RE: Technoblade being roleplayed by a YouTuber.
This is horrifying, and I do not see it ending well.
“I only answer to him” is an incredibly unfair position to put Technodad in. He is grieving, and any answer he gives carries major consequences.
If he says yes, it could encourage thousands of others to do the same, creating even more pressure to accept this as normal. If he says no, he is forced to publicly confront someone using his dead son’s identity. He should never have been put in that position.
And a future “rebrand” for the YouTuber would not fix this. If you build an audience by roleplaying a dead creator, then change your name once the backlash becomes too much, you still used that person’s identity, fame, and fanbase to grow your own platform. From the outside, it looks like an attempt to become a pseudo-replacement for the real Technoblade.
I knew Alex before he had an audience. He helped us during the early days of Hypixel, spent time talking with our team, and was simply a good human being. He was the only creator we ever held a ceremony for when giving out YouTube rank. I also made videos with him, something I rarely did over the past 15 years.
The week I learned that Technoblade passed away was also the week my first son was born. I remember holding my newborn and thinking about Alex (Technoblade), and telling my son that one of my friends had just died. That is how personal and painful this is for me.
So yes, I am upset and angry. Watching someone roleplay as our dead friend while showing so little regard for his family, friends, and legacy is deeply disturbing. The leaked chats make it even worse. I have seen more than has already been shared.
To me, this does not look like a tribute. It looks like exploitation. I can only imagine how the people closest to Alex are feeling right now.

Although Lohen is the vice captain of the ranged company, he rarely uses his bow.
Those who travel with him for the first time are always struck by this: while his teammates are still forming up in the rear with crossbows and muskets, the young knight — who should be taking cover — has already charged past the line, spear in hand, meeting the most dangerous enemies head-on.
Knights who asked the members of the ranged company why Lohen did this usually received two answers:
As long as he stands on the front line, no enemy can get close, and everyone else can confidently provide fire support.
And when he charges forward, no enemy can hold their position — he becomes the sharpest arrow in the entire company.
When asked, Lohen himself gave a simple answer:
"Most of the time, stabbing with my spear is faster and more accurate than firing an arrow."
To Lohen, there is no such thing as a superior weapon or tactic — only what works best. If the situation calls for a hidden shot, he uses a bow. If it calls for a direct strike, he takes up his spear. Though nothing quite compares to the feel of a spear tip piercing through armor, efficiency always comes first. Ambushes, poison, surprise attacks, infiltration... So long as they secure victory, he makes full use of them all.
It's just that when he needs to strike from the shadows, he tends not to leave any witnesses.
Because of this, the image most people have of him is a fleeting figure on the battlefield — rushing forward with weapon in hand, swift and unrelenting.
Like an arrow or a bullet tearing through the air, only deadlier, and far harder to evade.

"...I am well aware of your decision and the misgivings of our many colleagues. Having such a knight join the expedition would indeed cover various shortcomings our force suffers from. The only question is: How am I supposed to keep an eye on both of you at the same time?"

I am becoming progressively more worried for our humanity due to extensively terrifying improvements to AI generated content media.
From blatant misinformation to even the recent commercial adaptations of AI (acquisition of Suno into the music industry) WHICH NOBODY NEEDS.
We need artists to thrive - not feel discouraged.
Please be weary with what you see or hear online, contemporary media feels like nothing is real anymore.
AI sucks and we need to stand up against it.
@real_tammy81406@MissDarkFaerie@CheriJacobus@PaiaPaxton You're all retards, or liars. A simple Google search would answer all of these questions. But you don't care, because you're all scum trying to take advantage of the death of a great man. Shame. Shame on Tammy Smith. Shame.
