CW: Cancer, death, depression
Note: I do not support or condone Dream or his actionsI don't have much to say about this, since my part is only a small portion of techno's impact on the world. I started watching technoblade in spring of 2021, when I was going through a very dark part of my life after covid. I had immunocompromised family members, meaning our family was in strict quarantine for a very long time. Watching the Dream SMP had a huge hand in helping my mental health during that part of my life.
Simply put, Techno saved my life. His content never failed to bring a smile to my face. When things were really hard, I would find myself putting on one of his videos to cheer myself up. He was diagnosed with cancer shortly after my mother was, so his prognosis was very very hard for me to hear. He died around the same time that we were questioning whether my mother was going to live. (She's okay now, luckily.) I was devastated, and still am, that he passed away, but I will forever owe to him that I'm still here.
