When I was in law school I was struggling with the worst depression and anxiety combo of my life. I hated going to school, I hated studying, I hated how trapped I felt because I'd paid all that money and hated everything about what I was doing.
I started putting on vods of people playing Minecraft while I was studying to distract me from how frustrated I was. I put on Wilbur Soot, admittedly, because he was a cute looking guy with a British accent and then I fell in love with his content.
I remember the late night streams with a guitar and relating to how, hey, yeah, that's me too. I get it. The things that keep you up at night and that parasocial relationship with a screen that can't answer you back was a strong pull.
I followed his content casually when I was finishing school. And then Covid happened. I got more invested. DSMP happened. I finally gave in and started watching streams live. I gave in and joined fandom.
I made friends. So many friends. I've traveled so much. I've met people and listened to so much music and gotten into arguments with strangers and slept on people's couches and sat in the fucking dessert in August. I don't regret a moment of it. I loved it.
But I can't support someone who is a dangerous person. I won't speculate, or make this about him, other than to please use common sense. The same reason we all critiqued another's creators fans for sticking by him applies here.
I've run an update account about this guy for a while now. Through the nature of looking up articles, finding clips to share, and asks and submissions we receive, I end up with a lot of info I never wanted. But I can't ignore what that information tells me about the person I've been supporting.
I feel like this is an active grieving process. I skipped denial pretty quick, but bargaining has happened. Parasocial or whatever, but so have tears. Anger. So much anger and disappointment. Fear about the relationships I've built and a growing emptiness of feeling like a hobby and community I've loved is now just gone and that it's For A Good Reason. Guilt because someone was hurt, truly hurt, and supporting them has to come first but I am also just. Sad.
Quiet, aching sadness over the loss of not some dude whose content I watched, but every other little thing I'll miss about being around and always having something to look forward to and people to laugh with me about it.
Please be patient. Be kind. Pay attention to red flags and support those trying to work through their own abuse and neglect. I'm sad now, but they need support more than any fan of a band ever would.

Having a full time job is the worst thing that's happened to me, but i also wouldn't have money to live/insurance if i didn't, i hate this. And i can't stand living with others so that's also not an option. I don't want to waste my life like this, I don't have the time i need for my passions (ART) even though i don't go out or see people or anything to save time (not that its even safe to with the pandemic). I'm so behind on all the things I want to do even though I literally cut out sleep as much as physically possible to save time...

This really wasn't another content more rather, a sad one because another family of mine has been taken away and I saw how this little one struggled, I tried my best to revive her back but sadly she did not able to survive her sickness
I felt shit and devastated, added that there's a big storm here, we could even gabe her a proper burial, I was frustrated today that I just want to cry until I tired myself out
Sorry for the sad update, I really don't want this to happen either, I was just so fed up that fron 2020 - 2023 there's always another member of my family was slowly taking from us away
I hope you had a wonderful time with my Stepdad and my Dad from the heavens, Rosie💖 We'll miss you😔
