the most important poll ever

There's a bus strike here and basically the whole city is dooooomed, because it's winter and exams are on and people who lack cars have no way to get anywhere. Also I have an exam tomorrow morning, but I am unconcerned and so [livejournal.com profile] bazcat89 and I are discussing Fanfiction Trope #87 - Excessively Crying Male.

Anyway, that leads me to this BURNING QUESTION I have for you, my friends:

[Poll #1312493]

ETA - As [livejournal.com profile] christycorr has pointed out I made a greivous error in forgetting THE TRAGIC DEMISE OF DOBBY, but I cannot edit it into the poll. You may show your support in the comments if you so choose.

I AM ASHAMED ON YOUR BEHALF

but lj polls are impossible to edit, so

I almost asked you on MSN "what parts of DH made people cry?" but I didn't want to spoil the ~surprise~

you could have been really casual about it, I'm rather slow, so chances are that I probably wouldn't have caught on.

(i cried upon realizing how screwed andromeda got. but i'm crazy, so)

I almost added Andromeda but then I didn't because I was like ... no one cares about Andromeda. LIRL I was just trying to remember what I'd heard people cry about, since I did not actually cry while reading that book. Or any HP book.

[identity profile] bazcat89.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
You only almost added Andromeda because Christina and I are crazed fangirls, LIRL.

I actually wibbled a bit during Dobby's funeral. ....*ashamed*

Yes, because of you two and because my mind is permanently set in Marauder-era-goggles.

HDU no it's okay everyone did, I just didn't like DObby

[identity profile] bazcat89.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
That too.

I didn't particularly like him, but there was just something about that scene that struch my wibble chord.

Apparently it struck the wibble-chords of millions, I am just a heartless bitch who does not cry for house-elves or godfathers or gay headmasters or parallel universes.

LIRL
I usually end up wibbling without MEANING too. Like during JE I'm just like THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL *sobs*

Actually, I always end up resenting fictional things that make me cry.

LIRL YEAH I only cry for memorywipes and elaborate events on Scrubs. I think Scrubs has made me cry like, twice, which is ...one time more than any other TV show. Go figure.

I'm still offended by the fact that GOSSIP GIRL made me tear up.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/ 2008-12-10 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaa.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Were they tears of YAY or tears of woe?

[identity profile] bazcat89.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
They were tears of
OMG HOW BEAUTIFUL AND EMOTIONAL

which is just wrong

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/ 2008-12-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
A little bit, yes.

I don't think I've ever happycried over TV.

[identity profile] bazcat89.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
It was wrong. I don't even know why it happpened. I....

I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE I AM TOO ASHAMED

[identity profile] bazcat89.livejournal.com 2008-12-10 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Blair tells Chuck that she loves him and Chuck scoffs and leaves in his limo. So fanon!Jim would have cried, and then made Pam feel bad about herself.

They are horribly annoying, as is fanon!Karen.
