The end of Giantdad

Hey there guys, its been a while. I haven't been logged on in forever because I’m just so busy and focused on work. For those who don’t know I’m working full time and its really great. My hours are a bit crazy and there is so much to learn I come home exhausted but very satisfied. But I realized that I just kinda dropped of the face of the earth without saying a thing. That this blog still lives but while I’m away it is unceremoniously gathering dust. So its time to sit down and do this properly… its time to close shop permanently.

Before I get into the details, I want to apologize… to everyone. To my friends who I’ve met here, to the long time or recent followers and to everyone who’ve I have interacted with. I am sorry for my behavior. I am sorry for not living up to all your expectations and most of all I am sorry for losing contact. I cannot give any reasonable explanation for anything; all I can offer is my deepest honest apology because what I did was honestly quite terrible.

I am sorry.

However I would also like to take the time to say thank you

This blog was created three years ago while I was at a very low point in my life. Suffice to say I lived through some intense events and I played Dark Souls as an outlet. I got immersed in the lore and community and out of a whim I decided to make a blog about OnlyAfro’s crazy, silly and outrageous character to not only cheer myself up but also to make people laugh. Make something that will at the very least give them a chuckle because I understand that it really sucks being in a miserable place. So Giantdad was born. 

1300 followers, 1980 posts and countless asks received later and here we are. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected this to grow so much and be so well received by everyone I contacted. As this Giantdad grew larger it became something else for me. I let my creativity run rampant and I learnt to how to let go of my prejudices and masks. As Giantdad’s antics became more and more crazy I gained confidence and developed my writing skills. I let more and more of myself reflect into him and then without noticing it my interpretation of Giantdad wasn’t just a meme character anymore but a crazy exaggeration of myself. I didn’t think, I just wrote and it became the character who you all come to experience. 

Life still was rocky but I changed and grew so much as a person. I spent most if not all of my free time working on this and it was a large part of who I was. This blog is so important to me because I can honestly say it is the source of my happiest memories from the past three years. I met countless of interesting and passionate people, some of which I became friends with while I fought against others. Despite our differences, I still respect and consider them as part of my experience on this platform.

All to say is 

Thank you so much for everything you all done for me. 

I cannot express my gratitude for debt that I owe you all for giving me a small part of your time. For encouraging this blog and all its insanity that it is. For sharing what little I made to make others laugh too. Lastly and most importantly, you all were here for me when I was at my lows even if you didn’t know. 

But like all good things, there comes an end. I believe that now is the time. 

Again, Thank you all and I’ll see you guys around.

I’ll leave you guys with one last post and a huge tag list of everyone who really made this time here unique. I am sorry if I miss anyone, I genuinely looked and I think that some of you changed your URLS. Nonetheless I am very grateful to you all. 

I am not going to delete so everything is going to be archived.

XIII. THE MEANING BEHIND YOUR URL. Once upon a time it was giantdadiscoming but then I realized that that title had a lot of sexual undertones and I was just like “naaaaaaw” so I changed it to giantdadhaslanded. It was supposed to a warning kinda like when someone invades your world in Dark Souls as in “MegaDonger has invaded your world” kinda deal. :P
