They want to prove to this asshole other character that they can actually do it and be happy with it.

actually, it fits extremely well

it fits so fucking well that i’m really shocked that i didn’t thought it before. 

I can’t thank you enough, sweet <3

“You missed…” says the villain, shocked. “Hell no!” the hero smiles as the world falls apart

Nate: Tell me you didn’t do it.

Amy: I didn’t do it.

Alex: What didn’t you do?

Amy: I have no idea.

Nate: I knew you did it.

[theslytherinaghighlady]

Alex: What should I do now?

Amy: What do you wanna do?

Alex: I have no ideia.

Amy: This way it's hard to help you.

Nate: Do I want to know how you got in here? Amy: We only broke a few laws. Nate: Alex: Little ones. Nate: Matt: I’m just escorting… Nate: Josh: I came here for the food.

Am I writing? I’M WRITING. Oh, gosh, i am.

I didn’t write for years. Now I’m not just writing but I’m also writing a original thing! I never wrote a original thing. 

I have zero ideas about where it will go, but I’m really really happy. One scene at time. 

And I really need to improve my writing, but gosh, I’m sooooooo happy

Every author has this one favouritiest of favourite character, they just love, and try hard to make others love him too. So of course the character - let’s name him “Jon” for a moment - has this really bad childhood, he’s propably orphaned, or parents are distant, and emotionally abusive, and he’s bullied by everyone. When he grows up everyone looks down on him, and treats him as a lesser human being - until he’s suddenly the most amazing fighter/sportsman/wizard/whatever is considered glorious in that particular society. Then everyone falls to his feet and follows his lead, and in a span of five minutes since meeting him starts praising his handsome looks, his bravery, his courage, his sense of justice, his morality, him being the last truly decent and noble person in a sea of corrupt and internaly decaying people - and girls praise also his skills in bed.

And I think this is the first time I’ve seen the author kill off this “Jon” character

*I mean, really kill him to the death - being presumed dead, at least once in the story, is a part of the etos. It makes other characters realise what a wonderful person “Jon” was and weep uncontrollably - until he’s back and like ‘even death can’t match against him’ awesome.

and in a such un-glamorous way 

**I mean, it was first experienced by Julius Ceasar himself, but...

and without any glorious quote to remember him by - nothing like “I’m dying for the greater good” or smth. 

I mean - what kind of level of self-awarness on the author’s side is this? Who creates a monster of a character, build him up and whole story around him, and then realise what a horrible creature he constructed and actualy makes a conscious decision to remove it from the story? Can you imagine how many stories would improve if the authors weren’t so blindly attached to the characters who just don’t work anymore?
