The memorial book is up. Feel free to share it with others who are grieving. I would recommend that you try writing a letter to techno, even if he never sees it. It really helped put my mind at ease. If the memorial book comes across as insensitive to his death, please let me know and I will take it down immediately.

I’m making a quote book for techno and for myself to look at when I’m feeling sad. Not all of these quotes are by techno but some of them just make me feel better. Gonna update when I find one that I think is deserving. Feel free to put your own in the comments if you’d like it memorialized

TW (?): Long rant about techno
          
          I’m so freaking tired of having to pretend i’m fine. my family doesn’t know who techno was so i’ve had to bottle up all of these emotions. Add that on to the fact that I’ve been working the entire weekend in customer service so I’ve had to tell hundreds of people that ‘I’m doing good’ when I’m not. It didn’t feel real to me at first and now it’s finally kicking in. I was scrolling through Twitter and looking at fan art for techno and I cried for the first time since the news broke. I’d come close before but this was the first time I broke down. And I can’t tell anyone because they wouldn’t understand. Ive been able to watch his videos because it lets me pretend that this isn’t real, but as soon as I see the grieving comments it’s like a brick to the face. I know Techno wouldn’t want us to be sad since he’s up there 1v1ing God but it hurts. and it hurts that I have to go through my days acting like my heart isn’t breaking every time I see his name. Every single time, I’ll scroll through Twitter and think I’m getting over it but then something makes it feel like the wound was cut open again. I watched Skeppy’s video and it hurt so bad. I’ll see Techno’s video in my recommneeed and watch it and lose it at ‘If you’re watching this, I am dead.’ The picture of him with tubes. It all hurts so much. I thought he was recovering and on his way to as healthy as he could be so this whole thing felt like a brick to the face. I’m so tired of feeling so numb and so hurt. I know he’s probably making fun of me up in Heaven but this is hitting me hard. Im crying as Im writing this. Having to put on a happy face when I want to break down in the back is hurting me but I can’t explain to anyone except you guys. I want him back. I miss Technoblade.

Pt 2) He was such a positive person that I genuinely thought he was recovering. It hurts knowing that he knew he was going to die, and it hurts knowing that Phil and Wilbur had to put on happy faces during VidCon when one of their closest friends had just passed. This whole thing just makes me feel awful. I wanted to start streaming when I started college but this is making me reconsider because it was always a goal of mine to get to know these people who have impacted me in such a huge way but without Techno it will feel wrong. Idk. He was such a huge inspiration to me and it doesn’t feel right that he would pass so soon. I don’t want say I idolized him (because god he would hate that) but I feel like I almost put him on a pedestal- let me explain- he said ‘Technoblade never dies’ so much and he seemed so invincible that when he announced he had cancer there was no doubt in my mind that he would beat it. Especially after he posted the video post surgery and started streaming again. To me, it was further proof that he was invincible and nothing could beat him. I was used to the radio silence from him because we all know Techno will disappear from times. Then I saw someone’s Wattpad announcement saying RIP and my heart sank. I went to Youtube and watched the video and i didn’t believe it. I didn’t see this coming at all, and it hurts to know that he had probably passed weeks before the video (since Phil and Wilbur didn’t want to ruin Tommy’s Vidcon, we can assume he passed before that.) It almost makes me feel guilty- I was having all of these great memories throughout April, May, and June between my graduation, hanging out with friends, etc. and little did I know techno was literally dying and was dead during some of these memories. I know it’s stupid because I had no way of knowing, but i still feel bad. Sorry for dumping all of this on you guys. I’ve just been bottling up my emotions for too long and I had to  spill them.
