I was going to wait but after talking about it, I need a way to release my sadness.
Can we just take a moment to realise it's almost been a year since two parts of my (and many others) childhood died?
21st of August, 2018 Stefano Karl Stefansson died after a 2 year battle with bile duct cancer. He played Robbie Rotten in 2015's "Lazy Town" and was one of the biggest idols and influencers in my life. A year later and looking back on the photographs of him in that hospital bed, and I still want to cry.
27th of November, 2018 Stephen Hillenburg died after a battle with ALS. He was the creator of spongebob and another absolutely HUGE influence in my small girl years.
I don't know what I was getting at. I just. Wanted to pay tribute. It's an emotional time

ALS is so wicked. I watched as a childhood friend succumbed to it at age 18, and another good friend at age 27, and my mother-in-law at age 61. I also heard in February of an online friend I’ve RPd with through the oughties had succumbed to ALS/MMD. I created my Starlightdiva character in her honour. ALS/MND takes the body and leaves the mind inside to struggle to get out. I did that Ice-bucket challenge a few years back as a fundraiser, and am glad there has been strides made in combating such a terrible disease.
I grieve with you in your losses of such icons of your generation. I’m glad you shared this. I’m remembering all those I’ve known who have fought against ALS/MND & Cancer and have passed away.

I think Robbie Rotten's death is so much more personal to me since I had the privilege of meeting the man in person. We spent so long talking about the show and why I loved him so much, and we even have photos on my bedroom wall. I'm thinking thats why many people seem to think I'm overreacting.
The two diseases are truly horrible and the world would benefit without them. It's sad how there's hardly anything a lot of people can do. </3
