Before Getting to the October Announcement, the Admins of Angels-And-Gangstas would like to award a posthumous AWW to MagicalJoey , who has passed away at the age of 31. Jo was incredibly active on DA, collecting points for prizes, being an admin for ten groups, promoting others and being an avid commenter and a stalwart member of the Literature Community. Now, Jo is an angel with real wings. May she rest in peace.

The world is full of angels, who walk about disguised,
Because to show their glory, would ruin the surprise.
They know when you feel sorrow, when you're hurting they can tell,
They daily burn their wings off to rescue you from hell.

They're there when you are lonely, with a kind word and a hug,
And they bring you milk and cookies as they shower you with love.
They fill your holey walls with cotton rags so the wind can't howl right through,
And, even through their struggles, they're always there for you.

They gather all your pieces into a precious jar,
They even get the pieces that have scattered very far,
And once they've e I Am Not SorryI'm Not Sorry
26-05-18

You want me to apologise,
To say I did not mean
A single word I'd written down -
Cos you're upset it seems.

Well, I'm not sorry that I spoke my mind,
That I got it off my chest.
I'm not sorry that your Facebook world,
Now knows what you love best.

I'm not sorry that my words of truth,
Hurt you when they were heard.
The saying goes "the truth, it hurts",
And sticks and stones can't compare to words.

And you've hurled words like missiles,
For over thirty years.
Breaking me down instead of building up,
And feeding my deeply rooted fears.

So, no I won't apologise,
Because I was not rude.
For once I spoke my heart, wit



The AWWs for October 2018

caddman ~ ChasMandala ~ Barosus

caddman suggested by always-mep

I'd like to suggest an AWW for caddman . Skot's super nice to everyone. He gives many of his CraftCrow awards (more than one type) in his comments on many Devs a day, as an encouragement; it's the way I see them when I get them. He definitely does journals supporting other artists...a lot! He's an admin of seven groups. He's been a member here on DeviantArt for 16-years and knows a lot about the site and the community. If that's not supporting other artists, I don't know what is.

Added by Sassy-Cat-Sooo-Catty ~ "Skot is very kind, always personally makes his appearance on your page to thank you when you fave his work and never fails to comment and reply."

ChasMandala suggested by always-mep

Charles is an awesome member of the community. He's very generous and caring, dedicating each and every dev he does to a fellow watchers or to everyone. He's cofounder of two groups. He's done many features in the past; I've noticed his older ones are gone, but I believe that may be due to his almost leaving DA because of a spammer on his account .But he's here and always a wonderful, giving, empathetic person on DA. We could use more of those like him.

Barosus suggested by DanielaIvanova

Edward is a writer and a dreamer and an art appreciator to the core who has personally been a huge motivation and inspiration to me, always supporting my endeavours with enthusiasm and love. At the moment his huge heart, his enthusiasm for art and his selfless and giving nature benefit not just me but a multitude of deviants - be it through supportive or whimsical comments, encouragement or critique on others' work, starting out meaningful conversations or simply by being his quirky and hilarious self. As an artist himself he has done countless reciprocative pieces, which is exactly the kind of community spirit that I've only seen on dA and which sparks such joy in my heart. Over the last 170+ days he has been dilligently running his unique and outstanding Fantasy themed feature of top notch art, that includes works not only from dA but also from Artstation, thus fostering this vital link between the communities. And it's not just his personality that is uplifting and brightening - his art is a treasure chest of quirky characters, passionate poems and an overall hugely imaginative mind that can be an inspiration for us all. I doubt there is a single soul who has brushed against Edward's captivating persona that wasn't touched or inspired by him. He is one of the people whose response and whose activity I am most looking forward to on dA.

Never AlonePlease never forget

No matter how the pain tries to isolate you
No matter how dark your path becomes
No matter how many times little voices
Beg you to and give in and surrender
To just fade away and make it all stop
Even though you may not see me there
Through the blackness of despair

You are not fighting alone!

When you don't feel strong
I will uphold you

When you feel overwhelmed
I will defend you

When you only feel forsaken
I'll be by your side

When you feel lost and afraid
I will always find you

When the tears come flooding
I will be your breakwater

I will never abandon you!

When you feel like you are only wreckage
Drifting o   Llama SpamalotI just got a llama from a guy that loves tater tots. So I said...

Hellos, tasty tater tot dude! Since you are all about the tots, I just have to name your llama "Tina". I promise I'll do my best to feed her ham..... and jam and spam a lot

(breaks into Monty Python show tune bit.... with dancing llamas)

We're knights of the DA table
We are a bit unstable
We’re llama fiends, we do routines
And art whene’er we're able

To Tina in the pasture lot
We feed ham and jam and spam a lot

We're knights of the DA table
Our memes are for-mid-able
We throw down rhymes at any time
Our prowess is no fable

Well do a rif off Spamalot
We thin

A poem from our friend Beverly for all AWW's:

Your heart is worn
on your sleeve adorned
with love and light
your wings take flight...
To all that you touch
you give us so much
of your heart as it sings...
Your an Angel Without Wings!
