A Man's Worth

Been searching across every uncharted territory smudged on parchment Vanquishing the true colors of my room to a realm beyond cartography. Floorboards condescendingly creak as I pace in hopes of one coming loose, Leading to endless darkness far preferable to the scent of stagnation: Vanilla extracted of flavor, beans filling in those hopeful cracks So I am sentenced to isolation waltzing with madness... for a time. The jailer has received his payment, keys still swung out of reach Until their whispers savor the nectar of this supposed sanctum's god. As I let them in, lemons of the forbidden tree send sour tribulation Unable to brush the sweetness off my lips because I tell them all: "Just a little longer, I can see your smiles through cracking walls." It is time to face the warden, staring back through the jailer's keys Swept into my grasp to leave this personal prison deservedly desolate. We can stay running in circles so the truth remains kept at bay, Or we could step into the bay

Rolling out a more reliable rich text editor

Jul 31, 2024

An updated and improved rich text editor is gradually being rolled out across DeviantArt! Why is the current editor being replaced? DeviantArt’s existing text editor lets you do a variety of things, from basic formatting to embedding deviations and journals in comments. However, it also leaves more room for instability and bugs to manifest, particularly as the third-party technology the editor was built upon has been depreciated over time. This makes for a frustrating experience for deviants and the developer team alike, as more bugs arise and they become increasingly difficult – and sometimes not feasible – to fix. What’s happening now? The team has been hard at work for the past several months rebuilding the editor from the ground up, using more reliable technology that allows for better support and future improvements.When using the new editor, you’ll see some subtle differences, but the available features should remain largely the same. You may experience some bugs during the

Adoptable Creator Showcase: June 2024

Jun 28, 2024

This monthly series highlights artists from the Adoptables community. Learn more about these artists, the art they make, and what inspires them to create. You’ll love this handpicked collection of adoptables, so consider buying some of their work! @HiMadmen Hello, I'm an artist specializing in drawing male trickster characters, having started my journey four years ago with a graphics tablet and a desire for both self-expression and earning an income. Selling my first adoptable for six dollars was a proud moment, and I set out to stand out in the market by focusing on drawing courageous male figures. Despite criticism for not conforming to traditional adoptable norms, I found joy in crafting detailed characters and building immersive worlds. Along the way, I've experienced highs like receiving my first AB and being featured with a Daily Deviation, as well as lows including struggles with depression triggered by social media setbacks. Despite these challenges, my passion for

Alive

The day was grey, dark clouds moved across the sky above the castle and gave the sun no chance to make an appearance. It was already noon, but it was so gloomy that candles had to be lit everywhere in the castle, a task that had actually taken hours. The castle was quiet, lunch was already over and most of the servants were busy in the kitchen or in other parts of the castle. Monsieur Cogsworth stood in his room by the window and looked out into the grey of the day. It had begun to rain, thick drops pattering down from the clouds and pouring onto the castle, the courtyard, the garden. He stood still at the window, a cup of his favourite tea in his hands, but he seemed to have forgotten all about it. His thoughts were far away and yet they were bound to this place, as the past would haunt him. Yet three months had already passed. Three months since Bell had confessed her love to Prince Adam, three months since the enchantress' curse had been lifted, three months since they were human
