
fill the glass,
cause the last
few nights have kicked my ass..!
If they give you hell!
Tell em' to go fuck themselves!
Here's to us!
Here's to us!

Here's to all that we kissed,
and to all that we missed,
to the biggest mistakes,
that we just wouldn’t trade.
To us breaking up,
Without us breaking down,
To whatever's come our way..!

(...)

Here’s to us! "

I want to be completely honest about my experience here on DeviantArt these days (and past few years in general). I feel like the site it’s dying.

A few years ago (like a decade or so) it was absolutely trending and awesome, you HAD to own a DA account if you ever touched a pencil (or took a picture, or made anything related to art) or you “technically weren’t an artist”. But nowadays it’s “just another site” on a whole new different spectrum of websites from Tumblr to Facebook or Instagram or whatever is that you use.

So charging US $50 bucks for a year of “premium features” you will not likely use, and having no the same benefits than some years in the past, seems stupid from the administration to ask for (since last years Christmas the “buy/ give one core membership and get one for free” it’s limited, last year to “6 months max” and this year “only 3 months max” when every Christmas before was unlimited, a year or “till’ hell freezes over” where an option, but 3 months it’s hilarious, for fuck sakes, fucking give me a year for me and someone else and I MIGHT pay you your $50 bucks, because I’m giving away a year of premium to someone else for free, ...even 6 months I can work with if we previously talk to the person involved on the exchange and I give him/her 6 months getting the same for free for me, and, the other user does the same, so in sum we get a whole year each and paid %50 because US$ 25 it’s a reasonable price for a year of premium, NOT $50, that’s just too much, I can spent that on collectables, movies, or even some BJDs ....and I have a lot more art website options for free!).

So having this in consideration, I will NOT renew the Premium Core “Whatever” features into this account. Maybe if the situation changes, in the future, but I see that as very dim possibility to be honest... I hardly use the account (as you can see).

I’m devoting myself to art, work, games, and life outside the internet. The drawings and things I do are usually going to my books or presentations and DA feels somewhat “old”. The things they update do me no good and I still have the account mostly because... I have no idea to be honest, it was there from before so it’s a force of habit I guest.

:/

So I will once again leave you with a music video, but be completely aware that DeviantArt might have had "their golden era", but now it’s just a place I go to keep up the groups I have and maybe upload something every now and then but not so often to justify $50 bucks and no free gift to anyone. I’m not rich enough to pay for things I don’t use. The account will remain and I’ll still be here, just not “premium”, but as a regular DA citizen.

Enjoy the music... :dance:





And Jurassic World 2 trailer just because it's awesome...

Ok, so, to whoever celebrates this days, each at their own way, very happy October 31th. :)

Tonight it's horror movie night and dolls are indeed included so it will be a good night, even so I'm personally too big for trick or treat. lol



"I am happy, I'm all smiles...
Just the grieving in my style.
Just a problem I enjoyed...
No more crying on my boy.

Bit of craziness in your eyes affect me,
You can't feel air too electric,
You lost our wedding ring, Frodo...
I had a great fall like Humpty Dumpty,
Seems like we are not on one team,
Surely, it was all just a dream...

Silent Hills...
I know we were not real.
I know we were not real.

I applaud, you played the role,
Just a killer in my soul.
Now I'm frozen, in a black hole,
People can't see I've gone cold.

Bit of craziness in your eyes affect me,

And just because there are few things more terrifying than watching a whole lot of bjds being smashed and destroyed for no good reason, here you got an extra sad and horrific music video that Japanese people might think as "deeper life and death meaning" kinda thing, but let's face it, it's just a horrible endless destruction of perfectly good and beautiful dolls many people might never being able to have/afford on their life time, so... here ya' go!

Sorry for the absence here on DA, really, sorry, I know internet websites require attention 24/7 because "the internet time runs different", but I'm a bit tired of running like I was chasing a train all the time so I'm taking some time to finish projects ;)

By the way, today premiers The Evil Within 2 (or "Psycho Break 2" if you like), and we will finally be able to see what the hell it's going on, unfortunately for me, I hate to buy games before the DLC comes out unless the pre-order already includes the Season Pass or something like a "Gold" or a "Deluxe" edition (talking about digital of course), so I will not pick this up anytime soon... but TEW as a saga it's one of the few (actually the only-one I can remember) games I don't only "don't mind spoilers" but I actually enjoy them, so there is no hurry, I'll have the time to fill myself into the story and characters as others play it and then (when I buy it) will be able to focus on how difficult and hard and scare on amo the game is without actually remembering or knowing what the hell it's going on (as I did with the 1st one, sorry Ruvik, your story was awesome, but the people telling it should have put a bit more effort into make it more comprehensible as a whole inside a game that's hard to beat and makes you loose track of the story so often). Anyway, release-day trailer, I really didn't like Stefano that much a few months ago but since then I grew to like the guy as a "happy psychopathic serial killer". Maybe the problem was that I think no one will ever beat Ruvik story as "tragic" and as the ending of the first TEW was overall flawless (since the good AND the bad guys "win" somewhat the same and Sebastian manages to get out of STEM but also Ruvik gets out in Leslie's body, and Mobius succeeds in "whatever they where trying to do"...sucks for Joseph {will not mention Dr Jimenez, he had it coming}, but hey, July also got out so, lol). Anyway, I know I'll be sad if Stefano dosn't survive this game now... I give a shit about the other bad guys (or good ones), and the only other character that will upset me if something (else) happens to him will be Leslie/Ruvik, but "Stef" it's also a lovely character that I think will most certainly miss if they kill him, and giving his odds, he has a good amount of chance to actually get killed during the events of TEW2 so... time will tell, go play kids!


And just to clarify, I know it has being ("internet time") "ages" since my last update and I only use DA to manage groups and to ad Fav+s or stuff like that, I'm terribly busy these past months and in all honestly I want to concentrate more in real life events and my crafts and writing than into the internet as itself, I think once some things are ready I'll be more active, but currently feel like I'm wasting time if I spent the entire afternoon on the internet in stand of doing the stuff I need to complete so...music video time! XD
