Loud Silence -READ DESCRIPTION
stark slence not to the living
but to the dying instead
ceasefire of all the pain that
makes me feel dead
sights of seeing ppl exploding
and hurting you inside your head
the things you're afraid of still sleep
with you in bed
creeping blinders on all of the lookers
and straight through their looking glass
you're not alright but you can still pass
for the living and there is no life without
giving
receiving answers after they've left
we can't understand life until after death
yet never giving my secrets after life
and the lies about all how much is left
death may take that away but mind paralysis
means I'll just stay locked far away
still it'll come back possibly and hopefully
one day when the light is near
fighting in the dark just to stay here
but I don't know where I am
maybe I'll just stay hidden tucked away
somewhere being self obsessed bc I'm
living still but won't do it
out of fear at least not while I'm still here
love is love as beauty dies
living and dying both create

Celebrate Pride 2025: The Fabric Of Freedom by team, journal
Celebrate Pride 2025: The Fabric Of Freedom
2025 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Washington, D.C.’s iconic Pride celebrations, but the essence of pride is woven into the tapestry of history. This year's theme is the Fabric of Freedom, signifying how, while no single thread or pattern defines the community, bringing them together celebrates uniqueness while embodying strength, creative expression, and freedom.
Celebrate With Color
We commissioned @Estheryu to create line art for you to color and celebrate the Fabric of Freedom in whatever hues your heart desires. Submit your finished work of art to your gallery or display your coloring page as a cover image on your profile!
"The design theme of the art revolves around the structure of freedom (wings), the Fabric of Freedom, and most importantly Love yourself."
- @Estheryu
Sew a Badge onto the Fabric of Freedom
For the month of Pride, when you see deviations or comments that are inclusive, supportive, or celebrate strength, award them with the Fabric of Freedom

Celebrating Deviousness - June 2025 by team, journal
Celebrating Deviousness - June 2025
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. @Caffinated-Pinecone is the recipient of June 2025’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating them!
From the sun-dappled forests of Northern California to the winding banks of Lake Michigan, @Caffinated-Pinecone’s creativity grows wild and free — rooted in nature, nurtured by story, and deeply entwined with community.
Her gallery feels like stumbling upon a secret glade: filled with earthy watercolors, imaginative creatures, original comics, and a world that’s both ancient and deeply personal. Whether conjuring whimsical griffins from scraps or painting quiet scenes that hum with life, her art invites you to linger and feel something real.
However, their presence stretches far beyond the canvas. Over more than a decade on DeviantArt, @Caffinated-Pinecone has

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.

Unlist Deviations to Archive Your Art
Exert even more control over your profile and galleries.
Deviants sometimes want to store certain works of art currently in their gallery. Like spring cleaning, they could intend to republish later to put deviations back in the spotlight, or perhaps they're looking for a more permanent storage solution that's less final than deletion, should they need to reference it later.
Think of unlisting sort of like sending something back to drafts! It's still in your studio, but it's not visible in your gallery, ready for any action you may wish to take on it in the future!
To unlist, click the “...” menu on the deviation page, then select “Unlist.” You can also unlist directly from your Studio!
If you decide you want to publish the deviation again, click "Submit" like you would on any item in your Studio.
When you unlist:
Your deviation goes to your Sta.sh.
Deviants with a link to the previously published page will no longer be able to access it, but like any item in your Sta.sh, you
Out of the blue by daveisquiet, literature
Literature
Out of the blue
There are times I think about you
As your memory comes from out of nowhere
Your smile and softer laughter
Straight out of the blue
I often wonder
Whatever became of that camera
35 mm and a closet darkroom
Was good enough for you
I bump into Jan in September
We went and had a cup of coffee
Talk a lot about you
How you sort vanished
Last she heard you were in Colorado
Working for some paper
Alone and happy
So your sister said
I have often wondered
Why you never chose to marry
It wasn’t that your beauty
Didn’t draw them in
No I think it goes much deeper
Like your stinging sweet memory
Hits me like a freight train
Every now and then
I guess we made it those four years
Got our piece of paper
Put those books aside
And ate a slice of life
Somewhere in those days
You and I we lost our way
That all started for me in the day you said goodbye
There are times you haunt me
In the most beautiful of remembering
The sweetest pain of knowing
What I will never know
Then again I am busy
And
