Entries that make you go "Aww"

This one hits me a lot as someone who is of faith.

It is from A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.

The scene where Sissy, who's been desperate to have a child her whole life but who's been through ten stillbirths (one at age fifteen! ) instead, gives birth to her last child, at a point in her life when she's starting to get too old to get pregnant anymore. She's so sure that this time, this time, it's finally going to turn out right that she agrees to give birth in an actual hospital, something that no woman from her neighborhood has ever done. However, the child, when it's born, isn't breathing. And then, just when she's collapsing in resignation and completely devastated... "Then Sissy heard a word that she'd never heard before. She heard the word 'oxygen.' 'Quick! Oxygen!' The doctor said. And then Sissy witnessed a miracle that transcended all the miracles of all the saints she'd ever read about. She saw a dead child turned to living white. For the first time, she heard the cry of a child that she'd borne."

If you're gonna put something in spoiler mark up, at least warn what the spoiler is for.

I mean, I guessed accurately that it wouldn't be something I personally care about, but for others' sake.

The image on The Internet Is for Cats.

The image for Has Two Mommies, and the linked pic in the caption too.

The image on Small Parent, Huge Child is both this and "Entries that make you go "Lol"". Speaking of, congrats to PurpleEyedGuma for launching it.

Thanks!

Congrats!

The trope draft Ball Balancing Seal and its image.

There's a video on Cute Kitten titled "Litter of Kittens". Really, the title says it all.

Very good!

On Kumiko Watanabe:

Klonoa is proof of this.

Even if the trope is for when a story becomes Darker and Edgier, the girl in the page image for Cerebus Syndrome is cute.

The last line on Laconic.Vitriolic Best Buds.

Bump. This line from Salem's entry on Pantheon.Felines:

I love the idea of trying to be evil but still having a degree of kindness that prevents you from actually being evil. Wholesome semi-evil moment. Salem is a good kitty. XD

The Old Shame entry from Batman & Robin talks about the media backlash that Alicia Silverstone got for gaining weight during production and Joel Schumacher's response:

[...] the backlash grew to the point where Schumacher himself came to Silverstone's defense in interviews, at first genially ("What is this girl's big sin - that she ate some pizza?"), but soon stopped playing Mr. Nice Guy and accused the media of promoting eating disorders in young girls. 

Even if Schumacher had only made Batman & Robin (which he didn't, mind you), he'd still have my respect as a person for defending one of his actors from media attacks.

Remember the calendar Girl episode from Batman the Animated Series? it criticized the same of how even beautiful women end up feeling horrible and disgusting because the media won't stop criticizing the slightest imperfection in them.

Rest in peace, Joel.

Disregarding context^note Jenny’s buttering up her mom to not ground her for playing pranks around the city... which doesn’t work, the pic on Artificial Family Member is really cute.

"After Joel Schumacher passed away, Randy did a comic honoring him with a Take That! at the Batman fans who hate him."

Heartwarming, Something Positive.

The comic.

This Dub Name Change for Grim Matchstick on Characters.Cuphead Runaway Debtors:

"Terrible" may be fitting, but so is "Cute!"

This entry from Black Hawk Down:

Headbutt of Love: Non-romantic example. At the end of the movie, two Rangers who have just returned safely to their base do this as a sort of manly, utterly exhausted alternative to a hug. 

Of course, this last titbit also puts it on Entries That Make You Go "Lol":

In real life, when done with helmets on, this is known as "Turtle Fucking".

The page image for Good Stepmother. As well as the trope page as a whole.

It warms my heart... but its sad that the trope is so notable it isnt people sit on chairs.

The picture on Cartoon Penguin was something I didn't know I needed.

The page image for Small Parent, Huge Child.

Weren't nidoking and male nidoran purple?

Brawl In The Family is all in blue, except on special occasions.

• In Kamichu!, Yurie has to find the couple who once were regular visitors of a now-abandoned beach - and later she finds out that they are her own parents. The sweetest part is when she transfers her divine power to them by kissing them on their foreheads.
  • What about episode 15, probably the most heartwarming episode in a series made of nothing BUT heartwarming, cute, and fluffies. On Valentine's Day, THE ENTIRE TOWN, humans and gods, apparently all know about Yurie's crush on calligraphy club-president Ken-chan (except for Ken-chan) and all of them, particularly the women-folk, support her and help her to confess her love to him on the big day. Yurie's friends help her make chocolate; on her way to school, she has old ladies wishing her luck and telling her to do her best; her classmates subtly gossip around Ken-chan about how cute, helpful, and popular Yurie is; Mitsue and Tama bring Yurie the chocolate when she forgets. When Yurie approaches Ken-chan on the roof she gives him the chocolate and admits that she always loved him, and asks him out. Ken-chan exclaims "So that was it! Why didn't I realize it before?" He writes the calligraphy for LOVE with a mop on a giant piece of paper and says that he just realized he loves Yurie too. Then Yurie's kamichu powers kick in and they fly through the air on the sheet of paper that says LOVE like a magic carpet.
