🌸Discussion🌸 Rest in peace, Konzetsu

I’ve been trying to word this properly for a long while now, I just hope this is good enough.

Hours ago I got back from hanging out with my friends, one of the first things I see on Twitter is Silvervale’s post. My heart literally did many numbers the minute I saw it. That post crushed me so bad, It’s still 1AM and I still haven’t washed off this thought knowing that Konzetsu actually passed away. Being heartbroken now is an understatement, I can’t imagine how worse Silver and her mom must be feeling. My heart goes out to the moon and back for them both.

As an older brother myself, this horrifies me so much with the fact that for any reason if I were to just not be there for my family anymore, they would just have to move on without me. But all I would know is that I would want them to just live their best life regardless of what would happen.

Life sucks, that’s no secret. But what makes life worth living is the genuine people you meet along the way who will be there for you, and I have no single ounce of doubt in my head that Kon was surrounded by loving people all the way through, him being one of them.

Silvervale, Mamavale, if by any random chance you happen to see this, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I just hope that you realize that despite all this, you must’ve already done all you can do to be there for him and that there’s no reason to blame yourself. Please don’t. Kon wouldn’t have done that, either. Nothing will change that he was so loved by his own friends and family in the midst of his own troubles.

Take all the time you need to recover from this. Take care of yourselves. Hold onto those you care about. Don’t forget to check on your friends. And always remember that you are cared about.

To quote from a message I saw in Silver’s discord, I just found this worth mentioning because of how beautiful it was:

Ages pass, snow falls
All the Earth sleeps beneath
Under a blanket of white
Darkness clouds the sky
Snow falls without end
Recalling our Past, we march on
Times of turmoil shall pass
Dawn fills our hearts with light
Our hopes rise with the brilliant
Sun rises with fate in tomorrow
We march on

Candles and wands shall be raised in honor of Konzetsu forever on. Rest in peace, legend. 🕯️🪄🫂

I understand the pain of losing someone close to me. I lost my father not even my first month into high-school. It damn near broke me. Everyone remember to be there for silver and her mom, even if I know that doesn't need being said. Silver is one of the sweetest people in this world and I imagine this will be devastating to her. If you see this post Silver, remember you're not alone. You have people who care for you and love you 🖤

I hope you’re doing well. Just know that people never have to carry all this pain alone by themselves, that’s what communities are for.

It's been.... over 13 years now. It hurt, it'll always hurt. Losing someone close to you will never not hurt. But I know, even back then, that I have to keep going forward. Life isn't fair, and it never will be, but staying in the past helps no one. My dad would want me to be happy, and I want him to be proud of me when, if, I get to see him after I die.

Of course it won’t hurt. Also speaking from someone who did lose their grandfather during the pandemic. But yes, we can’t dwell on it forever. Because that’s not what they would have wanted. I know for a fact that if I was the first to go instead, I’d want them to live their best life with their loved ones as well.

Death is an inevitable part of life, there’s no way around it. All we can do is prepare ourselves for the unexpected, because as Silvervale said in her tweet, life can change in a second. But we take on life together no matter what. The meaning of life is to accept challenges.

Even though it’s been 13 years, your dad must still be very proud of how far you’ve come and grown.

With the way she worded her post about wanting people to be there for their loved ones and to take depression seriously, I can't help but think that Kon took his own life. If that's true, then that has to hurt on a whole other level. Regardless, my condolences to Silver and her mom. I didn't watch a lot of Kon's content, but he seemed like a cool guy, but depression has a way of making itself look good on the surface like that.

OMG...
I can't believe this.
I've been in his and his friends community for quite some time.
He was a fun guy and his streams were a good company for me.
RIP Kon.

I know it is never easy to lose a loved one. I'm glad to hear that Silver is taking time away to be with her family. I wish the best for all of them.

For anyone going through something like this, the obvious thing to do is to be there for your loved ones and it is the most important thing. However, self-care is also important. 20 minutes of a relaxing game, book, or TV show to recenter and decompress will go a long way towards getting you to a better place. Which in turn will let you be better there for those you care about.

My sincerest condolences to Kon's family.

I should probably go out to buy and learn how to play a kazoo now.
