How to make a character's death sadder

 Don’t have them die of old age after a long, fulfilling life. Many people don’t even think of this as sad (note that this can still work if you have enough of the other factors).

 Leave one of their major goals unfinished. The more enthusiastic they are about completing the goal, the sadder.

 Give them strong relationships with other characters.

 Make them fight against whatever is causing their death. Their ultimate loss is sadder if they struggle.

 Kill them in the middle of their character arc.

 Don’t describe their funeral in detail. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that long descriptions of funerals kill the sadness.

shout out to Karl Urban as Eomer for giving one of the most heart wrenching cries ever produced in cinematic history where you can essentially feel the anguish and shock that he is going through to find that his sister was on the battlefield, and is now injured, presumably dead. words cannot describe his pain.

I joke a lot about one piece being bad but at it’s heart it is a story of love and freedom and revolution and it’s a pretty inexorable part of me.

what really surprised me is how tightly woven those threads are, even from the beginning. all the way back when alvida was the first villain, through the Big Punch-Em-Up Explosions that are happening in the new world, some (katakuri) better than others (doflamingo). the narrative sprawls and the individual arcs have shenanigans, and characterization can get kinda wobbly, but thematically (and maybe even meta plot-wise) it’s been solid since day one. and you can find fascinating comparisons between character arcs: robin and ace and their question about if they should have been born (can throw sanji in here too), nami and jimbei’s connections to fishmen, chopper and franky living up to dead father figures and embracing monstrosity in their humanity, luffy and everyone else–

it’s good. and it’s been good to think with. more important to me right now, it’s been good to hope with.
