felt this about technoblade, it was strange being in my house and sitting on the floor crying about a man that i never knew and who never often showed his face. but his presence through videos felt like a real friend. maybe its okay to be a little parasocial
Amy was tough. I was inconsolable when Heath Ledger died. Parasocial grief — how society reacts when remembering our false god celebrities are in fact mortal — is fascinating
I was going to write about pop stars dying as it’s Amy’s anniversary at the end of July. Loved this piece ❤️
Love your writing
