Life is going too damn fast lately. Has anyone else felt that way? So much has changed. So much hasn't changed enough. So much I wish I could do. So much I wish I hadn't done.
But that's one of life's blessings, y'know? It goes on. And sometimes, that's what we need most.

Now what?
I've been here fifteen years. My art dramatically dropped off when my focus turned to writing, but I still loved seeing others' original work and fanart 'cause there's so many talented people here, and I loved interacting with 'em. Then dA's management screwed us and everything else over. I'm not sure where to go from here.
dA has shat the bed.
According to prominent artists Linda Luksic Sejic and Stjehan Sejic, dA is now allowing AIs to harvest art without permission for its generators.

Voiced by Yuriko Fuchizaki and Sharon Becker.
While I'm very fortunate to not belong in an abusive family like Anthy did, I still understand her learned helplessness and feelings of being utterly powerless in what direction her life takes, due to the mental issues that give me so many hangups. It takes a dramatic shake-up and lots of help from Utena before Anthy can escape her gilded prison and
