I dreamed about two wanderers.

They were young and free, and they roamed about without where from or where to. They did not have an old home to return to, or a new home to reach. They did not take the train or hitched a ride in a car; no methods of travel but their own two feet would do. So then, shouldering their heavy packs they wandered aimlessly, and by a token of chance ...

they met.

And when they met, the two wanderers decided to wander together, as long as they could, because the young man was going to die, it was only a matter of time. Together, they made friends along the road, and enemies, and they fell in love, very slowly, and one night the young woman stood on the balcon of the abandoned lodge they were staying for the day. The young man stepped out into the cool air and wrapped his arms around her, and she cried, she could not stop the tears. It was too early, she told him, she did not want to part ways with him yet.

It was then that I realized that I was the woman and that the love that I felt for the man was not how a woman loves a man, but how a sister loves a brother. And the moment that I came to understand this, I woke up from my brother's arms. Until now, I cannot shake the profound sadness of how real it felt when it was only a dream, and only a dream hug, and how much I still miss him. I woke up crying, and my body and mind seem determined to keep the flood gates open, at least for the moment.

I hope you guys had a better night than I, or, if you are about to go to sleep, that your dreams will be sweet and zero percent bitter.

I actually got tagged by TehAngelsCry. Guess it's time for some Q&A, then, just for you. Watch out.

How long have you been on DeviantArt?


Since I was 17, about. Differnet accounts. My first lasted six years, but I needed a fresh start, and this is it.

What does your username mean?


Nothing, according to myself.

Describe yourself in three words.


Driven. Passionate. Difficult.

Are you left or right handed?


Broken handed, at the moment. Sadly, that means the same as right handed. Yeah, I'm a typing lefty. You should see my handwriting: I could make a fortune as a doctor.

What was your first deviation?


Mostly awkward. The first submissions are the hardest and the ones one expects the most from, despite logic dictating that when no one knows you, no one sees you. It was either a piece of writing or a rather bad photomanipulation.

What is your favourite type of art to create?


I'm a writer. I write.

If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?


None. Instant mastery would lack the sense of achievement. I wouldn't know what to do with it. If I want to change things up, I'll work for it.

What was your first favourite?


I find it impossible to even guess at it, but my favourites on this account, which for all intents and purposes has become my one and only account, clearly state that it is this one:

Yasmina and Tarik by oni-baba

What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?


Visual art. Drawings, paintings -- I am in awe of people who can make their ideas happen in that way.

Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?


SimplySilent. Who knows me knows that.

If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?


SimplySilent makes the top of the list, but there are quite a few, like my dear tagger, TehAngelsCry. To be frank, I've had so many good experiences with fellow artists, I cannot in good conscience exclude anyone I have met along the road. You guys know I mean you.

How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?


Dropping SimplySilent's name is becoming kind of a thing here, but she opened up a lot of avenues to me I didn't know existed. She's always there for me, always along for the ride, not reigning in my crazy but going crazy with me; she has seen glimpses of my at my worst and not turned away, and she was there for me during some of the most difficult periods of my time, such as my cancer and my brother's suicide. I can count on her and I trust her. When I say that I love her I mean it. The game some deviants have made of it was fun, but there is a kernel of truth to it. I wouldn't have minded having her as a sister.

What are your preferred tools to create art?


Open Office, Photoshop, Illustrator, 3DS Max, Substance Painter. These are my main go-to tools, but I also use a ton of smaller applications to get my art going.

What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?


Wherever my mind happens to be at any given moment.

What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?


Don't have one!

Stay strong and be fierce, people.

Well, I'll be - where did that double-colon come from? It didn't come over the sea and it wasn't in search of India. No, it came with CSS3 and it is not, as some people believe, the new single-colon.

The double-colon is W3C's attempt to clarify the distinction between pseudo-elements and pseudo-classes, both of which received the same single-colon treatment in CSS1 and 2. Basically...


::after
::before
::first-letter
::first-line
::selection


... not all of which are accessible on deviantART - are pseudo-elements. The pseudo-classes (:active, :hover, etc.) are still subject to the single-colon.

Now I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that it's CSS3, so not every browser, namely everything preceeding IE version 9, supports the double-colon just yet. The good news is that you can use the single-colon for pseudo-elements, backward compatibility-style.

Thank you all so much for thinking of me on that bygone birthday of mine. It was a calm day - a day like any other one might say - and your comments and gifts were what made it special for me. :huggle:

I wish you all the most festive feelings for this season of Santanism (or not, depending on your religion or not-religion). Of course, that same wish goes to everyone because bulk order. More festive for everyone.
(Also I did ask many people not to congratulate me, including family, but I'm no good with complicated so let's skip to the part where they, you, forgive me.)

P.S.: And so my dove doesn't rip my head off for neglecting to mention her, here is what Special Someone left on my figurative doorstep. So sweet, thank you. :heart:




P.P.S.: And KING LLAMA! Woo!

apoemhowsweet has only been on dA a week, and I'm already quite in love with her writing. I wish you luck, watchers, and many, many friends :)

The Prettyboy


Nemmikins
Where do I begin? She is by far one of THE MOST generous artists I have met here on deviantART! She is very polite and is an absolute joy to talk to! She is the type of person who will left others up just by being herself. She is an absolute dear.


Olivellaa
You are sweet, and funny, and kind, and always a joy to be around. I wish there wasn't eight hours between us, but I always feel so happy when I log on at Saturday or Sunday, because you're usually online then, and we're able to chat and have fun together. We've been internet sisters for around two years now, and I'm so honored to be your nee-chan. <3


SteampunkGirl198
You're my moirail, and I love you so much. You're so compassionate and empathetic and you're always able to make me laugh, yet you can be so serious too, always wanting to fight for justice. Did I mention how much I love you?
I can't imagine life without your emails and without our Friday night chats. Hold your head proudly and walk with swagger, girl, because you're awesome.


LandOfEndlessNight
I haven't known you for as long as my other friends, but you've already proved yourself to be an amazing, good-hearted girl who I hope to get closer to as time goes by! You also draw epically, I always love seeing your artwork! Stop putting yourself down, because lady, you too awesome.
