History TearJerker / StampysLovelyWorld

* For mainly earlier episodes: Any episode in which [[ChronicPetKiller one of Stampy's dogs die]].

-->'''Stampy:''' Lucky was chasing a villain on the run, and Aqua just wanted to join in on the fun. The Arbiter and Sparky, they died together...and Gregory, [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove who I will love forever]].

* Episode 355, "Friends and Foes": Stampy's fear over Veeva Dash (who he didn't know was secretly working for HTT) being hurt by Hit The Target, and his subsequent betrayal at her hands. He had genuinely considered her a friend and was willing to take on HTT for her safety, and was ''devastated'' when he realized her true colors. Even worse, when William Beaver shows up later in the episode to help Stampy fight the Wither, the first thing he asks is if William is ''also'' working for Hit The Target. [[TheWoobie This cat really needs a hug...]]

-->'''Stampy:''' [...] Right, I need to try and take him out, or at least scare him away, so he doesn't end up ruining the video and- oh, no! He's attacking Barnaby! [=HitTheTarget=]'s attacking Barnaby-\\

'''Stampy:''' No! ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge (sets [=HitTheTarget=] on fire with his sword)]]'' I think [=HitTheTarget=] got Barnaby! [[HeroicSafeMode Right! I need to take him out!]] He's not gonna get away with this, I need to get him- I set him on fire and-\\

'''Stampy:''' I did it. I took out [=HitTheTarget=], but... [[HeroicBSOD but Barnaby.]] [=HitTheTarget=]... took out Barnaby. [[LostPetGrievance He's not here. Barnaby's not with me anymore...]]\\
''(cue the RewindGag being PlayedForDrama)''
* Episode 541, "I Lost": At the end of the episode, Stampy surrenders to Hit The Target. Despite the SpoilerTitle, the ending was just as much of a gut-punch as it would have been otherwise, As [[TheBadGuyWins Hit The Target successfully captures Stampy]].

** Stampy's panicked rambling when Polly [[RottenRoboticReplacement (actually Polly-Bot)]] sides with Hit The Target and Veeva Dash, desperately trying to justify why she would have gone with them instead of him. [[ContinuityNod Knowing his past experiences involving the people he cares about betraying him]], it especially hits hard.
--->'''Stampy:''' They must have controlled her mind, or kidnapped her, or forced her to do something she didn't want to do- I DON'T KNOW! They've done ''something'' to Polly to make Polly stick with them rather then coming to me, because there's no way Polly would have done that otherwise.
** The state the real Polly's in when Stampy finds her -- she's been stuck in a tiny cell for almost ''three months,'' and is clearly worse for wear. Stampy is horrified when he realizes what's happened, and immediately starts apologizing for not noticing sooner.

--->'''Stampy:''' […] ''(looks around)'' I'm back, but... but where's [=HitTheTarget=]? He's gone. You don't think he's got away with all of my dogs ''already'', do you? ''(enters Doghouse)'' They were all here this morning, I just put Barnaby here and they were all here, how would he get them away so fast, but no! They're gone- look! ''(walks around an empty Doghouse)'' Every single one of my dogs has been taken, the whole Doghouse is empty! Do I have permissions? Can I do anything? ''(tries to open a side door to the Doghouse, to no avail)'' I still can't open doors?! That means I won't be able to attack or place blocks, I can't- I can't do anything in this world! ''(exits the Doghouse through the main entrance)'' I'm basically just ''here'', but... I can't interact with it at all. What am I gonna be able to do? How am I gonna get my dogs back if I can't do anything?

** Later in the episode, once he retrieves the Elytra he worked so hard to get, he flies off... into [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds the Void]], ''[[ShaggyDogStory losing the Elytra]]''. He noticeably has a moment of HeroicBSOD before pressing respawn.

** Hit The Target's plan involves a massive clone dog army (numbering at 40 being the minimum) meant to attack [[AnimalLover Stampy]], meaning in order to survive Stampy has to cut through wave after wave of dogs. He clearly feels awful about doing it, but knows that there's no choice.
** Bengy and Corey ''[[KilledOffForReal both die]]'', with Fluffy being [[DisneyDeath mistaken for dead]] for ''19 episodes''. There's no rewinding like in "Memories", no fakeout that it was a clone version of them, and no way for either of them to come back since Stampy destroys the Cloning Contraption later in the video.

** The [[ReallyDeadMontage memorial montage]] of Bengy, Fluffy, and Corey is very bittersweet. It's a nice trip down memory lane, but at the same time it really cements that despite everything, Bengy and Corey are gone for good.

* Episode 719, "I Won": Reveals that Fluffy survived. Stampy found her sitting in front of her own Memorial, but imagine being mistaken for dead, having your loved ones mourn your loss and even make something in your honor, that must've been what Fluffy felt all this time.

*** We also have Stampy and Sqaishey the content creators snarking about HTT's building and decorating skills (or lack thereof) in said premiere chat, but it also notes that ''character-Stampy'' doesn't know about what happened to his bedroom...

* Episode 823, “Thanks For Watching.” My. God. [[spoiler: While the entire ending ends an uplifting note, there no denying that the story ending with [[TheBadGuyWins Hit The Target winning]] and Stampy and his friends forced to leave after years of making memories and making friends, hits extremely hard.]]

* Episode 541, "I Lost": At the end of the episode, Stampy surrenders to Hit The Target. Despite the SpoilerTitle, the ending was just as much of a gut-punch as it would have been otherwise, As [[TheBadGuyWins Hit The Target successfully captures Stampy.]]

* Episode 541, "I Lost": At the end of the episode, Stampy surrenders to Hit The Target. Despite the SpoilerTitle, the ending was just as much of a gut-punch as it would have been otherwise, As {{TheBadGuyWins Hit The Target successfully captures Stampy.}}

* Episode 541, "I Lost": At the end of the episode, Stampy surrenders to Hit The Target. Despite the SpoilerTitle, the ending was just as much of a gut-punch as it would have been otherwise.

** Stampy [[ItsAllMyFault lamenting about]] [[WeHaveBecomeComplacent having grown complacent to 'victory']] after escaping from HTT and Veeva Dash's fortress-converted trap and that he should "never relax" when either HTT or Veeva Dash were still at large. Never mind that in itself being a rather unhealthy mentality to have, back in Episode 720, "Build-A-Bot", Stampy also admitted to having a "little" constant anxiety/stress from HTT and his shenanigans. In other words? Sir, please get some therapy.

*** We also have Stampy and Sqaishey snarking about HTT's building and decorating skills (or lack thereof) in said premiere chat, but it also notes that ''c!Stampy'' doesn't know about what happened to his bedroom...

* Episode 760, ''Impossible Choice'': The eponymous SadisticChoice between Barnaby's life and the Lovely World, both of which are essentially Stampy's heart and soul. Or to put it another way, to sacrifice his longtime companion's life, or leave the community [[ManOfTheCity he'd built from the ground up for over a decade]] and never return. Stampy manages to haggle it down to just the Funland, though, but the Funland is still home to the ''majority'' of the builds in the World -- if the World tour specials are anything to go by -- and is nonetheless still a hard hit, especially when it's a promise to not just give up ownership, but to ''never step foot'' in the place again.

* Episode 701, ''Remembering'':

* Episode 708, ''Where Is Your Head?'': It's a brief moment, but as Stampy collects leaves from the Gregory Tree to put in the museum, he sadly mentions that there aren't many reminders of Gregory around his world since he [[TragicOneShotCharacter died after his first episode]], and that the tree is really the only thing he has.
* Episode 719, ''I Won'': Reveals that Fluffy survived. Stampy found her sitting in front of her own Memorial, but imagine being mistaken for dead, having your loved ones mourn your loss and even make something in your honor, that must've been what Fluffy felt all this time.
* Episode 733, ''Christmas Invasion'':

** Stampy [[ItsAllMyFault lamenting about]] [[WeHaveBecomeComplacent having grown complacent to 'victory']] after escaping from HTT and Veeva Dash's fortress-converted trap and that he should "never relax" when either HTT or Veeva Dash were still at large. Never mind that in itself being a rather unhealthy mentality to have, back in Episode 720, ''Build-A-Bot'', Stampy also admitted to having a "little" constant anxiety/stress from HTT and his shenanigans. In other words? Sir, please get some therapy.

* Episode 680, ''Turny Journey'':
** When Stampy gets knocked into the Void by an enderman, he lost ''everything'', most notably his compass pointing back to the Main Island of The End so that he can go home, all the loot he had gathered in the End Cities, his armour, and his InfinityPlusOneSword that he got ''years'' ago as a Christmas gift from Lee Bear in Episode 154, ''Saving Santa''. Especially after his numerous attempts to Ender pearl back up to the End islands...

* Episode 700, ''Tragic Day''. Hoo boy, this is a rough one, and let's just say there's [[SpoilerTitle plenty of reason]] for such a title.

** Bengy and Corey ''[[KilledOffForReal both die]]'', with Fluffy being [[DisneyDeath mistaken for dead]] for ''19 episodes.'' There's no rewinding like in ''Memories'', no fakeout that it was a clone version of them, and no way for either of them to come back since Stampy destroys the Cloning Contraption later in the video.

** The source of the diabolical dog clone army is revealed to be... a [[ForcedIntoEvil scared, lonely dog]] that HTT tamed only to promptly [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals abandon]] in the Cloning Contraption. She bonds with Stampy, who decides to adopt her and name her Secret... which raises the question of [[FridgeHorror how bad must she have been treated by HitTheTarget]] for her to [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe immediately fall in love with Stampy after he feeds her a single porkchop]].
** The destruction of the Cloning Contraption, one of the most iconic structures of the SLW, as well as the fact that Stampy describes it as "something [he] should have done a long time ago." The way he phrases that sentence ("should have done a long time ago" instead of "should do to make sure this doesn't happen again") implies that after all this time, ''he still feels guilty over Stampy Cat Clone's death'' back in Episode 184, ''Clone Calamity'', which was released back in 2014, i.e. ''over seven years ago''.

-->'''Stampy:''' [...] Right, I need to try and take him out, or at least scare him away, so he doesn't end up ruining the video and-- oh, no! He's attacking Barnaby! [=HitTheTarget=]'s attacking Barnaby-\\

--->'''Stampy:''' They must have controlled her mind, or kidnapped her, or forced her to do something she didn't want to do -- I DON'T KNOW! They've done ''something'' to Polly to make Polly stick with them rather then coming to me, because there's no way Polly would have done that otherwise.

''(enters Doghouse)'' They were all here this morning, I just put Barnaby here and they were all here, how would he get them away so fast, but no! They're gone-- look! ''(walks around an empty Doghouse)'' Every single one of my dogs has been taken, the whole Doghouse is empty! Do I have permissions? Can I do anything? ''(tries to open a side door to the Doghouse, to no avail)'' I still can't open doors?! That means I won't be able to attack or place blocks, I can't-- I can't do anything in this world! ''(exits the Doghouse through the main entrance)'' I'm basically just ''here'', but... I can't interact with it at all. What am I gonna be able to do? How am I gonna get my dogs back if I can't do anything?

* Episode 243, ''Ghost Stories'': All the stories are depressing in some way or another. The story of Googlie Island ends with the mobs realizing that their peaceful way of life is over forever after the death of their king, the story of Evil Mr. Porkchop ends with the titular character cursed to be a [[ForcedTransformation pig-human hybrid]] until he can find as many pigs as he had when he was human, and while [[Heartwarming/StampysLovelyWorld it does get better]], the story of the ghost dogs starts with Stampy mourning their untimely deaths.

* Episode 320, ''Sleepy Stampy'': During the chaos of the episode, Barnaby is dognapped by Hit The Target -- and unlike every time before, [[TheBadGuyWins he isn't saved by the end of the episode]]. What's even worse is that Stampy doesn't realize that he isn't in the doghouse until it's too late, leading to him desperately running back to the Tick-Tock Clock Shop [[CueTheRain in the pouring rain]] and calling out Barnaby's name to no avail.
* Episode 339, ''Bye Bear'': Lee Bear leaves to hunt down Hit The Target. Unfortunately, we have never heard from him ever again, and Hit The Target is still at large, along with his girlfriend Veeva Dash.
* Episode 355, ''Friends and Foes'': Stampy's fear over Veeva Dash (who he didn't know was secretly working for HTT) being hurt by Hit The Target, and his subsequent betrayal at her hands. He had genuinely considered her a friend and was willing to take on HTT for her safety, and was ''devastated'' when he realized her true colors. Even worse, when William Beaver shows up later in the episode to help Stampy fight the Wither, the first thing he asks is if William is ''also'' working for Hit The Target. [[TheWoobie This cat really needs a hug...]]
* Episode 455, ''Revenge'': The destruction of both Polly and Squid's houses via Hit The Target and Veeva Dash's laser. Polly's house had just been finished and was Stampy's attempt to give her a home of her own, while Squid's house had been in the World for ''years'', even after he left the series. Making it even worse, while Polly's house was eventually rebuilt, Squid's was beyond the point of repair, to the point that the area was just sealed off for good.
* Barnaby's death in Episode 500, ''Memories''. Just minutes ago, Stampy was just talking about how Barnaby had been with him for practically the entire series (492 out of 500 episodes, to be exact)… no wonder he went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge when HTT killed him.

* Episode 541, ''I Lost'': At the end of the episode, Stampy surrenders to Hit The Target. Despite the SpoilerTitle, the ending was just as much of a gut-punch as it would have been otherwise.
* Episode 542, ''Hero Helpers'': At one point, Hit The Target aims his bow at Stampy, who claims that he's done being scared of him and that there's nothing HTT can do to intimidate him anymore...at which point he aims his bow at ''Barnaby''. Stampy immediately does a 180, ''begging'' Hit The Target to not hurt his dog.
* Episode 575, ''Polly-Bot'':

* Episode 670, ''Hacked'':

* Episode 243, ''Ghost Stories'': All the stories are depressing in some way or another. The story of Googlie Island ends with the mobs realizing that their peaceful way of life is over forever after the death of their king, the story of Evil Mr. Porkchop ends with the titular character cursed to be a [[BalefulPolymorph pig-human hybrid]] until he can find as many pigs as he had when he was human, and while [[Heartwarming/StampysLovelyWorld it does get better]], the story of the ghost dogs starts with Stampy mourning their untimely deaths.

*** At least, not until the following episode, where Stampy (of the SLW) remarks on the 'redesign' with disgust and spends the episode rebuilding his room (albeit to a newer style), and rightfully so. In fact, the thing Stampy seems more disgusted about is HTT's LackOfImagination in his "redesign".

* Episode 733, ''Christmas Invasion'': We get a glimpse into [=HitTheTarget=]'s perspective for the episode, and he ''blows up Stampy's bedroom'' (with Polly and Fizzy's snow-builds, Dolly Snow-deer and the Snowman Party as CollateralDamage) and ''redecorates it'' for himself and Veeva Dash. Considering the amount of history associated with the old bedroom, most of the premiere chat were notably infuriated.

*** The thumbnail of the episode hits hard as well, considering after the events of the episode, it's confirmed it will be the last time we see the three currently deceased dogs on a thumbnail ever again.

** The [[ReallyDeadMontage memorial montage]] of Bengy, Fluffy, and Corey is very bittersweet. It's a nice trip down memory lane, but at the same time it really cements that despite everything, they're gone for good.

** Secret, for the time being, is staying in Stampy's room due to feeling overwhelmed in the Doghouse. It's not as heartbreaking as some of the moments from the previous episode, but knowing that Secret's gone so long without company that she's physically stressed out by it now is still rather upsetting.
