Tommy has demons, more than the average teen. Not the kind you'd expect though. They don't have little horns and sharpened teeth. Tommy's demons have no specific form. They speak to him through the mirror, they live in his head, stare back at him th...

I just got home from a trip out of town and didn't have wifi or any way to access social media platforms. So when I got home after unpacking, I sat on the couch and opened up my phone to see 'so long nerds' as the first video.
For a moment I tried to convince myself it was a prank, or an elaborate scheme as his way of telling us he's cancer free, maybe even him leaving YouTube, anything but the first thought that came to my head.
But of course because the universe is a complete dick, it was. Normally when people online say they sobbed, or cried it's an over exaggeration, this time it wasn't. I sat on my living room couch quietly sobbing and technos dad told us about him.
The whole time I blamed myself for not seeing it sooner, not donating to his channels more, not watching more of his videos, but I knew that this was all out of my control, or at least that's what my mom thought.
They don't get it.
Nobody but us get it.
Everyone will tell you 'he was just a stranger' 'you have never met him' 'you didn't even know his real name'.
But we knew him
He was part of our second family, where we could go whenever the world was shit, and feel better. Where we could go where we were accepted no matter our race, age, sexuality, or gender.
We lost a brother
We lost a friend
We lost an idol
We lost and inspiration
We lost a comedian
We lost a gamer
We lost a streamer
We lost a potato farmer
But it's out job now not to forget him. We can't let anyone forget what he did for us, for everyone.
So thank you Alex, for being there, even though you didn't know us.
You did more good than most can comprehend.
