CW: TADC Abstraction, Character Death
Thinking about digital circus abstraction and Madoka Witches parallel...
Imagine Jax abstracting and it creates a symbolic pocket dimension of his trauma, with little ankle biting, laughing, cabbit minions. I haven't seen Sayakas witch form in Madoka yet because I struggle finishing anything, but Jax would also probably target Ragatha directly too
Ragatha's about to be endgamed and she sobs,"What did I ever do to you to deserve this?!" closing her eyes in fear.
And abstract Jax says "Believed in hope for us all" and, monch. Ragdoll go slack

#phantastikprompts zu meinem Debütroman "Die Abenteuer des Edward Corby"
18. Frage an die Hauptfigur: Was denkst du könnte dir deine Autorin niemals antun?
Mich töten? Wobei, sie ist so wankelmütig. Da ist man niemals sicher.

Shocking moments - Star Trek 31 Day Challenge
Shocking I agree, but also all you’ve mentioned were very questionable writing choices.
All of those were main character deaths to make a point that danger is real. ‘For the drama!’ seems to be the plea from the creative side.
I really don’t like them as a viewer and don’t need to see beloved characters die in horrific circumstances to believe danger is real. There are other tools in a writers kit that can create tension and suspense.
One gets the sense that writers find them very exciting to use, but Star Trek seems to have done badly with these.
Picard’s use of these deaths is one of the things that I deeply dislike about the show. They burned two youth-perspective characters (Hugh and Icheb) which was enough to put our teen kids off new live action Star Trek for a while.
In fact, I would say that the franchise has showed a weakness in commitment to its principles of diversity by almost always killing off a representation character, even if they are sometimes revived.
The fact that two of the strong women main cast characters of the 90s shows were killed off due to offscreen misogyny makes it all the worse. But I have to ask why is strong women, youth, gay, and disabled representation characters that are considered permanently sacrifice-able for the shock value.

#WritersCoffeeClub 21 Do you ever regret killing a character?
I've told this one before: I had the unnerving feeling toward the end of The Psychopath Club that one minor character was tugging at my sleeve and pointedly asking for more screen time.
I gave him more screen time. I killed him off alongside the antagonist, pour encourager les autres.
Characters: I created you. *I* get to decide what happens to *you*, and not the other way round.
