We See the Same Sky





January 24th

So uhh I almost died last Saturday. Couldn't breathe, flatlined and everything I think. I think I literally came back frim the dead. The cancer got into my brain ventricles and wouldn't let any of the fluid drain so the pressure p much ballooned. Had to get a shunt put in, still recovering from that surgery. Needless to say I am no longer in school and I guess the fight's still on, I'm just on borrowed time rn

We'll see what happens now. This cancer really wants me dead, but I really don't want to let it take me yet. Don't wanna be morbid, but I just want to say that in case anything still happens, you guys are amazing and supportive and I love you all. I'm sure you'll hear from Tuo or my sister if anything were to happen at this point ♥

We didn't talk nearly enough,

We didn't talk nearly enough, especially last year, and for that I will always regret.

Our characters didn't interact much but I felt a bond form between us at some point, especially when we got to talking about transition things. You confided a lot in me in the past few years or so, and that made my affection for you grow exponentially. It broke my heart that you didn't feel 100% supported by certain family at the time. I can only hope things got better. I remember we wanted to meet out West someday.

All I can think about is how, at the end, you wanted to talk about the good things.

November 1, 2019
"but dude you should tell me more about your transition! what's changed since we talked last?"

You wanted to know how I was doing, what changes were happening that I was pleased with, and you were happy for me.

Why does it take someone

Why does it take someone dying for me to come back here ;w; Ooky just broke the news to me and I am shocked and devastated. I didn't know he had cancer. He was always nice to me no matter what. #fuckcancer Rest in peace, Fin. <3 <3 <3

Such a surreal feeling.

Such a surreal feeling. You've had and have my utmost respect. To me you've never been anything but a great goddamn person and that's how I'll remember you.

Tuo, I'm so happy he had you. Wishing all the strength to you and Possessed.

It's incredibly heartbreaking

It's incredibly heartbreaking and simply unfair to see someone's blogs and know that they won't be able to continue their passion and dedication because they ran out of time. And it's only the tip of an iceberg called Life. Death makes me so angry. Only today I read a headline that scientists discovered 'the beginning of the end of cancer'. I feel deeply sorry. My thoughts and respect go to him, his family and friends because I know how much it takes to fight and how much it hurts to lose.

i love you so fucking

i love you so fucking much..

i'll never forget everything you've done for me, my dear friend. years of memories are so much more precious to me than they ever have been. i so badly wish i could have been there with you in your last moments..

thank you, tuo, for being there for him. i'm feeling such an unbearable amount of pain, i can't imagine how strong this is for you. please reach out if you need anything..

I'm so sorry that I never

I'm so sorry that I never made the time nor place to get to know you, but I will always remember you, Fin. I know that it has been a few years since we last spoke, but you were always so sweet, always willing to listen and put others before yourself. My heart hurts for you and your family.

You and your characters touched so many lives. The Forest and so many people are better off for having known you. I heard that you fought hard, I don't at all doubt that, but I hope that you are resting easy now. You will always be loved, missed, and remembered.

Tuo and Poss, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I haven't made one of these

I haven't made one of these in years...



Still doesn't feel real.

i'm so sad and sorry that

i'm so sad and sorry that this has happened. i really thought you were going to make it and i deeply regret not sending some love before it was too late, but at least you're at peace now. i didn't know you anywhere near as well as many other had but i'm sad to see you go, and i really enjoyed what interactions we did start to have in more recent times. how friendly and sweet you were. you had a lot left to give to this world, my heart goes out to your friends and family.

i know it's been said by many already, tuo and possessed, but you have all the community's love and support if you need anything. i know you being there with jay must have made the world's greatest difference to him, i'm proud of you both for being so strong for him. i hope you'll be okay. :<

pegasicorn, that is such a beautiful and thoughtful drawing. ♥

The post on discord made me

The post on discord made me come here and see what I'd miss and wow... I was not expecting this. I admit I didn't know Fin very well, but reading about his passing still felt like a punch to the stomach. May you rest in peace Fin, what interactions we had were always positive and even though I rarely play her anymore I will never forget that you were the one who gave me Illrose's picto all those years back and helped me bring her to life ♥

Tuo and Possessed, I am so so sorry for your loss, you and everyone else affected by this are in my thoughts ♥

I'm so sad I didn't get to

I'm so sad I didn't get to know you, Fin. You were one of the stand-out figures in this community in my mind ever since I joined the Forest a decade ago. You always seemed like such a bright presence around the community, and I can't imagine how hard this must be for the people whose lives you've touched.

I love this community so much even if I'm not very active on this site these days... In such a tight-knit, small community, anytime something like this happens, it seems like it's felt by us all in some way or another. My heart goes out to Tuo, Jay's family, and all his friends he's made here. ♥

I've struggled with what I

I've struggled with what I was going to write here, to be honest I still do.

I can't put the grief into words that'd do it justice, I don't know if I should. It aches so, so much - these past days I kept retracing our journey through my small part of Germany together. All the things we did, we've seen, the laughs we shared. How much fun Jay had with Labee, riding her - now you're getting to see her again, man. I hope so. When he left at the airport to fly to England, I was crying because I had enjoyed the time so much. We so badly wanted to see each other again - we did, when I visited California. Man, those were some wild three days ...

Jay, I am so sorry we never made it to Hawaii nor to south Germany to see those palaces you so loved. It breaks my heart to think of all the things you never got to do. I love you man, you were one of the warmest and kindest people I ever had the pleasure of getting to know. To know I'll never speak with you again, never see you again nor roleplay with you or anything - it just fucking hurts.

Thank you for everything, rest easy now. To you, Tuo and Poss', mine and my family's deepest condolences. My heart goes out to you.

It's just a strange thing...

It's just a strange thing... hearing about someone's death always hurts, even though I've never known them. I've never interacted with you (as far as I remember), but I cannot imagine what you've been through. I'll keep you in my prayers and thoughts, I hope you are in a safer and happier place now. Also thank you for Tuo and Possessed for staying with him until the end, my condoleances, I wish you the best.

I'm still staying away from TEF and the community, but I heard about what happened to you and I just couldn't pretend to ignore. This is the second time I see a member of this community dying, except that this time, I wasn't even there to support you with the others and that hurts even more. Yes, it's really strange... how I've never known you yet I'm crying for you while I'm writing this, as if you meant the world to me. There's nothing else for me to say... except that I'm glad you're not suffering anymore.

Rest in Peace, Fin.

I'm having a hard time

I'm having a hard time finding what to say, yet I feel the need to say something here.
Honestly, I'm in shock to learn about this today and my heart has been heavy ever since.
I've never talked to you much but you've always left kind comments. I'll always remember the times playing together in the forest waaaaay back in the old times. Q and Stel looked cute together, haha. Like some high school sweethearts. So innocent.

It's unfair you had to go. And it's even more unfair that you had to suffer pain. You certainly didn't deserve it. I hope you've found peace and that your life was one hell of a ride, in a good way.
I'll make sure to try appreciating my own life more, because there are always people, like you, who have to go way too early.
Safe travels, Fin.

I’ve been at a loss for words

I’ve been at a loss for words and still am... it’s just so surreal.

I’m glad I got the opportunity to meet and talk to you through our boys. We might not have spoken that often but you were always so kind and understanding when we did.

You fought well - so rest easy now, Fin. You’ll be dearly missed. Thank you for everything ♥

Tuo and Poss - I admire your strength during this time and I’m warmed that you were both there with him in the end. My heart goes out to you both. As said by everyone else, if there is anything we can do to help then please don’t hesitate to ask ♥
