This may not hold meaning to you, but I’m fully honest when I say that your music, even the covers of other songs, and you as a person has been beneficial to myself and I’d imagine many others in so many ways.

i know it’s been nine months, but i only found this about a month ago. i haven’t stopped listening since. maybe it’s the way you play, or the emotion in your voice, or the faint bird chirping you can hear at one point, but something about this video combined with your singing is absolutely mesmerizing. i’m completely enamored by the way you play so freely, and the genuine smile you wear. you actually inspired me to play guitar, and i’ve been having a go at it for about two months now. i’ve made progress, but i hope one day to play with the same revere for music that you do. it’s very very unlikely that you’ll see this, but of the off chance that you do, thank you. you published this at the beginning of quarantine, and we are still here. i’m sure this has gotten people through it, and for others like me who found this late, it’s giving them a push towards the end of covid. this display of joy was refreshing to see, and something i think all of us needed. please keep playing. you’ve inspired many. or, yknow, don’t, if that’s what would make you happier. because you deserve to be happy. thank you, wilbur.

[@wataemugi]

hello wilbur. to be honest, i wasn't really gonna write anything cause it didn't affect 'me' much, but i see all of these comments and hey why not. also, this video's comment section has or had a very letter-esque vibe, so it felt appropriate i've always used your music as a coping mechanism for Techno's loss. Losing face, in particular. Why? i don't really know, to be honest. Actually, i do, but it's not really something i wanna talk about. anyways i kind of looked up to you because of that, and listened to all of your music. Lovejoy was the first band which i knew all of the songs of, which is crazy for me since i just listen to the things i wanna listen to, but im usually hesitant in trying other songs of an artist or band. it kinda sucks now that i cant tearfully sing to Losing face anymore without giving the lyrics another separate meaning, but i don't really care about it that much. i knew of you before Techno's passing, and hell i still consumed your content a lot back then, so im surprised as to why this doesn't bother me personally. but i found out yesterday and my day got ruined, and i felt terrible. honestly, screw that one guy who put me on this rabbit hole for finding out 'oh, what happened?" fuck him. I would've rather lived in ignorance. i don't know you. maybe you did get better after YCGMA, and stuff like that. but you evidently didn't. Or you did, but you pushed yourself in trying to get better and ended up in a vicious cycle. and i don't think you are going to get better at least at this current time and until the next year even? i kind of understand the meaning behind most of the songs in MSR now. and i do think you feel sorry or regret it at least. i'll still continue listening to your songs and all, cause it won't change a single thing if i don't. i hope you get better. for yourself, and for everyone you knew.

[@chzbi]

do keep in mind their relationship was atleast a year ago. so it'd be nice to think that he may have reflected and changed in that time. i mean, life can change people in much less time than that, it is true. I don't think that his apology necessarily shows like 100% lack of remorse or anything, just that he handled it the wrong way. It should be an apology to the actual person first and then a genuine explanation and apology to the fans. I'd be inclined to support him in that case, atleast.

[@Firdaus-M]

Hi. I'm so sorry about how all this has happened to you, but the thing is, Wilbur is innocent. He isn't horrible. Shelby has shown no evidence of her abuse, and in all her pictures, she wears short clothing that a victim wouldn't do, but even if they would, they'd have bruises. Which she didn't. Not in the slightest. In most of wilburs pictures and especially ones with shelby, he had many bruises, and he would do his fake smile without putting his tongue below his teeth. He looks drained and tired, and he is going through depression and probably wants to kill himself, especially after all the hate. He did bite her, but he stated in his apology that from his many conversation with her, he had the understanding that they both thought it was consensual and done out of affection. He had slobbish and lazy behaviour and hadn't paid her compliments in a while BECAUSE of his mental health. It was around the time technoblade had passed and he had really bad depression. He struggled to get out of bed and struggled to clean, but shelby thought that was bad behaviour? She also stated in her recent stream that depression isn't an excuse and that you can never change or be given a second chance. She also accused her ex boyfriends in the past for abusive behaviour, and once it was proved wrong, she quickly deleted all evidence of it. The time she released all the news on wilbur was the 5ime when her merch store was going bankrupt and she wasn't earning much money. It was also the time when wilbur had gone on a mental health break. He was innocent. The only evidence she has is her word.

[@hilka442]

He probably won’t see this because it’s been so long since he uploaded this but wow Wilbur just has this thing about him, that is so comforting in a way. The way he sings and produces music is just so special to me and it’s so hard to describe how happy it makes me feel. Thank you Wilbur, your music, you’re everything is just so special.

Well, Wilbur is the reason I started playing guitar. I've been playing since February 2023. I was a pretty insecure freshman in highschool and I was still trying to find my place, since I wasn't a "jock" (didn't play any sports), wasn't a theatre kid, but wasn't quite a nerd either. I thought Wilbur Soot was a cool "nerd" since he played music, had an interesting fashion sense, was a streamer, was kind of funny. For a time he was all I watched on the internet, just Lovejoy concerts and Wilbur Soot stream vods. I idolized him a little bit. I'm sad it turned out this way. Come on man. It sucks that the guy who really got me into music turned out to be a crappy person, but it is what it is.

what is the most reachable thing in your life that would improve your life, that you are actually willing to start or stop doing? - go from there. dont fall into the circle of debating with yourself about things u should do and just do them without engaging in the inner dialogue. start small. like clean your space. but allow yourself to feel good about the things u did or accomplished today and remind yourself about them instead of beating yourself up about what u didnt do but know u should have. you dont need to have it all together. noone rly has. it is a process of growth, not a threshhold where once u pass and things just magicly fall into place. you dont need to represent anything in your life. not to your friends, your family, society or anybody else. and if you feel like you have to represent something to yourself at least, go back to step one - what is the most reachable thing that would improve your life, that you are also willing to stop or start doing? - and go from there.

this hits too hard I really don’t know why but every time I hear it and the way his accent thickens with the “I heard what you’re thinking off” like he just went into my brain and saw my darkest thought. And when he plays the guitar after that little piece there’s a ringing behind it and I don’t know if that’s me but it adds so much more it makes me cry every time, there’s so emotion and the build on the guitar and then how it pulls back at the beginning

Hi. I'm so sorry about how all this has happened to you, but the thing is, Wilbur is innocent. He isn't horrible. Shelby has shown no evidence of her abuse, and in all her pictures, she wears short clothing that a victim wouldn't do, but even if they would, they'd have bruises. Which she didn't. Not in the slightest. In most of wilburs pictures and especially ones with shelby, he had many bruises, and he would do his fake smile without putting his tongue below his teeth. He looks drained and tired, and he is going through depression and probably wants to kill himself, especially after all the hate. He did bite her, but he stated in his apology that from his many conversation with her, he had the understanding that they both thought it was consensual and done out of affection. He had slobbish and lazy behaviour and hadn't paid her compliments in a while BECAUSE of his mental health. It was around the time technoblade had passed and he had really bad depression. He struggled to get out of bed and struggled to clean, but shelby thought that was bad behaviour? She also stated in her recent stream that depression isn't an excuse and that you can never change or be given a second chance. She also accused her ex boyfriends in the past for abusive behaviour, and once it was proved wrong, she quickly deleted all evidence of it. The time she released all the news on wilbur was the 5ime when her merch store was going bankrupt and she wasn't earning much money. It was also the time when wilbur had gone on a mental health break. He was innocent. The only evidence she has is her word.

He’s someone whom i’ve never met and probably never will but somehow he has been able to help. he’s been able to save me and make me smile when others couldn’t. and i’ve never met him and once again. probably never will. and im sure it’s the same for a lot of people it’s just so strange to think about. i’m genuinely so greatful for so many content creators. i don’t know i just thought i share my thoughts. but im gonna have to listen to this a few more times now. it’s absolutely beautiful istg.

[@ash-hp6eo]

everything's going to be okay

[@vickyaqua171]

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.

There's just something about your voice and the way you play that draws me back each time; maybe it's the emotion in your tone, or the way you sway and drown in your music, I can't say.
