User blog:Darkest Shadow/Wow how did I forget?!

Yesterday was Pi Day! Wait-- that's pretty cool, but yesterday was something MORE important. I forgot my intro;bleh;I'm Darkest Shadow, formerly Pianoteen, and yesterday, something very amazing happened. It was my three-year-wikiversary! THREE. YEARS! Yay~ qq So much happened ever since that magical day. Now, I triple dog dare you to sit down and listen to this totally not-boring story about my SFWExperience.

The Whole Story
One magical day, on March 14, 2012, a magestic user known as Pianoteen had settled on this fair wiki. Pianoteen was my old username, so I'm gonna stop talking in third person. I wasn't very good at making friends back then. Way back then, my art was terrible. My anatomy.,....... well, was worse. I made a whole bunch of fan characters, starting out with Alexis, then David, then Christina. I made them human sized (like 5'6") and made them live in the United States. I wasn't very smart back then. I also was somewhat immature and didn't use proper grammar or spelling (i.e:hi im pianoteen lets be frindz).

I came here via the SNN because I found it to be nearly impossible to edit on there, all of my edits were undone, and I had to have 100 edits (50 mainspace) to get on the chat (That rule is now lifted). I found this community of people to be rather fun and playful. I met a lot of new people, and tried to become friends with them, such as TheSkullWolf, Kiramazing, MetalTD, MysticAlice, and SolariusFlare (Which are all outdated .w.) I learned a lot about mobian life, and got some art tips. For quite a while, I went on hiatus.



I came back in 2013 with more knowledge of what I was supposed to be doing. Fun stuff happened. I made even more characters, went deeper in their backstories, and changed the format of their pages. I also started up a deviantART account to post my art. (And boy was it bad). I also became a huge fan of the pokemon franchise. I still played it when I was younger and grew up with the Advanced Generation Series, but I got into the Diamond and Pearl series, and especially favored Dawn. So I started drawing a lot of pics of her.

I also started to watch MLP cause why not? From that, I was inspired to create Krys the Unicorn based off from that franchise. I also made Alyssa, Michelle, Milkshake, and a whole bunch of other characters. Then, I gave them love relationships with other characters that I wanted to make. Back then, my art block was a lot worse, so I had trouble coming up with designs, so I asked fellow users for help. I also (failed) to practice digital male anatomy. It's pretty hard. .n.

I also witnessed a few incidents with users in that year, like the marrige of Monk the Cat and Kiramazing. It was so wonderful. I cried. QwQ I find it hillarious when Kira made her rants and actions and bringing Monk and love into the subject. I also witnessed the fight between (I think) SolariusFlare and WaterKirby1994. Deep stuff.

I also participated in many roleplays in that year. There was the first roleplay I ever started, Lost in the Night, where I met my b est? friend, Nikki-Kaji. I had no idea how to roleplay back then, so I was horrible, and Lost in the Night was a failure. Then, there was the one thing EVERYONE knew about. THIS thing. SolariusFlare, along with many other protesters had a huge disagreement with TheGreatPikminZX about his overpowered OC, Korey, leading to that blog saying "Should Korey the Hedgehog die to the hands of (I forgot the name)?". Don't take any of these fights to offense.

Then, many things happened in 2014. Article imporvements, newcomers, a new anime season, new outfits. All of this jazz! I got a lot better at anatomy in that year, as I learned how to balance out the pupils, and make eyes a lot smaller. I also started to change the format of my pages to make them seem a lot less.... dirty. I also made a lot of friendships in that year, such as with Metal the Rogue, Namusan, TheDarkMantis15, Fyrefly*, and many more. I also hosted the Summer Awards for the first time ever. It was really fun to do! Then there was the one thing that turned my life on it's head for 2 weeks;the time Fyrefly* left the SFW. She was formerly Kiramazing, and she was one of my closest friends on the wiki. She just left after this one chat incident that I had no idea happened.

To conclude, as of now, my pages are a lot more clean, my anatomy is getting better, I'm much better at roleplaying, and I got over my 5 stages of grief from Fyrefly*'s departure. I made many friends, new pages, a new anime series, new outfits and new characters! Thank you for reading my story.

I love all of you guys-- Piano ♪
