What would make you cry. · 8:05pm Sep 20th, 2020
I'm talking about like something in a story? What would make you, as a reader, legitimately cry? For me have a very loved character die would be the best way to make me cry, or maybe something else tragic. Then again it doesn't have to be a sad cry it could be tears of joy, maybe seeing a character have a come back from a near defeat or even come back to life defying death it self.
Idk I want to hear what kinds of things could make you guys well up with tears while reading.

A really good slow burn romance legit makes me breakdown when it finally comes into fruition, it's a weakness of mine...
Being ripped away from a loving family, knowing you'll never get to see them again.

just examples of what made me cry
For MLP stuff the best tearjerker I’ve come across is The Keepers of Discord.
The one thing I can guarantee will get me to cry on command is the Les Miserables song A Little Fall of Rain.
Id say making me invested into the mc then killing him in a sad way
Something about losing someone close. Like a Simply Rarity, or Keepers of Discord.
Only one piece of literature has ever made me cry and that was where the red fern grows. That sort of detailing of sorrow and pain following the death of a loved one is your best bet.

Finally, a story I have read that I can get a good idea of what you mean. Yes, I think that is a good way of getting your readers to cry.
