Just had a conversation with Lia's parents - our first time meeting. They're lovely people, I told them how many people commented showing support and they were taken aback, truly heartwarmed from it. They share the notion of keeping her smiles around, her essence alive. Keep it up, y'all <3

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say that I couldn't be happier to see all of the love, support, and sympathy being spread around on behalf of our beloved departed Lia. Over 500 of you commenting, ranging from those who knew her solely from her work, to those who had casual run-ins, to those who were close and closer. Not only that, but the stories told, experiences shared, artwork posted both newly created and legacy, they all serve to remember them in the light they gave to us all.

Keep those fond memories close. Keep your artworks saved. The harsh, crushing pain of loss will fade, and in it's wake will only the happiness, love, and sheer joy that she spread remain. It truly warms my heart to know she touched the lives of so many for the better, and that she will be remembered so fondly by a large part of our community. I doubt even she would have expected such a massive turnout. But she deserves it. All of it. She deserved the world.

She was also an inspiration for many of us - whether it was encouragement to try new things, positive reinforcement to properly express and be your true self, her seemingly bottomless well of drive for her work where the words "people pleaser" doesn't even scratch the surface. To follow in her example would be nigh insurmountable, yet we all can try our best. I know I will be.

And, on a more personal note, to me, she was the love of my life. The FUNNIEST person I had ever met. Immensely sweet, ever-present and just caring. Talking into the wee hours of the morning just chatting, unironically engaging in the "no you hang up" a handful of times. Enjoying games together, watching shows and movies together, and our one, magical IRL meetup for 10 wonderful days during FWA last year. The memories from that brief stint were some of the happiest I've had, and I'm beyond overjoyed that I was able to have them. To love, to hold, to personally tell them face-to-face how much they meant to me.

The next few days will hurt like hell. For many of us. If you feel like you are suffering, do reach out. Grief shared is a burden carried together. Thank you all for your kind words to me, to her friends, to her family, and of course, Lia herself. A close friend of ours shared something Lia said to them a couple years back, whilst consoling said friend about the loss of a loved one;

"I won't live life with a single regret. And when my time eventually comes, these same words will hopefully be the last ones I speak,

"I have lived a marvellous life." ".

And they did. They truly, truly did.
Love you eternally, Lia. Rest well, my sweetest doe.

To those of you that knew her, she's had a hell of a knack for being the social glue that held a lot of us together, and I've never met a kinder soul nor a more silver tongue. Inspired to many people out there to start on their passions and was never afraid to try new ones for herself!

With a heavy heart, I'm here to announce that @hookaloof.bsky.social , aka Lia (she/her/they/them), has passed away. They were at home, found unresponsive by a roommate this morning. Details will be kept private. They were the love of my life. A truly golden-hearted wonder. Love you, Lia.

Lia was the most dedicated person I've ever known. They were dedicated in their craft to an unbelievable extent, including relationships. Lia saw in me what I struggled to, and reminded me of who I can be whether I wanted to hear it in the moment or not. Thank you for everything, Lia. I love you.
