Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Cutie Gwen]

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.

You're not running from it. You're trying to think of how to cope with it. It took me a week to realize the last person this happened to was truly gone. Give your brother a hug, hold a moment of silence, try distracting yourself, etc. None of these options are wrong

 

[Deleted member]

I always found Brelooming as someone with a good heart who sadly had to deal with many things.

But he for sure will always be remembered by me as the wonderful person I found him as, since he worked deeply to become one.

If he is somewhere else now, I deeply hope that somewhere is a place as worth as himself.

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

And even then that wouldn’t have helped with the leukemia

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

The last interaction I had with Brelooming on Smashboards was about how much he loved the community here, he said he loved us more than even himself.

We matter to him, and he matters to us. Not even death can stop that.

I wish I had more insightful words to say, Just remember that Brelooming loved y'all.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I’m a kid it’s not like I could do that.

You're 15, right?

I was involved in a little bit of service when I was that age.

See what different clubs or organizations are around you at your High School. You might be surprised what you find.

 

[Will]

And even then that wouldn’t have helped with the leukemia

Yep, no vaccine for cancer.

I’m not 15. Even then I’m on Summer break so all I do is lie around n’ ****.

[redfeatherraven]

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.

I know what you're saying's true.

I know it's just kinda raging to rage and venting to vent.

But right now I'm just lookin up, and fam, I gotta tell you.

I see an awful lot of air in need of a beatin.

 

[PsySmasher]

Just... ****ing goddamn man.

It's so unfortunate to see Brelooming go at this age.

But I'm so glad for the time I got to interact with him...

Not as a friend, but as a member of the Smashboards family.

And for that, I'm eternally grateful.

Rest in peace Brelooming.

 

[Metal Shop X]

You know, one of my character is the grim reaper himself.

I was going to start working on him next afte Hota, but I think I am not going to work on him until some time passes, again, to not leave a bad taste in peoples mouth.

 

[Noipoi]

I’m not 15. Even then I’m on Summer break so all I do is lie around n’ ****.

If all you're doing is laying around, surely you have time to help or something?

Not saying you have to, but if you want to, then you have the opportunity.

I’m with ya man. Before he came to me in discord to vent and talk about this, one of the last interactions I had with him on this thread before he deleted his account was yelling at him for something

I’m tryin to keep it together here at work, and cause I promised him I would. Hard not to beat myself up over it though.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

For the record I'm going to remind everyone to drink some water to stay hydrated or have something to eat. We're all in grief but please remember to take care of yourselves too

And definitely don’t feel pressured to stay here at all. It’s perfectly reasonable to not want to be here, of all places, during this time.

Take some self-care time, y’all.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'll be back later guys. There's just been nothing for me to want to talk about given what happened today.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

That’s too bad to hear about Brelooming. Tragic really, considering his age.

Hopefully he’s in a much better state of being. My grandmother passed away from her cancer coming back over the summer (she previously toppled stage 4 the first time, around the time I was born). Sometimes the release of all the pain of it is the better choice. Hopefully he found time now to rest.

Mourning is something that’s different for everybody. If your way of mourning is taking a break from here, do it. If your way of mourning is to play Smash with friends, do it.

One thing I will suggest, though, is to celebrate Brelooming. Maybe none of us knew him in-person, but don’t focus too much on the bad. The thing that got me through losing my dog and my grandmother within 6 months of each other was that not only were they no longer feeling pain, but the amazing things we’d done together before they passed.

I’m sure Brelooming appreciates the feels right now. Honor him how you can. But more importantly, nobody should be blaming themselves for anything. I was hard on myself when my dog/grandma died. What could I have done to prevent it? I wasn’t a good friend/grandson, etc... It’s none of that. You’re a human being, and you can’t be there for who needs it all the time.

But I would say, this thread was. He knew you guys cared. We should be proud. Imagine, for a moment, a young man at his age potentially not having as many personal friends in a time when you face your own mortality, yet a group of strangers who happens to like the same game as you have your back.

That’s pretty cool.

How old are you then? You're in your mid-late teens, right? I apologize if I'm incorrect but it's not on your profile and I don't believe you've ever brought it up.

Anyways, take a look into nearby nonprofits, community service organizations, or volunteer opportunities. If you rely on your parents/friends for rides, see if you can do things with them so you have a ride.

I'm thankful for Brelooming being here he was such a good dude and he always made me happy when we got to interact, It's really a shame that he had to pass at this young of an age. It's a tragedy honestly.

But for the time he was here he was a great kid whom I really enjoyed hanging out with and for that I will always be appreciative of him, He was truly a good one.

I may not have interacted with him on a personal level but I remember when everyone made a big deal out of him roasting people and him not wanting to be known as the roasting dude, I remember when we had that fall-out but we eventually made up, I remember when he learned what "Fetish" meant and he was disgusted, He was there for ReggieBoards, I remember he was apart of the Kasumi Karavan, Etc. We had a lot of good memories of Brelooming.

I will forever be appreciative of him being apart of the SmashBoards family, May Brelooming rest in peace.

Even being a teen I’m nervous to step outside and like, have to interact with people.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I wish I got to interact more with Brelooming while he was still active here, as alot of you know, my number 1 goal with my ****post is to make peoples days better, even if by a bit, so I really hope I was able to make his days better while he was with us.

Feel free to get ice cream if you're not lactose intolerant or on a strict diet.

Get some comfort food. As someone with depression sadness, hunger, and exhaustion all kind of get muddied together sometimes. Not taking care of yourself will only make the pain worse, and for no good reason. Starving yourself because of self-guilt over all this is the last thing Brelooming would have wanted in this situation.

 

[Deleted member]

I am thankful that Brelooming came here in SmashBoards.

I am thankful he sent me kind messages in our Discord.

I am thankful for all of the posts he made.

And all of the experiences we had together. We all are a great family.

Brelooming was a truly great member, may he be resting in peace. He was also a best friend to all of us. Bless you, Brelooming.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Even being a teen I’m nervous to step outside and like, have to interact with people.

You want to be better, right?

Then that seems to me like a challenge to be overcome.

Have you spoken to a professional or attempted to find self-help resources (i.e. books, r/SocialSkills, etc) for this?

I can't eat rn because of gastroenteritis bro I'd throw up

I actually had to stuff something in my face before taking some mucinex and man did it hurt

 

[Metal Shop X]

Also, **** cancer.

It's always the peoples who deserve it the least that get it and end up suffering because of it.

I remember stuffing my face and crying for three hours straight until I just passed out last time. The kid loved us and wouldn't want us to hurt our bodies for him

 

[ZephyrZ]

When these things happen, I don't tend to mourn much. I just lower my head and keep trudging forward. I suppose a part of it is that I can be a bit detached, but another part is probably that I just don't like dwelling on the past.

Regardless though, full respects to Breloom and anyone who cared about him. I'm on a bit of a tight budget, but perhaps I'll take some time to donate a little money to a research charity sometime tonight.

That's also reasonable

Just

Take care of yourself

Lie down if it'll make you feel physically better. Or rest in whatever position will help.

I’ve spoken with several different therapists and psychiatrists before but nothing over the years has helped.

I've only been to bed and bathroom for the past 2 days I think I'm good

I need some advice
*takes a deep breath*

So DQB2 is up for pre buy and so is the bundle that has all the DLC and costs 79.99. Im thinking about getting the bundle and have 118.03 in my eshop. Problem, I also want FE and AC whenever that comes out.

Woukd it be smart to buy the DQB2 bundle, have 38.04 in the eshop and when Animal Crossing (or FE if AC comes out late) comes out, add the difference,21.95, to eshop and buy those games?

 

[Rie Sonomura]

If we are going to discuss this we should discuss this in a PM to not damper the mood for people who don't want to hear it. Reply to this message and I'll add you to a PM.

Add me too...

I talked with my mother some minutes ago, and she wanted to share her condolences too.

My family and I had to deal with a similar scenario during December and the month of February, so she perfectly understands how we are right now.

ice cream isnt that good of an idea either seeing how its easy to overeat when you are stressed. The result will be you overeating on icecream because you are sad, stressed, depressed and gaining pounds which will make you even moore stressed and depressed.

It's possible.

DQB2 is worth to pick with the DLC, and you could keep saving some money while you wait for the game's launch for FE and Animal Crossing.

DaybreakHorizon Just wanted to say I appreciate the help, by the way.
