Character Death Mamba - Why You Must Kill Characters and How Not to do it Poorly

In this week's episode, we will be discussing character deaths. We talk about why you would want to kill a character, how to do it right, and also, how not to kill a character that will leave your readers angry, confused, or betrayed by your work. Meaningful deaths vs. meaningless deaths, and how to use both because both are useful techniques, you just need to know when to use them.
Also, the Goblin here is giving you the reassurance it's okay to kill the dog or the horse. Just make it mean something to the plot if you do.
Plus, here are the books we think handled the topic of death well.
Literature recs:
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs
Love, Ruby Lavender by Deborah Wiles
And whatever horse series Kate read that we still don't know the name of.
