Several years ago I was just starting to get into the anime world. A lot of things were very new to me including yaoi. Many of my friends and I decided it was gross because basically, it was new and therefor weird. I decided to make a stamp here on deviant saying "I'm allergic to yaoi" om-nom-nomnivore.deviantart.co…. This stamp quickly became popular and currently has the most comments and favorites of ANYTHING in my entire gallery.
Since then, me and my friends have obviously matured a lot. Many of my friends who originally despised yaoi started to read it themselves. I have met many nice people who are homosexual and have absolutely noting against any of it. I simply didn't understand it when I was younger. I then edited the stamp's comments, saying that I now had nothing against any homosexuality, but only against when people depict two heterosexual characters together romantically in fan yaoi art or writing. But now, I've realized that I don't even believe in that any more. I'm perfectly fine with people shipping and or drawing whatever they want! I used to think that it offended the original story and creators, but that's up to them weather they're offended by it, not mine. There will always be ships that i don't agree with, and ships that I do. The genders of the characters in the pairings should make no difference!
Lately, this stamp that I posted years ago is still getting favorites and comments. Some of them are people saying that they agree with the stamp, and others hating on the stamp. I'm shocked that after years in my gallery, this stamp still gets new comments. With every comment I've been writing to people about the change in my views, but I'm now just tired of this stamp existing at all. Not only is it a symbol of my ignorance as a young teen, but others use it on their pages to spread the ignorance. If people don't like yaoi, then they still shouldn't be hating on others for it. People can choose what to like or dislike, that's perfectly fine. I just don't want people to be using my stamp for a view I no-longer support. There are a lot of hateful anti-yaoi stamps out there, and I don't want mine to be one of them which is why I'm removing this stamp!
The only reason I've kept this stamp around for so long is because it is the most popular thing in my entire gallery. Out of my 372 works, this simple stamp with views I don't agree with is the most popular... I've always been kind of offended by that. I kept it around because it did give me more page views and favorites, but I'm fed up with that now!
I want to get rid of this stamp, but I think rather than deleting it, I'll replace it with something else.

Wow, it's been a long time!
Well, I haven't posted anything in nearly a year, but I do still come on here to support friends and follow other artists. One of the reasons I haven't posted anything is time, but another is that I need a more professional place to display my art, as I'm almost graduated from college with a major in Studio Art and a minor in Biology. I can't exactly direct employers to my deviantart site, so I'm looking for something better. Also, I never had an especially large following on here, save for people that I know in real life and a few close internet friends. I may still use deviant art for following other artists, a

It's been a while. I've been so bust with college and other things that I haven't gotten much time to spend on DA. I have done art over the past semesters, but most of my time has been spent on art for classes.
This spring I took a figure drawing class and learned a lot! I'll be posting some of the drawings on here, but not any of the ones from actual nude models since I didn't get the consent of the models. For class we had to draw people every day, from life, for an hour. This proved to be really difficult! It became really hard to put in that much time and to find that much inspiration. Usually I sat in the library and drew unsuspecti

Back from art class!
Hi all. I've been kinda inactive on here recently due to being in an art class for the past month.
I'll hopefully post some things that I'm proud of from that class soon. We went over a lot of basics, so it was kinda tedious, but I feel like I did learn some things. I don't think I've ever been so busy with a college class though! I spent an average of about 5-6 hours on it. It was an entire semesters worth of work cramped down into one month! D: The best part is I took the class with one of my best friends so that made it all worth while! :)
Because of this class I haven't had barely any time to do personal art. The pokemon challenge had

To be fair, if the yaoi community and the gay (or at least gay male) were a Venn diagram, they'd basically be two separate circles. It's much more women sexually objectifying men (gay and straight) than it is gay men expressing their sexuality.
