I'm probably the only one who thinks of this, but as I was watching Hollow Mind, I couldn't help but think of Emilia (a villain of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts) and then did this. I am sorry.
Both had a good relationship with their sibling. Emilia and Liam, Philip and Wittebro.
The two ended up having different views on Mutes/Wild Magic. Liam begins to trust Mutes on the Surface while Emilia wants to destroy them and Wittebro doesn't want to do the killing witches thing Philip does.
("And you MADE FRIENDS with them!"
"Yes, but they're not the monsters we thought they were!")
Then, Liam and Wittebro are killed. Betrayed by their own sibling, no less.
("Emilia knew that if Liam made it back to the burrow, it would undo everything she and her father had worked for."
"I can't let you do that.")
I used the dialogue from Kipo because there was no dialogue from The Owl House that could match this :/

There's just something about character's whose aspirations are fulfilled only when they are no longer around to see it.
In Steven Universe, Rose wanted everyone to be free to be who they are. She died ("gave up her physical form") thinking that was never going to happen.
In She-Ra, Mara wants Etheria (and the rest of the universe) to be free from the grasp of colonists and dictators. She ultimately died knowing that it wouldn't be enough.
In Kipo, this can be seen with Hugo, Brad, Yumyan, and all of the other "cured" mutes.
And then, years down the line, their hopes for a better world are fulfilled. And they aren't around to see it.
They will never know that the world they so desperately yearned for exists. And the people that love them will never be able to let them know.
And in some of these, it's made so much worse by the fact that for this world, the world they want to see, to exist, they had to die.
Rose Quartz could never have been the symbol needed to truly change the Diamond's minds. If Mara hadn't sacrificed herself, Etheria wouldn't have lasted long enough to be saved.
And that's the inherent tragedy in it. Not one road led to their happiness. And yet, the world that they would have been happy in now exists.

warning: this post will contain spoilers for Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. Tread with caution.
listen man, just--listen. If a dead character in your story was a character I liked and I don't feel anything about their death, that's bad (unless I was spoiled beforehand.)
If I am hung up about it for MONTHS, am SCREAMING when they die, WISHING they lived longer, that's good.
basically, what I'm saying is, if you're gonna kill off a character, make the audience SUFFER. Make it so they can't return to that episode/chapter/page without being in SHOCK.
Example (warning for spoilers for Kipo and The Age Of Wonderbeasts)
I AM STILL PISSED THAT HUGO FUCKING DIED, MAN. I AM STILL PISSED ABOUT THAT. I AM STILL SO SAD OVER HIS DEATH. BRAVO, CHEF'S KISS, I DON'T THINK I CAN WATCH THAT EPISODE WITHOUT AUDIBLY SCREAMING. THAT'S how you write a character death.

Yet another Kipo fanart. I think this is the last one I did. Just had to do at least one illustration of her post-timeskip design. It's amazing.
