I thought this was about the death of the channel, and then I thought Archie... I genuinely can't believe this... I was just thinking about her and how I hadn't seen her content recently because she's not so much on YouTube and now... I'm so sorry to her loved ones. I don't really know what all was happening in her life recently except a few bits and pieces, but I really had hoped that she could reforge the friendships she lost or get the closure she likely needed. I'm sorry for the loss and thank you to the family member or friend that was kind enough to let us know. Please send our love to Archie and the other birbs too... I am sure they will be lost.

Thank you for everything you’ve taught me, Alex. From warning me and the rest of your viewers to not get an ekkie in all your earlier videos, to learning how to care for my own Archie, you’ve been my first bird mum inspiration.🩷 the bird stays 🩷 rest easy Pretty Pastel Queen. You will be deeply misse

'From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity.' -Edvard Munch Alex, I hope you found eternity in pastel colored flowers. We love you. You continue to be a light in this world. Thank you for sharing it with us for all these years.

Thank you for posting on her behalf. I cannot imagine how difficult it is but we all appreciate the opportunity to pass on our thoughts to family and loved ones. And thank you Alex, wherever you may be, for sharing yourself with us. Shine bright pink star.

Whoever is currently editing / forming the video, please note that your work is incredibly appreciated. This must be so difficult. I still come back to this channel every so often in case my subscription didn't notify me. I know this is incredibly selfish of me but I feel like I'm holding on to her still. I know she is gone but I am still holding on.

This is a terrible tragedy. Irrespective of whether it was due to failing mental health, an accident or other health issues, I think we can all agree that 30 is far too young. Poor woman certainly had her battles, which she was generous enough to share with us. Her life seemed messy, complicated and difficult on many occasions, and none of us, her included, deserve that much pain. Neither did she deserve the often harsh scrutiny she incurred as a result of her opening the door on her life to us. She and her personal life, and those involved in it, deserve respect, especially now more than ever. If we can’t find empathy for her now, what does that say about us? She was so much more than her mental health. We also got to see her shine and sparkle. A highly intelligent and quick witted woman. I’m glad some of those videos continue to live on so that while we have a record of her facing much darkness, we also have a record of her humour, her analytical mind, her playfulness. Rest well, Alex. You deserve peace.

The fact that we just saw her on a live stream like 10 or so days ago and now she’s gone… I just can’t fathom this. She was a bright light to those of us who loved fashion. May she rest in peace

I was suddenly reminded of Alex tonight after not seeing her videos in a long time. I wondered how her channel was doing and checked in to see this. I am shocked and my sincerest condolences to her family, friends and birds. All I can say is her channel brought me much warmth and happiness during the pandemic and the world is a little less bright without her.

Was thinking about Alex tonight while working the graveshift at work, and came to see if the memorial video had been posted yet. I didn't faithfully watch her videos, but whenever I did I always enjoyed Alex's bubbly and positive personality. Even when she was facing challenges in life she always looked for the positives. I hope that you guys her family and friends are doing well and that you are able to put together the memorial video soon. Not for us, but for you.

I can still hear her cheerful voice in the back of my mind, assertively saying that the bird stays. It feels strange to admit the level to which her passing has affected me, I never knew her and hadn’t watched her videos in a few years but she reminded me of my big sister and I always wanted the best for her. Now she’s gone and it feels like a piece of me is gone too. Rest peacefully, Pretty Pastel Please

I hope her parents are okay , and the people who loved her ❤

I've been checking here and online daily for an update and some kind of closure- I'm not sure why it's bothering me so much. I didn't know Alex personally, only from YouTube and Twitch. Alex got me through university and lockdown and gave me something to look forward to watching. She inspired me to dress up kawaii (we are a similar age). Her struggles I could definitely relate to. I felt that I could always tell when she was struggling, I know what putting on a smile and a show looks like. To be honest it doesn't feel real! I can only imagine the pain which her family and loved ones- even those who distanced themselves from her are going through right now. She is missed and will always be, thank you Alex for bringing so much joy.

I’ve been thinking about Alex more often recently. I don’t know why but I’ll just get sad thinking of the life journey I saw her go on, learning about her life, and knowing it’s been cut short. She had so much compassion and love and for her to suddenly pass by sheer bad luck is really hard to grapple with

I've been quietly processing this all day. I keep getting waves of sadness. The picture used is such a pretty photo of Alex, and although she has since said that her pretty pastel please days weren't the REAL her, that is how I will remember her - beautiful, radiant, and ofcourse - with Archie 💚 x

I’m just now learning this, truly so sad to lose someone so young and precious. Praying for comfort for all those who were close to her and loved her dearly. 💗

I'm still can't comprehend this. Alex was such a bright star and kind person. I love to put her videos on and binge them or have them in the background. My heart goes out to her friends and family. I know she is soaring in the sky like all of her bird friends. She will be very missed. 💗
