Thought it was high time I update my journals, as they say!

I haven't been very active on DeviantArt for at least the last year. It's not because I do not value the platform, nor the positive connections and memories I've had here. Rather, real life has taken the driver's seat.

I am in university studying my Bachelor's degree in Journalism. This year I am also an editor for my university's publication, and on top of that I am a subeditor for a new publication my colleagues are heading. This is the most busy, exciting, new, (did I mention busy?!) and joyous time of my life... thus far!

I always read my notes, I'm just unable to dedicate much time to uploading often and the like. I'm never too far away though, and still love interacting dearly with other deviants. You're such a talented bunch that the world needs to see


I'm growing into the world around me and edging towards professionalism each day. But I owe a lot to DeviantArt, projecteducate, and all the amazing artists, communicators, writers, community members, jesters, newbies, and oldies, I've had the pleasure of speaking with. It ain't the end, it's just a transition fam. If you're at all interested, know I am far more active on Instagram: www.instagram.com/ikrebet/.

May your lives also be sweet, and your health no short of wonderful. Love yourself and others

Until the next upload!

Hey now, glad you're here. How are you? Talk to me.

I honestly believe we all talk to ourselves, in some way or another. Today, and I am sorry to hop onto the soapbox, but I wish to open a discussion with you. Communication between me and those whom I watch, and those who I watch, matters to me.

I an attempt to talk with myself in a positive light today, I found myself reflecting on my time and presence here. In fact, after examining my profile to clean up any messy bits I did not like, I realised I have one hundred artists watching me. 

One hundred. Hot damn, what happened here?

Is what I asked myself - where did these lovely people come from and what possessed them to press that button?
I am sure the answer varies, and I wish to thank you all dearly for being here. I would never have guessed I would be this lucky to have so many around to bring me such joy - seems like the last I checked, I had five watchers and I was rapt!

You know as well as I do that it is not the numbers, the quantity of entities that makes for a fulfilling time, but it is their quality. Thus, I am blessed.

Thank you all for everything. May the happiness not stop anytime soon!

Now, enough about me; what is news with you?  

Wow me, I got tagged by the awesome H0p3-t0-D13 - feeling quite special today  I'm normally a little shy about these, but I appreciate it heaps, thank you H0p3! 

RULES: 
- Answer 13 questions made by the person who tagged you, and make your own 13 questions for those you tag.
- Tag 13 deviants. Make sure they know they are tagged.  
- Don't say "you're tagged if you read this".
- It is forbidden not to tag anyone.
- No tagging back.

H0p3's QUESTIONS: 
1. Tell me about a time you really appreciated your shoes. 
Shoes are ace man. So many different styles, such power to really make an outfit, and different fits on the foot - when I'm out and I'm in the shoe section, I just quietly gaze at some, I fear. Whenever I wear some that are a little more fancy, I appreciate how they somehow look decent on me, that they last for hours, and how they make me feel. For a more specific time, I had a formal in Year 11, and the shoes I wore (black, versatile, slick) served me well through dancing four odd hours into the night.

2. What's your favorite summer food, and why? 
Dont be annoyed when I tell you I don't know please. I don't often think of food being season-specific other than some soups being more cosy for colder weather and for barbecues being for a nice summer. Even then, my family events often have a barbecue where we cook and eat delicious Greek food  So, I would have to say barbecue, for lack of anything else more creative!

3. Do you post your artistry anywhere else? 
*flails hand at you cutie H0p3* Aw you. No, I am only posting my stuff in DeviantArt. Ain't no other, I - I - I need no other. However, of you post elsewhere, let me know so I can follow it!

4. Do you like salad? Any kind counts, but you should be specific. 
I lurve salad. However, as any other, I have standards and needs for my salads when they're not homemade. I'm not necessarily a fan of raw tomato, for instance. As for specific salads... I cannot think of salads with names that I have actually tried, like Caesar for instance. But I'll eat salad with you, don't worry. I also like fruit salad, and now I am craving it haha!

5. Call or text? 
I generally text, but I encourage calls if it's serious/urgent/you need to actually talk.

6. Ever had a run-in with the police? Can you tell me about it? 
In primary school, a kid's mum came in to talk about her work as a policewoman. Otherwise, nope *knocks wood*.

7. What kind of shows do you watch on tv? (If you don't, what do you do with your spare time?) 
I don't really TV anymore, but I'll turn to Netflix if there's a show people in my life need me to watch - home has grown a humongous collection of movies over the years so I'm spoilt for options. I love a variety of genres! In my spare time, I try to get myself organised, I read, write, or catch up on some channels on YouTube, and I also hang out here! ((I make it to the gym when I can))

8. Jewelry person or nah? 
I am, I suppose. My ears are pierced, so they're ready to change from my sleepers to something fancier, and when I've an event I make an effort with some bling, generally. Jewellery, too, is special as an accessory. 

9. When you sleep is it better to be too warm or too cold? fluffyblanketsforthewin 
Sometimes this first world struggle is too real. Look, I will say I would rather it be a too cold than too warm, since too much heat is worse than being freezing at night. Warm nights are great, but summer here can yeild nights where you're sweating, tossing, and suffering in your own skin all night. I have a thin/thick doona as needed   

10. Are you experimental with your art? Would you try a different medium from your preferred one once in a while? 
I try to be! Years ago I would actually draw/sketch with pencil on paper, and when I write cards I generally cover the left-hand side of the card with drawings/comics/comments, but I lost the time, will, and dilusion of skill to continue drawing. These notebooks are still around, and I intend to make use of them as I did with my Masked Kanji series, for example. Outside of this, I want to keep an open mindset; I always try to change my poems up in content, style, voice, etc. because we will all get headaches otherwise, and dA allows for some opportunities to play around with different mediums The folks I watch are plenty inspiring too.

11. Fond of antiques? Or more modern? i'm a typewriter person myself i even got an electric one from an old lady 
OOOOH SHOW US sounds incredible! I'm still finding my style in the world, but I generally find more modern styles to be more pleasing than overly vintage/retro stuff. But I love both worlds. Interesting question, thank you!

12. Rather read old books or new books? (Or both or neither i suppose) 
Both of them all please thank you goodnight. I've a busy year, so there has been no time to read for pleasure, but know I would if I could. Look out, local library! 

13. Do you have any superstitions? Can I read about them? 
I find it hard to separate superstitions from traditions, which often end up holding each other's hands. Most of the ye olde ones like "seven years bad luck from breaking a mirror", or "fear the black cat" or something don't resonate with me, they're more interesting to me than anything else. 
I don't have anything underneath my bed, stored or otherwise, if that answers the question - I can't think of any!

Have a wonderful week peeps!
 

You are the most magnificent person in the world, and more important than anything. 
A child can only beg and moan before they realise it's a wrong way to attract your attention.
Words aren't worthy to describe the value and strength of our love for you, and your love for us, yet we elect this day as one to endeavour to do just that.
We can never fully express how thankful we are, for all that you are and do for us.
Thank you.

My mum is an absolute blessing and I love her to minuscule bits. I hope your relationship with your mum, mother, ma (what I call mine), or momsy, is a lovely and heart warming one.
Whether she is right next to you right now, or worlds away from you, I hope this Mother's Day will be a positive opportunity to reflect for a moment on her.

It would've taken a whole lots of heaps of things to get you where you are today, a place where I hope you are happy. I will go out on a limb here to say that your mum probably had a heaping lot to do with that.

As a child and feminist, I hope our mothers, fathers, caretakers, and guardians get the appreciation and love they deserve, for it is far too easy and unjust to take them for granted. 

You get my jist. Today, me and my beloved family will celebrate my mum, yesterday we celebrated my yiayia. I hope your day is sweet before the working week.

Stay safe, stay happy

Hello dearest deviants. How are you all? Hope this journal finds you well.

I feel compelled to write this, considering how this time last year I first made this account. That's right folks, yo neighbahhood kid PeriodicFable is celebrating their first DA anniversary!

 I gotta say, there is such a party going on in my head right now. 

Largely, this is a celebration of how far I have come because of this community. You have seen me through another year of my life, and have perhaps even read a piece of mine! Never before would I have guessed I'd muster up the guts to upload online, and I thank each and every one of you reading this. If I have experienced such joy and learnt so much in just one year amongst this community, why, I cannot wait for the years to come!
I hope that it is the same for you, and that I can be there for you if you need, just as you have for me. It brings a smile to my face to have this special occasion on my calendar  

Thank you. 

(Honourable mention: If you're getting revved for a nice day tomorrow, I hope you do! Happy Valentine's Day! If you're feeling a little under the weather for it, then just don't worry. I'm here, and very single.  )

Here's to another year here people. Have a great day!



So, is your DA anniversary important to you?
