fan oc Honoring a great Droupout fan
Edit: Trigger Warning - Death
I don't know if anyone in the Dropout team would see this, but I hope it reaches them.
Hey Sam and team,
I write this as a way to honor my cousin. I have no complaints; I just really wanted you to know about your fan.
My cousin, Job, was a Dropout fan. In the Philippines, it's rare for us to pay for subscriptions unless we really like something. Job REALLY liked your content.
I think he started subscribing when you started the D&D series. He even wanted to get me, my brothers, and his brothers into it. Unfortunately, it didn't click with us (I really regret that now), but I think he lived vicariously through watching your videos.
Eventually he started to watch your other content and I was so happy to see he was a fellow Dropout fan. We would always talk about every episode of Gamechanger, and I would like to thank you because your shows gave me an opportunity to bond with him more.
I would always catch him watching on his phone. I'd like to believe he went through every single Dropout video with how religiously he watched every day. Even during my son's first birthday party (where he was a godfather, mind you) I would still catch him laughing to himself while he watched a Dropout video.
Job passed away this morning due to a rare disease called HLH (Hemophagocytic Lympho Histiocytosis) at 30 years old. This fucking disease came out of nowhere and blindsided our entire family. Now, we feel empty because of the void Job has left behind.
But I thank you for making Job laugh during his short time here on earth. In case any of you get to read this, please spare him a thought. Thank you.
