RE: An Important Message From The Messenger About How Sometimes Shutting Up Is A Good Thing
Three times in the past week and enough times since I've been here, I've been accused of being lazy because some of my posts are short and sweet.
Are you fucking kidding me?! Who does this?!
You've had some short posts recently. Who cares??
I'm not sure how anyone can have the nerve to bitch about your content when it is clearly some of the highest-effort writing on the art side of this platform. Personally, I'm perfectly content to accept a completely empty post with a few artworks in it. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But you make an effort to share the words as well as the pictures, and that is one of the reasons I so thoroughly enjoy your blog.
As you said, if they don't like your variety of art, that's their prerogative. That's fine. I suppose that technically it's also their right to flag, criticise, and even send you personal messages accusing you of laziness.
I wouldn't pay any heed though. Can't please all the people all of the time. Some people have a perpetual stick up their arse.
Looking forward to your next post, be it short or long.
Maybe not so much being directly told I'm being lazy, but that's what I'm hearing when someone gripes about the short posts and fails to recognize the work that went into the art. I did get a direct message asking me if I was okay, "Your posts have been quite short lately. Not as much effort. Is everything okay?" My left eyelid starts twitching.
It's not a big deal but I feel it's worth reminding people. And yeah, people can say whatever they want but it would help to at least know what you're talking about before you say it.
