my best friend Giancarlo DiTrapano, brainchild of @TYRANTBOOKS passed away on Tuesday. Gian was the brother I always wanted, my platonic soulmate, he loved me unconditionally, and a hole has been ripped in me that can never be repaired.  Words fail I love you so so somuch Gian

Gian refused my countless offers to smoke DMT despite his love of acid because he was genuinely terrified that he’d encounter Joe Rogan while high
