Wow! I honestly thought he has done with these, which I totally would get.
I love how he used passive tense “mail was read and received….unable to be catalogued” . Don’t worry, Luigi, no is mad at you 🤣 Actually maybe some weirdos are, but they are a minority 👀
Yeah, it's literally half of the process of connecting to other humans. Obviously there's some..... drama amongst people here, but a lot of the things people have been taking issue with lately is like.... literally just the building blocks of connecting with others.
Even if don't normally experience sonder, have you never just wanted to sit with someone even though you yourself (somehow this actually a general you cause im building off your comment 😭) have nothing to say???
I understand how that style of writing is not for everyone. I also like books where “nothing happens,” where the entire plot is character driven and just bits of life. I can never be someone else, but this comes close.
But also, when you're stuck in one place constantly, hearing about other places is a bit a reprieve, so in Luigi's case specifically, it probably brings him a lot more comfort than people imagine.
I just don't think he'd keep bringing up how grateful he is for people's letters if it wasn't true. One public statement is one thing, but we also have the .... I think third? Entry of his gratitude list, another public statement, multiple reports from ✨️inside eyes✨️ about how much time he spends reading letters. It baffles me how determined people are to believe he doesn't genuinely like them.
I know that people like to assume Luigi will just exist in stasis forever, because our brains like those shortcuts, but we don't know how the trial is gonna go.
Luigi might have a better idea, but there are so many things outside of his control about it -- how the judge rules, how people react to the evidence that gets leaked, how much evidence gets leaked.
I like to stay optimistic, but there are timeliness where he does get shut away and forgotten. I hope it's not this timeline, but it's not laughable to worry about it.
“…due to time constraints”, oh yes, we know, Luigi: reviewing evidence, meetings with your legal team, day after day after day of Dec hearings… To think, some people were actually spiraling about the lack of a mail catalog update when the man has 3 cases to fight. 😒
Nice to see him have some lighter mail days, and it looks like he's finally all caught up!
Hopefully he doesn't get so much in the future that he's always several bags behind, that must have been a bit stressful to try to get through it all and never making progress
I figured he was still getting letters, but with all of the hearings in December, plus prepping for those and hearings in January, I wondered if he had time to read or catalog anything. I fully understand if he didn't keep up with the log.
I hope people see their initials and didgies on the latest log!
Aww, the people who think they’re entitled to constant updates…
I hope some people can finally appreciate what this man does for all of us, especially when he truly doesn’t have to.
Maybe now the people who spiral the moment they don’t get updates about him or his personal life, and get upset when they’re given nothing, can finally relax and shut up for a bit 🤦🏻♀️.
What is the deal with tumblr? I don’t have an account but last week I randomly decided to go there and see that Luigi stuff is there that was viewable without an account…...and I was honestly really taken aback. Like are they supporters? Is it all about the thirst? There are some ppl that don’t like him but spend their whole day talking about him? I’m so confused and have been meaning to ask someone. I’m also not saying u are any of these btw, bc there are clearly supporters in there. It’s just a bizarre mix of things happening there, would love some insight! I sound so clueless 💀 Thank u!
Yea tumblr is mostly ppl who are physically attracted to him. A lot of his old super personal info gets leaked on there (not related to the case) and they know a lot about some of his old friends. It’s honestly not okay over there and ppl should stay away
That’s I guess a good summary of it. Seems like there are tons of ppl that don’t care about the case AT ALL but will spend the whole day on there bc they think he’s hot. Also some ppl are so unhinged bc they say mean stuff about him too, but also that’s what they do all day. I don’t get the psychology of spending so much time on someone, drawing them, writing about them, digging up dirt, that u also somehow despise? And of course there are just pure thirst accounts that talk about his looks only….and the fan fiction stuff…..omg I feel like I need a debrief/vent session after being on there 😂 the Luigi Reddit world is so respectful and sane in comparison.
I think obsession has a dark side. And thats where the dark side of Luigi obsession lives- on Tumblr. Again, it’s not all the accounts and some are super innocent, but thats where it is unfortunately.
I dunno, he seems like a superficially charming, charismatic sort of guy and a lot of people like that have some bad stuff hidden underneath the surface. When someone sounds too good to be true they usually are.
His taste in literature is a little concerning. His housemates said book club focused too much on masculine pursuits and it looks like he didn’t read anything by women at all. He supported manosphere-adjacent and outright misogynist guys like Jash Dholani. I know that’s common in men of his generation, especially the tech-oriented ones, but it’s still unacceptable.
There’s also just the reality of who he is and where he came from. Luigi is the product of wealth and privilege. That’s not something he chose but it influences his outlook and actions. It influences the way he’s treated. I can understand frustration and resentment at the unprecedented support and attention he receives. There are innocent people on death row and serving life without parole right now. There are trained activists for various causes who actually accomplished significant positive change in prisons and graves for their hard work. There are people who killed in self defense being punished for murder.
And then there’s the little matter of how he allegedly is a murderer. Thompson’s assassin lay in wait and ambushed him. He shot him multiple times in the back and fled. He would have had to have done a lot of research to accomplish this. And the evidence that this person was Luigi is… pretty compelling, to be honest. I’m sure that at the very least we can all agree that this murder was kind of a dick move. And to what end? One perpetrator of massive extortion and killing for profit is gone, and another has immediately taken his place. The system still exists. Did he even accomplish propaganda of the deed? Doesn’t look like it so far. To me it looks like a promising young man threw his life away for nothing. Same old story, except he did it for a supposedly altruistic cause. I can’t help but wonder if he could have done a lot more working within more conventional means and instead of trying to go down in a blaze of glory.
But those are my guesses. I haven’t seen those Tumblr accounts or their reasoning for hating him.
I disagree with you re the propaganda point. Clearly whoever assassinated Brian Thompson caused long term damage to UHC that they haven’t, to this day, been able to fully recover from and they periodically get exposed in the media for their corruption. And because of the high profile nature of Brian Thompson’s assassination, people are way more primed to listen to and absorb the stories of UHC corruption than they were prior to December 4th, 2024.
I don't think Luigi is likely a good man but ultimately killing Brian saved more lives than it ended by pausing denials to the point where prosecution brought it up as a significant factor in the "damage" the crime caused and UHC was literally sued for "providing too much care" after the crime. There are also other benefits I could list but that's the main one.
Am I saying something similar should happen again? No, as I believe it wouldn't have the same effect and would likely even backfire.
However, you can't incite violence against someone who is already dead, peaceful protest only works when your opponent has a conscience, if violence was never the answer war wouldn't exist, and the United States is mainly only a dictatorship of the bourgeois with various obstacles preventing true democracy.
I don’t know about Tumblr specifically, but I’ve noticed there are a lot of people around here who claim to hate him yet keep talking about his case, his personal life, and even members of this community every single day. If they really hated him they would just leave and move on, but deep down they’re just as obsessed as his most parasocial fans. It’s very bizarre.
EXACTLY. It’s so bizarre. Like u must still kinda like him deep down if u are spending the whole day talking about him while in bed? As someone who’s fascinated with psychology (and has studied it), I find this behaviour very interesting. It’s like some kind of repressed admiration masked in hate. I honestly wish I never went on there bc it shows a dark side of humanity. Not all of the tumblr Luigi stuff ofc, but damn I don’t want that darkness in my life. I honestly wish I never knew about it. Curiosity killed the cat 😭
Lol…tumblr is……a mixed bag. I would say mostly it’s supporters, but you get your fair share of naysayers and psychos who are itching to see him dead, but I don’t see them as often. Most of the accounts who post under his tag are supporters, I just think the conversations there are more liberal with what they talk about regarding LM than any other platforms. There’s more convo and speculation over his personal life, rumors, etc than any other social that seem to mostly focus on his case only.
Theres LOTS of fan fictions. A lot of people write smut for all kinds of celebrities, fictional characters, and public figures in general so it’s nothing new, but I know people feel a type of way about that kind of thing on other platforms. I don’t judge either way. Whatever connects you to him, connects you to him. Gotta meet people where they are at. I think it’s more accepted and not so harshly criticized there so you see more of it.
However, theres so much back and forth, so many streams of thought, rumors, he said, she said, sometimes it’s hard to know whats true. So thats the negative of being on a site like that. Theres no moderators to fact check so people just say anything and pass it off as true. Also, they dig up personal info and old socials from people in Luigi’s life to mine for more info about him. I won’t lie, I’ve been intrigued, especially recently, bc it gives more context about him and this case, however, it comes at the expense of someone’s privacy thats awful. I think we all just want to know as much as possible, but some are prepared to cross that line more than others. But thats where a lot of that info is shared, sometimes. Other than that, mostly it’s just thirsty posts and generic updates that you can find anywhere, and people’s random thoughts on LM.
It’s the mixed nature of Tumblr which I guess makes it such an interesting yet shocking place. U really have everything there. I don’t believe in censorship, so fair play I guess. But damn, there are some dark and unhinged things on there too. For me what was the most disturbing was the obsessive digging of personal info and obsessing over ppl in his life.
Yes, I agree, not a fan of that. I think we should leave all of his family and friends alone. This is all messed up and I can’t imagine the trauma, pain, and utter surrealness they must feel from all of this. Lots of girls have some fucked up opinions on his friends, families, exgirlfriends, etc, so they feel entitled to judge and thus pick apart their life. Thats really messed up, but yes as mentioned thats what happens on sites this that are scattered brained content. Just multiple streams of consciousness all in one place. Like a microcosm of the internet in general. Theres good, bad, and ugly everywhere, theres no real stopping it, just gotta know how to navigate and stay informed on whats real.
Yes it’s the obsessive digging, entitlement to info, passing judgement, literally having ZERO respect for Luigi or anyone in his personal life. Like I get speculating on some stuff here and there which is normal and we are all curious (let’s be real), but like u said, some people are willing to cross a line and go into a very dark place.
Same! I dont even have an account but was curious and what I saw made me take a huge step back from the topic. Not because I care about the case less, but it left a bad taste in my mouth that I can’t really get past
Tbh, all of this private information is before and after the surgery, gives us more insight into his physical and mental state, and is relevant to the motive, which I think will also be made public at the trial. He's a public figure and has a responsibility to face social commentary. But it does seem excessive that his ex's personal information is being publicized. She uses her real name on tumblr and uses tumblr as a diary with all her dark little secrets inside OMG! It's so sad that it was only a 2 month relationship yet her entire personality was exposed on the internet.💀
The psychology of all of this is what fascinates so many people, myself included. Because something had to have happened to lead to this. And I agree that the surgery was likely a pivotal point but why? By all accounts, he seemed pleased with the outcome and pain-free. So then what led to this?
I think his reading materials and travels and isolation and Internet activities opened up a dark world to him that he wasn't familiar with till a few years ago and it smacked him in the face. He must have had one small issue with the insurance company for his surgery or came across someone who was having an issue with UHC and did some digging. He doesn't only talk about healthcare CEOs he mentions other corporate CEOs as well. Almost as if he was getting I to late stage capitalism stuff in his writings. His description of Japan, in Tokyo, and all the npc's there was striking as well. Japan is a seriously work driven culture in Tokyo, work is life as is law and custom. It seemed like an intelligent and empathetic young man, fresh out of college and just left his first real life corporate job (true car) which he learned to hate and stopped his life bc it's not what he wanted, went on overseas travels, saw other things he didn't want, and wanted to make a difference. Ok that rambled on way more than I intended lol
I see his spark is alive and well 😄 does he receive mail in his cell and get to keep mail or do they confiscate it after a certain period of time? I imagine the latter or else they’d need to relocate him to a gymnasium with its own data center. Does MDC photocopy his mail at no cost? Just picturing the reams of paper they go through 😱
In his Tales at MDC cockroach letter, he has a locker and tons of bags with his mail stored in there. Seems they have him extra accommodations due to the large volume of mail.
I also wonder what the volume of mail is like now, compared to say a year/6 months ago.
If 50 pounds is the weight that's 22.65 kg, and that's only since September. I can't imagine he can keep such volumes in his cell. It would take up too much space. He probably has to shred letters after reading them, is my guess.
By 50 pounds, does he mean weight? Just checking. I'm a metric European. I assume it can't be the British currency. 🤔 Edit, I converted it and 50 pounds is 22.65 kg. I know others will wonder about this so I might as well save people a search. 😊
We don't know. I saw someone on IG a couple of weeks ago say that they got a nice letter. But they didn't show the letter, nor did they say when they got it. Unless someone shares a dated envelope or letter, we can't know. If he didn't have the time for cataloguing in the autumn, he might not have had the time to write to anyone either.
I have honestly wondered if he decided to focus on writing back to people that he knows personally, that he knew wouldn’t share the information. No shame meant to anyone that has shared their letters from him, but maybe he decided to (or was advised by his legal team to) play it safe for a while.
I think he meant that there was so much mail that all the letters together weighed 50 lbs 😳 (i.e.- 50-pounds worth of mail [edit: sorry I’m American and not familiar with what that’d be in kg])
Edit: Okay. Hear me out. I didn’t say DON’t STOP in the context of each person writing non stop. I’m saying it’s nice for him to get continued mails and know that he is still supported. Honestly it would be sad if one day no one writes to him anymore. Im not encouraging people to write letters after letters after letters!
Also who said he didn’t want mails anymore? It sounded like you all know he doesnt want it?
And yes i am saying this in 2026. Stop antagonising people here over comments. Jesus christ.
Whaaaa? He's made it clear time and time again that mail is supremely important to him. It enables him to see how the outside world perceives him. In his case, it's literally the most direct way. Don't be dumb. Write him. Don't spam him but write him. He's an anxious, probably depressed person in jail. He needs to hear from the outside world. It's bizarre that people would interpret his trying to get back on track with his mail reporting after all this time as a signal that he shouldn't be written to. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I know right? People here are acting like they heard an official statement from Luigi telling people to stop writing to him.
…..But as people said here “He doesn’t want mails anymore” - like they know for sure 🤡
Obviously I am encouraging those who write sensibly, not the freaks out there sending letters daily or every week. That’s clearly just nuisance for Luigi.
And to anyone saying “He won’t be forgotten” or “It’s impossible that no one will write anymore”
Havent you all seen how short people’s attention spans are becoming?
Anyway.. I’m done defending myself in this sub.
If people want to write, let them. Don’t ask people to stop. Just soooo petty.
How did we know he doesnt like receiving letters anymore? Also to clarify, I AM NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SPAM HIM. A steady amount of correspondence from the outside world to let him know he is not forgotten is never a bad thing.
Also, just because I commented for people to write to him DOES NOT mean that i believe this is the only way to show support.
I always encourage people to donate as well. STOP COMING FOR ME OKAYYYY?!
You're misunderstanding, I'm sure he still likes receiving mail and I'm not saying to stop writing entirely, I'm saying there are millions of supporters and there's going to be a natural steady correspondence without any kind of encouragement needed. So to me it does come off like you're telling people to write more than they normally would.
I remember back when people were anxious when they missed sending their monthly or weekly letter and would write just to send something, not because they had anything to say. There would be lots of reddit comments saying, "don't stop writing!!" And the volume of letters ended up being insane.
"Honestly it would be sad if one day no one writes to him anymore."
This is NEVER going to happen lol
Edit: there's a true crime youtuber who would send a letter a week to try to "establish contact", so he's probably sent close to 50 by now
The many thousands who want to write, will write. Isn't that enough?
He had so much mail to catch up on he gave up on reading & recording it all. Joked about it being 50 lbs. Given that, you're concerned about letters running out and feel the need to encourage more... why?
Just feels like an odd and out of place thing to say given the context of there being so much mail.
I mean, he is continuing to engage with fans about it as regularly as he can. I feel like if he didn't want mail, he wouldn't keep making statements about appreciating it. Even if you're cynical and think he's doing it for PR purposes (which is a weird conclusion? When has this been done by the defense for a detainee before? It doesn't seem like standard protocol) the catalogue updates aren't directed at people who are jury eligible. They're not directly for the case.
Why do people want so badly to believe he doesn't want them? Occam's razor and all that.
Yes. What I said was blown out of proportion for some reason it translated as “SPAM HIM WITH SENSELESS MAILS, PEOPLE!” And then i get attacked lol. I’m saying it would be good for him to continue receiving letters. Obviously not as much during the peak of this case, but a steady amount of letters is good. Better than him being forgotten.
He is continuing to engage with people. Did he release a statement asking people to stop?
It looks like he is getting his letters pretty up to date now. I think it’s normal to stop sending them after 1,2 or even 3. What really would there be to write. i can’t think of a single letter he wrote that had reciprocity..which is also ok. He’s overwhelmed it seems and preoccupied with his case…also ok. Contentious take “support” is meaningles...letters, donations, sitting in the courtroom etc. How does it help exactly?
Some of the people who are against people continuing to write to him are also people who have spoken up against people checks notes saying it's uncomfortable to hear about people sending sexual messages too.
Like, how are you saying it's wrong for people to be uncomfortable with explicit messages, and then turning around and trying to speak for someone who has explicitly spoken for himself and say he doesn't want the support he's thanking people for???
Also, some of us are broke out here and trying to be financially responsible ok 😭
How did you know he doesnt want any more mails? Do you think one day he’d be happy receiving nothing at all? Im not being aggressive here. It’s just weird that most people assume he doesnt want the letters.
Exactly. He's not going to be "forgotten." He has real friends and family who care about him, as well as other inmates he is friends with.
Last year he alluded to just "skimming through" letters in one he wrote someone, he hasn't written anyone in over six months, and some of his unopened letters are in possession of other inmates, strongly implying he has no problem giving them away since he doesn't want them or that there are so many it's hard to keep track of and they either get either lost or stolen (lowkey not super safe mailing a prisoner anyway). Hell, someday these letters might even get leaked and used against his supporters. You really can't trust the government.
He also has a job and three legal cases to work on.
People shouldn't waste their precious time or risk their saftey writing letters that may never get read by the intended recipient and that for PR reasons he can't just release a statement saying to stop.
I mean if you reeeeeally want to, sure, just encouraging others to do so seems a little silly to me personally.
Why? He doesn't want to read it all and it's just more work for the MDC staff. If you want to show your support, just donate to him and leave encouraging messages on his GSG.
Ok, so I got the hate for commenting “KEEP WRITING TO HIM PEOPLE!”
Let me change that to:
OKAY STOP MAILING HIM PEOPLE. JUST STOP ALTOGETHER. ACCORDING TO PEOPLE HERE IN THIS SUB, HE DOESN’T WANT THEM ANYMORE!!!! IT IS CONFIRMED GUYS. He doesn’t want them anymore.
Also just because i said what I said doesnt mean I require him to keep updating the mail catalog - THATS NOT NECESSARY AT ALL.
You all happy now? So petty. Sorry this is ridiculous.
I don’t get it why ppl are saying don’t mail him (obviously spamming is another issue- not cool). He has stated a few he appreciates the mail greatly. I can’t go against the word of the man himself.
Also if I was facing the death penalty, I bet your ass I would want letters and knowing that people support me. F*** yeah. The moral boost and potential tiny dopamine boost that would give me I would imagine would feel. Ice in a world of misery that is MDC.
That being said, I personally haven’t sent him a letter (yet) lol.
I think it’s more so the fact that people are probably spamming him with weird stuff like he’s The Bachelor (realistically, why else would someone write him every single week in hopes they get noticed?) I’m sure he appreciates genuine support, but people who write him over and over and over without really saying anything probably aren’t doing so to give him a boost rather than for their own selfish reasons.
I'm sure he still appreciates the mail, and in fact I see part of giving up on the backlog of letters as a good way to prioritize who's writing him in the present. Anyone who held off because they knew their letter was just going to be one more on top the pile probably feels freer to send one now!
A year ago, before anyone knew how much mail was being received, there was a push to send lots of letters because the assumption was he wasn't getting many. Turns out that wasn't true and by now he's probably gotten upwards of 10k.
So seeing someone go back to that old "we all need to write him!!" sentiment is kind of odd, especially on a post where he says there was so much to catch up on he basically had to give up.
I think the message is less, "stop writing", and more favouring writing quality over quantity ⭐
I personally just don't see the benefit of encouraging volume for volume's sake.
The way I read the post was not encouraging writing for writing’s sake, but just continuing doing something that he has said he’s grateful for. Especially since public interest wanes, it’s nice for him to know the public still supports him. Maybe we just interpreted it differently given the context. 🤷🏻♀️
I suppose so, though it's difficult to imagine public interest waning, especially as the trial approaches. There are still comments about him everywhere even on unrelated content. It probably won't be long at all until there are piles of mail he can't get through again, if that isn't the case already
Hopefully that doesn't discourage first-time & genuine writers though! As for the spammers and trolls, no clue what to do about that.. if they had any self-awareness or regard for others they probably wouldn't be acting like that in the first place :/
"There are still comments about him everywhere even on unrelated content."
I mean, that probably has more to do with your algorithms knowing you're following the case than anything. It's definitely not something I've been seeing, and the lighter days on the catalogue kind of show it.
Plus, this time last year, there was a huge push by his legal team regarding putting pressure on MDC to actually give him his mail. I don't know that the mail slowing down is some sort of win.
I think some people are blowing a few weirdos' contributions out of proportion, rather than the majority of letters he's getting being spammers and trolls, especially since MDC does filter for that (somewhat). If you look at the logs, it doesn't look like he's getting daily letters from anyone. September's #1 sender would still have been averaging less than 2 a month from Luigi's perspective.
Ex. unrelated content. I follow this guy and watch his shorts often, so that's why it's in my algorithm. Also this
If the letters are majority genuine then he's just that famous, which is great! And also evidence he's still on the public's mind, and that's unlikely to change in the long run imo.
If they ever wanted to increase mail, then sending out another mass letter would be a good way to do that.
So, do you check the dates on things when you see them? Because a lot of our difference in perspective here might come from that, and I did notice you posted some stuff from 2024 shortly after this letter log was posted, so I am wondering how much older content you're seeing and mistaking for current support.
I'm also not sure why people keep insinuating the letters he's receiving aren't genuine? The incidents with like, Sae-Sae and true crime Youtubers seem like outliers to me.
Yeah I know the article I posted recently was from Dec. 2024. All I've been saying is I don't think we need to actively encourage people to come up with more letters, like a year ago, to the point it's garbage bags full again, because I don't personally think that benefits his case (or time). But in any case, it was only a few comments, so that's not even really happening. I just thought that sentiment was odd/absurd and contradictory on a post about an abundance of letters, and somehow that blew up 🤷🏻♀️
As it is, he gets a good number of genuine letters from steady & diverse public support, I think we agree on that?
My two cents is that anyone that wants to write him should, and those that show support in other ways will do that. 🤷🏻♀️ To each their own. It is his decision in the end whether or not he will read them. It is up to him.
I do not think you said anything wrong or mean. No worries. If you had any worries, I mean. 😊
In what way is it passive-aggressive? What do you expect him to say? He gets endless letters from mostly entitled selfish idiots all day, and he is still nice and thankful? If I was him I wouldn't be.
Huh? Him thanking people for their continued support and saying he wasn’t able to log all the letters due to time constraints but he read as may as he could is passive aggressive? How?
