RotG - A Bitter Frost - 7The only thing I could see was the Moon, and it was as though I was coming out of a very deep sleep. I could hear words though I could tell they weren't being said out loud, and I didn't really understand what I was hearing. You are chosen, Tabitha. My body felt a little warmer and I knew that was strange but I didn't remember why. You know the pain of tragedy in childhood, when childhood should be full of hope and wonder and good dreams. I was still not fully awake it seemed. Tragedy in childhood? There was something I wasn't remembering. There are those who have been chosen to guard Hope, Wonder, and Dreams but there must someone to guard M

RotG - A Bitter Frost - 6The day after, there was a memorial gathering in the town square. My mother told me that the weather had gotten even colder, so I'd need to dress extra warm. I rose from bed and dressed mechanically, wondering how I would be able to handle being outside, being around so many people. As we walked out the door, I saw that she'd made another plate of pastries. I took two and wrapped them, tucking them into my pocket.

Most people were already there, wearing black under their winter cloaks. The weather had remained frigid and I could only think bitterly that if it had been like this before, the ice wouldn't have been so thin. The town gathered c

RotG - A Bitter Frost - 5 I heard her screaming before I saw her. "Help! Someone, help! Jack, he's-" Pippa stumbled into the square, losing her breath. She was still wearing her skates and I ran to catch her as she pitched forward, unable to keep her balance. People gasped and started to gather closer.

"Pippa, what is it, what's wrong?" I asked fearfully. She was out of breath from running and she had tears streaming down her face. "Pippa... where's Jack?"

"Jack," she gasped in between sobs, "We were, we were skating and..." she sobbed harder "and the ice cracked and-" People were suddenly in a frenzy, voices were raising. Isaac and James stood at my shoul

RotG - A Bitter Frost - 4The next few days remained warm which kept both Jack and I busy, him with hunting and me inside, helping my mother prepare our house for spring. We really did intend to keep our promise to Pippa, even if it was next winter, but as luck would have it, after a few more days of warm weather, another bitter freeze fell over our town. The next morning, there was frost on the grass. I stayed inside for most of the day again, this time playing with my brothers as my father was letting them take a day off. They didn't much like being cooped up inside, but my mother was worried that the changes in the weather would make them both sick so we came up wi

Mature Content

I'm sick of fighting with people. Thank you for the support and to those who want to a go a few intellectual rounds with me, lets leave it as I'm as entitled to my opinion as you are to yours.

---------------------------------------------------------
To those who have been supportive, thank you very, very much.

TO THOSE WHO ARE TOO SELF-RIGHTEOUS TO READ ARTIST'S COMMENTS: Here is the condensed version:

I DO NOT support "burning books" or censorship. This is not about censorship, this is about the blatant abuse of the word ART.
I DO NOT have a problem with the human body as ART. I support ARTISTIC nudes.
If you tell me, "If you don't like it, don't look," I will tell you, "If you don't like my picture, don't look."
If you tell me "That's what the content filter is for," my answer to you is that the content filter also blocks out truly ARTISTIC nudes and so this is not the solution.
I DID NOT "get naked" to "get attention." This is called IRONY. I am clearly not seeking nor receiving erotic compliments in this picture, nor have I bared my breasts or vagina. If you think this is an attention ploy, tell me, please, what you think of pictures like this: [link] or [link] .
WHEN DID EXHIBITIONISM BECOME AN ART FORM?

==========================================

This picture of mine has been receiving a lot of attention: [link] and I even had a group ask to use it as their icon.

.

So this is another plea to the deviantArt community, deviants, mods, and admins alike. There is artistic nude and then there is pornography and exhibitionism. Many people on this website upload photos of their genitalia - photos that have no artistic qualities at all. They're grainy webcam photos with poor lighting, no artistic composition, no intended message or insight, no demonstration that there was any deeper concept whatsoever than a plea for drooling comments about how pretty/big/special their breasts, penis, or vagina is. There is nothing artistic about them at all.

I am not condemning true "artistic nude" pieces. They are not to my personal taste, but even though I do not particularly like them myself, even I can see that they are ARTISTIC pieces, made with the intention of exploring the beauty (or ugliness) of the human body. True artistic nudes are ART.

Posting a crappy quality shot of your junk is NOT ART.

I know that the concept of art is subjective, and I know that it has a lot to do with taste, but seriously, there is a pretty obvious objective difference between an artistic nude created for the sake of being artistic, and a photo taken for the sake of fishing for erotic compliments.

Please, for the love of god, deviants. There are plenty of pornographic and erotic pictures where these pictures of your junk would be welcome and acceptable, but deviantArt is not one of those sites. This site is for ART.

Please, ADMINS and MODS! Open your eyes and do your job.

=========================

Also, on a side note, I clearly suck at writing upside down on myself lol.

I perfer the type of porn that requires artistic talent to pull off, ie, anime/manga nothing exploiting real people

In your eyes, does this qualify as art, porn, both, or what?

~KaneFFF May 3, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

you're totally right.. art is no more understood as the word "art" nowdays

~Firelazy Apr 29, 2013 New member Hobbyist General Artist

I TOTALY agree!!

*BAproductions Apr 5, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

...and it's called deviant even if most of it is really main stream.

~69tits Mar 27, 2013

I love porn!

I agree

~AndreaSchillaci Mar 15, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

the photo is so stupid, everything is ART!

~MutePoetess Mar 15, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

If you care to read my artist's comments, you can see my reasoning behind this, but meanwhile, by your statement, my photo is also "art" even if you think it's stupid. So then, I think all of the poorly done pornographic material (webcam pictures of people's junk for exhibitionist purposes) is stupid.
