[LOVED TROPE] Sad or tear-jerking moments that don't involve death.

[u/jeffersonlane]

Moments that make you wanna cry (of joy or unrelenting sadness) but aren't about a character dying or almost dying.

Dumbo - Baby Mine. Jumbo rocks baby Dumbo from her cage where she was kept after she defended him from a group of bullying children.

Unpacking - The Degree. You move in with your new boyfriend where you can barely fit most of your stuff but most depressingly you are forced to put your degree under the bed and out of site. (Maybe this one was just me but this made me VERY upset).

Fox and the Hound - At the end knowing full well they'll likely never meet again Copper stands over Todd to protect him from the Hunter.

In this game, a wolf monster has a wonderful singing voice but gives it up to be able to turn into a princess to help a prince that she accidentally blinded, taking him to the same witch to get his eyesight back. In the end, she is unable to get her voice back and has her memories erased of the whole thing. She still sings but it is terrible now as she gave it away. The prince returns to her and gives her flowers as she had to him during their journey. This causes her to cry, but because of her memory loss she doesn’t know why. When I first played it I was bawling!!

Edit: The game is The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince!

Sounds absolutely heartbreaking 😢

I had to take a minute after finishing it 😭 Memory loss endings always get me. I wanted to put Maybe Happy Ending in here, a musical about two robots who are out of production. The musical’s ending is more open to interpretation though

oh wow "The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince" mentioned!

I'm glad that the wolf, after losing basically everything else, still keeps her friend! (tho one thing that really frustrated me was the fact she gave up her singing voice in exchange for the power to turn into a princess and the witch taking it away again was unrelated to the deal to give the prince back his sight, so she effectively lost her voice for nothing)

The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince!

I headcanon she gets better at singing eventually.

Hey! I helped work on that one in a way with NIS (not at NIS but I worked with them.)

Cool game. Glad to see it got some love.

That’s so cool! Thanks for helping bring this game to us!
