Attention. This is Important.
As I’m sure some of you have heard, there is someone in my life that I came to know and love, and over the course of a year, has shown his true colors.
Some of you, or the person in question, might come to believe that this is a personal post. It’s not, however. It’s a post to warn the community of a person who has done a lot of wrong, and has confirmed that it’s a pattern for himself.
His name, his real name, is Andryk, or Andy. Even more commonly known as rebelliousxangel.
In the early days of October, 2013, I was waiting for word from someone in Mexico by the name of ‘Gabriel' to come online and tell me about Andy's death. His death date was September 28th, 2013.
When that happened, I broke down, because Andy had been my best friend. Attached at the hip, always talking, RPing or playing board games. Stuff like that. The usual online best friend type of stuff. Naturally, I got upset, and I disappeared from the fandom for a while to recover.
In that time, I received a letter from Andy, which I was expecting to come, and it was his goodbye letter. This upset me more, but as I was looking at the envelope, I noticed the processing date. It didn’t add up, because that date was September 23rd, 2013. Huh. I checked his youtube, which had activity on it, during the time that he was supposed to be dead. His facebook was deleted, which is strange because people usually use that as a memorial for the departed.
I went onto one of Andy’s other close friend’s blog, and I saw an ask from an end!Cas that caught my eye, and when I clicked on that end!Cas blog, I found a few things that lead me to believe that it was Andy. So like any curious, mourning person, I asked the Dean that had posted the ask, and she went on to tell me that “It’s not Andy. As far as I know, his name is Gabriel’, and that I ‘need psychiatric help’ to ‘help me let go of Andy’.
I didn’t believe her. So I messaged this blog. I don’t have a printscreen of the ask, because I deleted it a while back, but I did copy and paste it to a friend when I first got it, and that was in my Skype archives. It’s posted here. Anyway, proof that he says his name is Gabriel is here, but proof that he’s posted on that blog that he’s actually Andy is here.
So Andy faked his death. He was never dead to begin with. I went public with it, because it was wrong. Countless of people mourned him, made posts for him, and I felt that everyone deserved to know about the deceit. This prompted a few people to try and come to attack me, a bunch of anon hates sent to my inbox, so I left the fandom again, for the second time.
Deciding that it had blown over, I came back, but got into contact with Andy again, wanting to try and fix our friendship — like an idiot — but he went on to say things that were hurtful. Tried to martyr himself, saying that he faked his death to ‘save me from him’ and to ‘make me hate him so it was easier’.
And now he’s been stalking my blog, made me change my URL, which he found, and has been on and off of my blog, showing up repeatedly in my tracker. Him and his friend.
I’m not making this into a big thing, I’m just trying to warn people of what he’s done, what he’s continuing to do, and what he shouldn’t be allowed to do again. Countless of people were effected by this. his blog and tag were turned into memorials of people sending asks, submits, messages, showing their grief for a person who was alive the whole time, and then came back under a false name to add insult to injury.
All of this made me push people away. I lost friends — lots of friends. I isolated myself because I felt like I can’t trust anyone any more. I cut myself off when the people — my friends — who were mourning him needed my support the most. I contemplated things that I should ever, ever contemplate because of someone else, and it’s been very scarring to not only me, but a few other people, as well.
I will admit, I’ve not been a saint in this mess. I’ve said hurtful things and done things that I’m not proud of to get to the truth, but here you have it. Death isn’t a joke. It hurts people, and this is the kind of distress that he’s brought on me and a bunch of other people who considered him their friend and trusted him.
