Motherfuck. The fact that the "Please don't euthanize" plea is obviously an adult's handwriting while the rest is a child's is really gut-wrenching.

The part where they find a gun, and the dad shows his son how to commit suicide with it... Yeah, gently caress that poo poo.

If it's any comfort, the Twitter thread has someone applying to adopt him, and they mention there are a ton of applications already in the queue. Tigger's gonna be okay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssFPbXAR1WQ This song destroys me but the one part in particular where she says, "We can always try. I'm getting out of here. Are you coming with me?"

I'll give you two, an image and a song: I can't find the image at the moment but it's a few cropped panels from a manga of some little girl trying to fight back tears as they play with a little duck toy. I think it's a bit of a meme image, used in 'depressing picture' compilations and stuff like that. Seeing it for the first time hit me hard as it dredged up some buried memories that I haven't had to deal with for a long, long time. I cried and cried and cried. It's really dumb since the cropped panels are sourced from a really weird hentai, but at the time, I had no idea, and even knowing that now it still gets me nevertheless. As for a song, it's Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GemKqzILV4w I know nothing about the band and I barely even know the song, but it came on randomly in the background at a certain depressing time in my life and now it always can bring me back there. Something about the chorus, "if I just lay here", sticks out to me, as that was all I wanted to do at that point.

yeah I eat rear end posted:The matt damon movie "we bought a zoo" always gets me. It's stupid because it's supposed to be an uplifting movie but it just depresses the poo poo out of me. Definitely in my top 5 "so bad its good" movies of all time. The parent whose obsession is ruining their kids lives, the appeal to sympathy for the zookeepers for being put out by the needy animals who can't just suck it up and live with improper food and shelter, the moustache-twirling zookeeper who had the nerve to insist on making sure the zoo is properly treating its animals I dont know how close it was to the source book, but someone along the way who had a major hand in the story has to be the most self-righteous unaware abusive dickbag on earth

Also, I hate Disney movies and just most kids media makes me barf. But "I think the King should finish his last race" chokes me up every time I even think about it

Queen - '39 Brian Mays sung a song that's basically filk. It's about time dilation and space explorers returning after finding a new home, only instead of being greeted by their love at the spaceport, it's her descendent. It's a really good story and it made me cry when I realised what it was about and that is so dumb considering it's basically Interstellar in a 3:30 track

Good Will Hunting when Ben Affleck's character is talking about how he's gonna kill Will if he's still here when he's 50 years old. Just straight up bawling.
