Hello everyone, this is my tribute that I've been working on for the past few days. I wanted to put my utmost effort for this creator whose had a lot of impacts on me over the past years. Unlike many people, I only really started watching Technoblade around the end of 2020. The me back then knew little to nothing about him, but I vaguely remember watching many of his videos without knowing they were by him. It wasn't until I started watching Dsmp that I got to actually know him as a content creator. Technoblade was an individual who really stood out to me, whether it was his personality, humour, or his occasional drops of wisdom. And before I realized it, I'd binged all of his videos and began showing up to most of his streams.
The first fanart I ever made since coming back to MCYT since many years ago was a painting of Techno and the first scene i ever animated in my first dsmp animatic 'Chaos' was also techno, while I've never ever spoken to this man, or interacted with him, I feel I owe a lot of my confidence and drive to him. I was honored last year to do the Animation for Derivakat's voices and I've since then made many great friends who share that same experience. I've bonded with so many people who genuinely enjoy his content and I've never ever felt unwelcomed or discouraged being a part of this community or making content for it.
When the news hit me a few days ago, I remember I sat there for hours, I couldn't concentrate on my work and everything just felt so surreal. It was a grief that I can't explain, its hard for many people who don't experience the same experience to understand how a simple viewer could cry for hours for a creator they watch. To me it was like losing someone I've looked up, someone I'm inspired by, someone whose tiny remarks here and there would bring me so much joy during a not so good night. I didn't think it would hit me that hard too but it did and till now, the sorrow I felt still lingers. I had worked up the courage to at least say one final goodbye with this video. I had come across a poem on channel named illneas, the poem, presumably by Mary Elizabeth Frye is one which explores the feelings of coping with loss. This poem and the way in which it was read really spoke to me, and felt so appropriate to me in this situation I had begun to visualize the poem itself into tiny fragments in my head.
This animation is the results of this, I pictured something beautiful, something nostalgic, something that will at least, in my definition and within the limitation of my current skill-set live up to the place in which Technoblade had influence me in my life. It is not perfect, but in my eyes, its something that I worked hard on and something that really expresses my gratitude and respect for the creator I look up to. I will continue to cherish these memories that I've made, whether the metaphysical thoughts and quotes that continue to pop up when prompted or the physical art that I created, for all there is to come.
Thank you Technoblade for everything that you've done for me without knowing. May you rest in peace, and in power.
