Rest in peace EmpressAngel

[Top Gun]

I don't know how you're supposed to start a thread like this. I keep hoping that it's some horrific dream that I'll wake up from. Yesterday we learned that @EmpressAngel had suddenly passed away on Tuesday. To say that I'm gutted doesn't even begin to describe it.

There's a group of us who got to know each other in the Action folder on the ASMB, and some 20 years ago we started getting together in AIM group chats, at first to watch and discuss shows together but eventually to just hang out and talk every night. Angel was part of it from the beginning. Our group survived the end of AIM and moved to Discord, and hardly a day went by when I didn't talk to her about something or other. She'd send me the most godawful trash anime DVDs she could find every birthday and Christmas, along with delicious homemade cookies as an apology. We just watched one of them together this past weekend. Nothing about this feels real.

I think Cille put it best: she should be here, but now she's not.

Man that's terrible. Rest in Peace.

It just feels so monumentally unfair. It’s like all the air was sucked out of the room. I actually thought for a minute maybe it was some petty joke but that would be too cruel. I’m gonna miss her so much.

All Might get her to squirt to death?

Sorry, just trying to add some levity here. I'm beyond shocked. Rest up Empress.

This is the kind of news I dread seeing.  I've seen her posts for years, but I can't say I know her.  To me, all of you are ageless and eternal, and things like this can be absolutely shattering.

RIP @EmpressAngel

O damn.. that fkn sucks

This is really sad, my condolences to everyone whose lives she touched.

I’m not on here often, but I did frequent the old ASMB way back when and interacted with her quite a bit there, as well as on the new Discord.  To say I was shocked to hear about this would be an understatement.  I really don’t know what else to say.  This just really sucks.

RIP EmpressAngel

What?  She passed?  I…I don’t even know what to say.  She was always posting here, joking around with the rest of us, not afraid to tell anyone off.

I don’t know what to say really.  RIP.
