In related news, SoGreatandPowerful deleted his YouTube channel today. I think this has been a long time coming, I don’t believe it’s really taken any of us by surprise, especially with his recent “DELETE SGAP /” makeover on @horseness

For the last year or more, The Standard Model has been the only set of videos still available on his channel, and these have of course been archived for quite some time anyway. Nonetheless, I think this marks the loss of the last great bastion of SoGreatandPowerful’s original online presence

Discounting various forum accounts, the only sites of significance that remain now are his Tumblr blogs, @sogreatandpowerful, @horseness​, and @unmakeablelove, and the curiosities of vrifax and mirrorsforprinces. Of those, only @horseness still features any content at all

What may be missed the most from his YouTube channel are the comments sections on his videos, which were uncharacteristically positive for YouTube comments. Hundreds of heartfelt messages from fans, each trying to tell SGaP how his music had helped them in their own unique ways, big and small. All of them gone, just like that. While I don’t doubt that SGaP read every comment he got, I still personally feel the loss of those testimonials, those voices proving that SGaP did more than just make music: he saved lives



But now, it’s up to us to keep that word alive. SGaP seemingly doesn’t want us to so much as speak his name, but I think that’s exactly the opposite of what we should do; SoGreatandPowerful is not so unimportant as to simply be lost to the ages. Whether he likes it or not, he had a profound impact on a sizeable community, and that is something which must never be forgotten
