Let's face it, some characters are crafted so horribly, it's impossible not to laugh at their ridiculous lines and actions. Storytellers mess up too and when they do, we get imaginary people who are just that — not real. Even worse, their unconvincing behavior can break the suspension of disbelief and ruin an otherwise totally sound book, TV show, or movie.

Luckily, that's not always the case and every once in a while, we relate to make-believe folks so much, we can even learn from them and grow as human beings. In fact, we can develop such a strong bond with them that their joys and sorrows start affecting us on a personal level. So we at Bored Panda decided to explore these beautiful connections.

Researching the topic, we came across a couple of Reddit threads (one and two) that we think you'd be interested to go through as well. They both essentially ask the same question: which characters' passing away have scarred you the most? And people's answers along with their explanations provide an interesting insight into our relationship with fiction.

    30 Movie And TV Characters That Crushed A Lot Of Hearts When They Passed Away Ellie from Up. Up's intro sequence was so beautiful: It told the story of a couple's life together. Real life with all of the difficulty and broken dreams along with it. And it shows the deep and incredible loss Carl felt with her death. This short sequence imbues the film with a deeper sense of meaning, using almost no words at all, and gives Carl a profound gravitas you cannot find in many other films

    30 Movie And TV Characters That Crushed A Lot Of Hearts When They Passed Away Fred Weasley from Harry Potter. The twins may have annoyed some people with their pranks, but their ultimate goal in life was to have fun and bring joy to their friends. They were generous and brave and clever and pure. To kill Fred and permanently tear them apart was the WORST! Especially when George had already been injured! You didn’t think they could be at risk anymore now that one of them had gotten hurt. They weren’t on my radar during the Battle of Hogwarts. I remember the moment I read it the first time. I was inconsolable

It really bothered me when he was working at the grocery store, and everyone was b*tching at him while he was bagging people’s groceries. It truly goes to show that society will f*ck you if you don’t keep up. RIP.

    Little Foot's mom in The Land Before Time.

    When I first saw it as a kid it was the first time that I realized that my parents could die. That thought had never even really occured to me at that point.

    Even now as an adult that scene where he thinks he sees her but it's just his shadow and the narrator says, "Then Little Foot knew for certain he was alone." still gets to me.

    In Cher's variety show in 1975 he showed up on a life raft, waving and shouting "I'm fine!" lol. Legend also has it that they didn't tell the cast about it and when they hear the message the upset silence and dropping of instruments we hear was a genuine reaction.

    It was a time before major character deaths were common. They set everything up so well that we were so focused on the idea that Izzy might die that the thought of another main cast member dying was inconceivable. Now it's a game: "oh who do you think they'll kill off next?".

    You're never introduced to him, but you can convey from the deep sorrow Iroh pours out how his death affected his personal purview and moral edict. It made me cherish the worlds, friendships and lives you build with people because you are an influence to many, and pouring poison into a vessel is a quick way to make you regret how you passed along what you said and did.

    There’s a specific episode of Doctor Who, ‘Father’s Day’, where Rose goes back in time and saves her dad from getting killed in a car accident.

    Her dad gets to meet her but because the timeline change caused complete chaos and destruction, he figures out he was supposed to get hit by the very car she saved him from. He then steps onto the road and … fixes the timeline.

    I never bawled so hard. It was such a well-written episode. It was tragic and upsetting. At the same time it was haunting watching Rose’s dad accept his fate. I still cry hard every time I watch his death scene.

    Jiraiya from Naruto.

    The kid deserved a f*cking break. Grew up with no parents and in a village that resented him. He worked his tail off and made people respect him and realize he's not a monster through hard work and determination alone.

    Midway through Part I, Jiraiya enters his life, becomes a strong father figure (though he does have his flaws), and then he's killed in Part II. Watching Naruto break down in the popsicle scene after Jiraiya passed had me bawling my eyes out.

    I lived a childhood a lot like Naruto's. Didn't really relate well to my parents (they were abusive) and spent a lot of time alone as a result. I was also poor as hell and told I'd never amount to anything. I worked so hard growing up to be where I am now, and to see a character I identified with so much get something stolen from him that he truly deserved sucked.

    I'mma go cry now.

    30 Movie And TV Characters That Crushed A Lot Of Hearts When They Passed Away Andrea Cantillo from Breaking Bad. That’s the worst moment in Breaking Bad. It’s one of those moments that’s so awful, you almost resent the writers for putting it in there. In a way, it shows you how Jesse would feel, just wishing it wouldn’t have happened. That show always blows my mind with how they're able to make you feel such strong emotions

    Poussey on Orange Is The New Black. She was one of the few characters I really cared about on the show and her death was just so unnecessary and realistic. Just devastating.

    30 Movie And TV Characters That Crushed A Lot Of Hearts When They Passed Away Sarah Lynn from BoJack Horseman. God, just the fact that her last words were 'I wanna be an architect.' Her wish since she was a child, but that her mother took away from her. And that BoJack could've saved her but waited 17 minutes to call an ambulance and tried to set everything up so that he wouldn't get blamed

    Count Olaf in A series of unfortunate events (the books)

    Just something about a man so shaped by his own misery becoming a figure of cruelty and greed, relentless in pursuing the misery of others. He believes all people are this way in reality, and cannot see through the darkness use his intelligence and skills for good.

    Then he just dies, unredeemed on a coastal shelf, and no one has anything to say.

    That’s also what I liked about the books as a kid. There was an underlying message of : sometimes terrible things happen and there’s not much you can do about it, but try to get out the other side kicking.

    Rudy, The Book Thief. We read the book in middle school English then watched the movie. The entire class was sobbing because we had studied this book and fallen in love with the characters, and to see it brought to life was just heartbreaking. Great book and movie by the way. Edit: thank you SO much for the awards!

    John Marston. He suffered so much in an attempt to move on from his past, killing all of his former comrades in the process. He finally reunited with his wife and kid, gets a small glimpse at a new life, and then he’s shot down in front of a barn like a damn dog. Was painful to watch, doubly so after RDR2 came out.

    Greed from Full Metal Alchemist.

    “Greed may not be good, but it's not so bad either. You humans think greed is just for money or power, but everyone wants something they can't have.”

    Greed had the most selfless death and damn did it hit home.

    When Stringer Bell died on the Wire I seriously considered not watching the rest of the series.

    I'm glad I did continue, but later deaths like Omar and Snoop were no easier.

    :( this should be the highest one. He had the greatest of plans, just not good enough for him to survive. I cant even play that ending without crying. And the damn sad music, gets me every time.

    Scooter in Tales from the Borderlands. I loved Scooter so much from BL2, and it hurt so much to see him go the way he did. The worst part was knowing exactly what was going to happen just before it did.

    So long, Space Cowboy.
