Discussion Famous person that you miss from CTB?

[RedKingdom]

I randomly thought of this since I'm currently listening to Linkin Park. For me it's easily Chester Bennington. I miss that dude so much. Rest in peace buddy

 

[Yuki K]

Virginia Woolf. She was an author. Drowned herself. Her works are very admirable. Rest in peace madam

 

[Krieger]

Chester Bennington also, Chris Cornell, Ian Curtis, Keith Flint, Elliott Smith, Layne Staley (accidental but whatever)

The world didn't deserve Hunter S Thompson.

 

[GasMonkey]

Reckful

 

[NoHorizon]

Chester Bennington also. Listening to One More Light makes me cry every single time.

 

[Shadowlord900]

Robin Williams. Must have been devastating for his daughter.

 

[Fwompje]

Sylvia Plath and Kurt Cobain. Would've loved to be able to read more by Plath and I wonder what Kurt would be like these days. What would his music sound like, his political views, etc.

 

[StillBreathing]

Heath Ledger. Some say it wasn't a suicide but he took a cocktail of sleeping pills causing enough sedation for him to stop breathing. I remember watching him in Knights Tale and Patriot when I was little and just recently learned about his death.

Ah man can't believe I forgot about Heath Ledger. I loved his performance as the Joker in Batman.

Yes he was such a great actor. Apparently he was under a lot of stress at the time which is why I believe it was an accidental CTB.

 

[leeloosnow]

alan turing (even tho that was coerced ctb)

 

[Darkover]

avicii, (mac miller and lil peep, even tho they was accidental overdoes)

[thewashingmachine]

Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis. RIP.

 

[LateForTheBus]

Chester Bennington
Chris Cornell
Robin Williams
Mindy McCready

 

[scabs]

Mark Linkous from the band Sparklehorse. I have autism and have trouble relating to people unless it's through deep connection, but when I first heard his music I thought "this guy gets it".

 

[Touhou]

Kurt Cobain.

 

[sorrowed_ender]

Online he was known as Etika, but his name is Desmond Amofah. He was a Youtuber who was known in the Smash Bros and Nintendo community and I loved his videos. his mental health started going downhill alot, and lots of people thought it was just his humor, when in reality he was in psychosis and was suicidal. He killed himself in june of 2019, almost close to his birthday I think. It KILLS me knowing sick fucks online thought his calls for help and obvious psychotic behavior was all an act. I hate it. People of color with mental health issues are never taken seriously and I hope one day they will be. because they are often seen as violent and erratic when experiencing mental illness, when in reality they are all the same as white people in their experiences in mental health, it's all just a racial prejudice. I know he is no longer suffering, but I miss Etika alot. He was such a charming and kind person always there for his community to bring happiness to all. Rest in peace man...

 

[Interloper]

Reckful. If I had the things at hand that I do now, I would have been able to do it there and then. Parasocial as all hell but I don't really care.

 

[watchdog]

Sylvia Plath was one of my favorite authors. I only have a copy of The Bell Jar and most of her other works I read online.

 

[Ampsvx123]

Frank Wolf, never met him, but lived near him. To think, I am now older than him...

 

[nonialabaster]

Tony Bourdain. Broke this cook's heart. Mark and I felt so bad for Eric Ripert, who found him in Tony's hotel room in France.

Kurt Cobain. I lived in Austin, when he died, and was listening to the radio, on the way home from the grocery store. It was announced on the station I was listening to. I pulled over to cry and saw so many other cars doing the same.
Robin Williams. David Foster Wallace. No words, for the pain they suffered.

The Words of Jiwoon Hwang

I was shocked and saddened to hear about the death of antinatalist activist Jiwoon Hwang. With his tragic death, he became another martyr in the right to die movement. Though he is gone, his words live on through his books, letters, lectures, and articles. The world has so few decent people it...

[Hitakiri]

A lot of these were before my time, but they stuck with me.

Kurt Kobain
Ernest Hemingway
Sylvia Plath
Heath Ledger
Virginia Woolf
Vincent Van Gogh
Robin Williams
Chester Bennington

Artists, one and all. Actors, writers, poets, painters. "Tortured artist" is a phrase for a reason. Such breadth of imagination can be haunting. I've always loved writing myself.

Robin hits the hardest. Grew up with his movies, always made me laugh. Guy always seemed so full of life. He wasn't limited to comedy though. He played inspiration roles in Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society. I loved Worlds Greatest Dad as well. Broke my heart when I found out about his passing, and how it came to be.

Honorable mention to Poe. While not a suicide, it was a tragic death non-the-less. To die on the streets in squalor, coughing up blood. He had a beautiful mind, and his work is immortalized the world over. His poem's and stories have always been a comfort for me.

 

[Adamsnolife]

Caroline Flack. Went far too soon if it wasn't for the heavy media attention she was getting after an incident with her boyfriend

 

[Dying Alive 00]

Ian Curtis, Keith Flint, Alexander McQueen. And if we are including people who'd be dead by now anyway, perhaps Erwin Rommel

 

[Georg]

No one. I mean I don't met any of them irl so I don't know about their personality. Kurt Cobain was one of the biggest rockstars and I am sure he wouldn't give a fuck about me..

 

[absolomonisgone]

we dont know famous people what you see on tv news and image is what they want you to see some famous people are very evil and bad people outside cameras so you cannot miss people you dont know but think you know what you know is what you are supposed to see maybe they abuse and beat and mistreat their children employees parents brothers sisters and managers
