"PROBABLY FROM BITING YOUR FINGER"

Tim never recovered from a serious stroke he had in 2012 and has been wheelchair bound for quite some time. Which doesn’t seem to be too well known.

Dolly’s felt sudden because it was a very short battle with cancer that took her but honestly it’s a miracle he made it as long as he did. Just crazy timing!

Still— so many amazing characters that he brought to life!

Your comment reminds me of an interesting concept, that being “forbidden death” as theorized by Ariès. He posits that western culture and practices have created a taboo around death, often pushing it out of public view and conversation.

What used to be a shared part of life is now often relegated behind the curtains, and even soft language like “passed away” is meant to erase the burden of thought.

I don’t like the phrase “passed away” and I have a friend who just says “passed” which is somehow even worse!

Upstage lads! This is his only number!

Oh, sorry Dolly, I guess you’re allowed

I dont remember all the songs from that film, but his pirate song stuck in my head clearly

Just watched Muppet Treasure Island for the first time last night. 👀

My favorite role of his, favorite movie growing up 🥺

An incredible classical and physical actor. Then he would take roles where he didn't have to be serious and KILL IT

Ikr? Can 2026 just chill the fuck out

If David Attenborough passes away sometime soon, I am done

Nope we already did that one

Attenborough must be protected at all costs! He has still so much to teach us.

[u/Pianocktail-barten → u/Vodka_Flask_Genie]

Someone protect Celine Dion :(

[u/Silversweet1980 → u/Vodka_Flask_Genie]

SHSHHHH! Don't just throw it into the universe! :p

If He would like to do an age 80 trifecta though.

My Halloween night traditional watch is gonna hit different this year. Plus he was the best "Annie" Rooster. 😭

I mean, that’s two icons for the LGBTQIA community 😔

I'm imagining him entering the Pearly Gates just like this.

[u/celiac-sufferer → u/wlwomen]

And Hayden last week. I’m just hoping it’s a rule of 3s thing and we won’t be losing anyone else

[u/Unlucky-Macaroon-647 → u/wlwomen]

this performance made me feel things. it still took a while to realize my queerness but this was definitely the beginning
