Hey everyone,

You read the title right, as of today, I've been on Deviantart for 5 YEARS!!!!!! WOOT!!!!

But anyways, I can't believe it's been 5 years since I've been on DA, it seemed like yesterday I was at :iconbellajuliette: 's house where :iconirishileana: made my account :iconstill-a-fan: , and 5 years later, I'm still drawing. :D

I had many awesome times here on DA and I had a few rough patches here and there, but that's not what I'm going to talk about. I'm not going to make a journal mentioning about my history as it would be boring and would take forever to do. I'm going to make a journal, dedicated to my watchers.

I had many people come by my profile, add my art to their favourites and talk to me once in a while, but the people that really keep me going, is my watchers, they watch me grow, they see my art improve, they talk to me, they help me as much as possible and being awesome watchers. So I'm going to try putting all of my watchers in this journal, if I miss anyone, I do apologize.

First off: :iconirishileana: , if it weren't for her, myself as still-a-fan would have never existed and meeting many awesome people would have never happened. She is an awesome person to talk to and she has a lot of energy and very positive.

:iconartistic-honda: and :iconrandom-artist-200: are in fact my sisters and they are very awesome sisters, they always helped me out, we had many awesome and of course funny moments. My older sister :iconartistic-honda: is hardly on anymore as she has an awesome family to take care of (but hopefully she'll be on soon so she can say hi to all of you). My younger sister :iconrandom-artist-200: , is usually on and she is a great person to talk to, please stop by their pages and say hi to them. :D

My friends in real life: :iconkinomoto-nade: (my very awesome best friend)  :iconbellajuliette: (another best friend)  , :iconirishileana: (mentioning her again because why not), :iconclars1122: (and another best friend :D) , :iconneeterhime: , :iconskyknightsora: (another, best friend again :D ) , :iconredrobinray: (another awesome friend :D ) ,  :iconhalolux: ,  :iconart-lover202: (more like my sister's friend) , :iconlennyboola: and :iconsully-chan: , they have always supported me even outside of DA and I can always count on them with anything. 

My cousin and possibly my biggest fan :iconsuper-fire-mario: , he's a great person to talk to and a very awesome gamer. If anyone wants to challenge him with video games, he's there and ready to play. 

:icon1230james: (I had to mention you somehow :iconhoborapefaceplz: ), I had so many interesting, funny and great conversations with him. Great person to talk to. XD

:icongaaraxeraxmatsuri: , :icongigabowser64: , :iconkronosprincess: , :iconyarasworld: , :iconcrystalazimuth: , :iconmaklods: , :iconmagicdetective: , :iconmagenta-fantasies: , :iconbigmac1212: and :iconnatalia-clark: , when it comes to faving my art, every one of these people are the ones that fav a lot of my art. I really appreciate what these people did for me. Also very great people to talk to, they talk about anything and the conversations are always interesting. :)

:icondingosnivysprint12: , :iconhoneygoddess57: , :iconhistoriangirl: ,  :iconnin-droid: , :iconlegends-and-charms: , :iconmothy67: , :iconriderrhix: , :iconrosie-chan17: , :iconkneestocking96: , :iconpdfletcher: , :iconsquishystars: , :iconavenger5445: , and :iconkevfilms2x2: ; a few of these watchers went into the same situation I went through a few months ago (and you guys probably know what I'm referring to) and no matter what, these are the people that stood up for others when they're in trouble, although a few of them didn't go through the same situation some of us went through, they still stood up for their friends. I recommend people to watch them because they're awesome people to talk to and they always stand up for their friends. 

:icondraw-heroine: , the last time I wrote a journal about her, there was some rude comments that were made in that journal (don't worry, nothing about her), I was trying to advertise her Youtube account as she made a walkthrough for the game "Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights" , it was really upsetting that an argument was made in that journal as it was nothing related to the journal I made. So I'm going to advertise her Youtube account again and hoping that no arguments will be made in this journal. But anyways, her walkthrough for Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is officially completed now and she also did another walkthrough for Chaotic Shadow Warrior (also completed?), so if you're stuck in either of these games and you want to know how to solve the game, be best to go to her Youtube account, the link will be provided below, please subscribe her Youtube account, she's an awesome person to talk to and we hope to see more walkthroughs from her soon. :)

:iconcoolkirbyart: , I can say a lot about CoolKirbyArt because CoolKirbyArt is a very kind person and is one of those people who I really enjoy talking to. CoolKirbyArt talks to anyone and is very positive. Although we haven't met in real life, all I can say is, CoolKirbyArt will always be one of my best DA friends here. :D

Some of the requesters have already been mentioned such as :iconcrystalazimuth::iconkronosprincess: and :iconyarasworld: , but there are other requesters that I would like to mention: :iconhillygon: , :icondumbass333: , :icontellytoon: , :iconnightsandsonic: ,  :iconlooneytunerian: , :iconcanarybirdz: , :iconeddsworldfangirl97: , :iconmilliardpeacecraft: ,  :iconviobliterator: , :iconbrotherlyfluff: , :icongreenflaringdog: , :iconnoelombaxprincess: , :iconcoolcsd1986: , :iconneoduelgx: , :iconhedgey: , :iconalex369: and :iconmversedfender: , (if you asked for a request but weren't mentioned in this list, please comment below) are the people that keep me going, it's always great to receive requests from them and I'm always excited to hear about the different requests (btw, if anyone is wondering about their requests, don't worry, it's still be worked on :) ). 

:iconmessyartwok: , I never met a person that makes amazing fan fiction about Transformers until I met OpGirl106. I have to admit back in the day, I rarely read any fan fictions unless a friend made it. That all changed when I first encountered OpGirl106, I found one of her stories ("I'll always be there" which is based on Transformers Prime) and I loved it. The stories she writes are amazing and I hope she keeps it up, she's an awesome person to talk to and she's always happy to talk to anyone. Btw, :iconmessyartwok: , if you're reading this, Hotel Hell is going to be on soon so we'll see your hometown pretty soon. XP

... Back on Topic ...

:iconroninhunt0987: always keeps us up to date when it comes to world news, many people appreciate his updates. He's also been one of my long time watchers and a very nice person to talk to. 

:iconivan-elterrible: is usually the person that gives out great advice, any advice he makes is always appreciated. We have many great and interesting conversations and I hope we have more great conversations in the future. 

:iconmib245: is the person that also makes great conversations, we may have those disagreements once in a while but we pretty much agree with anything. He's also another person to talk to and when comes to movie reviews, he's the one to talk to. 

:iconarciite: is the person with amazing conversations, we talk about school and pretty much life which to be honest, it's great to have personal conversations with her and I hope to have those kind of conversations with her in the future. She's a very nice person to talk to and recommend people to talk to her. 

:iconmetylover2143: , she has the most random journals made, although her conversations is short, she is still a great person to talk to and she's always happy to talk to anyone. :)

:iconmarieangel04: and :iconglitchyluka: , although we faced some challenges along the way, they still stayed strong no matter what happened. They're great people to talk to, there may be disagreements with some people (and don't worry, I'm not going to mention anything about those situations, the past is the past) and they're really nice people and I highly recommend you to talk to them. 

:icongemslendermansproxy: is another awesome person to talk to and I'm always happy to talk to her as well. (Btw, I do apologize about me not getting to your birthday gift on time, but just to make it up, you can have a request, the decision of the request is up to you :) ). 

:iconmagenta-fantasies: , I can say a lot about her as she is a very nice person to talk to and also makes awesome fan fiction as shown in her recent Doctor Lautrec fan fiction. I hope to see more fan fiction from magenta-fantasies soon. :)

:iconphantomofdestiny: is probably one of the nicest people to talk to. She always tries helping people out when they're in trouble or in need of advice. She's planning to become a volunteer for DA and help people as much as possible. (I wish there is more people like her out there). I hope she succeeds on getting the job as I think she'll do an amazing job. 

:iconizzy-the-hedgehog: and :iconmarta91: , although we hardly talk anymore due to other commitments, they're still great people to talk to, when we do talk, we have many great conversations, both of them are nice people and I recommend people to watch them. When you two come back on, feel free to talk to me anytime. :)

:iconpowerkidzforever: is an awesome person to talk to, I'm always to happy to talk to powerkidzforever, and I hope we have many more awesome conversations in the future.

:iconmegaawesomezx: , the username says all. This person is definitely, all the way awesome. I was mentioned in megaawesomezx's journals a couple times already and because of megaawesomezx, I gained a few watchers. If it weren't for megaawesomezx, I probably wouldn't get as many watchers as I do now. Now to make it up, everyone please go onto megaawesomezx's page and watch megaawesomezx. Megaawesomezx deserves watchers and I highly recommend people to watch megaawesomezx. 

:iconjackspicerchase: , you're an awesome person and you have an awesome art style, keep up the great work and btw, if it weren't for you and some of your friends, I would have never became a fan of the Doctor Lautrec, so I want to say thank you. :)

:iconprivateskittles285: is another best DA friend here as well, he was one of those people that started watching my art from the beginning and I'm always happy to talk to him. 

And now to my remaining watchers, these are the ones that watched me for many years or just started watching me, it's great to have support from these people, some of these people asked me for awesome requests and some of them I've talked to and had many great conversations, and I hope to talk to all of you soon, so here they are:

I highly recommend watching these people as they all have amazing art styles, they're awesome people and they're always supportive in anyone's decisions.

So to everyone here on DA, thank you for being with me during the past 5 years being here. I had so many awesome times and I hope to see more for many years to come. Hope to talk to you all soon and have a great summer everyone! :hug:

Congratulations on five years on DA! I'm so touched that you mentioned me, and I'm glad you like my fanfiction! :love: Have you read any of my other stories?

Interestingly, this journal didn't show up in "Mentions" in my messages, so I only found it now.
