More from Alexandros
I've sat here for far too long, between bouts of distracting myself, trying to think of something to say. But I'm still as stunned to a degree as I was when I first heard the news. What do I say about someone that I'd known for almost half of my life? What can I possibly say that could encapsulate the personality of a troubled, but loving, person? The more I sit here thinking on it, the more I realize there is no right way to go about it, so instead I decided to just write from the heart. No 'script', no repetitive editing. Just raw honesty.
I'd known Kiju for the better part of 15 years and we had been together in some form for about 12 of those, with it having been 13 as of a week ago. Sadly, he never made it to that thirteen year. He had been battling with depression his whole life, as well as a slew of other issues, but to me, the issues didn't make him who he was. They merely showed how resilient he was to having been dealt an unfair hand in life, and while in the end those inner demons won out, it wasn't who he was. He was loving, he was kind - if at times possessing of a sharp tongue - and he was loyal, if quiet. He had a passion for cooking and for animals, he loved SciFi and because of him, I like equines.
He started in this fandom as a coyote and ended up being a unicorn and frankly, both fit him. He always saw himself as an outsider, but anyone who knew him saw him as unique in his own way. Elusive and hard to find like a unicorn, certainly; and shy and quiet. But if you got under that shell, there was something interesting, even if he rarely saw it himself. He had simple tastes, preferring chicken and basic cuts of meat over anything fancy, and he was never one for dressing up, but he carried himself well among others, even if he could be an absolute goof - a fan of all things puns, even ones that made me groan at how horrible they were.
He was a complicated person, certainly, but nevertheless, I loved him and he was my best friend to boot. Without a doubt he touched more hearts than he knew, and I only wish he could have seen his worth to all of us more than he did.
You'll be missed, and loved, Kiju. Goodbye, and I hope you are at ease now.
The art, as well, was done by
electronbird, who did better than I could have expected and with that added, personal touch of having known him. Thank you again Elly.

What a lovely piece of art. ❤️
Throughout the years I've spent many of days and nights with you, Crash, and Kiju, and I will always think fondly and now longingly of those times. I deeply regret that it stopped happening for the past few years because I was so distracted with life. I lost my opportunities to talk with Kiju again. I do have plenty of memories, and I'll cherish them and take comfort from that. Rest well, Kiju. My condolences, Alex. I'll be around when you need anything.
