So there are two sides to the art community. At least, as far as I've seen and as far as I've experienced- mostly online unfortunately.
One side is the AWESOME side. The side that's here on DD, and in many other niches like discord servers (like our ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 10, 2023
So I have had a very good day today, celebrating a hard-won victory, and I'm currently tipsy. So this is a post I'm writing basically as drunk as I allow my self to get. (i.e. happy, less inhibited, definitely should not drive, but can still be you ...

New Year's Eve Thoughts
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 31, 2022
It's customary during the final days of a year to do resolutions for the next one or overviews of what happened in the one that's ending.
Even if we buck the system, we kinda do think back and ahead, especially during New Year's Eve, don't we ...
Our Relationship With Death
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 29, 2022
It's almost Halloween!

Embracing "good enough"
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Oct. 1, 2022
For the past month I have been taking a break to catch up on life. Between appointments, exams, social events and trying to catch up on the washing I’ve left about the apartment I have been mulling over something a psyche recently mentioned to me.

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 28, 2022

In short ...
Language
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, May 8, 2022
As a compulsive - and rather obsessive – writer I often find myself tinkering around with language. And I’ve always found the creativity and imagination that can go into the language within a fictional world to be similar to that of an illustrator. When done well it can bring color and ...
