‘Twas the night before Christmas on DeviantArt,
Not a paintbrush was stirring, and creators took heart.
The artists scrolled through Daily Deviations with care
Knowing kindred warm-fuzzies soon would be there.

I have only been on Deviantart for a short time compared to others, but when I first started in December last year, I found it very easy to navigate and explore.
The changes (which seem like they'll go ahead whether they listen to this or not) threaten the way we interact with and use Deviantart. By replacing the
