-aka Cool Story 8ro, Tell Me More-

This story starts a long ago, almost exactly 4 years ago when a much younger and naive Robic signed on dA for the hell of it.
No, not exactly for that; she honestly started thinking about signing after she laughed for months at a series of fan comics about Kingdom Hearts II and being sad for not being able to favorite or comment them.
So WOW she signed! And she posted exactly ONE drawing about Coldplay (after hours spent asking herself "What if everyone will hate it and they will insult me??!!" as if millions of people would have seen it LOL). Then she totally forgot about being in deviantART. (And let me point out that a friend of mine colored it, it wasn't me, I was even worse than now at coloring ='D)
A Coldplay's rest by RobicTheEscapist
Something like 6 months later (XD), I got back here searching for cool drawings and then WOW I noticed I got exactly 2 comments and a watch! You can't imagine the shock. First time in my life someone who was not a family member or a friend appreciated my fanarts... I was positively out of myself of happiness and so honoured <3 So yeah, I slowly tried to post more Coldplay drawings (including my first glorious comic XD) and that's how I knew some nice Coldplayer, particularly :iconkristalsiderglace:, my precious gal who ships Buckin with my same passion and dedication <3 ALL HAIL THE ONE TRUE OTP.
The Coldplay-comics phase was pretty much a long phase, it ended the last year probably and (even if I rarely post things about them now) Chris, J, Will and Guy are the salvation of my life and I love them to pieces <3
Oh and do you know what is another thing I love and I always follow even if I'm not an active fanartist anymore?? NARUTO. My sweet guilty pleasure.
This manga (I follow almost exclusively the manga, yep) gave me some of the most heartbreaking feels ever and it made me feel less alone in this world and it made me laugh and it made me cry and it made me know some sweet redheads OMG Gaara and Sasori are the love of my life, don't take them away from me! <3 You can tell I've drawn a lot of Naruto fanart, mostly because I'm a huge supporter of Kishimoto sensei <3 This Gaara here is my drawing I'm the most proud of... I guess...

Let's not forget that I am and I will always be a gamer girl. I got 2 folders on my gallery for my Okami and Final Fantasy drawings because WOW I'm such a fan of these series... I'm also a fan of the Sonic saga but I used to draw my Sonic OC when I was like 12, I don't feel comfortable with Raven anymore! XD So let's skip to the part when I actually become a dedicate deviant who checks her account everyday: summer 2012.
Much Hetalia, such WOW 
Honestly, I was obsessed by it XD As sad as I could be from the depiction of my country (it's funny but still a pain for me), I was TOTALLY into Hetalia, I was doing anything but drawing about it! That's what I call a fangirl. I've never been a rabid fangirl who writes/draws mad things about characters but I was fairly obsessed.
And I still don't know why I became quite popular then?? Like, in July 2012 I was celebrating my 2000th pageview and 6 months later I had 8000?? Hetalia folks is crazy XD
I'm still an Hetalian but I way calmer fan now, I appreciate it and that's it <3 I stopped searching for fanfictions about it OMG
And thanks to Hetalia I can say I got a deviation that has been downloaded 250 times. It's a lot for me, you know? This 2p!Fem!Russia <3 I'm the massive fan of Nyotalia and 2ptalia, I like them more than the normal versions probably KE SE SE SE SE

And here it comes THE thing. THE HOMESTUCK.
I'm still grateful to a deviant who had a page full of stamps about it, I remember I was all like "Oh man, this boy looks so cool! I want to know everything about him!" and I was staring at Terezi and I was so disappointed when I discovered she's a female XD Anyway you know, after I started reading, my interest slowly moved to another high8lood... <33333333 It was a just a matter of time Vris, I just had to know you to realize that YOU are my lady, the love of my life :heart:
So do you know what we do here, when we like something? We make fanarts about it!
So the massive amount of HS fanart started and it has not stopped yet... Homestuck is also the first fandom that I started drawing in digital art! I got my tablet Ramsay on February 2013 and I swear digital art opened a total new world to me... a world where I can almost color in a decent way pffffffft 
And incredibly my most viewed and favorite deviation is a digital one, this one I'm planning to redraw, one of these days:

And the friends, AH THE FRIENDS! I met some precious fellow Homestucks, thanks to dA <3 I'm going to list only some of them because I don't want to be a bother, but I WILL NEVER NOT LIST: :iconveri119::icongosianica::iconflamingo-sama::iconsariasong64::iconvioletkingdom::iconmaricookie::iconatanapotinija::iconarcaneenchantment::iconhoshinodestiny::icon8bitlowlife::iconmageoofspace::iconleicay-shiuni::iconxxdead-skiesxx: they're all precious to me <3
And then I found the couRAGE to post things about my trollsona Doeret :iconyaydoriplz: and everything got crazier because she was well received and I choose to post more and more and more... and so it began the whole story of Ro8icAndTheCommissions, a story that makes me feel so appreciated and honored... a story that goes on, luckily! I take this chance to thank again everyone who was so nice to commission me, I love you all <3
Now I started uploading one drawing about Game of Thrones... I hope I'll upload more but since this is about REAL people, I'm a little shy about it ='D I mean, also Coldplay are real people, but they are a special case <3

So, long story short: my deviantART account followed and still follows my passions and fandoms and it changes everytime I change; people may mock dA and me but honestly, who gives a damn?? I'll stay here as long as it makes me happy and my dA friends make this a very nice place to me :heart:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY deviantART! And HAPPY dA BIRTHDAY TO ME TOO ^D^
