Deviation Actions
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.

Happy New Year 2022
Man, I can barely grasp with 2022 being already there! The past year alone has been pretty harrowing, let alone the last two. My mental health took a nosedive, and I don't know where to go from there. So much has happened in the world, I've been living on my own for over one year, and yet I barely achieved anything. I've been plagued with self-doubt and insecurity for a few years now and it didn't get better. I am still unemployed, the pressure to get a job I may not enjoy conflicting with my own desires, the constant need to be productive while getting nothing done, and my own failure, professional as much as personal, broke my self-esteem. Now when I create stuff, I don't really feel joy, or even the motivation to finish. I realized my drawing process is inefficient so I didn't make new drawings, and the only new video I released severely underperformed, that devastated me. I started to wonder if it's really worth it to put all the little energy I have into what I love only to
Happy New Year 2021
2020 is coming to an end, and I'd like to reflect back on it. It's obviously been a rough year to everyone, including myself, while I finally moved to my own apartment, I thought it'd give me more freedom and let me be able to focus more on my projects, but instead I got lazy and complacent. My personal problems I had before the pandemic, especially finding a job, are still here, and the pandemic didn't help me with my mental health or anyting else really, I didn't concretised any of my ideas in the slightest, and I don't even know what to do or where to go from there, from trying out livestreaming to work on my webcomic projects, to make some new videos and figure out a new format. My biggest accomplishment this year was rebranding my YouTube channel, which wasn't an easy decision to make, let alone execute, and aside from reuploading my older 2D cartoons and my music, and making only a handful new drawings, I actually didn't do much. I'm not really in the mood to celebrate the New
Moving Out
It's finally happening ! This weekend, I will no longer be leaving with my parents and will be on my own in my own new apartment ! This will be a great challenge, as I'll have to do all chores myself, and overall figure things out by myself, but on the other hand, without my family "impeding" into my business and with a better bandwidth (well, once I'll be connected to the Internet at my new place), I'll finally be able to work on my projects with relatively more ease, even if I technically still have to get a job. Economic situation apart, I cannot guarantee anything, but I will hopefully become more productive and motivated than ever, and besides, I might as well find a way to make a living out of what I'll be doing ! Everybody's gotta pay their rent and food, you know. I'll see what I can do to make a living, but in the mean time, you can donate to my Ko-Fi page to support me financially here: ko-fi.com/romwatt I'll leave you at that. See y'all in the near future !
About my YouTube channel
Hey I wanna talk about my YouTube channel, specifically Weegeetnik, where I used to make Gmod machinimas and a few shitpost videos. Retrospectively, maybe I should have just renamed it into RomWatt and keep uploading all my major projects, (Gmod machinimas, 2D animations and others) onto it instead of creating a new channel to make different, more varied content; the reason I went for the latter was because I didn't want to get my audience confused, but I'm now realising I shot myself in the foot by uploading my "original", non Gmod or YTP related work on a smaller, unmonetised channel where it barely gets any traction. Moreover, I think I should have just renamed all my social media accounts to my new chosen name. This situation has been tormenting me ever since I've split between "RomWatt" and "Weegeetnik", as I find myself having to manage too many accounts, and now I'm wondering if I should go ahead and rename my channel Weegeetnik into "RomWatt", or "RomWatt (Weegeetnik)", to
