It’s like if you’ve been in a relationship with someone for 3 years, and suddenly things start to go wrong, and you have a foreboding sense that it’s gonna be the end, even though that’s not something you want to happen. This isn’t just about being pissed over a fave character dying, it’s the realisation that the entire show isn’t about what you thought it was about, that you’ve been duped, and you feel like a fool for having believed in it. THAT is why this is affecting so many people so deeply and drastically. If the rest of the fandom can’t understand that, then I guess they’ve been watching a different show to the one I have been.
