That's real awful. Just like with that player who was allowed to play the game before release, he'll never know who's going to be in the Fighter Pass now.

People don't deserve to die so early in life, no matter who they are. Rest in peace.

He'll never even see Kasumi in P5R. Really wanted to buy him that game to celebrate his recovery...

Hello, everyone. I come bearing very unfortunate news.

A few members of this forum have been in contact with Brelooming Disaster and his family ever since his initial diagnosis, and we just got an update on his condition.

Sadly, earlier today, he passed away. I don't even know what to say in this situation. Someone like him never deserved to go through such a terrible experience. You could tell that each passing moment made him more and more stressed.

I ask that you all take a moment to pay your respects to him. Even if you didn't know him personally, Brelooming was a very active member of this community, and it's heartbreaking to hear this happen.
..........Oh god.

My heart goes out to the family just....

Jesus christ

I have a means to honor Brelooming in my own way. I intended to include him on my list and even told him rather fondly that it would occur eventually. Hilariously enough, he was worried it would be a goofy description from start to end. Oh what easier times they were. This was all before he got diagnosed with tuberculosis by the way.

I kinda just feel like I should do more.
Recently I've had to come to peace with the same. Wrestled with it plenty here, even.

But realization kinda hit me while I was doing the office bit the other day.

Being more than we were the day before. That's enough, right there. That's how great things happen.

You ain't gotta be God out the gate. You ain't somehow unworthy. Just be more than the day before, fam.

And then months later now everyone on the planet is petitioning to add Breloom in Smash in his honor and to spread even more leukemia awareness than the 90s/00s couldve dreamed of getting.

It's a nice thought of the future, I think :240:

I swear, I keep passing by graveyards on the way home. Now it just creeps me out.

And then my school decided to play Old Town Road of all things first during a college signing day. Maybe I'm an old man trapped in a young body, but I'm so different from everybody else.

I was thinking about him earlier at school, but I didn't know this actually happened. We can really only respect his wishes and look on the bright side. This is coming from someone who has already lost family at a time I never wanted.

Life is too short for the good to die young like this.

I don't think my previous icon was appropriate considering the circumstances, sorry if it offended anyone.
I don't know a situation where it is offensive, that's more bad timing than a gesture to be mean

It's not like you added it on today is my point

After more thoughts about it, I don't think I be able to finish the sprite tonight, 1, because my mood as been severely bring down by what just happened, and 2, even if I did finish it, I think it be just in bad taste to post a horrible creature at a time like this.

Sorry to everyone who wanted to see it done today, I do better tomorrow.

I can't even try to be witty or brighten the mood, this is just heartbreaking.
If it's any consolation, there is an air of irony to your current avatar being the grim reaper. Almost like even death itself mourns the tragic loss of someone, which is partially true depending on the culture depicting the entity.

On that same note, this very forum is essentially Brelooming's memento mori. I'll never forget the kid.

Every person in the spot you just watched was once a kid in your exact shoes.

Great things ain't impossible.
Life isn’t some magic *** Disney movie.

Anyway, he probably wouldn’t have wanted me to feel bad, but I just can’t stop feeling bad. I feel like it is partly my fault.

If you recognize that your feelings are not what you actually think then it's still progress

I know I shouldn't blame myself, but I can't stop thinking about every time I told him it would be okay.

I feel like such a liar.

I take no offense at an image of the Reaper.

The real one better mark me, though.

I ain't looking to see it for a good, long time, but when I do, we gonna have us some ****in conversation.

And if my words still haven't returned to me by then, I'm just gonna communicate my genuine displeasure with every chunk I tear out of his bony ass.

If anyone needs anybody to talk to through this, my inbox is open.

Before he went, I was talking to him. He told me that all he wants is that people don’t stay sour for too long and that people were happy with him.

I told him that I would make sure they knew, if he fought bravely.

And he did.

Dude is really brave. So, I owe it to him to try and bounce back soon.

As difficult as it is.

I wish I had the words for a situation like this. Ultimately, our power is limited. There's only so much one person can do. But I think not for ourselves, but for Breloom, we should make it our effort to help as many people as possible in life. Because even one life saved makes it all worth it.

You're right, he's right.

I'm allowed to be upset, but i'm gonna try to bounce back.

Deviant art is holding an HTTYD contest, and I gotta work on my entry. That should take my mind off things.

It’s certainly possible, it’s just that my self esteem is way too low for THAT type of dreaming.

So yeah like I said earlier I got tuberculosis myself when I was about 10 from late 2011 to early 2012 I think. For several months I had several hospital trips and was drugged the **** up until I believe March when I was able to actually go home after being considered not contagious anymore. I didn't have any drug resistant TB thank ****, so the treatment was a success. Hella expensive though IIRC.

I didn't really ever think about dying, my thoughts were more "what do you mean I can't play my DS" or "**** yeah no school".

Thought I'd share my story but I'm pretty bad with wording so maybe it's not as effective or impactful.

If anyone should feel bad, it's me. I used to poke fun at him being naive due to his age.


I've experienced a lot of death in my family, they were all old, you just kinda expect old people to eventually go on...


Not a kid.

For a split second I thought Brelooming was back for some dumb *** reason. I feel bad for running from this but I’m leaving for a while.
Don’t feel bad. This is an emotional bomb for a lot of people. Take some time.

In the end, death just does their job. Everyone's turn has to come someday.

If anything, one should be annoyed at modern medicine still being unable to prevent unfortunate incidents like this. But otherwise, there's no one to blame, it's just like beating the air.

Rest in peace Brelooming.
We took you for granted when we shouldn't have.
You were passionate, energetic and friendly. You stood firmly behind your opinions but you were civil about them.
You were more mature than many of us here but you were way too young for what happened.

Remember that in situations like this, there's nothing that you can do. The past can't be changed, and sometimes the future can't be changed either. Maybe that sounds grim for some people but as someone who used to worry constantly about things I could've done in the past, I view it as a reason to never dwell on what I could've done. It's always more worthwhile to think about what you can do in the future and in the present. And sometimes, you have to remember that there might not have been anything you could have done in the first place. But in the end we all did our part. Whether you were posting here or supporting Brelooming in his dms, we all collectively made him a bit happier before the end, and sometimes thats all you can do.

The TB vaccine isn't guaranteed like most other ones.

Didn't really talked with him much, but I remember when I accidentally mentioned the word fetish and we ended up teaching him the meaning and learning about his age.
