Deviation Actions
All I ever wanted to do was make friends and engage in discussion with others online when I join any site. When people invade my privacy, I should be free to defend myself.
If I block and remove people when feeling particularly fragile, I have the right to do that.
When people aggressively post public statuses and information about me to drag me back into the open, directly conflicting with my intent to retreat into a safe and comfortable space, I am publicly attacked for it. If I try to defend myself, people post my private skype chats and screenshots of private facebook statuses in the open.
If the topic of "me" is aggressively dragged back into public spaces, I have a right to stand up for myself and share my side of the story. If I defend myself passively, people continue to relentlessly attack me and put words in my mouth, insulting me and saying demeaning things. Why do I deserve that?
Why can't people respect that I don't want to be publicly shamed for unfair reasons? That I do not have an army of cronies supporting me?
It's funny because these same people turn right around when they see my art and buy it.
When they see that I'm a girl, they tell me I'm cute and that they'd like to bang me.
There is a horde complex that I cannot break through there, and as a result I am defenseless as people gang up on me, and shuffle through my social media sites. If I want to share something somewhere that I think is private and only among friends, I should be allowed to do that without fearing that someone will spread it to other sites. People will come twist my words, without context, without the whole story, they will think they know what is going on in my mind, think they know what I am thinking. Am I playing the victim? No, I am the victim. Step back and evaluate your actions.
People are so powerful behind a computer screen, somewhere far away--but would you say these things to my face? Would you tell me that I'm unintelligent? Not worth associating with? A bitchy, unreasonable, asshole?
Probably not
And you hopefully know know deep down that it's not true, and you're just hurting someone who wants to let things be
I've been considering writing my senior honors thesis about trying to grow as an artist among unsafe internet spaces.... I have so much to go on.

Yes, I finally changed my DA username
...well, I'm known as Dawnfire literally *everywhere* else, so I figured I might as well nab the url most commonly associated with me -- Dawnf1re, which is my twitter, tumblr, instagram, etc. As much as I love the relic left over from when I was 11 years old and signed up for DA, at this point, it's just a source of confusion for people who don't realize this is me. So yeah! Still me, just name updated to match every other social media space I exist in. You can still call me Celebi if you like! (:
2019 convention schedule
Hello!!
Once again I appear from the void to update my DA journal to reflect my schedule for the next few months!!
I will be vending at:
Everfree Northwest (Seattle) May 17-19th
MLP-MSP (Minneapolis) June 14-16th
Otakon (Washington, DC) July 26 - 28th
Bronycon (Baltimore) August 1-4th
... so far. So see everyone there :3
And as always, it's best to contact me elsewhere as I do not check DA super often:

I should update this...
Hey y'all!
I'll update this with ACTUAL con stuff and important things in a little while, but for now I'll get the outdated 2018 con stuff off my page, to remind y'all that:
I don't use DA super often!! I usually only post my more refined works here. If you want to contact me, please try to shoot me a message at:
https://twitter.com/dawnf1re
http://dawnf1re.tumblr.com/
https://www.instagram.com/dawnfireart/
I also am generally closed for commissions for the upcoming holiday season, aside from for my Patreon supporters.
There's my little update. :D :heart:
