So

[caitri]

I was going to post yesterday thanking folks for their kind birthday wishes, especially avictoriangirl, browngirl, and fritzfics! And then I heard about Anton Yelchin's untimely death, and I've just been incredibly sad since. He was young and brilliant and gone too soon, and somehow it's even WORSE because his death could and should have been preventable--io9 posted that his car model was among those listed in a recall in April for the exact rolling-away thing. Just. What a fucking waste. But all the memorials have been kind and lovely. Star Trek fans pride ourselves on being a family, and this is one of those times when it seems like we can fucking act like it. So.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear about his death yesterday. I still can't believe it's true. :( *snuggles you*

I did not know that about his car model. That just makes this sad weight seem even heavier.

He was young and brilliant and loved by so many. Watching Star Trek Beyond wil definitely be bittersweet.

It's so freaking sad. Like, I almost kind of dread going to the movie now? I just have too many feels, for Anton and for the franchise generally. :(
