My baby cousin has always been sick, but got diagnosed with cancer when he was six. He started watching Techno with me around then, and his seventh birthday was Techno-themed. He's really tired of being sick. It was showing in his immune system too, because he stopped struggling to stay alive. But then, Techno got diagnosed with cancer too. And he donated to the Sacroma foundation, which helps kids like my baby cousin who have Sacroma cancer. And he wanted to be alive again. He fought and was so fucking brave and now he's eight and is on his last round of chemo. He's better, and his immune system is still weak but he's better. And I have Techno to thank for that.
I know we joke about the whole “[streamer] can’t love you” copypasta, but watching Techno’s father read his letter and talk about what went on in his final days, I can’t find words to express just how much that isn’t true.
Everything Techno did, everything he said, was oozing with nothing but love for his community. Techno was never afraid to tell his community just how much he cared, he never hesitated to say what we meant to him or how proud he was of us.
So I don’t think it’s wrong to say Techno loved us, and I don’t think it’s wrong to admit that we loved him. Maybe not personally, maybe not intimately, but love isn’t defined by intimacy. Love doesn’t have much of a definition at all, really.
So don’t be too worried about being “weird” or cringy or parasocial about this, okay? The passing of a loved one is incredibly difficult to handle, and Techno loved us every way he was capable. There’s no need to be ashamed of how you grieve someone you loved.
[id: two tweets. the first is by bladedarlin, and says “Popular opinion but I actually think Techno is gonna take over the kingdom of God. God challenged him with an immediate disadvantage of yoinking him too soon… that’s gonna be really easy no matter how good He might be”. the second is a reply by Puppens101, and says “He’s gonna kick his ass. By the time we all join him the war will be over. We’re gonna get there and he’s gonna be like “While you nerds took your sweet time living. I took the leisure of handling the government. Bad management, and all that. Anyways welcome my goons.’” end id]

SBI Bingo 2022 Sign Ups OPEN!
Hello! Welcome to the Sleepy Bois Inc Bingo event 2022!! :D
This fandom event will run from April 2022 to June 2022.
What is it?
Sleepy Bois Inc Fandom Bingo is a fandom event in which participants will be invited, each day, to create fan-content: different artworks, short stories, or other pieces according to predetermined prompts. Each piece will count as one “mark” on the participant’s unique bingo card.
Complete five pieces corresponding to five spaces in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and you have BINGO! If you finish fast enough, you may qualify for a gift basket prize!
For full rules and further information, read the full info sheet here!!
To sign up, fill out this form!!!
Fandom bingo works just like how normal bingo would: the only difference is that, instead of numbers and letters (B4, G7, I24, etc.), we call out random prompts! Every day, we will randomly generate a prompt from your bingo card and announce it here on our tumblr, as well as on our twitter!
But in order to mark that prompt down on your card, you first have to create SBI content inspired by that prompt! Don’t worry about creating a masterpiece; just focus on doing a little bit every day!
We will announce a prompt every day until we run out.
To make things a little more high stakes, our team has prepared three gift baskets for the quickest winners!! Each basket contains a total of 3 pieces from a combination of sbi fanart and fanfics. To nab one, be one of the first 3 people to contact us with a winning card!
Prize baskets drawn by @owlwinter8!
Remember to sign up by submitting this form, sign-ups will be open until April 8th, midnight EST.
That’s all from us for now, we hope you’ll join us for SBI Bingo! :D
