shout out to my man Steven Steel. Lucy was the Unsung Hero of SBR but her husband was genuinely the most unexpected MVP. Araki intentionally set up this guy to come off as skeevy and potentially disgusting as possible. What's he doing this race for? Why does he have such a young wife? There can be nothing good here. Then the facade is chipped piece by piece as you see these two genuinely care for each other so much, but it never leans into romantic. Lucy is willing to die a dozen times over all for his sake. But you can't help but want to know WHY. All they've shown so far is a trusting bond yeah, but it's not romantic, then what's all this devotion for? What has he done to deserve it? Then her backstory drops like a semitruck full of bricks. He never stopped protecting her, not back then, and not even now when he's full of bullet holes and Valentine's fury is mere moments away. Like it's such a suprisingly refreshing twist, I give full props to Araki for pulling it off.
EXACTLY
The second that reporter made a comment on Lucy’s age I was immediately terrified for how things were going to play out. It’s already been VERY well established at this point that Araki isn’t afraid to go into some dark shit, so my mind was bouncing around all sorts of awful possibilities from coercion to kidnapping to trafficking
And honestly, the more and more I grew attached to Lucy, the more and more worried I became for the situation. At the time when I was under the impression their love for each other was romantic, so her dedication to him wasn’t impressive, it was INCREDIBLY concerning
but then the explanation came. How Stephen saved her and why. And the whole time I was worried it was going to take a turn, that there was going to be some darker motive……. But there never was. Stephen simply wanted to use the influence and power he had to keep her safe and give her the best life he could. He told her he had no intention of touching her in any way, and he followed through on that. Hell, he explicitly told her that one day when she’s older and falls in love, he’ll happily divorce her so she can live her life with whoever that may be
And this reframed EVERYTHING about these two thus far. It was never a young girl in a marriage with a man far her senior, it was two best friends who looked out for and protected eachother. They were both willing to face the fires of hell to keep the other safe, and the fact that not ONCE does it ever comes off as romantic is really a testament to Araki’s skill as a writer

You know your life is majorly fucked up when spending a few days in the same room as the President of the United States is somehow 1000000x worse than being married to a man 36 years older than you

Man, I love Steel Ball Run, but Mountain Tim has to simultaneously be both the lamest and creepiest (the shit with lucy steel) character ever.
With Stephen Steel at least, the way he's written comes across as hin treating Lucy like a therapist more than a wife, which is still pretty bad but like he's a super flawed character w/e.
Mountain Tim is a lame pedophile cowboy from Wyoming and I always celebrate getting to the part where Blackmore ganks him.
I don't think its a wonder that True Man's World and Green Tombstone are where SBR really hits its stride, especially once Mountain Tim dies.

“You don’t have to.” Johnny said.
Gyro didn’t look at him, busy placing himself in a comfy lying posture over the bed—so he still had sore muscles—and beginning to browse pages furiously, crumpling paper.
“If I don’t comply, we’d have our relationship expanded in newspapers instead.” Gyro grunted in answer.
“No. You’re wrong. He won’t do that.”
Johnny let go of his crutches, pain flowing back from his wrists and arms as he sat down on the covers.
“Gyro.” Johnny called.
He did, a second time, waiting for Gyro to look up and meet his gaze.
“What?”
“He won’t do that.”

“I didn’t say she was beautiful.” “All women are beautiful,” said Istvhan, dismissing this. “It is the job of their lovers to make them feel that way if they do not already.”

Do you think Lucy steel got therapy or counseling for the events of SBR ?
I really hope we see descendant of Lucy
Given the time period? Unfortunately I don’t think so, no
However, I do think Stephen and Johnny did their best to help her out in deal with her trauma by simply being there and doing what they could to support her
and I agree, seeing a defendant of Lucy would be FUN

Summary:
“The best miracles are imperceptible to the world.” – Unknown author
Gyro and Johnny have a meeting with Stephen and Lucy.
*updated every week*
Snippet:
“My wife likes what you said.”
Stephen knew he was missing something. Lucy behaved as if she knew Gyro Zeppeli well, and trusted him with her life. The only words she told him about Zeppeli were that ‘he’s respectful and helped,’ and as if it wasn’t enough mystery, ‘he’s an excellent doctor.’
He’s not a doctor, he’s an executioner. Someone that in all likelihood studied law. And the man should be a medic too? Plus a talented horse rider?
Stephen had caught Johnny Joestar and him making eye contact when they met in the room, the way their gaze lingered in adoration. That’s discreet. Still discernible.
What a strange bird.
“Well, in fact, no. She respects you as a person.”
Gyro kept silent at this. He wasn’t going to say: ‘I bet she’s grateful, I removed a decaying holy skull from her womb.’
“All that mess…” Steel was talking about the police, government’s officials, Valentine’s disappearance. “Is there anything you can do to help?”
“We didn’t kill the president.” Johnny stated.
“Go see Hot Pants.” Gyro topped.
Stephen Steel swallowed.
“He’s also reported missing.”

At the time that I'm writing this, it has been exactly five years since SpongeBob's creator Stephen Hillenburg had passed. This was an idea for a drawing that I've had captured in my mind shortly after he died, but I didn't have the confidence or motivation to draw this until this year when I got around to overcoming my combination of blank canvas and imposter syndrome. This drawing acts as a tribute and as well as my eulogy to the creator of one of my most significant objects of my childhood. After five years, Stephen Hillenburg is still missed every day, and his work on SpongeBob lives on to be this great touchstone towards my personal passion towards animation as a whole.
R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg. 1961-2018.
