2024, for me, has been a slow chain of people who I never personally knew, but whose work I respected and admired, passing away. Donald Sutherland, Willie Mays, Johnny Gaudreau, even a few members of the furry community like Scott “Scoot” Henson and Sean “Dragoneer” Piche. Unfortunately, the chain refuses to stop tugging.

I have recently been informed from a journal by  Cheshire_Cat_Master that  SpottedSqueak, also known as Fomo and Forrest, has passed away. I… really don’t know what to say here. It just feels surreal seeing someone who I so casually acknowledged as a part of the vore community gone. I’ve never taken it lightly seeing someone I think is going to be around for a long time suddenly leave.

I’m not a strong man. I’m weak, I’m pathetic, I’m insecure, and I’m terrified of the idea that myself and everyone I know is going to genuinely die someday. I’ll try and move forward the best I can, but the shape left by a bygone person will still be there, their lack of presence impossible not to acknowledge. So I just want to say…

Fomo…

I know I never even talked to you. I feel like I should’ve, you seemed like a nice person. But even though you weren’t my favorite vore artist, I did like a lot of your stuff. I especially loved your wuff Forrest, he was so fun. I’ve always found it to be a surreal, sobering experience going through FA accounts with the little infinity symbol next to the username, and I cannot put into words how discomforting it is to see an artist who’s work I saw frequently with one of those symbols. But… I hope you can find peace and comfort, wherever you may be now.

Rest in Peace,  SpottedSqueak.

Say hi to some of the other furries we lost.
