Holiday

The time has come again Feels weaker every year Far from where we begin If only we were together Emptiness awaits. It's the same all of the time Endless nights, I lie awake, hoping just one time I'm there with everyone once again I can't be there anymore But enjoy yourself anyway For my sake, try again another day A memory not forgotten Where all selfishness is forgiven Comforted in these changes Connect what's been taken Never give in and be your best On a holiday, on a holiday Happy holiday For a future reference On a holiday, on a holiday Happy holiday For a future in remembrance On a holiday, on a holiday Happy holiday

NEW: Boost your art!

Oct 15, 2024

Update, November 19th: Boosted content will now start appearing in more places across the network! In addition to displaying in the Home feed, boosted content now appears on the Deviants You Watch page, and it is also being rolled out to deviation page sidebars in the coming months. In Deviants You Watch, only boosted content from deviants you watch will appear. Increase the visibility of your art and reach a wider audience with the new Boost feature! How does the Boost feature work? Boosted content will receive increased exposure for 48 hours, and will appear for deviants who are most likely to enjoy your work. After the boost ends, you’ll receive an email and a notification detailing the impact of your boost. Public deviations (including literature, Premium Downloads, and Exclusives) and Subscription tiers can be boosted. You can boost multiple items simultaneously, and you can also boost the same item multiple times back-to-back. How do I use the Boost

By popular request, you can now choose a preset before you upload a file to your Studio. If you have two or more presets, you’ll see a new “Preset” dropdown on the upload screen, which will apply any of your preset tags, descriptions, and other settings to the deviation. The presets feature lets you easily set defaults for each deviation you submit, saving time when uploading and submitting files. Set up different presets for when you submit photography, traditional art, adoptables, and more. Visit your Studio

The pre-selected tags feature for suggesting tags on your art has received several accuracy improvements over the past few months. However, some deviants voiced a preference for complete control over their tags. Now you can opt-out of pre-selected tags when you have your own preset tags. Simply go to your Studio, select “Presets,” and toggle off “Automatically add tags suggested by the system.” This option will appear when you have your own preset tags selected. Deviants with multiple presets can configure each one individually depending on their needs. Suggested tags will still show up on the interface — with improved accuracy -- but they won’t be automatically applied.

Ink

Each dream I see you in,Your voice echoes from within.Gray names raise pikes, sharp and still,For the climbing corpses downhill. Your fingers carry ink, spreading to my shins,The solemn cries of minstrels accompanied by grins.The ink spreads further, seeping through my bones,While your whispers glide past the wall of spears. At the center of it all, a pumping engine driving a machine,A crestfallen body tumbles down the hill.And you did say to someone, somewhere else,“I wish love was perfect as love itself.” But love, be it now or before,Never mattered, never the core.The shining steel stands ready to protect,Yet bleak existence drowns in your ink.
