It's been eight years almost to the day since @isotoperuption passed, and I wish I could say things have gotten better, or at least, more stable in the world, so I could stop feeling glad that she hasn't lived to see 2023.

I miss you so, so much Captain-- you could fine the silver lining in damn near everything even as you struggled to find your own personal silver lining. You were a perpetual firework of enthusiasm for any endeavor someone undertook, and while I've tried my best to fill that void in the people you left behind, it's harder than you ever made it look.

I danced more than ever this year, and usually that helps, but I'm still crying at my keyboard at 10am. Maybe because I'm not just dancing for you anymore this year and last. I've lost someone else since then and I guess I just need to adjust to the weight--but I'll never stop. I'll never stop dancing for you, and for everyone else I've lost.

See you in the next cycle, Captain.

Diving back into Ghostbusters for the first time in two years has been a lot more emotional than I expected. I haven't touched the comics in two years because the very last thing I skyped to @isotoperuption-blog was flailing about the new comic that had just been released.

I found out later she died maybe an hour after I sent her that skype message.

Even knowing she wouldn't have wanted me to shy away from a franchise we both loved, it still took me two years to pick up where I left off. Sometimes things just cut so deep the best way to not pick at the scab is to step away from things.

The instinct was still half there to flail at her about the second half of the Ghostbusters International arc. Some habits die hard.

friends of isotoperuption

I’m going to hold a game of Cards Against Humanity this Thursday at 7pm EDT, time subject to change as we work out a time that works for everyone

if we get a whole bunch of people, we’ll probably either use a skype group call or a discord server instead of relying on text chat, but anyone who’s interested please hit me up and let me know so I know how many we’re expecting

happy asexual awareness week, @isotoperuption

I’m still aware of you, even if you’re gone :(

I know they wouldn't want me to be sad because it's not the pirate way of looking at things. You mourn your friends and move on. But fuck, man. Iso was so fucking creative and kind and always willing to talk about ideas and have a laugh and was a genuinely good person. Like honestly just GOOD. I'm gonna miss them. It feels selfish but they were a bright spot, I smiled when I saw their name. They were always, always kind. I couldn't never think of a bad word against them and I'm just. Stunned. And sad.

Goodbye, @isotoperuption, beautiful sweetheart, you shining inspiration. You will be sorely missed. I’m so sorry we never got to meet.

The Good Die Young

I still don’t want to comprehend it. I don’t want to accept that they’re gone. I lost my dear friend, isotoperuption here on tumblr, in a car accident Friday afternoon. The shock still is lingering. They were a good friend to me, I’ve overcome so many things thanks to them. It hurts to even admit that I’ll never see them again. Iso, I hope you’re sailing across the stars as a space dragon pirate now.

Rest in Peace, Isotoperuption - Age 28

At 12:30 yesterday on her way home from work, hurricane Hermine dumped lots of water on the roads, she lost control of her car, rolled down an embankment, hit a tree, and was pronounced dead on scene. I spoke to her just an hour before she died and she was happily looking forward to a new job interview and planning to attend my boot camp graduation in December where I would get to meet her fiancee for the first time.

You were beautiful, vibrant, kind, compassionate, uplifting, honest, inspirational and sincere and your joy and enthusiasm and confidence was contagious. You were one of the closest friends I’ve ever had.

This picture of you from Dragoncon 2015 captures you just as you SHOULD be remembered - gorgeous, sassy, and nerded out to the max, you fabulous meme loving weeaboo piece of shit <3 

I love you and I miss you so much. Your tumblr queue is still going and I don’t know what I’ll do when it runs out. 

I just cant stop crying

I’ll forever hold onto my half of the Pacific Rim “Drift Compatable” necklace you got me. You’re wearing your half in this photo. I cant believe my drift partner is gone
