I'm so done with "killing the main character out of the blue". Thanks for that little trope, Mr. Martin.

@Fuego Isn't it kinda crazy how quickly it went from "nobody ever does this" to "cripes, enough with it already"?

Why, back in my day, when we killed off a main character, we made sure to bring 'em back later in the narrative, no matter what contortions and machinations we had to employ to do it! *shakes cane*

@ElectricKeet I just feel like it's a cheap kick in the gut to your reader. Like okay. I'm done reading this now. I'm not giving you another chance to red wedding me in the next book bro.
