My Tribute to Technoblade

This video is NOT monetized.

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.

“If I had 100 lives I’d chose to be techoblade every time”

Technoblade never dies
He is my happiness, my childhood

[JMPT]

Alex will forever be loved and missed
Technoblade will never be forgotten

"Do not stand at my grave and cry, i am not there. I did not die" sounds like techno would say to the people that is mourning to him.
Rest in power, Techno. o7

The poem is actually called “immortality” and it’s written by Clare Harner, for anyone who wants to know.
RIP technoblade, he is still alive in our hearts🐷👑

Hey, that's the audio from my video, I never thought it would be used this way, nice animation and tribute to his memory 😊🙏

[kamata]

I felt this so much. Thank you, I needed this.

He might be gone from our sight but he will never be gone from our memories

[VictoriaWalker]

What a great choice of poem, really fits well.
I read the description and I relate a lot, the only difference is that I remember watching his videos way before the DSMP even be a thing, but I wasn't subscribed to him until around the Dream x Technoblade duel, then I started watching every new video he uploaded. Yesterday I cried again, it hurts from time to time, he was one of my favorite mcyt for a long time. This grief indeed is strange, I've never felt it like this.
All I can do is to guarantee his wish, for us to live a long and great life, while remembering the good memories he brought to us.

"Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die"
This define the one that techno wanted. He wanted us to live PROSPEROUS lives :)

[TheMystic]

I always feel a sense of sadness when watching techno's videos, and I sincerely hope he is at peace.

[paradox]

Oh this hurts. Thank you he would've loved it. Thank you it's beautiful.

Through action, a man becomes a hero
Through death, a hero becomes a legend
Through time, a legend becomes a myth
Through hearing a myth, a man is inspired to take action.
And thus, the cycle repeats, and even if their name is lost to time, and their bones reduced to dust, they will never be forgotten

It's almost been 6 months. It's scary how fast life moves on. This tribute is my favorite one and I can't help myself from coming back to watch this every once in a while. It's a gentle reminder that he's gone and that he'll also never be forgotten.

my heart hurts watching this masterpiece, rest easy techno.

[ommpat]

"Not even close, baby! Technoblade never dies!" This quote echoes in my mind when I think about him... Legend, you will be missed

[nothankyewpls]

God, this video hit me so hard. A few years ago, I was really depressed and suicidal. I was writing suicide notes to all of my friends and family. I used this poem in the letter to my best friend. I'm better now, but it still hits really hard.

Technoblade never dies.
