Description

So...with me confessing to my past ( Something important I need to explain.If you’ve seen my earlier DeviantArt favorites, you might have seen some from users named “Stuiterbal” and “BalloonYoumu”. Well, there is something about those two I need to say. They were alternate accounts of mine, and the story behind that honestly isn’t all too good. 5 years ago (when I was 14 years old), I was at school, and the class was searching our names up. When they looked up mine, they found my DeviantArt account and my favorites page, and all the stuff I had on there..and then they started to bully me for it, which got so bad I had to not be with the rest of the students during breaks. But to make sure they stopped bullying me, my mom gave me an idea, to remove all the kink based favorites from my list and make a new account for that, and thus, we created Stuiterbal’s account as a sort of “Online Secret Identity”. Then later, in 2020, I made an alternate account on Discord to use, and there was an image by the user “Rubberfrills” that I really liked, of Youmu Konpaku from the Touhou Project series being turned into a balloon person. So I named the alternate account “Balloon Youmu” and then I went too far with it. I treated Balloon Youmu as moreso a friend than myself with a different name. I started interacting with it on servers as well, and it spiraled into me making Youmu her own character called “Juni”, who was named by a friend of mine, and me making BalloonYoumu an account on DeviantArt. It all started to feel worse for me after that, so I stopped using the “Stuiterbal” and “Balloon Youmu” accounts more and more until I essentially left them to rot. But I’ve been thinking of telling the truth about it more and more recently, so that’s why I’m telling it now. Now to just explain some things that will be happening now that I’ve told the truth…no, the other accounts will not be Deactivated, they’ll just remain how they are now, without anything new being posted or commented on there. Some things I had on those accounts will be migrated over to this account, mainly OCs and maybe a few concepts here and there, but any mentions to SML I had on the Stuiterbal account will not be brought over, I will see what I can do about ideas like Mirar, Parallel Gensokyo or other things I want to bring over from back there. I will also mention that four of the characters I’m bringing over, Antamea, Baby Yoshi, Mimikyu and Stuiterbal, have gotten major reworks and redesigns. But that’s honestly all I wanted to say, I’ve been wanting to let the truth about Stuiterbal and BalloonYoumu out for a while now, but I’ve only now built up the courage to let it all out. Please, don’t judge past me’s terrible actions, I was young, stupid and it was hard for me to realise what could’ve happened from all this. That is all.)...and me looking forward to the future with that weight lifted, I figured I should show off the characters I've already decided to bring back. Here they are from left to right:
Baby Yoshi: The main gist of his character has stayed the same: Eternally young Yoshi with wings and a sword.
Stuiterbal: Now named Baal, with Stuiterbal being their nickname. They've been given a redesign that makes them look less like Leon but yellow, they're Non-Binary now and they're being rewritten.
Antamea: Has been mostly changed, no longer connected to Peach, no longer a Toadstool, princess of a dream world.
Juni: Has remained mostly the same, except for some more lore building.
Mimikyu: Still Baby Yoshi's bestie, but getting some rewrites here and there.

Antamea's design looks sick. I love the fairy wings too. Nice touch. ^^
