Greetings, friends, fans, and viewers, Antoni here. I know I cannot get over the fact that I have just had my one-year anniversary in this place called DeviantArt, which I can easily consider it to be my Mecca for posting fanart and memes from my favorite fandoms. However, throughout this year, I have also been doing a bit of introspection because I would never want to have any drama on this site that I have visited ever since I was only fourteen and then decided to join a week before I turned 26 years old. Now that I will turn 27 in five days time, I want to take the time attempt to make this reflection in prose form in the best way I can. How blessed I am To be surrounded by brilliant, young, creative minds To know that we have things in common To know that, in spite of our differences, we can be great friends To gain inspiration, experience, and knowledge. And it is all thanks to you, My fellow artists who have inspired me through your works My watchers who have supported me and put up with me My good artist friends who I consider to be family, For you have given me every valid reason To wake up every morning with positivity To feel driven to draw something out of the depths of my mind To draw the shippings I support the most To acknowledge how much effort you all put in your works And to feel just as driven, determined, and passionate to emulate the quality you put in. For that, I am eternally grateful. In spite of my overall euphoria and bliss, I know that there are some things that I have done wrong For that, I have to swallow my pride and acknowledge them. I am sorry for all the times I acted annoying. I am sorry for all the times I shove both of my negative and positive opinions on others’ throats. I am sorry for all the delays I could have and could not have controlled. I am sorry if I showed intolerance to others’ ships, fandoms, and the like. I am sorry if I pissed any of you off for something or everything I did wrong. I am sorry for all of the misunderstandings that have occurred. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me So that we can all start anew Put the past behind us all And, most importantly, live and let live. I am not doing this for acclaim. I am not doing this in the hopes that everyone here on DA will like me. I know that there are those who probably cannot stand me. I am aware that there are those who find me irritating. And, don’t worry, I acknowledge it. I may not be here to please everybody But I am here to be one of the very people who can make DA better. It is true that there are a lot of times that DeviantArt can be full of unnecessary drama. All for what? Not taking criticism well and in a more professional manner? Ripping off from other people’s works? Fueling the flames to make internet drama just as highly witnessed as a soap opera? At the end of the day, I would never want to be that type of person. I detest being that type of person who is classified as a ripoff. I never want to fuel unnecessary flames for the sake of internet drama. More importantly, I never want to whine about criticism Because I can and have to take the heat. I need to be that type of person who ensures unity on DA. I need to ensure that the positives of being on DA can surely outweigh the negatives. I need to show a lot more tolerance, especially when it comes to shipping. I never want to show toxicity to anyone Because the world has enough crap and needs a lot more healing than it already has. More than anything, I want and need to make sure that the stuff I make, whether fanart, meme or journal entry, Can show what and who I am as a person and not sugarcoat nor upset anyone. Through my fanart, I want to keep showing my appreciation to all of you, wonderful artists. You have kept me alive, well, and entertained even in my down days. I also consider doing fanart, memes, and journal entries on DA very therapeutic, As it can make my mind travel to places unknown, Explore many different tastes And, most of all, enjoy the ride doing so. I wrap this up by having this to say. Regardless of who you are, Fellow artist Fellow writer Fan Friend Greatest sources of inspiration, You are all golden and brilliant in your own ways. Continue to be the best versions of yourselves. I bless you all and take care. Once again, I thank you all, my dear friends, fans, and fellow artists for making my time on DeviantArt great. For those who I have badly hurt, I am sorry and I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me. Take care, have a good spring, and let’s continue to make DeviantArt a great place to express ourselves. https://www.deviantart.com/antonimatteogarcia

This piece of Blossoomer and Blossoomer fan children fan art, which is part of BrickercupMasterX3’s annual Blossoomer month, is dedicated to Zuzanna aka niziolek and Alex aka SportyArtist who are celebrating their birthdays today. So, I wish you a lot of love, joy, happiness, fortune, beauty, strength, abundance, and prosperity on your very special day as well as in your lives as artists and as people. This is also dedicated to all of the Blossoomer shippers and, as you can tell, this is in honor of the Chinese New Year, more specifically with 2019 being the Year of the Pig. So, Happy Chinese New Year or Kung Hei Fat Choi to you all, sit back, relax, and soak in that Blossoomer goodness. Here we have 26 going on 27-year-old Boomer, his 25 going on 26-year-old life partner Blossom, and their beloved 7 going on 8-year-old sextuplets Bloom, Brittney Jane aka BJ, Beau, Brian, Becky, and Bella Donna aka Belladonna celebrating their Chinese New Year in style. Boomer is dressed as a traditional Chinese martial artist, as he gets to expose his glorious upper body for his beloved Blossom and his children to see. Blossom is dressed as a beautiful Chinese noblewoman and, therefore, looks as elegant as ever. Bloom and BJ are also dressed as Chinese noblewomen. Beau and Brian are dressed akin to Chinese noblemen of the court. Finally, Becky and Belladonna are dressed as Shaolin Kung Fu fighter girls. This should come off as no surprise that Blossom’s affiliation with the Chinese language, more specifically Cantonese, has been ingrained with her since childhood and, therefore, loves exploring Eastern culture and tradition. Hence, every Chinese New Year, she and Boomer would be dressed to the nines in their attires with their children following suit. It also helps that Bloom, BJ, Beau, Brian, Becky, and Belladonna are very diligent when it comes to studying both Cantonese and Mandarin as well as Chinese culture, history, lifestyle, and tradition in general. I hope you all enjoyed this piece of Blossoomer fan art and from me, my family, and my friends to yours, have a most prosperous, awesome, and blessed Chinese New Year. Take care, everybody. Boomer and Blossom from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network. Bloom, Brittney, and Becky belong to KatyGorl. Beau, Brian, and Bella belong to Misse-the-cat and KatyGorl.
This piece of Zane fanart, which is part of my art trade with my very good friend and sister from another mother Dolo aka PowerpuffObsessed, is dedicated to the one and only Zane aka ZaneRowdyruff who celebrated his birthday yesterday. So, Zane, I hope you had a wonderful, grand, and exquisite birthday. I wish you a lot of love, joy, happiness, abundance, and beauty in everything you do as an artist and as a person. Como se dice en español, espero que tu hayas tenido un maravilloso, grande y exquisito cumpleaños. Te deseo much amor, felicidad, abunancia y belleza en todo que tú haces como artista y persona. I have to say that enjoy making Zane’s OC Zane the Rowdyruff Boy because of how I had to make sure that I got the right characterization, attitude, stance, and everything about him that makes him awesome and fun. I figure that he would make a nice addition to my Team Xtreme universe as one of Brick’s, Butch’s, Bommer’s, Blossom’s, Buttercup’s, and Bubbles’ greatest ally of all time. Since he is fifteen years old and Brick, Butch, and Boomer are twenty-six years old, Blossom and Buttercup are twenty-five years old, and Bubbles is twenty-four years old, I think he would make a nice apprentice to them and he would look up to them as his greatest sources of inspiration, thus giving them a lot of respect and admiration and the team respecting him back in virtue of his extraordinary powers that while in the process of development shows exceptional promise. So, Zane, I hope you like my idea for your OC in my Rowdyruff x Powerpuff Headcanon. Happy Holidays and I will see you on the flipside, man.

After her 38-year-old Deutsche Oper Berlin debut as Lucia Ashton from Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, Signora Gruberova’s stint at this very opera house goes out with a bang with this farewell concert and along the way are more roads less traveled for this diva who is still going very strong. Enjoy the review and let me know your opinions as well.
This piece of Brickubbles and Boomercup fanart, which is part of BrickercupMasterX3’s Boomercup Month, is dedicated to A.J. Miller aka AJthePPGfan who is celebrating his birthday today. So, A.J. I wish you a lot of love, joy, happiness, beauty, strength, triumph, and abundance on your very special day as well as in your life as an artist and as a person. This is also dedicated to all of the hardcore and awesome Brickubbles and Boomercup shippers out there. So, I hope you all enjoy this. I’m sure you all had crushes no matter where you are in your life and you might have had butterflies in your stomachs, thus giving you that sensation of feeling so enticed when you see the apple of your eye. Well, the Blues can pretty much attest to that, especially when they were teenagers. Ah, Boomer and Bubbles aka The Blues. They wear their emotions on their sleeves. They are the nicest and most sympathetic people of Team Xtreme. They are also really creative. They seemed to be truly and indubitably made for each other. As much as I am a huge Boomubbles fan and OTP shipper, as I do believe that they are the best color-coded couple, I will admit this, I also like Brickubbles and Boomercup so much as cute, innocent pairings. However, as you can tell, I am also a major Brickercup, Butchubbles, and Blossoomer fan and OTP shipper. At least, I can say that, in my most humble opinion, Brickubbles and Boomercup are more desirable in my eyes that Blossick and Butchercup combined, though they do not approach the OTP levels of Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, Blossoomer, and Boomubbles combined. Boomer is seventeen years old while Bubbles is fifteen years old and they are both in the eleventh grade all back in the year 2009. Bubbles the cheerleader, the girls’ track star, the star artist, the aspiring actress, singer, and musician, and the most lovable girl in school is totally enamored with seventeen-year-old Brick the most popular young man in school, the MVP of the basketball team, and one of Townsville’s most well-rounded students. Sure, she has her favorite teddy-bear boyfriend Boomer by her side and she loves her darling strongman Butch, but Bubbles goes crazy over Brick’s signature swagger and his way of showing the ladies a good time, which should be no surprise, as Brick and Bubbles have been really good friends when they were Kindergarteners and when the Ruffs and the Puffs joined forces as one amazing superhero team. Plus, they have each others’ backs for great measure. Boomer the MVP of the soccer team, his school band’s lead singer, the aspiring actor, the boys’ track star, the Renaissance man, and one of the most handsome young men in school is head over heels in love with sixteen-year-old Buttercup the MVP of the volleyball team, the toughest and strongest girl in school, and the all-around athlete. As much as he loves his darling Bubbles and is so enamored with Blossom’s brand of awesomeness, Boomer just can’t get his eyes off of how strong, tough, and determined Buttercup really is. However, we all know, at the end of the day, these were just silly, adorable teen crushes they had back in the days. At least one can rest assured, that the cuteness factor for these pairings held up rather well. Well, I hope you all enjoyed this piece of Brickubbles and Boomercup fanart. See you all in the next submission. Brick, Bubbles, Boomer, and Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
“Celos de tus ojos cuando miras a otra chica tengo celos, celos Celos de tus manos cuando abrazas otra chica tengo celos, celos Cuando te encuentras con alguien cuando caminas con alguien cuando te siento feliz yo tengo celos, tengo celos Hoy quiero bailar solo contigo hoy quiero soñar que tu eres mio hoy te dare todo mi amor en un abrazo y tu prometeras que nunca más me haras sentir nunca más, nunca más, nunca más, nunca Celos de tu boca cuando besas otra chica tengo celos, celos Celos de la nohce que comparte tus secretos tengo celos, celos cuando te miro a los ojos cuando te siento a mi lado cuando te veo marchar Yo tengo celos, tengo celos Hoy quiero bailar solo contigo hoy quiero soñar que tu eres mio hoy te dare todo mi amor en un abrazo y tu prometeras que nunca más me haras sentir nunca más, nunca más, nunca más, nunca Celos de tu boca cuando besas otra chica tengo celos, celos, celos, celos” -Celos, Daniela Romo, Written by José Luis Perales, Released in 1983 from the album “Daniela Romo” English Translation: “Jealous of your eyes when you stare at another girl I am jealous, jealous Jealous of your hands when you hug another girl I am jealous, jealous When you spend time with someone when you walk with someone when I see you’re happy I’m jealous, so jealous Now I want to dance only with you Now I want to dream that you are mine Now I’ll give you all my love in one hug and you’ll promise to never make me feel never again, never again, never again, never Jealous of your lips when you kiss another girl I am jealous, jealous Jealous of the night that knows your secrets I am jealous, jealous when I see your eyes when I feel you’re beside me when I see you leave I’m jealous, so jealous Now I want to dance only with you now I want to dream that you are mine now I’ll give you all my love in one hug and you’ll promise to never make me feel never again, never again, never again, never Jealous of your lips when you kiss another girl I’m jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous” This piece of Butchubbles and Blossutch or Blossutchubbles fanart, which is part of the wonderful BrickercupMasterX3’s Blossutch month, is dedicated to SethMendoza who celebrated his birthday four days ago. So, Seth, I hope you had a most blessed, awesome, great, and marvelous birthday. Continue on being a fine gentlemen and I wish you well in everything you do. Como se dice en español, yo espero que tú hayas tenido un cumpleaños muy bendito, magnifico, grande y maravilloso. Siga con ser un gentilhombre muy bueno y te deseo muchas cosas buenas en todo que tú haces. I would also love to dedicate this to all of the amazing shippers of both Blossutch and Butchubbles. Espero que lo disfrutais este trozo de fanart, amigos queridos mios. Ay, pobre Blossom o Bombón en la versión hispanohablante está muy celosa de Bubbles o Burbuja porque cree que su querido Butch está enamorada en su hermanita en lugar de ella. That is Spanish for, oh, poor Blossom she is really jealous of Bubbles because she believes that her darling Butch is in love with her little sister instead of her. Could it be just how jolly, adorable, and cute Bubbles is, especially when around a hunk like Butch? Most likely, yet the world will never know. I mean, what’s a guy like Butch to do when he is between two lovely ladies like the adorable, pretty Bubbles and the gorgeous, articulate Blossom? Who on earth is he going to choose? This is where the fun part is for all you people who ship Butch with either Bubbles or Blossom. Feel free to comment below on what is your most beloved Butch-centered ship. Come on, I won’t bite. It should be no surprise that I have found myself being an absolute fan of the Mexican 80’s pop song “Celos” sung by the fabulous, splendid and stupendous Daniela Romo, one of my all-time favorite Mexican singers and actresses of all time. I also hope you enjoy listening to this song, as much as you enjoy this love triangle going on between Bubbles, Butch, and Blossom. Celos the solo version with Daniela Romo Celos the duet version with José Luis Perales and Daniela Romo in 1984 Festival de Viña. Please skip to 1:01 for the main duet. Gracias y que lo paséis bien con escuchar, amigos mios. Well, I hope you all enjoyed this. I’m sure a great number of you either prefer Butchubbles, Blossutch or both, especially if you are anything like me and just love the absolute heck out of both Blossutch and Butchubbles. If ever you have a preference, please let me know in the comments below. Hasta la próxima y vaya con Dios.

This piece of Blossutch fanart is dedicated to NinSega who celebrated his birthday yesterday. So, Nisaar, I hope you had a very wonderful birthday and I hope you enjoy this picture and this overall post. I would also love to dedicate this to all of my fellow Blossutch shippers, so do enjoy this post as well, you guys! Man, I can’t get enough of Blossutch, can I. There’s always something so appealing about having a brawny beast like Butch pair up with a brainy belle like Blossom and it’s super interesting. Heck, I would go out of my way and say that I love this more than Blossick and Butchercup combined, hence that’s why I am a hardcore Blossutch and Brickercup shipper. Here we have Butch and Blossom showing why one should never mess with this brawn-and-beauty couple and the answer should be rather obvious. Narrator: The City of Townsville. And what a pleasant late afternoon for Team Xtreme’s most awesome power couples. Brick and Buttercup are swimming in the ocean. Boomer and Bubbles are jogging in the park. And Butch and Blossom have just finished their outdoor Muay Thai training. Let’s not forget about their children who are spending time with their grandparents. Blaze, Brent, Brooke, Bailey, and Barley are with Mr. Green and Mrs. Bellum Green, while Brendan, Blake, Belle, Brittany, and Birdie are with Professor Utonium and Mrs. Keane-Utonium. We now join our fabulous brawn-and-brain couple who has some plans after their training. Blossom: So, Butch, what do you feel like having tonight? We can make chicken stir-fry and summer rolls if you’re up for it. Butch: Sounds great, Bloss. I’m in the mood for that. Especially after our training. Man, that was intense. Blossom: Indeed. I have to say that your punches and kicks manage to be as forceful as ever, you big stud. Butch (chuckles): Well, your different types of kicks are to die for, babe. (Butch tickles Blossom.) Blossom (laughing): Oh, Butch, stop. Narrator: How adorable. But, what’s this? It looks like there are some thugs following Butch and Blossom and they especially want the latter. (As Butch and Blossom continue to walk, the thugs luridly approach Blossom. Two of them are huge and bulky. One is wearing a grey shirt, black pants, combat boots, and is a brown-skinned skinhead while the other is bigger than the former with fair skin, reddish-brown hair, a white shirt, blue jeans, and a blue-green hat. The other two thugs are smaller in stature and paler in skin color with one wearing a purple mohawk and the other having strawberry-blonde hair.) Mohawk Thug: Hey, cutie pie. You look so fine tonight. Strawberry-Blonde Thugh: Yeah, I would love to go down your short shorts. Skinhead Thug (to Butch): You better step aside, buster. Green-Blue Hat Thug: Because this fine piece of meat is gonna be ours. Blossom: I am not going to be yours tonight. And that gentleman you just called buster is my husband. Now leave us alone. (Blossom punches the Mohawk Thug.) Mohawk Thug: Oooh, you feisty. I love ’em that way. Blossom: Butch, show these goons your muscles so that they’ll know who they’re dealing with. Butch: Roger that, Blossom. (Butch raises his arms, flexes his biceps, and emits a lion’s roar.) Butch: ROAR!!! Strawberry-Blonde Thug (sardonically): Oooh, I’m scared. The big, scary husband has such well-shaped muscles. Well, you ain’t the only one. (The strawberry-blonde thug signals the green-blue hat thug and the skinhead thug to come over. In response to Butch’s bicep flexing, the two bulky thugs do the most muscular pose.) Skinhead Thug: Think you can take us down, tiny? (Butch is doing the most muscular pose.) Butch: Bring it on, bastards. Strawberry-Blonde Thug (pulls out a knife): I’m gonna enjoy going down your pussy, Little Miss Pink and Red. Blossom: My private parts are not for your taking. HIYA!!!! (With that Blossom gives the strawberry-blonde thug a powerful uppercut making him drop the knife and losing a couple of teeth.) Blossom: HA! YA! YA! YA! YA! YA! HYAH! HWAH!!!! (Blossom proceeds to deliver a barrage of punches to the strawberry-blonde thug’s abdominal area, a headbutt, and a roundhouse kick to the right cheek. By surprise, the bulky thug with the blue-green hat approaches Blossom, grabs her by the head, and slams her to the wall.) Butch: BLOSS!!! Mohawk Thug: Look behind you! (pulls out his knife) HYAH! (Butch dodges the mohawk thug’s knife attack and counters it by holding him in a chokehold with his left hand, thus dropping the knife.) Butch (with intense anger in his eyes): You think you can attack me and my wife, huh, loser. Grrrrr… (Butch tightens his grip, as the Mohawk thug is gasping for air. Meanwhile, Blossom is recovering from the bulky green-blue hat wearing thug’s slam attack, as she regains consciousness.) Blossom: You know you shouldn’t do that to a woman. Now you’re gonna pay. HWAH! YAH! TAH! RAH! GRAH! (Blossom delivers a barrage of punches to the bulky green-blue hat wearing thug, thus making him lose his teeth and spew some blood in the process.) (She then knocks him out cold.) Blossom: You were never any match for me, cretin. (Back to Butch, he still has the Mohawk thug under his forceful chokehold and slams him to the ground.) Butch: That’ll teach ya. (The huge skinhead thug surprise Butch with a bearhug.) Skinhead Thug: Grrrrrr…Hahahaha…Now, I’m gonna squeeze the life out of you, tiny. Butch: Ngh…Ngh…Not if I knock you out first. Haaaa…RAH!!!!! (With that, Butch gives the huge skinhead thug a forceful headbutt and an elbow to the cheek.) Butch: Hope you’re prepared for your punishment, ya neanderthal. Skinhead Thug: Bring it on,…
Ah, male bonding between two young men like Kenta and Kenta, a strong, handsome, and tough father like Inuyasha and two awesome uncles like Ginta and Kiibo.

So, feast your eyes on Inuyasha, Ginta, Kiibo, Kenta, and Keita and let their muscular physiques entice you. Inuyasha and Ginta from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.

This piece of Inuyasha fanart is dedicated to a very dear friend, a down-to-earth person, and fellow DeviantArtist, Critterz11, who makes such lovely pieces of work and who’s personality is always pleasing. So, Critterz, have a most blessed, prosperous, and awesome birthday, keep on being the fine artist that you are, and see you on the flipside. What’s not to love about Inuyasha, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran together as one badass, tough, strong, and awesome four-person group? Or even have Inuyasha/Ayame and Ginta/Shunran as cute, lovely, fantastic, and great couples? Well, there’s a lot to love about these four. Whether they kick butt together or have moments of intimacy, there is surely never a dull nor sappy moment. Moreover, it’s always a pleasure seeing Inuyasha and Ginta being the tall, handsome, fierce, muscular Alpha Males that they are and their darling wives, Ayame and Shunran, being the tough, brave, strong women that they are who are always more than willing to open up a large can of whoop-ass. Such is the bliss of seeing these badass, gallant guardians together as one formidably unbreakable team. Well, Critterz11, I hope you enjoyed this piece of work and until then, blessed be on your very special day. Inuyasha, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise.
My love for Enok/Rahan as a BroTP has been growing stronger and stronger every time. Speaking of strong, Enok and Rahan demonstrate that they are the type of men who firmly convict that lifting weights is essential for every jungle warrior. Isn’t that right, you guys? Enok: Indeed it is. Rahan: Besides, we got a few words to say to the audience. Me: Okay, fire away. (Enok and Rahan continue to lift their dumbbells.) Enok: Hey, you. Yes, you, you lazy fool. What are you doing? Hating on us? Rahan: Stop hating. Start lifting. Enok: And as for the rest of you, you like these muscles don’t you? (Enok then shows how his biceps contract and relax when lifting his dumbbells.) Rahan: That’s right. Look at them. Look closely at these muscles. (Rahan also shows how his biceps contract and relax when lifting his dumbbells.) Enok: We warriors have to lift in order to survive and fight. Rahan: But if you don’t like seeing us lift. Tough. We don’t even know why you’re here. Enok and Rahan: Grrrrrrr…… (Enok and Rahan keep lifting their dumbbells.) Me: Well, folks, there you have it. Is it any reason why these two are such powerhouses and still look phenomenal to this very day? One cannot help but be amazed at just how strong, determined, and fierce Enok and Rahan really are. This has been Antoni Garcia reporting from the Dark Age jungles. So, Enok, Rahan, you guys have any last words to our viewers at home. (Enok and Rahan put down their dumbbells.) Enok: Sure. Rahan: And it’s also dedicated to our awesome wives. The very people who have been very supportive of us and always had our backs. (Enok flexes his pecs, shows his back muscles, and turns back to show his deltoids.) Enok: The chief is in session, especially for you my beloved and sweet Tetya. (Tetya is watching at home from her crystal source and she lets out a high-pitched giggle.) Tetya: Oh, my brave and proud, Enok. (Rahan flexes his back muscles, his deltoids, and does some pec bouncing.) Rahan: Me Rahan. King of the Jungle. You Noama, the queen of Rahan’s jungle. (raises his eyebrows in a suave manner.) (Noama is also watching from Tetya’s crystal source.) Noama: Hehehehe. Oh, Rahan. Enok: And now… Rahan: The big finale. (Enok and Rahan gradually raise their arms and flex their biceps first at each other and then they face to the front.) Enok and Rahan: ROAAAARRR!!!! Me: Well, there you have it, two awesome, brave, and totally ripped jungle warriors who have shown their work. It was really nice talking to you, guys. Enok: The pleasure is ours, my friend. Rahan: No problem, brother. Enok, Rahan, and Me: See you later. Enok and Rahan from Rahan: Son of the Dark Age belong to Roger Lecureux, Pascal Morelli, Marc du Pontavice, and Xilam.
