Re: Fictional deaths/distresses

[(Anonymous)]

Characters' deaths don't distress me. Other characters' reactions distress me.

Aeryn's reaction to TalynJohn's death in Infinite Possibilities/The Choice kills me. Every. Time. Niagara Falls.

There's another fandom where a particular death has, apparently, sent me off in a snit, but I still think I'll get over it eventually.

Re: Fictional deaths/distresses

I see your point, anon. The reactions of the others do make it worse/more bittersweet. I have a number of fictional scenes that happen after some character's death and that absolutely kill me.

Wish you get over it! I now how painful it is. But is there also a bit of sweetness/satisfaction added? Because sometimes the way the character dies/others react is heartbreaking, but it makes the work better and one ends up feeling bad because of the death yet feeling good because of the quality of the work >.< (Then brain BSoD happens)

Characters' deaths don't distress me. Other characters' reactions distress me.

I said something similar in my reply about Buffy's mom's death in BtVS. The character's death was sad but didn't really effect me, it was the characters reactions that really got to me. Anya in particular.

+1

Lewis' death in Flashpoint didn't hurt as much as watching Spike and the rest of the team basically fall apart as it happened...

Re: Fictional deaths/distresses

[teaphile]

This is exactly what I was going to say. Watching Spike fall apart is far more painful than watching Lewis die, even though I loved Lewis. I skip that episode every time.

[kikkyo]

Most of the time I'm exactly the same way. It's not so much the one character's death that gets to me, it's the way the other characters react to the death.

But then the exceptions, Fullmetal Alchemist and book 7 of Harry Potter. Every time. Deathly Hallows especially- it's like, I spent so long being invested in these characters and then they just drop like flies, OMGWTFJKR! And then somehow FMA manages to be just as brutal from the get-go, especially the first anime. ;__;

[ryttu3k]

Agreed. I rewatched Fellowship of the Ring recently, and even knowing that Gandalf would be fine, watching the Fellowship's reactions just slayed me.
