Not my favo, but a really cool character. I started an entire argument with the writer in my head. But in the end, the author won because the character stayed dead.
5 stages of grief. Shock first – like, OMG why?? Then I feel devastated, like losing a friend. Anger follows – at the author. Then denial – i read the book again, so that i can pretend it didn’t happen. Finally acceptance (aided by common sense) – i tell myself to “Get over it, it isn’t real” & move on.
Let’s just say I’ve haunted an author for a year on social media over her killing him like why would you do that gods I’m still upset. I swear I think every time she sees my handle she goes “uh oh” And with my first favorite character I chucked the book at the wall, that one wasn’t pretty.
As a writer… when I kill them myself it takes me days and weeks to write it cause it’s so hard. Then I cry and cry some more. I grieve. But then when I see someone read it and react…….. I smile and nod. ?
That’s why I (along with the casual violence) that I stopped reading the Game of Thrones series. Everytime I began to care for a character, he/she would be killed off, often in the bloodiest of way. UGH!!
I have only killed of one character when writing. It kills me. I procrastinate about it for days. When I am reading and my character gets killed, I am heart broken
Heartbroken and betrayed
Like a bad bitch ?
I stop reading for a while to come to grips with it (the whole time saying I will never continue the book but i always do)

Like a piece of me died, too
I experience sadness that prevails into the depths of my soul
I tear the page where he is killed.

Man , me too
Don’t read the game of thrones series then , I loved the books but once I started liking someone BAM!! They were dead .. lol
The book gets thrown across the room. Possible many many times. But only after I check to see what page I was at before I threw it.
When I write a character death even a minor one I cry
Cry for hrs

It’s time to petition the author and start a riot! ??
