If you're a fan of his and you want to leave him a message, his instructions are in the video !! You can submit them on his Discord !!
And now, I have some words of my own I want to share, but TL;DR
He mentioned sections specifically for Ze, Nanners, and the Derp Crew, shared a moment with the Creatures at the very end, and I gotta say, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Chilled for everything you have ever done. May you get all the kindness in the world that you have given to your community <3
Alright my own thoughts now
I discovered Chilled because of SeaNanners tbh! Those old big GMod days, Gassy, Nanners, Minx, Chilled, Ze, and so many others. I was still in, what, middle school when I found them? I've now officially spent half my life knowing him and all his friends!
They really drove my creativity forward. I'd never made so much fanart, been involved in a community, made so many friends, had so many ups and downs and stuck it through because of them.
The Derp Crew was my freaking life, man. They were everything to me. I loved the energy they brought, and for all the memories they made, I will forever be thankful. The absolute joy and humor I looked forward to seeing on my feed because of them and the community they built. I am so happy I was able to connect with so many of you because of them.
I'm so happy to have grown up with them. I could not and would not have chosen better people to have looked up to.
Chilled was really a vital force in the community and all of his friends. His humor, his charms, his kindness- he always had compassion for everyone and everything he put himself into.
He brought so many people together and inspired even more to keep going.
So, Chilled, thank you for being a part of my life! I hope you continue to have fun. I hope all your adventures bring you joy. I hope that no matter what happens, you are happy with what you are doing.
And if we ever see you around again, hanging out with the groups, even if you're not streaming necessarily, I hope you still have just as much fun!
I'm so unwell right now. Oh my god. I'm going to sob. (spoiler: I am sobbing)
Confession: I have a clip that I saved for myself that I cut out of one of the Lockdown Protocol videos (I'll share at some point)
It was Ze and Chilled dead floating around, Chilled had a question about Discord/his computer and immediately turned to Ze without hesitation, asked his questions, Ze immediately paused what he was doing to help Chilled and they resolved it together.
Their friendship, all shipping aside, means the absolute world to me. I saved this clip because it was just... it was one of those moments they just shared, you know? Like, who else to turn to except your long time best friend who you...honestly can't even put into proper words how much that relationship must mean to you.
In case you guys don't know I am Ze's video editor (yay!!!)
But only for select videos :3 I appreciate everyone who watches the videos I've edited and enjoys what I put out 🫶🏼 your enjoyment is everything to me!
The most recent Lockdown Protocol was probably one of my favorites ever, and it received a lot of positive feedback, so thank you guys again! Always blown away by the support :)
Also, I'm trying to keep this my Art Blog so if you want other content from me, I'll be on @raakxchats !!
