Deviation Actions
as a traditional christian, it's harder for me to join in on high school groups at my school due to it's liberal agenda but i've found groups where i don't feel silenced because of my faith. if anyone is having trouble with high school groups, here are some helpful tips for other christians on what to consider before joining any group.
1. Does it silence God?
some groups at high schools are quite liberal and will victimize christians because of a hate for God. pay attention to the core belief system of the group before joining it, if the group attacks people of faith as brainwashed and narrow minded, avoid the group and pray for them.
2. What is the agenda?
groups with leftist agendas should generally be avoided by hard core christians because they could feel out of place or unwelcome. consider the mission of the group and how the mission is completed.
3. Does it promote unhealthy ways?
a lot of groups at schools promote anti christian lifestyles and try to lure christians in to brainwash them. always think about what the group is promoting and read up on scriptures, the bible will tell you what's sin and what isn't.
4. Is there an initiation?
some groups are not as friendly as others and are quite masonic in initiation. if the group is an initiation one, that's a red flag to stay away.
5. Is the group loud?
louder groups tend to be more aggressive to those who disagree with them from my encounters. groups that are more neutral or quiet about their opinions tend to be friendlier to all and healthier to interact with.
i never would join advocacy groups because they tend to be unfriendly to those who disagree with them and are very opinionated and loud, i almost joined one but left because they were intolerant of my faith and in general, not very friendly, and it takes a lot to get to me.

Why I've Been Quiet
I joined this website when I was still in high school, and that was over a decade ago. I'm almost 30 now and as you all have noticed, I'm not as active on deviant art. One of the biggest reasons is just, I'm growing up. The format style is also a huge reason, eclipse isn't user friendly and I don't want to put all the time and effort into dealing with it, I grew up on HTML and Flashplayer. Then there's the issue with AI, I am strictly against the usage of AI and am a firm believer in keeping jobs and art human. DA has played a hand in the AI problem and I just can't condone that. I don't come here much because at this point, my values don't align with the website and on top of that, I'm older and I have to adult. Yes I'll still pop in every so often but not like I used to, not until I see change. If you do want to see more of me you can follow my other socials. I promise I'll still post once in a while, but I am more active on other websites at the moment. So before I take off, I will

Strange World Review
Strange World Review After the not so successful release of Encanto (sorry, it bombed at the box office, just because it found popularity on the internet doesn't mean its initial release was a success...you know...like IRON GIANT!) People weren't really sure what would come next from the mouse house. The next movie in Disney's lineup is not a musical nor is it a world building epic where it's message is shoved down your throat, it's Strange World, a story based on the sci fi comics of yore and in many ways, much like Treasure Planet (it's a compliment). Like that other movie, Strange World received poor marketing, is mostly an alternative look at humanity in a sci fi environment, and deals with themes of parental abandonment and identity. There's a reason though for the poor marketing, as not even a short film played before it, and that's homophobia. Bob Chapek was recently outed but his influence on this movie is pretty heavy. A known homophobic conservative, Chapek was forced to
My Father's Dragon Review
My Father's Dragon Review I'm making my return to Deviantart with a review of a movie I've been looking forward to since I first heard Netflix was releasing it. My Fathers Dragon is based on a book of the same name and when I heard Cartoon Saloon, the people behind The Secret of Kells, would be adapting one of my favorite childhood reads into a 2D movie I was hyped. I sat down to see the movie and it didn't disappoint. Let's take a look at the story. Elmer is a young boy having trouble adjusting to life in a city with mean landlords, rainy days and living frugally to get by. After an intense fight with his mother, a talking cat leads him to a pier and tells him of an island which holds a dragon that can get him the money his family needs to start a small business. Elmer sets off to find the dragon, only to find out this is a rescue mission on an island full of wild animals, and it's sinking into the ocean. After a botched rescue Elmer befriends the dragon named Boris and learns
