Minnow Adoptions....

in adoptaminnow •  7 years ago  (edited)

Twenty-Seven days ago, I made a post about adopting a minnow.  The process has been fun and entertaining.  My version of why I needed a minnow and what I would do for a minnow were outlined Here

*another great skill that @brandyb brought was putting her head on fish pictures!  That is amazing.  Isn't she amazing!

I've decided to adopt a Minnow.  Not just adopt, but live vicariously through you co-dependently.  Not just adopt though, to take an unnatural, over-involved interest in a minnow's life
If you are adopted, I will live for your success or failure.
I will over-estimate your successes and become over-involved in your failures
I will brag about you even when you don't deserve it.  I will post about how fabulous you are even if you are barely average.
I will nag you and give you unsolicited advice
I will upvote you just to keep you happy, I will demand that others acknowledge your talents and shame them for upvoting others over you.
I will quickly tire of you when you become self sufficient and can no longer meet my need to be needed
Since my own success is moderate at best, I hope to catapult you past my own level and remind you for the rest of our lives, how I am responsible for all of your victories.If you are interested in becoming my online project giving me illusions of making a difference and a smug sense of personal importance, please apply below.  I will focus on you until I lose interest.  Likely about a month, after which I will forever remind you that I launched your career.Please let me know how you can fulfill my need to be needed below..Must be a small account with less than 1k SteemPower, a history of PoweringUp, and some reasonable content.For the rest of you feeling unloved, you should adopt a minnow also, everyone needs an indentured servant. 


So, Initially I thought this would just be a fun post, but I have really enjoyed the project.  If you haven't been following along, it was all in fun and I selected @brandyb for her sense of humor, (The ability to understand it was all in fun)  Her content and also because she is interesting and fun.  In the process I gained getting to know someone a little better.  It turns out I really like her.  Some day, I hope she will adopt a minnow of her own.

We have about a week of our relationship left and then @brandyb will be abandoned with all my other old projects.  Except from time-to-time, as she is destined to be great, I will remind her that I once helped her.  ;)   (a joke)

So, in the next round.... I think minnows will make a vlog  a post or a song putting themselves up for adoption and using the tag #adoptaminnow

I am just letting you know in advance so you can consider the project and think about it creatively...   I am also going to look for other large minnows/dolphins and whales that are interested in adopting.

Get ready for the #adoptaminnow project.  If you haven't checked out @brandyb please do so now!

@whatsup, You are Best Adopter here in whole community,

Your Selection to Adopted a minnow @brandyb is right. she is really talented.
Appreciated. your Decision.

I think minnows will make a vlog a post or a song putting themselves up for adoption and using the tag #adoptaminnow

Very interesting your next project. i Hope for its sucess,.

I am glad you are enjoying it. :) Thank you for your support.

I'm keeping an eye on @brandyb. She is growing up like crazy. Is she taking Vitamin S for STEEM?

Steem On!

I can't believe it's 27 days already. I was one of the four(?) finalists you chose. I did not know that I was battling against such sweetness in the winner. I would have put my head on a piranha to scare the living daylight out of her. I know a thousand other bearded piranhas who got nothing on their minds but to eat their way up the steemchain. It just really unfair she decided to make herself that irresistible. Good initiative you have set rolling here. Really applaudable.

Awesome combination minnow mom of @whatsup and adopted minnow @brandyb. Sure....she's very talented and we can see her success in future..

This is a lot of fun
thank you for that
This is really what I like about steemet
I hope to achieve success like you. @whatsup

This is amazing. @whatsup ❤❤
@brandyb
He's really a great blogger I have topics at the top of the tender. :D

This could be a language thing, she is really great... and she is also a she! :)

@brandyb am following you now . Starting days are very difficult on steemit
But if you have someone who support then it will become very easy.
@whatsup the picture really funny and in few days @brandyb will turned
into dolphin or shark.
Upvoted!

But @whatsup are you saying that people with 1000 steem power are already made that they don't need help?

No, not at all, I still want more steem also! There has to be a point of focus though.

Alright.

Brandyb is a good blogger

I can't tell you how many times I've seen what was a joke at first, turned out to be something quite real but still fun! Haha...

True

Yes of course @brandyb is best ... im waiting her new post
Thanks for teaching about steemit
Happy steeming

Thanks sir @whatsup...for upvote me...
Stay blessed
Happy steeming

Thanks for sharing your great experience . I am glad that the reason for the establishment of a successful project was just a joke that was not that serious but the coincidence of life How many successful projects were based on a joke . I wish you good luck .

I wish @brandyb for her next journey to a whale and its all looking nice and inspirational for minnows like us.

Thank you to @whatsup also for this initiative.

Steem on and stay blissful...

Looks like the "minnow" you adopted is actually a dolphin.
She was making about the same as you before you adopted her.
lol
:D
ima follow just cause u said too.
:P

Can I be the next adoptee for #adoptaminnow?

Get ready to make a post or a video about why you would be a great minnow to adopt! Going to start asking for it next week.

Alright @whatsup. What would be the main tag? #adoptaminnow?

i am waiting for the project concerned enthusiastically @whatsup

I love the way you supported a minnow and made him successful. I wish more people should come forward and support your great idea #adoptaminnow. I'm in @whatsup.

A dolphin could adopt a couple of minnows, a whale could adopt a town of minnows and we could all grow and prosper together! way to go @whatsup, happy new year and may your light shine upon a lucky one. and may you find much success in this new year...
