It's silly how the album is so sad but it still manages to comfort me, the sound is just really beautiful. It came out just at the right time, when I couldn't really express all the emotions I had building up and it was like a burden, but every time I listened to the album it was like the music was expressing everything for me, it really did make life a little easier for me. and it still does, even though those emotions aren't there anymore, not as much at least. It still feels like home, its really beautiful
I’ll use this as a vent because I doubt many people will see it. I found Wilbur when your new boyfriend came out. A simple recommended song on Spotify which lead me to find hours and hours of comfort in one man’s content and music. 2020 was one of the worst periods of my life. With Covid came depression, however Wilbur came with it too, and he may have saved my life. I knew all of his songs, knew all of the lyrics to them like the back of my hand. I stayed and was there when lovejoy released their first couple of songs. I was there for dozens of streams, dozens of teasers to songs which I memorized. I stopped watching so much of his content after Technoblade passed. However I kept on listening to his music and lovejoy’s. I went to lovejoy’s concert and had the time of my life. Then Shelby comes out with the news. And if I’ve never hated tiktok more in my life for having exploded my for you page with the news. I fell down a rabbit hole and learnt everything I could about it. I’m at war with myself on who to believe. If Shelby isn’t lying, then I support her fully. Yes I believe this should be about her and not Wilbur, but there are so many of us which needed Wilbur and his content like no one’s ever needed him. For so many of us, this hurts like a bullet through the heart. The level of betrayal I feel is unreasonable for the fact that this is only a persona he put on for the camera. I believe change is real. I always have, and I always will. And yes, this belief of mine has shot me in the foot several times, yet, I persist with it. It’s been a while since they dated, and maybe he has changed. Maybe he hasn’t. Maybe he will change, maybe he’ll never. Maybe he’s better, maybe he will get better, and maybe he never will. And I don’t think we will ever know. And that thought bothers me, but brings me comfort at the same time. I wonder if he’ll come back, maybe prove to us he’s better…but I can’t say I’m very hopeful about that. What I do know is that his music saved my life. And I will forever listen to his songs. I’ve picked up learning how to play the guitar and I will try my best to learn them. I will forever love my music. It still hurts to listen to them. Hurts like betrayal does. But, that feeling will pass. The resent I have will fade. It will never be like it was, and that’s okay. I miss you, Wilbur. And I hope you’re okay.
i feel exactly the same, will is so freaking important to me and i just hope he is alright, i still suport him but specially his art, thanks for sharing your thoughts it has made me realize i am not alone. and neither you are
for awhile i couldn’t listen to his voice because i was so disgusted- but then i realized he can change and grow. he probably already has so now it’s a lot easier to still listen to his music. thank you for you perpesctive on it :)
this cover means so much to me... not only was posted a day after my birthday, it made me feel like i was not that alone in this crazy world. At that time at least, it was the pandemic at that time... so in some way, thank you.
i don't wish anything bad on you Will, i really hope you get the help you said you were getting, i really hope it isn't a lie either and you can just go back and say "i did it, i'm feeling better now, i'm content with myself now"
you had to go mess it all up dawg this cover meant so much to me and now it's ruined because of your actions this cover got me through a dark time in my life and to find out the person that made the cover is not who they say they are is one of the most disheartening things to ever find out i really hope youre getting help for your actions and not staying the same
Your and Lovejoy's music saved me from suicide and so many future attempts. What is happening now is hard, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.. Right? Take care of yourself and don't do anything stupid, we love you and wait for your re-arrival. See you in the future Legend<33
This album became a little bit of a anger/sadness management therapy for me. I know you told us YCGMA was a gift for us as you didnt relate to it anymore, its what I feel about this album. My sadness, my anger, the buzz on my ears comes out whenever I give it a listen, so when "Trying not to think about it" comes by, I can think of who I am and not who I was. Just wanted to share a bit of what youve left in me. Dont be too hard on yourself, with regret and acceotance of our mistakes a better version of ouraelves can shine through. You don't own us anything. If usa is kind to you, live your dream. If you don't want to come back, its fair too. Thank you for everything and hope you get a bit of what you gave us in the future. Be kind.

Your music warms my heart, it brings a sense of peace and comfort in a world that I rarely ever experience peace. As an autistic person, I spent most my life in search of safety, something I struggled to find for years, your content brings me that safety. Your content acts as a warm hug, a small comfort of a tea after a long day or the familiarity and consistency that it so hard to find in life. The last four years that I've watched your content, I've grown and changed as a person - as I'm sure I will continue to do. Growing with me, holding my hand as I walked was your music, the soundtrack to my life, a reminder of who I was and how far I've come - Without it I'm not sure I would've managed. From Your City Gave Me Asthma through Lovejoy to Mammalian Sighing Reflex, it's helped me confront my issues, learn my worth and been both the reason I realised I had to escape a dangerous situation and the escape itself. I wish I could give that gift back tenfold as I am endlessly grateful. I had no idea it was possible to finally find my peace but for the first time in years, I feel free. Thank you Will, thank you to the ends of the earth. No matter what you may or may not have done - as we as viewers will never truly know - you cannot take back the safe space you gave me, you cannot take back the love and support your art managed to give to thousands of people like myself, you cannot give back the gift that you gave me: the gift of peace. Thank you - Banshee <3
Wilbur saved me from so many suicide attempts and when i found out about what he did he caused one. Wilbur is sickening to me now. I would say I won't forgive him but I'm not the one who should say that. Yet, I still listen to his work. Rarely, yes, but only because it reminds me of him and makes me cry. I want to believe in separating art from the artist but with how much he fucked up, I can't.
Hey Will im Sky i highly doubt your reading this but i just wanna say that i hope you're doing ok and stay safe and you are always welcome to take a break if you want to - Sky (aka a silly goat) Ok i can tell this comment is going to get alot of hate but idc y'all can read this but I don't wanna be attacked
According to these songs, it seems that he regrets the things he did to those people, and we forgive you, wilbur, you need to come back, we will be waiting, no matter if you think that people won't come to your streams, your wrong, we will be here for you, i swear.<3
I know you're probably not reading the comments anymore, but i hope you're doing okay right now. Don't listen to any haters and don't do anything stupid. Take care of yourself and take the break you need because you really deserve it. -leo #wilbursupportsquad
