Finally got to finish this sketch...
I normally don’t do this, as in give a long personal explanation as of why drawing this was important but here it goes:
This Steven Universe Episode really got to me. As in like on a personal level. Lars’s death wasn’t blunt or sugar coated it, it was unexpected. People here on tumblr have already pointed out that we’d at least expect a character death as everyone seems to bounce back eventually. Not with Lars. And that’s how it can really happen. Sudden and without a warning. You don’t think things through and then -
I’ve went through this, with my best friend. My best friend on four legs a human can ever hope for. She was my everything and she didn’t get hurt sudden, just like Lars did, but she was critically insured. I fought over a month to get her to recover when finally, on the day I told everyone proud what process she had made and things were gonna work out, then everything went south. Within 24 hours a necrotic meat eating bacteria had set on her injury and my world came crushing down on me.
So when Steven can’t muster a word and only cries - a few people criticized for being not melodramatic enough - I felt him. It was the absolute same for me. I couldn’t comprehend what I was seeing yet the tears kept coming. It felt like an eternity before I broke out in loud cries in agony where Steven gets to recover since his tears bring Lars back to life.
I think that’s a good thing! It wasn’t rushed. It’s still sad, considering the circumstances. It gave Lars so much more depth in character and I really appreciate the Crewniverse for this.
Hope you enjoy! <3
