Why did I decide to dedicate something to him?

Attenton: This is the personal opinion of the author of the site, which may not coincide with the opinion of the majority. The author does not care what people, especially his haters, will think about her.

So. I always wanted to write my opinion about him and why I decided to dedicate part of my site to him.
Let me start from the beginning:
I learned about Noctir's existence about 4 years ago, it was summer, somewhere in August. That summer was significant for many events in my family. And by that time I already knew about his music, I listened to his music, but only to one of his bands, Nocturnal Abyss.
I found him through a link to his website on his YouTube channel. Back then it was an old site that is now not working. We started chatting.
We chatted every day, exchanged text messages. He introduced me to Tumblr, a social network. I liked his work right away. I was inspired by his work and started creating photo art myself.
Yes, we had difficult times in communication. For some time we stopped chatting. It was my fault, I admitted it long ago. He did nothing bad to me.
Then I found a boyfriend. The first one. And a terrible one. I don't want to remember that time. Time of false love. Later, after he left me, he continued to stalk me and harass me. And then I realized that I would never have chats like the one I had with Noctir again in my life.
(I had 2 more terrible relationships with guys ahead of me, then I found someone who accepted me for who I am). During the breakup, I was communicating with Noctir's friends. My friendship with one of them started out terribly, then gradually we went from enemies to friends. She was the only one who supported me in my studies and competitions. Then she disappeared from the internet... A few weeks ago I woke up with tears in my eyes. I saw her in my dreams. I was sad all day. She was my only normal best friend... I miss her so much...
There was another episode connected with his other friend. But, since we were in a terrible stage with Noctir at that time, after their breakup she began to speak terribly about him. She started insulting him with bad words and stuff like that. Later, we stopped communicating. I don't miss her.
...Our communication with Noctir continued. In the same form as before. Then, after a break from creativity (school exams and entering university), I returned to Tumblr. I had to create a new blog because the old one was deleted in the summer of 2023 due to massive porn bot attacks. And... I saw that fewer and fewer people became interested in his art. And I felt sorry for him.
We didn't communicate for some time because of my intense studies, I simply didn't have the strength to do anything. We continued to communicate. He wrote how bad he felt, and I cried. Because I felt sorry for him... I still hope that someday he will feel better and people will start paying attention to him and his art again.


And now the answer to the question: why did I decide to dedicate something to him? A tribute to him as an art creator and as a person. I am still inspired by his art. Even if he rarely published anything. I still listen to his music even though he stopped doing it.
I take his problems personally because I understand that sooner or later the same thing could happen to me. In general, I don’t get happy when I find out that one of my people is feeling bad.
I understand that many people may hate him because of his character (Noctir has a very difficult character). But I don’t hold it against him because of his character, because I understand what he went through in life and why he has such a character.
Life has taught me to appreciate what and who I have. One of such people is Noctir. Life has taught me to appreciate things as they are. Noctir's character is one of those things.
Noctir just needs help.
He just wants to be appreciated.
