If you say Julia Burnsides was fridged I will personally come into your home and…

Just ask you politely to discern the difference between

a) killing off a female character halfway through a story because you don’t know how to write her and think it’s easier to have a man-pain arc than learn to develop female stories

b) finding a safe and reasonable way to explore a personal fear of the women in your life dying by creating a female character who was dead at the beginning but making sure to fully characterize her enough even in her death that everyone loves her

please and thank you
