Anonymous asked: Even though you mentioned Gladstone is not super well liked by the masses, because you were my first exposure of him it never quite registered until I saw it, youtube reactors and people around there hating Gladstone and my heart just cried in sorrow.
oh anon I’m sorry- it kind of feels like your heart gets a big dent in it when you see that sort of thing about a character you like, huh? but hey, you know there’s a whole heap of love for Gladstone out in the world, and that love comes from people who really understand him as a character and appreciate every aspect of him; people who hate are allowed to, that’s their opinion, but they almost always do so because they don’t see the entire picture, and sometimes refuse to even try and see it! so, if you think about it, that makes their hate even smaller and more insignificant than it already is compared to the genuine, big, whole hearted and happy love that is floating around here with me and you! so- sure, be sad, accept that sadness as an expression of how much you love the character, how much they matter to you- and let it pass.
What one person with a blog or a youtube account or a twitter has said is not what everyone else thinks or feels! it doesn’t dictate what is right to, or what you have to! the world can be a hard and joyless place sometimes, so take your joy where you find it- if it doesn’t hurt anyone else then keep it, share it and cherish it all you darn want! with a bit of luck, you’ll find other people who feel just the same way as you.
