Sad endings
15 years ago
*sniffles*
So I have just finished watching the anime series Romeo x Juliet, and as it ended I spent a few minutes weeping like a hurt and lost child. I oft have troubles showing my stronger emotions, but novels and shows seem to make me cry with strongly emotional endings.
So I pose to one and all, do you react so to such things? Strong reactions to things you know to be but flights of fancy, mere stories? Is this, like for me, how you judge a story well told, with characters you grow to identify with or care for?

Darling, I know exactly what you mean. I have the same thing, with emotional scenes or sad endings to a movie or a series or a story, I can't help myself either.
*smiles a bit*
Heck... I've been writing stories like that. My mate and me have been working on scenes for several stories we worked on, more or less playing out the scenes in messenger, and with a lot of them, we made them so emotional that we both had to stop posting for a while to regain ourselves because we were both bawling like babies behind out computers...
I had such a problem when I was writing the campaign I am running for my Saturday gaming group currently. There was so much time invested in its writing, months and months, and when I finally wrote the ending, I cried at what I had wrought on my characters. But I feel, any truly good story must have moments where you truly feel for the characters in it, even if it is a group of people sitting around playing Dungeons & Dragons or such, I want them to have some connection, some reaction, to the characters that share the game world with them.
True, I absolutely agree. I admit I prefer the happy, cheerful, upbeat stories, but it's certainly true that those do tend to get old if nothing but fun good stuff happens. You need a good bit of drama in a story now and then to balance things out, and when you put your characters through such a hard time that it makes you cry yourself, then that only serves to make the character that much stronger and give him/her that much more depth and credibility as a real character
And this story is a colossal effort on my part, I have come up with an idea for a sci-fi setting all my own. One all my future sci-fi games will be set in. And this campaign is the creation of that galaxy. The changing of it to what I want it to be. I am letting my players help write my sci-fi setting's history.
That definitely sounds like an awesome achievement, darling. I certainly hope that all your players will put in a good bit of effort as well and make everything more than worth it, but somehow I think, with such a great basis to work from, that will indeed happen
Pick half the comics on this site...
But from my childhood? The pinky and the brain Christmas Special made me cry a lot.
I my first romance was turned into a tragedy *hugs you*
She didn't manage to live lone enough for our graduation back in highschool...
I love that anime =(
That one got me too.
Yes, Disney for all its touting of being "kid friendly" has some damn depressing stuff. Almost every Disney movie has one really tragic/sad/tear-jerking/heart-wrenching scene.
Me too, some of the characters from fiction I have read/seen I have adopted into my RPG games.
That is very understand able, we all react to the things that resonate with us, and naught else really.
Hm, something happen to change the way you view such things, or just no idea why?
then being diagnosed with kidney failure.
writing own story, and trying to get into the more emotional side of writing, to have more feeling to it.
could be a lot of things. don't think i can nail it down to just one thing.
Very understandable hun, most any of that would change a person's outlook on life.
Well, usually, I dunno, sad scenes don't really affect me so much... I still do feel sad, just not to the point of tears! Usually it depends on how strong the scene is, especially in the sense of music. For example, that scene from Toy Story 3 (If you've seen it. AWESOME movie) where they're in the incinerator. Gosh, just thinking about that scene gives me the chills. It was really intense and emotional. Sometimes, it's not music or movies/games, but dreams that can be having a strong effect. I remember a year ago I had a dream that ended with really melancholy music, and I woke up, playing that music in my head over and over again, until I eventually got the sniffles at night! ;_; Well, stuff like that can have strong effects on you, even if they're just merely dreams! But in general, I don't get over emotional during sad scenes! *Pets*
I get that way more then not, just keep it to myself.
Being single as I am it is hard to watch a tearjerker type of movie because they make me cry every time i try to put on a tough front when in public that works pretty well but I really I am a sensitive guy who loves to make people happy
being that I am that way i know exactly what you need *runs and gets a cup of coca and hands it to you* and lets not forget one of these *snuggles up next to you* everyone knows cuddling a happy kitty makes things a whole lot better hugs you tight ^^
Thank you hun.
