i’ve had some sleep and i wanna put my thoughts down now. i’m gonna put it below the cut for any of my followers who don’t want this on their dash right now which i totally understand - but i wanna share with you all how i’m gonna remember technoblade.

i got into modern mcyt through smplive. i watched a lot of the lunch club guys, mainly schlatt and carson. i remember vividly watching them both during every minecraft monday, feverishly jumping between perspectives. i found techno then, and as most, i had no idea who he was. he was really good at pvp and dominated that competition, and that’s pretty much all we knew him as. i remember liveblogging the event to my friends and getting excited over how good he was, or posting memes on reddit about it. after schlatt and techno teamed for a week, i fell in love with his humor and personality and subscribed. it was one of the best decisions of my life.

smpearth wasn’t perfect, of course, but techno, together with pete and phil, took it and made something special and unforgettable. the antarctic empire pulled some of the best stunts i have ever seen on an smp, and the saint-malo trials is still one of the funniest events i was ever lucky enough to witness real time. i remember refreshing the smpearth map excitedly and laughing when i saw everything claimed by the empire - you have to have one kind of a brain to pull something like that off, and i’m never going to forget how fun and just... utterly ridiculous it was. thank you for the laughs.

the potato war speaks for itself. it was absurd, and watching it happen in real time was unreal. every update, every change in numbers, every taunt back and forth between techno and squid. it was intense, and at the same time so, so stupid. thanks for teaching me sun tzu quotes, of all things, while watching a minecraft skyblock video. and congrats on winning. you deserved it.

when wilbur and tommy were exiled from l’manberg and techno tweeted at them talking about helping out, i got so incredibly excited. it was minecraft mondays and smpearth all over again, in one. his character on the dsmp was one of the most unique and fascinating ones, he always cared about telling a good story, and he changed the flow of the storyline in so many unique ways. i don’t think anything on there would be the same without him. he made one of my favorite characters and at the same time made me hate him to his very core. i’m really gonna miss all of his storylines and the interesting things he came up with. it’s just not gonna be the same without him.

techno cared about his community and you could see that in everything he did. be it his interactions with his fans or even going out of his way to give us a final message, he always put us first and there are few youtubers who can say they are the same. he gave us great content, made us laugh every single day and made sure we got a final goodbye. 

alex was a selfless, kind person who raised thousands for various charities over the years, and who raised the money to let his siblings go to college. he tricked all of us into thinking he was called dave, so fair play to him for that. i hope his family is doing okay and know how loved he was. i wish i could have gotten to know him personally, and gotten to tell him all of this myself. he sounded like an absolutely amazing person to know.

thank you for everything. blood for the blood god, technoblade never dies, etc, etc. i hope you’re happy wherever you are now, and  know how much we will all miss you. things just won’t be the same on mcyt without you. i like to think god hesitated a lot more than you thought he would.

thank you for everything, techno <3
