Forums » Smalltalk » RIP Robin Williams

I'm really shocked and very, very sad to just hear that Robin Williams passed away. He was one of my favorite comedians and actors. Out of all the celebrities I'd have expected to pass away so soon, he was probably the last one on my list. I'm usually quite indifferent to celebrity deaths, but this man has made me laugh so much since my early childhood and impressed me with his talents throughout my life that I'm not sure what to say now. I'm just sad.

I hope he found peace.

God now I'm so sad...

My brother texted, my best friend texted, and my grandma called to tell us. I am very sad. RIP, and my prayers with the family. This is a hard time for them.

His movies made me smile during some terrible times. The world has lost a little laughter... what a dark day.

I've been sitting on my kitchen floor, bawling, for the last 30 minutes. Many of his movies got me through some very dark times, and it's just devastating.

Prayers and thoughts to his friends and family during this undoubtedly excruciating time.

I'm still in shock... I can't believe he's gone.

I guess it's time to break out the movies he was in and have a marathon. I'm thinking of starting with Aladdin.

He's been battling issues for a long time. It's a shame it ended up like this.

I think Robin Williams is the only actor who can lay claim to not being terrible in one way or another. His jokes and comedy wasn't made at the expense of others, and was instead made to make everyone happy. We've truly lost a great soul.

RIP My Captain.

Very sad news. I'd hoped it was one of those hoaxes but it soon became clear it wasn't.

Grew up watching many of his films and now I really find myself wanting to watch Jumanji again.

My first thought was too hope it was a hoax, too.

This is some very sad and unexpected news. I only just heard the news and I'm finding it difficult to believe it is true, unfortunately it is true.

At least he is in a better place with people who will continue to love and support him. God be with you till we meet again Mr. Williams.



God be with you till we meet again...

It didn't really hit home today until I was at the dinner table with my parents, and they were reminiscing about Mork & Mindy, his older movies, his standup, what parts of his life they knew--all the things they were old enough to know and remember, but I wasn't quite old enough myself to be acquainted with, even though I was already familiar with quite a bit of his work and life from my own lifetime. That was already kind of a loss in itself, and it served as a hurting catalyst for the fact that he died today.

Did you also know he was a huge Legend of Zelda fan? Named his daughter after the princess. Ach, my heart...

...I'm not very good at emotional stuff, so, I guess I'll just stop myself there. <:C Requiescat in pace, Mr. Williams.

Oh, god. Robin Williams.
I was editing the profile for one of my characters, when my mom came in, crying. She told me that he died in the last hours. I yelled at her and denied it. I was crying now. I googled Robin Williams so many times.

It's weird. I keep feeling like it's a nightmare, like I need to wake up and find that Robin is okay.

But I'll never wake up.


I hate the death hoaxes.

'Robin Williams died after filming a movie! True faxs!'

People laugh.

'Robin Williams dead, August 11'

They still laugh, because they don't know that it's a hoax!!!

*cries* but what about Flubber :'(

I saw this earlier on the news.. He was one of the actors I grew up with and loved and finding out such sad news is horrible.

My god, that's just awful, I literally can't find the words to express my feelings about this. RIP indeed.

It's pretty terrible. For someone who gave so much to the world, to be so unhappy. Hopefully he's found peace now, that's all we can hope.

I played the three wishes song from the first Aladdin on repeat for hours today crying softly whispering "for mother Russia" to myself every time the song ended and before it started again.

I had a good long cry last night with my sister and good friends, we lost a very funny, talented and kind person that the world had given to us.

It is very unfortunate that the man who did everything he could to make us smile had trouble smiling on his own. I hope whoever/whatever has his soul takes very good care of it..
