That scene from House where Cuddy follows House’s hunch and gives the paralyzed guy the cortisol shot healing him and allowing him to walk again kills me

I thinknits good to once in a while have a cry to get out shit

Probably ejects cortisol…Soo powerful.

Also that scene in Majoras’s Mask where you heal Pamela’s gibdo father and she runs to embrace her daddy and she cries something like “Father/Papa 😭” in such a grief stricken singsong childish way. I just cant

Have a real soft spot for healing and restoration, it seems, from finding what was lost and thought intractable to at least somewhat restoring and getting it back somehow

The Rupert episode/end scene playing “Its So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” on Family Guy was very sweet and nicely done, not used to feeling things from Family Guy besides laughing and derision but it was touching in its own way

    Oh lots honestly. And some hit much harder after I became father. These reliably bring the tears when I allow myself to be emotionally invested in the movie.

    • Opening scene of Up.
    • The scene where we finally see the unsanitized, ugly trauma of The Miracle in Encanto.
    • Anna’s solo “Next Right Thing” song in Frozen II.
    • A few scenes in Godzilla: Minus One.
    • The scene where Hawkeye gets the soul stone in Avengers Endgame.
    • The messages from home scene and reunion scene in Interstellar.

    There’s an amazing Pathfinder (ttrpg similar to D&D) podcast called “Find the Path” that has a Patreon exclusive show called “Tyrant’s Grasp” that is shockingly emotional and I have to be careful where/when I listen because I have been emotionally ruined by it several times. Their other shows are wonderful too, but that one is powerfully emotional.

        The podcast? It’s a combination of factors. They are very authentic people and excellent role players, and they’re playing a highly emotional, professionally written adventure. The narrator (game master in the terms of the game) is extremely attentive to details and pacing. They play strictly by the rules and are playing a difficult game, so sometimes heros fall and don’t get back up.

        These factors compound because the story itself is masterful. Powerful and grim, but also hopeful.

        Massive spoilers below the tag.

        Tap for spoiler

        Tyrants Grasp was written as a survival horror story in what is normally a high fantasy world. The story begins as characters were attending a festival, then suddenly wake up in the land of the dead. They find out there’s been a sort clerical error- something strange occurred and they’re still partly alive. They are allowed to return to the land of the living. When they do they find their town ruined by a powerful weapon of some kind, and their townsfolk adrift as shades. They have to confront these shades and help them accept their death and move on. Including one character’s young daughter who thinks she’s playing at the school with her friends, a scene that caught me while I was in the gym before I knew better and I basically had to quit my workout and cry through to process.

        After helping the shades move on, they embark on a quest of revenge, trying to stop similar tragedies. Long story short- they fail often, but they persist and find the best parts of humanity hiding in the darkest places along their journey.

        It’s a bleak story filled with tragedy, despair, trauma, and failure. But also beautiful with hope, perseverance, and self sacrifice. The heros don’t always win, they’re often broken, but they do find a way to fight back against the darkness and evil of their situation and that is sometimes all anyone can do.
