Hello there! Last post as Jolty, and I promised a lot of pics, and trust me, there are a LOT of pics for today.

I've had fun finding pics and just sort of shoving them up. I know I get a bit lazy sometimes (i.e. every day that's 'HEY LET'S HAVE CATS' is a lazy day, also I like cats a lot, I think you can tell by now) but overall it's been more enjoyable than anything else.

Honestly I don't think I have that much to say. I'm glad people enjoyed the posts! And every time someone comments with something like 'well, looking at spiders has actually helped a little' I get kinda happy, and I know it doesn't work for everyone and some people are pretty uncomfortable still and block all the spider pics and scroll by really fast and I've kinda refrained from saying this for a while but- honestly, getting over fear by small bits of exposure to what you're scared of in a only really works if you're actually letting the exposure happen.

If you don't want to look at the pics at all, ok! No problem, I get that, they're not your thing. Even with the 'normal' animals, some of the pics aren't going to be ok with everyone either, like snakes and bugs and stuff. And there's also nothing wrong with being scared of things- but if you'd LIKE to tackle that, then slowly- very slowly, one day at a time- learning about what you're scared and figuring out why you're scared might help. Still, to each his own and all that. Sometimes what works for one person doesn't work for other people, I get it. But hearing people go 'that won't work' without even trying, that's a little bit of a bummer to me.

Frankly, I'm a bit twitchy around spiders myself. I don't mind looking at them IRL! But if one is near me I tend to sort of look at it a bit warily- you have your space, spiderbro, I have mine- and the one time a spider jumped on me I jumped back and then sent it flying and felt really guilty for ages after that but it seemed fine so that was ok.

Anyway, I probably won't be posting much after this. I've always been more of a lurker, anyway, and honestly I read more of FS through things people link me than anything else. If anyone wants to contact me, though, for whatever reason, just PM Jolty's journal or something! I'll be there.

One last thing, though. I've been posting all the pictures to entries on Jolty's journal. They've been locked until now, but since I'm done with it, well... everything's open now! Only thing is I kept meaning to but haven't yet tagged the post, so you can browse them in whatever order you want but there's no handy-dandy tag system to bring up all cat posts. Will I ever get around to that? Well- maybe, one of these days, but I can't promise it'll be any time soon, I'm afraid.

TL;DR: It was fun and I like cats and spiders and I like you too.


So, with that said and done, here are the pics for today!

Animals ahoy!

Aw. So long and thanks for all the pics. :D

Your posts were always very enjoyable.

Great thread today. Baby snake!

Thank you so much for months of fantastic, engaging, educational posts. I've really enjoyed checking your threads and will miss you!

I like your spiders. You made go from, "Oh, a spider. Let me get my shoe to squish it!" in real life to, "Oh, a spider. Hey, it's one of those jumping ones. Let me grab my magnifying glass. Oh, you are so cool. Okay, let's take you outside."

On behalf of all the spiders in my house, thank you.

I just wanted to say thank you for keeping this going so long! It's been great fun to look forward to every day.

Also, while I can't look at the spiders every day (I seem to be better with the tiny, eye-lashed jumpers than the web-spinners) it has actually kind of helped! Not completely, no, and anything bigger than a pinhead still gives me panic attacks if I see it irl, but a tiny little black spider of indeterminate origin has been living in the corner of our downstairs bathroom for weeks now, and as long as it stays in its little corner whenever I'm in there, we're totally cool.

It's a very tiny start (in multiple ways, haha) but every little bit helps. So yeah, tl;dr, thank you! So don't be too bummed out, okay? *offers all the e-hugs*

[rosehiptea]

Aw, I'm going to miss you and your spiders!

I especially love today's teensy snake.

Let me just thank you so much for making all these threads! They made me happy so many times. Just...you're awesome.

[forgottenjester]

I will miss you.

Thank you so much.

damn, the end of an era...

Aww jolty, you've been great. I've looked forward to your posts every day, thank you so much for bringing a smile to my face.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for these and all the other pics. They have been a bright and cheerful spot in every FS post.

[helishdreams]

Thanks so much for doing this, you've been awesome xD the daily cuteness has been much appreciated :)

[spicandspan89.livejournal.com]

I always appreciated the bonus info you included along with the gorgeous pics plus a link to the source. It must have been a lot of work, and I hope you know how appreciated it was.

[kijikun]

I'm impressed you just showed a picture of a spider and I did not freak the fuck out. It looks...cute. Omg.

[cakemage]

I'm sorry to see your posts end, and I'm sorry that I had to adblock every single spider picture to avoid panic attacks and nightmares. No, really. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm really glad they helped others lessen their fear, and I really wish it could have worked for me, too, because I hate being afraid. At any rate, while I can't on my own behalf appreciate your dedication to posting spider pictures, I can certainly appreciate them on others' behalves.

[agentcthulhu]

Thank you for all the cute pictures! I got to see a lot of interesting and unusual animals and learn about them at the same time - spiders are a lot more varied and intriguing than I'd ever thought. Thank you, too, for filling everyone's requests - especially the tentacled ones. (I'm sorry if I didn't thank you for the nautilus pictures. They were much appreciated. ♥)

Will you be posting as Socky and Doody in the future, or will you be 100% Anon? I hope you'll stick around. I like you as well!

Re: triggers

[elialshadowpine]

Aww. I'm going to miss your posts. They've been a bright spot for me for awhile, and while I know some people have complained about the spiders, they have actually helped with my phobia a lot. (My phobia used to be "run to the bathroom and puke" if one got too close level, so that I say it has helped is MAJOR.)

TY for everything you've done here and best of luck to you <3

[ryttu3k]

Thanks ♥

Thank you for your consistant animal features. They have been appreciated. <3
