After having long since outgrown this account and finally have discovered my very own identity that isn't influenced by Nationalism, I have been contemplating what to do about this old account and its, admittedly, sensitive, racist, and offensive content. I was thinking along the lines of trashing this account as a whole and starting completely fresh, but once on the internet, that's where it forever stays, and if I try to hide what was practically teenage ignorance on top of being grossly informed on Historical Facts and influenced by whack ideologies, there is going to come a day where I will eventually have to answer for it.


That being said, instead of shamelessly hiding my old art and the whack content it contains, I think I owe it to those in cyberspace who stumble across this acknowledgement and ownership over what was created, was wrong, and express that I know better now and no longer function on the sheer amount of ignorance this page exhibits. What I have drawn in the past was insensitive, racist, culturally and historically offensive and ignorant and I definitely do not condone any of the things that I once emulated. It was very wrong to do and I strongly advise anyone who finds the sensitive content within this page to not ever praise it or support it. When created, it came from a ignorant state of mind that refused to do proper research at the time for the sake of protecting my own ego from being wrong and then holding oneself accountable from being wrong. On top of using country flags as part of my identity of who I am as a person was, admittedly quite cringe. Why that happened? Being a teen/young adult who craved freedom so badly that wasn't given at the time, it was my strange way of feeling like a free person in control of myself and my own destiny. There is obviously more to that story but not only is it not very relevant to this journal, it's a topic I do not have time to unpack.


I no longer share the same views or political stances this page of old content shows, and I no longer identify myself using country flags, slogans, nationality, etc. Thankfully I have found myself my very own identity that isn't aligned with a country and it's views and political affiliations. I have long since grown out of this strange phase and do not support or condone any of the old content I once produced. I would also like to offer my sincerest apologies to those who saw the content in the past and were hurt by it or frightened of it in any way, shape, or form. This art community should be a safe place for everyone and I am ashamed that I once contributed to making the art community a uncomfortable and unsafe place. Rest assured, it will not be happening again since I have grown way beyond what I once aligned myself with. The things I draw and post now are devoid of such things and are a lot better to engage with and is a lot more creative.

Hello all! If you are reading this journal entry as a avid follower of my craft, I cannot thank you enough for your love and support! However, I do not regret to inform you that I have undergone an entire change in my identity as a Scalie and have left my old Dragonsona behind. That's right! AMerica, AmericanBlackSerpent, AmericanDragoness, and various other patriotic dragon names I have affiliated with myself is no more. Do not get me wrong, I love my old sona and she will forever have a place in my heart, but she no longer represents who I am as a member of the artistic community, and furry community so I have retired her permanently. Likewise, I have moved on to a different identity and a new DeviantArt URL Account! Of course with the new account, I have forged myself a new dragonsona, and her name is Spitfyre! She's a Sea Swift, a dragon species of my own design! Spitfyre represents my true self when it comes to being a dragon, 100% authentically me! Thank you all who were here with me on this account for all these years, but now it is time for me to begin anew!


If you followed me and I followed you back on this old account, PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE go to my new account and post a link to your account in the comments section so I can follow you back again!


Below and at the top of this journal is my new account! I look forward to seeing you there! Much love to you all!

Hey guys! It's been awhile since I posted much, but that's because College has been crazy busy! Well now I'm back and for a bittersweet reason.......

I decided, for the first time, to quit being a commission chicken and open for some! :D However, the reason why is a little personal situation that is in dire need of my attention.

EDIT: I CAN SAY WITH HAPPINESS THAT THESE ARE NO LONGER EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS, AS A FAMILY MEMBER SURPRISED ME AND HELPED ME OUT OF THE TRICKY MEDICAL SITUATION! SO THESE ARE NOW JUST REGULAR COMMISSIONS THAT I AM OPEN FOR! YAY! :D

Okie dokie! Onto commission info!


What I CAN draw!

Animals, both fantasy or real, people, machines, inanimate objects, violence (within boundaries), slight gore, cute stuff, cute ships, fighting, weapons, chibis, basically almost anything! As for styles, Anime, cartoon, semi-realistic, I am very flexible on styles!

Fanservice, fetishes, sexual stuff, obscenities, offensive stuff, anything R or X rated, anything related to drugs, or anything that can be deemed as hateful!

PAPERCHILDS!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. First comes first, who are you, your age, and add an interesting hobby!
In case you hadn't already read through the tag meme thoroughly and figured it out, I am addressed by the name of Scout. I am a Dutch Angel Dragon who fights for the Scout Regiment against the menace to the human race known as Titans. A hobby I take joy in when I don't watch this species die in terrible ways, is bird-watching or reading. As for age, it's nothing but a state of mind, so there's your answer.

2. [4] What do you regret the most?
 Alpine: I barely have any regrets to be honest! I'm very happy with my life! :D buuuttt.....if I REALLY had to give out an answer....I guess it would be climbing a tree once on a dare. I got stuck and Xydon had to get me down. :( I'm afraid of heights. D:>


3. Do you have a fetish [2]? And does [5] fill it?
Loki: Sorry hunny! But that is classified as Nunya biz baby! Loki doesn't parade his naughty little desires around, that would be very unawesome! And as the most awesome character in this tag meme, I need to keep up my title! All of this fabulousness does not happen without work darling~! 8}

Xenine: I...I .....I'm scared.


4. [10] becomes Emo! What was the cause and who will be the most concerned, [7], [1] or [9]
Eris: The fuck???? What kind of question is this???? If you were to know what I've been through at all in my life, and I still ain't no emo, then I can guarantee, NOTHING....and I mean...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, can make me become Emo! Bull the hell of it, I'll bite. Someone probably taking Talon away from me. That would be a dick move and she's practically the only family I have left.....so yeah.....

Cobalt: Good heavens, Young Eris becoming enveloped in darkness and meaningless cliques on top of that? Considering her usual behavior, I can surmise she's way too much of a strong-willed brute to become something she is not. By small happenstance that does occur, I would question whether or not her solemn friend Matteo is to blame simply as influence. *mild shudder* God be with her if she ever falls prey to his influence...................I would elaborate on why that would be a problem, but I prefer to leave it unsaid.

Scout: I don't even know this youngster, let alone know what Emo even means, so how exactly would it be a worrisome burden on my subconscious? It's not my business. Besides, she seems like a very annoying little brat. Definitely someone I wouldn't want to have in my life. Ugh.....

Vakoma: I don't know her either, but I gotta say, the kid has a mouth on her. She doesn't really strike me as someone who would become Emo, I don't know.....(shrug)........Either way, as long as she is not hurting anybody, then what's the big deal?


5. [8] Loses his/her keys to his/her house. [6] Invites [8] to stay over at his/her house. What happens next?

Misty: *SQUAWK!* But.....Misty doesn't know how to drive! Misty don't care though! Flying is so much more cooler than driving! Driving is lame! *SQUAWK!* But Misty doesn't mind fellow birdie company! Even monster birdie company! Misty will take monster birdie out for some fishy crackers!

Xydon: Ugghhh......this bird hangs around humans too much, seriously.......that don't mean I don't like her though. Yeah, she's stupid, but she's good company. But all she does is talk and try to make me eat those nasty human treats she calls fishy crackers and like that doesn't get annoying. The shit that humans eat ain't for critters like me and her, not at all.................................... *eying the Xtreme Cheddar Goldfish crackers* .............................................................................................................................................*drool*


6. Who would win a fight, [5] or [3]?
AMerica(Myself): I would never hurt sweet little Xenine! D: She's just a misunderstood beastie with a sad past! Why would I want to think like that???????? ....Though if she released her deadly gas, I'd be dead in a heartbeat.

Xenine: Wh-.....why would I want to......hurt anybody??? I....I don't like fighting....I've seen enough bad things happen......and....I-....I......rrmm......I want to live.......

7. A party was held at [2]'s house! [10] gets drunk and [2] notices. Does [2] do anything?
Eris: aaggrrrgggghhh......*urp* ehehehe......yeeeaaahhhh.........that's good shit right there...........aww yeeahhh......*passes out on the floor* Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Loki:
hmhmhmhmh~! >X} Never pass out, when there's markers about, hunny~! *starts drawing all over her face in Sharpie marker*

NEXT DAY....

Eris: *waking up* ....rrrgghhhhhhhh.....aagghh. fuck......my head.....(puts hand on head) .....wait a minute....where the hell..- *realizes she's on a inflatable mattress in the middle of the lake* AAAHH!!! YOU FLAMING DOUCHE BAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN I GET OFF THIS THING, I'M GONNA KICK YER ASS SO DAMN HARD YOU ASS WILL BECOME YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! *curls up in the middle of the mattress*

8. Does [4] want a child? Yes or no? If yes, a boy or a girl and how many?
Alpine: Ooohhh! I never thought of having a kid of my own, but I do love human children! I think they're the best!!! :D So I think I would adopt a human kid! How many.....rrmmmm....I'm not suuuurreee....probably 1 so they can have all my love and attention! And it doesn't matter the gender!




9. [5] falls asleep on [1]'s couch. What's [1]'s reaction and does he/she do anything about it?
Xenine: Zzzzzzz....*zzt*.....zzzzz....*zzzt*

Scout: What......in the name of Wall Maria is that????? And....how the......*looking around place* How did it get in my house????? *ssssiiiiiggghhhhh* *picks Xenine up and places her outside*




10. [9] is dreaming a lot about [8]. [9] confesses that [8] has been on his/her mind and explains the dream. How does it go?
Vakoma: Okay Earth Birdbeast.....You've been haunting my mind and just last night I dreamt that you came into my house, riding a wave of Fish Snacks on a elongated elliptical aquatic board. I think we need to cool it with the cracker talk. Yeah, I won't lie, they are awesome but seriously.......get a grip!

Misty:
Misty will NEVER stop talking about fishy crackers! NEVER!

Vakoma: Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy..........Why can't I deal with one crazy bird only??????

11. Who would [6] prefer to go out with, [10] or [7]?
Xydon: Neither! The snake is too stuck-up for me and sneezes out magic snot! That's nasty! And the other one is a human! Which is EVEN WORSE! D:<



12. Whoever [6] picked, [6] has married! How does [3] react?
Xydon: I'm sure as hell glad I didn't pick none of those shmucks!! What are even these questions????? Is this what people consider "fun"? You humans are messed up!

AMerica(Myself): ahahahaa......I would've been REALLY surprised if Xydon married to either.......but if she married Cobalt....that would technically make her my "step-mom?" so that's a little weird.....but cool...........since Xydon is pretty neat. But Eris????? Oh my god.....I'd faint! 0_0

13. [4] Turns out to think he/she will never get a good boyfriend/girlfriend. Why does [4] think that and how will [8] react or help?
Alpine: I can never find my significant other because there is no other Ahkluts out there for me. :( When it comes to a companion, I am forever alone. *whimper*

Misty: Awwww! *squawk* don't be upset giant whale puppy! Have some fishy crackers! Fishy crackers always make things feel better! *Pats his head with wing*

14. Will [2] ever be a good comedian?
Loki: Oooohh hunny, with a personality like this and great looks like these, you KNOW Loki can bring on the entertainment! 8} ~*Sparkle*~


15. [5] Suggests "Russian Roulette" for a game do [1] and [10] agree to it?
Xenine: Uhhh......rmm hey uh.....do.......do...you like to play some....R-..Rashing Rewlate.....?? .....with me???

Eris: WHAT THE HELL???? No!!!!!

Xenine:
*bzzt!* I-I-'m sorry! I'm sorry! >~<;;;;; *cowers and puts paws over head*

Scout:
Why are you even yelling? It's not even needed, gosh! Seriously, you need some kind of mute button on you! And give me a good reason why we can't take up this creature's offer on a friendly game? Besides, I'm curious to know how it goes. It could be fun.

Eris: .....wow..............You two seriously have no idea what that is??????

Xenine and Scout:
*Look at each other and shrug*

Eris: You put one bullet in a gun in a random slot or whatever....put it to your head and pull the trigger and hope your brains won't be blown out. There, now you know.

Scout: Why not just replace it with harmless paintballs then?

Xenine:
Oh....I um......I...guess???

Eris: What the hell? You STILL wanna play????? Newsflash, paintballs still hurt, you idiots!

Scout: If this meek creature wants to play a game so badly then I will join in. You can easily make the game harmless with paintballs. Yeah sure whatever, they sting. What kid? Are you too much of a softie to deal with a little pinch from a paintball?

Eris: Oh my gosh.....SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!

*Pointless arguing continues in between Scout and Eris while Xenine slowly backs away*

 16. [7] has a huge embarrassing secret about [6] and tells [2]. [6] knows that [7] told [2]. Does [6] plan to take revenge or ignore it?
Cobalt: Ah, it appears I have accidentally slipped about your secret, Miss Xydon, to Master Loki. My sincerest apologies, as it was not intended for it to work out like that.

Xydon: *drooling some of the toxic orange substance* YOU DID WHAT?????? D:< HIM OF ALL ANIMALS.....YOU HAD TO SLIP TO HIM?????? HE'S THE WORST CREATURE TO TELL A SECRET TO!!!!!! You got Magic snot! Wipe his memory! Do it or I WILL shove pepper up your snout and make you!!!


17. [8] plays "7 Minutes In Heaven" with [6], [4] and [5]. [8] goes in with [6]. What goes on with [8] and [6]. Do they kiss, and follow the rules or do more or less?
Xydon: The things you make us do....*rolls eyes and walks into the closet with Misty*

Misty: *SQUAWK!* heheheh!

Alpine: But you agreed to do it Xydon! Come on, it's not so bad! I think it's fun! You simply talk you know! Talking is nice! That's how I got to know my closet buddy for the 7 minutes we were together! :D

Xenine: I uhh......yeah......*blush*

Xydon: Yeah, yeah, alright. *closes the closet door* .......

Misty: Hehehehe..... >:] *squawk*

Xydon:
.....oh god...what?

Misty: Kissie! Kissie! *makes kissing noises*

Xydon: HEEEEECCCCKK NOOO!!!! *dodging her*

Misty: *chasing Xydon around the closet* Pucker up buttercup, here comes Misty! Kissie! Kissie! Heheheeh!

Xydon: NO!!!!!! D:<



18. Someones a parent! [9] what happened? Who's the partner? Tell us!
Vakoma: Wait?? Wait???? what.....wa........This grub is mine????? But....but.....I don't even want to fill buckets with anyone!!! D: Even if the drones make me!! Alternian Society can suck it!! .................................Did I really fill buckets with someone, oh my gog. ._.;;;

19. [4] Is forced to sit on [8]'s lap? Does everything stay friendly? Who wanted it, [4] or [8]?

Alpine: *tail wag and happy panting* Arf! >3< You're a nice birdie! I like you!

Misty: *totally squished* Sqqqquuaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwkk. @-@;;;;

20. [1] has slept over at [3]'s house with [9]. [1] decides to pull a prank on [9] and ties him/her up. Why and what's [3]'s reaction when him/her wakes up?
AMerica(Myself): *sees Vakoma all tied up* Wh.......

Vakoma:
*fast asleep* zzzzzzzzz......*drooling*

AMerica(myself): Whooooaaa.....Scout...haha dude, did you do that?

Scout: Who else would it be? That's just a little trick I like to play on some regiment soldiers if they ever sleep in past their time to wake up. Hehe.


21. [8] gets [2] for a slave for a day. What does [8] make [2] do?

Misty: *deep intimidating voice* As ruler of you and your entire body for a day, My first order that you must obey is.........................GIVE MISTY FISHY CRACKERS!!!!!

Loki: Naaahhh.....I don't feel like it.

Misty: Giiiiive Misty fishy crackers! *squawk!*

Loki:
maaaahhhh...but I don't waaannnaaaaaaaaaaa. 8{ *slouches to the ground and lays there* eeeeeeehhhhhhh.......

22. [4] if there was one person in the world you could live with forever, who would it be? Pick one person from the list and you pick one person who's not on the list (it can be someones OC that isn't yours).
Alpine: Why I'd live with my best buddy Xydon! We are great pals and she always looks out for me! :D

23. Oh no! [6] has gone missing! Turns out [3] had kidnapped him/her. How does [6] react to his/her kidnapper? 
Xydon: *looking to me* ............really??? >:/

AMerica(myself):
*shrug* ehehe... ^-^;;


24. [4] is dared to take off 5 articles of clothing, which does he/she chose take off? Shoes, glasses, bracelets, earrings, hair accessories and watches don't count either...
Alpine: No problem! I don't wear clothes! :D

25. [3] is arrested? Why and who comes to save [3] or is he/she left there for the full time?
AMerica(Myself): So what if I decked them??? They asked for it! I demand justice for my injustice! *GRRROOOOWWWWWWLLLL!*

Cobalt: Child, the more you speak, the more you make me reconsider paying the bail.......
