That's why I loved Harry Potter and Person Jackson and The Olympians and Angelfall even.

Ironically, since he does actually sing but whatever.<br /><br />Good point about THG. I mean, it's hard for me to take books seriously if it is all gloom and doom all the time. Like even in LOTR there are jokes before the battle scenes, because people need to let off some steam. And having highs makes the lows feel lower. JUXTAPOSITION IS IMPORTANT.<br /><br />This is also, I think, the secret to TFIOS. It's not just weepy because the telling is so darkly comedic. Tragedy needs to be balanced by some sort of comedy.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-47691444609644289612014-10-10T08:43:18.027-04:002014-10-10T08:43:18.027-04:00I feel the exact same way.

And, like you said, everyone loves the Weasley twins. How can you not? They're by far my favourite.<br />But just life in general, you need to be able to laugh at things, otherwise you're gonna go mad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-39634570840555334912014-10-09T22:32:13.755-04:002014-10-09T22:32:13.755-04:00In books, movies, and life, the ones who make me l...In books, movies, and life, the ones who make me laugh gets my heart for life. I'm absolutely, 100% in agreement with you there. Whether it's awkward goofy humor, sophisticated wit, silly banter, sly wryness, or slapstick- humor is the ultimate shared experience between two people, even when one is fictional.<br />And Joss Whedon is my usual go-to example of how you can make a tragic scene TEN TIMES MORE PAINFUL by throwing some levity in right before.

This is why I say that I'm <i>attracted</i> to the broody bad boys at first, but in the end it's the goofy, dorky boy that I'll fall in love with for eternity. Of course, there are the moments where I get the best of both and a character like Nikolai happens, but that's not so often as I'd like it. But if a boy makes a pun? Better get the marriage license because you're stuck with me buddy.

And the fact that you have lovely Cosmo Brown Gifs, well, that makes me love and appreciate (and laugh!!!) this post all the more.<br /><br />I really don't have anything else to add, because everything you wrote is exactly how I feel. Oh wait, I do have one thing to add. I think sometimes people feel like comedy is easier to write than drama, when I actually really disagree. It's not easy to think of a funny thought/joke/line and then figure out how to deliver it perfect. But when it is delivered well, man, it goes straight to my hear.Quinn @ Quinn's Book Nookhttp://quinnsbooknook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-11355089790188514942014-10-09T13:30:44.081-04:002014-10-09T13:30:44.081-04:00YES SO MUCH THISYES SO MUCH THISAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-14161024341687388362014-10-09T11:14:33.150-04:002014-10-09T11:14:33.150-04:00Yes!!!

It sucks but it's like I can't do anything about it!

I even found out that when looking for a partner one of the most important traits I need in them is that they make me laugh. So yeah, witty and funny characters are definitely my thing. I need them to have a sense of humour more than I need them to be tough or badass. Valeria @ A Touch of Book Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356663154561146557noreply@blogger.com
