Spare some gender?

I've known many people who've passed because of cancer. Acquaintances, friends, family. In the past couple years, two close friends in particular passed in ways excruciatingly similar to Techno, so this news has eviscerated me a bit.

There are never enough words to encapsulate my grief. There are never enough words to encapsulate my gratitude. There are never enough words to encapsulate what a person really means to you. There don't have to be.

You don't have to say anything. You don't have to do anything. If you can and if it makes you feel better, then absolutely go for it. But if you don't have the money to donate, or the words to eulogize, or the energy to do something in Techno's memory... Don't force yourself. Your grief does not need to be productive. Your heart is a strained muscle, be gentle with it.

If all you can do right now is hold the weight of this loss in your chest and live your life, that's more than enough. You are Techno's legacy simply by virtue of carrying him in your heart and keeping him in your memories and living. You have nothing to earn and nothing to prove to him-- Techno cared about you already, in the way he cared for all of his fans.

If all you can do is take care of yourself, that's more than enough to embody his legacy.

EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCKNO UO PFUSFUP HUISWHUTHBSFDOFUIDFUKJSHN FFJAUIFHKJFHJAOHFJKDSAHFAJSHFKJAGFS

For his community that he loved so much

Jack: Why is everyone saying "you brought your dog"?

OG MH fans: hehehe

I've been thinking about this all day, and I don't know what to say.

After crying on and off again, hoping for this all to be a nightmare, selfishly wishing for him to say "sike! Technoblade never dies" and having a breakdown for what feels like an eternity.

I still can't think of what to say that hasn't already been said.

I didn't know him personally, but for what it's worth Technoblade was one of a kind, amazing and just a spectacular person overall. On my worse days, I knew I could always turn to his content and feel relief, that everything would be okay if not today then tomorrow.

But that's already been said, thousands upon millions of times by millions of voices. Millions of voices who were touched by his personality, content and just who he was as a person.

and ya know what? I think that's beautiful.

that one person was able to touch the lives of so many people and that all those millions of people can talk about the impact that he had on their lives.

I wish this didn't happen, that things didn't end like this. But as cheesy as this quote is “Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." We were lucky enough to grow up with him, to see his growth and laugh with him. Techno loved his fan base if his final words are anything to go by.

I send my deepest condolences to Techno's family and friends.

Now, grief can take a lot out of you so make sure to spend time on you: Go get some water, a snack and just make sure you're okay.

Thank you Technoblade, for everything
