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?

Life as a House. First, it's an emotional roller coaster to begin with. Second, I like Kevin Kline, and he plays his character so damn well. So when he dies - terminal cancer, gets his family back, builds a freakin' house with said family and friends - I bawled like a baby the first time I watched it. Not wibbly tears, I'm talking full-on weeping to the point of breathlessness.

Even now, having seen the movie multiple times, I STILL cry like a baby at the end of this film.

Awww.

tbh, the only thing I remember about Life as a House is how damn good Hayden Christensen looked.

LOL and I had the total opposite reaction, maybe because of HC's character's age in the movie. I teach kids that age and, well....I don't think "ew" is a strong enough word. Heh.
