One of the most inspirational figures to the world of fantasy, comedy and general awesomeness, Terry Pratchett, the creator of Discworl, has passed away today. It was announced here.
I very much doubt there is anything I can say that is fitting for an occasion like this, but nonetheless... Farewell, PTerry. *holy horns* You will be missed.
Excuse me while I go and cry for a very long time. -

I'm just now rereading the Discworld series and it's just so brilliant.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends. -

I hope your portrayal of DEATH was right on the mark.

I loved Terry Pratchett so much and there is so much about Discworld that follows me around in everything that I do. I remember so vividly the first Discworld book I ever read. It was my best friend's copy of "Wee Free Men". And I looked up to see the final book that Pratchett wrote and it was another Tiffany Aching book and I'm actually crying right now. Because that entire series means everything to me.

First thing tomorrow, I'm raiding the library. It's about time I finished Discworld, and I guess there's really no better way to honor him.

Numbness, I suppose, only on an emotional level. Of course I'll get over it and move on, much as I always do with death, but losing two idols in close proximity has done a number to me. Not just me I suppose, as obviously losing Sir Terry has had an effect on not just myself or the community here, but the world at large. Hopefully, everyone affected will find something to comfort them through their emotional distress, and will come out mostly unharmed, or inspired even.
