Rest in Peace, Walkazo

You should probably redact the link, because there's a picture of the accident that killed Walkazo (yes this is the one that killed her). It's trigger worthy.

It also reveals her actual name in there.
 
Well for the sake of privacy and respect for her private identity I'll leave it removed.
 
Yeah, maybe, but it's not just the fact that it's simply a car on its side. It's a picture of a wreck that killed Walkazo, and images can just make it worse. Some people are more sensitive to this than others. I was on chat the other day and even though I saw a worse picture (it was a picture of a car upside-down in a ditch), other people advised against posting the article because it's horrible. They advised that if you want the article, you should just PM someone about it if they want.

It just dawned on me that Walkazo and I live in the same city.

I live 10 minutes away, and about two hours away from the accident. My mom heard about the story on the news.

It's fucking scary.
 
This is still so shocking. I have always admired Walkazo's art and comics. She was, without doubt, one of the most creative and artistic users here. I also have always admired her calm, kind and caring personality. It is so heartbreaking to see such an amazing person taken from us like this. The possibility of something like this happening just never dawned on me. I may not have been close to her as some other people here, but I have always respected her. Rest in peace, Walkazo, know that your contributions to this site will never be forgotten.
 
I have seen several news outlets like CP24, CTV and CityNews report the same thing but one of them mentions that Walkazo (under her real name) was the one that indeed died. Which makes this legit and real.

Like everyone said, it's very tragic and sad. So there is no denying it.
 
This is not the right topic to take sidetracks onto tangentally related subjects. Please take those to another topic, and let this one be for mourning Walkazo.

Thank you.
 
Sorry if this post sounds weird and awry, it's hard trying to process words and sentences and thoughts still. This is kind of unrelated to Walkazo herself, so I apologize if this is the wrong place for this, but I wanted to say that this is the closest community I have ever seen. Seeing everyone come and band together here and on chat has been the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I don't know how to describe it, truthfully. We all have our ups and downs but the way this place has come together to mourn and express our memories and thoughts about Walkazo is just incredible and remarkable. This is a true family. I don't want to speak on Walkazo's behalf, but I bet she'd be happy just seeing how much we've all come together to support one another, to comfort and help each other through this time. I saw someone, I think it was KPH, say on IRC about just how close-knit this community is. I'm proud of you guys. Thank you for being here for each other. I just wanted to say that.
 
Well I'm glad the community is here when me and my twin were cutting ourselves and had a sudden outbreak, and I'm glad the community is always here for anyone suffering. Incidents like these, while horrific in all ways, make us come together and closer to one another, let's not deny it. I mean, we don't even physically know each other and we probably won't, yet we still closely and strongly connect to each other in times like this.

As 3K said, everyone here are friends to each other, and that's a rare thing to see in online communities. I'm really proud to be part of this community.
 
This community is full of interesting, funny, amazing, and kind users. I'm also proud to have been a part of this community, and to have met you all.

I want you all to know that, just in the off chance that something happens to me, you've all been incredibly kind and supportive even at my low points, and always given me second chances when I make stupid mistakes.

I love each and every one of you, and I mean that sincerely.

Sorry if this post sounds all "me, me, me", but I feel in light of recent events, if I were to suddenly pop off, I'm not sure how you guys would know how I truly feel about you all.


Probably the biggest thing I'm going to miss about Walkazo was how smart she was. Even though I never really interacted with her much, I'd often come across one of her posts, whether it was a scientific post, or something less serious like the Doctor Who topic or even discussing Mario. She would always go into great detail at the topic at hand, even if it didn't need detail as such. It was just nice to come across one of her posts, because you knew it was going to be good.
And she was never wrong, either. Everything she said was always on point, and made perfect sense, even to an idiot like me. Can't forget her art either, the way it was made, just with pens and pencils, yet it came out so beautiful.

Such a smart and talented life taken away at such a young age, it's undeniably cruel. All I would really want to say to her was simply "Thank you".

Thank you for your knowledge, and your wit. Thank you for your dedication to the job. Thank you for your kindness. I will miss you dearly. Please rest easy, in peace.
