The 16 Most Emotional Fictional Deaths

We all know too well the characters we become invested in that just die right before our eyes. I'm talking about books, TV shows and movies. Our favorite entertainment isn't always the happy ending, but instead the most tragic endings and plot lines that leave us drowning in our own tears. Here are the most tragic fictional deaths (in no particular order) that I will never, ever get over.

1. Denny Duquette (Grey's Anatomy)

No matter how many times I've seen this episode, I still cry like a baby every single time.

(Don't worry though he came back as the most infamous villain in Walking Dead)

2. JT Yorke (Degrassi TNG)

Just rip my heart out, why don't you? This was everyone's favorite character and he just dies, a horrible and sudden death. Not okay.

3. Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan (Grey's Anatomy)

I grouped these two together because they died from the same reason and it was horrible. Brutal. Emotional. Romantic. I cried for two days. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET MARRIED.

4. Bing Bong (Inside Out)

LIKE NO DISNEY NO. WHAT KIND OF TORTURE IS THIS?!


5. Mike Delfino (Desperate Housewives)

When I watched the series over again I had been dreading this moment from the first episode. When it finally came time for my favorite character to die I cried forever. I might still cry.

6. Ellie Fredricksen (Up)

This movie created one of the best love stories ever in the shortest time, and it still resonates deeply.

7. Jamie Sullivan (A Walk To Remember)

You go through the entire movie, getting attached to her, and then she dies at the very end leaving you with nothing but an empty box of tissues.

8. Caretaker (The Longest Yard)

He made you laugh, made you love his character, and then suddenly, dies. Of course.


9. Stoick The Vast (How To Train Your Dragon Two)

Now this one was just mean. Not only did he die but Toothless had to be the one to kill him?!

10. Mama Longneck (A Land Before Time)

Does anyone else remember this horrible moment from our childhoods? :( :( :( :(

11. Glenn Rhee (The Walking Dead)

Starting to wish the Denny didn't join walking dead...

12. Tyreese William (The Walking Dead)

One of the bravest, kindest and most humane characters on Walking Dead, so of course they had to kill him off.

13. Cedric Diggory (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

HE DIED ONLY TO BECOME A VAMPIRE. SERIOUSLY? NO. HE IS A WIZARD DAMMIT.

14. Derek Shepherd (Grey's Anatomy)

Just, no.


15. Ray (The Princess and the Frog)

This was a BRUTAL disney death. So vivid, so cruel, so intimate.

16. Noah and Allie (The Notebook)

I feel like romantic movies are really just a sick form of torture.


So there you have it, some of the most memorable and horrible deaths of my favorite characters that I had become all too attached to.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
