As I am writing this, it has been 15 hours since the announcement of the death of Alex "Technoblade". If you haven't watched his final video and don't plan to, no worries.
You are completely valid. For those of you who are grieving alongside the community, it's okay to grieve. I can't begin to imagine how his close friends and his beloved family feel about all this. The pain of losing a loved one, a friend, is unimaginable.
I had always seen myself in Technoblade. Having only been 5 years younger than him and with a similar personality and set of interests, I related easily to him. He helped me learn to accept myself, flaws and all. I must agree with his words, I really am a nerd.
His videos had been a great comfort to me throughout my life.
I remember watching him play Skywars on the school laptops the first day of high school as a traumatized teen.
I remember watching him a year and a half later,. I remember watching him mess with Phil and Tommy with his goons before the pandemic caused a worldwide shutdown.
I remember the 2nd Potato War, after I had just started grade 9 and my school left for Spring Break, none of us returning. He was there, winning the Minecraft Championship with the rest of SBI, keeping a smile on my face as I prepared for high school .

For those who may not know, there has been merch released in remembrance of Technoblade. A portion of the proceeds will be going towards fighting cancer. You can also directly donate, if you have the means to do so.
"And I hope you all go on to live long, prosperous, and happy lives, because I love you guys." - Technoblade, "so long nerds", June 30th, 2022
Let's do exactly that. Let's move forward, sorrow and all, and show him that we can live on. He's watching us, always has and always will.
I read that once you die to cancer, the cancer dies too. You don't lost, it's a draw. And Technoblade never loses.
He will be remembered as an effortlessly talented, intelligent, friendly and witty man.
So long, my favorite nerd. You have been, and always will be, the one and only Blood God. I can't wait until we meet in the afterlife, so I can thank you and then give you a piece of my mind for that remembrance merchandise. Only you would do such a thing. I've never felt so happy in years
I have no regrets on watching you Technoblade,
You said that if you hundred more lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade every time, and I would choose to be your fan and supporter every single time, long live the king.

I remember watching him go against Dream for $100,000 during my first semester, days after my brother was born. Even as my high dreams slipped through my fingers, and I felt like a complete failure, falling into a deep depression, so close to ending it all, his content kept a stupid smile on my face.
I passed my grade and I'm now in grade 12 all thanks to him.
The world genuinely lost an amazing person. He has inspired so many, and so many rediscovered their passions and purpose thanks to him. Out of everything he's said, he was right about many things. I miss Technoblade very much, but, true to his word, he never dies. Technoblade never dies because he will forever live in us all. His memory and his impact will live on in the lives that he touched.
It's okay to grieve, it's okay to feel lost. I, for one, am devastated. I have not cried this much and have not felt so much pain since the passing of my father Figure and my baby sister 3 years ago.
We must remember to get back up again. Even if it feels hard and impossible, we can do it. We much live our lives to the fullest, no regrets. It's what he would have wanted. Continue to write your poems, your stories, your songs. Draw to your heart's content, play new games, cook new foods, try new things. Hug those around you. Tell someone you love them. Look at the stars, learn something new and exciting, help someone out. Life is too short for us to take it for granted.
