Tell your story of why you love Wesley so much
So I started watching smosh (I had seen it before back in like 2012 but I started watching it again) back about the time of The Defy Shutdown, But was obvious to at the time. And I saw this dude with the silver hair and I got a feeling that that dude, whoever he was, was kinda cool. Then I kept watching smosh and (about a month or two later) I actually found out he was Wes and then I started watching more videos with him in them. Then the more I learned about him the more I connected and related to him. And then I ended up on his wiki page back in April and I started reading it. And the facts were all super similar to me.
Finding out he was a cosplayer made me recognize cosplay and made me realize there are things about cosplay that I really like and explained some oddities about me (Loving to dress up and play a character but never really being a theater kid, Really liking makeup but only costume makeup and eccentric makeup)
He also has a lot of pocket knives and I wanted a pocket knife and to have pocket knives on me since I was like 6 or 7 (for whittling and then later on I also wanted them for self defense)
He’s incredibly family oriented and I am too. Family is one of the if not the most important thing to me, along with friends that practically are Friends, and when I was depressed and borderline suicidal 2 years back the one most important thing to me and probably the reason I’m still alive today is because I thought of my family and friends’ reactions and what might happen if I was gone lol
Speaking of depression, I was depressed and still am, I take antidepressants now for it so I did get help and I’m doing well.
But in the video where Wes came out and said he did have depression he said he was always the oldest (as am I) and so he didn’t know how to ask for help which was also an issue I have that has been pointed out to me before
Also He wanted to be a spy at one point but gave up on that dream because he wanted a family more and I actually wanted to be apart of the FBI when I was like 9 and I even had what it takes to be apart of the FBI information papers printed directly from their website next to my bed until I was like 14
He has ADHD and that is one of the biggest things I deal with in my everyday life because mine is more severe than average (I’ve been taking medicine for it since I was six)
I’ve been told many a time that I act like I’m three or six and I do act very childish sometimes like Wes does in a lot of videos
His character is The GGG (The Gay German Gamer) which is the namesake of my blog and many people have assumed that the ggg is me
There’s more but one big thing as to how similar I am to him is that some of my friends (who are brutally honest and don’t just say things for my benefit) have watched videos with him in them and have given me weird looks or said it’s creepy watching him because apparently we have some of the exact same mannerisms and act a bit of the same way
And I often have fears that I won’t be able to make it or thrive or make a life for myself or be happy, so when I found Wes and I saw how similar we are and how he has done all of those things? It makes me happy and it gives me hope. So Wes is the first online personality that I’ve ever really had an attachment to and he’s become like a role model to me. Because if we are so similar and so many people like him just being himself then certainly I’m not entirely off putting, right?
So that’s the sorty of why I like Wes so much: because of how similar we are and how easily I can connect with him
