platonic mcyt oneshots (reader) completed

an 2

hi, it's been a solid minute (more like nearly a year, i last uploaded around august 2021). obviously, a lot of people may already know what this author note is about. to the ones that don't, i'd really advice for you to watch techno's new video before reading my thoughts on the entire thing.

i also wasn't really planning on writing this actually, i just thought of doing it because i was already back online and looking for a fic that i wanted to read again. i had actually been looking for this fic for a while now, going on and off with the search, but with me reaching back into my dsmp phase due to recent events, i thought it might be fitting to read to cope and reflect on good times (the fanfic description is in the comments btw uhh).

anyways, time to shift tones because this is super serious.

obvious warnings are irl death

techno's passing was very sudden to me. i was just getting ready and hyping myself up for volume 2 of stranger things to come out, watching several recap videos and compilations of the various stranger things cast when i saw the video pop up on my recommended page.

i had immediately clicked on it after realizing who posted it, disregarding the video title and assuming he was just quitting youtube to focus on himself. obviously that was not the case.

the moment i had seen the white background and the man, his dad, sitting on his own, i already knew what i was about to hear. and when floof trotted into the video and his dad pulled him up on his lap, i immediately burst into tears.

the rest of the video is a blur to me, i had to rewatch the video several times and that led me to cry even more.

but even after a day to really process what has been happening, it hasn't really hit me yet. like, i haven't fully realized that what has happened is true. that techno is truly gone. and i don't think that i'll fully realize it, maybe not in the near future at all.

but no matter how long it takes for me to process and no matter how long it takes for any of you, take your time. don't force it. processing death is difficult, no matter how close you were to the person. take a break from social media, take a walk. maybe eat something that you haven't in a while, or pick up a hobby you've been interested in taking up. reach out to the people you love, tell them that you love them and give hugs to whoever you want.

i'm not at all a religious person, more of an atheist witch if i may say, but i believe that techno is now in someplace beyond our understanding. some place where he is definitely conquering worlds and battling beings of extreme power, where he can watch over us and cheer us on.

he is with us always, never forget that.

stay safe. take care of yourselves and of others and know that i love you all, even when i'm offline. you guys are always in my heart, and i'm thankful for all the memories i was able to make through your comments and requests. thank you.
