I'm thinking a lot about mythmaking and Technoblade, because that feels very appropriate, I feel like he would enjoy living on as a legend through all these little stories.
So yes, he visited Wilbur in a dream to call him a loser. Yes, he visited Sophie in a dream to call her cringe. Yes, he jumpscared Michael for criticising the "elbow reveal" joke. Yes, he painted the sky pink wherever that happened. Yes, he appeared as a pig shaped cloud in the sky. If you make a potato farm, he'll be there in spirit to criticise its efficiency. If you call for him during a match, he might send you his energy (if he likes you). If you get the spaceship option in Guess the Build, you'd better pick that or he'll come for you. All of these little moments are really him, because he is a larger than life figure. A true folk hero.
And yes, when you hear thunder, that might be Techno taking on the kingdom of God. (Call it proactive atheism.)
It's all ridiculous but that's as it should be to be honest. He was a ridiculous guy.
And I feel more comfortable with this kind of thing than I do with thinking too hard about Alex (I feel weird even calling him that) and the very personal tragedy of his passing. It's true that he and his family and friends shared some of that with us, but it's not really ours I think. But the legend of Technoblade is.
"he really loved you guys a lot. even if you hated him; if you gave him views, he loved you. no, he loved his audience a lot to the point of ignoring advice because he really really loved you guys a lot.
and im sure he'd be embarrassed as shit to see the outpouring of love. if i know technoblade, he would have been so embarrassed but he'd love it. as someone who embarrassed technoblade on the daily, i know he'd hate it.
he'd say "i should do this more often"
i only knew him three years, but i enjoyed every single year. i'm so thankful for those three years, and every adventure.
12 million subs; if he was still alive, he'd be rubbing it in tommy's face
i have one request of you before we go away; i want you all to do your best to remember him for as long as him. not just because it's good to do, but because we're gonna keep making inside jokes about him, and if you don't remember him you won't understand.
please, remember him.
and maybe when one of you are a big streamer, you can say your big inspiration was technoblade, and it's true. you can say it and i'll hear it.
Honestly shoutout to Technoblade for somehow managing to be essentially a faceless youtuber despite having technically face revealed a while back, a skill which nobody but him has achieved
Something about schlatt's character...the apples really sell it y'know? There's just something so right about it all that leave me so wonderfully unsettled.
When charlie went down into his basement and there was there he was, surrounded by those apples--chills--
