Argh. I am so worried about my favourite characters in various fandoms right now that I ACTUALLY. FEEL. SICK. I'm so scared of them dying! Does anyone else ever feel this ridiculously involved? I remember once watching a season finale of LOST and having to pause it about five times because I couldn't breathe! It wasn't even the final season! And when I held the last Harry Potter book in my hands I just remember thinking "Oh God, whatever happens, it can't be changed now. I'm holding the answers right here."
And then all my favourites died. Off screen.*
But at least I was up-to-date and watched LOST as it aired and read Deathly Hallows when it was published, whereas now I'm YEARS behind with these fandoms! So I feel like I can't even mope and panic in public, because most of you already know the outcome and I feel so horribly embarrassed about that! Like if I mention anyone by name you'll be thinking "Ahh, poor love, her favourite does die!" and I'd feel stupid. The temptation to check online if people make it to the end is ENORMOUS, but I shall resist! I always feel so angry with myself if I come across a spoiler! (So I'd be ever so grateful if you didn't mention any specific character deaths in the comments, from any fandom, as I know I have friends who are equally behind with things! Thanks so much!)
I've been watching episodes whilst hiding behind a cushion**, or reading chapters whilst trying to stop my eyes from flicking to the next page.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
And don't even get me started on Mass Effect 3! I am in a constant state of panic that I won't get my Turian wedding happy ending.
This is such a pathetic post! I'm sorry! I think to some extent I'm projecting my worries onto fandom, because Merlin has a poorly eye and the vet doesn't know what's wrong. :-\
GET A GRIP!!
*OK, that happened once, but I bear a grudge.

marcusjjordan I won't blame you if all my favourites die. Well, I might blame you just a little bit. But I will get over it and will still love the show! I know you worry about these things!
