It’s fine if you want to honor those that died in that terrible incident, but this is NOT how to do it.

Drako:  
So that’s 26 all together?  
Okay then
 
You see, you guys have a lot to learn about death.  
It is not the end, merely the beginning.  
I’ve been there, i know how it works.
 
Don’t mourn for those who die, they no longer suffer. Instead consider the families of those who’ve lost the ones they love.
 
Once someone is dead there is little that can be done about about it. And once you are dead you no longer care for being alive.
 
But the dead and the living still care for each other from two different worlds. And although there’s nothing you mortals can do to help the dead cope with the grief of losing their loved ones to life. You can help those who still live cope with their loss.
 
Don’t feel sorry for the missed opportunities of the dead. The life they could’ve lived. Time heals everything. They recover. They get used to being dead.
 
The families of those who’ve lost a loved one are the one’s who suffer. Trust me. I know.
 
sigh  
If only it were a lot easier to get the message through. There are many phoney mediums and psychics.
 
When you die you look at living and see them suffer. It’s heart-breaking to see the ones you love so upset. And worse, there’s nothing you can do to help them.
 
A dead person never misses their life but they miss their loved ones.
 
Being dead is like living in a holographic projection. You can see and hear your family like they are really there but they don’t see or hear you.
 
And dead or alive there are 2 things you miss the most. Touch and smell.
 
You never realize how important it is to hold your loved ones until you can’t.
 
I see so many people take what they have for granted. Their life, their love, their family and friends.
 
You can’t help everyone in the world, no matter how hard you try. But you can do what you can to make this world a better place and that means something.
 
Helping people cope with loss is a valuable thing. When you’re dead you no longer want your loved ones all to yourself. You don’t even want people to honor your memory.
 
The only thing you care about is that the people you care about are happy.
 
So live your life. Stop holding onto the dead. Thy would want you to be happy.

Also, the description makes this ten times worse than this already is.

I KNOW THAT. I just………really wish people would not ponify it. I mean, show some restraint, for fuck’s sake.

It’s related to a school shotting that happened a few days ago, 20 kids died

1978-2012 EVER FORGET

To be fair, the artist is expressing his grief by “lighting” a candle. Honestly, seems like a poor way to express grief, but whatever helps you cope.
 
Honestly, would you rather see this or a ponified version of the actual shooting with a gun pointed at Cheerilee and the CMC hiding behind her? Seems a lot worse to me.

…How’s about we not ponify this? Ever.

it is, and yeah, let´s not.

Yeah, let’s not ponify this…

Please tell me this isn’t related to what I think it’s related to….

and that´s why we stopped giving guns to everyone.
