Oh, and Ambassador? Just a quick thing.

You know how I've been sharing everything I've ever learned about FNAF with you, in real time, for several years now? Weeks, often months, or even years in terms of The Afton Family Horcruxes, before the ideas appeared in my videos?

I volunteered that time.

Nobody's paying me to be here.

Those bit drops you're seeing me make on Twitch? Those come from my full-time salary from UPS. I live with my folks, paying no rent, and since I don't currently have a family my expenses are low and my disposable income is high. Supplemented by bits of my life savings I've amassed over the past two decades of investing, thanks to my grandma Betty Taylor starting TAFFY, the Taylor Andrews Financial Family, our family investing club. As well as my person investing account with TD Ameritrade.

If any person on this earth should know I'm a real theorist, it's you.

You've watched the entire evolution of my FNAF theories from they're ugly deformed duckling beginnings, to sprouting feathers, to eventually becoming swans. I've explained every single link in the tapestry I wove to you more times than I can even remember now.

I have endured your harsh words for years.

And, to be completely fair, I've returned some. I was pretty distraught early on, and I believe you know why. However, I've done my best to clearn up my act, apologize for whatever transgressions I may have done, explain WHY I did what I did with my limited understanding of the situation, and done my best to keep moving forward in a constructive manner.

I can understand if I've been difficult to live with.

But when you make a point of gainsaying virtually everything I propose, mostly on the principle of me saying it?, that pattern does become noticable over time.

You don't have to listen to me, if you don't want to.

You're entirely free to continuing treating all my work about FNAF, Steven Universe, Undertale, Star Wars, Shovel Knight, and The Matrix (still have to make that video, also have some ideas about Fez) like some kind of unrepeatable freak accident unworthy of your notice or time.

But you're still here, aren't you?

And if that's the case, which it seems to be, then it means that you find at least some aspect about what I'm saying as having some tangental kind of value.

In that case, is it wrong for me to ask you to treat me, and the others here, with a small amount of respect?

You don't have to be here.

And neither do I.
