Eris was the most badass and cool person I ever met. She one day just showed up in the hackspace and later that same day we ended up cuddling on the couch. And from that day on we were friends.
She was the most cat catgirl I've ever known, and that sais a lot, from jumping from couch to couch in the hackspace to always wearing her cat ears (and doing DIY research on getting permanent cat ears, including talking to actual like biotech researchers about how to do that), and also just. being really cuddly sometimes.
Idk if i ever told her but I kinda always admired her. And I certainly miss her now. I miss cuddling her, discussing with her about random bullshit even though our opinions clash due to our completely different opinions, kissing her and making out with her, listening to her infodumps and her adorable cat noises, and hell, just looking at her.
One day after Easterhegg 2025, she ended her own life. On the 22. of april 2025.
A few days later, I was informed of her death while visiting the hackspace before going to watch I Saw the TV Glow with a friend, and after the movie ended, we went outside and I broke down in its arms.
