I'm not that morbid, really

But let's face it, what gets to you more than a good death scene? I was thinking about death scenes a while ago, and came up with my personal top five from novels, which I am now finally posting even though I should be getting to bed soonish.

Oh gods, now I'm thinking of my top five death scenes. I could never put them in such a list but...

The Tutor. Oh Gods, that is such a wonderful image, and is so full of honor and dedication...*<3*

Karakael. Okay, so this isn't tecnically just 'his' death. 'Tecnically' Ellorin is the one that gets the description, and his sacrifice isn't what makes it amazing, its what happens after. STILL.

Kestril, from the Wind on Fire trillogy. Dancing to her death for all the people she loved, and sacrificing herself for her brother.

The girl from the Awakeners. I honistly can't remember her name, because her death affected me to such an extent that I never wanted to re-read the books. Yay for being burned alive for ones (flawed I might add) ideals.

...Wow. I'm sencing a pattern here. Huh. Seemingly well done Buddhist suicides really affect me.

Ooh, yes, I love Kestrel. Brilliant trilogy, wonderful death scene.

^.^

The wierd thing is that I honistly can't think of a fifth death scene that has affected me. =.=;

Wow, months late >.<

Yeeeeaaaah, I kept telling myself I would reply once I was actually logged in as myself, and then I was never logged in as myself. >.< How much do I fail? As much as the very ending of Magic Knight Rayearth.

Aaanyway, I never read it. And I have to say that even if I had, it probably wouldn't make the list. I don't connect to almost any dog characters. :/ Dogs and I have issues.
