#book fandoms

hey writers, is it a #relatablewritersthing where you’re reading a book / watching a show/movie and try to predict what might happen next but the plot twist you formulate in your mind is so good that you end up praying it doesn’t actually happen so that you can use it yourself..?

or is that just me?

me starting a new book series: from years of experience and a general underdstanding that interesting plots don’t have happy endings, I know that some or many characters are going to die throughout the series and that I’m just going to have to accept that, because I also know that if there were no deaths then the books would be highly unrealistic and I’d stop enjoying them

favourite character:*dies*

me: *flipping a table* oKAY BUT DID IT HAVE TO BE THISONE?!?
