“Don’t want money, just someone who wants my company”. 💔
Click “read more” for info and a blue version.
I wanted to make an art piece of Once-ler when he’s all alone after his company failed because as heartbreaking and gut wrenching as his sadness is, I think it’s such an important part of his story. I think his sadness and how tragic he helps make him feel so human and relatable, because we’ve all been through sadness. It’s an especially important part of his story in my Once-ler-pon A Time AU and something I’m going to explore a lot. (Of course in my AU I’ll give him a happy ending much sooner than in the movie).
I added lyrics from the song “The Prophecy” by Taylor Swift because I think that song fits this part of Once’s story sooo perfectly. That Taylor song has made me so sad since the first time I heard it and Once’s sadness makes me sad so I’ll be honest and say I hurt my own feelings with this drawing. My intention was to vent my own sadness but no.
I also made a blue version because I had this idea that maybe in my AU, Oncekins changes into a blue suit after the Lorax leaves/during his lonely part of the story because blue is the color of sadness. However I’m not sure how I feel about it.
The truffla fluff he’s holding was the one on his jacket btw, but it’s wilting and dying because symbolism.
