The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out
on the 1st of every month to one truly outstanding deviant.
The Deviousness Award for March 2013 goes to Lintu47.
Hey there
For those of you that may not know me yet, on dA I’m Lintu47, a dedicated member of this community since December 2006, that is sometimes believed to be a bot due to being spotted everywhere lol. In real life, I’m a 22 y/o med student that grew up surrounded by animals. I love cats 
and I have one Siamese lady, but over the years I’ve also had 3 budgies. I am scared of dentists, don’t like elevators very much and absolutely hate the metal against metal sound. Oh and I quit smoking 
Let me tell you about that day. I started my day normally, woke up at 6 am, went to the hospital, then to a doctor’s appointment; afterwards I went to visit a friend’s bar and ended up staying late there, chatting with my friends. I got home pretty late in the evening, worrying about not being online all day and thinking that I was so tired that I would probably not be able to finish all my work for that day. When I opened my laptop and the dA tab showed up I was surprised to see I had so many messages; I found that suspicious but I decided to take care of them the next day – first I had to congratulate the artists that were DD’d and make my weekly poll. At some point, while commenting I scrolled down a bit too much and saw my avatar in the Deviousness section, so I started reading: “Lintu47 always demonstrates…” Wait, what?!
I went numb because I couldn’t figure out for the world what was I doing there. Then I thought “Meh, it has to be a mistake” and went back to commenting. 10 minutes later, after going through some of the messages I initially said I will deal with the next day, I realized all was real, but still felt like all of these happened to another person, mainly because I didn’t felt I deserved it and partly because geesh, did you see how many amazing people are here?! How was it possible that I of all people was suggested and chosen for this month’s award? The next day I also felt like I was answering another person’s correspondence, but afterwards the shock went away and I really started to enjoy the feeling of immense appreciation I received.
This represents the one prestigious distinction I never dreamed of receiving, that’s why I was in denial and that’s why I’m so happy now – but not so much because of the title of being the Deviousness Award recipient, but because I know people stood behind it and believed in me. Behind all this sudden popularity I see my friends’ support, my fellow deviants’ love and for me that’s worth more than the title itself.
The feeling you get when you know your activity is appreciated is unbelievable, but this doesn’t change me as a person, it only makes me want to work more to feel worthy for such a distinction – you won’t hear me saying “Oh, I’m a senior, I got the Deviousness Award, now I will retire” because I’m not here for the awards - don’t get me wrong, I love the appreciation and It really enriched my dA experience, but I will still be me, commenting on DDs, saying Happy Bday, working in groups and handling my personal projects because that’s what I love doing
This girl deserves a billion rewards just for the happiness she's spread! (And knowing her, she'd give them away to spread it even more!
)If you knew Cristina before you read this, you know what I'm talking about. And if you didn't, just say hi to her! You'll be amazed. Really, you will.
In short, congratulations for the Deviousness Award, Cristina. You completely deserve it, and I hope that you'll keep being amazing for many years to come!

"You're a very community-involved deviant, spreading positivity basically everywhere! posting journal features, suggesting DDs, contributing to groups, etc. What motivates you to do all this?
The feeling I get when I see I made someone’s day better - that’s what keeps me doing all this work. It’s also the fact that I want to be an inspiration for others, a positive model for the community – it’s great when I hear “What you do is lovely, I will start helping/featuring others too”.
What's the thing you like the most about DA and what's the main thing you would change about it if you could?
I love the community; the friends i made here, and even
As for what I’d like to change… well, those that know me also know the fact that Sta.sh and I aren’t great friends… but the one thing I’d like to change at this moment is the limit of groups you can admin – up to 15?
If you were a guy, who would you go gay for?
Aaah, the gay question!
I think this answer comes as natural as breathing since gays are normal people and they work the same way as heterosexuals do. Your question though doesn't say if I’d already be gay or not, so:
if I’d be gay I’d be with the guy I’d be in love with if I’d be a hetero male I’d go gay for a younger Anthony Hopkins – he’s exquisite! (he’s the one male celebrity everyone knows about that I could take into consideration).
