the death of a fictional character

[certainthings]

A bit ago, there was a thing floating around my end of tumblr that said, "Reblog if you've ever cried over the death of a fictional character."

... Which. What? Are there people who haven't?

Have you never not cried over the death of a fictional character? Do you know anyone who hasn't?

Hell, I've cried over characters that I didn't even care about.

I think the worst one (so far) has been Warrick's death (CSI). I cried so so fucking much over his. And whenever they mention him on the show, even if it's just, 'I once had a partner...' I cry.

Every. Single. Time.

So. If you have ever cried because a fictional character died - Who was the worst for you?

I used to be a non cryer. I would get wibbly but not real tears. Then (and this is going to show my age) Billy died in the courtroom on professing his love to Ally McBeal and I lost it. I held it together again until Buffy killed Angel and then all bets were off.

My daughter lost her shit when Cordelia dies on Angel. When she came out of her coma and kicked ass and then we find out she never really woke up? Yeah, my daughter cried for a good solid 20 minutes. I was starting to get worried.

The worst one was actually just this year. I lost my father just over a year ago. He got sick and died withing three months. We had to take him off life support and I held his hand and watched him die and it was fucking awful. Fast forward to 9 months later and I am watching Grey's Anatomy and they have to pull the plug on Mark Sloan and watch him die. My daughter and I were watching it together and we literally had to pause the dvr and take a 20 minute break because we were sobbing so hard.

So I have progressed from a hard hearted bitch to a big cry baby over the years! ;)

"There's a new man in town." :)

Every now and then I randomly think of that. It's the only bit of the song I remember that was played at Billy's funeral. And I also cried a whole lot when Billy died.

:hugs you:
