This is the only post I will be writing in regards to Wilbur Soot's statement.

It was a shit apology. I'm not going over that. We can analyze it to death but it absolutely reads like the apology of someone who is now represented by some label's legal team. The only thing I'm thankful for is that he did not release text messages between him and Shelby in some attempt to distract people. She doesn't deserve that embarrassment.

But, I really hope you read this, I need you to stop treating this like a party. I need you to stop giving every CC that speaks up about this a hit post or hit tweet by liking it.

Almost none of these people liked a single post of Shelby's or uttered the words "I'm so sorry for what Shelby went through" They waited until it was safe to say something. They waited until they could write a "coming in with a steel chair reply." They waited until they knew it would look good.

They revealed that Wilbur has always been manipulative, a narcissist a bully and mean to his friends. They revealed they've always thought he was a bad person. They've revealed that they don't think he's taking accountability while they stayed silent.

And not just silent for a few days. Some of these people are saying they knew for better for weeks, months, years that he was a horrible person. And they said nothing. They let people spend time and money and energy on a community of a person they knew was dangerous and cruel and they said nothing.

They didn't need Shelby Shubble to come forward and say how bad of a person Wilbur Soot was. They didn't need Shelby's story, if they thought he was a bad person, to not appear in videos with him or be in a group channel with him or mention him on stream or tease content with him or be on Anvil Cards or follow him on all social media platforms.

But they did anyway because, to these content creators, it's better to be silent and let a bad person flourish than cause "drama" online.

These people do not give fuck. I need you all to please take this advice that none of these online creators are worth the time and energy you put into them. You don't know what else they're sitting on. You don't know what they've done. You are lying to yourself, right now, if you think Phil or Tommy or Tubbo or Jack or whoever your current fave is wouldn't have been fine saying nothing if Shelby hadn't spoke first. You're lying to yourself if you think whatever new smp or content creator group you're currently into doesn't have horrible shit that they're all choosing to ignore.

The amount of manipulation required by these content creators to maintain the devotion and investment of their communities is horrific.

Do not trust your mental well being, your comfort, your whatever to these people. Any of them.

If it wasn't obvious before now, this account is closed permanently. Wilbur Soot has admitted he was the person who abused Shelby Shubble. He released a statement on his twitter account posted below. The last post on this page will be a reblog of a response one of the admins has written. Thank you all and I hope you know that, despite how it ended, I'm glad for all the memories we shared as a community.

The current admins will be on break for the foreseeable future. Thank you everyone for all of the support you've given us over the years.

Sing lvjy are in rsd UK, does that still mean US stores are participating? On the RSD site I see US stores involved, I'm just wondering if they're still eligible for the rsd UK releases

Lovejoy is participating in multiple Record Store Days! So far we've seen confirmation that they're releasing those vinyls in the UK, US, Poland and Canada. There are likely more. The best way to check is to look up your country's official record store day website and scan the RSD Exclusives list.

[wilbursoot-updates]

how do you get the record day vinyls? is there a place to pre order?

Hey! So there is no way to pre-order the Record Store Day vinyls. They're a special promotional item to get people out physically to their local record stores.

In terms of getting one, the best advice I can give you is look up local record stores in your area and actually call/email them and ask them to STOCK the Lovejoy vinyls. Here's a website to help you locate your closest stores.

That's not promise they'll get it, but most will try. Then around a week before RSD, call again to see if they got it in. They won't be able to hold it for you, but most will tell you how many they got so you can make a game plan.

Plan to go early.

Plan on having a back up place to look.

Former Admin Mia made a helpful thread about RSD here.

Also keep in mind, it's highly likely some will be available after RSD. Stores are allowed to put up any RSD exclusives online after that first day or so of in-store exclusivity. There are also plenty of online vinyl stores and resellers that will have it at some point after RSD.

Good Luck!

hello mods how have you been recently given the circumstances 😭

Honestly we're doing fine. Wilbur and Lovejoy taking a long break after months of tours and promo and videos and everything else is a little holiday for us too.

Personally, I've gotten into building dollhouse models and playing overly complicated survival and resource management games.

Laurel is out there losing Valorant tournaments or something.
