poeraven:castorochiaro:nerdloveandlolz:embryhallowed:boydoicry:seriously tearing up at 2am over steve irwinsuch an incredible person who really cherished animals, his death will always hurt my heart. alwaysgets bitten on the neck by a snake.“Can you get a close-in on this?”I will never not love this man with all my heart.So gentle. Obviously I didn’t know him in person but the way he didn’t react in anger here seems to show a very kind spirit. I wish people wouldn’t joke about how he died. People wouldn’t joke about a firefighter who died in a fire. Steve was all about showing us that even dangerous animals deserve our admiration, respect, and even a sort of affection, and that was something worth doing, even if he seemed goofy and silly sometimes.I wanted to BE this man as a kid. I did. The world was so scary and he was always so excited about it all, I wanted to be excited too. I hate jokes about his death and how people talk about him like he was crazy. He was alive. He loved every single day he was on this planet and if that’s something people think is worth ridicule, then that just makes me feel sorry for them.Steve Irwin was crazy, but he was the awesome kind of crazy. The kind of crazy that looks at a crocodile or venomous snake or a huge hairy tarantula and says “I am going to love the shit out of you because you’re pretty cool, and people need to see that.” -- source link
