just some thoughts i’ve collected about techno’s passing over the past few days
i think what hit me the hardest was techno knew his illness was terminal the entire time yet he still cared so much about his fans and stayed strong for us. he didn’t have to yet he did. people told him to rest but he continued to make content. he knew he wasn’t going to make it to the end of vidcon but he spent his last weeks making merch and his last hours writing a final video. he cared so much.
i’m in a weird state right now. part of me thinks i shouldn’t be mourning this much and yet i am. i didn’t know him but he affected a large part of my online routine. it’s weird to think he’s never coming back, there will never be new content or random surprise interactions. he’s never going to pop into vc again. he’s left a void and im unsure of how to proceed
he always seemed larger than life to me. it’s hard to comprehend that he could actually pass. the news hit me so unexpectedly and i didn’t know how to feel. he stayed so strong the entire time and i was so sure he was going to recover. i admire his tenacity and eternally grateful for it.
i hope his friends and family are doing well. rest easy technoblade, and thank you for everything you’ve done.
