  • An Invocation for Beginnings If you're ever in a rut, a classy reminder of the things you still can do, no matter what.
  • Bogleech. Yes, seriously. It's a site made by someone who absolutely LOVES all the creepy crawly, wiggly icky, creatures in the world. What does this mean, and why is it Sweet Dreams Fuel? Because it shows that, no matter how many people may dislike something (or someone) for not being aesthetically pleasing, there are some people out there who thinks that they are great. The whole idea of the site is just unbelievably sweet if you view it from this perspective. And educational too! ...But then, if you happen to scare easily, you may want to view the site during the day, find the aesop by sunset, and then go to sleep with that happy thought in your mind.
    • To celebrate Halloween 2020, he spent each day in October talking about a monster from Ultraman. The monsters got more and more disturbing as the month went on with the monster for Halloween itself being Ghost Monster Seabozu... A Non-Malicious Monster who only hurts people accidentally while trying to leave earth and return to its world. As Bogleech points out this is the scariest one of all, for Seabozu. The episode ends up being the first one where Ultraman helps the monster instead of killing them and he's able to send Seabozu back to space. Bogleech then declares that he loves Ultraman and would love the monsters in it just as much if they were all friendly.
      Bogleech: If you can't have a good Halloween, I hope you can have a good something or other. And if you're reading this some time in the future, I hope something really nice has happened since I wrote it.
  • Cute Explosion.
  • The Colour My Series. Even the Nightmare Fuel 3rd one has a sweet ending, compounded if you find the secret note.
  • Isabelle Sings Fireflies. It's exactly that.
  • Any Touhou Project fanart drawn by Eijima Moko.
  • Everyday Cute. Just...Everyday Cute!
  • Anything from Team Starkid. They're just a bunch of kids in college goofing around and being ridiculous, but they're all friends and it's so clear that they love what they're doing. Not to mention that for all the ridiculousness, all of their plays have this heart to them deep down. Couple that with all the amazingly talented actors and writers they've got with them, as well as the awesomely catchy music and the insanely quotable humor, and you've got something totally awesome.
  • The story Love. Being on a site dedicated to creepy stories just helps.
    • Similarly, Sim Albert, where a ghost haunting The Sims 3 uses the game as a second chance at life, and is granted it by the player who is genuinely moved at the sad state he's in.
  • Cracked presents: 6 True Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity.
  • Smooth McGroove. Awesome one man a cappella renditions of classic video game themes plus one truly epic beard, plus one adorable kitty cat = instant smiles.
  • Everybody! Everybody! Seriously, Homestar and company continue to be the best.
  • There's a lot of Nightmare Fuel in AJCO, especially during the Silo arc (in which all the characters are forced into a State bunker after nuclear warheads are sent at Pi-TEC). But in the midst of it, Egg - who is nearing the Despair Event Horizon following all of the horrors she's been exposed to - and a scared and lonely Kube comfort one another with sympathetic hugs and reassuring declarations of their intent to survive. It doesn't take them long to fall in love.
  • RWBY credits track "Gold," a bubbly tune about being a protective, comforting, and overall positive influence on somebody's life.
    Don't you worry about the dark / I will light up the night / With the love in my heart / I will burn like the sun / I will keep you safe and warm...
    • And "Wings", which plays over the end credits of episode 16.
      Dry your eyes now, baby / Broken wings won't hold you down / You'll take flight soon, baby / You'll be lifted up / And you'll be there...
    • Let's not forget All Our Days, a song about a girl pledging to do anything to keep her little sister safe, while also looking up to her as the years go by.
  • RWBY Chibi is this in spades. Whereas the main show went Darker and Edgier and had a lot of Tear Jerker moments, RWBY Chibi is like a warm safety blanket with lots of fun characters, including a few old faces. The only exceptions would be Episode 6 of Season 2 and a few instances of Comedic Sociopathy, but otherwise, it's as cute and innofensive as it gets.
  • How about Auto Tuned Mr. Rogers "The Garden of Your Mind"? Also doubles as a Heartwarming Moment for anybody who grew up with Mr. Fred Rogers.
  • Kona the Love Sponge is a Facebook page about a certified therapy dog and his adventures, including ones with his siblings.
  • Hanazuki: Full of Treasures is about a girl named Hanazuki who lives on a moon in a fictional galaxy and can grow trees with her emotions.
  • The Helluva Boss Season 1 episode "Queen Bee" is absolutely this. The somewhat somber ending aside, this is easily the most lighthearted, heartwarming and fun episode in Helluva Boss. "Cotton Candy" is a joyous song that will fill you with glee and Bee herself is just a ray of sunshine for her nice, wholesome Hard-Drinking Party Girl personality.
  • The podcast "Nothing Much Happens: Bedtime Stories For Grownups". The narrator tells a story about peaceful, joyful, simple activities- ice skating in winter, making soup during a storm, looking through antiques, stopping at a countryside vegetable vender, going to the hardware store and buying candy there- in a very soothing voice to help you nod off.
  • Welcome to Night Vale. The universe is a cold, uncaring place, and you may be killed by things you don't even understand. But within this world, there is not telling how beautiful you can become. Remember, nothing is perfect. They become perfect when you learn to accept them for what they are.
  • OMFG DOGS. Just some cute puppies running around a rainbow background to the tune of a cute, bouncy instrumental tune. Guaranteed to make you at least crack a smile.
  • While Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is mostly known for its Nightmare Fuel, the friendship between the three main characters is pretty adorable. When they're not being taught "lessons", they can be seen doing activities such as watching TV, having a picnic, and playing a board game. And even when Red Guy escapes from the "puppet world," his main goal seems to be trying to help Yellow Guy and Duck Guy escape too.
  • This Tortoise Could Save a Life. It features a little tortoise eating a big strawberry while the late Alan Rickman narrates in a somber tone how the video and all ad money that it collects goes to charity for refugees and children. Needless to say that it not only became a instant hit on social media with the video going viral (especially with the Tear Jerker of Rickmans sudden death), it is also simply adorable to watch the turtle struggle to eat that big strawberry.
  • Animal videos in general. One can spend years on the sweet side of Youtube, watching videos of puppies trying to howl, cats playing with toys, monkeys having a shower, owls getting petted and so on and so forth...
  • Louise Pentland, aka, Sprinkleofglitter. Her videos are so pink and shiny and happy! Also, her daughter Darcy, aka Baby Glitter, is sweet dreams personified.
  • AmazingPhil. His videos tend to be very positive and cheerful, especially when he interacts with his best friend, danisnotonfire.
  • The Laughing Chewbacca Mask Lady video has evoked this reaction in a great many people. Honestly, how can someone getting this much joy out of life not stimulate joy in others? So sweet were the dreams of the masses, the lady became instantly famous.
  • "Cloud" is a short made by college artist James Harvey about a little cloud who falls down to Earth and befriends a young girl. Trust me, you will get diabetes of cuteness after seeing this.
  • Youtube user Crispy Toast's "Rights and Wrongs" series. They're videos showing the right and wrong thing to do in certain situations, like going to a movie theater or eating at a restaurant. The characters who do the right thing are always treated nicely, and the characters who do the wrong thing go through all sorts of Amusing Injuries and other punishments. The series is very lighthearted despite some cases of profanity.
  • Pencilmation is literally drawn with Sweet Dreams Fuel, and virtually every one of its light-hearted, sweet and fun episodes is a great way to look at your crummy little sketchbook doodles in a more positive light.
  • RebelTaxi, aka Pan Pizza. If you're tired of overly angry, loud, negative-accentuating Caustic Critics, then Pan makes for a nice change of pace. In addition to being utterly hilarious, hearing him so honestly gushing over what he loves is just so nice to listen to.
  • PhantomStrider is another example that goes against the grain from such a type of critic. Strider has a warm, friendly disposition and very, very rarely raises his voice in his "Worst" lists (if ever).

  • Why humans are adorable.
  • Cinema Wins. A series that points out all of the good things with movies and praising even the worst movies for their positive qualities.
  • In a Heartbeat, an LGBTQ+ short about a boy who tries to keep his own living (and adorable) heart from outing himself to his crush, will have you reaching for your cuteness diabetes-treating insulin any moment.
  • I Love Egg, coupled with an ear worm of a tune about how good eggs are for you, also features cute characters in a collection of short cartoons that'll invoke happiness and squeeing.
  • Red vs. Blue is an odd addition, as the story focuses on mean and bitter characters who live in the definition of a pointless war, while fighting supersoldiers and psychopaths. However, despite this our merry band lives, makes a family for themselves, and learns how to triumph against a galaxy at war.
  • 義足のMoses: Just a Cute Ghost Girl having the time of her (un)life with the help of a pair of animated, mischevious tapshoes. The credits manage to be incredibly adorable to top it off.
  • Thomas Sanders, of course. His Vines and YouTube videos alike are sweet, funny, and uplifting, but his Sanders Sides series deserves a special mention. What starts out as a silly concept, with different aspects of Thomas' personality squabbling with each other, gradually evolves into a genuinely moving character-driven story, with real Character Development and more story-based videos. The Sanders Sides videos are equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, and are guaranteed to get you to crack a smile.
  • BuzzFeed presents:
  • The Miniature Space channel on Youtube, which features videos of the filmmaker making food using tiny utensils and cookware. It's as adorable as it is therapeutic to watch. An example, where he makes curry and rice.
  • Shibenation and Rapid Liquid, two channels dedicated to silly memes with Shiba Inus.
  • For all the horrific Nightmare Fuel that the SCP Foundation is built on, many database entries and tales still go out of their way to provide Heartwarming Moments and Funny Moments as a much-needed counterbalance. Yes there's a Omnicidal Maniac lizard, a demonic mask that turns people into meat puppets, and a Living Statue that snaps your neck if you look away from it. But there are some that are actually... pleasant. After all, the Foundation's mission of protecting the known universe wouldn't mean much if there was nothing in the universe worth protecting.
    • SCP-085 or "Cassy" is an animate drawing of a chipper and kindly young woman who the Foundation adores.
    • SCP-131, a pair of adorable little teardrop-shaped creatures that act like little puppy dogs.
    • SCP-458, a pizza box that can make any pizza the holder wants.
    • SCP-999, a little blob that lives on candy, loves all living creatures, induces instant euphoria when people touch it, and enjoys tickling people. It can even tickle away your depression. Not only that, but in some canons it's the son of The Scarlet King and will eventually grow to be powerful enough to defeat him.
    • SCP-1795, a race of interstellar beings who do nothing but make entire planets for the sole purpose of giving humanity places to live.
    • SCP-3338, little sentient music toys that act as helper gnomes in your house.
    • SCP-2295, a teddy bear that gives miracle surgeries to anyone with a failing organ by knitting a patchwork replica of the affected organ, with the organ working like new when replaced.
    • The Tale When We Came Home which ends the setting. The Scarlet King dies and everyone in the entire multiverse earns their happy ending.
    • SCP-5094, a sapient character from an abandonware edutainment game, who helps her students learn extensively about any subject they please, and even provides companionship to lonely children.
  • Tofupupper, also known as Tofu-chan and Tobë, is perhaps the canine embodiment of this trope! He has all sorts of wholesome videos, from the silly, the strange, the uplifting, and even covers of iconic songs; it's hard to watch anything from him without smiling.
  • Motivational Lizard. This video, although crudely made, is a slideshow of an MS Paint-drawn purple lizard giving a comforting and reassuring speech to the viewer (although in all lowercase letters and Internet shorthand-style writing), complete with the uplifting "Outro" from Dream Pop band M83.
  • Lucas the Spider, a series of short videos about a little spider and his daily adventures that are cute enough to make even arachnophobes go "Awwww". Lucas' cheerful personality and child voice (provided by animator Joshua Slice's own nephew) will certainly be more than enough to win you over, if the big eyes don't do the trick.
  • The aptly named Sweet Dreams Fuel Tumblr. It hasn't been updated since 2013, but what IS there is guaranteed to cheer you up after even the saddest day.
  • "Caterpillar Shoes", a sweet little story about a caterpillar giving away his many pairs of shoes in preparation for his becoming a butterfly.
  • Teddy Kittens, a channel devoted entirely to kittens, and the adorably funny things they get up to.
  • Summoning Salt makes mini-documentaries about video game speedrunning. Though the subject matter can be quite tense, with the players being put under a lot of pressure to do everything perfectly, Summoning Salt's soothing voice and the Awesome Music he uses in his videos make them surprisingly soothing.
  • "r/GatekeepingYuri", this subreddit dedicated to turning mean-spirited Right Way/Wrong Way Pair memes into images of sweet, wholesome gay and lesbian couples.
  • From BoredPanda:
  • Cute Animals for When You are Stressed.
  • WholesomeMemes and RespectfulMemes, are Twitter accounts dedicated to posting Exactly What It Says on the Tin - memes that give you a Warm and Fuzzy Feeling every time you see them.
  • Now, when it comes to pages like this, Analog Horror is probably the last thing you'd expect to see, considering the...well...horror, but this is surprisingly averted (for the most part) in Angel Hare. Yes, there are some scary moments, like Angel Gabby possibly killing Jonah's abusive father and then making Jonah forget about him, but the series proper is about an adorable Guardian Angel guiding and comforting the protagonist Jonah, as well as helping him protect himself from his abusive father.
  • For those who aren't put off by it, the webcomic Boyfriends. is definitely this, being a feel-good romance comic with a cute artstyle and a refreshingly positive and realistic take on an all-male polyamorous relationship.
