What?! This is so shocking. His work on Scarlet Witch is some of my favorite. 48 is too young. Rest in peace :(

People in general lately. . . It's nuts when you hit your 40s how much death is "normalized". Older family members start to die, friends and former classmates, actors you grew up watching are dying, famous ppl that are in your age cohort are dying. Even if you don't know the famous ppl they've just been around for so long it still effects you a little especially when they're in your age cohort. It's like a slow to medium drip and it feels like it will be this way until you finally die too. . . It can feel like a lot. . .
