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.
