BACK AFTER OVER A YEAR? DEAR ME...

Sadly, I'm not really coming back. Due to some of the copyright issues dA has, I don't feel comfortable sharing my art here anymore, as I'm to be making a career out of my artwork in the near future.

However...

I will still be uploading my artwork online to Tumblr! I've created a new art blog so that people don't have to dig through all my goofy ramblings and gross bawling over OTPs and such to see my work! So I wanted to share the link with you all in case anyone is still interested in seeing my art! (I have improved quite a bit since becoming an art major!)

So here it is: drawwikbmnc.tumblr.com/

And if you ARE interested in my ramblings and gross sobbing like I did in my journals in the past, you can find me at my main account: bloomacncheez.tumblr.com/

This should be my last post here, though I will keep this account so I can keep in contact with people here in necessary.

Thank you for the great years, deviantART. This was truly a place I felt happy in my teenage years, and I have you to thank for that.

See you around!

Love, BMNC

[EDIT]: Also!! Thank you for all the birthday wishes! //^//^// They truly meant a lot~!

OOF

This year has had a really weird start for me. Pretty decent mix of highs and lows.

Lows:
Got a new dentist, which is fine, he's really nice, but he's a little pickier about things than my last one, so I apparently have a cavity that has to get filled in April. And it had nothing to do with what I eat or how I take care of my teeth, my teeth just have weird crevices.
My favorite convention was put in a hotel where everyone is grumpy and strict as hell (they don't let you get in line until 30 minutes before things start and we got "kicked out of our spots" a couple of times which got us stuck way far back), plus I missed out on one of my favorite VAs panels because the fucking autograph line I was in didn't move for almost three hours. (And then FB and I got barked at by a con-goer's mom because the people behind us left, and she thought we cut in line)
Pharos died a few weeks ago (Sent me into a dark place for awhile, but I'm choosing not to talk about it much here for perfectly justified reasons.)
I'm trying to find a new fish and can't make myself like any, even though they're ridiculously gorgeous.
This means I'm like REALLY alone in my dorm now.
My phone decided to be an asshole during the start of my new semester and caused me to miss a majorly important first class meeting as well as run late for another (I got the issue fixed but it doesn't make up for the stress)
All of my classes this semester suck. All of them. I don't enjoy one for one reason or another.
My paranoia has me not wanting to do anything on Tumblr because there was a virus going around, and I can't get any updates about where we are regarding this, and this is a crappy time because I finally got two popular text posts and I'm getting a decent amount of followers as result.
We finally got snow, and got a day and a half worth of classes cancelled, but it also cancelled anime club, and then I got really sick because of the snow, missed a class, and didn't get to spend the weekend recovering because I had two projects due the following week.

Highs:
NEW COMPUTER SCREEN THAT DOESN'T SUCK
Hey! They're getting back all the stuff I love that was discontinued! They brought back my favorite Pop Tarts, rice crackers, and Valentine's Day pita chips, and also are selling my favorite pencils with the light blue ones again!
Good year for fandoms! I don't really belong solely to one right now since they've all got good stuff coming this year. I think Attack on Titan's new season is on its way, the Tiger and Bunny movie is coming to US theaters, Persona's getting four new games in less than 20 months (HEEEEEEELLLLLLLL YEAHHH), I just joined the Free!dom and everything is really exciting because Season Two was confirmed and since we're still a fairly new fandom we have TONS of stuff still coming out, The Walking Dead Game Season TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, The Wolf Among Us, and DanganRonpa~!
I've learned my true shipping capacity, which is apparently violent and makes me want to constantly throw myself from the window because my new OTP is actually ruining my life (and yet this is a good point. I think.) _{It's Reigisa from Free! in case you were wondering.}
Even though I'm hella broke as a result, I have a bunch of new plushies, which is great because I need a lot of hugs right now and having plushies is a really good way to deal with the lack of.
HEY WE ACTUALLY GOT SNOW TO CANCEL CLASSES THIS YEAR, HELL YEAH
Everything we're watching in anime club is actually great and I don't find myself disliking any of them!
MY TUMBLR FINALLY GOT FIXED SO I CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO MY FRIENDS AND PEOPLE I IDOLIZE AND MEET NEW FOLLOWERS THROUGH TAGGING THINGS OH MY GOD??? FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVERRRRRRRR~ I CAN BE NOTICED BY SOMEONE. (And the Free! fandom seems to like me, which is really exciting because I feel like I suck at most fandoms.)

So yeah. Hopefully I can have some more positives this year because I'm not dealing with lows too well this year.

LITTLE LATE SORRY

I hope everyone's holidays went very well. c: Mine's been pretty good this year so far. Most of my school stress is long-gone now, so
I'll be refreshed when I have to start back in a couple of weeks. Pharos started eating again a few days after I brought him home, so he's doing much better, making bubble nests and jumping out of the water for food. I was worried about him for awhile there. I about died over Season Two of TWD game a week ago, but I managed to survive it. (Seriously, though, that was the most stressful two hours of gaming I've ever experienced because my game decides that even when you're hitting the button, it won't take the action, even though the game recognizes you're hitting it, so I got Clementine killed about ten times and it was awful.)

I'm going to visit my grandparents, uncle, aunts, and cousins tomorrow until Monday, so I probably won't be on much during the day (like that's much different from now but idk) It's gonna be interesting... When I'm around this particular combination of family members, I get ignored for the duration of the visit so I might be a little bit of a mess. Plus I'm not really happy about going because apparently a certain family member said something to my mother about needing to put me on medication for my "depression" (I say this lightly because it hasn't been medically diagnosed, but my mom has it and I exhibit the same pattern of symptoms so it wouldn't shock me if it were true, but I don't know) and when my mother tried to argue that I'm 20 years old and can make decisions for myself about getting on medication, the certain family member said that maybe it shouldn't be up to me and I should basically be forced onto it. Funny thing is, their assumption comes from my "dark" Facebook posts (usually because I post most of my stuff on Tumblr where I can express my feelings how I want without censoring myself or worrying that my family won't understand I'm talking to my friends about a fandom and say dumb embarrassing stuff) and my lack of wanting to talk to them, when in reality I'm doing okay on my own, I'm just pissed at this person for embarrassing me in front of my friends on a regular basis. So because I know this now, I'm going to want to be around them even less because I don't want to deal with this shitty drama. I'm hoping I'll be able to hang out with my cousin since we used to be pretty close, but we've grown apart in the past several years and we have pretty different interests. We'll just have to see how it all plays out...

CHRISTMAS HAUL

Well, to get myself off the negatives, I'll list off some of my treasures from 2013 so far:

The Walking Dead for the Vita (Touch Screen option sucks, tbh, because of the camera)
Blood-C: The Complete Series
Wolf Children (I'm so excited!! This was the only gift I knew I was getting and I've heard good things about it!)
Persona3: Reincarnation CD
Persona3FES OST
Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena OST
To The Moon for the PC (complete with the OST)
Kotetsu T. Kaburagi mini-plush
The Sims 3: High-End Loft
Butterfly bag clips
My Little Pony temporary tattoo finger puppet things
Grey's Anatomy: The Video Game (I saw this at the store for $8 the other day and it sounded awful and hilarious, so I asked for it casually and walked off. Gotta admit I was surprised to get it, but I'm happy I did because I'm about to fuck up some surgeries and piss off my favorite characters via "intensified" dramatic dialogue options bahaha I hope I can run around the hospital and do goofy dances with Richard in his office because that would make this so perfect)
A houndstooth sweater
iTunes gift card
Texting gloves
Vanilla-scented body wash and lip gloss
Long-sleeved pink shirt with Christmas tree socks
And, to my relief, a new car radio with all of the old CDs I had in my previous one
(No, you don't understand what this means to me, my car radio broke at the beginning of the school year and wouldn't eject or play any of the CDs. I didn't care about 4 of them since they were burned, but my favorite autographed Vic Mignogna CD was in there along with my Persona 4 Golden OST. I wanted to cry. It's been a long time since I've had them and I'm so relieved I didn't have to lose them with the radio. I was also worried the new radio would be sticking out and look shitty and cheap in my car, but it looks REALLY nice and hooks up with my phone, and if you don't think I spent Christmas morning in my car playing the Pokemon theme and other songs from my phone you are WRONG, I don't care that it doesn't hold 6 CDs IT PLAYS MY PHONE YO AAAA)

The only thing I'm still hoping I can get is a new computer monitor from my grandparents, because the one I have now is the reason I haven't touched my PC in awhile. If I don't get one for Christmas, it's okay, but I'm gonna go buy myself one because UGH I cannot deal with spending 10 minutes just plugging and unplugging my screen until it decides to work, it's just awful. Like, the screen itself is nice once it starts working, but it's more trouble than its worth anymore. I mean, it started doing that creepy white-screen thing when I turn it off two years ago, but now it's an ordeal and a half just getting the thing to turn on and I spend my mornings spewing more profanities than healthy. My parents gave the idea to my grandparents, and my grandpa's pretty good at picking out good electronics and things, so I'm hopeful for one less thing to stress over. Luckily, the one I saw the other day wasn't too pricey, so if I don't get one for Christmas, I can still get one for a good deal.

CONVENTION

I've also got a convention coming up pretty soon, so I'm gonna keep an eye out for the Persona plushies because Kanji and Naoto were always ridiculously more expensive but now they're gone. I'm holding out on them and Chie and Yukiko, hoping they'll show at this con and hopefully cheaper than online, but this kind of thing has backfired on me in the past where they either don't have the thing, or they do have it but more expensive than online, but when I go back online, the people who bought them at cons start selling them for even more than they were at the con and then it would have been better to buy them while I was there. So idk but I'm crossing my fingers. Also, new Teddie charms and anything P3. And SnK. I need to watch Madoka and Free! still so I can search for that stuff too. Ahh so excited x3

Only part that sucks is I gotta go back to school that week, so I have to miss the first day (which isn't usually all that exciting anyway, but the weekend pass is hella expensive and I busted my ass on a less-than-minimum-wage job over the summer for those tips sooooo I kiiiiiinda wanna make use of my money...)

idk

It's almost 2:30AM and I gotta get up in the morning to get in the car for a bit of a drive to something potentially stressful, so...

Happy Holidays, everyone, and I wish you all well.

USING MY SKILLS

I learned how to animate in Adobe After Effects and this was the first thing I did with that knowledge outside of school:

bloomacncheez.tumblr.com/post/…

People probably shouldn't trust me with a tablet.

HELLO ALL ;;;;

Did you miss? _{Probably not, everybody's on Tumblr now, myself included...}

I'm sorry, I should really be more active here as an art major. Honestly though, I don't have access to a scanner right now so I can't really upload anything, though I really want to because I've been drawing a lot lately, especially for Mahou no Kage. This year has been a helpful learning experience as far as digital stuff and anatomical references go, so my art's gradually improving bit by bit. If only I were more motivated. *currently procrastinating her finals*

QUICK CATCH-UP

Okay, so here's all the stuff BMNC's been up to:
Anxiety attacks are starting back up for the first time since I was 12
After I moved out of my dorm, the housing people went to check my room and make sure I was all moved out and stuff and found a beer can (I'm 800% sure it was my roommate's because she had a 12-pack of the same beer under her bed that they managed to miss) but they didn't know whose it was so they wrote up all four of us, so I have underage possession of alcohol on my housing record now :\
I finally got so overwhelmed by the semester that I had to drop my Art History class and now I'm making absurd detours in the Art building to avoid my teacher
PERSONAPERSONAPERSONAPERSONAAAAA (YES FOUR TIMES WAS NECESSARY BECAUSE THERE ARE FOUR NEW GAMES COMING IN THE NEXT 20 MONTHS)
Cuticle Detective Inaba and Shingeki no Kyojin are two new fandoms I'm part of, and I'm making plans to watch Free! and Madoka Magica (Magika?) this Christmas break
I'm #TeamX for Pokemon, my team is awesome and I still haven't found a Shiny after two months but all my friends have
I have plushies of Souji, Yosuke, Human!Teddie, Rise, and Nanako now
I'm worried about Pharos because he hasn't eaten in over a week, and they say betas sometimes stop eating for awhile for some reason and they can go a month without food but I'm worried about my baby :c
Turns out I love working with pastels
Turns out Wet Ones are the best things for getting pastel out of your fingers
It's been an hour and I'm still procrastinating
I'm probably going to procrastinate some more
by making milk and honey and then watching Ponyo in front of my might-as-well-be-blank canvas and pretending that counts as working on it
hahaha
*actually dying inside*

MAHOU NO KAGE AND RENDEZVOUS

I realize it's almost been a year for both, but I promise I'm still working on them. I've done a few chapters of MnK, but I'm revising over and over so it's in an edit process, and I'm almost caught-up in re-reading over Rendezvous so I can pick it back up, although I'm cringing at the number of errors I made in the process.

I have nothing else to say, so I should probably work on my final instead of being a lazy loaf of bread D:

Peace~
