#that is what techno's legacy is

[royalarchivist]

Phil: I always love hearing about like, different stories -- especially from the teachers in the chat -- where like, a student or like just a member of the school has some form of like, Techno merch or like, does something that is clearly a Techno reference. I just love that. It’s ‘cuz like -- exactly what I was hoping to happen is happening, where people are just keeping his memory alive. Whether it’s through wearing, you know, his merch and stuff, or still supporting him through doing like, you know, just talking about him or making like their art piece about him, stuff like that. It’s very cool. Technoblade truly never dies, if everyone just keeps f**king talking about him. [Laughs] If everyone just keeps referencing him, which is very easy to do because he was incredibly funny. He has a lot of referenceable quotes and sayings.

#Technoblade #Philza #Emerald Duo #Phil plays Hardcore #Phil #In my culture (or at least; the way I was taught) grief is navigated through storytelling #you keep a person's memory alive by sharing their stories #American culture -- at least the part where I've lived -- seems to try and enforce the idea that grief is silent #that it's meant to be quiet and dealt with privately #which is. a very unhealthy thing #That being said; in the past I've hesitated sharing clips about Phil talking about this stuff #because grief IS personal and it felt inappropriate to share #even if hearing him talk about it made me feel better #but Phil's right. it's part of the storytelling. it's part of the legacy #I remember a few weeks ago one of my little cousins was talking about Youtube videos he's been watching #and he mentioned Technoblade and I froze up #because it caught me so off-guard. and he's obviously way too young to know what happened #But I sat down and I talked with him about Techno and told him stories I knew #And I told him about the whole ''Blood for the Blood God'' thing and ''Technoblade Never Dies'' #And it was really nice #It was nice to see a new generation discovering him and his stuff. #Sometimes stories are all we have #But Techno's legacy is cemented in our minds and it's available for almost anyone to stumble upon it #I've cried so much for Techno and I know that grief will never go away #but grief is a form of love too

every time i think about how the dsmp fandom has crumbled to 70 people and a corn chip i am sucked into an evil tarpit of emotion and grief

#cw grief #this is abt techno btw. i feel like ppl have willingly filed his legacy away with the trash #and thrown him out alongside the bad #when in reality i dont KNOW how other people feel let alone control them #and besides. people have probably moved on in a healthy way too #im the one still sitting here upset about it #i just. god. what a scale of emotion. why?? whys it so big? #this is normal for when media concludes anyways. ive seen fandoms shed plenty of times before. that part never stops hurting at least #thatd be the autism and my 2 new special interests i get every decade. #yeah. 2 per decade. #anyays oops ive spiraled. gonna go try to do somethign about it

I talked about this a little bit yesterday, but I genuinely think it’s so cool how Eret’s trying to include everyone -- especially the newer DSMP members -- in the new & upcoming lore.

#eret #dsmp #dsmp video #dsmp clips #<-- those are my two tags for these #on that post I made yesterday mentioning this #someone said it reminded them of how inclusive Techno was and how he did the same for Eret #and I didn't want to mention it in the original post #but that's what it reminded me of too #Eret's talked a lot about Techno and about their old interactions and their friendship #and like yeah this is something he probably would've tried to do anyways #but it also feels like a legacy #a reminder of old confidence and dedication to carry on that gift and pass it forward #i talk #dsmp talk #thanks Eret #He's collecting items and netherite for Aimsey and Hbomb and other people too #and it reminded them of the old L'Manberg days and I'm thinking ''yeah this really does feel nostalgic''

[smallishbabes]

Bitch is back 😎

Honestly, I wanted to come back with a comp/clip but I honestly don’t know where to start b/c I have so many I wanna do (which is mainly emerald duo and Joel of course)

I’m still gonna be making posts about him whether it be text posts, videos, reblogs like I’m gonna be so annoying about how much I love him. I literally was rewatching his videos a few days ago and my face kept hurting from how much I was smiling and laughing like that motherfucker is living in my head rent free even in the afterlife.

So yeah I’m happier now and ready to come back and be the fanatic that I am about my blorbos and skrunklies ;)

#non mcyt #i didn’t get merch of his b/c bitch is hella broke rn and that shit be expensive bro #i do plan on getting an emerald ring to remind me of phil and techno b/c I already wear rings and can’t wear earrings and necklaces #obviously I still miss him and would give anything to hear him like twt posts and give discord status updates. not even streaming. #but I’m going to treasure what he gave us and his legacy. always. b/c that’s what he would’ve wanted. for us to be happy and laughing #arah post

I am falling through a Layton rabbithole again and damn it, I might write a fic with crimeboys if I find the time and motivation to write a whole game's worth. God forbid I'm dumb enough to plot out the entire original trilogy. I don't have much but

Hershel Layton - Wilbur

Luke Triton - Tommy

Flora Reinhold - Niki

Inspector Chelmey - Schlatt

Dmitri Allen - Charlie

Claire Foley - Sally

Don Paolo - Possibly Fundy but not 100% decided

#holly's writing thoughts #dsmp au #if I did do the prequels Techno would absolutely be Descole for reasons that will be understandable if you've played Azran Legacy #also have you seen what a dramatic bitch Descole is? the vibes would fit #Layton and Luke are too polite for crimeboys but don't worry they'll have their typical brashness when I write them #and rest assured 3 men will not be heart eyes over Sally because that is so 2010 #She and Charlie were just really good friends and losing his bestie destroyed him #Fundy/Don Paolo is not going to be in this love square at all tbh #no guys watching from bushes here thank you very much #he probably made Wilbur his rival because he was jealous of his academic achievements or something idk

today is june 1st, today is what would've been technoblade's 24th birthday and it feels surreal he's no longer with us.

he touched so many people, changed so many lives, and made an impact on the minecraft youtube community that will never fade. despite everything, he leaves behind an amazing legacy full of accomplishments and kindness and humor, a community known for their generosity, and content people turn to even now for comfort.

and in that way, he's still with us. each one of us carries on his memory and legacy, always to be missed, yes, but always to be loved and treasured for the amazing person he was and the things he did.

i know he's looking down at us, amazed at how far we've come. happy birthday, techno. we love you and we miss you.

#technoblade #mcytblr #now excuse me while i go cry myself to sleep!

some thoughts/ vent

#I've been through grief before #but grieving someone you never really knew or met is a really strange experience #im letting myself sit with it tho and feeling what i need to feel #rest in peace techno you were so loved and this community is so special because of you #im so grateful to have known his content and seen his impact in the short year ive been in this community #his legacy will live on in all of us <3 #tw death

[orangeaesblog]

Man isn’t it insane that there is probably a whole group of people through the qsmp who are learning about techno for the first time? Especially Spanish / Portuguese speaking communities. At least learning purely through osmosis.

Just imagine being like “Who is this guy that that they keep mentioning? And they keep telling bed time stories about?” And finding out more and being like “what?? Oh. Oh OH.”

I hope everyone gets a chance to learn about him. His legacy is forever. Technoblade never dies.

i have an odd grieving process in that i sew. i’m not good at it but it’s creative enough to keep me busy and gives me time enough to collect myself and figure out how i feel. technoblade was a pillar of the minecraft community, he has had such a positive impact on so many lives. my whole heart hurts to have lost such a bright, witty and kind man, and my love and sympathies go out to the people around him . ik a lot of ppl are saying it but technoblade will never really die, his legacy will live on in the entire minecraft community, ppl will remember him and love him and miss him for everything he’s done for us . i’m glad he’s not in pain anymore but i’m sorry for what was lost in that process . i’m also sorry that the stitching is so messy and you can still see some sketching sorry techno my hands r shaky i’ll fix it soon

if you're still taking hot takes: a large portion of "dsmp" fanfics (sbi fics in particular) are actually just rpf fanfics about the ccs in alternate universes that claim to be about characters because that part of the fanbase views rpf as inherently immoral and thus feel the need to justify their rpf fics by slapping a /rp label on it

oh my goddd this one fr like "c!sbi is an established unit and then they adopt c!tommy into their family" is the premise of so many fics and THAT IS CC!SBI FANFIC. C!SBI DIDNT EXIST ??????? STRAIGHT UP DIDN'T EXIST . WHAT. "techno, wilbur, and philza made up the joint unit of sleepy boys inc and they adopted tommy within their ranks" is literally what happened with the streamers in real life like my god people . and when did that happen in the canon server lore ... ? LITERALLY NEVER ??

oftentimes fanfic in this fandom just borrows whatever dynamics they want from either the rpf or rp side like. "c!sbi versus c!dream" where the entire Point of it being "characters" is so that they can use their c!dream caricature evil dude (who coincidentally behaves literally nothing like c!dream)--like i'm sorry but i was here in 2020 and know what sleepytwt was like at the time, yall aint subtle (even if you're just carrying on the legacy of fandom members before you and dont actually even know the history you're writing lmao.)

#'c!sbi versus evil monster c!dream' like look as if sleepytwt hadn't hated dream since forever #like it's just rpf fanfic with the plausible deniability of using the characters to write whoever they want as an evil monster #even when the characterizations they use are hardly based on the characters in the damn slightest #anyway #my asks !! #dsmp hot takes #tw negativity #tw discourse #disk horse

Noxy from Hypixel tweeted about the book of condolences for Techno’s family!

[Image ID:

A cropped screenshot of a series of tweets by Noxy at Hypixel Studios @/Noxywoxy. It reads “As some saw from Reddit, we visited and delivered the books of condolences and fan art to Technoblades family on behalf of the Hypixel community a few days ago.

We’re consulting with the family on what’s appropriate to share but I would like to thank all involved in the process

Over 400,000 messages were moderated and printed across 22 volumes. A4 size, 600 pages each.

Each book was filled with the physical embodiment of his legacy and the grief and love of the community.

I can’t state how much it meant to his family.

I’m very thankful that @/snifferish and guest was able to join us and present the painting they spent the last year working on.

Together we were able to tell the family just how much Technoblade meant to us and the community and I’m really grateful to have had that chance.

We talked in detail about Technoblades journey from player, to player council, to gaining YouTube rank at 30k subs , Minecraft Mondays, Potato Wars. PIG rank.

Still processing the emotions from that day , but it’s clear his family were there for every step of that journey.”

I don’t know why but George’s “life is short but you had a massive one” really made me breathe out for the first time since I heard the news. Techno’s impact is massive and his legacy will live on forever. The lives he changed and I’m just glad he knows how important he is to everyone. And the love and humor he gave to the world will never die because it stays with us. Techno’s life was cut too short but he made the absolute most of what he had. 

[pinkelotjeart]

I don’t want to bring up drama from communities I only passively observe, but Technoblade will always be very near to my heart. So I find it kinda weird what dream is doing right now.

I am obviously not the biggest dream fan, so there’s bias there but seeing him use Techno’s legacy for a music video gives me the ick. Especially having a actor play techno in his hospital bed.

I’m sure he’s talked this over with techno’s dad, and I can’t speak like I know techno beter then dream- but something about this feels wrong. Especially with the cartoony costumes and stuff, it’s like making a drama out of this real death that happened.

Also the proceeds BETTER go to charity. He’s rich enough. Especially with all the other stuff with him seemingly not donating to the charity with the whole one of us event.

Kinda just wish dream wasn’t associated with techno

just saw your offer for book recs and would love some fantasy/sci fi books, it seems like we have similar taste. i just finished nk jemisin's broken earth trilogy, and also loved the city we became by her.

Aha, I am at work right now and thus do not have my bookshelves at hand to make sure I'm not missing something blindly obvious. However, I will start you off with these:

The Rook and Rose trilogy by M.A. Carrick (The Mask of Mirrors, The Liar's Knot, Labyrinth's Heart). Yes, this is the series I have been screaming about nonstop for the past few weeks and thus craftily suckering unsuspecting passersby into reading. An AMAZING world, an OT3 who own my entire ass, lots of political intrigue, cultural and social commentary, a unique magic system, and also plenty of humor. It really has it all. I continue my one-man quest to make this fandom bigger. Ahem.

The Green Bone trilogy by Fonda Lee (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy). Another fantastic fantasy series that NEEDS more readers. Inspired by Chinese/Hong Kong kung-fu movies, set in a gritty modern universe, kind of like the Godfather but with magical jade-wielding families. Tons of discussion of empire, culture, violence, appropriation, power, war, family, Asian identity, more. They're likewise nice and long to keep you busy.

The Daevabad trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty (The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, The Empire of Gold). Another you-gotta-read-this trilogy (yes, I have many of them). Set in the 18th-century Middle East and the magical djinni kingdom of Daevabad. Politics, empire, religion, history, intrigue, magic, scheming families, ancient wars, and my most beloved, Muntadhir al-Qahtani. What is not to love.

The Priory of the Orange Tree and its standalone prequel, A Day of Fallen Night, by Samantha Shannon. Absolute doorstopper (800+ pages apiece) epic-with-dragons-and-medieval-worlds fantasy, like Game of Thrones if Game of Thrones was a) good b) gay c) feminist and d) had people of color. She is also the author of the Bone Season series (four books thus far) which is a unique blend of futuristic sci-fi and fantasy set in an alternate totalitarian London and a ruined Oxford.

Winter's Orbit and Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell. Two M/M space opera romances (set in the same universe, but can be read independently). She got her start as a fanfic writer and it shows; these are both delightful, plotty, funny, and full of sassy gay disaster homosexuals in space.

A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine (I have read the first one, need to read the second one). Historian of medieval Byzantium writes space opera set in Space Constantinople which is also Space Tenochtitlan. Explores language, history, memory, power, identity, assimilation, and more, and is also very funny.

Autonomous, The Future of Another Timeline, and The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. High-concept social-commentary dystopian science fiction; of the three, Terraformers (the newest one) might be my favorite. They're not related so you can read them in whatever order.

Two books that I have not read yet but I really want to: Swim Home to the Vanished by Brendan Shay Basham and To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. Both are fantasy novels by Native American authors; Basham's is magical realism and Blackgoose's is about a Native American dragon-rider facing assimilation at an English (Anglish) boarding school.

Likewise coming soon and I am excited: The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport by Samit Basu. Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy, cyberpunk, techno-magic. In space!

There are definitely more that I will get home and be like oh wait yeah. But this should get you started.

i wonder what techno would have said to his legacy being lived on by his best friend and a minecraft egg planting a huge ass potato garden.

#philza #qsmp philza #qsmp chayanne #technoblade #i think he would have laughed and then bullied phil #its missing techno hours right now #i miss him so much right now #but in a nice way #just in a ‘what would he say’ #qsmp

[simplepotatofarmer]

techno is going to be remembered for so many things but i think i'm gonna remember him for the time ponk sent him a video of raccoons and techno not only watched it but replied to ponk with his favorite parts.

i think i'm gonna remember him for staying up to three a.m. with wilbur because wilbur was sick and didn't want to be alone so of course techno wouldn't leave him.

what a legacy.

#i really miss him right now #loyal talks about stuff and things #technoblade #wilbur soot #dropsbyponk
