Description Woohoo random G-T spammage for joo!
Title mainly because I was listening to the song "This is Home" by Switchfoot, which really describes my whole G-T/dA experience. You should definitely listen to it, especially if you want to get the whole feel to this picture. ^w^ Even though I spent only like, 2 minutes on the background, it's a very personal... sketch thingy. The place in the picture is real; a flower filled field behind a school near my house. Countless times my best friend, little sister, and I would hunt for faeries in the woods right next to the field, or just fall asleep in the sunshine. I always feel so at home there, as I do here on dA, in this loverly G-T community where I really feel like I can belong, and be myself.

Anyway, 'twas drawn during OGT's (Ohio Graduation Tests) after I finished, and GEEZ was I tired! XD So I just drew myself sleeping since I couldn't actually sleep.

I can relate

There's a long, hilly, street going next to my house, that during the fall, provides that exact feeling of just... childhood.

Yea, I still remember the first time I started actually visiting this community, and going on the chatrooms and stuff, it felt amazing, cause' even with my regular account (which I made a bit ago) I was never REALLY partaking in any devArt communities. But what I found here is just something amazing, it really feels different then any other place I've been to (which is a LOT of places, real and forums.)

I love you guys, and that's for the G/T as well as everyone around.

GTPanda In reply to Bluetide [2011-03-20 02:47:34 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh, it sounds wonderful

Yea, this community seems like such a family. And I remember feeling like such a meek, quiet admirer of it all, and now, it's my second home! There's so much love, and lack of drama. ^w^

Heeheee, same here!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Bluetide In reply to GTPanda [2011-03-20 02:58:40 +0000 UTC]

Oh yea, that's the great part, absolutely no drama (unless it's RP, in which case the more the merrier )

I was never exactly meek, I was just choosing not to take part cause' I just didn't want to get involved with even moar communities, since every single one has ended up as a hate-filled funfest of spam and trolls.

And I'll be honest, from the outside, this place looked like it was gonna be loaded with it.

But it wasn't, so everybody wins!

GTPanda In reply to Bluetide [2011-03-20 03:07:25 +0000 UTC]

Rp drama is the best kind! 8D (since it's pretend of course )

I was a bit shy, especially since for a while I was watching the GT community from afar (from my other account) since I didn't want my IRL friends to know about my GT obsession.
Trolls are such... funsponges. They just suck up all the fun then squeeze icky troll-meanness-water on your head. <8C

Wahoo!

Bluetide In reply to GTPanda [2011-03-20 03:31:27 +0000 UTC]

Yea, I kind of went right from the get go to an alt, I didn't want ANY traces whatsoever to my regular account. I get paranoid about people just tracing everything to my real account and then telling it to everyone they know :C

Anyways, about Trolls, if I see one, I try to stuff it under it's designated bridge again, who let them out of their posts/cages anyways?

w00t!

Aww, This is so sweet! You're really taking a liking to "adapting music to visual art." This is such a wonderful scene, it looks so comfortable... and I love the detail you put into the tail.

I agree dA is my home too.

I love these magic places. I also had a little forest near my home where I would climb trees with my friends. I also remember us collecting all kind of leafes and berries and create 'magic potions'. Of course we never drank/ ate them. My specialty was a special shrinking potion >

I remember doing things like that! 8D We used to play magic school, and I always taught about mythological creatures. For wands we used chopsticks!
Heehee, of course! It's only natural that you'd make the best shrinking potion in the land. ;D
