   Currently Listening: Missing by Everything But the Girl
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Just a min' ago, I contemplated deleting my account here and on dA and on Xanga and FF.net. Reasons why:

For dA: I'm hardly recognized there, and I don't exactly use my account there anymore, so most likely today I'll delete it. I mean, I don't get any favorites or comments anymore so, -shrugs- what's the point? Neh, I'm gonna go delete it.

For Xanga: I don't think I'll delete this one. I'm getting more friends on there. Might not be a lot in some others' eyes, but I like my bunch of friends on Xanga. X3 They make me smile and laugh. I just need to update more. X.x

For Fanfiction: I have kind of a writers' block, so I haven't cranked out any other chapters for my story yet. But I'll leave it since sooner or later I'll start posting my series, Ecstacy Resistance.


Now, the reason for contemplating leaving here:

I am SO FRICKIN' TIRED of everyone fawning over the SAME people/artists, the SAME series, and the SAME characters/pairings. It's making me VERY SICK.

I miss the good ol' days (when I wasn't even a member but just watching the site grow) when people liked all different sorts of art instead of the same thing. Now THAT was the good ol' Otaku.

But now it's like, "OMG NARUTO PICTURE I MUST COMMENT" or "THAT IS SUCH A POPULAR PAIRING I WANNA BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND COMMENT ONLY THIS PAIRING" or "WOW WHAT A COOL OC I'LL MAKE MY OWN NOW" or "NARUTO NARUTO NARUTO / FMA FMA FMA FMA" or "I THINK I'LL JUST ONLY COMMENT THIS ARTIST" or "OMG I LOVE THIS YADDA YADDA YADDA BLECK!".

And then people who try for hours -- DAYS at a time -- on their own series and characters get "Oh, that's nice" or "Cute" or "I like it".

And for people like me, it's, "CAN YOU MAKE A REQUEST FOR ME PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER I WANT A PICTURE OF NARUTO/KINGDOM HEARTS/FMA/INUYASHA OKTHNXBYENOW", which is what most of my PMs are.

I am just at my LIMIT and sooner or later, if that doesn't change, I will delete my account here without a second thought. It's just STUPID and I know things here should NOT be done that way.

-sigh- I'm not pointing fingers at any specific person and I'm not generalizing all of the Otakus here either. I'm also very sorry if I sound rude or if I sound like I'm blowing up at just you.

I'd just like at least a BIT more appreciation for pictures that I work for hours on with all the talent I can muster up. Is that so much to ask for for pictures I love and cherish among my others? No, I think not.

Like (I've made this kind of comparison before) my stupid Naruto "Ninja" cartoon (spent 2 minutes on it), it got 50+ votes and 30+ comments. My latest picture "God's Speed" made SO SPECIAL for a dear friend (which took at least 5+ hours) got 3 votes and 3 comments (excluding my replies).

GOSH FREAKING DARNIT SHOW A LITTLE LOVE FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN NARUTO AND INUYASHA AND FMA AND ALL THOSE STUPID THINGS. Does ANYONE AT ALL agree with me on this?!?!!
