FACEBOOKTUMBLRTWITTERPIXIVYOUTUBEINSTAGRAM ARTSTATIONTribute to my best friend. You were always there for me, through sunshine and rain. When my dysfunctional family was crumbling down, when I was bullied in school, when the entire world seemed so bleak, you wagged your tail and smiled at me. And suddenly everything was going to be okay.
We dug giant holes in the backyard, filled it with water, jumped in and covered ourselves in mud. The best days were when we got to go to your favorite lake. You really loved to roll in duck poop and dead fish. I held you in my lap even when you smelled like rotten fish. I had to shampoo you twice and it was all so much fun.
With each divorce and remarriage, we had to move and give you away when the new place didn't allow dogs. But somehow you always made it back to me. When emotional trauma gave me amnesia for one year, I couldn't remember the people in my life but I remember you. If my mom had gone through with the suicide, I would have been okay because I had you.
I grew up and you grew old. Now I'm old enough to be okay on my own, and it was thanks to you. I'll always miss you. Thank you for the 17 years of unconditional love.

To all of you who say that you don't know what you will do when you lose your special companion I would say this. Most do not contain as much love inside them as you do - so you, yourself are special too.
You must (must) be open to loving another special one. Do not deprive this next one of the gift you can offer them. When the first one was alive, they represented the whole of your love (and they knew it!) so it is not disrespectful to them if you love again. Don't make the mistake of interpreting this as some sort of selfish desire on your part for a 'replacement love'. In fact it would be a sin to withhold your love from those who need it.
When you are ready. And you will know when the next love is knocking on the door of your heart. This is how the universe works.
That beautiful illustration made it all the more real and visible.
I don't even care if you're gonna ever see this...I just want to THANK YOU.Thanks for this beautiful thing you created
Judging by description,you really had to go through hard times...I can't even imagine something like this happening to me.Multiple divorces?Suicidal mom?!Trauma so bad it literally gave you amnesia?!Congratulations you made this through,not everyone has that strenght <3
My cat is actually my best friend too...She's turning eleven this month,and whenever I try to imagine my world without her I feel like crying,cuz I just can't ;w; She's been with me for such a long time,she still remembers when I was just a kid,but she doesn't know that the day I first saw her,my biggest dream came true <3 I don't have to ask for more,only for this: I want her to stay with me as long as she can...so when the day finally comes,I won't need her so much anymore ;w;
It's true that pets are the best teachers - no one can help us cope with some things like them.Only people who never grew up with animals can say otherwise...Poor people...;u;
Ok,enough,I'm almost crying again x'D I just want thank you again...and your friend,too - without his "little" help you could not be here anymore,be glad you HAD him
Great work!!!
Your art is beautiful, Wenqing. I hope the art I create touches people the way yours does, someday.
She never does.
She gives no fucks about her viewers, dude.
I'm telling you to check out
I'm serious--you really give a damn. This girl is not the artist for you to poor your heart out to. XD I'm dead serious.
Listen to my words... find an artist who cares. You are a super amazing person. You are so fucking cool. Can we be friends?
Just because a person can't respond to her hundreds of thousands of comments doesn't mean they're stuck up or don't care.
The description alone should tell you this girl has a lot of day to day struggles and real life problems, just like any of us.
She's super popular.
She has a life outside of dA, but still chooses to grace the world with her art.
Be grateful she does that much.
I myself have been getting more popular and find it harder and harder to reply to the comments that flood my inbox.
We have lives outside of the internet.
We have real problems.
We have scars to deal with and we work to prevent new ones from happening.
We're people.
We aren't her, we don't know how much she has or what she sees.
Most people who don't reply do at least read their comments, i know this because i watch a lot of super popular artists that have admitted they read but don't have time to reply to SO MANY comments and so much love.
Nobody appreciates people who don't even know them, being a raging asshat on their behalf.
Try actually thinking before saying something so shitty to/about someone you don't even know.
She also has tons of other accounts and ways of keeping her watchers updated.
If she didn't care, she wouldn't clue anyone in.
Maybe it's time to exercise some empathy.
Empathy is nice. Uhhhh, I guess it would be that I am no empathetic?
I am! You have my word!
You do know she's going to therapy right? She has a lot of things outside of deviantart that she has to spend time on. Artists are not under any obligation to respond to comments. Also, deviantart is a huge platform so it's difficult to respond to all the comments she gets. She does communicate with her fans when she can - ex Facebook, Tumblr.
I had no idea she's going to therapy because I've taken multiple extended breaks from dA and I don't see all of her status updates. I do know, also, that she works with multiple different platforms, not JUST deviantART, to include Tumblr and Facebook, both of which I'm sure end up flooded with notifications.
I wonder how many people she responds to? Does she respond to any at all, at this point? I've been following her since before she got huge, eriume, and she has NEVER responded to me. Ever.
Anyways one thing you ultimately need to understand is the fact that she posts so many tutorials, opened a youtube account and tries to post speedpaints. If she was the type of person, to really ignore and not appreciate supporters, she wouldn't take the time to do those things for us.
We can just appreciate the fact that she still posts her artwork and sometimes gives us tutorials right? She doesn't have to respond to any comments because I know she's reading them when she can.
She totally postures, too.
Uhmmm... hey there--who are you?
So, hi... You could call me Ally... Who are you?
Why do you ask?
Define "normal".
