Tragic-ish Death of Limeybean
From Fandom wank wiki
Contents |
Introduction
It was a sad, sad tale. Limeybean suffered from completely incurable and untreatable congenital tuberculosis (all her father's fault). She had but six months to live.
(Did we mention she lived in the UK? First-world country and home of socialized medicine?)
Woe, for her twin brother had died of tuberculosis at birth. Again, woe.
After inspiring many with her brave perseverence in the wake of this horrific disease (which was totally in no way contagious), she finally expired.
Rest in peace, Limeybean.
But, wait!
Before her tragic death of noncontagious but totally untreatable tuberculosis, Limeybean founded the ljsecret LiveJournal community. Turns out Limeybean had secrets of her own.
Just little, tiny secrets-- like she never had tuberculosis, and she wasn't dead.
Many of her friends mourned her untimely passing, but a few were suspicious. They researched her supposed condition, finding that it was exceedingly unlikely, and, by matching IPs, they discovered she was still reading LiveJournal. When Snellios posted detailed evidence, Limeybean miraculously returned from the dead to post her confession.
Her pseuicide was meant to be inspirational, just something to show other people they really didn't have it so bad. And it was all just a test, anyway... they'd passed!
Yes, many were inspired by Limeybean. You, too, may draw inspiration from the dramatic reading of her confession.[1]
Though she had declared she intended to leave her confession public, after five pages worth of comments -- most from those who were oddly unsympathetic to Limeybean's laudable goals -- she locked the post and then deleted her journal. No problem. Fandom Wank was ready with screencaps.

Quotes
- "All apologies.
Well done.
:)" -- The first three lines in Limeybean's confession, quoted in the Wank Report - "After realising the effect my bravery in my illness had on people, I then used it as a vehicle to try and get some of the idiot emo kids on LJ to buck up and realise they don't really have it all that bad. How much hope can you see reflected on the comments left on my entries, or in ones about me? So the lie was worth something, wasn't it? How bad is a lie if it helps?" -- Limeybean's confession
- "My illness? I wasn't stupid. I'm NOT stupid. I picked one that was obviously fake so that eventually this would happen." -- Limeybean's confession
- An anonymouse: "This would be laughable if it wasn't so horrible. She had PICTURES of herself DEAD? I mean, even if they were fake, that's a little more than, 'telling a lie to teach those damn emo kids a lesson.'
I'm so glad her journal's deleted. Fucking bitch."
Limeybean: "Going to watch myself get shouted down for this but wtf no I didn't. I just 'died' and that was it, except for tying up loose ends. Gross."
Singe: "Yeah, you had to draw a line somewhere!" [2] - "I did genuinely care about you guys and it killed me to lie to you
Er, so to speak." -- tinybubbles [3] - "limeybean: *dies*
limeybean's friends: OMG, I can't believe it, what a tragedy. *weep* *rend garments* *sob*
limeybean: Good news! I'm actually alive!
limeybean's friends: You fucking bitch! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD.
I know it's all about the lying and this person is a real fucktard for doing what she did, but this kind of reaction always cracks my shit up." -- gmth [4]
