    A fresh one.

    Spoiler for the Black Company "The Silver Spike"

    Raven. Can’t believe he wasn’t dead after the end of the last book, almost hard to believe he’s for sure dead now. Just finished it so don’t tell me.

    From the Wheel of Time series

    Bela the horse. It’s hard to explain why this death hit me so hard, Bela was just a great friend and was always selflessly there when she was needed.

    A fictional character’s death in the Witcher books.

    I was reading a fantasy book about a monster hunter, I didn’t expect that one, last paragraph of a chapter, out of the blue, would make me actually uncontrollably cry. The author has been criticized for his writing style but holy shit this was like waking up from a dream that suddenly turned into a nightmare.

    And no, it’s not a character you necessarily know if you’ve only played the games.

    Witcher Books major spoiler

    Essi Daven’s (Little Eye) death. Fuck you Geralt. She was the one for you.

    Question: Does Lemmy spoiler markdown work on Piefed as well?

    Example.

    Spoiler for Harry Potter

    Cedric Diggory. A kind, generous, and fair Hufflepuff, killed through no fault of his own, he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think I put the book down and took a breather on the my read-through, and it still hits hard on rereads and relistens.
