#why is it always the favourite

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?!?
