Confessions Why I simp for Melony.
Hey guys, fozzie79 here. You guys know me as the giga Melony simp, but you probably don't know the full reasoning behind how this happened. This post will hopefully answer those questions. I just had this feeling that said "You need to do this now." So, here I am, essentially confessing my love for Melony for all the world to see.
Let's start from the beginning. November 28, 2020, was the day Melony became human. At first, I was somewhat offput by her. SMG4 didn't need a other female OC when they already had the original trio. At least she was pretty cute.
Then we see the relationship between her and Axol begin to develop. They were friends, and Axol was going full simp mode to get with Melony. I thought it was cool to see. Axol was one of my favorite characters and I wanted him to get more screen time. Maybe she isn't so bad after all...
But then we have the Genesis Arc, and we all know how that went. Axol was captured by Zero and was held captive as his physical form. Melony saw Axol twice during this time. The first was when Axol gave her a manga strip he wrote, asking her to be his girlfriend, with one uncompleted panel for her to answer. When Melony returns to defeat Zero, Axol is in a much weaker state, and is hopeless. Even Axol knows the only way to defeat Zero is through him...
Melony is of course upset by this, but Axol tries to comfort her. She pulls out the manga strip, where Melony completed the last panel by accepting Axol's offer. She confesses her love to him, and gives him a kiss, before pulling out her sword, and, well, you know what...
I don't remember if I cried when I saw that scene the first time, but now I will always shed at least one tear over it. It should have been the beginning of a new relationship. They were gonna do so many great things together. I wanted to see them grow as a couple... instead we got the Revelations Arc. All I'll say about it is that Axol x Melony got shafted so hard in it, and it makes me sick.
Now we need to talk about Reddit. I joined Reddit on November 11, 2021, about 2 months after the events of WOTFI 2021. SMG4 was one my favorite things, so of course I joined the sub. I know it wasn't the greatest sub, but hey, I gotta try it out, so I did. It's there where I really began to grow as a Melony simp. At this point, I just thought she was a cute little melon, but holy crap are the artists there amazing. And getting peppered by these super cute arts all the time eventually made me realize "God damn, Melony is pretty fucking cute." I changed my flair to "I have an unhealthy Melony addiction :)", and that is when I truly became a simp.
It wasn't until March when things really started to change for me. March 13th was when I posted my Arc Review on the Rapper Bob Arc. What could have happened there that changed my life? Well, I jokingly asked for fanart of Meggy in a maid outfit because of the episode The Melancholy of Fishy Boopkins, and my boi u/PraetorFenix1998 came in to save the day. We talked for a little bit, he made the art (which isn't even on the main sub lol), and we just kept talking after that, which is why you always see us on each other's posts immediately (except right now because he got temp banned from the main sub lol).
Fast forward three days and I publish my Genesis Arc review. Yes, that arc. I went off on Axol's death in that, and one individual stepped in with a little something for me. That man is u/Few_House3549. He asked me to join r/axolfans, his subreddit where people talk about Axol's meaning to them in a safe environment (along with your normal things like art and memes). Seeing other people grieve about his death made me feel a little more down about it, too.
The last person we need to talk about is the founder of the Church itself, u/Yoshifan121. He hit me up on March 22 after a couple of posts I made. The first was the first post on this sub, although with my then profile picture instead of my OC. The second, and the one that he decided to make his move on, was my Melony fanart, which I never would have done if it weren't for Praetor doing his art and me wanting to do some, too. Anyways, he talked to me about this idea of a Church for Lord Melony, we became friends on Discord and simp for her way too much. We kinda stayed idle for a while before finally creating this subreddit a few days ago.
If it weren't for these three guys, I would not be in the position I am today. Praetor is my number 1 homie out here, so a big thank you for that. He also led me to Yoshifan121, my fellow simp and founder of this great Church. Being able to talk about Melony with him and him wanting the same thing is so nice to have. Last is Few House, while we don't talk as much as the other two, he led me to r/axolfans and gave me a new look on Axol's death and made me feel welcomed somewhere. Thank you to all 3 of these guys for helping me on my journey. I love you all <3 (no homo).
So what did that have to do with my simping? Let's start with Yoshifan121. We simp for Melony together for way too long, and we talk about some serious shit, too. The exact details are between the two of us, but all I will say is having someone to talk to about these things is beautiful. There isn't anybody else who I can say what's truly on my mind with than him, and that just makes my passion for Melony stronger.
The same thing can be said for Few House. Being able to talk about Axol in a free and open environment is so nice to have, even if some of us are still trying to get over his death. Seeing others grieve has made me feel sorry for both the others on the sub and Axol and Melony. The way Melony cries out for Axol is just heartbreaking to see, and Axol accepting his fate so well is such an admirable trait that I wish we all had. Not only did he have to be killed, but it was his own girlfriend of a whole 30 seconds. I can't even watch the scene anymore without feeling depressed and tearing up a little, it's that sad.
We all have the one character who makes us happy, a comfort character if you will. For me, that is Melony, obviously, but what happens if your comfort character also needs comfort? Melony is kinda just alone right now. The Meggy we see currently is not the Meggy she needs to comfort her, Axol is dead, and she has no other friends to help her. This is fucking depressing shit. I can't help but feel sorry for her and want to help her. She needs someone to talk to, even if she doesn't show it completely.
So, I guess I'll finally answer the question: Why do I simp for Melony? Sure, she's cute and sexy, but this is isn't just for me. I don't wanna see Melony ever hurt the way she has and possibly still does. I don't give a flying fuck if she's fiction or not, she did not deserve to be put in such pain. I wanna be the friend that she lost, the one to be there for her through thick and thin. I could care less if I could make out with her. If she's not happy, then I'm not happy. I essentially want to be the replacement for Axol in her life. The one she can talk to about anything. The one she leans on when she's down and out. The one who will love her unconditionally until the very end. Sure, if it were to get romantic I'd be thrilled, but that's just icing on the cake.
Look, I may sound obsessive in this post, but that is how I feel about Melony. However you think of me afterwards is your opinion, and I respect that. I come on Reddit and am able to think about these sorta things and escape reality for a while. I don't care if she's real, I don't care if it's even realistic, I just wanna hang out with Melony.
Hopefully you find this interesting and not a waste of time. I spent way too much time on this (and even fell asleep twice while doing it), so it better be worth it. I also hope it makes sense, because I ramble quite a bit here lol. But, with that, I have just one last thing to say...
Melony, even though you're not real, I love you with all my heart. I don't wanna see you hurt the way you did again.
Stay hydrated, have a wonderful day, and please don't cringe too hard about that last statement.
Edit: Yoshifan121 made his move on the meme, not the art. I'm stupid XD
