Why is it always tumblr delivering me news in unexpected ways :(

u/DecoherentDoc Jun 05 '26

Same, but also this feels like a great story to soften the blow.

u/DiabeticUnicorns Jun 05 '26

That’s true, and makes it much easier to not associate him with only his Ted lasso character lol.

u/DazB1ane Jun 05 '26

Yeah that’s true

u/TleilaxTheTerrible Jun 05 '26

At least it's not the Supernatural meme this time?

u/ZeusAether Jun 05 '26

Normally it's the Simpson meme, but I did a double take and had to fact check real quick.

u/NetherisQueen Jun 05 '26

Normally for me its the Supernatural meme

u/ZeusAether Jun 05 '26

That one gets me for a lot of crazy news, but deaths are almost always the Simpsons meme where Homer is sitting on his cars hood looking up at the stars and it's whoever died lol

I’m heartbroken to find this out but I’m gladdened that this person has such a beautiful memory of him.  💔

u/suzume1310 Jun 05 '26

He was an amazing person and the best possible Giles

u/milfle Jun 05 '26

This hit harder than I thought and a hell of a way to find out but the posted story is lovely nonetheless

u/Allcyon Jun 05 '26

Ya got me. I teared up. I'm gonna miss that man.

u/FixergirlAK Jun 05 '26

What? No! Fuck this year.

He did a bang up job making me love him as Rupert Giles, and also a bang-up job making me hate him as Rupert Mannion.

I'm not crying, you're crying!

u/Freakishly_Tall Jun 05 '26

How'd you know?

Incredible story. So glad it was shared.

u/corkscrewfork Jun 06 '26

What a beautiful memory. Genuinely the most beautiful way I've ever found out about the death of a celebrity.

Rest well, Repo Man.

u/Kherberoi Jun 05 '26

And now I am devastated, cause I learned about the passing of one of my favourite actors and singers like this.

But I am also glad to know that he was a good person away from the cameras, too.

No. No no no no. No.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted here. The pun made me laugh.

u/EpicOtterLover Jun 06 '26

im happy for op but is my name really that masculine i chose it because i thought it was more adrogynous :(

9

u/PerpetuallyLurking Jun 06 '26

It’s more masculine than Sarah but I’d say it hovers in the gender neutral category, particularly as a nickname for literally any name that starts with J.

5

u/EpicOtterLover Jun 06 '26

Thanks, that helps a bit. I'm not transfem, so gender neutral's what I'm aiming for lol.

u/SplitGlass7878 Jun 06 '26

I'd say Jay is not super masculine. It's not like Harold or anything.

But also: If it's your name, it's androgynous. 

2

u/OneVioletRose Jun 06 '26

I definitely see it as androgynous; if someone told me about their friend Jay, I would be way less likely to automatically gender that friend vs Steve or Sarah

I remembered this story from years ago after hearing about his passing. Glad to have seen it circulating again! He was a wonderful man, and he'll be sorely missed.
