11 Fictional Deaths That Shattered My Heart
Fanpop

Everyone has drowned themselves in a good book or movie at some point. Soon they are completely wrapped up in the character's lives and feel as if they know them on a personal level; don't try to deny it, you know it's true. As you become more and more emotionally involved with your favorite character, the writer does the most painful thing imaginable: they kill off your favorite character, as if it were nothing. This list is here to immortalize their short lives. **Spoiler Alert**

1. Fred Weasley (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows)


I can not tell you how hard I cried when I first read this and how much harder I cried when I actually saw it in the movie. It pains me immensely to this day, because even in my worst nightmares, Fred and George were to NEVER be separated.

2. Leslie Burke (Bridge to Terabithia)


This one was brutal for me as well, she was so loving and pure, why her???

3. George O'Malley (Grey's Anatomy)


Such a pure human, RIP 007.

4. Robin Hood (Once Upon A Time)


Okay, so the person that decided to kill off Robin Hood and steal him from Regina and Roland: I just wanna talk.

5. Alaska Young (Looking for Alaska)

John Green, we get it. You like to shatter our hearts and not let us know what the last thing someone said was.

7. Sirius Black (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)


Just thinking about this one shatters my heart. Brb, I need a moment.

8. Neal Cassidy (Once Upon A Time)


I am as big of a Captain Swan fan as the next, but Neal's death hit me so hard, because Emma was just so happy with his being there.

9. Jack Dawson (Titanic)


Why, why, WHY did anyone think that this would be an okay idea?

10. Thomas J (My Girl)


He was such a pure angel that just wanted Vada to be happy.

11. Rue (The Hunger Games)


She was so small, and her heart was so mighty. I just wanted her to happily win with Katniss, even if that wasn't a realistic desire. I cried like a baby when she was killed off.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
