Per Benny's request, imma gonna talk about my least favorite character deaths, and one I liked.

 This is a small list for me, as I do enjoy a well written death. In fact, death in novels very rarely saddens me. Same for movies. However that doesn't mean that there's some I pissed about.

 I'm fascinated when I'm on the internet and people said that they cried reading some YA novel due to the deaths. Then this is me... oh, that person's dead.

 If anything, death has always been a shock factor to me.

 Unless it's a dog movie. Dog movies always make me cry.

 If you do want to read the one book that made Wolf almost cry, read A Separate Peace by Jonathan Knowels. I won't talk about this one though, because this is a book that deserves to be read. Actually, a lot of the deaths I liked won't be talked about because of a reason similar to that.

 Now onto the deaths. Must I mention that there'll be spoilers?

 -Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Mostly Harmless. Douglas Adams.

 I quite liked the first few books, and after a while I did begin to think they got a little... meh. So reading the last book, I was over the series, but I did laugh quite a bit. Then comes the ending.

 Mostly Harmless, ends with all of the main characters dying when Earth is blown up by the Vogons.

 Wait, you say thinking about how the story began... which was the Vogons destroying Earth to make way for a bypass, how is this possible? Time travel and alternate dimensions. I honestly started losing track of what took place where and when. 

 Why I hated this ending is partially the time travel bullshit, another part is how sudden it is, and the third part is it has to do with Arthur's daughter being the unlikable shit she is.

 Random... not gonna lie, I had to look up her name, is... well... urgh!

 I don't have words to describe her. She is constantly neglected by her mother, who is dumping her off at different places to cover stories across the galaxy, and as a result of how time in the galaxy has worked, missed a lot of time with her mother. So maybe, you can like her and feel bad for her.

 Nope. She's a little shit, and her actions got all of the main characters killed.

 And as I have said before, their deaths were very sudden. There was this nice touching moment then BOOM! Dead. No more. Deceased. Gone to meet their Maker. Wait... they couldn't have, because he disappeared in a puff of logic.

-Hunger Games, Mockingjay. Suzanne Collins.

 First off, I want to talk about the best death in this series, and why after that death in this series pales in comparison.

 Rue.

 When I watched the movie, I was kind of sad. When I read the book, it was even sadder. Katniss's pain doesn't help, and the book focuses on it more, showing you Katniss was pretty torn up.

 In a world where children are killing other children, death seems almost trivial. For Katniss it's about survival... and a crappy love triangle. For some it's also about the glory of winning. So up until this point, we don't really care who dies.

 With Rue it's different. Their relationship is amazing. I would say I found it stronger that Prim and Katniss's relationship. Which I found odd, as Katniss see's Prim in Rue.

 After that death, I was kind of impressed.

 But after that, any other death in the series has that same trivial feel as before. I read Catching Fire in a day, and the only time I was bothered was Peta's near death experience. But that shocked me because deep down inside, I despise Peta.

 Now, I never finished reading Mockingjay. So, my experience of these characters deaths comes from the movie.

 Lets talk about Prim.

 And Finick.

 Finick's death only serves to help the reader (or in my case, viewer) understand anyone can die. In the movie, I hated the way it was handled, and what could have been an emotional death, was wasted, and poorly handled. Finick had very recently gotten married, he was happy, and you'd expect his death to carry some emotional weight. But there's none.

 Prim... oh Prim. I was back and forth on this one. Death when used as symbolism is awesome. I initially thought her death was to represent how innocents die in war. Then I realized, nope. I don't think her death was necessary, and needed, and we had enough of this shown through out the series.

-Harry Potter, The Deathly Hollows. J.K. Rowling.

 Okay, I was kind of sad about this one. But Dobby... DOBBY WAS A FREE ELF. He didn't deserve that death. Sure it was a heroes death, but it was Dobby. Dobby deserved life.

 I can't really think of any others off the top.... wait a fucking moment...

-Dorothy Must Die, Danielle Paige. 

I'm not going to lie, this book is was the final nail in the coffin with YA novels for me. After that, I stayed far away from that section.

 I have so many issues with this series. Sooo many. The only reason I've continued to read the series is because of how bad it is. Just because it's her debut novel, I'm not going to cut her any slack. I could write a chapter on this book... actually I will....

 Lets talk about Indigo.

 When Amy Gumm (YA stereotype numero uno, misunderstood protagonist who turns into a badass) is teleported into the land of Oz, Indigo is the first character she meets.

 Indigo is a spunky blue harried munchkin with enchanted tattoo's that show the true history of Oz, not what Dorothy wants you to believe. If you guessed that based on her tattoo's her only purpose is exposition, you'd be right.

 Indigo is a cardboard cut out of a character, and depth is only added so her death could be a blow to the gut for the reader. And even then her backstory is a stock one that you can literally tack on to any flat character to get an emotional teen age girl to make her cry about said character.

 I may be a teen girl, but I'm not emotional and I've read enough shit to see through this, so I don't care. 

 Indigo, our exposition trash can is killed taking Amy to the Emerald City, and it's so unnecessary... and bad... it's laughable. 

 I hate this death because of how unnecessary it is, and how the author seems to think it'll make the reader sad. 

 In the authors mind, the death of Indigo serves a purpose. It is supposed to make you hate Dorothy even more. But lets face it, you already dislike her enough at the beginning, and her flat purposely dislikable character with no redeeming qualities who has a tendency to not die when she should along with the fact that she's down right annoying and is the equivalent of a whiny rich white girl who's been spoiled by her millionaire father, already does that.

 Now if that run on sentence didn't show you how unnecessary this death was, I have one other reason. 

 The only real reason Indigo dies, is because the author has nothing else planned for her. Her only purpose was exposition. Therefore she will die, to save time on writing, by completely removing this character.

 The only reason her death bothered me, was just how it didn't need to happen.

 Now I need to shut up before I go on about this character. 

 So, should I write a chapter about that book. I mean, YA novels literally made me realize my stories and character were shit, and did eventually help me improve my personal writing. I kinda wanna write about them now...

 I am by no means a great fucking story teller, but picking out flaws in other stories, helps you realize them in your own. Well that's my opinion. It's kind of worked so far...

 I found this picture of my cat being cute. 

 I've turned into a crazy cat lady... save me...
