#naya rivera death

[theredandwhitequeen]

11 years ago today we lost Cory Monteith and 4 years ago they found Naya Rivera. A very sad day. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long since both happened.

[lopeirce]

but you went away how dare you i miss you

[twopoppies]

I was in the Glee fandom in 2013 when Cory Monteith died. We then lost Mark in 2018 (although we couldn’t mourn for obvious reasons). Naya Rivera died in 2020.

The collective grief was nothing like this. I’ve been trying to work out why. I think it’s because we felt so close to the boys, they were lads from Britain - and Ireland - who were on a cheesy talent show and they turned into this behemoth. We were so involved and were really a family.

A month after Cory died we were sad but carrying on as usual. I can’t see there ever being a ‘usual’ without Liam.

It’s something very, very different from any celebrity death I’ve ever been aware of. It’s always shocking when someone young dies tragically. But I’ve never had such a sense of loss over someone I didn’t know.

I think you’re right that part of it is that we felt like family. For so many of us, One Direction and this fandom has been such a huge part of our lives. We felt like we watched those boys grow up. We knew so much about their hopes and dreams (even if we only knew a tiny percentage), so losing him before he got to achieve it all feels extra painful.

And then there’s just the shitty fact that he was trying to battle his addiction. He had so much he still wanted to do. And he’ll never have that chance. It’s heartbreaking.

Heather Morris posts loving tribute to ‘Glee’ costar Naya Rivera on the anniversary of her death | CNN

[iquirms]

does anyone ever think about the death toll that Glee has??? Like, why is everyone that was in it just dropping like flies?? was it a curse for being in the show? Like, Naya Rivera (Santana), Cory Monteith (Finn), Mark Salling (Puck), Robin Trocki (Sue's sister, Jean), Olivia Newton-John, and a LOAD of other people who only stared in one episode like judges at Nationals or Sectionals.

Whatever it is, I sure hope that Jonathan Groff does not fall prey to it because he is my idol and i need him to live

[hyacinthsdiamonds]

I wasn't sure if I was going to write anything about this or not, and the fact that it even has to be said is so sickening, but anyway:

Fuck anyone who is sharing those images of Liam. Fuck the people who took those photos, and sold them. May you also burn in hell alongside those who are sharing them.

Fuck TMZ but let's be real it's not new behaviour from them. Just the lastest in a long list of sins (leaking Cameron Boyce's death certificate, everything in the aftermath of both Matthew Perry and Naya Rivera's passing, & many more i have no way to describe other than evil actions), may they rot in the deepest pits of hell.

Leave his family and the boys alone. Full stop.

Leave Maya Henry the fuck alone. Full stop. After my initial shock wore off, my immediate thought was that that poor woman was never going to know peace again, and so many of you proved me immediately right. She is not to blame for what happened.

The boys are not to blame for what happened. Niall is not to blame for what happened simply because he was the last of the lads to see him. I get wanting someone to blame because it makes it easier to make sense of, but there's no sense in death. It simply is, and it's shit. It that doesn't fucking mean you get to harass, write vile things, or blame people who ACTUALLY knew him. You do not get to tell them what they should be feeling right now.

Like many people, I have complicated feelings regarding Liam. I'm not going to get on my soapbox and preach because I don't have any answers. I wish we were able to have more nuanced conversations. That multiple things can be true at once because they usually are. Are we going to have those conversations? Probably not, but I think we should. I'm not going to write much more than that. Enough people have already said what I've tried to far more eloquently that I could ever manage to.

One thing I do want to say is that no one should have things like this done to them after their death. No one. His son is seven. Fucking seven. No child should ever see that. No child should ever have to live with the knowledge that those photos are out there or that someone used and exploited their parent to make a quick buck MINUTES after their passing or that people gleefully shared it online. That's who we should be remembering through all of this, that seven year old boy.

[soldierandawar]

and i know i keep bringing up glee but i literally don’t have anything else to compare this to other than the death of cory monteith and naya rivera. these people being a part of things that brought me so much comfort and defined parts of me that wouldn’t have existed if not for their presence. it’s the definitive end of a person that ive spent the last 5 years trying to reach so that i could help them heal from the trauma that required the art these people were a part of to make it to the next day. and truly. truly. i am at a loss of how to move past this at the moment.

Rogue is now done for according to Mindhunter: Glee according to Rachel Berry's equilibrium from Finn Hudson's death from New Directions, his alleged disappearance is how Eva Green is now actually a prominent member of Harper St. James (Rachel's sister in the UK) league of extraordinary gentlemen in Doctor Who

irrelevant decisions made on Eva's behalf was because of Brittany S Pierce not taking initiative years after the TV show ended because of Hudson's death in reprisal to St. James honour (married to Rogue) now because of timeline events occurring on Deviant Art is actually transgressed with algorithm physics (actually mensa of the art universe now) but the subjectivity of the arts is where Demi Lovato is actually relevant to Green's metaphor likeability (her persona is not as you would see her if known for her lifestyle despite status)

so if you know Demi Lovato, she had been on Glee in an episode with Naya Rivera as her girlfriend but her emotional status quo led to Rachel's reasoning with Finn being underqualified for since he cannot cope with commitment (hence the show's ridiculous comparison to Euphoria as a reason to social commitment with society right now) making Schuester the lethal outcome to go since New Directions success cannot compete with the acapella circus to Anna Kendrick's reasoning with other acapella bands existing within Glee's alternate direction, so where was it actually going to go according to Pitch Perfect's (movie) perspective all along, so all point's given is how Harper (Lovato fan) was actually in tune with Berry's reasoning to New Directions success according to Rogue (Jonathan Groff's character on Doctor Who), so he did what he can to protect Harper from being psychologically tortured from Lovato's life from the conspiracy network that went Rogue due to religious reasoning of Harper St. James in real life according to Will Schuester knowing who Rachel's sister is behind cameras (mockumentary to Waynes World)

so Harper and Demi's circuits stayed true to each other all along with social normative values of true peace (Demi is actually a Muslim woman all along growing up with Harper (who has autism spectrum disorder)

Harper St. James (Harper Oberlin) was actually a Spade (Rachel Berry's real name before her parents made her go TV show Rogue for the West End than Broadway (where the real stars are at) is how she stuck with Jesse just so that Harper can be with him in real life (long lost sister connection in real life to Lea and reader)

[thebestoftragedy]

I think the only celebrity deaths that actually fucked me up when they happened were anton yelchin and to a lesser extent naya rivera. mostly otherwise I just go like damn that’s crazy I guess they had some shit going on we didn’t know about huh. but horrible freak accidents always get me

[hamletshoeratio]

Fuck tmz and the daily mail and every other tabloid chopping at the bit for details on Matthew Perry's passing. Fuck them for leaking the news of his passing before his family had been informed. A lot of his loved ones probably found out on fucking social media because tmz didn't give a flying fuck about ethics and some cop cared more about a payday than respecting another human being's life and death. This is not the first time, and it won't be the last, they did the same shit when Naya Rivera's death was confirmed (again, her loved ones found out on social media) and let's not forget that time they fucking leaked Cameron Boyce's death certificate and revealed that he had Epilepsy. Also fuck the paps who are hunting down Matthew Perry's loved ones trying to get the most exploitative pictures of them possible. Same shit they've been doing for the last thirty odd years.

The reason why news agencies, papers, journalists etc wait for the family to be informed of their loved one's death before reporting on it is because of what happened to María Elena Santiago, Buddy Holly's widow. She found out about her husband's death from the first news reports on TV and then suffered a miscarriage. As a result, in the aftermath, news agencies implemented a policy against announcing victims' names until after families are informed. We're going fucking backwards instead of forwards. Ethics and basic human decency really goes out the window the minute a couple of bucks is waved in front of people.

Heather Morris Feels Like Naya Rivera 'Never Left' 4 Years After Her Death

[autistook]

Bernard Hill is one of the only few celeb deaths that have made me weep.

Cory Monteith, Naya Rivera, Alan Rickman, Matthew Perry.

[logbush]

Naya Rivera.

on the wake of this day, you will have been gone for three years.

three years without you.

what are the words to say.

you were so caring and beautiful and you were literally that girl. i still remember and rewatch when you went on lip sync battle and did that big sean song that he wrote about you. you were that girl.

Santana Lopez continues to be the number one contributor to my figuring out of my sexuality. i hope you know the impact you had on kids everywhere figuring out their sexuality.

you were such an inspiration to me. you were never scared to say what you wanted and i try to model myself after that. you weren't scared of what people said about you.

a celebrities death has never hit me as hard as yours did.

i'm sorry it took until after you were gone for people to realize how amazing you are.

i wish you could see the amount of people who love you.

2023 in review

Milestones: 10 years since I completed fellowship and became an attending; 10 years since I moved to Oregon.

Places visited: Hawaii in February with my parents and sister; Yellowstone and Grand Tetons in July with my whole family, with a few days down in Utah; Iceland in September with J; Arizona a couple of times to see my niblings; Seattle for a few weekends.

Games played: Settlers of Catan, Dutch Blitz, Cover Your Assets, Codenames, Exploding Kittens, Zombie Kittens, Happy Salmon, Trails, and Dragonwood. Abandon All Artichokes was also very shortly abandoned and Tacocat was not as entertaining as hoped.

Puzzles completed: 2 (one Karin mostly did, and I just threw down a few pieces).

Movies watched: Wakanda Forever; Return of the King (in the theater in April); Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (terrible movie); Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (excellent movie); Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (stop making want to give up chicken!); Red, White, and Royal Blue.

TV shows watched: Battlestar Galactica (all but the last season because I don’t want it to end), Shadow and Bone season 2 (I am so mad that it was canceled), Doctor Who specials, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Great British Bake-Off, Heartstopper season 2 (and let’s be real, lots of season 1 again as well), Lockwood & Co (I think I still have the last episode to watch), Tom Jones (PBS), Good Omens season 2, Schmicago (so so good).

TV shows watched with @lucy8675309: The Mandalorian; Ted Lasso season 3; Star Trek: Picard; Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; Loki season 2; Fringe (we’re on season 4 and I love it so much). We started to watch the second season of Our Flag Means Death, but it was taking us away from Fringe, so it’s on the back burner.

Books read: 128 (!!!). Here’s a link to my storygraph account. I’ll do a separate sum up.

Audiobooks listened to: 13.5. My hope had been to do one per month, and Jonathan Strange took at least 3 months to finish, so I’m surprised I made it, but I did have a long road trip to Yellowstone, where I listened to 3 different books on the way there and back. (Carry On is the 0.5 – I listened to 2/3rd of it on the plane ride down and wanted to finish it by Christmas so switched over to the ebook).

Musicals/Plays watched: Moulin Rouge: the Musical (the movie is so much better); Ain’t Too Proud; My Fair Lady; Choir Boy; Hairspray; A Midsummer’s Night Dream; Six; Tina: The Tina Turner Musical; Les Miserables; Waitress (in the movie theater).

Concerts attended: Theo Katzman in April; Vienna Teng at The Triple Door in Seattle in August.

Music listened to: The Riversitter by Vienna Teng, Prayer for the Broken by Naya Rivera, multiple hours of classical music while visiting my parents.

Medical conferences attended: 2, one virtually, one in Phoenix, in August in 115 heat.

Medical conferences where I gave a presentation: 1 on a specific consideration on organ donation (the reason why I was in Phoenix in August).

Number of lectures given: 5 including to the NW Internal Medicine Society.

Nights spent in the hospital because my driveway too icy/snowy to get home: only 3!

Knitted projects: Wisteria scarf (a Christmas present that I finished in January); Anne, Diana, and Gilbert dolls were finished in the spring (only took me 2 years); Orchid and Gold Poppins scarf, Grandpa sweater (my first real sweater!), 3 scarves for Christmas (which are in various stages of finished and need to be mailed).

Number of skeins of yarn bought: … Just enough for a few more dolls and a sweater or two, and some Icelandic yarn and some yarn for my mom…

Notable fails: the annular solar eclipse (too cloudy), parenting succulent plants (3 needed the Plant Hospital, 1 is still in the Plant ICU), summer flirtations.

House repairs: every board on my 32×24 foot deck was replaced. I still have the two lower decks and the back stairs to tackle.

Visits to the beach: only once in June. Must be rectified in the new year.
