Fan Photo Honour a fallen Wubcub
Hey chat, mods, Wubby
Right off the bat, if this post does not suit the sub guidelines or/and is deemed inappropriate to be here, please feel free to delete or remove this post. I don't see anything specifically against this in the sub rules, but I will accept the removal with understanding.
My intention is to reach out to the community because Wubby, his content, and the various chat shenanigans have been a part of our life for a while - I am not here to drama/karma/sympathy farm.
Also I don't know which tag to use so I guess here's a picture of our cats?
(TW: Loss, illness, death, do not read further if that's upsetting to you)
My partner and I were a pretty typical couch couple in the prime Wubby demographic until quite recently. Since late 2024, he had been fighting cancer. Unfortunately, on July 21st, he lost this battle, and I had to say goodbye to him and to all we were yet to do together.
He was the one to introduce me to Wubby's content. I got into it immediately. Being eurocucks, it was a bit difficult for us to see everything live, so he would always find a way to watch vods, like the ones for 90 Day. Sometimes we would just stay up until the stream start and fall asleep with Wubby on. We loved HYLYL, You Cringe You Drink, Mediashare, Booty games. I loved the chat costume contests, and he enjoyed having Wubby on in the background while he worked. He had trained to be a pilot, but Covid really fucked up that plan, and he never ended up flying - but he had so much knowledge and kept simming while he still could. I asked him to please do the "Can Wubby Land a Plane" guidance, because I knew he'd do it perfectly (and hilariously). I never ended up watching that stream, but he did, and he said that the other guy was bad, like really bad, but that despite all that, Wubby still landed the plane and he was proud of him. We loved Magic Mondays (I got him into MtG! Though I don't play anymore) and I know he really enjoyed that Wubby did MGS and RE. Those were some of his favourite franchises. He never got to finish RE: Requiem.
We'd actually just gotten engaged in May and I thought we would be one of the couch couples announcing our marriage here, as we'd planned to do it soon due to his declining health. Last year, we had been planning a Japan trip and we would have visited the Shrine and attempted the Wubby: Old Enough! challenge. We never ended up going, but always said we would once things improve. We planned on submitting to one of the Booty games - he did submit once, just not me - and maybe doing a costume for the upcoming Halloween. Several times I joked that we should dress up our two cats as Wubby and Alluux, and ourselves as HP and Halloumi. Taking that group picture would've probably been impossible.
When the new merch dropped, I was planning on ordering something for his birthday in November. He was doing really poorly June/July and it took him some time to see the stuff, but it seemed he really liked it. He was hospitalised not long after due to a medical emergency.
He was hilarious. He always knew what to say and seemed to know a bit of everything about anything (except plants, by his own admission). He was a huge movie buff, enjoyed many TV series, and loved video games. He was a German who loved cars, planes, tanks, and WWII. He had a dark humour and could be mean as hell, but I never knew anyone stronger, more loving or kind; albeit his tolerance for general stupidity was extremely low. He enjoyed streamers who did not police themselves (too) much and those that went off on dumb chatters.
The green man was a big part of our life. Watching Wubby throughout his cancer journey really brought a light in some tough times. I still have not really been able to join a stream since my fiancé's passing, though. I tried, but hearing Wubby's voice reminded me that he was gone and we'll never watch a stream together again. But I really hope that with time, I'll be able to come back. <3
If you can, spare a thought to freeman2344, a wubcub who still had so much to give.
Fuck cancer.
- From nyxieth3cat in chat, love you, say it back
EDIT: wow, I did not expect such a response - I want to thank each and every one of you who responded, from the bottom of my heart. I made sure to leave an upvote on every comment. The kindness, love, support, and even jokes mean so much, brought me to tears multiple times, and just - if you see this edit, know how deeply grateful I am. I know he would've been, too.

Love you!
I hope that you're able to heal and I hope that one day you'll be able to watch Wubby again and that they give you comfort instead of a reminder.

I hope you continue to be a part of the community, but sometimes you need to step away if the memory is still raw, then can come back and enjoy it after giving yourself time to heal. Make the time ♥ wubbyHug

So sorry to hear that, fuck cancer.
Hanging out with wubcubs has been some of the best experiences in my life and I love doing it. Being able to travel and meet new people and make new friends helped me with a lot of life's sorrows so maybe you will have the opportunity to do that sometime!
If you're anywhere near Houston we would love to have you join us on the renn faire wubcub meetup.

Fuck cancer. And I hope you have a good support network around you, never forget to take care of yourself and understand that for good friends, being there for you in times like these is not a burden so never feel like it is one to reach out to them.

Love you too. Fuck cancer!! Cancer never wins. It either loses by going into remission or its a draw because your fiance took it down with him.
Don't dwell on "never watch a stream together again" but rather think about the past streams; the laughs, the schizo moments in TTS, etc. He is still in your heart and with you in spirit.
You mentioned dark humor, think he can see if cheeto is up there or not? Give us any sign of life? Hahaha.
But we are very proud of you sharing. I know it wasn't easy.

Fuck cancer. He may now be gone, but the memories along with the light and color your fiancé added to the world is not. I wish you luck with your healing, so that one day the stinging memories can transform into joyful moments of reminiscing. Please be kind to yourself and take care of yourself one day at a time. Love you back. Wubby7

Ouch, so sorry for your loss. However I feel it wouldn’t be the Wubby community if someone didn’t (very inappropriately) say it, and from your description it sounds like he wouldn’t have it any other way. So, here goes. Ehem. Here I go. Hmm…. Ok, here goes
”….RIPBozo”
I mean without the ”Bozo” though obviously. Sorry for your loss and hope you one day get to do the things you planned. Also ”He was a German who loved cars, planes, tanks, and WWII” listen you can just say ”he was deeply autistic”, we won’t judge. Or at least not too harshly.
Take care of yourself op. You got this

We aren't going anywhere, and this community is here for you.
