History Heartwarming / Goblins

* [[https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/page-14-2023 "Brother! You are alive!"]]

** And then, ''finally,'' [[https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/page-16-2021 just this]].

-->'''Kin:''' I miss you, Minmax.

-->'''Kin''': You're wrong about Minmax. [[DeclarationOfProtection There are some who would protect him]].

--> '''Minmax:''' You ''suck!'' [[YouKeepUsingThatWord Taco,]] you ''suck!'' Big Yellow, you ''suck!'' Kickaxo... ''(reluctantly)'' Yeah, ''you're'' OK.

* The monsters banding together to escape. A minotaur charges forward to [[https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/01252009 grab the gate]] and stop it from closing, [[https://www.goblinscomic.com/comic/02082009 then takes]] a bunch of crossbow bolts to the face. But as he slumps, the gate lowering, the hands of a couple other large monsters reach forward to catch and lift it.

* With the gate open, the monsters rush to get out-- [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/comic/07282009/ except for one kobold]], who is too injured to walk and gets knocked down by the crowd. We see him struggling to stand up as he's left behind, desperately reaching out toward the gate as the last of the crowd vanishes through it... and just as it seems that hope is lost, a passing minotaur scoops him up into its arms, along with no less than ''five'' others who needed help. A minotaur who is clearly terrified and bleeding from multiple injuries, but carries all of them out and away from the city.

* [[spoiler:After Minmax defeats Psion Minmax, he's reunited with the party and the alternate Kin party. He sees Kin's stump of a tail, [[BerserkerTears and is brought to angry tears]] when he realizes that Psi-Minmax did it. Kin comforts him, rubs his cheek [[CooldownHug and the two hug]].]]

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/comic/11192016-2/ Fumbles and Minmax playing with "action figures".]] It is every bit as hilarious and heartwarming as it looks.

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/comic/09212010/ So... Um... Happy Birthday.]]

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/comic/09282010/ It's the thought that counts...]]

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/03202008/ The part of the rescue arc]] where everyone bands together to save Fumbles, from Big Ears' reiteration of "Right, so what's the plan?" to Complains walking away to fume, then deciding "Screw it, I'll take them all on".
* While Complains' [[http://goblinscomic.org/10112008 screaming banzai charge against the Elite Guard]] was an unquestioned SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, it becomes a Moment Of Heartwarming as well in the context of [[http://goblinscomic.org/08172006 this older strip]] which tells you what his battlecry means.
* [[http://goblinscomic.org/03152009 This]] particular story arc involving the blind ogre Pan and his paraplegic, mute kobold companion Yala. See TearJerker.

** Her reaction when she escapes the city and is finally [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/05052010/ free.]] is also a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.

* When you make it through the horror of [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/04302013/ this]] alternate reality, you hit the last couple of sentences. [[spoiler:Before she was murdered, Kin talked about how she was looking for a jade teapot that could teleport you to a person, no matter where they were. [Minmax] wondered what would happen if you had the teapot take you to someone after they died. He was going to find out.]]
* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/12172013/ This.]] [[http://goblinscomic.com/comic/01012014 And this.]] In spite of all the crap they give each other, they really do care about each other.
* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/02112015/ This page]] is a cavalcade of heartwarming moments- [[spoiler: Thaco hugging his distraught son, Thaco holding Big Ears back from going after Minmax for apparently upsetting Fumbles, Minmax fixing Fumbles' mustache, causing Fumbles to ''speak'', thanking him- and to cap it off, the sharp-eyed might notice that Fumbles starts mimicking Minmax's posture after the fix.]]

** Minmax [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/02112015/ helping to fix Fumbles' mustache]] leads to [[spoiler: Fumbles speaking for the first time since his ColdBloodedTorture]].
** This is soon followed by [[spoiler: Minmax [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/08242015-2/ reflexively leaping to Fumbles' rescue when he triggers a trap they'd just escaped]]]].
*** And Fumbles [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/09182015-2/ repays the favor shortly after]].

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/11192016-2/ Fumbles and Minmax playing with "action figures".]] It is every bit as hilarious and heartwarming as it looks.

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/09212010/ So... Um... Happy Birthday.]]

* Minmax started to walk on the path to redemption when [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/03032010/ he decided he had standards]].
* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/09282010/ It's the thought that counts...]]

* Forgath isn't in love with Kin like Minmax is, but look carefully at his demeanor and actions [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/10082010-2/ here.]] He, after agonizing over the decision, very deliberately and determinedly put on his helmet and retrieved his weapon - he was ready to ''fight Minmax,'' his traveling companion and brother in arms, to stop him from killing Kin, who they just met. You're a good man, Forgath. A good dwarf, rather.
* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/03112011/ And now, Kin seems to have gotten over her]] [[Main/HatesBeingTouched dislike of physical contact.]]

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/07262011/ Kin and Minmax sharing a laugh and joking around with each other.]] Kin just sound so carefree. The fact that their relationship has progressed to the point where they can act like close friends and share a common sense of humor shows how close they are.
* Minmax is getting a lot of these lately. [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/04132012/ In this strip]], Kin is being crushed by these magically growing trees, and their presence is so traumatic that her mind is superimposing Dellyn over the trees, making it as if he was crushing her. She's crying tears, desperate to get away, and right when it looks like that might be it for her, Minmax just TACKLES Dellyn's distorted face right out of existence, takes her in his arms, and just about challenges anything else to try and hurt her.

* [[spoiler: [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/04242012/ I'm sorry...I broke the no-touching rule...]] Cue Big Damn Hug by Kin to Minmax.]]

* Consider also [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/04272012/ the next strip.]] As was [[WildMassGuessing predicted]] by the forums, Minmax [[TookALevelInBadass took a level in barbarian]] to extract Kin from the trees. But think about that for a minute - Minmax just screwed up his carefully planned-out build optimization, by taking a level and a feat that he never previously intended to take. His ''[[MeaningfulName name]]'' is ''[[MinMaxing MinMax]]'' and he derailed his minmaxed character path without hesitation - a permanent, irrevocable decision - to save Kin. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Now that's love.]]
* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/02082013/ Minmax helping Kin escape the zombies whilst promising her he'll never forget her]].
* [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/03062013/ "I don't want this moment taken away."]]

* And while mention of it appears in [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/10222013/ one of the most depressing strips to date]], the revelation that [[spoiler: Minmax "Sees" Kin [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/04272013/ is completely truthful]]]].
* While simultaneously depressing in-context, Minmax, king of the {{munchkin}}s, is [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/11112013/ completely willing to give up adventuring]] if Kin asks him to.

** On the subject of the house, Thunt recently gave in to both his own misgivings and reader pressure to at least try to raise the $30,000 they needed. He put up Tempts Fate 11 with an eventual goal of $30,000 and a July 21st goal of $7,500. By July 21st, Tempts Fate was already going to live through the entire thing, the fans having raised the entire amount within the five days. To say Thunt's been crying tears of happiness is a bit of an understatement.

** Her reaction when she escapes the city and is finally [[http://www.goblinscomic.org/05052010/ free.]] is also a {{Crowning Moment of Heartwarming}}.

* In the dungeon, the party find a bizarre pillar that displays an image of the loved one of whoever looks at it- first it displays Complains' late mother when Thaco looks at it, then when Minmax comes over to see, it changes to display Kin. While we all knew Minmax was in love with Kin, Thaco's reaction to the image of his late wife is unexpectedly heartwarming, especially when he confirms to Complains that he loved her, something that (judging from Complains' surprise) isn't something that should necessarily be taken for granted among goblins.

* While Complains' [[http://goblinscomic.org/10112008 screaming banzai charge against the Elite Guard]] was an unquestioned {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}}, it becomes a Moment Of Heartwarming as well in the context of [[http://goblinscomic.org/08172006 this older strip]] which tells you what his battlecry means.

His ''[[MeaningfulName name]]'' is ''[[MinMaxing MinMax]]'' and he derailed his minmaxed character path without hesitation - a permanent, irrevocable decision - to save Kin. [[MomentOfAwesome Now that's love.]]
