@scarletimmortalized Not to sound enthusiastic about stabbing readers in the heart, but… I am really enthusiastic about stabbing readers in the heart. *evil laughter*  Both of my favorite deaths are huge spoilers, but the thing they have in common is that they were both a) a sacrifice to save someone else, b) unexpected, but not out-of-the-blue random or for shock value, c) mourned realistically by other characters. I think the thing that hits me most in a death is that they had so much they could have done with their lives, but then DEATH. *sobs* (yeah, there are certain characters I don’t think I’m ever getting over) A note I’d like to make about sacrifices, {aaaand here comes the rant} is that they should always be absolutely necessary and happen sparingly. I read a series once where people were sacrificing themselves left and right, and it lost its emotional punch. The philosophy seemed to be, “We got a problem? Welp, guess I got to die.” The fist time it was touching; by the end I was wondering why everyone was so low on the will to live. {Rant over}

Good luck on writing! *hands you a box of tissues and a vial to keep reader’s tears in*
