Epilogue: ...Dreams in their Empty House
The sea stretched out far into the seemingly endless expanse, a desolate expanse of blackness and somber, calm yet pristine waves. Even as the murky protoplasmic waters seemed to move, strange pebbles stirred the pristine surface, it remained devoid of even the faintest of whispers. There was no breath of life, no gust of wind, only a cold stillness that pervaded every inch of this desolate existence on which the dark traveler stood unmoving in his shapeless dark robes and dim red stola.
Above him the empty sky imitated the utter desolation where infinite possibilities reformulated themselves shone down its black light as the strange stars arose over the horizon. Before him, gargantuan edifices arose keeping the queer peace of the waters and the air; no drops cascading on its spires twisting into themselves, leaning east and west, burrowing south and north in maddening courses.
Some rose beyond the threshold of the primordial ocean bereft of life, thriving with an existence

A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile
Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

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

Celebrating Deviousness - August 2024
The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community and has been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @ShadowInkWarrior is the recipient of August 2024’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating her!
@ShadowInkWarrior is a long-time deviant who has been a friendly, helpful contributor to the adoptables community on DeviantArt. Over the years, she's provided many different pose references and line art options for artists to practice with or base their own creations on, completely free for anyone to use, and she often helps other artists when they're in need of creative assistance. It is a pleasure to name @ShadowInkWarrior the recipient of the Deviousness Award for August 2024!

captain cornsnort
Captain Fractus Cornsnort, a grizzled yet oddly sprightly figure, squinted against the blazing cyan skies as the SS Nurdfish creaked, groaned & practically jitterbugged its way through the splintered airwaves of the Galaxian Sea. His wide-brimmed hat, perched at an improbable angle on his head like a drunken vulture, flapped as the gusts threw a tantrum against the ship's sails. Cornsnort's mustache, a wiry testament to its owner's eccentricities, bristled with determination as he grasped the massive wheel. The SS Nurdfish was not just any interstellar vessel; it was an abominable, cobbled-together masterpiece of junkyard elegance, a battered space schooner that had seen more patches than sails. In a universe where logic danced on the precipice of madness, Cornsnort & his ship fit right in.
Beside him, on the captain's console, lounged Ruckus—a chunky, tabby-patterned fuzzball with an attitude louder than a quasar explosion. His one eye gleamed with perpetual mischief, while his
