A hundred different faces, a thousand different names.
One who fights, one who forgets, one who remembers but is never the same.
He keeps count of all he’s lost, at night when she’s alone.
He doesn’t do the family thing, and yet she has a helpline telephone.
He’s the last of his kind, but she’s also the first.
Running through time and space, trying to save the universe.

More on Why Pupaveg must be ignored
A while back, I mentioned I had a few issues with Pupaveg's artwork - specifically, the points she tried to get across with said artwork.
Now, if you don't want to listen to me grouse about why her artwork is just an excuse to preach her views (because seriously, that is all that it is), LEAVE NOW. IF you are still reading past this point, you have no right to complain that this was annoying because it was just me saying my thoughts and backing them up with facts.
Here's some more issues I have with her art:
1. She has repeatedly had her characters discredit claims that humans are omnivores by having them ask the people who tell them this
Vegans Appropriating George Floyd by JazzQueen92, journal
Vegans Appropriating George Floyd
Whatever your opinions on BLM, we can all agree that George Floyd's death was an injustice. However, as we have seen with Vegans and the Holocaust, they cross the line and try to appropriate real tragedy for their activism, which is sick. Again they seriously think comparing black people to animals will help their case, when it's actually just going to make people turn on them. And of course, it's one of the most tone deaf things to do. And I have a feeling throughout these protests there will be more cringy vegan art using George as a way to get their agenda across. So, anyone who dos that is full of it and needs to get their heads checked.
Current events continue to change our cultural perception of where “normal” is and what it entails. However, they also serve as an opportunity to reflect on what matters to us most. There are many reasons to be grateful, and now is a good time to reflect on the gratitude we have, and why. Though we may not be able to see or be near everything we’re grateful for at this time, we can still express that gratitude in many ways, including through art. Art is a means of expression that lets us convey even the hardest emotions to verbalize, and gratitude can be one of those emotions. With that in mind, we’d like to hear from you in the comments on this journal: Big or small, what are you most grateful for at this exact moment? How do you share your gratitude with others? How do you express gratitude in or through your art? Tag some deviants that you are grateful for! Here are @TurnedoutTV’s answers, for example! Big or small, what are you most grateful for at this exact moment? I’m most
Inspiration to create art can come from a wide variety of places and feelings, sometimes from current events and other times from personal feelings or thoughts. There are many reasons and ways to create, but for many artists, regardless of media, inspiration to create art is often found through a passion outside of creating art itself. We’d like to hear from you in the comments on this journal: What non-art things are you passionate about? Do you find the things you’re passionate about impact the art you create? If so, how? Does your passion for art impact the other things you are passionate about? Tag someone you’d like to answer these questions! Here’s how @Ikue answered these questions, as an example! What non-art things are you passionate about? It's hard to find a passion that isn't related to art in some form or another. I love baking, reading, and video games, and while I may not have created them all myself, an artist certainly did! Do you find the things you’re

Starbound: Avian Adventures - Prologue
Prologue - Dreams of the past
An avian child runs around in a large field of long grass, playing all sorts of games with his older brother as the sun that illuminates their planet hangs above providing plenty of warmth on this beautiful summer day. The young avian is named To'Rac and his brother is Ro'San, as brothers they were two years apart in age and they were virtually inseparable, they did everything together. They would play in the grassy fields during the day, and at night they would lay on the grass and gaze up at the stars, dreaming of exploring new worlds. It was the brother’s dream to one day leave their planet behind and e
The fires do not distinguish
fauna or flora,
they raze
the infinite lives,
built on generations
upon generations,
who flee
their forever homes
to become will-o'-wisps
of blackened forests,
haunting
the land down under.
Warm memories, summer's parted, to welcome fall,
afternoon walk over the bridge, I'm astounded.
Chill forgotten, vibrant colors... it's autumn's call
leaves are all flushed, flaming garnet I'm surrounded.
It is written in the stars tonight.
A battle begins to ignite.
Passions burning bright.
Now alight.
War
Brave ones gather, swords ready to fight.
Songs and drumbeats to excite.
Passions burning bright.
Now alight.
Roar.
Victorious, we take back the night
Souls of our fallen take flight.
Passions burning bright.
Now alight.
Soar.
I hate to watch the news-
all the crime, the hate, the tragedy.
Another school shooting
uncontrolled polluting.
It's all fear and anxiety.
It's all fear and anxiety-
ridiculous celebrity president,
opiate addiction at an all time high
sexual harassment suicide.
Nothing but mass discontent.
