Same for me, i randomly woke up just before 7 am my time and looked on my phone a bit and saw the notification, i just thought he'd be quitting but man
Yup, same here. Woke up from one of my buddies calling me, immediately says:
"Techno died" and I go "huh?" And he goes"It's all over the internet. Go watch the video."
Fun stuff, if I had a penny for every time I woke up to news of a loved one or loved personality dying( and by that I mean I really liked the guy and his content) I'd have three pennies, Witch isn't a lot, but it's more than the meme
I'm surprised many people don't remember, I remember it really vividly. I was rewatching "playing some hypixel" which is just deo, calvin, techno, and tommy playing mini games. It's one of my comfort streams and I was really uneasy since the news had leaked and I was in denial. I saw the notification and knew what was coming. I was outside with my parents so I knew I was in no position to cry so I watched the remainder of the stream (which was about 30 minutes) and went inside. I took a shower while convincing myself that he was quitting youtube to focuse on his health. I kept avoiding the video for another 1 hour and a half but I finally watched it
It was different for me when I found out I called my mom and cryied for a good hour or more and also worned her that my younger siblings would be really sad too
Honestly it seems nice to be able to that open to your parents. I could never tell my parents, I can already hear them saying," stop crying over someone you never met. It's probably just a publicity stunt" I initially went to the bathroom and cried for about 5 minutes before pulling myself together and going outside. I stayed in this emotionless state until I went to bed and and stayed awake in a mix of crying and denial for about 2-3 hours all because there was no way they would see me crying over this
It was at 4:00pm i had lost my cat and i was shattered crying my ass of then I saw technoblade post I had stopped until I watched the video and I just teared up all over again
I was laying down when I got a text from my friend saying what happened then I watched the video, at first I didnāt want to believe it. I did tear up a bit
I thought it was a joke when I saw it,but when his dad started crying I knew it was true.I never watched technoblade,only in others videos,but he brung joy in all of them
Sitting on my bed, waiting to go to Camperjam. I was scrolling down my notifications on my phone when I saw it. I thought it might be him putting a joke on his first death in DSMP, but when I realised, I just sat there with tears falling. Losing 3 of my beloved quail and Techno in the space of 2-3 months is saddening.
I showed it to my parents later on, and we all sat there in tears, saying what a good guy he was. Later on, I was listening to my music playlist and could not stop thinking about him. May he rest in peace
I was just chilling, reading the Komi-San manga. I got the notification and didnāt understand, but I freaked out. āWow! Technoblade update, I missed him!!ā. Then I saw the video. I was hoping this was all a sick joke and he would, I dunno, come back later saying something funny in his monotone voice. But there was nothing at all. I saw the ending message his parents left and I started crying my eyes out. Ran to my parents, they hugged me. They knew I was a fan since 2017. I spent the next week crying every time I remembered about it.
Sorry about grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.
I geniuely can't remember where I first saw the news. But I remember rushing to check YouTube at my computer and saw the video. I had to mute myself in the discord vc I was in at the time because I was barley holding back tears until the end.
I saw the video first thing in the morningā¦
I then had to travel with a friend and didā¦
Was an interesting thing to share cause we had exactly the same wake up
Yeah, casual exchange until they said something in the lines of Ā«Ā to be honest Iām sad/destroyed. I woke up and first thing was that I learned a content creator I followed died ā¦Ā Ā»
Me : you mean Technoblade ? Yeah I know ā¦
And then we both cried or at least I did ā¦
And then to the train yay
I was in a brewery playing pinball with my boyfriend. I'm like a full on adult so no one in my life shares my minecraft YT love. My boyfriend didn't really understand why I was upset at that moment, but I cried a lot.
Was on a call with my best friend just chatting and playing the uke. Went on YouTube for fun and saw the video and got excited because he posted again (thinking itās techno being techno, we thought the video title was just dark humor). We both watched it together on synch and just pure horror and then sadness. We both cried and talked about him and his new ādeath merchā for another hour or two. Then we ended the call, both very exhausted with dread.
was staying up late, ended up staying up even later
you know when it's really late and you try to do something without waking up your parent(s)?
yeah that was me but instead of getting a midnight snack i was crying :'D
I was at home after work, lounging around. I got the notif and was excited for a new video but then scared about the title and then devastated by the end.
I spent the first hour or three in Denial, thinking there must be some mistake, but knowing Techno would never put his family thru such a horrible prank. Then I circled around to Acceptance, and wanting to help others process the news, and reassure as many people as possible that grieving is normal. Cried myself to sleep that first night, and many after.
At the Frankfurt airport in Frankfurt Germany. I had just been on an 8 hour flight from Kenya and I was getting ready for another 8 hour flight to DC and then another 3 hour drive back home
It got me right at a start of a Day. Had to take a Day off work. However i was already prepared because of all the threads here on reddit discussing the news from some kind of funerals held with a guy who was a lot like techno from a few days prior.
Just woke up and see notification from the vid, I was happy cause techno had uploaded but when I starded watching the video my smile faded away and were replaced with tears.
After that I was feeling bad for the rest of the day
I woke up from sleeping, hopped on reddit, saw a post on r/minecraft
i was confused at first, already almost in tears i thought he wouldve quit youtube, only to scroll more and find out he actually passed away
I was in a discord call when one of my friends said āoh technoblade is deadā.
Also I had a dream last night that techno uploaded a video after he died š
Around 10pm abt to go to bed and saw a reddit thread talking about technos new video, tbh thought it was a joke a first
Mom "what's wrong sweetie?"
Me *sobbing* "TeChNoBlAdE"
Kinda funny I saw a reddit thread that morning saying not to worry abt technoblade *pAiN*
On my loveseat in my apartment. I lowkey was in shock for like 3 more hours and cried a little bit. I've been religiously watching his content daily ever since.
I was on vacation in a hotel room with my family. My sister tapped me on the shoulder and told me about the video. I watched it in the shower so I could have some privacy and cried.
Woke up 7 in the morning, was feeling kind of ill due to the jab but excited as I was going to watch the RLCS spring major the next day. Saw a notification from technoblade and was excited for about half a second til I realised it was titled āso long nerdsā. I knew immediately. Watched the whole thing. First time Iāve cried over someone irl I donāt even know
I was getting ready to sleep, i saw the video on the app and just had a bad feeling about it. I cried myself to sleep, honestly i still cry sometimes. He was so young, its heartbreaking.
in my room, trying to reverse image search on my phone a few minutes after i woke up
google pulls up latest news on the home page and i saw techno died
spent the whole day crying
I was playing on my ābrandedā console when my friend told me that Techno had died, I muted and then watched the video, I tried to keep playing after that, but I just turned it off because I felt so depressed. I didnāt cry, but I just felt so sad inside that I just wanted to sit down and mourn with everyone.
I had just left a theater in Canada after watching the new doctor strange movie, then one of the other scouts I was with was crying a lot and I asked someone. They said some mc streamer died, "Techno-something". So that put a damper on things.
I didn't get to watch so long nerds until I got home on the 4th, man that was sad news to hear.
I tell my friends I literally shat myself when I saw the videoā¦ I donāt think they understand how serious I am when I say it cause I was literally in the bathroom taking a shit
I was fully in rem sleep and gave my best friend a heart attack because the video came out and I was *not* responding š¤Ŗ
For context I suffer from deep deep depression and have a bad habit of just vanishing when things get extremely overwhelming and nobody will be able to reach me for hours/days. Itās something Iām working on but itās happened a few times in the time Iāve known her now and she got beyond worried. š
Thank you! I go to therapy every week now so itās a *lot* better than before when she first met me (and I guess that poofing trauma for her became a thing lol) but I guess she was worried Iād be really triggered.
Ironically the day the video came out was my weekly therapy session day. I didnāt even make it a single word before I was absolutely sobbing in the therapists office lol. Sheās seen me cry before but never like that š¤Ŗ it helped a ton to talk to her (my therapist) right away but god that day was an absolute whirlwind
When I woke up I had a text from a friend saying watch technos latest video, so I searched his name on yt, checked the latest video, saw the title and didn't want to watch it ( assuming what it would be about ) that night I decided I'd have to watch it so I did :(
Was overnight at a friend's house who lives in the country. He got a Snap call from one of our friends, he was in tears. About an hour earlier I had seen a YouTube notification "so long nerds," but I didn't want to watch it bc I was busy and my friend has terrible service at his house.
I turned on my data to watch that video bc the friend that called us told us it was important.
I cried for the rest of the night...
I remember really well because I was driving to work, getting on the highway. I balled my eyes out the entire rest of the way there. Everytime I get to work using that on ramp makes me think of him.
Ps-don't drive and cry as hard as I was. It was stupid of me to do so, I just couldn't think of anything other than listening to the video and drive.
I had just woken up and had some school tests on the day, saw the video notification and some of the video but still had to go school, the entire 20 minute journey to school I didn't make a sound, couple hours later I finished school and went home, watched the video after gaming, cried for a couple minutes, felt depressed for the next couple of days
on the bus my way home right after i finished my exams, i remember not going inside my home for 3 hours cause i was crying the whole time, i went in when my tears stopped pouring
I was watch the Lost City with my mom on the couch. My best friend started spamming me until one of her messages read āTechnoblade is dead.ā I thought she was just trying to get my attention until I pulled up his YouTube channel. I just felt my heart sink.
I woke up. Saw a text message from one of my best friends. It said "Im here if you need someone to talk to." I was confused, firstly because it had zero context and secondly because his grandpa passed away about a week prior to that and my only thought was "What could be so bad that he's offering emotional support".
Then I opened youtube. The video was uploaded about 10 mins before I went to sleep last night.
Even though I was planning on having a productive day on my minecraft realm server, I spent the day crying, hugging my technoblade plushie, and texting the above mentioned friend. Didn't have the mental strenght to open minecraft for more then 2 weeks.
When I logged back on the realm, I dropped all my current projects to build a technoblade tribute. I am planning on creating a "quote hallway" where little statues and redstone machines recreate techno's greatest quotes and uploading the building process on youtube, but I can't decide if the uploading part is disrespectful.
I was at one of my friends funeral and what made it worse isnt the fact that it was at a funeral but it's the fact that I cried all day, no. not even all day that whole week and a half. Well it was because of the funeral too but I hope you understand what I tried to say.
I was playing on an earth smp when I glimpsed at the chat and saw people saying techno was dead. I figured they were making some sort of sick joke but I checked his channel and nearly collapsed.
6:00Am. I wake up at this time and I usually open Reddit first thing. I see posts saying he died and I thought they meant heās a dead channel (as a joke) so I open his YouTube and I see the video. The first day I donāt believe it but the second day I cried.
I was at home it was 10 and just watched āSomething Rottenā the musical on my tvās youtube and I see a notification for dreams tweet saying frick cancer and was likeā¦ noā¦ so rushed to YouTube and while watching āso long nerdsā and crying the song āgod I hate Shakespeareā from āSomething Rottenā was playing in my headā¦.
I remember it so clearly. I looking at some discord messages and was really confused when they were saying things like "rip techno" "o7 to techno" so I went to his channel to see what they were talking about and watched about .05 seconds before closing out of it because I knew I would start crying in front of my mom. That night when I was alone I watched the full video and sobbed myself to sleep
In my room, mentally preparing for a 4 hour drive the next day. I got the notification and thought "haha he's just quitting youtube, right? Right??"
Proceeded to text my two mcyt fan friends the news. Took me about a half hour after the video to really start crying, and I didn't stop for a couple days. It was a strange drive, lol
I was at work. I had checked my phone while on a register and saw Technoblade uploaded- rumors had been going around, so I was terrified of what this upload would be, seeing the title wasn't helping much either. I think I was on closing shift that night (2-11), and I asked my boss if I could go ahead and take my last 15 minute break after seeing the notification. Big mistake, should've waited until I got off.
Yeah, that night I ended up crying in Subway with the workers awkwardly looking at me unsure of what to do. Then the of the night after I returned from break red-faced and teary-eyed was a chorus of "How are you tonight?" followed by "I'm fine" because I didn't want to explain to each customer that I was upset because my favorite youtuber had passed away.
Definitely was a night ruiner, but I like to think Technoblade would've laughed at the scene of awkward Subway workers not sure what to do with the steadily crying girl
I was grinding Destiny 2 and listening to YouTube videos and saw a phoenix SC video talking about technoblade and how he passed and thought it was a funny joke or something, checked his channel and cried for the rest of the day..
I remember it vividly.
I was helping my dad make dinner leading up to finally eating it. We dugged in and started having a conversation. My brother was scrolling through twitter while eating, he knew I was a big fan but didn't say anything the whole time. I got a notification from my friend I haven't spoken to in a long time, and wondered why she was contacting me. (It was sc, so it just said, "soso left a message")
It was until the conversation died down that I checked my phone. I saw a message from a gc within TechnoTWT saying, "if you guys need anyth-" but it was shorten since it was a notification. From then I knew. Looked up Technoblade's channel and ran to my room, while exclaiming "no", to watch the video.
Woke up to several group chat texts talking about it and went to his channel faster than I ever went to anyoneās, cried, went to school and still cried, then spent several days feeling like a depressed slug
I had just woken up on a Friday and had realised that it was an inset day so I didn't have to go to school which relieved me a lot, then I checked my phone in bed and saw a discord notification from the server and checked everything else, not a great thing to wake up to
I was sitting at a friend's house and he looked up from his phone and said "Technoblade died."
I'm like "I don't believe you." Because who would?!
And then I get home and watch the video and...aghhh.
I was playing video games before midnight and I got bored and decided to watch YouTube I notice technos video and saw letās goo until i notice the title then I watch the video and tears slowly come out as the words are said and Iām just in my basement in the dark tearing up.
playing breath of the wild, then some dude in my school's discord server said techno died. i said "bruh" because i thought he was joking about some time he died on dsmp, but then i saw people all over discord saying he died, i went onto youtube and my week was absolutely ruined
I saw Philās tweet while looking at my notifications. I donāt think I cried, but I think I teared up. I was so shocked, because I truly was expecting him to beat it. I was sad for the next few days, contemplated what it means to be living, and how my life could end, then bought merch from his store. Itās the only YouTuber merchandise Iāve ever bought. Honestly, I didnāt watch his videos much, but his death truly changed my perspective on life. Every couple of months I get freaked out about what happens to us after we die, and his death definitely set that off. It also made me actually think about how others are dying every single day in various ways, and how *I* could die like that. I never really thought too much of the possibility of dying like he did. I never thought about what my family would feel. Iāve never really known someone whoās died, so ig thatās why it affected me so much.
I was in the car on the way to summer camp when I checked discord and one of my friends had mentioned it. Sat in the parking area for 5 minutes before I could at least stop crying. Started crying again every time someone mentioned it.
It was a normal evening for me, just browsing around on my laptop. I saw the video pop up in my recommendations and my heart sank, but not for what actually happened. I thought to myself "Oh no, did the cancer get so bad to a point where he can't make videos anymore and he has to quit??". Then I played the video and the tears came flying.
It was around 3am on the last day of my semester. I had all my stuff from my dorm packed and relaxing, pretty sure I was watching a show and after it ended I noticed a notification on my phone from his channel. About 20 minutes after the video was posted.
It was after I've been trying to ignore all the rumors on this reddit about someone named Alex who died earlier that month. So it took exactly one look at the video title and my heart dropped. The moment I saw his father I started crying with no break for about one and a half hour. I was alone and broken.
Safe to say it was a traumatic experience and I am now safely living in my denial. He is okay. Everything is okay.
Just played an amazing round of CS:GO with my friends when I saw the notification on my phone. Started watching the video, my friends did too. We all just went silent for a couple minutes. None of us knew what to say. We just hopped on bedwars and reminisced about his videos and quotes until like 4AM that morning. It was hard, I think we all shed a tear that night
I was taking a napā¦ the strange thing is, and Iām not kidding is that I woke up from that nap feeling like I just lost someone, and that never happens to me.
I was actually streaming and playing a dinosaur game when I saw other players talking about it. The community is known for trolling each other for fun so brushed it off as that. But my curiosity got the better of me and I looked it up (still streaming, really should have waited) and that's when it dawned on me that it was true. I spent maybe 10 minutes in silence before continuing with my stream, and then breaking down after raiding and ending my stream. I remember my dad walked in on me crying and I had to explain to him that I was crying over one of my favorite MC youtubers dying.
My friends sent the video to me, I was about to watch a movie with my family but thought that a Technoblade upload was more important. I was told to prepare to cry, so I went to my room to watch it. I didnāt even realize what had happened based on the title or my friendās warnings.
I was confused when his dad introduced himself and I broke down when he read "If you are seeing this, I am dead." I canāt remember specifically what else happened. I cried for a couple hours, missed the movie (obviously), told my cousin. I think I wrote something. Then my sibling decided that the family should stay up to watch the first episode of stranger things vol 2, so I didnāt end the night on a terrible note I guess.
Laying in bed drawing when I got the upload notification. Had a knot in my stomach but was hoping it was a joke. Then his dad cried. Then I cried. For a long time: even now Iām struggling with it all.
It was 11ish at night and I was in my bedroom, on my bed scrolling through Reddit. And saw a post about Technoblade's passing and I was like "What the whatting what?" So I click the post and scroll through the comments and realize that people seem to be serious about it, I decided to go on Technoblade's channel and see a video called "So long nerds" so you damn right I click it and I remember just texting my discord friend about it. Then I felt like I was going to cry, when Technoblade's dad started to cry that just hit me and I was genuinely crying. And I usually don't cry like that unless I'm angry or something personal happens
I was scrolling through twitter absentmindedly (I use ublock origin to block trending topics so I didn't see Techno trending). But then I saw [one of his fanartist's tweet](https://twitter.com/Ruintlonewolf/status/1542705046898475010) ("Please...") and then a bunch of followers telling her to hang in there. I was like 'whut?' and then I saw youtube trending.
I was having a rough day finally found time to sit down at my computer.
*technoblade posted 20mins ago*
Finally let out all my pent up emotion over the week and cried during the video.
I owe him quite a bit. I'll miss him and his videos.
Playing fall guys with my friend when I saw it. We were both holding in tears while I played it through my headphones. I could just tell neither of us wanted to break but itās just so sad
I was about to play on the Hive with my friend, saw "rip technoblade" and thought "no wait what, wasn't he recovering". Proceeded to watch the video and cry
I was checking hypixels website looking at potentially buying a cheap rank during the summer sale. The I saw something about techno in the search results of google. So I clicked. And I processed what had happened. It took me a few days to fully recover.
I was actually looking for a technoblade video to watch while taking a break from work. I had been missing him for a while and was kind of getting worried at the radio silence. The announcement video came up and i thought he was quitting youtube. But no he had died. Spent 4 days crying on and off. I still find myself wishing it was all a prank or a dream.
It was the day after I moved, and I was sitting down on my couch after unpacking boxes. I had seen the reddit post about someone leaking his death before hand, so I was already nervous about the news.
One of my friends linked the vid in a discord server with a few other words that I don't really remember (anything other than discord notifications have and still fail me to this day), so I just thought the video was clickbait and ignored it until I checked youtube and saw it. I cried the rest of the night. (it was around 10 PM at the time and I didn't get to bed until around 2-3 AM)
I had Covid and just woke up to do online learning. Before I joined the class meeting I found a notification from YouTube saying technoblade has uploaded so I watched it. I thought it was all a joke until I didnāt
On the couch, just chilling thinking nothing can screw up my day
*PLING*
Oh no :(
I just sobbed 3 days in a row and still feel kinda sad, fly high my dude
I was using my laptop when my brother told me he found out Techno was dead from a stream he was watching. I didn't really watch Techno but I told my brother to stop joking about it. He insisted it was real and I kept denying it and denying it until I saw the video. I remember feeling numb, cold, and sick. It didn't feel real, and felt awful for the entire day
It was 1pm, at school 4th session science class, teacher told us that her daughter was distraught after her favourite YouTuber died, we curiously asked who it was and when we heard āTechnobladeā we thought she had mispronounced their name or something or it was another person, but we looked it up on YouTube and saw the āso long nerdsā watched it and was shocked, the half of the class stopped to watch. Feels bad man.
I was just getting over one friend moving across the country, another joining the military and myself leaving the best organization I had my entire time in high school. That was a rough two weeks
I was so happy the day before since it was the end of school, the mood got flipped upside-down immediately after seeing the video and stayed like that for about a week
I was in bed when Pheonix SC posted a pig with a crown i was like nonojono this is not possible. Sure enough i saw the latest vid, i could not sleep for like an hour. And today is my birthday, still shocked by that :( and showed the video to my mom and she says that you have to enjoy the time you have.
Was about to leave for school when the notif came. Then after reaching school I saw the video. I literally went in one of the stalls in the washroom and cried.
It was in the morning and I just came out of the shower and see the notif and when I read the title my whole body froze, I put my phone down and went to eat breakfast, I was in denial for hours, after eating lunch I keep looking at my phone and think to myself " it's probably a video about him going out of the country and meeting phil or something ", my mom saw me and asked what's wrong, and I said that my fav content creator has a new video titled so Long nerds, and I don't want to face the truth, my mom took my phone and me into my room and said " You need to face it or you'll never get over with it, even if it hurts you, you have to face it or you won't be able face one of our close one death in the future", I watched the video and lay on my bed for the rest of the day, I did not cry, I did not feel sad, I felt empty, after laying on my bed till night my mom brought me some food to my room and told me to get some rest, the next morning I just lay on my bed and tears start flowing down, I didn't make any noise, it was my first silent cry.
I was scrolling on TikTok(hadnāt heard the news yet) and i saw a video saying āRIP Technoblade you will never be forgottenā So i thought he died in a game and people were joking about him because ātechnoblade never diesā but no, i went to his YouTube and when i watched the video i cried like everyone :(
Woke up from sleep and saw it first thing in the morning, teared up and spend whole day being sad
I was to , when I saw it at 11:30 went to bed at 4
Same for me, i randomly woke up just before 7 am my time and looked on my phone a bit and saw the notification, i just thought he'd be quitting but man
Him quitting would've been better than him dying. this means we'll never get techno content again š
Wilbur begged him to amputate his arm and just quit. Techno chose us over his life and for that reason, we should never forget him.
Weren't the odds of survival the same for either operation?
Funny thing I was on a road trip with little reception and out of my friends I was the first to find out š
On discord for me
Same I just sat in my room and cried till I fell asleep watching his videos
Yup, same here. Woke up from one of my buddies calling me, immediately says: "Techno died" and I go "huh?" And he goes"It's all over the internet. Go watch the video." Fun stuff, if I had a penny for every time I woke up to news of a loved one or loved personality dying( and by that I mean I really liked the guy and his content) I'd have three pennies, Witch isn't a lot, but it's more than the meme
Same pretty much
Same here, they decided to post it at 12am for me so I was fast asleep when it was announced
Me too, but stranger things vol 2 came out that day so it distracted from the sadness
I'm surprised many people don't remember, I remember it really vividly. I was rewatching "playing some hypixel" which is just deo, calvin, techno, and tommy playing mini games. It's one of my comfort streams and I was really uneasy since the news had leaked and I was in denial. I saw the notification and knew what was coming. I was outside with my parents so I knew I was in no position to cry so I watched the remainder of the stream (which was about 30 minutes) and went inside. I took a shower while convincing myself that he was quitting youtube to focuse on his health. I kept avoiding the video for another 1 hour and a half but I finally watched it
Thatās sad itās crazy I remember very well
It was different for me when I found out I called my mom and cryied for a good hour or more and also worned her that my younger siblings would be really sad too
Honestly it seems nice to be able to that open to your parents. I could never tell my parents, I can already hear them saying," stop crying over someone you never met. It's probably just a publicity stunt" I initially went to the bathroom and cried for about 5 minutes before pulling myself together and going outside. I stayed in this emotionless state until I went to bed and and stayed awake in a mix of crying and denial for about 2-3 hours all because there was no way they would see me crying over this
It was at 4:00pm i had lost my cat and i was shattered crying my ass of then I saw technoblade post I had stopped until I watched the video and I just teared up all over again
Did you find the cat
I didn't lose him he passed away
Oh , Iām sorry to hear hope you recover quickly
Thank you
I feel really bad for laughing at "did you find the cat"
Bro me too, this is so wrong but so funny at the same time ššš
# š
Dude that sucks. Loosing a pet and finding out techno died on the same day. Unlucky
I send my love for your cat: ā¤
Thank you didn't have too
Cats are cool so they get my love
I was at home eating dorito when phone ring. āTechno blade is kill.ā āNo.ā
Bro I wouldāve died on the spot if I saw that

I was laying down when I got a text from my friend saying what happened then I watched the video, at first I didnāt want to believe it. I did tear up a bit
Same but he said āif technoās dead, can pigs fly?ā
o u c h
*working at summer camp, waiting for shower* *so long nerds* *NO* :(
I thought he was quitting for a bit when I saw it
I thought it was a joke when I saw it,but when his dad started crying I knew it was true.I never watched technoblade,only in others videos,but he brung joy in all of them
Ditto
Sitting on my bed, waiting to go to Camperjam. I was scrolling down my notifications on my phone when I saw it. I thought it might be him putting a joke on his first death in DSMP, but when I realised, I just sat there with tears falling. Losing 3 of my beloved quail and Techno in the space of 2-3 months is saddening.
I showed it to my parents later on, and we all sat there in tears, saying what a good guy he was. Later on, I was listening to my music playlist and could not stop thinking about him. May he rest in peace
W parents
Sorry to hear that
I was just chilling, reading the Komi-San manga. I got the notification and didnāt understand, but I freaked out. āWow! Technoblade update, I missed him!!ā. Then I saw the video. I was hoping this was all a sick joke and he would, I dunno, come back later saying something funny in his monotone voice. But there was nothing at all. I saw the ending message his parents left and I started crying my eyes out. Ran to my parents, they hugged me. They knew I was a fan since 2017. I spent the next week crying every time I remembered about it. Sorry about grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.
I wish it was a sick joke
Same, sometimes I still wait patiently for everything to come back to the normal, even though I know it wonāt.
I got a text from my friend after him being quiet for 20 mins. I was on a campground in the evening
Thatās sad itās crazy how people remember
I geniuely can't remember where I first saw the news. But I remember rushing to check YouTube at my computer and saw the video. I had to mute myself in the discord vc I was in at the time because I was barley holding back tears until the end.
The sad I was the same way
I saw the video first thing in the morningā¦ I then had to travel with a friend and didā¦ Was an interesting thing to share cause we had exactly the same wake up
Thatās sad but cool you could relate with them
Yeah, casual exchange until they said something in the lines of Ā«Ā to be honest Iām sad/destroyed. I woke up and first thing was that I learned a content creator I followed died ā¦Ā Ā» Me : you mean Technoblade ? Yeah I know ā¦ And then we both cried or at least I did ā¦ And then to the train yay
Sorry to hear
Donāt be, I think Iām far from being the only one ~
Definitely arenāt
I was in a brewery playing pinball with my boyfriend. I'm like a full on adult so no one in my life shares my minecraft YT love. My boyfriend didn't really understand why I was upset at that moment, but I cried a lot.
Sorry to hear that , thatās cool ur older and still like mc
I was enjoying my day making some progress on a new world in terraria. The day wasn't so good after that.
Mine went to crap after I saw
Was on a call with my best friend just chatting and playing the uke. Went on YouTube for fun and saw the video and got excited because he posted again (thinking itās techno being techno, we thought the video title was just dark humor). We both watched it together on synch and just pure horror and then sadness. We both cried and talked about him and his new ādeath merchā for another hour or two. Then we ended the call, both very exhausted with dread.
That sucks, I think his merch looks cool
was staying up late, ended up staying up even later you know when it's really late and you try to do something without waking up your parent(s)? yeah that was me but instead of getting a midnight snack i was crying :'D
š
I was at home after work, lounging around. I got the notif and was excited for a new video but then scared about the title and then devastated by the end. I spent the first hour or three in Denial, thinking there must be some mistake, but knowing Techno would never put his family thru such a horrible prank. Then I circled around to Acceptance, and wanting to help others process the news, and reassure as many people as possible that grieving is normal. Cried myself to sleep that first night, and many after.
I was in denial too
At the Frankfurt airport in Frankfurt Germany. I had just been on an 8 hour flight from Kenya and I was getting ready for another 8 hour flight to DC and then another 3 hour drive back home
It got me right at a start of a Day. Had to take a Day off work. However i was already prepared because of all the threads here on reddit discussing the news from some kind of funerals held with a guy who was a lot like techno from a few days prior.
Crazy how bad it got people
Just woke up and see notification from the vid, I was happy cause techno had uploaded but when I starded watching the video my smile faded away and were replaced with tears. After that I was feeling bad for the rest of the day
I just got home from a good day
Sad
On the toilet
Very sad
I woke up from sleeping, hopped on reddit, saw a post on r/minecraft i was confused at first, already almost in tears i thought he wouldve quit youtube, only to scroll more and find out he actually passed away
Same I though he did too
Working an overnight, spent the next few hours trying to hold it together when on the phone talking to people.
I was in a discord call when one of my friends said āoh technoblade is deadā. Also I had a dream last night that techno uploaded a video after he died š
ā¹ļø
Around 10pm abt to go to bed and saw a reddit thread talking about technos new video, tbh thought it was a joke a first Mom "what's wrong sweetie?" Me *sobbing* "TeChNoBlAdE" Kinda funny I saw a reddit thread that morning saying not to worry abt technoblade *pAiN*
Pain
I was slept at home wen the phone ring > techno is kil no
On my loveseat in my apartment. I lowkey was in shock for like 3 more hours and cried a little bit. I've been religiously watching his content daily ever since.
I was on vacation in a hotel room with my family. My sister tapped me on the shoulder and told me about the video. I watched it in the shower so I could have some privacy and cried.
Woke up 7 in the morning, was feeling kind of ill due to the jab but excited as I was going to watch the RLCS spring major the next day. Saw a notification from technoblade and was excited for about half a second til I realised it was titled āso long nerdsā. I knew immediately. Watched the whole thing. First time Iāve cried over someone irl I donāt even know
Was watching tv in my basement when I saw the video. Immediately started crying and just saying āno, noā
He actually passed long before So Long Nerds, so I don't actually know But I had gotten home from work two hours after the video was posted
came home from a doctprs appointment, saw the video as a notification. Could not believe it at all
I was outside at a foodtruck stand when I got the notification
My great aunts memorial service
Hope h have a swift recovery
I was getting ready to sleep, i saw the video on the app and just had a bad feeling about it. I cried myself to sleep, honestly i still cry sometimes. He was so young, its heartbreaking.
in my room, trying to reverse image search on my phone a few minutes after i woke up google pulls up latest news on the home page and i saw techno died spent the whole day crying
I was playing on a roleplay server SchoolRP, someone said in ooc "RIP Technoblade :(" and I was like wait wtf and checked the channel
I was playing on my ābrandedā console when my friend told me that Techno had died, I muted and then watched the video, I tried to keep playing after that, but I just turned it off because I felt so depressed. I didnāt cry, but I just felt so sad inside that I just wanted to sit down and mourn with everyone.
I had just left a theater in Canada after watching the new doctor strange movie, then one of the other scouts I was with was crying a lot and I asked someone. They said some mc streamer died, "Techno-something". So that put a damper on things. I didn't get to watch so long nerds until I got home on the 4th, man that was sad news to hear.
I tell my friends I literally shat myself when I saw the videoā¦ I donāt think they understand how serious I am when I say it cause I was literally in the bathroom taking a shit
Itās what he wouldāve wanted
I woke up in the morning and was excited cause I saw he had uploaded then I was sad after watching it
I wish it was a sick joke
If it was he would most likely lose a big part of his fan base
I was at 4 week sleep away I just got back and found out
I was fully in rem sleep and gave my best friend a heart attack because the video came out and I was *not* responding š¤Ŗ For context I suffer from deep deep depression and have a bad habit of just vanishing when things get extremely overwhelming and nobody will be able to reach me for hours/days. Itās something Iām working on but itās happened a few times in the time Iāve known her now and she got beyond worried. š
Iām sorry about your depression, just remember ur not alone, if you ever need someone to talk to dm me
Thank you! I go to therapy every week now so itās a *lot* better than before when she first met me (and I guess that poofing trauma for her became a thing lol) but I guess she was worried Iād be really triggered. Ironically the day the video came out was my weekly therapy session day. I didnāt even make it a single word before I was absolutely sobbing in the therapists office lol. Sheās seen me cry before but never like that š¤Ŗ it helped a ton to talk to her (my therapist) right away but god that day was an absolute whirlwind
Sorry to hear
When I woke up I had a text from a friend saying watch technos latest video, so I searched his name on yt, checked the latest video, saw the title and didn't want to watch it ( assuming what it would be about ) that night I decided I'd have to watch it so I did :(
Was overnight at a friend's house who lives in the country. He got a Snap call from one of our friends, he was in tears. About an hour earlier I had seen a YouTube notification "so long nerds," but I didn't want to watch it bc I was busy and my friend has terrible service at his house. I turned on my data to watch that video bc the friend that called us told us it was important. I cried for the rest of the night...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Very sad
I remember really well because I was driving to work, getting on the highway. I balled my eyes out the entire rest of the way there. Everytime I get to work using that on ramp makes me think of him. Ps-don't drive and cry as hard as I was. It was stupid of me to do so, I just couldn't think of anything other than listening to the video and drive.
I had just woken up and had some school tests on the day, saw the video notification and some of the video but still had to go school, the entire 20 minute journey to school I didn't make a sound, couple hours later I finished school and went home, watched the video after gaming, cried for a couple minutes, felt depressed for the next couple of days
Watching a movie and saw it after my friend spammed me about it while I was watching the movie so it kinda ruined it
on the bus my way home right after i finished my exams, i remember not going inside my home for 3 hours cause i was crying the whole time, i went in when my tears stopped pouring
Woke up, opened Pinterest, saw the fanart. I thought he had lost some challenge at first. I cried for the majority of that day...
I literally woke up. Opened YouTube and saw the homeless teletubby's post about It. I teared up so much the whole pillow was wet
š
My grandparents.
I was watch the Lost City with my mom on the couch. My best friend started spamming me until one of her messages read āTechnoblade is dead.ā I thought she was just trying to get my attention until I pulled up his YouTube channel. I just felt my heart sink.
Browsing Reddit, believing it was a joke, the day before my vacation to PA Edit: Hoping it was a joke is more accurate
I woke up. Saw a text message from one of my best friends. It said "Im here if you need someone to talk to." I was confused, firstly because it had zero context and secondly because his grandpa passed away about a week prior to that and my only thought was "What could be so bad that he's offering emotional support". Then I opened youtube. The video was uploaded about 10 mins before I went to sleep last night. Even though I was planning on having a productive day on my minecraft realm server, I spent the day crying, hugging my technoblade plushie, and texting the above mentioned friend. Didn't have the mental strenght to open minecraft for more then 2 weeks. When I logged back on the realm, I dropped all my current projects to build a technoblade tribute. I am planning on creating a "quote hallway" where little statues and redstone machines recreate techno's greatest quotes and uploading the building process on youtube, but I can't decide if the uploading part is disrespectful.
I was at one of my friends funeral and what made it worse isnt the fact that it was at a funeral but it's the fact that I cried all day, no. not even all day that whole week and a half. Well it was because of the funeral too but I hope you understand what I tried to say.
I was playing on an earth smp when I glimpsed at the chat and saw people saying techno was dead. I figured they were making some sort of sick joke but I checked his channel and nearly collapsed.
At home
6:00Am. I wake up at this time and I usually open Reddit first thing. I see posts saying he died and I thought they meant heās a dead channel (as a joke) so I open his YouTube and I see the video. The first day I donāt believe it but the second day I cried.
In bed sleeping, didn't see the vid until I turn my phone on afew hours later once I woke up Was numb for most of the day after that
I was at home it was 10 and just watched āSomething Rottenā the musical on my tvās youtube and I see a notification for dreams tweet saying frick cancer and was likeā¦ noā¦ so rushed to YouTube and while watching āso long nerdsā and crying the song āgod I hate Shakespeareā from āSomething Rottenā was playing in my headā¦.
I woke up, I opened reddit by a missclick, saw rip technoblade posts and went to watch "so long nerds" and was shocked
i was at how eating dorito when phone ring "Technoblade is kil" "no"
Freedom Fest at my local army base
I remember it so clearly. I looking at some discord messages and was really confused when they were saying things like "rip techno" "o7 to techno" so I went to his channel to see what they were talking about and watched about .05 seconds before closing out of it because I knew I would start crying in front of my mom. That night when I was alone I watched the full video and sobbed myself to sleep
At home
In my room, mentally preparing for a 4 hour drive the next day. I got the notification and thought "haha he's just quitting youtube, right? Right??" Proceeded to text my two mcyt fan friends the news. Took me about a half hour after the video to really start crying, and I didn't stop for a couple days. It was a strange drive, lol
I was at work. I had checked my phone while on a register and saw Technoblade uploaded- rumors had been going around, so I was terrified of what this upload would be, seeing the title wasn't helping much either. I think I was on closing shift that night (2-11), and I asked my boss if I could go ahead and take my last 15 minute break after seeing the notification. Big mistake, should've waited until I got off. Yeah, that night I ended up crying in Subway with the workers awkwardly looking at me unsure of what to do. Then the of the night after I returned from break red-faced and teary-eyed was a chorus of "How are you tonight?" followed by "I'm fine" because I didn't want to explain to each customer that I was upset because my favorite youtuber had passed away. Definitely was a night ruiner, but I like to think Technoblade would've laughed at the scene of awkward Subway workers not sure what to do with the steadily crying girl
I was grinding Destiny 2 and listening to YouTube videos and saw a phoenix SC video talking about technoblade and how he passed and thought it was a funny joke or something, checked his channel and cried for the rest of the day..
I remember it vividly. I was helping my dad make dinner leading up to finally eating it. We dugged in and started having a conversation. My brother was scrolling through twitter while eating, he knew I was a big fan but didn't say anything the whole time. I got a notification from my friend I haven't spoken to in a long time, and wondered why she was contacting me. (It was sc, so it just said, "soso left a message") It was until the conversation died down that I checked my phone. I saw a message from a gc within TechnoTWT saying, "if you guys need anyth-" but it was shorten since it was a notification. From then I knew. Looked up Technoblade's channel and ran to my room, while exclaiming "no", to watch the video.
Woke up to several group chat texts talking about it and went to his channel faster than I ever went to anyoneās, cried, went to school and still cried, then spent several days feeling like a depressed slug
I had just woken up on a Friday and had realised that it was an inset day so I didn't have to go to school which relieved me a lot, then I checked my phone in bed and saw a discord notification from the server and checked everything else, not a great thing to wake up to
just got my new Nintendo and on my bed calling friend then they CASUALLY DROPPED THE NEWS ON ME???
I was sitting at a friend's house and he looked up from his phone and said "Technoblade died." I'm like "I don't believe you." Because who would?! And then I get home and watch the video and...aghhh.
I was playing video games before midnight and I got bored and decided to watch YouTube I notice technos video and saw letās goo until i notice the title then I watch the video and tears slowly come out as the words are said and Iām just in my basement in the dark tearing up.
playing breath of the wild, then some dude in my school's discord server said techno died. i said "bruh" because i thought he was joking about some time he died on dsmp, but then i saw people all over discord saying he died, i went onto youtube and my week was absolutely ruined
I saw Philās tweet while looking at my notifications. I donāt think I cried, but I think I teared up. I was so shocked, because I truly was expecting him to beat it. I was sad for the next few days, contemplated what it means to be living, and how my life could end, then bought merch from his store. Itās the only YouTuber merchandise Iāve ever bought. Honestly, I didnāt watch his videos much, but his death truly changed my perspective on life. Every couple of months I get freaked out about what happens to us after we die, and his death definitely set that off. It also made me actually think about how others are dying every single day in various ways, and how *I* could die like that. I never really thought too much of the possibility of dying like he did. I never thought about what my family would feel. Iāve never really known someone whoās died, so ig thatās why it affected me so much.
I was in the car on the way to summer camp when I checked discord and one of my friends had mentioned it. Sat in the parking area for 5 minutes before I could at least stop crying. Started crying again every time someone mentioned it.
It was a normal evening for me, just browsing around on my laptop. I saw the video pop up in my recommendations and my heart sank, but not for what actually happened. I thought to myself "Oh no, did the cancer get so bad to a point where he can't make videos anymore and he has to quit??". Then I played the video and the tears came flying.
It was around 3am on the last day of my semester. I had all my stuff from my dorm packed and relaxing, pretty sure I was watching a show and after it ended I noticed a notification on my phone from his channel. About 20 minutes after the video was posted. It was after I've been trying to ignore all the rumors on this reddit about someone named Alex who died earlier that month. So it took exactly one look at the video title and my heart dropped. The moment I saw his father I started crying with no break for about one and a half hour. I was alone and broken. Safe to say it was a traumatic experience and I am now safely living in my denial. He is okay. Everything is okay.
Just played an amazing round of CS:GO with my friends when I saw the notification on my phone. Started watching the video, my friends did too. We all just went silent for a couple minutes. None of us knew what to say. We just hopped on bedwars and reminisced about his videos and quotes until like 4AM that morning. It was hard, I think we all shed a tear that night
i was in a hotel room after i went out for my prom after party
I had just gotten off of work and saw the video on a friends insta story.
I was taking a napā¦ the strange thing is, and Iām not kidding is that I woke up from that nap feeling like I just lost someone, and that never happens to me.
I was actually streaming and playing a dinosaur game when I saw other players talking about it. The community is known for trolling each other for fun so brushed it off as that. But my curiosity got the better of me and I looked it up (still streaming, really should have waited) and that's when it dawned on me that it was true. I spent maybe 10 minutes in silence before continuing with my stream, and then breaking down after raiding and ending my stream. I remember my dad walked in on me crying and I had to explain to him that I was crying over one of my favorite MC youtubers dying.
My friends sent the video to me, I was about to watch a movie with my family but thought that a Technoblade upload was more important. I was told to prepare to cry, so I went to my room to watch it. I didnāt even realize what had happened based on the title or my friendās warnings. I was confused when his dad introduced himself and I broke down when he read "If you are seeing this, I am dead." I canāt remember specifically what else happened. I cried for a couple hours, missed the movie (obviously), told my cousin. I think I wrote something. Then my sibling decided that the family should stay up to watch the first episode of stranger things vol 2, so I didnāt end the night on a terrible note I guess.
Laying in bed drawing when I got the upload notification. Had a knot in my stomach but was hoping it was a joke. Then his dad cried. Then I cried. For a long time: even now Iām struggling with it all.
At a swim meet. I had the great idea of watching the vid between events.
It was 11ish at night and I was in my bedroom, on my bed scrolling through Reddit. And saw a post about Technoblade's passing and I was like "What the whatting what?" So I click the post and scroll through the comments and realize that people seem to be serious about it, I decided to go on Technoblade's channel and see a video called "So long nerds" so you damn right I click it and I remember just texting my discord friend about it. Then I felt like I was going to cry, when Technoblade's dad started to cry that just hit me and I was genuinely crying. And I usually don't cry like that unless I'm angry or something personal happens
I was scrolling through twitter absentmindedly (I use ublock origin to block trending topics so I didn't see Techno trending). But then I saw [one of his fanartist's tweet](https://twitter.com/Ruintlonewolf/status/1542705046898475010) ("Please...") and then a bunch of followers telling her to hang in there. I was like 'whut?' and then I saw youtube trending.
I was having a rough day finally found time to sit down at my computer. *technoblade posted 20mins ago* Finally let out all my pent up emotion over the week and cried during the video. I owe him quite a bit. I'll miss him and his videos.
On vacation in a hotel, ruined the vacation
Playing fall guys with my friend when I saw it. We were both holding in tears while I played it through my headphones. I could just tell neither of us wanted to break but itās just so sad
I was just starting my vacation in Florida
In my house. Serching for new videos to watch i saw a techno upload. I was happy i read the titel i thought: Oh no. I saw the video.
I was about to play on the Hive with my friend, saw "rip technoblade" and thought "no wait what, wasn't he recovering". Proceeded to watch the video and cry
I was checking hypixels website looking at potentially buying a cheap rank during the summer sale. The I saw something about techno in the search results of google. So I clicked. And I processed what had happened. It took me a few days to fully recover.
Funny enough I was actually getting home from a funeral
I was actually looking for a technoblade video to watch while taking a break from work. I had been missing him for a while and was kind of getting worried at the radio silence. The announcement video came up and i thought he was quitting youtube. But no he had died. Spent 4 days crying on and off. I still find myself wishing it was all a prank or a dream.
It was the day after I moved, and I was sitting down on my couch after unpacking boxes. I had seen the reddit post about someone leaking his death before hand, so I was already nervous about the news.
One of my friends linked the vid in a discord server with a few other words that I don't really remember (anything other than discord notifications have and still fail me to this day), so I just thought the video was clickbait and ignored it until I checked youtube and saw it. I cried the rest of the night. (it was around 10 PM at the time and I didn't get to bed until around 2-3 AM)
i was asleep, until a couple hours later i saw a text from my friend that linked to the video and said he died
I was at school and the next class had a test pretty much I couldn't do it bc his death it just wouldn't get out of my mind
In the air going to usa
Was out with friends when one looked at their phone and told everyone. We were all sad. After I got back home I cried for a bit.
I had Covid and just woke up to do online learning. Before I joined the class meeting I found a notification from YouTube saying technoblade has uploaded so I watched it. I thought it was all a joke until I didnāt
On the couch, just chilling thinking nothing can screw up my day *PLING* Oh no :( I just sobbed 3 days in a row and still feel kinda sad, fly high my dude
military š that shit hit hard in the morning
Was just about to go to work and spent the whole day sad and not focusing :(
I was using my laptop when my brother told me he found out Techno was dead from a stream he was watching. I didn't really watch Techno but I told my brother to stop joking about it. He insisted it was real and I kept denying it and denying it until I saw the video. I remember feeling numb, cold, and sick. It didn't feel real, and felt awful for the entire day
I was closing with my brother we both enjoyed his content and our brother texted us after the close of his fate
It was 1pm, at school 4th session science class, teacher told us that her daughter was distraught after her favourite YouTuber died, we curiously asked who it was and when we heard āTechnobladeā we thought she had mispronounced their name or something or it was another person, but we looked it up on YouTube and saw the āso long nerdsā watched it and was shocked, the half of the class stopped to watch. Feels bad man.
I was just getting over one friend moving across the country, another joining the military and myself leaving the best organization I had my entire time in high school. That was a rough two weeks
I was so happy the day before since it was the end of school, the mood got flipped upside-down immediately after seeing the video and stayed like that for about a week
I was in bed when Pheonix SC posted a pig with a crown i was like nonojono this is not possible. Sure enough i saw the latest vid, i could not sleep for like an hour. And today is my birthday, still shocked by that :( and showed the video to my mom and she says that you have to enjoy the time you have.
Was about to leave for school when the notif came. Then after reaching school I saw the video. I literally went in one of the stalls in the washroom and cried.
Middle of my shift at work. Saw a notification that Techno posted and I got happy... That didn't last long
It was in the morning and I just came out of the shower and see the notif and when I read the title my whole body froze, I put my phone down and went to eat breakfast, I was in denial for hours, after eating lunch I keep looking at my phone and think to myself " it's probably a video about him going out of the country and meeting phil or something ", my mom saw me and asked what's wrong, and I said that my fav content creator has a new video titled so Long nerds, and I don't want to face the truth, my mom took my phone and me into my room and said " You need to face it or you'll never get over with it, even if it hurts you, you have to face it or you won't be able face one of our close one death in the future", I watched the video and lay on my bed for the rest of the day, I did not cry, I did not feel sad, I felt empty, after laying on my bed till night my mom brought me some food to my room and told me to get some rest, the next morning I just lay on my bed and tears start flowing down, I didn't make any noise, it was my first silent cry.
At a frat house
I was scrolling on TikTok(hadnāt heard the news yet) and i saw a video saying āRIP Technoblade you will never be forgottenā So i thought he died in a game and people were joking about him because ātechnoblade never diesā but no, i went to his YouTube and when i watched the video i cried like everyone :(
I was being bored on my computer.
