Cry Into Chest: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

There are two main varieties. If the character whose shirt is being used as a handkerchief is male, the character crying will frequently be female, and the reason this situation is occurring is due to a height differential, [[One Head Taller|since men are on average taller than women]]. The point will be to accentuate the guy's stronger, more protective attributes. Frequently, the two are a couple, and in this case, it will serve as a sort of [[Cry Cute]].

 

{{examples}}

* Mikuru does this in the faux [[Dating Sim]] Yuki does in episode 25 of ''[[Haruhi-chan]]''.

* In the final scene of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|End of Evangelion]]'', {{spoiler|Shinji breaks down sobbing onto Asuka's chest. After attempting to strangle her.}}

* In ''[[Code Geass]]'', Lelouch cries into CC's chest after {{spoiler|shooting his half-sister Euphemia.}}

* Tsubaki does this to Black*Star after defeating her brother in ''[[Soul Eater]]''. Of course she's on her knees since she is taller.

* Erika of ''[[Heartcatch Precure]]'' suggests Yuri do that after she finds out why the then-former Precure acts like she does. Made funnier at the fact that ''she's'' the one flinging herself on ''Yuri's'' chest when she suggests it.

* Setsuna in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' does this to Asuna [http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-sensei-negima/343/15 for pages and pages] {{spoiler|when she finds out Asuna will be leaving to sleep for 100 years inside the Gravekeeper's Palace in order to save the [[Magical Land|Magic World]]}}.

* ''[[Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade]]''. {{spoiler|After realising she's going to be killed by Fuse, Kei begins to quote from ''[[Little Red Riding Hood]]'' (a reoccurring theme throughout the film), eventually throwing herself to Fuse's chest and crying out, "Mother, what big claws you have! Mother, what big teeth you have!" whereupon a distraught Fuse shoots her.}}

* In ''[[Saint Beast]]'', Maya does this to Judas after throwing a rock-shattering tantrum over Kira's plan to leave heaven on the day of the trial for the Saint Beast positions.

* In ''[[Cross Game]]'', {{spoiler|Aoba cries into Ko's chest after he gave her a big hug.}}

* Standard procedure for Mai from ''[[Popotan]]''. [[Promotion to Parent|Ai]] is the chest-provider.

 

* In the Disney film [[Treasure Planet]], Jim believes it is his fault that {{spoiler|Mr. Arrow was killed by being sucked into the black hole}}, prompting Silver, who knows it wasn't actually Jim's fault, to give him a pep talk in a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. Jim, who has begun to look up to Silver as the father he never had, puts his head against Silver's chest and cries into it. Silver is awkward at first, but then hugs him, telling him it's alright in one of the film's biggest [[Tear Jerker]] and heartwarming moments.

* Occurs in ''[[Night of the Blood Beast]]'', with a traumatically-resurrected astronaut crying into his wife's chest. Which, as [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Joel and the bots]] are quick to point out, gives him a faceful of her breasts.

* Shown in [[Barry Lyndon]], when the title character's friend is dying, after giving him the final kiss he requested, Barry collapses onto his chest, weeping.

* Parodied in ''[[Blazing Saddles]]'', when it's done with two guys, the crier being a [[Camp Gay]].

== [[Literature]] ==

* Katniss cries into Peeta's chest toward the end of the first book in ''[[The Hunger Games]]''. Notable because she had been fighting her emotions all throughout the book, because the situation was the ''one'' moment when she had to make the romance seem most genuine, and because they were ''on national TV''.

** The trailer for the [[Film of the Book]] shows Prim crying into Katniss' chest, an example of the "motherly" version of the trope (since Katniss essentially plays the role of mother in the Everdeen family).

 

 

* After being held hostage at gunpoint - [[The Woobie|on her first case back after]] [[Flashback Echo|taking a bullet to the stomach]] in the previous series finale - [[Inspector Lynley|DS Barbara Havers]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07pN5KHK268 goes a bit insane] and uses the man who held her hostage as a punching bag. Her partner-slash-[[Not Love Interest]] DI Lynley hauls her off the guy and manages to punch through her [[Flashback Echo]], whereupon she absolutely falls apart and [[Inelegant Blubbering|sobs hysterically]] into his shirt. [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|It was at about this point]] [[Most Important Person|that most of the unconvinced fanbase]] [[Fan-Preferred Couple|said "screw it" and began to ship them with abandon.]]

* In ''[[The X-Files]]'' episode 'Irresistible', Scully finally breaks down and cries in Mulder's arms after being rescued from a necrophiliac serial killer. It's actually an important moment of character development, since beforehand she made a point of not showing weakness in front of him.

** It happens again in "Deadalive" after Mulder {{spoiler|comes back from the dead and is in a coma.}}

* ''[[Doctor Who]]''. When the Doctor is apparently killed in ''Pyramids of Mars'', Sarah Jane Smith sobs into his chest, causing the [[Not Quite Dead]] Doctor to wake up and complain that she's shrinking his shirt.

* ''[[Skins]]'': Emily breaks down and cries into her father's chest after {{spoiler|she discovers Naomi has cheated on her.}} His comforting her is a huge [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], though, especially when you consider how unsupportive her whole family was of her being gay.

* ''[[Joan of Arcadia]]'' Adam cries into Joan's chest while watching {{spoiler|home videos of him with his mother, who committed suicide several years ago.}} Joan actually approached Adam and drew his head into her chest, so it was a "motherly" moment, but they're love interests.

* ''[[Burn Notice]]'' lampshades it in a voiceover in the pilot:

* At the end of the episode "Baelor" in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' (you know [[Wham! Episode|the one]]), Arya sobs into Yoren's chest as he forces her not to look when {{spoiler|her father is beheaded for treason}}. In this case, it's not romantic but an act of Yoren's respect for and loyalty towards her father and their family.

* Brennan does it on ''[[Bones]]'', crying into Booth's chest as she's trying to come to grips with the revelations about her family.

* In the ''[[NCIS]]'' episode "Swan Song", Ziva cries into Tony's chest in the elevator after {{spoiler|Frank dies}}. When the elevator doors open, McGee is comforting Abby, which leads to the four of them in a [[Group Hug]] in the elevator. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TVwK_S_Pjg Bring the tissue box.]

* From ''[[Flower Boy Ramyun Shop]]'' Eun Bi does this to {{spoiler|the image of her dead father after he dies}}, it's not until a little while later she realises it was Kang Hyuk.

 

 

* [[Mass Effect 2|Shepard]] can offer this option to Tali during her Loyalty Mission.

** Shepard can do the same for Liara during ''Lair of the Shadow Broker.''

* In ''[[Persona 4]]'' when Rise cries after finding out the fact that her [[Idol Singer]]-self Risette IS a part of her that she can't give up, the Protagonist is given the option to do this. Seeing as how doing it makes the Social Link romantic...
