Spider Coccoon

in #art5 years ago (edited)

There was once a spidery contents here but a spider has now put them inside coccoons.... Like Shelob did with Frodo Baggins~ Or maybe like those fleshy things in Aliens before the chestburster bursts out of them~ Yep, like one of those things :D

Sort:  

Sorry to hear people are after you. Guess it is some kind of jealousy...I think your content is great and you're great asset to the art community. Not to mention all your great comments!

Great drawings @veryspider I'm glad you still post on here. What other places did you go to?

Thanks Sander, I appreciate ! So kind of you <3

I didn't go to other crypto based blogs, I went into those non-paying social media places like twitter and insta and so on :D Steemit was my only social media, but now, not anymore ! :D :D :D

I give you my trick sweetie : focus only on what and who you want to make exist in your life, the "real life" or the internet one,
for anything you will focus on will still manifest and the rest will just disappear, we could say like by magic, but better say by lack of attention to it ;-)
I'm waiting for the Libra, my sign 😃 ❤️

Yes, very wise, thank you, Barbara :) !!!

I am definitely focusing into what I want to make ! I am much happier now :D :D :D

Libra will come, for sure <3 Stay tuned~

Thank you for the visit and the comment * ___ * I appreciate it very much \o/

You are our friend and we really care about you. Thank you for speaking out about cyber bullying. Hopefully we can stand strong together in the face of adversity and if not then we will adapt, change and scurry and if that happens, hopefully we find our way back to each other somehow!

Oh, the truth!

I'm also waiting for Libra Barbara and Spider.

The advice from Barbara is spot on. Focus on what makes YOUR heart sing. I know you won't stop making art, it's just finding the best place/places to share it, where you feel 'at home' and others will respond to it ~ And you. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Ally is also Libra? :D That gives me motivations to get there, for sure XD

Thank you, as always for kind words ♥︎

Yes. So pleased to share the same sign as Barbara. Pleased this will motivate you to create a Libran lady now. Kind words come easy for you Spider. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Whoa @veryspider ...

"... I don't know what to tell you but you'd be happy to know that the damage is done months ago, I have branched out of Steemit and am scaling down on my energy spent on this platform. So, be happy."

... stopping by to visit one of your posts and read this?! Not sure what this means or what is behind it, but I was saddened to read you have "... branched out of Steemit and am scaling down ..."

Do you have another post somewhere that discusses what is troubling you? Not that it is really any of my business I suppose, but I was concerned, as I have always enjoyed our interaction.

I hope all is generally well with you!

No, there is no posts anywhere, and besides even if there were, I rather not drama. I dislike dramas, and I try not to speak badly about others behind their backs if I can help it :)

Thank you for your concerns! I am fine :) I took on the negativity as a sign that maybe me and Steemit are not as compatible as I originally thought.

I, too, have always enjoyed our interactions as I find your thoughts valuable, measured, and interesting <3 So keep up being you, Rob!

I will be on Steemit for as long as I can, and I will continue to support others whilst I'm still on the blockchain :D

Yes, well thank you for your reply @veryspider. If it helps any ...

"... as a sign that maybe me and Steemit are not as compatible as I originally thought."

... I've had similar thoughts at times. There is a sort of "wild west" atmosphere at times "in here" that leaves me cold. Actually probably worse than that ...

But ... I try to console myself that what we are all experiencing is in its infancy. If we can manage to hang around until it grows up, who knows ... Maybe we'll look back and feel it was worth it ...

Glad to know you're doing okay. If you ever need a "listening ear," you can always feel free to reach out on Discord.

Until next time, take care "over there!" (a poet and don't know it ...) 😉

Yes, the platform is sure still very young, though it IS in its fourth year now... and yep, I understand what you are saying :D I am not in favour of just abandoning things, or dropping the ball, so I'll be here for as long as I can :)

Thank you, Mr. Poet !!! XD

😉👍😊 Leaving on vacation early in the morning, so time will be (even more) limited over the next couple of weeks ...


P.S. "... though it IS in its fourth year now ..." - yes, some "children" are really slow ...

yes..want to know..

Thank you for the concern :) I am fine, there's nothing to know~ but, yes, thank you!

Yes, me too. I admit to not always clicking to learn more, but I still follow and very much enjoy your work. Didn't know you had frustrations here.

Thank you, @wholeself-in ! I love your blog <3 You bring such valuable contents to the blockchain :)

Yes, frustrations were had, but in the end, it was a good prompt that made me grow...and though it is bittersweet that part of that growth means I can't apportion the same amount of enthusiasm and energy into Steemit, I will continue to support Steemians as I have done for as long as I can :)

Yes, me too. I admit to not always clicking to learn more, but I still follow and very much enjoy your work. Didn't know you had frustrations here.

My vote is more VS drawings no matter where they're posted!

Yay! Thank you, fromie \o/ !!!

Those users who have a problem with you are probably just stupid. Ignore them and post as much as you can. You are incredibly talented and an amazing person.

Haha, thank you Jaundre :) I'm posting, I'm posting~ (just not at Steemit so much) ... :3

I love your talents, your book reviews, your movies, your drawings, your writings, and I appreciate your friendships, and I hope to be able to support your for a long time still ❤️

Steemit won't be the same without you. <3

No libra yet, Saving the best to last I see! I'm not sure what happened, but sad to see you're scaling down, on to new adventures perhaps. It's difficult investing so much energy into something, I find that I am spreading myself thin over platforms, projects and day to day living. I have learnt something new today about the zodiac signs and enjoying the art!

I don't know when Libra is due, but hang on to your pants and we'll get there, Jeremy !

Yeah, new adventures ! \o/ I think it was a good kick up my butts to check out the other social media channels out there, to be honest :) I am also like you, now, spreading myself over a few different platforms. How I was able to invest and engage in such a high level in Steemit was because it used to be the only social media channel I had. But now, it is no longer possible, since there are other places that also need my attention.

Thanks so much for your visit and comments, as always <3 I appreciate!!!!

That's fair enough! As they say, don't place all your eggs in one basket. The community here is very welcoming, however it is good to diversify, I will keep an eye out for you on other platforms then!

I'm really glad that you've branched out (because we all know what happens if you stash all the eggs in one box/basket XD). Much less glad that you're scaling back efforts here, unless you meant with the sheer volume of community stuff you were doing because honestly I have no idea how you work and draw and do THAT much community stuff all at once O_O I'd miss your posts and comments and our occasionally ridiculous conversations ;-;

And on that well don't worry if you didn't have the time or inclination to look into the crypto-related shenanigans:) I was just trying to show that it's actually easy even for people like me so you won't have any problems :)

Cancer looks like she's about to make shit real with those claws and that face XD She facing off Taurus or the two of them about to take some people down?

Yesh! Thank you, fyn !!!! <3

Im scaling back cuz I'm behaving the way I have been behaving at Steemit but elsewhere, and a spider has only so much energy and hours... And yes, I am always very high engagement type of a person, it's just the "where" I put that energy that differ. But I won't just drop and disappear, as it takes time to build things so I will continue to support, and curate, and hold contests and create artists' highlight posts, and post on Steemit for as long as I can :)

Cancer does indeed look like she's not one to mess with XD I dont know if she's friends with Taurus though, since their elements are different, so maybe occasionally friends occasionally enemy?? XD

Yep I know them feels, I’m similar 😵

Glad we’ll have a spodey for the foreseeable future 🙃

''that the damage is done months ago, I have branched out of Steemit and am scaling down on my energy spent on this platform. So, be happy.''
What happened dear Spider?
Please, don't let bad and jealous people influence your art and life..
World if full with them, and art is above them all.
Art is yours, personal, and there will always be someone not liking it..but still there will be more those who love it.
So, please, just skip those '' bad seed'' persons and do your thing.

Oh, Dunja, you are very kind! I appreciate your words very much :)

I don't mind that some people do not like my art, no, not at all ! I think art is subjective and it is fine that some things are not everyone's cup of tea. But I do mind if people gossip about me behind my back, painting me as if I was a 'shady' person whereas they were the ones and they are still the ones that have been behaving poorly.

I will continue to my thing, for sure :) Just not on Steemit :D

Dunja has other social media? Instagram? Twitter? We can hook up outside of Steemit, cuz I'm still very active and definitely very me on those places now XD

Thanks again <3 I love your beautiful spirit and your beautiful talents very much ! You are one of my favourite artists <3333333

I've been off Steemit so much of late not by choice but because I've had to do so much more this season for my rental houses. Now I see you might be going to another platform? That's sad, also what is the platform? Maybe I'll follow?

I always worried when discord became more of a thing on Steemit I started to feel bad as what I LOVED about steemit was it had a very early 2000's blog feel and people engaged IN the comments.

I have tried and failed at Discord. I just can't do it. I can never find people on at the right time and when I do it's often people who have started to really connect and you feel like a third wheel, so I just didn't get anything out of it.

I'm worried now when I have the time to be on here more in the coming months will it be even more different? Oh well, I think this IS the downfall of social media.

I just wish I had an online site that was about art and creativity that rewarded each other and just let us talk about fun things like art, gardening, being creative and that was it and there was no outside link to things like Discord. It was just a closed system that you can go in and out of and enjoy it for what it is.

I hope you don't leave entirely. I'm sad that @scrawly doesn't appear to be on here any longer either :/

Im not moving into another crypto-based blog, Donna :) I'm moving over to the mainstream, non-paying social media places and I've signed up to most of them now, youtube, twitter, instagram, etc.

Discords sure are a different sort of beast to tackle, and some people are not just into chatting and others are pretty into it, I can understand that you find it difficult to engage with.

I wouldn't think that this is the downfall of social media, Donna :) Im sure you will have the time again, in the future, to share with us more of yourself and your arts :) Phases come and go in life, and the most important thing is that if we have built a home for us somewhere, if we have built real bonds and friendships, those people will still be around when you are ready to return :)

I will try not to leave entirely, but yeah, @scrawly seems like they are done with Steemit and I really don't blame them. I am also heading that way, it seems . __ . BUT. I will try to remain, for as long as I can :)

Love your zodiac series - missed them until now! Funny I caught up at Cancer - I have a cancer moon, but i definitiely don't have crabby claws!! Cancer peeps are homebodies and emotional souls. Thank god it's not the only aspect of me or I'd be a mess!

Homebodies and emotional souls, I see ! Then I wildly missed the mark with this drawing XD

Sorry!

I really don't know much about horoscopes, but I'm learning as I am now illustrating them hahaha~
