Extracts from Dr TiddlywinkExtracts from Dr Tiddlywink's Field Guide to deviantART

Editors' Note:

Dr Tiddlywink was one of the great pioneers in the study of deviantART as a natural biome. His genius and insight were best revealed in his seminal work, A Field Guide to deviantART. The study of deviantART, or dAdAism, as it is affectionately known, was dealt a tragic blow when Dr Tiddlywink's manuscript fell victim to a vile art thief. It is only due to the actions of many brave deviants that his work was not entirely lost. Without them, this collection would not exist and so we have chosen to dedicate it

To the deviants
of deviantART.

Deviants of the world, I have tried to think of an inventive way to express my excitement over deviantART’s ninth birthday, nine years of awesome.

Even after racking my brain for days, I could not think of the words to describe such an amazing place; such an absurdly brilliant experience my time here has been.

Very few things in my life have influenced me as much as this site has, not even that year I decided to become a semi-professional pirate-ninja or that other time I tried to breed a mudkip with a llama.

I’ve learned to be a better artist, a more tolerant, charitable and social person, and when the World Tour came around to
Not Devious Enoughif only I were
stammering mammaries,
more
explicitly-minded;

if I
befriended them all,
poured
money into my findings;

if I'd
provide for the fans,
or
capture sensual moments;

then I'd have
watchers to spare,
and
not so many opponents;

this is purely conjecture, but

perhaps if I
would play the game
I'd earn my fifteen,
be displayed,
have every person's
worship;

hey dA,
I sure deserve it.
A tribute to dAAll the small things.

Hug Our Fella Plushies     "I am so, so, repeat, so tired of that website!" she was obviously tired of the website.
     "Why?" I was incredulous. "It's amazing!"
     "I can't stand it how all of you call me at one in the morning just to say, 'dude, go check dA!' It's infuriating!" I felt that the eyeroll was unecessary, though it did convey the point.
     "Well, um," I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be saying. Take the high road, fizzy, I thought. "I'm sorry?"
     "You should be!" she nodded curtly, apparently appeased. "And ever
To a Deviant. A Specific One.[2:57:18 AM] Ameko-Shadowsong: Damn it, woman, let me get some sleep.

Learn to read a clock. Five minutes is five minutes, not thirty. Half an hour is half an hour, not two. Just because you are some inhuman creature who can live off computer and caffeine energies doesn't mean we all are. And by all, I mean me. I NEED SLEEP. How many times do I have to tell you? I have to go to school in three hours, and you can survive that, but I can't. Get it through your head!

Seriously. One day, I am going to meat you, and when that day comes, you'll never escape those flying steaks. They will soar like one big bloody rainstorm, until I've become one v
Humorous TributeFunny writings on the wall
Would the ever catch the fall?
“Yes, they would,“ the deviants shout,
“This is what it is about.”

A community to be who we are,
That wants to take us just so far
As to see who we want to be
Without the smallest fee.

For nine years it grew and grew
Until it was a giant zoo,
Held together by the only thing
That's as endless as a ring:

Art! It's what we are about.
Non-creative people pout
Because we are free to be
Different than you, you see?

Sorry to point this out but, if you are so inclined to change it, there is a typo: "senisble" should be sensible... unless its a reference to something that I've missed. Other then that, awesome. I love the meter.
