Man this scene gets me every time! It is just perfect for them. It really shows Jensen and Jared’s chemistry and it’s just amazing and extremely sad😭

Oh and don’t forget this close second. Jensen really knows how to rip my heart out 😭

Enjoy all of these beautiful crying scenes.

Crying Scenes

anonymous asked: (½)Hello there. I had a question about my character. If I were to sum him up, he would be the “Good is not Nice” trope. He’s a jerk, He has a temper, and he’s sort of a bully, but he acts this way because it’s a front. He really cares about his siblings and he would die for them. He loves them all, but he is closer to his youngest sibling because they are clones of each other(it’s a long story). I wrote that there is an accident, and this bro(Jerk brother) looses and arm. Baby bro assumes…

(2/2) that it is his fault and he runs away. A year passes, and Jerk Bro spends his time searching for baby bro. He finds him, but baby bro tells him that he learned that he was made to just kill. That he would be better off dead because no matter what, he has to kill. (Another long story). I want to write a scene where Jerk Bro starts crying because he doesn’t care. He loves his brother so much that he is willing to keep him safe. Do you have any advice on writing crying scenes?

Well, how you approach it will depend largely on whether you’re writing from the point of view of the crier, or the one observing the crying. Whichever way you do it, put yourself in the shoes of the character and think through what it looks like and feels like. 

The POV of the Crier

When you’re writing from the perspective of the person crying, think about what it felt like the last time you cried. Did you feel it coming and try to resist it? Usually when we try to stop ourselves from crying, it becomes difficult to speak, and our posture gets tense as we try to hold it in. When we force a smile, it often literally feels shaky and it’s hard to keep it in place. When we finally do cry, it can kind of sting a little, and sometimes we’ll feel our eyes watering overwhelmingly so, and the only way to relieve it is to rub at our eyes and release the tears, forcing them to fall down our cheeks. Or sometimes if we resist the urge to rub our eyes, the tears will drip down on their own. 

Basically, just write out the many sensations and downright nuisances we have to deal with when we cry. Making a list of these will help when it comes time to put it in the description of your story. 

The POV of the Observer

This one is by far easier, because there are many, many, many places you can turn to to observe someone crying. Watch any movie that isn’t a comedy, and you’ll probably see someone crying at some point towards the end of the movie, or at the very least, close to tears. And take note of what the person’s face looks like, and what body language or gestures they use to try to cover their crying, or to get it under control. Also make observations when they don’t even care that they’re crying and they’re just letting their tears do what they will. Listen to the way their voices sound. 

Obviously, if you’re able to observe someone actually crying from strong emotion (on film or in reality) as opposed to an actor using techniques to cry (though still usually based on strong emotion), it is better, but find reference points where you can. 

In general, try to narrow your focus (by choosing POV), and then consult references and make observations about what your POV character might see, hear, feel, ect. When it comes to putting it all into words, that just takes practice, and the more you experiment with it, the better it will be. 

Very few scenes are perfect on the first go-around, especially not when they’re pivotal moments of the story, like the one you’re describing, so cut yourself some slack if it doesn’t measure up at first. The crying part will be difficult to incorporate, so try to focus first on what each character is saying to the other. Work out the dialogue first, and then once you have the conversation written, you can make judgements about what words will trigger the most emotion in the other character. That will help you decide where to begin placing your crying-related descriptors. 

Good luck!

*watching 'August: Osage County' because yarrr*

Well. I must say I've seen him do better crying scenes.

Or maybe I'm just greedy and want shaking shoulders and streaming eyes  because I am strange like that.

Oh well. At least there was some snuffly wiping and adorable puppy eyes.
