[IoS] [Blessed Parent] Serene Library
Sumu Crex stood at the entrance of the library, the warm afternoon light spilling in through the windows and casting a gentle glow on the well-worn wooden shelves. The small, quaint building was nestled in the heart of the centaur village, surrounded by the quiet hum of activity as residents went about their daily routines. The scent of aged parchment and leather-bound tomes filled the air, creating a comforting ambiance that seemed to whisper tales of adventure and wisdom to all who entered.
The library was Crex's sanctuary, a place where they could lose themself in the pages of a book and forget the world outside. As they stepped inside, the coolness of the room washed over them, a stark contrast to the warmth of the sun outside. The familiar scent of the library brought a sense of comfort and belonging, like returning to a mother's embrace after a long journey.
In the quiet corners of the library, a red centaur was already seated, his red and white wings around his head fluttering

DeviantArt Turns 24 Karat Gold by team, journal
DeviantArt Turns 24 Karat Gold
Go for the gold and celebrate DeviantArt’s 24th birthday with glitter and glam!
The Gold Bar Badge
When you think a deviation or comment is golden, give it a Gold Bar badge! This limited-time badge will add shine and sparkle to deviations and comments you think feel luxurious, or ones you'd love enough to put a ring on.
Each Gold Bar badge costs 24 fragments to give, and if you give 24 of them to other deviants, you’ll earn a Golden Fella badge for your profile!
This Golden Fella is a 24th birthday special and can only be earned until August 31st, 2024 at 11:59PM PST, so get it while you can!
24 Karat Customization
If you love gold, add even more shine to the celebration with a new golden Profile Skin or deviation background!

Rolling out a more reliable rich text editor by team, journal
Rolling out a more reliable rich text editor
An updated and improved rich text editor is gradually being rolled out across DeviantArt!
Why is the current editor being replaced?
DeviantArt’s existing text editor lets you do a variety of things, from basic formatting to embedding deviations and journals in comments. However, it also leaves more room for instability and bugs to manifest, particularly as the third-party technology the editor was built upon has been depreciated over time. This makes for a frustrating experience for deviants and the developer team alike, as more bugs arise and they become increasingly difficult – and sometimes not feasible – to fix.
What’s happening now?
The team has been hard at work for the past several months rebuilding the editor from the ground up, using more reliable technology that allows for better support and future improvements.When using the new editor, you’ll see some subtle differences, but the available features should remain largely the same. You may experience some bugs during the

Studio Updates: Bulk Presets and Repositioning by team, journal
Studio Updates: Bulk Presets and Repositioning
More updates have been made to the Studio in response to community feedback! In addition to the new Scheduled tab that launched last week, you can now bulk apply presets to existing drafts and reorder drafts in your Studio.
Bulk Applying Presets
Your preset templates can now be applied in bulk to existing drafts. Select the items you’d like to apply a preset to, click Edit, and then click “Preset Template” to choose the preset you want to apply to the selected items.
Remember that you can create multiple presets for the different types of art you submit frequently, such as portrait photography or cake decorating.
Repositioning
You can now reposition and reorder drafts in the Studio to sort items based on your preferences. To reorder your drafts in Studio, you can either drag and drop items into your preferred order, or you can click on the three-dot menu on an individual draft and select an option from the “Order” sub-menu.

TIMELESS by Xanphre, literature
Literature
TIMELESS
I don't understand, Universe
The things you do
Is it always me?
Or do you have something to do with it too?
I try to understand
That love isn't transactional
It just is.
So forgive me my ignorance
Does there always have to be
So much goddamned pain?
And does every day essentially have to be the same
With so much needless suffering
With so much confusion
So much doubt?
If love isn't transactional
Why do I always feel that I have to shout
Get so angry, so enraged?
Like a man that is unable
to do anything
Like a prisoner, trapped in a cage
The centerpiece in this carnival
With nothing left to say
Feel
Pray, or think
I have a suspicion
That I will never truly know you
And it's times like this
When I don't think I ever want to
My understanding of love seems to be
So diverse from yours
When I don't see any rhyme or reason
I'm reminded of the cold bars surrounding
My prison
And yet
I believe that I committed no crime
But to live
Sometimes never knowing, never even understanding
Why I
