Listen to My Story...

07.28.1941 - 08.26.2026 Another great one passed us by. Peter Cullen, the legendary voice of Optimus Prime, passed away. 2026 is something else... keeps taking away legends. I'm not the biggest Transformers fan, but Transformers is part of my childhood. I remember watching the show as a kid, and Optimus Prime himself is so iconic that the Autobot followed me through the years. And while I've always been more on the Beast Wars side, Optimus Prime was the core of Optimus Primal

I am saddened to say that another talent from the DiD community passed away just recently. Unlike other posts with this kind of tone, I don't have any information on actual Birthday and the time of passing. Honestly, just read these: His Last Post Final Update It's pretty sad, especially when I pretty much had little to no contact with a lot of online folks lately. We didn't talk regularly or anything like that but we did have moments of conversation where we clicked. The las

A legend. We lost a legend—a man who was a huge part of my childhood. The man was in Coming to America, Best of the Best, Star Wars, Lion King... to name a few. But I definitely will remember him the best as Coach Couzo and Mufasa. The man passed away yesterday and the news devastated me. Lion King is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies (yes, that's right). I remember watching it over and over again. I had the major feels during Mufasa's death and while Mufasa's message

04.05.55 - 03.01.24 Dragonball. Chrono Trigger. That's all that's needed to be said, right? Akira Toriyama was worth more than those two franchises I mentioned. I can only speak about his accomplishments within the fandom--which, on its own is no small feat. Just the mention of Dragonball alone--the anime that inspired many, ME included. Who can say that they don't know Dragonball? Son Goku? The Super Saiyajin saga? The blonde transformation, the loud screaming and charging u

A great person, Lathiira, passed away on June 9, 2023. I can't necessarily say a lot but the community is grieving. He touched many lives and his creativity helped sparked many. He was also quite giving and he collaborated and supported not only myself but many others within the group. This post will focus on remembering all the good things he has done for the #DiD community through his OCs, commissions, collaborations, and his well-crafted DiD-Fics. Please join me in remembe

09.04.73 - 11.20.22 Another sad day on November. Jason David Frank... Tommy Oliver aka the Original 6th Ranger (Green/White Ranger when I used to watch it religiously) had died. The circumstance are troubling, but I'm going to pay my respects to someone who meant a whole lot to my childhood, and to many others. by: CarlosDattoliArt While he contributed to the Power Rangers community in more ways that one, I will always treasure his times as Green and White Ranger. The days w

11.30.55 - 11.10.22 A sad day. The voice of Batman for the past two decades passed away. It's no secret that I consider the Batman The Animated Series as one of the all-time greats. It definitely helped my fandom in more ways than one and to have this guy lead the way and then the same icon moving on to voice the Dark Knight in so many other media--well, no doubt that today is definitely a somber day. Not only was he a great voice of Batman, but based on the many opinions an

5.5.27 - 07.30.22 Another tragic loss in 2022. This time Pat Carroll, the voice to the (in)famous antagonist of the Little Mermaid walks the steps to the higher grounds above. Definitely a loss, but a with a legacy left like that, a fan can only celebrate. My condolence to her family and everyone close to her. This fortunate soul will forever honor the voice you gave Ursula for the rest of my years. Thank you. See You Next Time....

11/1966 - 09/2021 Sad tidings as a person who helped make FFXIV (Heavensward to be exact) the legend that it is passed away. Stephen Critchlow, the voice of Edmont de Fortempts. Sad, sad day for the game is definitely a source of happiness for me. This man helped make that possible because his character had some pivotal emotional moments. I offer my condolence to his family, his friends, and may the coming days of grief be as bearable as it can be. A'rlen and a few other WoLs

11.24.1946 - 05.24.2021 Before there was Frozen, Rapunzel, or Brave, there was the 2D era of Disney...there was the Golden Age, and with that, there was the Little Mermaid. That was my first introduction to Disney and it was definitely a grand welcome to what would be one of the most influential thing in my life. And part of the special thing that really made me part of the world is Sebastian, the crab who was always there for Ariel. What would the Little Mermaid be without S

08.25.1930 - 10.31.2020 Here we are with another one of these. 2020. Mr. Connery is not the actor that I would say I am the biggest fan of, however, I will say that the movies he did have that I watched, I terribly enjoyed. He had that voice, that presence, and the very classy look to him that would have made him flexible for any roles that he was in. His role as James Bond is probably one of his iconic roles--he was the first James Bond as far as I know, and even though most

07.20.1938 - 09.10.2020 2020 ain't done. Man, what a classic actress to lose. I may not let it be known here, but for a bit, I was watching Game of Thrones. I fell off before the final seasons, but I will say that the Tyrells had some of the best characters. More notably, Margery Tyrell and of course, Olenna Tyrell who was played by the late Diana Rigg. I really enjoyed her portrayal of that character. Full of sass and wisdom. And of course, she played Emma Peel in "The Aveng

02.23.1958 - 08.31.2020 Oh, 2020. You are one of those years, aren't you? Well, Norm Spencer, the voice of Cyclops through the animated series and all the Capcom related games passed away yesterday. I'm not here to say that he is someone that I have followed, but I will say that the animated series Cyclops was a huge part of my childhood. The X-Men animated series was also a huge gateway to my Marvel fandom. Needless to say, the man played a part, small in fraction, but he di

11.29.1976 - 08.28.20 Chadwick Boseman passed away yesterday. This was really a shock. Since 2016, he was sick with Cancer and throughout his role as Black Panther (and other roles), he was battling it while entertaining us. He played his role well and he made Black Panther a household character. He did a lot of humanitarian things like visit children at St. Judes to give them inspirations; that's while he was battling his own sickness. He was a stand-up guy. My heart goes ou

Rest in Peace 02/07/2019 Oreo was the model for Rocket Raccoon of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Hard to imagine a world where a character like Rocket Raccoon isn't a household name these days and that popular CGI face has a model. The little guy passed away some few hours ago. This is my tribute to him. May you rest in peace. See You Next Time.

12.28.1922 - 11.12.2018 Stan Lee passed away today. He needs very little introduction considering that he is the face of Marvel in some ways. I won't get into the controversy, but needless to say, he is and always will be the ONE of the biggest inspiration for every True Believers out there. During the times when the Avengers (Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor) were not juggernauts of the Movie Industry, Spider-Man was his biggest creation. And despite the fact that Shellhe

I'm a little late with this news and I'm even more late for my respect and tribute to the woman that was the other half of the responsibility for creating my favorite Marvel character. Marie Severin co-created the costume for Spider-Woman. Needless to say, I owe a lot to Marie; a respect I was so oblivious to for so long that sometimes, it feels as if I disappointed my "love" for the character. Regardless, at least I know that I have supported Marie's contribution by continui

Truly was an amazing influence to one of my biggest fandom. #SpiderMan may have been handled by many writers and artists but one can never forget one of the faces that helped create this wall crawler. Thank you. And I know I'm late... but, you know, to give condolence, praise, and honoring one's memory is never too late. Your memory will always be remembered. See You Next Time.
