Sweet Dreams Fuel (Sugar Wiki): Difference between revisions

{{Sugar Wiki}}

 

 

 

 

Highly recommended to drop by this page if you've been over at [[Nightmare Fuel]] and plan on sleeping.

 

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0 The World Is Just Awesome.] An ad... for the world, adventure, innovation, science, happiness, and life.

** And the [[Discovery Channel]].

 

* A lot of the works of [[Osamu Tezuka]] are full of Sweet Dreams Fuel, especially ''[[Astro Boy]]'' and ''[[Unico]]''. However, his work tends to have just as much of [[Nightmare Fuel|the other side]] as well.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. Any moment that shows Evangeline [[The Woobie|isn't really as evil as she wants people to think]], and any of the goofing-off arcs (especially the Summer arc right after Mahorafest).

** Any scene with Osaka in it. Yes, even the [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant|creepier ones]]. If you think she isn't adorable, you're either lying or you haven't seen enough of her personality yet.

*** "Do you like Taiyaki pastries, Chiyo-chan?"

** A single chapter, any chapter, in the evening is enough to make the day better. The publication of a new chapter makes my week.

* ''[[Bottle Fairy (anime)|Bottle Fairy]]'' (no, not ''[[Bottle Fairy|her]]''!)

** Speak for yourself. This troper has had many sweet dreams about [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Misato Katsuragi.]]

* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. I love it ''because'' it's cute. Both the manga and anime just make me feel so gooey inside.

** Unfortunately, [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|the flashbacks]] of the [[Darker and Edgier]] sequel make it much harder to enjoy the simple happiness of the lighthearted original. Damn you, CLAMP! Damn you to ell

*** Mind you the {{spoiler|original couple only made an appearance to help Tsubasa's Sakura and Syaoran, they aren't related (well not by blood anyways)}}

* [[Girl Friends]]! The [[Gayngst]] and [[Will They or Won't They?]] may be agonizing at times, but that only makes every little moment Mari and Akko have together sweeter.

* Although ''[[Mushishi]]'' has its moments of [[Nightmare Fuel]], its overall effect is incredibly relaxing, especially Travis Willingham's dub work as Ginko.

* The first three episodes of [[There She Is]].

* The ending of [[Prétear]]. {{spoiler|Everyone lives happily ever after. The villain is not defeated, but [[Love Redeems|redeemed]], and even she gets to live happily ever after with the man who loved her enough to die for her.}}

* In [[Dragonball Z]], the Cell Game saga fillers. It wasn't a particularly [[Nightmare Fuel]] type show, but it wasn't particularly light hearted through most of it. It's just before the Cell Games and everyone's just having a hell of a time before the fight to save the world. Something about it is just... heartwarming. It's the main reason why I could stand those fillers. Yes, even the fight scenes that were in there were good too.

* When ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' isn't making you laugh from the sheer ridiculousness of its melodramatic comedy, it's warming your icy heart by devoting episodes to reuniting couples torn apart by circumstance or showing just how much the other hosts actually care about Haruhi at the end of the day.

**** [[Take a Third Option|Why not both?]]

***** Just thinking about that show is enough to brighten my day!

* ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'', a [[Slice of Life]] movie about a loving family consisting of two young sisters, an attentive father, and a mother who is sick in the hospital (but getting better). And the furry, friendly supernatural critters the girls befriend.

* ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]''. An adorable young witch in a wonderful coming-of-age story, ''three'' loving mother characters, a surprising and beautiful change of pace when Kiki spends the night with Ursula, [[Scenery Porn]] worthy of the Louvre, and a heroic rescue at the end. And a cat romance. The whole movie is like the cup of hot coffee/chocolate Osono gives Kiki when they meet.

* ''[[Ponyo]]''. One of the few times I walked out of a theater actually feeling uplifted.

** Oh, heck, *any* of the [[Studio Ghibli]] films which are aimed at children are this.

* Despite the characters living in something of a nasty, dangerous world, what makes ''[[One Piece]]'' good is that it's still full of [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]] of all kinds. It's loaded with [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|positively warm and fuzzy]] scenes. And you always come out of reading it feeling NO ONE is alone, and that your true friends will care about, protect, and stay by your side no matter what, and that miracles happen and nothing is really impossible.

** You will have trouble finding something more awesome and uplifting than {{spoiler|Luffy beating the ever-loving snot out of Arlong and ending the battle by breaking his base ''in half with one kick''.}} * sniff* So awesome...

** I take the Arlong arc and raise you the Water 7/ Enie's Lobby arc. Even though it has a lot of depressing parts, it also has the appearance of Sogeking, Luffy going 'LEEE-ROOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINS!' on {{spoiler|Enie's Lobby}} and {{spoiler|''declaring war on the World Government to prove he won't abandon one of his crew''}}. [[Taco Ninja|This one]] cheered. One Piece is very good at taking all the depressing moments and turning them into Crowning Moments of Awesome.

** This troper literally has had ''[[One Piece]]'' be sweet dream fuel! She had the awesomest dream of her life the night she finished reading the manga.

* ''[[Sket Dance]]''. The friendships. The endless and unique humor. The adorable characters. The endlessly cute and heartwarming relationship between Bossun and Himeko. This manga WILL make your day better.

* ''[[Haibane Renmei]]''. There's something about Rakka waking up and seeing everyone else just smiling at her that warms this troper's heart.

* ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]''. The two sisters, the weird neighbor, the innocent girl and the British girl who can't speak English. There's a laugh in almost every scene with this group.

** For that matter, what about the ending of the manga, after {{spoiler|Tohru and Kyo hook up? Folks pair up with the people they've been in love with, the Zodiac curse is broken so they ''can'' show affection, we see that Kyoko was reunited with her husband in the afterlife, Akito is able to move on, and Tohru and Kyo end up [[Happily Married]].}}

* ''[[Manabi Straight!]]''. Seeing everyone work together to make the school festival a reality is just so [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heart-warming]].

* [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] cheers this troper up whenever he feels down. Some series just make you feel better to be alive.

** Nia. Getting a [[Tropers/Avatar Sango|troper]] who pretty much hates [[Moe Moe|Moe]], and getting him to like a character just because of HOW DAMN ADORABLE she is. She is made of d'awwww and [[Squee]]!

* The main turn-off factor of ''[[Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh]]'' to mainstream mecha fans is ''this'', and inversely is a turn-on to [[Ladycoffee|this troper]]. Those adorable kids, while not diabetes-inducing sweet, are an antithesis to the [[Kids Are Cruel]] truism that pervades today's media. Their everyday interactions, both on and off the battlefield, just makes me wanna go awwwww.

* Together With Master, a one-shot shoujo-ai Manga that has a lot of sweetness to it without being [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Diabetic]]. The twist in the ending helps take the edge off some of that sweetness.

** Would that make it Consensual [[Mind Screw]]?

*** I'd say more like Mind-Lovemaking.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTwQrpyRhxE&feature=related This image song]. The image songs for the girls also bring a smile.

* Anytime a ''[[Code Geass]]'' character does anything genuinely sweet or romantic. Also, anytime Lelouch actually smiles for real (and any fanart that shows him doing so counts as well). And, any (non-violent) scene of any character(s) as a child/children!

* The ending of ''[[Kaleido Star]]'' (the first season)

* Every episode of ''[[Sketchbook]]'' is [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] and relaxing. And then the [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarity]] goes up to eleven once [[Funny Foreigner|Kate]] shows up.

* ''[[Minami-ke]]'' deserves mention, a funny and cute series involving the love of three sisters and their daily lives in their own schools and as a family. Full of funny moments and heartwarming moments as well.

* While [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] has its darker moments, the show simply has such strong themes of forgiveness, second chances and acceptance that it ultimately becomes this.

* The ending to the final episode of [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai]] is extremely sweet and fluffy. [[Nightmare Fuel|The rest of]] [[Tear Jerker|the series, however...]]

** All the [[Nightmare Fuel]] that happened ''before'' just makes the ending all the sweeter. Two words: {{spoiler|July First.}}

* ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' may be a dark and violent manga, but Lacie, the nostalgic melody from the pocketwatch is definitely Sweet Dreams Fuel. And this series is heavily based on ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' and ''Through the Looking-Glass'', after all, so the whole thing gives me a happy, nostalgic feeling.

* ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'', otherwise known as [[The Power of Love]] meets [[Character Development]]. Seeing the ways that the characters slowly grow and mature makes the happy ending feel so *right*.

** But that picture has [[Cute Ghost Girl|Fu]][[Tear Jerker|ko]]...

* [[Chobits]]. Some parts of the series are admittedly [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|very]] [[Contemplate Our Navels|serious]] (and, well, perverted), but most of it is the adorable antics of cute robot girls and a couple of intertwining love stories. What really makes it [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]], though, is the atmosphere: the visuals are soft, pretty, and mostly pastel-colored, and the soundtrack alternates between sugary-sweet and soothingly peaceful.

* ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' has always been this for this troper.

* While it starts out (and doesn't stop) with [[Nightmare Fuel]], ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' as a whole (especially the [[Happily Ever After]] in the manga and ''Brotherhood'') has a very uplifting message that you'll find yourself repeating when you feel like nothing's going your way:

* [[Mahoraba]] is a funny, heartwarming and strangely weird [[Slice of Life]] where every chapter is guaranteed to make you go "D'awwwww!" at least once. The characters are all absolutely [[Moe Moe|adorable]] and the ending wraps everything up like a big hug in a warm sweater.

* ''[[A Little Snow Fairy Sugar]]'' certainly qualifies. The night I began watching the show, I literally dreamed that Saga was playing my favorite songs on her piano with Sugar right next to me.

* [[One Piece]]. I mean just look at the Straw Hat Crew, especially Luffy, Usopp and Chopper. Not to mention the extremely flamboyent world they travel through and the people they meet. You know what else? People communicate through colorful talking snails known as Den Den Mushis.

* ''[[Ristorante Paradiso]].'' Yes, it's a show about a damn near [[Mary Suetopia]] of a restaurant. Yes, said restaurant is called [[Tastes Like Diabetes|"Cottage of the Bear."]] But it's so sweet and nice that eventually you give in and get your sugar addiction on. My particular favorite episodes are the birthday parties of one of the chefs' son and the owner's wife.

 

* ''The Toon Treasury of Classic Children's Comics'' is pure, unleaded Sweet Dreams Fuel from start to finish. Loaded with over 60 classic comics from a large variety of artists (some of whom were even [[The Golden Age of Animation|Golden Age animators!]]) binded in a pseudo-classic book like fashion. The stories feature lovely artwork and stories handpicked by industry veterans like Art Spielgelmen (who you might know as the creator of the [[Nightmare Fuel|not-so-sweet dreams fuel]] ridden comic [[Maus]])--stories that they feel are worthy enough to be read by the children of today.

* There is also the Craig Yoe book ''The Golden Collection of Krazy Kool Klassic Kids' Komics'', which also has a large variety of comics from many classic artists. The story selection isn't quite as impressive as the Toon Treasury book, but it's still a worthy addition to any classic comic enthusiasts collection, a fun read for any age, and just as loaded with sweet dreams fuel.

* ''The Complete Milt Gross'' is yet another excellent collection from Craig Yoe, featuring a plethora of hilarious stories from one of the best comic artists of the 30's and 40's! The artwork is hilarious bizarre and full of energy, and Milt's slang and witty dialogue, as well as his funny cast of characters made this ideal for someone who wants a little more spice in their sweet dreams fuel.

* ''Mickey and the Gang: Classic Stories in Verse'' is a truly excellent, LARGE book loaded with classic Disney comics, Good Housekeeping magazine poems represented with beautiful hand-painted illustrations, and is crammed to the bursting point with trivia and information on Classic Disney. Great to read to your kids before bed, and a true treat for any fan of Classic Disney.

* Pretty much ''any'' comic made by [[Winsor McCay]] will fall into this, but his legendary ''[[Little Nemo]]'' comics take the cake.

* ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' is pure sweet dreams fuel from start to finish, loaded with great artwork, truly imaginative stories, and some of the richest, funniest characters to ever grace the comics page.

* The chibi Endless from [[Sandman]] and spin-off comics. This troper owns a set of figurines of them. They live on her desk and watch over her sleep in their cuteness.

* ''[[Tiny Titans]]'': Aw yeah, Tiny Titans! If you're depressed by the team's sky-high body count and the book's downward spiral, please check out this book. Who ever thought Trigon could be even remotely adorable?

* Every scene in ''[[The Sandman]]'' where [[Don't Fear the Reaper|Death]] shows up is this. Yes, even though she's ''Death''.

 

* Also [http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/268/8/9/890c6881b4f573a0352618320fdd5ca3-d4axs62.jpg this], though it may actually creep/gross out some.

 

* [[Alfonso Cuaron]]'s ''[[A Little Princess]]'', [[Tear Jerker|HEART Jerking]] not withstanding.

* Am I weird if I include ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' here? Because I think the characters are just adorable.

* Try, just ''try'', to watch Sigur Rós' homecoming-tour documentary [[Heima]] without wanting to move to Iceland and just bask in a sea of etheral post-rock, cable-knit sweaters, and geological anomaly forever.

* Pretty much any Pixar movie. If you can watch one all the way through without smiling at least once, then you have no soul.

*** Well, he has said that not one of his lines actually made it into the final film; his one real contribution is the character of Rex.

** ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' is ''literal'' [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]], by the end.

** ''[[The Lion King]]'': "It's the circle of life."

** ''[[Bambi]]''. Do I even need to say why?

 

* ''Spring-Heeled Jack'', a half-graphic, half-novel about Victorian London's Batman as he rescues scruffy orphans [[Orphan's Plot Trinket|with trinkets]] and takes on Mack the Knife himself, wittily and with great aplomb. When [[Philip Pullman]] does sweet, he ''does sweet''.

** If you think about the fact that Spring-Heeled Jack is a semi-folkloric character more like a fire-breathing, failure-prone rapist than a dispensory of vigilante justice.

** Arguably also ''The Cat Who Wished to be a Man''. It's a very innocent outlook on humanity, and while some of it is depressing and [[Nightmare Fuel|frightening]], there are enough genuinly witty or sweet moments to make it worth it.

* ''14,000 things to be happy about'' by Barbara Ann Kipper. It's [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|exactly what it says on the cover]].

** Even just reading the books aloud is wonderful! Nothing is as adorable as reading about Pooh describing the lunch he packed while a series of little pictures show him packing said lunch.

* ''[[Paddington Bear (novel)|Paddington Bear]]''. You will never look at marmalade without a nostalgic smile ever again. Kind of like when you open a jar a Play-Doh.

* [[Dinotopia]]. Especially the very first one. A [[Utopia]] of poets, writers, artists, and scientists? With friendly dinosaurs? Brilliantly illustrated? Oh yes.

* ''[[The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou]]'' is like a happy, magical fairytale for grownups. Its whimsy and wonder are childlike without completely distancing oneself from adulthood.

* Connie Willis's ''[[Bellwether]]'' and ''[[To Say Nothing of the Dog]]''. Particularly the second - all her trademark screwball-comedy dialogue, a charming homage to Victorian and Edwardian literature, and even in the darker bits, there's a sense that everything will turn out OK. Also, fluffy kittens.

** Pretty much everything by Wodehouse, really.

* No matter how dark and depressing it can be, ''[[Harry Potter]]'' is this, at least for this troper. For the nostalgic reasons, and for the "I wish I lived in this world" feeling everyone gets.

* As mentioned in the Films section, Death from [[Discworld]] is absolutely adorable- he doesn't quite understand humans, but he finds them extremely fascinating, and, in the end, he really ''cares'' about people, working hard to protect them from the Auditors.

 

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]''. Brightly colored sets, fantastic clothing, impeccably witty dialogue, and amazing acting. Should rightly [[Tastes Like Diabetes|taste like diabetes]], but somehow everything works out in its favor (even the combination of the sweetness of Ned and Chuck and gruesome murders).

* ''[[Gilmore Girls]]''. The love that the mother and daughter have for each other, and not only that, even with all the troubles, Stars Hollow and the Gilmores are good people inside they hearts..

** It's more than that. It just perfectly encapsulates childhood, period, with a healthy dose of exaggeration. All the problems that seem petty looking back are displayed with outrageous importance, blown up to proportions that by all logic should seem too absurd to take seriously, but the characters are so genuine and their reactions so familiar and close to home that the lengths the conflicts are taken to seem justifiably as important now as they were then. The show takes you back to how it felt to search desperately for a missing [[Ear Worm]] or how unfair curfews seemed or how the local bully acted like a [[Complete Monster]]. But with that you get how it felt to have a crush, or end a fight with a friend, or do something nice for someone, or even just to relax. This show is an epic, feel-good tribute to what it means to be a kid and have fun without tasting like diabetes for a single moment. ''And'' it makes you laugh. So, yeah, perfect.

* "[[The Facts of Life|You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have....]]"

* "[[Family Ties]]" is definitely sweet dreams fuel for anyone who was a child in the 1980s.

** Also the relationships between Spencer and Carly, and Sam and Carly. Whilst most of the show isn't especially heartwarming, the 3 major relationships, Spencer/Carly, Carly/Sam and Freddie/Carly are a heartwarming core of warm fuzziness.

* ''[[The Joy of Painting]]'' with Bob Ross. There is a reason all the trees are happy!

* [[Doctor Who|Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call...everybody lives.]]

** The ending of ''Vincent and the Doctor''. [[Tear Jerker|That]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|is all.]]

*** What about the 2011 Christmas special's ending, when the Doctor arrives at {{spoiler|the Ponds?}}

** What about {{spoiler|Amy and Rory's wedding? Everything about that day is perfect, from her parentsly beinng brought back to reality, to Amy and Rory being happy and safe and able to be together, to the Doctor dancing like a loon to the three of them riding off in the TARDIS together.}}

** Near the end of the finale for season six, the scene where {{spoiler|River goes home to Amy and Rory's place, and Amy's whoops of joy when she finds out the Doctor's alive.}}

* The entire show which has taught whole generations of people that a hero is a slightly barmy alien with a screwdriver who is a huge fan of our planet. Even his ship thinks we're bigger on the inside.

 

* [[Bowling for Soup]]. Especially [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz-ob6JmYUM Shut Up and Smile] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXhgfQSkEZ4&feature=related I'm Gay]. Just something about songs like these makes it impossible not to smile.

* Heartbeats by José González. Nuff said.

* This troper finds all of [[Joanna Newsom]]'s music incredibly soothing, particularly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NySQiCamNK4&feature=related Cassiopeia]. It's about going to sleep- literal [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]]!

* Every second of the Sailor Moon Orgel Fantasia CD. Princess Moon and Tuxedo Mirage sound like two of the worlds greatest lullabyes.

* Pretty much every song from Sunbears. Like here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICDRGDYaTi0&feature=related Dream happy dreams]

* "A Pillow Of Winds" from Pink Floyd.

* [[Ludo]] has a number of genuinely sweet, wonderful songs- I dare you to listen to ''Anything for You'' or ''Manta Rays'' without getting the warm fuzzies.

 

* The whole idea of [http://www.dailysquee.com The Daily Squee]. Baby animals with bells on!

* [http://www.youtube.com/user/LoveScottishFold This Youtube channel] dedicated to the uploader's cat.

 

* Reading just one panel of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' takes me right back to being six years old and reading the collections with my grandfather.

** Same for this troper, but with my older sister.

** Yes. C and H is awesome.

* ''Frazz'' is one of the cleverest strips being published today, and frequently gives the warm fuzzies besides!

 

 

* ''Almost, Maine'' when it isn't being a [[Tear Jerker]].

 

* Roll's theme song "Kaze yo Tsutaete". it makes you feel warm and happy inside just listening to the cute singing voice of Yoshino Aoki, especially the Japanese version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

* [[Pikmin]] 2: The cynical ideas aside, in Captain Olimar's notes about a certain treasure you pick up, he ''describes how he choreographed a musical'' in which his pikmin danced and sang on top of the 'podium' that this treasure was perceived to be.

*** Bring on the cavities, then!

** Try ''Yoshi's Story'', then. Eat fruit. Listen to happy music. Look at pretty pictures. <3!

*** And then Link gets attacked, and Yoshi just wanders up, still half-asleep, with an air that says, "Hey bro, what's goin' on over here? Oh, is that all? Cool, I'll give yez a hand."

* [[Hamtaro|Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak]], the adorable characters and the entire premise of helping bring the couples together, not to mention the "Duets" song

** Let's push it up to [[Kirby]] in general, at least when you're not facing bleeding eyeballs.

*** Even then, you can take comfort in the idea that the abominations can, in fact, be defeated.

** Kirby is so good at this that the usually manic [[Keet]] [[Let's Play|Medibot]] was incredibly mellow in his LP of Crystal shards.

* [http://www.k2xl.com/games/boomshine/ Boomshine]! Good luck getting your time back.

** Ah dun dun dikadika dun dika dun dun... The [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|soundtrack]] is definitely what makes this one break the Happy Meter. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfDnaDU13ZU DISCO* PRINCE] is awesome driving music, Katamari Star is both happy AND melancholy, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mArIZZmDhUY Walking On A Star] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuAEzTahg9o Fugue #7777] make me smile and giggle EVERY DAMN TIME I HEAR EITHER, and I have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UABf1vJGTs8 Beautiful Star] for an alarm.

** Katamari Damacy is essentially a direct antidote to the horrors of the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' series. It's the polar opposite!

** This game is made of the cotton candy from your childhood.

** It has kind of a {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]] where you have to let Pikachu back into the wild, but Pikachu comes right back and the game continues forevermore}}. After, again, the cutest credits sequence ever. ''Pikachu sings you a song''.

* Florina and Serra's A support in ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Rekka no Ken''. Florina's declaration of admiration and friendship is so sweet it renders Serra speechless beyond simply "Aww...Florina!"

* [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Chao Garden]], specially the Sonic Adventure 2 version, with the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYwc_6Wy-kE overly cute song] playing during your stay.

** Especially notable with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJQWznwtO5w&fmt=18 Minit]. Everything about her is cute, including the song she's in. Even her miss animation (in which she cries) and her "stage failed" animation (in which she cries and needs her brother Timer to comfort her) are cute.

* ''[[Loco Roco]]'' Just... [[Loco Roco]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfDr9eD7wKY&fmt=18 Look at the cute rolling smiley face blobs roll to the music is the brightest, happiest place ever!]

** The sequel's good ending also qualifies. {{spoiler|Eleanor is free. Delta's nightmarish existence finally ends, and he will continue to live within his beloved Little Sister / daughter. And Eleanor is going to teach to the Little Sisters he saved to be good persons, just like his daddy taught her to be. Even Lamb, who for the whole game has been trying to kill you, is given a second chance at life, and will instead be a better person than she ever was.}} Awwww...

* ''The Legendary Starfy'' <3! He's so cute and loveable and Kirby-like and has an even cuter sister to boot. The game is adorable.

* [[Cat Planet]] [[Cat Planet]] [[Cat Planet]]!

* [[Flower]]. Just... just Flower. For the most part.

** Not just that, but it turns out more than just music is [[Memetic Mutation|overri]]'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot-0-KyPd0Y TROMBE!]''' Seriously, how can you stay in a sad mood with that [[Ear Worm|lodged in your ear]]?

** If you add this unrelated [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpo9_5HIHTQ music] from [[Virtual On]] Force... Holy shit!! Even more of a [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]] for both game series!!! Imagine all the heroes making a victory march together in space after defeating the ultimate force of evil!!!

* [[Robot Unicorn Attack|Robot. Unicorn. Attack]].

* The soundtrack to [[Ristar]] -yeah, you were on your way to take down the evil empire, but some of the music really made you feel everything would be OK by the end of the adventure. (Ristar's little "waiting" animations and the pictures during the end credits helped to drive that point home.) It would be great to dream about exploring planets [[Underwater Ruins|2]], [[Band Land|4]] and [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|5]].

** Admittedly it has a lot of Nightmare Fuel too.

* The first ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' is this... when it's not too busy being [[Kingdom Hearts/Nightmare Fuel|Accidental Nightmare Fuel]].

* Servbots! Whether from ''The Misadventures of Tron Bonne'' or [[Capcom vs. Whatever|Marvel vs Capcom 2]], you just can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy when these guys are around. Even when they're [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87z8iYtA5vI&feature=related beating up manly men.]

* ''[[Braid]]''. [[Mood Whiplash|The]] [[Nightmare Fuel|first]] [[True Art Is Angsty|half]].

* [[King's Quest]] games have a fair amount of [[Nightmare Fuel]], [[Everything Trying to Kill You]], and [[Guide Dang It]]...but if you reach the [[Golden Ending]]? They are a banquet of sweet dreams.

* The [[Golden Ending]] to ''[[Final Fantasy X]]-2''.

* The turret opera at the end of [[Portal 2]], the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtAXSyFCWXY translated lyrics are so sweet].

** Seconded.

 

* ''[[Question Duck]]'', a [[Web Comic]], is about a [[A Boy and His X|boy and his duck]] that goes around the world as Question Duck asks questions. General duck adorableness plus [[Scenery Porn]] just makes me squee whenever I see a new update.

* ''[[Count Your Sheep]]''. A webcomic about a young girl, her widowed mother, and the imaginary friend they share that helps out in the event of insomnia. Both funny and cute.

* [[A Moment of Peace]], despite its [[After the End]] setting, is one huge lump of this trope.

 

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0wEYtmmuFQ Cute Explosion.]

* Go to any image-sharing site and search "kiss_chart" or "kiss chart". Either adorableness and/or eroge ensue.

* Any ''[[Touhou]]'' fanart drawn by [http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=eijima_moko Eijima Moko].

* 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 [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesomely]] [[Ear Worm|catchy]] music and the insanely quotable humor, and you've got something [[Catch Phrase|totally awesome]]. I [[A Very Potter Musical|lessthanthree]] all of those Starkids out there. :)

* The story [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Love Love.]

 

* ''[[Futurama]]'' - great show, lots of moments that are [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]], but there's something about the theme song that just puts a smile on my face every. single. time.

** The theme song was so innovative, it [[Executive Meddling|almost didn't make it]] onto the show. The ''[[Futurama]]'' theme is based on "Psyché Rock", one of the more accessible compositions by ''musique concrète'' progenitor Pierre Henry. In that context, however, it's possible for music to be relatively accessible yet [[True Art Is Incomprehensible|almost devoid of melody]]. (To be fair: both pieces somehow have a melody, despite being based almost entirely on percussion.)

* [[Phineas and Ferb|Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!]]

* Y'know what? I ''love'' ''[[My Little Pony|My Little Pony 'n' Friends]]''. It makes me happy when I'm down. [[The Movie]] and the original special are the best--[[Ear Worm|Call Upon the Sea Ponies]] and [[Ear Worm|Nothing Can Stop the Smooze]] and witches being punished by eating ice cream and light triumphing over dark...

*** [http://youtu.be/qqo53-pNxsE?hd=1 Are you proud to be a Brony?]

*** Especially heartwarming is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTF7_Sh2poM this MLP:FIM marriage proposal video.] Now, two bronies will live happily ever after, all because of ponies.

* Ding-A-Ling Wolf from ''[[Hokey Wolf]] ''cartoons is just made of [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]].

* ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]''. Just, ''Winnie the Pooh''.

* ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]''. It's a sweet and funny show with sweet and funny characters. Pretty much every character's really cute.

* ''Chowder''. Especially the finale. Try not to d'awwwww at Scraps. I dare you.

* ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'' is the Sweet Dreams Fuel Unleaded. Colorful, multi-styled, and funny at times.

** Or if June sings.

** Or if Race Rabbot appears. C`mon, he's a little animatronic (but very realistic) bunny! So cute!!!!

* Mina and The Count, hailing from [[What a Cartoon Show]], was made up almost entirely of this trope.

* If it can be considered western, anything animated by [[Rankin Bass]]. It just leaves you with a fuzzy feeling, the kind reserved for great and memorable Christmases.

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. This troper never fails to tear up because of the great memories it brings back. It was adorable, funny, and had wonderful lessons most of the time.

* Although it only lasted 2 seasons (due to its poor time slot), ''[[Mission Hill]]'' is perhaps one of the funniest animated cartoons you'll ever see. Just watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrU8mSCVKK4 this clip] to see what I mean.

* ''[[Doug]]'' is one of the funniest and sweetest shows this troper has seen.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EURF2PlIqtE Perils of Love] [[Slap Slap Kiss]] never was so adorable.

* Classic-era ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]] & Friends''.

* ''Bagpuss''. Of all Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate's "small worlds", this may be the sweetest and most comforting. The songs will instantly transport Brits of a certain age back to their childhoods.

* The Pre-pieman 2003 [[Strawberry Shortcake]] series qualifies. Nothing too scary ever occurs in the show and it and episodes always end on a high note.

* [[PB and J Otter|PB&J Otter]]. Just PB&J Otter. It's from the same minds that brought us Doug!

** It's full of monsters, but most of them either turn out to be ''[[Ugly Cute]]'' or far too rediculous to be even remotely scary.

*** Grim's the freakin' ''[[Grim Reaper]]'' and even HE'S adorable.

* The [[Popples]] will make you smile! It's cute and funny, too!

* On the subject of this trope, Maurice [[La Marche]], Puzzle's voice actor, hated his time working on this show because he said it was so cute he felt like "vomiting after every recording session".

And that's not mentioning the almost-permanent ":D" almost all of them seem to have and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adnzzeXM5Ro bouncy, bouncy, bouncy excitement that they get into].

** Why limit this entry to corgis? Let's give domestic dogs in general some credit. It's a furry creature which is almost always happy to see you, and it loves being smothered with affection.

** Psh. [http://i.imgur.com/jrem5.jpg Shelties] > Corgis. They have that facial expression *all the time* and also they [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7KHu41U5c breakdance.]

* A litter of kittens, old enough to chase each other madly about. Running wildly around, stopping for pets at random moments, and then dropping into a kittenpile until they recharge for more of the same. The purr of a happy kitten is one of the sweetest sounds this troper can think of.

** Although [[Scrubs|side effects may include allergies, tiny scratches]], [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|and erectile dysfunction]].

*** When kittens open their eyes for the first time. I saw my friend's kittens do this for the first time when I was about seven. It was simply heartwarming.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHkDQP4cC0w Story of kitten], a recap/"best-of" montage of 99 previous videos about a cat named Fuchagi whose owner found him on the back of his truck as a small kitten, and adopted him as his own.

* Mom's [http://www.popularcookierecipes.com/Chocolatechip.html cookies]. Especially freshly made after a bad day.

* Hugs. Whether you're in a bad mood or a good mood. For this troper, bonus points if they're from behind.

** It's psychologically proven--the contact lowers your blood pressure and raises oxytocin levels (the literal "warm and fuzzy feeling"). That must have been the '''best scientific experiment ever'''.

* Any pothole to [[Sincerity Mode]].

* [http://www.storypirates.org/ The Striking Viking Story Pirates] perform skits and songs based on stories by elementary school students to promote literacy and creativity. The idea itself is pretty sweet, and the results can be very funny and entertaining, but the most heartwarming pieces they've put up on youtube would be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyy6ATQsXb4 I Love You The Best] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui7seCPygnk Troll], as well as pretty much anything involving [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7L35wiaqEQ their Rollo puppet interacting with the authors].

* Pet rats. Imagine a big, hyperactive mouse that can rest in a scarf and eat practically any human food from pasta to hamburgers. Now realize that this animal has little rounded ears & beady little eyes. Now think of the fact that you can take this critter on a walk around your house, teach it to recognize words, and often give mischievous, playful grins as they scamper about you, each other, and your furniture. In fact, Rupert Grint ''adopted Scabbers after filming because rats can be That. Damn. Cute.''

** The fact that people loved the Hubble and its images so much that they pressured the NASA management to get it repaired again and take MORE pictures is like self-perpetuating [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]].

* A kiss. On the lips, cheek, hand, forehead, it can be just the thing you need to feel how much you are loved by friends and family.

* [http://i45.tinypic.com/2zf8i0y.jpg This mother hen] doing what she does best. DAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW.

* [http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1375/541401285_1770fa26dc.jpg Hamsters, Hamsters, fluffy little hamsters]!! These things exist to be cute! If you look at this and dont smile, say 'Awwwww!' or feel happy, something IS wrong with you. No exceptions.

* Cities. Something about these testaments to [[Humans Are Special|humanity's creative power]] gives me hope for the future.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv0wc_vg8w8 This puppy] and it's whistle. It makes you realize that the good things in life are sometimes the smallest.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ESpapSjrwY Foals] Everything about them, with their small knobby little legs and their little hobble walk. So cute.

* Going to a natural history museum as an adult, looking at all of the dinosaur displays, and getting flashes of that "Dinosaurs are/were really big and really cool!" sense of wonder and awe from when you were a child. Even better if you can watch actual children demonstrating it with big smiles on their faces.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5I5H7EeC8k The porcupine who thinks he's a puppy!]

* Maine Coons! The [[Gentle Giant]] of cat breeds. Plus they are very talkative and love to snuggle up to their owners whenever they can.

** Birman cats are also giant fluffs of cute! They are known for their docile nature, enjoying spending time with humans and other pets and just have great, relaxed personalities in general, let alone their beautiful blue eyes and their gorgeous fluffy coats! And their white little paws! And! AND! [http://www.pictures-of-cats.org/images/birman-Gianluca-Neri-1.jpg Bwah! Just SO cute!]

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlxPp0vAniY It's good in ASL, too.]

* Rain. For me personally, I love walking out in the rain and feeling it on my skin. Even just listening to it from inside is very soothing.

* The feeling of belonging. Especially after being the loner for so long, it's delightful and amazing to feel part of a group.

** I imagine for a lot of people - conventions and other fan events. There is nothing like this. The first time this troper went to an LGBT group meeting came close, though.

** Hell, [[Celtic Woman|Chloë Agnew]] (the girl holding the Koala) is this troper's sweet dreams fuel :D

*** On that note, Órla Fallon. Fellow CW member Lisa Kelly described her as "angelic". Whenever she's onstage she gets so into the music, you just know she wants you to have as good a time as she's having. And at her solo concerts she'll talk to the audience afterward, and encourages you to sing along with her. Órla is pretty much the living incarnation of Sweet Dreams Fuel. And for that matter, so is her ''voice''. Listen to her sing "Carrickfergus" or "Isle of Inisfree" or pretty much any song on her solo album ''Distant Shore''.

* This troper once heard that the odds of life developing at all within our universe, and specifically arising to form intelligent life, could be compared to filling a dozen major football stadiums with sand, and then choosing one of these stadiums, and picking a single grain of sand from it, and having it be ''just the right one''. We are ''that'' lucky ''to even be alive''.

** I read that example as a cross between the [[Sharpshooters Fallacy]] and [[You Fail Statistics Forever]].

**** An absurdly funny condolence and a plea for people suffering depression? YOU, sir, are Sweet Dream Fuel. *applause*

* Sitting on a couch with a loved one as it softly rains outside, and just cuddling with each other and enjoying each other's company.

* Going outside on a cloudless night, and as your eyes adjust to the darkness, seeing the millions of stars in the sky. It's breathtaking. For added fun, imagine [[Also Sprach Zarathustra]] is playing.

* Strawberries the size of Hand Fruits! =D

* [http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/freedom.asp Freedom], a disabled bald eagle rescued by a wildlife sanctuary, later returned the favor by comforting her keeper as he recovered from cancer. The description of basically being hugged by a giant bird of prey is awesome with a capital 'aw.'

* Just sitting there, late at night, listening to the sounds of the outdoors, a bottle of Guinness in hand...you can't help but feel at peace with the world, and with yourself. Especially after a long hard's day of work.
