** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003870 This needs no words.]
* Terezi lives completely alone in the woods and her only companions are stuffed dragons that she hangs in LARP sessions. Also, she's blind.
** [[Angst? What Angst?|She seems to take it all in a stride, though]].
** One of the reasons she prefers being blind? The day she went blind was the first time her lusus interacted with her.
* Karkat in a fit of arrogance ends up killing everyone's Custodian by setting off a program that curses him and everyone he's ever met. Their faces when they find their custodians though. That is what makes it a [[Tear Jerker]]. You never thought you'd see Gamzee so sad. Not to mention Karkat with an expression that ''isn't'' pure rage.
Line 97:
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005141 On second thought,] prototyping with Dream Jade was a really bad idea.
** You thought THAT was bad? The [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005142 two] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005143 pages] after. Oh... oh god.
** ...And then Jade [[Angst Dissonance|gets impatient and annoyed]], and just starts [[No
*** Want to make it even worse? Think about this: Jade and Jadesprite are variations on the same person, and the real Jade has seen all of the trauma that Jadesprite has and a lot more to go with it. So why isn't she having a massive breakdown too? Well, look at what she's calling Jadesprite - selfish and weak, accusing her of letting everyone down. Think about the implications there: she's probably going to hold her actual self to the same standards as her spriteself. In other words, she's [[Stepford Smiler|suppressing a FUCK of a lot of trauma]] - dying, losing half her life on Prospit, watching a Dave be killed (not permanently, but still horrifying), losing her guardian, blaming herself as the game becomes unwinnable, and being faced with an unbeatable murderous monster that could appear anywhere at any time - because she feels like if she freaks out over all of that, it's a despicable weakness and she's letting her friends down. That's an unreasonable expectation for an adult to have, and she's thirteen.
** To say nothing of Karkat making her realize how [[Not So Different]] she is from him in that scene.
Line 110:
*** [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005249 Karkat's reaction pretty much sums up the readers' feelings about what's just happened.]
*** Karkat's face stops being funny when you realise that he literally just stood and watched his friend being killed, too frozen in horror and fear to try and help. ''And that's probably the only reason he's even still alive.'' Bitter tears, let them flow.
*** Not only that, but Karkat's absolute [[Freak
* The recent death of Kanaya makes [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005203 this conversation] especially sad.

Line 187:
* In some of Mindfang's more recent journals I was wondering why Equius' ancestor was alone and why Nepeta's ancestor wasn't there with him. Then I went back to the [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005655 page where she's climbing the steps to his cave.] She throws an offhand remark of wondering of him believing SHE was worth it. Brings a whole new level to his moping around alone in a cave, doesn't it?
* Three words: [http://mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005688 The Seer dies.] Yes, her dream self is still alive probably, but... ROOOOOSE!!
** It also puts a different spin on her [[Self
** Also, Rose's body is likely going to be the first thing John sees when he wakes up. Think about that for a moment.
* Yay, two new albums up! Oh, hey look, an update: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005711 With as little fanfare, he seized the opportunity to follow the Thief's trail quickly before it dissipated, and destroyed their hideout in the veil.] --wait. Wait. What?
Line 231:
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005903 This] series of panels actually give us a huge amount of exposition into various... shenanigans. But the saddest part of it all is probably the emotions that Karkat is going through when he wrote this. This is probably also the first time he genuinely says sorry, and he does it with full emotion.
** I THINK I GAVE HIM CANCER. And then [[Tropers/Pro-Mole|my]] heart was wrenched.
* [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005940 After] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005941 strifing] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005942 Doc] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005943 Scratch] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005944 becomes] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005945 hopeless,] the imprisoned Handmaid feels [[Driven to Suicide]] (which she attempts by self-inflicted [[Electric Torture]]), [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005948 and] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005949 fails.] [[Fridge Horror|Which is worse,]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|the reason]] the Handmaid is held captive in a [[Gilded Cage]], the [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]] to [[Better to Die Than Be Killed|suicide]] after failing the [[Damsel Fight

{{quote| Doc Scratch: "Once, in this very universe, you could say, Alternia was home to a peaceful race. Trollkind had never known the corrupting influence in their evolution which led them to perpetual war and violence."<br />
Line 292:
* Oh, it must be Jack here to offer help taking down the queen, as his role in the game dictates, and Jane's going to be fi- [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006296 HUUUUUUSSSSIIIIEEEE!]
* When you really think about it, Vriska's POV section of Alterniabound is actually pretty sad, albeit self-inflicted, since it shows just how she managed to torpedo practically all of her relationships, especially with Kanaya, and has ''no clue'' what's really going on.
* Those last few seconds of [[Wham! Episode|the EOA]], where the fourth wall goes ''backwards'' through everything that happened to John before he started playing the game. It's just a huge blow to the heart that makes you remember where it all started and how far everyone has come.
* The first on-screen conversation between Roxy and Dirk. We already knew that Jane was distrusting of Roxy's claims, but one off-hand remark halfway through the pesterlog casts a whole new light on not only Roxy's frustrations but on her own character.
{{quote| TG: but it gets tiring and saddening<br />

TG: or about our upbringings<br />

** Also serves as a ''double'' [[Tear Jerker]]: [[Posthumous Character|R.I.P. Alpha Rose and Alpha Dave.]]
* Roxy and Dirk's conversation about their hypothetical children from the same conversation above, which is even sadder when you think about Rose and Dave and realise that Dirk isn't really all that wrong.
