Character Death

Hello, dear readers. Today's topic is rather... sad... As I'm sure you know if you are capable of reading titles, today we are talking about... Character Death. Sorry, I know this is a depressing topic, but I am in this kind of mood because I finished The Order of the Pheonix and all I can do is be depressed because WHY, SIRIUS?! I'm going to try to list all the characters in my fandoms whose deaths I was not okay with... It might take a while.

1. Charles Beckendorf
2. Silena Beuregard (is that how you spell her last name?)
3. Lee Fletcher
4. Luke Castellan
5. Bianca DiAngelo
6. Fred Weasley
7. Dobby
8. Remus Lupin
9. Nymphadora Tonks
10. Oromis
11. Glaedr
12. Coulter Dixon
13. Ajihad
14. (I haven't gotten very far in Doctor Who but I'm sure tons of people will die there as well)
15. Primrose Everdeen
16. Finnick Odair
17. Madge Undersee
18. Mags
19. Zoe Nightshade
20. Lily Potter
21. James Potter
22. Esperanza Valdez
23. Emily(?) Zhang
24. Marie Levesque
25. Albus Dumbledore
26. Severus Snape
27. Cinna
28. Rue
29. Thresh
30. TRIS
31. Uriah
32. Will
33. Tori
34. Wiress
35. Sammy Valdez

I told you it would take a while. But I swear reading a book/series goes like this every single time:

Every author ever: Which characters do you like?
Me: Well I like Sil-
Rick Riordan: Oops, she's dead.
Me: Well... Dobby is really ni-
J.K. Rowling: Oops he's dead.
Me:(in tears) I... I like... Tri-
Veronica Roth: Oops, she's dead.
Me:(much sobbing) Well Prim is ador-
Suzanne Collins: Oops, she's dead.
Me: (Gasping for breath) But what about-
J.K. Rowling: Dead.
Me: Or-
Suzanne Collins: Dead.
Me: And my favo-
Veronica Roth: Depressed.
Me: How abo-
Rick Riordan: Forever alone.
Me: And my OT-
Rick Riordan: In mortal peril.
Veronica Roth: Half dead.
Suzanne Collins: Separated by hallucinations.
J.K. Rowling: Well, actually, you're fine.

See? Thank you J.K. Rowling, for that slight bit of peace of mind that is promptly ripped away by the deaths of Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Dumbledore, and Snape. These authors are so fabulous that they can get me emotionally invested to the point where I am just Fangirlishly spazzing. And characters are killed off to keep the story moving, I understand. But WHY SIRIUS? PRIM! TRIS! FRED! BECKENDORF! SILENA! DOBBY!

Anyway, I'm really sorry you just had to witness that, but I hope you enjoyed the post... Tomorrow, if I post, I will talk about something happier. I promise.
But let's take a moment of silence, for all our OTPs in peril, for all our lovable seventh wheels, for all our fallen. Thank you.

That's all for today guys!

Good luck in life, happy watching, happy reading!
