Back here on GL after many months after hearing the news. Rest in peace Robbie.

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

Also, another sad thing about Stefan's death is that my dad's birthday is today, so everyday my dad turns another year older for now on, I'll always remember Stefan Karl Stefansson, A.K.A. Robbie Rotten dying on this day... :(

On unrelated notes, Happy Birthday PKMNMasterClara's dad... I lost my grandad to prostate cancer last winter on my childhood friend's birthday so I think I might know what it feels like.

On more related notes... Long post alert.

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.

Sorry to hear that, I also lost my Grandad to prostate cancer

Barry Chuckle (not as sad, but still sad)

Sad to me, the Chuckle Brothers were a wholesome part of my childhood.

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

This man lead me to meeting my husband, notoriousmdc. Without Stefan, I would have never came here 11 years ago,. I never would have stayed up all night chatting with him in IRC and AIM. I have a lot to be thankful to him for, and without him, my life would have gone a very different course. Not a good one, trust me.

Thanks for saying "Happy Birthday" to my dad, even though that was yesterday. At least he's not dead... yet.

Rest In Piece our beloved Stefan Karl. We are being tested and tried... We will never forget the great memories you made for us.

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

Rest in peace, Stefán. You were the Number One Master of Disguise to all of us.

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

May he rest in peace. Stefan Karl was a great guy who loved making people laugh. He was a really caring person, and I'm going to miss him. :(

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

We all knew it, but still is very painful. Please, let me express myself in my own language in order to say what I really feel now:

En ocasiones es muy difícil tratar de expresar con palabras lo que se siente por dentro, especialmente cuando se trata de la temprana partida de alguien que marcó tu vida en alguna medida.

Este es el caso de Stefán Karl, quien la vida le fue corta para poder plasmar todo ese inmenso talento que llevaba por dentro pero que sin embargo, con lo poco que nos dejó, nos mostró mucho de su arte, de su alma y de todo ese amor que era capaz de reflejar en lo que hacía.

Nos vas a hacer mucha falta Stefán, en especial, en este mundo tan necesitado de gente como tú.

Si me lo permiten, así quisiera recordarlo: entre aquello que más amaba (if you allow me, I'd like to remember him this way: between what he loved the most):



Que Dios te bediga Stefán.

[Lonelynumber1]

:(

I can't believe that he's really gone.

It's so nice to see everyone gathering to pay tribute and thanks here.

On a possibly irrelevant note, Glanni's Girl, that was a sweet reply. Thank you. I'm sorry about your grandad too.

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

Unnur Eggertsdóttir, who played the Icelandic Stephanie since 2010 until a few years ago, shared this post about Stefan in Icelandic:


- - - Updated - - -

And Dyri as well:
"Elsku Stefan Karl,

Alltaf tekst þér að stela sviðinu. Í þetta sinn með dramatískum hætti eins og þér einum er lagið.

Þegar ég fyrst labbaði inn í Latabæ 2006 þekkti ég engan í stúdíóinu og væntingarnar til þess sem ég átti að gera voru óraunhæfar og erfitt að segja nei þegar fullt stúdíó af hæfu fólki á launum beið eftir hoppum og stökkum frá manni.

Þú kenndir mér að skemmta, vera stór á sviðinu og standa fastur á mínu.

Þú varst hreinskilinn og umhyggjusamur.

Það var á sama tíma svakalega gaman og hræðilega stressandi að vera með þér á sviði. Við áttum að fara eftir þaulskipulögðu handriti en það mátti bóka að þú mundir alltaf setja þinn snúning á skemmtunina og trufla mann með fíflagangi. Þvílíka sparkið af adrenalíni sem það var alltaf. Mikið var ég stoltur af sjálfum mér þegar mér tókst að láta þig springa úr hlátri á fjölum Þjóðleikhússins í síðustu Latarbæjarsýningu þinni 2014.

Takk fyrir öll samtölin og ráðin sem þú hefur gefið mér í gegnum tíðina.

Sviðið er núna þitt þarna uppi. ❤️

Mínar dýpstu samúðarkveðjur til Steinu og krakkanna"

[Glanni's Girl]

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

I ran Dyri's post through Google Translate

"Elsku Stefan Karl,
You always manage to steal the stage. This time dramatically like you alone is the song.
When I first went to Latabæ in 2006, I did not know anyone in the studio and the expectations for what I was supposed to do were unrealistic and hard to say no when a full studio of qualified people on salary waited for jumps and jumps from a man.
You taught me to entertain, be big on the stage and get stuck on my face.
You were upright and caring.
At the same time it was gorgeous fun and terribly stressful to be with you in the field. We had to go for a manual script, but it was possible to make sure that you always put your turn on the entertainment and disturb a person with a freaky smile. Such a kick of adrenaline as it always was. I was very proud of myself when I was able to let you burst out of laughter at the numerous National Theater in your last Latvian show 2014.
Thank you for all the conversations and advice you've given me over the years.
The area is now yours up there. ❤️
My deepest compassion to Steina and the kids"


I never had the nerve to add Unnur as a friend, so if anyone wants to cut and paste the text of her post here, I'll run it through Google translate, as I'd love to know what she said.

Re: Rest in Peace, Stefan Karl

So empty and silent feelings I have right now. The first time I started watching the show I saw him not being as a villain or lazy but funny and goofy character he played.
I found out about his death on instagram but then I said to myself "Oh, the time has come". At second I couldn't realize that we all lost the most incredible actor of a kids show that he is not with us anymore.
Unfortunately, the only thing we all can do right now is to say GOODBYE and RIP. We're all with you FOREVER
