Hearing these news, it was truly heartbreaking. The DSMP rlly brought me so much joy and especially to me when I got into it. It has helped me in times of stress and struggles to take my mind off reality. This fandom has its days but I’ve been fortunate to be able to experience it with many people and the awesome friends I’ve made along the way. Just seeing a big figure that has impacted so much into something that brought me so much joy, be gone now. It definitely feels empty and makes me appreciate the hard work and effort they have brought to make us happy. I didn’t think I’d feel this much but am now realizing the impact he has done for me. He was taken too soon from us and I pray for his family and friends.. Thank you for trying to make us happy and staying strong till the very end. Rest In Peace Technoblade.. You were a beautiful soul ✨
And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.
I know it’s so weird to say I’ve been mourning a guy I’ve never met but I can’t put into words how much techno meant to me. I know it sounds so cringey and insensitive to those closest to him but he was a genuine comfort during my worst times and I just wish I had the chance to thank him. It took me a long time to be able to actually sit down and draw something for him, but I am happy with this. I will keep drawing him, he means too much to me for me to just stop. I hope you all are ok. I hope his family and friends are healing. I miss Technoblade.
rest in peace alexander ‘technoblade’. you will be deeply and severely missed by countless.
there’s not much i can say that hasn’t already been said; technoblade was loved, and it showed that he loved all of us as well. grieve however you see fit, for this was a loss for us all. just remember to take care of yourself in the meantime—it’s what he would’ve wanted you to do.
consider donating to sarcoma research, whether it be directly or through his merch (which was very much like him to release, even in his final moments). it’s the least we can do to give back for all he gave us!!
lastly, i will be continuing to write for technoblade, and i encourage others to do so as well. make fanart, write crazy stories, do whatever you can to continue to share and celebrate the wonderful, wonderful man who gave us laughs and love. never let his memory die, because as we all know, technoblade never dies. not really.
I never would’ve thought that a man who made minecraft videos would connect to me and much as he did. Alex did you much for so many people and I’m happy he knew how much we all loved him. May the king take his final rest and may he be forever in peace, rest in immortal tranquility Alex, Technoblade.
If you’re reading the under the cut junk I honestly applaud you. This isn’t really here for any particular reason, it’s more here for me. If you’re not a big reader you’re allowed to leave, or heck—stick around, listen to my rambles about everything.
I remember when I found out, one of my friends sent the video and I remember watching it and, well I don’t want to say I didn’t take it well—honestly the most accurate description was that…I didn’t take it at all. In the moment I didn’t cry, I didn’t do anything except look at my phone and I remember just feeling shock. Some part of me wanted to believe it was a joke, a dream, that somehow it wasn’t real. I remember looking through the early stream on comments and seeing how people were reacting.
I knew it wasn’t a joke, or a dream. My brain just didn’t want to except it. I also found it odd how I wasn’t sad, or at least not crying. My eyes were dry, I wasn’t even shaking. I don’t think it really hit me yet.
Then later that night I was lying in bed and it finally hit me. It was when I was watching some compilations of Techno’s best moments and it finally hit me. It hit me like falling off a building—god it sucked. It finally clicked in my mind that this person, this man whose made so many people laugh, and smile, brought people together, lifted others up, was putting on a brave face after putting up a nearly year long fight to cancer—was gone.
He was gone. Gone forever, a whole person was gone from this earth and it took me that long to realize that. I don’t blame myself it’s a hard thing to grasp, whether old or young, an entire person just being gone from everything and not being able to continue on with their life hurts.
…
He died too young.
I was barely able to gather my thoughts through all the crying and sobbing I did that night. I was kind of a wreck today too, I just wanted to stay home. If I didn’t need groceries I would’ve stayed home haha..
After looking at others responses and all the overwhelming hope and comfort for everyone in the community I was finally able to find my anchor of comfort.
I found comfort in the fact that Alex is not hurting anymore from the physical pain and the fatigue that this most likely put him through. I found comfort in realizing that Alex is gone but he will live on forever through his impact, his memories, his friends, his family, and us; his community and fans. I found comfort in the fact that even if Alex isn’t here anymore we can still give our love to the community he built from the ground up and that this community has so much overwhelming support for one another. And lastly I found comfort in the fact that Alex had the absolutely audacity to create merch for his death, the actual craziness, hahaha man…Im gonna miss him.
The fact that he talked about it so casually too, this whole experience didn’t seem like big scary monster to him, he wasn’t scared. He was brave, and he was even joking about it, constantly—so much that he being worried made a lot of us less scared too. And I really appreciate that, he really cared for everyone he impacted.
We’re all going to miss him, so much, for so long. The grief from having someone of that emotional connection suddenly passing isn’t going to go away overnight, and that okay. We all deal with grief differently, but as long as we’re respectful of eachother and stick together we’ll be alright. Alex was an amazing individual, in the coming time that we all will be dealing with this I wish everyone in the community the best.
As long we keep these memories of him alive he’ll always be with us in some way and he will never fade away—besides I’d like to imagine he’d be pretty peeved off in heaven if any of us let that happen. We were so lucky to have him and he probably believes it was so astonishing that he had all of us. Rest well in the afterlife Alex, hope you have a nice view to watch all you’re loved ones.
Wait wait wait, thought. So if we know from TechnoDad that the rest of the TechnoFam is going with Greek mythology names, does that mean another name for the TechnoFam might be... The Pantheon?
(like I wouldn't cross tag them as that, but colloquially? Can someone with Reddit ask TechnoDad?)
Seeing the Dream team meet up makes me happy and sad. I'm typing this while tears roll down my face. I wonder if he ever got to learn what Dream looked like.
