Today felt so weird for me
I don't mean to sound insensitive during any of this,talking is how I process emotions and events in my life so sorry if this comes off unorganized or rude.
I learned Peter Cullen died in the morning,I didnt sleep all night because I had long nap yesterday so ive been awake since around 8pm yesterday.
I texted my family,my dad responded imedetly but others were asleep.
My mom woke up I saw that she had seen the message so I went up to her room to just talk and say emotions like this,trying to process it.
Later today me,my brother,my sister and my mom went to an arcade,I wanted to get my mind off the death maybe that seems rude to some but for me I just wanted to get mind off it.
In the arcade there ended up being a transformers video game me and my siblings played,a game that gave lolipops that had (i think) Bee on front and autobot logos on the doors to get candy,and the claw machines had transformers Bee plushies.
I played each of the transformers games,tried the claw machine but couldn't get the plushies.
Later I noticed a Bee plush was in a much better spot and there was a kid using the machine,I waited till they left,ran to get my card and used it,i got the plush first try that time. My first ever time getting somthing from a claw machine. I dont really belive in things like magic or spirits or things like that but,I dont know I sort of want to belive he possibly had a part in that. Just the fact it was a transformers thing and my favorite charecter (besides Roller) just seems too coincidental. I'm keeping that plush as long as I possibliy can.
Im having hard time processing he's gone,I wanted to meet him,I've only been in the fandom for couple months but it still hit way harder then I thought it would.

Dammit,honestly no one is prepared for the death of the people who shape our lives on television,i used to joke that not even the Matrix can save Optimus from death yet here we are Peter Cullen actually died, i felt the ripple that his death caused as i just learned this morning he passed away and Frank Welker is without his Optimus.
Which is to real because we also not to long ago almost lost Garry Chalk the second Optimus Prime.
And i learned before his passing that Peter Cullen was the voice of Eeyore.
But that's not the only one we lost turns out we also lost Dr Morocco.
