ChampionElcid's Writing Commissions
My friend, creative and fanfiction writer, ChampionElCid has opened writing commissions to anyone interested. I hope you're able to support him with a commission. They specialize in various forms of writing, including short story and fanfiction.
They are well known for writing "The Owl and The Frog": a Owl HousexAmphiba crossover fanfiction. A crossover built on the love and respect for both shows which I have read and reviewed. ChampionElcid has written other fanfictions in addition to poetry. They hope to branch out with their creative writing skills outside of fanfiction. As a writer, ChampionElcid is respectful, honest, encouraging, and receptive artist open to communication and creativity.
I can attest to their creative talent since they wrote a short story for me involving my ocs. ChampionElcid wrote an engaging story that respectfully depicted my ocs and created an exciting narrative. When making edits, ChampionElcid and I exchanged numerous feedback as we reviewed the story. The communication and feedback we shared was motivating and made the short story a fun creative project. Furthermore, ChampionElcid is an encouraging friend who would motivate you to stay or be more creative.
If you're looking to have your story told or your ocs brought into the writing spotlight, I strongly suggest and encourage you to reach out to ChampionElCid. "The Twinbucks Masquerade Ball Heist" short story that featured my Sickle Smile Girls ocs was a major writing project that came together wonderfully thanks to ChampionElcid's writing. Writing that draws you into a creative well and brings out the imagination.
This post is for a great chef whom I've had the honor to work with. Due to cancer complications, Chef Andrew had to resigned and focus on his recovery. I share this post because I hope to support him through his challenging condition. I hope you take time to read his story through the link shared here and donate if you can.
Chef Andrew has been a great person to work with whether he's in charge of a banquet or expoing on the restaurant side. He inspired perseverance and dedication to culinary quality despite fighting with cancer everyday. I hope that his health and well-being continues to improve since his resignation. By sharing this post, I hope that you can donate to the gofundme page set to help ease his medical expenses, so he can take time for his recovery.

Finding other art outlets
It's becoming more discouraging to say the least to stay on DA with every update that pushes more artists away than it attracts. Personally, it was easier than to read fan comics back when I first signed up here. NSFW art remains relatively the same despite the latest restrictions and pay. Core just has more features which aren't suited to me as it might be to others.
It's becoming a real mess with everything.
I'm not a great artist obviously. I would hate for my art to be stolen if it hasn't been already. Now, AI is going to possibly take my art and leave it uncredited. I apologize for my lack of understanding. I'm just going off what I've read and what I know.
I'm still staying on DA although more cautiously with any new art I post.
If you can, anybody, send me some other alternative sites where I can post my art.
I already have twitter and tumblr. Both of which I need to configure. I'll share my links later.
**Making this review more of an appreciation posting. Sure every work has flaws, but I'm not here to point them out.
"What is an ending?" is what motivated me to write a review after I watched the final episodes of Steven Universe: Future. An open opportunity of infinite variables and personal choices. A new beginning in the aftermath. A window with a view that doesn't fade to black, but white. So many answers. I'm always scared of or nervous about finishing a series for a tv show or book or something similar. The uncertainty in the aftermath or the emotional toil that last for a long time. Sometimes forever when it's something unforgettable. However, acceptance and gratitude is what fans, myself included, can realize and do in the long run when good things end. Not forgetting that rewatching a series is an option. The stories that surpass their audience's expectations is truly an inspiring development. The most powerful ones hit me with great precision of emotions. My audience of emotions as they took in the episodes were all deeply affected. The loudest emotion cried for many reasons. One of those reasons: love. I'm grateful to have felt that. I'm still feeling emotional.
I wasn't there at the beginning of Steven Universe. I wasn't sure of it around its beginning; I find myself late joining on various shows and fan-wagons. 2017 is when I decided Steven Universe would be worth watching. I've hopped around episodes and I still need to watch the series in its entirety. "Flexibility, love, and trust": three words of a powerful mantra and in a song perfectly titled "Just a Thought". My heart beats loudly under distress, and "Just a Thought" helps calm me down whenever I listen to it. Steven Universe has masterfully incorporated numerous themes that resonate socially and personally. Individualism, emotional validation, independence, and other themes bring us altogether in both the fandom and real life.
While there were inevitable mysteries, unanswered questions, or scenes that didn't come alive as I or the rest of the fandom have hoped, Steven Universe: Future certainly gave the audience direction to how far everyone has come since their parts in the story. Laughter, tears, angst, love, etc. made Steven Universe more than just a show. When you consider the effort and work put into the show, the crewniverse really gave their hearts, creativity, and love into a story that started with ice cream, three alien rock moms, and a young boy discovering his powers.
Of course an ending is usually bittersweet. It's how "happily ever after" can be established, the fans writing their fanfiction explode (by writing what comes after the canon), and the mortality of a medium is realized. An ending is inevitable; it wasn't like the ending of Steven Universe or its Future weren't expected. Let's gather together at this moment and say thank you to Rebecca Sugar.
Thank you for the story and songs of Steven Universe, the animation, and bringing talented people together to make your series come alive. Whatever comes next, may the best of creativity and fortune come your way.
As the ending credits rolled by, I couldn't help think there was something else. A short text saying, "As Steven Universe made his way into the future, the love of his friends and family would always follow him. Most importantly, the love of the crystal gems".
Thank you for reading this.
<3 Thank you Steven Universe, Pearl, Ameythst, and Garnet. Thank you Greg and Connie for the unshakeable loving support you give to Steven. Thank you to the rest of the cast. <3
