something something the era of Obligatory Deaths in genre fiction led to a place where a lot of fans can only process character death through a lens where there’s no such thing as a narratively valid and purposeful tragedy whiiiiiiiich isn’t great, bob

#like look i’ve watched those shows too i have a list as long as my arm of character deaths that i did not and still do not like #i logged my years loving the adults best on cw shows i know how that rodeo goes #but just because some fictional deaths fuckin sucked doesn’t mean they all do #and it’s weird now to see so much of fandom be like “any character death is an attack on fans and a waste”#i mean maybe! could be! but not as a baseline rule my god #there were two deaths at the end of s2 of yj that i thought fuckin slapped narratively speaking #and the fan response to both of them baffled me
