Why did I just die

i bought the youtooz so it can animate my videos for me

"Death. Such a small word for such a big thing."

Goodbye, Technoblade. Go to that field of flowers, where all finished stories go. Yours will never be forgotten.

holy shit that was amazing...

"A Yellow Rose - a symbol of friendship." IMMA NEED A MINUTE-

Technoblade never dies, the voices urged, promised, cursed. “I guess we’ll have to see,” Technoblade replied, and began to laugh.

I think the saddest part of Passerine was of the insignificance of it all. For example, Niki and Tubbo were and are such amazing people, but it really shows how fleeting life is and how true talent isn't appreciated. Tubbo and Tommy never got to meet, and Niki died an undeserving death. If you think about it, Sapnap wasn't the enemy, and Dream wasn't either. The fact that they were put at the end really hammers home that point. Such a beautiful story and such a beautiful animation.

THIS IS REALLY GOOD BUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED

THIS IS SO GOOD????? HELLO NOW I GET WHY YOU WERE CRYING OVER PERSIMM- I MEAN PASSERINE LMFAO

“My life was fulfilled the day I met you and Tommy,” Techno said. “Everything that came after was an epilogue I frankly didn’t deserve. After we get him back, someday-not someday soon, I hope, but someday, I want to get to follow you to wherever finished stories go.” This will forever be my favorite part

"Techno tied his hair back in a simple knot; there would be no intericate braids for a while, no flowers heavy with meaning"

“Niki hoped, at the very least, that they would plant the prettiest flowers over her grave.” Passerine, Chapter 4

"Then they stepped back, surveying their work. Tommy was polished. Tommy was spotless. Tommy was dead."

I’m not trying to plague every video with sadness from the recent news, but I had to come and admire the beauty of this animatic to honor both sadist’s skill and techno’s whole existence.

i’m not a sentimental man, but something keeps bringing me back here. i remember when this first came out, i remember the emotions it evoked. but the line between emotions from fiction and emotions of reality is a line better not crossed. it should be apparent to us all now that the man we see here and the man that he was created via are not the same. one is a monster, and the other is… what? nothing, now? a memory? i don’t know. I don’t have to know. i’m waxing poetic in a youtube comment section of a dead fandom.

"when we get home, we'll play it for you as many times as you want tommy. anything you want, just keep your eyes open." this quote hits so much harder when you see them playing the lullaby at his *grave*

What does slaughtered mean? " "I tickled them. " "Oh." "To *death* " "OH"

"Now Wilbur held his brother-a baby no longer, but still so, so small-to his chest as they walked through the quiet, empty camp. Wilbur spoke the words he'd first spoken to his brother all those years before, over an over, like an enchantment or a prayer to bring him back to life once more. 'I will love you forever, I will love you forever, I will love you forever." But this time, Tommy did not wake up." ITS BEEN SO LONG BUT THIS STILL HITSSSSSS :((

Technoblade never dies, Echoed throughout the seas and dykes Heard through mountains and skies Said through the land where the legend had lie. All of us who took to heart of his passing will forever sing in a thousand cries… Technoblade never dies

“Niki could only hope her gravestone would be decorated with the prettiest of flowers...” This is one of the ones that hurt me the most

“I tickled them.” Technoblade said. “Oh.” “To death.” _"Oh."_

“Does this mean we’re friends?” “Obviously.” Hits me every time.

So, despite the world waiting for him beyond the sapphire sky, he turned to look at his son one last time. His golden boy with the golden smile. And he hugged him. It was a simple thing, a quiet thing, that parents have been doing for their children since the very concept of parenthood was created. But still, to Phil, it felt like a revelation. Every version of Tommy hugged him back.

People who haven't read Passerine's reaction: "Why he die" *_"WHY HE DIE"_*

HELP GIRL IM CRYING

Please this fanfiction could be it's own fucking novel. It was so beautiful and so passionate and oh my gods so terribly heartbreaking. `` *War.* Such a small word for such a big thing. `` `` *Death.* Such a small word for such a big thing. `` `` *God.* Such a big word for such a small thing. ``

"Techno watched Tommy fall backwards, impossibly slow. It took a moment for the reality to sink in - Techno could only watch, utterly numb, utterly cold, utterly lost inside his own head"

“In a century, people would walk this land again and see only green hills blooming with blue flowers.“ - passerine, tubbo

"You calling me a mortal, Philza?” “That depends.” Philza smiled gently. “Do you still think it’s an insult?”

Came here to see Techno again, this fanfic was the best I've ever read. And when he gives his immortality away to Phil, I laughed not knowing that a year from then he'd really give it up and leave. We'll miss him, every day we'll think of him. Good luck Techno

"It was felt by a soldier knocking on the door of a home he could no longer recognize. When his sister opened the door, he swore she didn’t recognize him, either. But then she threw her arms around him, sobbing into his dirty shirt, and they fell onto the wooden floors that carried the weight of their shared childhoods in its scratches and dents. He held her and cried and was known." HOLY SHIT I LOVE PASSERINE TUBBO

brb sobbing

“Niki hoped, at the very least, they would plant the prettiest flowers over her grave”

it hurts watching the people you found comfort in become monsters

The only colored things in the entire video were the yellow flowers. Sadist’s conveyance through detail is next-level.

"'Tommy,' Wilbur whispered into Tommy’s hair, 'you were six.'" *incessant crying*

In the fanfic Niki's line killed me Niki hoped, at the very least, that they would plant the prettiest flowers over her grave.

It's been almost a year.... I'm still crying.... "I would've hunted them down with you Philza, the people who did that to your town. I would have given you your vengeance on a silver platter. I would have given you the world." -Passerine Technoblade I don't know why but I love this quote. (Edit) THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE LIKES! Damn another year goes by and now I'm gonna cry over this all over again. Should I read Passerine again?? Also I still think this might be my favorite quote. It's just so perfectly sad 😭

“I don’t need to be protected, Wilbur,” Tommy said weakly. “Then why do you always look so sad?”

tommy's eyes drifted shut. his mother's laughter had never sounded clearer.

“A father’s arms never forgot the shape of a child.” 😔

"It was felt by an old neighbor looking after the shop of the kind girl who always had been so kind to him. A sign stood at the door. Closed indefinitely, it said, but the neighbor knew it would be closed forever. And still he’d come, day after day. His wife was gone and so was the kind girl. But the flowers, oh, they still needed watering."

Passerine just _FEELS_ different after July 1st Watching Techno playing the violin and Wilbur playing the guitar feels very nostalgic in a sort of tragic and sorrowful way... These tears aren't for Tommy, it's for Techno

“Technoblade? That’s a stupid name.” - Tommy “The Green Army? That’s a stupid name.” - Technoblade

“Tommy,” Wilbur whispered into Tommy’s hair, “you were six.” This is what got me

don't mind me, just watching old fan man wilbur content and,,, reflecting,,,,

”Tommy’s eyes drifted shut. _His mother’s laughter had never sounded clearer.”_

SEE U GUYS LATER IN THE CHAT WHEN WE ALL CRY

"And the prince would blink drowsiness from his eyes, ask Tubbo who he was, and Tubbo would say '"A friend,"' and maybe in another life that wouldn't be a lie." Passerine, ch. 6

Ik this is almost a year old, but I still wanted to add my favorite quote, I noticed nobody said, “And looking at Tommy’s peaceful face was what finally, finally, made Technoblade-emperor of ice, blood god, destroyer of worlds-cry.”

"Tubbo could almost see himself shaking the prince awake. And the prince would blink drowsiness from his eyes, ask Tubbo who he was, and Tubbo would say, “A friend,” and maybe in another life that wouldn’t be a lie. Tubbo’s cheeks felt warm. He knew he must be crying. He knew he must be sad. But for whom? Who was he even mourning? His kingdom’s prince, yes, but the harsher truth, a stranger. A stranger whose laughter still faintly echoed in Tubbo’s head like a half-remembered song from a distant childhood. A stranger who’d gambled his life for his kingdom and lost it a heartbeat away from victory-if this bitter thing could even be called that. A stranger that felt like no stranger at all. But a stranger nonetheless, Tubbo reminded himself. And through a blur of tears, Tubbo saw what the general had left behind, tucked gently behind the prince’s ear, like a final offering: a single yellow rose." -Passerine, chapter 4 I believe

Okay, so- nice detail: when Techno is still a god, his ears are pointy. After he gives up his godhood, his ears turn rounded. Lovely

“It was felt by the storyteller. The wheel was broken at their feet. They were free. They were free. They were free.”

Rewatching this at the beginning of July, 2022, this hits differently. Seeing this after recent news.. This animation served as my techno cosplay inspiration, and now... I feel like Wilbur at 2:20... Devastated and confused. But I know that I'll be ok. I'll smile as I dawn my cosplay. I'll remember his laugh and his light in my dark times. Thank you SAD-ist for this animation, it holds a special place in my heart now.

Even after all these years, this animatic still gets me. The things I would do to read Passerine again for the first time...

“At fifteen years old, Tommy was the oldest he’d ever been, but he never felt so young.” - Chapter 3

The fact that the only spoken words are "TOMMY! nonononono" Hits so fricking hard

So I’m not the only one who returned

This Hurts a bit more now. TECHNO NEVER DIES

“Tommy really did get a lot taller. In time, he would grow to be even taller than Philza was. If only he hadn’t died before he could.”

NOT THE YELLOW ROSE... "ARE WE FRIENDS, THEN?" "WELL, OBVIOUSLY" IM IN TEARS

This hits in the gut after you finally finish reading the entire fic; it really shows the pain of living but the happiness that it’s worth. Sure, death is sweet, and running away seems free, but enjoy the life you have while you still have it. You never know how much you might regret not doing something.

I first watched this in 2021, when I first joined the fandom and started reading the fanfiction. It is now almost 3 years since I watched it, I am no longer in the fandom. My favourite cc is no longer here (rip Techno 🕊️👑), another I used to hold in high regard has fallen (Will) but I still love this animatic I have learnt to play cafe 1930 on my violin, it is a beautiful piece.

“Niki hoped they’d plant the prettiest flowers on her grave”

HAHA TOMMYINNIT COMMENTING “why did i just die” IS GLORIOUS

People mourned the beauty of a wilting rose, but an unblooming bud would give a quieter heartache - blujamas, thcscus Death. Such a small word for such a big thing. - blujamas, thcscus

I would have played for techno, let him braid my hair and more. All for him to keep his eyes open

Philza: “wow this is amazing!” Tommy: “why...why am I dead?”

"And through a blur of tears, Tubbo saw what the general had left behind, tucked gently behind the prince’s ear, like a final offering: a single yellow rose."

techno would be so disappointed with all the wilbur stuff. coming back here always reminds me of a better time. thanks, sadist :)

Long ago, we came here grieving for Tommy. Now, we grieve for Techno. Heartbreaking

“I don’t kick and *scream* ,” Tommy huffed, “I let out a manly *whine* .”

WHAT?!!? SAPNAP KILLED TOMMY?!?!!?!? AND THAT WILBUR SCREAM CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. This was amazing!

Watching this after the recent news, i wonder if techno thought of this video before he passed and was like "wait a minute...this is not how the story actually goes at all... SCAM" imma go cry again

*sigh* fuck good things don’t last, ones gone and the other turned out to be an asshole despite that I still enjoy this, because it’s amazing art, unfortunately reality just tends to be upsetting

“Of all the things that could have broken him, Techno didn’t understand why it had to be the sight of Tommy actually looking clean. He’d held it together when they were walking back to camp, he’d held it together when Wilbur pinned him with accusations that simply echoed what the voices had been saying for years. Monster, monster, monster. He’d killed a thousand men, seen allies eviscerated and witnessed the fall of kingdoms. He’d seen Philza kneel. He’d seen the world end a hundred times over and watched its people rebuild it over and over while he stood back, helpless, wanting to scream at them for being foolish but also yearning, with all his might, to be able to love something enough to also love what grew from its ruins. And looking at Tommy’s peaceful face was what finally, finally, made Technoblade-emperor of ice, blood god, destroyer of worlds-cry.” Chapter 5 Passerine

"His Tommy, lying so still in his brother's arms. His Tommy, who braided his hair with sweet-smelling flowers. His Tommy, who was quick to anger but quicker to laugh. His Tommy." - Chapter 5

Somewhere, far out in the universe, there is a peaceful kingdom. It's king was wise and fair, and it's general was tough as he was gentle. The castle was huge, with a large garden surounding an elegant pavilion, with a simple grave in the center. If one was to walk the halls of the castle, you could hear music, which wasn't uncommon in the city, but the music in the castle sounded... sad. It mourned, and it cried through the empty hallways; for all the servants were out in the city, celebrating their newfound peace. If you followed the melancholy music, you'd find a small room, with only two people. The wise king, playing an old guitar, and the brutal general, playing a violin. It was strange, seeing these two play such sad and beautiful music. They played without stopping till the sun drooped down low, casting their shadows against the wall. Only then, in the waning light, did they stop, and pack up their instruments. By then, the festivities had ceased, and people went back to their homes. No one knew of their secret songs, but the lingering feeling of two other figures reminded them that someone *was* listening. A woman, who had left her two boys unwillingly- and a son, who would never outgrow his boy-hood.

It really hits differently after reading the fanfic😭 Love how Sadist was able to tell almost the complete story in this 💛

me: imagine she actually took the time to find each note on his guitar and move his finger to the frets also me: tries the notes in the video OMFG

*_“Immortal life. That should be an oxymoron.”_* -Thcscus, Passerine

Ok. Am I the only one who wants to cry after seeing this?

“God. Such a small word for such a big thing.” “Death. Such a big thing for such a small word.”

Fun fact: the "TOMMY" Is from when tommy almost punches wilbur off a bridge in the nether

"wilbah what's passerine?" "wilblah what is archive of our own?"

It hits different, it makes me feel sad again and again. Rest in Peace Technoblade

the part at 2:13 to 2:31 makes me cry so so much cause it shows how much wilbur had to mature in such a short amount of time 😭

"The older prince-Wilbur, then, not Wilby; gods know what Techno would have said and done if the man had truly named his son Wilby-"

I JUST REALIZED THAT TECHNOS EARS ARE ROUND AT THE END BECAUSE HE GAVE UP HIS IMMORTALITY OMG SADIST U GODDESS

*“I just want to go home and bury my brother.”*

"They call you the Angel of Death" Tommy began, and Philza knew the end was near. "But that's not all that you are. What are you the god of Philza?" The words were Tommy, but the voice was not. It was the whispers of a thousand Tommy's, a thousand different universes. It was the shout of those who had been Philza's sons and those who never were. It was the battle cry of soldiers and thieves, the exiled and the dead , the lost and returning. It was the demand of all the boys Phillza had failed. "Are your wings not a reminder of who you are?" "You are passerine and bird of prey, both" Philza turned to look at Tommy, but he was not looking at Tommy, or more accurately he was looking at all of Tommy. Brief images of all the Tommy's that had come before . Here tall man with a golden crown of laurels. Here a young boy with a broken compass strung around his neck. Here a feathered creature with wide blue eyes. Here a weather warrior with alliums tucked into the pockets of his ruined coat. "God of death they call you" every Tommy said at once "and they are closer to the truth than they think. Afterall is death just a final act of liberation?" "Tell me you look out to every open window wish only to fly away." "Tell what the spider and his infinite authority fears above all." "Tell me what you are!" "I am the god of freedom" Philza said "and I'm flying the fuck out of here!" "Dam right you are." Tommy grinned

“And Niki hoped that they would plant the most beautiful flowers on her grave”

“That is what it feels,” someone gasped, “to lose everything.” -chapter 5

"That is what it feels" someone gasped, "To lose everything" This part broke me

it’s been 3 years and i feel like someone stabbed me with nostalgia yall i miss these times it was sm simpler

“I’m not done yet!” Tommy said, and produced one more flower-a single yellow rose. “This one’s my favorite,” he added as he gently tucked the flower behind Technoblade’s ear, the one that had the emerald earring that Wilbur had found so familiar, “because it means friendship.”

“My life was fulfilled the day I met you and Tommy,” Techno said. “Everything that came after was an epilogue I frankly didn’t deserve. After we get him back, someday-not someday soon, I hope, but someday, I want to get to follow you to wherever finished stories go.”

i really appreciate your attention to detail with especially techno’s violin playing, you had the bowings generally realistic and he shifted and used the correct fingers at the right times and its just so nice to see
