User blog:Dryuuu/Recognising EmrysOfAlbion

Hi, I have befriended and gotten pretty close with Matt, aka EmrysOfAlbion. I have found we have a scary lot alike, including our passion for design and sense of humour. He has a very keen and sharp mind for his age and has noticed many things, and picked up lots of Series 5 info no one else would have spotted. We talk quite often and share photoshop designs, as well as, Series 5 news of course!

I have learnt a lot about Matt, and obviously it would be rude to disclose it all but he's a really great guy, with a past and background which really complements his character and makes him one of those people I'd call decent and legitimate- and has LOTS to offer, and is often underappreciated by members of this Wiki. We were recently having a conversation and he discussed his concern for people hating him, especially after playing a little "prank" on Alfons. Just so you know, he's done a few little pranks of me which upset me a little at the time, but ultimately I accepted it happened and see the good side of things. Which is what the prank resulted in, we wrapped up on a good note. That's what makes this community so strong, we all want to ultimately end on a good note, that's what matters. Moving forward involves agreeing, no one here just cuts off contacts, or is like DON'T TALK TO ME AGAIN! BLOCK!

There's always a second chance.

I thought it would only be fair to praise Matt aka EmrysOfAlbion. Take some time to step back and recognise those who make a difference but aren't exactly the public faces. He is one of the underlying forces of the Wiki community- he does some significant behind the scenes work which I believe is the most important type of work and has helped keep me, Dryuuu, obviously I'm a little more well known (which is why I'm making this post to recognise Matt), sane!

Life is tough and I'm currently finishing year 12 (yes, an age reveal!), and lots of pressure has been on me, it's always good for someone to be able to talk to anytime.

So yes! Please raise your hands for Matt! :)
