the most important poll ever

[thirty2flavors]

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 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 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 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.

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

You only almost added Andromeda because Christina and I are crazed fangirls, LIRL.

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

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

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

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

That too.

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

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

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.

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

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.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

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.

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

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

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

Hahahaa.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Were they tears of YAY or tears of woe?

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

They were tears of
OMG HOW BEAUTIFUL AND EMOTIONAL

which is just wrong

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

A little bit, yes.

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

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

It was wrong. I don't even know why it happpened. I....

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

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

WOULD IT HAVE MADE JIM CRY?

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

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.

LIRL

AND THEN IT'S TIME FOR WEEPY SEX Y/Y?!?

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

YES AND THEN A LOT OF WEEPY SEX IN WHICH THEY WAX POETIC ABOUT HOW DEEPLY AND TRULY AND PURELY THEY LOVE EACH OTHER.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR HALPERT AND FANCY NEW BEESLY!!!

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

THAT'S JUST HOW THEY ROLL

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

OBVS.

Man I don't even read office fanfic and I hate fanon Jam already.

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

They are horribly annoying, as is fanon!Karen.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

Is fanon!Karen like TOTALLY AWESOME or is she a psycho bitch?

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

She's either like, terribly hurt and injured and wounded, or completely batshit.

I don't read the "Team Karen" fics so I assume that that is where totally awesome!Karen lives.
