Deviation Actions
There has been some drama circulating the community (particularly the autistic community here; if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's best not to ask. I've been staying out of it despite people trying to get me involved, and now I'm honestly angry that people are still trying to get me involved and still perpetuating it).
Thus, I want to remind everyone who comes here of the rules...not just DA's rules, but for this page.
Breaking any of these rules will result in either a warning or an instant ban/block depending on how bad it is. Typically, it'll be an instant ban:
1. No trolling
2. No spamming (links, ect)
3. No advertising your page or begging for watchers
4. No harassing others (from me to other members/watchers, and that includes sending notes to try and get people involved in drama or hate on someone)
5. NO DRAMA
(all of DA's rules also apply, and anyone caught stealing my art will be reported and blocked as well)
I want people who come here to be able to feel safe; to be able to speak up and speak their minds and feel safe enough to share their thoughts about my artwork (and especially AuTalkz).
I don't want them to have to worry about being contacted via notes and urged to take the side in some stupid drama.
I also don't want them to fear being trolled or made fun of (which is why I urge people to report trolls and bring the situation to my attention if I haven't seen it).
If you have an issue with another deviant, take it up with them or just block and ignore them. Do not bring it here, and do not get innocent people caught up in any sort of drama between you and someone else. It's not fair to other people to encourage hate on someone or try and drag uninvolved people into petty squabbles and juvenile drama.
Now, I can't stop anyone from talking smack about someone behind their back...just as long as the toxic behavior doesn't come here.
That said, I do manage my page, and I do not accept any cruel/toxic behavior towards others in the comments (and notes).
I can't always see what other people say to one another due to how the comment system works on DA; I can only see the initial response someone makes to a drawing I post or their next response to my response.
So again, I want to remind everyone that if you are being harassed in the comments (or in notes) to please let me know (send me a note with a link to the harassment) so I can become aware of it, then block whomever is trying to mess with you if I feel they are truly being toxic.
Please do not respond to them, just let me know and then block them. If they're exceptionally nasty or threatening you, then report them to DA straight away. After that, ignore them.
That goes for comments and notes.
Debates are fine, just as long as they stay debates and don't get out of hand.
I don't expect everyone to get along, but unless someone volunteers to play the mediator or get involved, your squabbles are your own and I ask that you do not try to coerce anyone to get involved in them.
Honestly, the best thing to do is to just ignore the other person (I do encourage people to try and work out their differences, but should that fail, just step back, then block and stop).
Anyone ever learn what to do if you're in fire?
You STOP, DROP, and ROLL.
Welp, when it comes to disagreements here, DA encourages people to stop, block, and ignore. So basically: STOP, BLOCK, ROLL.
STOP; do not perpetuate the situation.
BLOCK; if you can't get along, add them to your blacklist.
ROLL AWAY; just move along and continue your life.
I've made a few pieces of artwork (and even a poem) about instances where I was cyberbullied. After getting my emotions out that way, I left the group which hurt me and don't speak with them anymore.
I know the process can be difficult, and the knee-jerk/easy response is to argue with someone.
Remember: "There will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right." (Dumbledore; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
It's easy to argue and stir the drama pot, or want to respond to a troll who is baiting.
The right thing to do, however, is just not to give them attention.
Thank you, and remember the golden rule: "Do onto others as you'd have them do onto you."
I hope everyone has a great day!

Palworld Thoughts
So, going to start off with a couple important warnings/disclaimers/notices. DISCLAIMER 1: If you enjoy Palworld, I am not judging you or saying you can't like it. I have friends who enjoy it, and we're still friends. Just because I have a different opinion of something you like, that does not mean I'm insulting you. DISCLAIMER 2: I do not, in any way, simp for Nintendo/Game Freak/The Pokemon Company. I'm rather critical of all three, including their games and how their company works. Pokemon has a long way to go, and I'm certainly not going to make any excuses for one of the highest grossing franchises, let alone for a AAA game studio. So...we're cool now, yea? We've gotten out of the way that me disliking something you like is not an insult to you or to make you feel bad or guilty for playing/enjoying it, and that I'm just as, if not more, critical of AAA game companies. I don't mind engaging in debates or hearing differing opinions, but let's keep things civil. I say all
Pokemon DLC: Why I can't stand Kieran
With the Indigo Disk dropping tomorrow, I figured I would finally cover the reason why I'm going to put together a team of level 100 pokemon specifically for steamrolling Kieran. This is not something I usually do. Rather, I like nuzlocking at every given opportunity. I also prefer to stay within the level limit (and at worst, going no higher than 5 levels over). However, Kieran does not deserve that respect. There were mixed opinions of him coming out of the Teal Mask, but overall most people tended to be on the same side I wound up on: Started out liking him (and hating Carmine), and at the end liked Carmine and hated Kieran. Obviously, this contains SPOILERS for the TEAL MASK. AGAIN, SPOILER WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. So, here are the top three reasons why I hate Kieran so much: 1: He throws himself a pity party claiming to be the victim of exclusion I've been excluded before. In elementary school, despite being athletic, I was picked last for teams because I
Reddit's Blackout
So, everyone probably knows that there was a major "blackout" of subreddits (from major ones to smaller ones) Monday & Tuesday to protest the monetized API rollout Reddit's CEO is planning on implementing by the end of June (which would cause a lot of 3rd party apps moderators of subreddits use to access the site to close down). This...I never understood it. Some of the subreddits are still in that mode (private only; people can't view or post). FFXIV is one of them, which irks me. The protest itself is fine, but what bothers me is how Reddit users went about doing it. Even though the entire site crashed on Monday because of the blackout, since not all of Reddit did it and it only lasted two days, the CEO's mind remains unchanged. Well, of course the CEO isn't bothered! Not every subreddit participated, and people still have their PAID MEMBERSHIPS. Why should they care if some subreddits go down for a couple days? If people really wanted to protest it, they should have
MHA Impressions
So, I boarded the train late and started watching My Hero Academia. There were two main reasons it took me this long to watch it: The first is that I'm just not a "super hero" person (despite having tried to make my own superhero comics as a kid)... And the second was that I remember reading a later chapter when looking up a character, and it was really unnerving (it had to do with the multi-hands psycho) and immediately turned me off of it. One of the only reasons I broke and finally watched it was that I was tired of not getting MHA references, honestly. I actually am finding myself enjoying it more than I thought I would. I'm about five episodes into the second season, but I'm not sure I'm enjoying it as much as I was before. I'm still curious, but there are a lot of issues I have with the entire universe. I'll try to avoid any direct spoilers, though honestly anyone reading this has probably seen the entire series or has no interest in it anyway. So, first up is the obvious:
