i love star wars novels
enemies to lovers romance between me and myself
protons……….. neutrons…………… croutons………
personally I don’t like crying (stresses me the f out) but I do love some kinds of crying.
the harsh screams and cries of someone finding a loved one dead or seeing them die. The raw sound of grief that the character just can’t hold back.
The tears that come with no sound, the whumpee is in too much pain to hold them back. but at the same time is too numb for any actually sounds so all that comes out is the tears.
the whumpee holds up the tough guy act for the entire whumpe session until the whumper leaves them alone. that’s when the tears come and they cry.
another good “tough guy” one is when the whumpee finally breaks in front of their team/team/family. which then brings on a very nice group hug.
character A shows up at B’s house in the middle of the night, bruised and soaking wet from the storm outside. B doesn’t even have time to ask what’s wrong before A just starts crying hard. B pulls A inside and they just hug for a while.
two friends on a battle field lean on each other and share a few tears for their fallen comrades.
and my personal fav, Character A finds B alive after being separated during whatever whump/trauma scene. just the tears of happiness that come pouring out as they embrace each other. (I like using this one for scenarios like “big sibling finds younger sibling” or parental figure finds child”)
when something bad happens to someone you dont like and you have to pretend you’re sad but on the inside you’re like
Every DnD game that starts out with a serious “Lord of the Rings” type of tone turns into a Monty Python sketch and every DnD game that starts out like a Monty Python sketch turns into Lord of the Rings
People are starting to put out hummingbird feeders, y’all know what that means
Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.
