death

5/6/25

i woke up to find out that wifiskeleton passed. wifiskeleton made some my favourite music of all time. the reason i structure that sentence like that and not directly say that i love wifiskeleton is because he allegedly did some bad things before adopted the persona of wifiskeleton (for which he had apologized). people are frowning at mourners of his death because of what he did. indubitabely what he was accused is terrible, but, all i see in the replies of the mournings is criticism towards the mourners. im not sympathizing with what he did, but the man has just died. since he apologized, and since the accusations still have speculations around them, i think theres atleast some room for the dead to be left alone, and for the people who genuinely cared about him to face their trauma. his friends seem genuinly hurt evident from thier instragrams. this had me thinking about my own death. i will be dead one day. what will i be remembered for? will people only remember the bad i did to them or will they remember the times i tried to fix bridges and mend relations? ive wronged people in the past. i want to apologize to everyone but i dont have contact with most of them anymore. the ones with whom i do dont trust me anymore.

what does it mean to be dead?

a lot of the youtubers i watched when i was younger have stopped making content. some like p2isthename have passed themselves. for the ones who have stopped making content, are the personas of their youtube selves really still there? they definitely had different personalities for youtube and for real social interactions. so, if they have stopped, are the 'youtubers' still corporeal? or is the living person just; not that youtuber anymore? think of kanye. hes ye now, and evidently totally diffferent from the person we knew as kanye west. so, is kanye west dead? half of the rappers i used to listen to, like xxxtentacion, juice wrld and a lot more are now dead. they, as people, are dead but the legacy they have left behind will keep them alive in the communities hearts for decades to come. some rappers who did terrible things are now in prison. some of their sentences extend for decades, like tay k who recently got 135 years (being 80 years on top the 55 that he got before) in prison, with only parole after 40 something years. he would be 60 years old by then. so, even though taymor travon mclntyre (real name of tay k) is alive, the rapper we know as tay k is essentially; dead.
