You have to pay for premium to get sort of official critiques i guess, which by the way premium only lasts a certain amount of time. and it costs more the longer you want it

So really you could critique anything you want

Also yeah that poll is extremely inaccurate, the easiest way to piss most people off on da while avoiding a ban is to give them constructive criticism

You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!

So, long story short, a conversation via Minecraft ended up with someone saying that George Washington crossing the Delaware in a rubber dinghy sounds like a fetish. "Nay!" says I, "a dinghy fetish is too absurd to ever exist!"

So I searched DA to prove it by elimination.



I was wrong.

This is entirely accurate when you consider that dA considers any negative or constructive critique as trolling/flaming and sycophancy is mistaken for criticism.

I love how this person lapses into their own deranged, hyperactive, lolmonkeycheese dialogue after all of two lines. Characters to DA'ers are all just mouthpieces for the DA'ers and the narcissism of it drives me crazy. At the risk of sounding like a ponygoon, I'll just say that this does not sound like these two characters at all. It might as well be Charles Foster Kane and Captain Ahab having a dialogue here. It makes about as much (lack of) sense, and a DA'er wouldn't write anything but the names differently.

I'm not an artist, but I write fiction. There's almost as much written horror on DA as there is visual media. I also teach creative writing and I occasionally get treated to fan fics in workshops despite my warning against too much "appropriation." I use the euphemism in a futile attempt to preserve fan fic writers' dignity.



Also, about that poll: even if that poll were true, if a full third of these "artists" don't just accept and use critiques, that is incredibly awful. Can you imagine a studio art class where 1/3 of the class doesn't take criticism, instead of just that one guy or gal that seems to sneak into every studio and workshop? The class would be almost impossible until all those people dropped or were bounced out of the class. That said, the reality is much worse than that, as people have been saying. I just want to say that even the best imagining of DA, apparently, is still intellectually bankrupt.

Fake edit: my girlfriend ( ) watches the ponies. I have seen a few episodes. It's very alright.

Can do. I'll do some digging around this weekend when I have more time to kill brain cells.

quote:



Is there any thought to these at all? I mean, how hard is it to make the character "design" fit the song more appropriately? "Professional Killer" is about (particularly bad) soldiers, so why not have that one at least vaguely related to that? KMFDM lyrics are not that hard to figure out, people. Even staying away from literal stuff, why not design the character's colors, contrast, and patterns to be more like Brute's artwork that is on drat near every KMFDM cover?



It's one thing for DA people to be bad artists, but they don't even put effort into poo poo.

My first thought was "This girl has no idea what the word 'flirting' means," but I think I prefer to think that she does and whenever she sees a cute guy on the bus or wherever she just immediately, without a single word, grips his arm like a vice and plants her face into his chest.

Probably because tons of mangas and animes do it, and because furries. And you know deviantart isn't above just outright copying whatever's done in manga and anime except ten times worse.

It's easy to get stuck in a rut where you can only draw cute stuff, especially if you're not so confident. Same goes for drawing sonic stuff, goth stuff, incomprehensibly buff stuff- or airbag fetish pictures I guess. Thanks for showing me anything is possible, deviantart!

Of all the bizarre fetishes SA has introduced me to, this has to be one of the... stupidest? freakiest? I don't even know what word to use.

Airbags? What?

This doesn't really fit Rule #34, I think we need a new one.

I hereby propose:
Rule #49 - Household objects, bodily functions or body parts - there is a sexual fetish involving it. No exceptions.

There are much more bizarre and freaky fetishes out there. I'm not going to link to it because it's not something anyone would want to see (and I don't want it in my search history) but there is live-action porn of women vacuum sealed in airtight bags with tiny holes over their mouth for them to breathe through.

These are fully clothed women, mind you. There is absolutely nothing sexual about it, but it's a thing people masturbate to, and it's made with actual real people, which makes it so much worse.

Everyone, I present to you JohnFaa:

Quite Gaga in fact posted:

Just Dance, mon amour; nobody can see your Poker Face like I can.

"Eh, Eh" (Nothing Else I Can Say, uncomfortable in this pub. You smile at me warmly nonetheless).

Down in a table by the entrance, some girls are talking, and motioning some empty bottles; some kind of Love Game, you say. My curiousity wanes as their monotony waxes. A guy looks at me, smirking in a devilish way, a stalker of sorts. Should I ever attract a Paparazzi, I will hide knives just in case.

I should not be such a target anyway; its not like I am Beautiful, Dirty, Rich. The Fame is just something I cannot reach, and I am throughly ambivalent towards it. I am quite social awkward, and yet I am an attention whore. There's also the Money, Honey, although I seriously doubt even a great writer can survive being exclusively a novelsmith. And I am doing screenwriting for now anyway. I ask for more martinis, Again, Again.

I recall when I met you, in the black sands of the Azores; you were quite the Summerboy, enjoying your freedom to your maximum. I hope to not be a cage to your fragile wings, my dear albatross, because that is a fear I have about love as a concept; the habringer of warm kisses can becoming enslaving. We were both so drawn to each other like dark moths to white fire, sacrificing for the first time our hedonism in name of another human being.

So drawn we were indeed; I recall our seperation of the physical realm to the point of being snapped into reality by your mother screaming, multiple times, "Boys! Boys! BOYS!!!!", like we were in a classroom as kids with the teacher screaming the exact same word.

Your Brown Eyes (just like mine, although the green undertone isn't there) shine a concerned light to me. I smile with a pathetic face, perhaps beginning to get drunk, thus I decide to quit drinking more martinis. We kiss passionately, your lips bruising mine; I don't think I Like It Rough, but you do enjoy it that way, so our lips end you sanguine red, as if we used lipstick. I raise my hand, resting it on the top of your head, my fingers passing through the golden hair softly.

We go to your place, not without some difficulty thanks to my slightly drunk state. I am sufficiently aware to think decently, but my balance is quite off; you help me with your strong shoulders. I recall a friend of mine, Alejandro, who was quite the beefcake source now, having kept his muscular frame far better than I have. He had several rather unfortunate relationships with both men and women; his life became like a particularly Bad Romance, filled with angst. Not that I myself didn't had reasons to complain about my past love life, but I, the millitant introvert, preffered to keep them to myself.

My Teeth felt like they needed to be cleaned, so I picked a mint gum, the last one in my possession for the moment, thanks to my psychological need to keep my mouth as clean as possible. I don't think I'd ever be a good drug addict, since my teeth seem to outright speak to me when they need to be cleaned. I hope I am not turning into some sort of insane Monster (yes, I'm paranoid like that), but at least my mouth was healthy.

We go to your bedroom; the house Telephone was rings, but we do not care. It could wait for tomorrow. Our "Dance In The Dark" occurs, almost literally because the room was already dark when we came in. By the afterglow, we cuddle, sleeping together for the first time in months. Tears of happiness run down my cheeks, I being So Happy I Could Die, thanks to my emotional state derived from drinking.

***

I wake up with a hangover, thankfully less intense than I expected. You still sleep, so I carefully prepare myself to leave. I kiss your head goodbye.

My Hair is in the rat-nest "hairstyle", but I don't particularly care; I like the contrast with my ridiculously formal clothes. I drive out of town, a true Highway Unicorn, the Road To Love hopefully already passed through. I am a Heavy Metal Lover, and I have many discs to prove that. I pass near an Eletric Chapel, now waning in popularity, a symbol of hope in this rotten world. I am sadistic enough to graffiti the chapel with praises of Judas and Bloody Mary. For too long have I been an almost literal Government Hooker, my job only being secured in this christian country by degrading my sexuality to hypocrital politics.

Now, they are gone. The "extremismo Americano" has caused its self-destruction as people opened their eyes, and I could at last afford to have my freedom and my love back. I thank Black Jesus, Amen; Fashion Of His Love has made peace and freedom reach their long awaited reconciliation.

"Scheiße!"

I quickly turn my car; some Bad Kids can't bother to have consideration for drivers. I, however, am not mad at them; I know them, and we provided confort to each other when the tempest was in its most horrid apex. Another person to thank is The Queen; her troops ended up, amusingly enough, providing hope to the boys in the marital department. It seemed like an awfully bad yaoi fanfic come true.

My cellphone rings. A smile decorates my features.

"You could've at least woken me up!" you pout.

"This is precisely why I didn't do that, you constantly pissed off bitch" I say, trying to be calm but almost on the verge of cackling.

"You're such a mean fucker."

"No, we are, Yoü and I. You don't know how much I missed these mornings."

"Yeah, about that, I want to solve our long distance problem. I don't want to be alone for so long ever again."

"Baby, if I have to kill to prevent something like that to happen ever again, consider my rear end raped in prison."

"Aw, I don't want you to be used by anyone else."

"Sacrifices for the greater good, sweetheart."

I stop the car in a gas station; I forget about what I was going to do, because your capacity to draw my moth wings to their blazing doom is still as strong as ever. I am more than happy to converse alone, so when you decide to meet me I am at The Edge Of Glory. It reminds me of skipping classes, only this time the stakes are lower and the reward is much higher. Every sunset I Marry The Night, an ultimately unhappy marriage because I fail to find anything to occupy the void of your absence. But this night, it will be difference.

I try my luck to propose a much more satisfactory wedding.

Y'know what makes for good reading? Awkwardly jamming in as many song names as you possibly can.
