Such shocking and saddening news. He was truly one of the greats. It's so tragic he decided to leave us. While I sincerely hope he's found the peace he craved, my heart goes out to his family and friends.
My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill. Jesus!
I always felt with Robin Williams that his hyper-manic style was SUCH A BRAVE ATTEMPT to drown out much darker voices in his head. He seemed only ever himself when performing comedy (I don't include a lot of his acting accomplishments) and yet, that can't have been the case.
Bruce, Belushi, Hancock, Hedberg, Williams (Kenneth), Williams (Robin)... And too many more... RIP all.
Comedy's a dangerous game.

Robin Williams' passing is a reminder that those who make us laugh the most are usually fighting the biggest demons.
Rest in peace, Robin Williams. You will be missed.
Rawr, I'm a dinosaur. :3
(Check out my stories, babies xox)
Am saddened with the news, as he brought such humor and good feeling to all. Sorry he could not see himself in the mirror in a better light.
He will be at peace with himself now
Very sad. Heart goes out to him.
Someone has to be the Villain
It is a great tragedy that the world lost such a brilliant and hilarious mind.
It goes without saying, he was my favourite comedian. But he was so much more than a just a comedian.
He made me laugh when I didn't want to laugh.
He made me smile when I didn't want to smile.
He brought me joy when I couldn't find my own.
And he made me cry... With laughter.
SHAZBOT!
Such sad news, I hope it helps others battling depression to seek help.
The one movie I think about first when I hear or read Robin Williams's name isn't a funny one. It's the Dead Poet's Society.
It's a movie that has touched me very deeply and changed my outlook on life. In a way, it is tragically symbolic that what - to me - is his best performance is a movie that ends on the note that not all endings are happy ones. Still, the closing metaphor is that the things we do can leave footprints and change people for the better, and can still continue on after we leave.
Thank you, Robin Williams, for making us laugh and cry and question our black-and-white views on the world to Good Morning, Vietnam. Thank you for making us think about picking our battles and helping us realize that we're all vulnerable and creative individuals to Dead Poet's Society. Thank you for making us laugh in all your comical roles, and thank you for making us reflect on the treasure of time with people we love to Awakenings.
This news was exceptionally depressing. He is just a beautiful soul. Smiles and laughter can hide a lot of darkness. May he rest in peace - he'll be sorely missed.
RIP. I didn't see many of his movies but I loved Mrs Doubtfire. I'm so sorry that he was unhappy. Somehow I feel bad that the world only really thinks of him now that he's dead but I guess that's life for you.
I'm so heartbroken. My favorite movie of his is centennial man.
...anyone care to watch Good Morning Vietnam in rememberance?
