well, one is a fic that touched on very sensitive subject matter, so I won't really get into it. but I've never seen anyone write depression in such a clear and relatable way before.
my go-to for years was actually the FMA movie Conqueror of Shambala. that was. the end of an era for me. I saw it in theaters, and when Lost Heaven rolled with the credits, I just kind of went blank.
I, uh, sometimes listen to "Blue", the credits song from the last episode of Cowboy Bebop, which is already a very sad-sounding song, but I also have Associations with it because it happened to be what I was listening to the afternoon my brother came in the door and said we had to go, because my grandfather was dying.
there's a movie, that I thoughts was Last of the Mohicans but I found out wasn't that, that the ending made me so upset because of what the did with the main native character's body.
The Cool Ranch
: oh man, similar experience. I tried to rewatch Cowboy Bebop a few years ago with a friend, got to the credits and just could not continue
Wanted by Hunter Hayes is hard for me to listen to, because a friend that passed away had done a cover of it with his brother. It’s been years, but it’s still hard
It ended with the character's body being donated to science even though all through the movie the character vehemently demanded that he be treated with proper respect and just be buried. So imagine a like... maybe 7 year old me just bawling at that ending.
Because it was a huge part of my childhood, a lot of Winnie the Pooh-related media is my go-to for this. Specifically, "Wherever You Are" from Pooh's Grand Adventure and "Your Heartt Will Lead You Home" from the Tigger Movie. And then Kenny Loggin's "Return to Pooh Corner" when I need to pull out the big guns lol
backstory: zevon died two weeks after this album came out. he recorded the album as one last piece of work after being diagnosed with the mesothelioma that would kill him. the whole album is full of incredibly sad moments, but this is just the peak
