13 things about me...
And then the tagger's questions, answered:
1. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert in almost all respects. A bit toned down when I talk online, but I still avoid talking most of the time.
2. Which deviation are you the most glad about making?
Admittedly... nothing. Never really been proud of any of the stuff submitted here in particular; I just put stuff here for anyone curious enough to even care about what sort of things I make.
3. Which deviation are you the least glad you made?
I can't mention anything specific, really. Eenie meenie...
4. What is your favorite type of art?
I like stuff that involves patterns, minimalism, and "perfect fits". Yeah, I know, it's not too coherent.
5. What is your opinion on vegetarians and vegans?
... not much. It's a matter of preference, though they're just overreacting with their extremist views on "animal" (i.e. only the notable alphabet animals... you get the point) rights. (No, I'm definitely not vegan.)
6. If one fantasy animal or creature existed, which one would you want it to be?
Arguably one of the most common choices, I'd go with a dragon.
I don't want it to exist right here and right now, though, for several reasons that would take a whole worldbuilding-scenario essay to explain.
7. What do you think describes a great leader?
A person who can inspire others who pursue their individual goals for the overall betterment of a group.
8. What is the first video game you've ever played?
First non-children-oriented game? Probably... Minecraft, at around 2011. (It's technically not children-oriented, no matter what people say or think about it, and regardless of the majority of its players.)
(And yes, I wasn't one of those cool kids who grew up with a console/handheld console or whatnot. Probably why I'm not a big fan of all highly-beloved Nintendo games.)
9. What was the most fun you've ever had on the internet?
Probably from messing around by psuedo-RPing in the MCForum off-topic section, though I can't tell for sure.
10. What sport do you like the most?
I don't do sports much.
11. What is the most amount of hours you have been asleep? You have been awake?
Can sleep for about 12-13 hours. Can also stay awake for... a day, until I just literally fall asleep.
12. What is your favorite quote from anyone?
"Teenage life is a lovely confusion."
13. What do you think of this time period of human history, AKA the one you're living in right now?
People are trying to be more aware of the lingering issues in society right now. I'm at a cynical-optimist/realist point of view at this: I know people can be very messed up or straight up disturbing at times (morally, though that depends on your beliefs... I try hard to be neutral on this), but I also know that they're capable of changing for the better, and it's just a matter of nudging them to the right direction. Not enough people care about it though, what with all those who simply don't give a flying fuck about humanity simply because "they're doomed to themselves anyways," and just shuns everyone who tries to actually do good things.
And some (optional) questions for those tagged:
And some people who may optionally answer those questions: (tags)
(I don't require anyone here to answer these at all, so feel free to ignore my tags and go on with your lives. Sorry for disturbing.)
(And I don't even have more than 10 friends here... so, whatever, I'll tag people I've talked to at least once somewhere.)
And I'm all out.

13 things about me...
- I'm not really proud of my own work, as they never pass my own standards.
- I'm a night owl.
- I like singing. A lot. With a slightly airy bass voice that fails miserably at extremely high falsettos.
- When I do sing, I always try to match the vocalist's register... even if the vocalist is a high-pitched male/female. Hilarity ensues.
- I like listening to post-2010's pop punk and post-hardcore, though I appreciate some mellow 70's-90's love songs.
- I don't listen to radio pop. Last thing I need is more butts, drugs, selfies, YOLO, and sex from heartbreak girls wrecking trumpets on the chandelier.
- Fourth-wall breaking is my favorite fictional trope, just second to lampshade hanging.
- I easily get insecure with people younger than me who can do better than me at, well... anything at all. (I'm 16 at the moment, turning 17 later this year.)
- I daydream a lot about what I wish to pursue, and how I could be of significance to the world.
- I tend to withdraw myself from almost any communication when I'm stressed.
- I'm admittedly a persistent procrastinator in a lot of things.
- My greatest fear is of having no purpose and direction, or being a detriment to other people's progress.
- I'm socially anxious, almost extremely.

DeviantArtist Questionnaire

1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
I've had an account for about 3 years, though I technically only started being active last year.
2. What does your username mean?
"serin" is simply some letters of my nickname jumbled with some of my brother's. It doesn't really mean anything deep at all.
The "113" stands for November 3 (11/3), i.e. my cake day.
3. Describe yourself in three words.
An ordinary melancholic teenager.
4. Are you left or right handed?
Undoubtedly right-handed.
5. What was your first deviation?
An old desktop setup using Rainmeter and a custom icon set. Submitted it not without anxiety, of course.
(On a side note, I intentionally pick songs to use for screenshots. Have some PTV.
)
6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
Desktop setups (Rainmeter & Conky), mostly.
Also, maybe some pencil line art and typography.

7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Sketching realistic scenes, above all things.
8. What was your first favourite?

Rainmeter skins, drawings/images of dramatic scenes, and (just recently) anthro art.

I can't really mention anyone specific.
11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
Personally, I'd like to meet DarkRyu550 in person, though why so is out of the context of DA.
In the context of DA though, I'd probably want to get to meet thanshuhai.
12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Having not much experience and interactions here, I couldn't really say much other than maybe some marginal inspiration.
13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
A computer, mostly. And the classic pencil and paper.
14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
Literally any scenery that invokes a clear image on my mind.
15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
I probably don't have much experience here to note anything specific at all.
Oh, but of course... happy 15th cake day, DA!

More stuff...
1 min read
Well, just got a new computer about a month ago (preloaded with Windows 8.1, as usual), so I'll be able to make some more Rainmeter setups again \(^O^)/
Of course, it's dual-booted with Arch Linux, 'cause, damn, I loved the thing.
Will be putting up some customized Rainmeter skins I've used before here once I get to packaging them as .rmskin files.
Also been drawing some more stuff, but maybe I'll just put them as scraps for the moment; they're not that good, but at least I could keep track of my progress (if any xD).
Still haven't got to finishing most of my WIPs T.T
