#also for the record im a big fan for happy endings 😭 so this isn't me mad that the book ended happily

[helenofblackthorns]

the fact I've seen a couple people say the reason for the lack of mourning for Kit in ChoT was because cc "didn't want to write sad scenes"... if she didn't want to write sad scenes she shouldn't have killed off a main character????? like why kill off someone and then not follow through with some sort of narrative weight (which is probably going to be sad. because someone died.)

like writing 101 is to not kill off characters unless it serves some sort of purpose, whether plot wise or character wise. even if that purpose is to show how dangerous the situation is for everyone else. but for that to be effective it can't just... exist in a vacuum. there should be notable changes in other characters behaviour bc of the loss, or how the plot unfolds afterwards. death is kinda a big deal & the writing should reflect that! there should be a gaping hole in the group you can feel, a definitive change story that wouldn't exist if the death hadn't happened, especially for a main character.

and the way Kit's death is written... doesn't reflect any of this. like he hadn't died the book would have ended exactly the same. and honestly the whole thing is kinda a slap in the face for readers just because we have read three books with Kit & fallen in love with him as a character. we deserve mourn him! we deserve to have moment where we get to cry alongside the characters for more than a couple sentences! and the fact we don't makes the whole thing feel unfinished & that the ending is undeserved. like for me at least, reading the epilogue was a "that's it?" moment, it all felt too good to be true (and a bit fan-servicey). like I was just expecting this moment that never came & it left me feel unbalanced. at the very least someone could have spared an "ave atque vale" like come on now.

In response to the other anon and you

Such a great observation i never would’ve reconnected thoses dots.

It is true. On stage Louis more reserved and the in person very easy going. And harry opposite. But harry has now reached A list level of fame. That’s really high. He’s reconginzable EVERYWHERE yet he still likes to go out by himself and feel normal and do normal people things. So now in response to you Marte

What if it’s a bunch of things. I feel like those two are too complex it’s always something 😭😭 but

I genuinely feel like Harry just likes to do outdoorsy things and is now seeing how popular he’s gotten. He’s mainstream now. Grammy awarded winner. He knows now he can’t go out without being stopped there’s no peace no rest for him. He has to uphold an image and so he can’t fully be his natural self and will always have his gruad up. We know that joke about him having a sixth sense when it comes to people recording him. I think BASICALLY

- he’s recongzing how big he is and now there’s really a limit to what he can and can’t do outdoors. He’s always known this. But now he’s gotten BIGGER. Even if he wants to ignore the truth….. it’s inevitable.

And I know he feels this way bcos that interview with Zane Lowe I think where he spoke about being somewhere and like the world didn’t know where he was blah blah and he liked that.

Timothy Chalmet I know I messed up his name but he’s an American actor. There was a video of a girl talking about how tim came in a café with a mask….. he chose to sit down but then began to look around as he dropped his mask. Hesitant at first but he did it. What happend after 😭😭😭😭 a fan is like “are you TC?” And ask for a picture.

Shortly after he leaves the store.

All they want is privacy and when out reach that status you crave normalcy at the end of the day.

One time katty Perry was excited bcos a waitress was aruging with her over the bill and they didn’t know who she was so it made her happy to be treated normally.

Like WOW. Im not refuting your claim that his image plays a role, that is true. But two things can be true at once and I think he may appear that way in public simply bcos his fame has skyrocketed and hes prolly on edge for the picture taking , asking OF the pictures, having to decline and how they react well. He wants to be normal but his pockets are far from it. I also think that’s what makes him humble. Ah I miss harry Marte.

I’m a 2015 Larry at heart but i get why so many love the fetus era. They were small, in their own world(PUBLICLY) , being themselves. They’ll NEVER get that back. And it sucks, truly.

Hi, anon!

Harry's been in the spotlight since he was 16. He's been sourrounded by bodyguards for events since then. He can't go alone to very public places without running into fans. It's been like that since he was 16. Having said that, Harry knows exactly where he can go unseen, unspotted and unbothered and where he can't go. There are loads of places he can go and be left alone. So everytime we see him out and about he 1) either don't mind being spotted or 2) is out and about to intentionally be seen out and about.

I also think that you fail to consider that H isn't a random person, he's a celebrity who lives and thrives on attention. There is an element of narcissism to it, H has said so himself, but it's an ego-boost everytime he is pictured by a fan or asked for an autograph. There are also measures he can take in order to secure his privacy and security, and he has done that to the level he wants to.

There is also a difference between wanting privacy, and wanting normalcy and be treated like everybody else. Being a celebrity means giving up some of your privacy, and they're okay with that because they love the attention it brings them. I get that they miss to be able to go to a store like a normal person, but being a celebrity also has it perks where you often get special treatment and advantages. Celebrities who starts to crave normalcy, more than being a celebrity and the perks that beings, usually ends up retiring and leaving the limelight.
