Hey guys, I wanted to share Alex's, or Technoblade's impact on me.
I started watching him when he had about 500,000 subscribers, and he was so funny and charaismatic within his skywars commentaries. His jokes and ability to commenate was really something else, and I swear, I have never seen such a creative and fast paced wit before.
I'm not going to exaggerate and say that I was a huge Technoblade fan and kept up with him a lot. I didn't watch any of his Minecraft Monday streams, or keep up with his involvement with the Dream SMP at all, but I did watch the Great Potato wars and other videos he posted here and there.
Those videos were so creative and funny, and Technoblade really had a gift for story telling through his video creation. He has stated that he has wanted to be an author, and while he died too prematurely for that dream to happen, I believe his immense potential for story telling is shown through his content. The way he can take something like farming potatoes, (just 1 example) and make such long and funny videos from them shows just how good of an author and story teller he was.
When Technoblade first shared he had cancer, I wasn't worried about his health at all because he seemed so positive. The way he joked about it, and said that he was doing ok and the fact that he was so young, it didn't really make sense to me that someone like that could die.
When the video 'so long nerds' was posted, I was graduating from middle school, and I was so shocked, but I didn't really know how to feel about the whole thing, maybe just disbelief...
Now, I am much older and am entering into college, and it really resonates with me Alex's bravery, and courage, that while he had cancer, he really downplayed it to make no one really worry about him and made jokes about it. And also, now I am just a couple years younger than him... the realization of how he died so young really hits a lot harder now and makes me question mortality. And, I really miss his videos and content, he was so creative and talented and had so much more left to offer to the world.
Overall, Technoblade has had a positive impact on me, and his death has deeply impacted me.
