Features!Hello everyone! Hope everything has been well for all of you! Just wanted to let you all know that I am now down to one job so I will have more time available!

I will be doing my best to be more active both on here and with my hobbies

I don't have much else to say at the moment though..

If any of you would like to share what's going on in your lives right now, I'd love to hear it!

Today, the main purpose of this journal is to feature all the wonderful deviants that were so helpful in assisting me with my poll! If you helped with the poll and just haven't gotten back to me regarding what you'd like featured, don't worry! Just let me know and I'll feature it in my next journal

These features are a mix of those that assisted and just work I found inspiring/lovely. Enjoy!

Happy New Year: FEATURE!Happy New Year's everyone! Thank you for responding to my threads! Let me know if you'd be interested in any future features I may choose to do. Here's to an incredible year to come!

---------------------------------
I especially would like to bring attention to these two artists, who have gotten far less exposure than they deserve by all means. Please check out their work!

Feature Number 53

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 27, 2012, 4:53 PM

A Journal feature for users, a compilation of topics. A big hello to all participants.

Red DustPainted by the red dust
We shoulder the weight
Scoured by the red winds
We carry the future

Connected to our origins
But never to return
We answer to Earth's people
Yet this planet is our own

Can we carry our own future
And cease being used?
Can we gain our independence
Without fighting a whole world?

Painted by the red dust
We shoulder the weight
Scoured by the red winds
We carry the future

See These ShacklesI put my head in my hands, how did I end up here of all places. The place where I would be the least welcome, the place where everyone hated me for what I was. They didn't care who I was, or how I came to be there, or even that I was there quite legally. I looked up into the eyes of the officer above me, gasping for breath. He was looking through my papers, trying to find a fault that was not there. He would find it too, anyway to punish me for being different. They wouldn't send me back though, back to where I came from. If I was sent back there I could go where ever I wished again, as long as I avoided this hellhole. I put my head down agai

Casting RunesongsA Blurb
Angels and demons have been in a war for thousands of years, waged in the skies above a neutral human kingdom. Few remember what started the war, but it continues through racial hatred and continued wartime atrocities committed by both parties. Demons and angels both seek the favour of the lesser human beings in order to gain a small strategic edge, but time and time again wise kings, or wise advisors have turned them down, maintaining an uneasy equality in their kingdoms.
Yethzer is a member of the Demonguard, an order of demons equal to great generals when not protecting their king in battle. One day, on a routine training reconnaissance mission he and his young flock are attacked by a group vastly different from any they have encountered before. They are attacked by a flock of demons supported by an angel choir, an impossibility due to the strong inherited hatred in every single member of both races. Yethzer alone escapes and takes his story to the humans, s

It's 2 in the Morning It's been two years, and it's two in the morning. 'Why is he calling me now?' she thought. The phosphorescent glow and the buzz of the cell phone seemed to fill the hollow of the cold dark bedroom with an all too encompassing presence, much brighter and louder than it deserved to be. It was deafening, and the tiny glow illuminating the darkness so unnaturally felt like the stark contrast of light created a pocket in the night, with only a dense void of nothing beyond it.

She swiftly clicked the button to accept the call before the phone had another chance to disrupt that black void of the bedr

MakeupMakeup
disguises, enhances
changes appearances

Frequently used
causes addiction
She cannot picture
herself without it

A clean countenance
no longer attractive
in her eyes

Painted
is what it must be
with thick strokes
on delicate waterlines
and lashes like
spider legs

Luring tinted lips
and rosy cheeks
sparkly lids
a flawless skin finish

Walks the halls
flaunting perfection
but she knows
it's all fake

The beauty within
captures attention
A pretty face is nothing
without the personality
to match it:thumb291488487:

Quos-----------
The Ever Careless lot, teethered existence to mundane chores.
The Ever Priviledged, Aloofed by ominance & hedonistic behaviors.
-----------
Pass the mountain tops
Across the wilderness
venture the seas
the heart yearns to go home
back to where each of us hold dear
a litany of the soul.
-----------
To steadfast is to believe
as to trust is to have faith.
-----------
Etched deep within each of you
is the voice of reason & insidious whisper.
-----------
What is an "Idea"?
a concept which can drive people.
-----------
Voices of the past coalesque
each carries their own tempo & pitch
A hymn of the ages.
