And I Still Believe In The Light

Description

And I'm falling, watching as you're hurting
I'm down here I'm on my knees
How can I survive
Then you turn to me and promise me you're ready
And tell me you'll be waiting on the other side

I feel like Yellow Diamond is given more crap than she deserves, and what I especially love about the latest episodes is that we get a glimpse of her relationship with Pink Diamond. The theories that Yellow shattered Pink just piss me off, so I had to try to convey how Yellow expresses her grief over Pink's death. Not everyone is going to be outward and open with their emotions like Blue Diamond. I think with each of the three diamonds we are going to receive different methods of coping with a loved one's death - for Blue we see a sense of displacement from the Diamond Authority - almost all of her screen time has been explicitly mourning Pink, and she has to be repeatedly reminded that she has the duties of a matriarchal deity to uphold. With Yellow we see emotional suppression - she addresses the fact that Pink is gone and that she misses her as well, but we only see her show any real emotion when she is trying to cheer up Blue and when Zircon accuses the diamonds of shattering one of their own. Since we haven't even seen or heard a sliver of information about White diamond, it's pretty hard to discern how she handles grief, but I personally feel that she might be similar to Yellow in a cold, hard, absence of emotion. However I hold any judgement until we see her for the first time lol

This is soooo good! 

I agree, I don't think Yellow shattered Pink...for some reason I think, and this may be a bit of a jump, but I think it may have been White? Or maybe Pink accidentally shattered herself, idk...I guess time will tell :shifty: 

But this is really good, I love the shading and the way you drew Yellow ah! So pretty :heart:
I can feel the grief.
