I didn't remember much on how I grew to love his content, but I remember knowing him through my brother. A few days before the Mr. Beast duel, I remember him asking me who would win. Me knowing Dream more than Techno, I had chosen the former, and my brother the latter. After that, I watched Techno's analysis of the duel, and his methods of telling a story in a witty humorous way is what captivated me and it just spiraled from there.
I grew to love him even more during his grand entrance in the Dream SMP, and it just continued as he became one of the major characters in it and had impact the lore so greatly. I was so excited to draw him in my next animatic: 'The Fall', because I liked drawing him in the 'Techno vs Dream' animation, and more importantly, I can also continue the lore of Techno's hair design haha.
On November 16, after a huge lore stream, I tweeted out if any of the Dream SMP members could message me if they have any available clear audio that I can use. The only person who ever approached me was Technoblade, and was so considerate to make a separated recording of the entire stream which was so awesome!! Especially that so many people was just talking over his epic speech. What I find funny is that despite the recording having no game audio, and other people talking, I could hear the classic clicking of his keyboard that might have been louder than him in some moments.
On that same month, he became one of my patrons and I remember just fangirling so much. I didn't know how to thank him because I was still very anxious about messaging larger creators, thought my way of appreciating someone is through gestures. And so 'Hog Hunt' was made, which was pretty centric towards his character that he plays. I tried to be not as biased and give most of the members their moments, but this one's an exception haha.
After that, I made a few MCYT animations and slowly fell out of the fandom, although I would rewatch some of his videos that I really liked, such as SBI related content, Potato War, and videos with Skeppy. I would look up in some of Techno fanarts because they had the most creative designs of his character and I'd love each and every one of them.
Despite me slowly moving out of the fandom, he still continued to support me through patron. I did felt bad because of it, especially that he was going through a tough moment at that time. He did stopped, and it kind of felt weird that I was relieved. But I believed he needed it more than I do. That was the time I finally decided to send him a proper thank you message for everything he did. Not only did he supported me, but the rest of my family and my relatives.
That was a few weeks after the unfortunate news, I was having a break out of the internet loop, and so I had to hear it from my brother. I was in denial for 3 days and heck even now. I felt so regretful that I might not have thanked him soon enough. And yet I can't help myself but admire how despite what he had been through, he remained the cool, witty and funny person that he had always been even to the end. And the impact he left with everyone is now louder than ever. He had helped so many of his audience even if those actions can't be seen by many, he still helped so much anyways.
So with all that, let me say this again:
Technoblade, Thank you so so much. For the laughs. For the wits. For the skill. For the content. For the inspiration. For the community. For the friends we made. For the kindness. For everything.
If he ever read this, I bet he'd cringe. Good.
Farewell. Live on.

It's so strange how it feels like he's not even gone when you rewatch his old videos. But then once you've rewatched everything you re-realize how much you miss him.

there'll never be another person as witty, clever, talented, hilarious, or kind as technoblade he was taken too young

"From a skyblock potato god, an anti-government, to a standing legend." Damn, Technoblade. Damn.

Is nobody gonna talk about how deep the speech is??? There is like so many emotions as it and i can feel it because ive played skyblock from when techno was mayor and the line "We'll look back at where we started and be amazed by how far we've come"
-
"Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you are watching this, I am dead." These words still hit with all the weight of a downhill freight train, every time.
-
I really loved how he started his skyblock mini series with this, like I'll never be able to write a speech that fricken good.
-
the amount of constant support under this will never fail to make my heart cry, it’s already been 2 years since his passing and yet he’s still remembered and loved by so many. may he continue to rest in power and paradise.
-
I can't get over the fact that this video kept getting this amount of support comments since its release. It's great to know that his bright seems to remain unforgettable.
-
A man dies twice, once when his heart stops, and once when his name stops being spoken. Techno never will die, because the impact he’s made in us will remain for generations
-
“Oh boy, here I go crying again!” Rest In Peace, Techno. Even in death, you still make me smile through the tears.
-
“One day, we’ll look back at where we started, and be amazed by how far we’ve come.” Please… someone tell me why that is so deep and sad? That applies not only to Minecraft, but to everything. Let’s all take a moment to look back. To when we were all little kids. We played, were silly, and could do anything we wanted. We are now older. Most of us are teens, pre-teens, or adults. Some of us are still kids. It’s not the same. Isn’t it crazy how far we have come? R.I.P Technoblade. Rest in Peace? No, Rest in Power.
-
It’s been 2 years and this still opens like a love letter to Technoblade and all his fans. Technoblade never dies.
-
"When a man dies The cancer dies. It is a draw. Technoblade never loses." Rest In Peace Alex. Condolences to all of those who knew him
-
Technoblade was one of the rare individual where this line fits perfectly. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. His legendary content inspired and helped so many people. And as one of them I’ll keep it simple: Rest in peace technoblade, We’ll all remember you.
-
More than a year later this video still makes me cry without fail, rest in peace techno, thanks for everything

He's not gone, he's in our hearts telling us not to be sad. W vid sadist
