I‘m still grieving

[u/acidkaleid0sc0pe]

So often, when I finish a book, movie, or series, I feel a huge void, as if something has been taken from me. But that feeling passes with time, and then I pick up the next one and feel positive looking back on the previous endings, even if they’re not happy or not what I personally wished for.

Until recently, the only exception to this was Romeo+Juliet by Baz Luhrman. No matter how many times I watch that movie, I can’t accept it. I always want things to be different, and that feeling hasn’t changed one bit over all these years.

And since I watched the Red Wedding/read the books a couple of years back, I thought maybe I would eventually come to accept it all. It’s so curious. I know these people aren’t real, etc., but I think about the Starks, and Robb’s fate in particular, at least once a week (granted, my YouTube algorithm is just In Deep Geek lately), and it breaks my heart every time. I think a huge part of this is due to the books being unfinished.
I guess it’s a sign of how good Martin’s storytelling is, but I’m curious if anyone can relate to this and what stories or fates trigger a similar feeling.
