Back in last December, I renamed this DA account from Weegeetnik to RomWatt and created a new account called TheWeegeetnik (which has since been renamed WeegeetnikArt), and now I should have actually keep this account's name as it was and created a separate account named RomWatt, because I realised that, on this account, I actually posted more Gmod artworks/screenshots than drawings, the problem is that I didn't want to repost all the drawings I've already made on a new account and since this account was created in 2010, I thought it was really cool to have an old account (and I still think so).

I also realised that, in the future, if people were to look at my early deviations, they would mainly find Gmod screenshots and such, which would be very inconsistent with what I want to do with this account now, and assuming I would improve my style, my earlier "crappy" drawings would have just been much of a big deal. Moreover, the majority of my views still comes from my Gmod artworks, which could be found in the other deviation's results, and people would still find both my accounts easily if I had just created another account for RomWatt and keep Weegeetnik for this one... You see what I mean ?

But now I can't go back, I may not be able to switch my account's name back to Weegeetnik, but I definitely don't think I can create another account or even rename my other one RomWatt. Now I'm hesitating between two possibilities :
1) I either keeping my Gmod artworks on this account and running the risk of being unconsistent both with my own art and with the fact that, since these Gmod artworks are related to my other namesake, that wouldn't make sense to people coming from, say, my videos or Steam artworks from Weegeetnik and then falling upon a guy name RomWatt, that would seem weird, don't you think ?
or 2) I repost all my Gmod artworks to WeegeetnikArt, but there are like over a hundred of those, I would not only have to rewrite all the links leading to each deviation again, but I would mostly have to copy-paste all the descriptions and tags while also adding the date each deviation was originally posted. For some, it wouldn't be much of problem, but for others, it would very out of pace, especially for the event related deviations, such as the birthday-related deviations or the few ones paying tribute to someone deceased, like the one for Kitty0706, one of my most popular deviations to this day. By the way, I would also lose all the favs and comments of all the deviations that I would have "moved".

I really don't know what to do, I already feel like I've already made numerous chaotic decisions in my Internet career, in addition, I will soon have to deal with getting a "real job", I'm totally unsure how things will continue from now on. 2016 was like the year when I got so many ambitions, maybe too many actually, I couldn't keep up with all I wanted to do so I ended up doing very much less than I initially wanted, I kinda lost control over my own life. I actually wish I could go back in time and redo everything again, but what is done is done, no one can undo what's already been done.

And on top of all that, I'll be 21 tomorrow, I'm realising that I'm getting old and it feels like it's only downhill for me now. I'd better actually begin to do what I really want to do in my life: making entertaining videos and art, and becoming able to live off it by getting more popular by any means, or I'll eventually end up being stuck with a life (and a job) I won't like and which would probably completely destroy my motivation, .

Anyway, I'll stop here before it gets too depressing. I hope what I said didn't make you too worried about me, and thank you in advance for your heartwarming messages, if you have one to share to me... and for your birthday wishes.

Hopefully see you next time with the next whatever I will have created for you, and have a swell day.
