On more related notes... Long post alert.
(insert GIF of cartoon character bawling their eyes out here)
I'm typing this in all black, a black dress and leggings.
I've been through too many deaths this year. First my dad's dad, then Barry Chuckle (not as sad, but still sad) and now this. I posted a Work In Progress of Sportacus, Mayor Meanswell, Ms Busybody and an OC; Robbie's big brother Richard, dressed for Robbie's funeral (Sportacus is in a black suit. Will you still recognise him?) with the caption "Why does losing Robbie Rotten feel like losing a family member?" I don't even know this man! I've never even asked him a question online! And yet I don't think I've felt this depressed since watching Jacksepticeye play Doki Doki Literature Club out of curiosity! (I admit, sometimes I can be too curious. Stopped about halfway through Episode 4) In all seriousness, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever feel cheerful and carefree again. I just remember seeing Robbie Rotten on TV. I must say, he is... was... a heroically admirable and darn good actor. There were times when I wondered "How can someone so famous be so pure-hearted?" (I don't want to be proven wrong, to be honest) times where I wanted to give both Stefan and Robbie a hug.
Not sure how he found out, but I did when a boy from my Japanese class posted "RIP Stefan Karl Stefansson" or something on our class group chat. A sick sort of spear shot through my heart. At some point, my arms were shaking. To which I replied "What?!" and then 4 GIFS of cartoons crying like there's no tomorrow. I thought it was some kind of joke, I just didn't want it to be true.
Google proved me otherwise.
When I got the news I felt tripped up, and hollowed out. Mum came up to check if I was okay that evening, having heard the news on I'm guessing Facebook, and reckoning I would be sad. She was right. It took me a long time to get to sleep that night.
In the space of less than 2 days I think I have experienced 3 stages of grief; Denial, Anger (cancer is a $%*!ing £@?*!) and now probably Depression.
Whether you like RWBY, (pronounced ruby) thought it went downhill after Volume 3 or even 2, or have never even heard of it, I feel like drawing attention to my signature. It is a quote from RWBY's creator, Monty Oum, who died in 2015 after reacting badly to a hospital procedure. In ways, I feel like this quote applies to everyone who worked on LazyTown, and motivates me sometimes.
