Line #14 Heartwarming/Grojband


1	!! General/Unsorted
2	* WordOfGod confirming that Mina doesn't stick with Trina out of fear: [[http://neptoonstudios.tumblr.com/post/58782295670/if-carrie-meditates-does-mina-meditate-as-well-is she really does like her as a friend.]] With that in mind, any of the small moments where Trina actually pays Mina back in kind qualify, such as the end of "Queen Bee".
3	* According to WordOfGod, Laney is the one who started the band mainly because of her crush on Corey. While we don't really get to hear a lot of backstories, this is really sweet considering 2 things: She is just as much of a music junkie as the rest of the band and happily enjoys being in a band with the boys as shown in the episodes. It's clear it's not just about her crush anymore but she legitimately loves her friends and playing music; also the fact she would do this just for Corey.
4	** In general, the shared friendship between all four members of Grojband. It's really clear that getting to hang out and play music together in their band means a lot to Corey, Laney, and Kin & Kon. In episodes where Grojband splits up (like "All You Need is Cake" and "It's in the Card"), it's always treated as a grave situation and the four members of Grojband always become miserable as a result of no longer being able to spend time with each other or play music together, with a tearful reunion between them always arriving shortly afterward.
5	* Every single time Corey makes Trina incredibly happy. You can see the look of joy on her face as she happily goes diary.
6	** It's even better when she goes into diary mode with a huge smile.
7	* Any time Laney is looking lovestruck for Corey. Her crush on him is just so dang cute.
8	* Pretty much any time Corey gives Laney a nose boop. It's just so cute!
9	* The fact that whenever Corey is panicking, too excited, or angry, [[CooldownHug all it takes is a touch from Laney to calm him down]].

11	!! Series
12	* Nick paying tribute to his dead dog in "Dance of the Dead".
13	* Trina kissing Nick Mallory in "Pox N Roll"(Even though she didn't end up kissing him on the lips, she still believes she did.)
14	-->'''Mina''': Trina, Nick is all over your skin!\
15	'''Trina''': '''[[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud SWOON!]]'''
16	* Trina kissing Mr. Mooseface on the nose in "Indie Road Rager", and later going to extreme lengths to get him back and out of danger.
17	* Trina treating Mina nicely as her alter ego Trigonometrina in "Math of Kon".
18	* Laney encouraging Corey in "Space Jammin'".
19	-->"Core, it's your genius that turns the diary into lyrics. All those stupid orbs have is a book full of secret angst."
20	* In "All You Need is Cake", instead of finally telling Corey how she feels, Laney focuses on getting the band back together when she sees how upset Corey is. Proves how sensitive she is and how she cares far more about the band than she does about making Corey her boyfriend.
21	** Corey and Laney pretending to date is simply adorable.
22	** Corey and Laney winning Kin and Kon back with the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ssHtBB8-SU "Please Come Back".]]
23	** The song itself also counts, truly showing how much the unity of Grojband means to Corey and Laney, as well as Kin and Kon (whose tear-filled reactions to hearing the song are just so sweet).
24	** For all the absurdity in the story behind it, Trina getting her sweater back is also genuinely sweet.
25	* Laney telling Corey to fight the helmet as it tries to take control of him in "Helmet".
26	* When the band sees El Chewpoocaca for the first time in "Monster of Rock", Laney grabs onto Corey's arm for safety.
27	* Corey giving Laney a "bear hug" in "Zoohouse Rock".
28	** "Nick Mallory's throwing an animal freedom protests party, and there's room for one more." gives Trina, who's dressed as a unicorn, an apple "Here you go, little fella."
29	*** The best part? [[ThrowTheDogABone It's one of the few times Nick does something nice to Trina without Corey influencing it.]] Had Mayor Mellow not captured her, because he thought she was the unicorn the Zoo so desperately needed, she would have gone into Diary Mode in happiness.
30	* When the band is inside Trina's head in "Dreamreaver", they meet her long-hidden nice self Katrina, who actually adores Corey and treats him like a brother for once.
31	** Similarly, Corey feels guilty about putting Trina in her nightmare-induced coma, to begin with, and is visibly even more so after meeting Katrina. It's the first real AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moment in the series.
32	* Seeing Cyborg!Trina getting very happy that Nick's brain is one with hers, and the fact that her brain "has never sparkled '''SO HARD!!!'''"
33	* "War and Peaceville" After the entire town of Peaceville gets separated due to a misunderstanding of the town's history, Grojband (with the help of Nick Mallory) gets the town to stop fighting.
34	** Nick Mallory in general. He may be a little conceited but he doesn't let his popularity get to him and he averts the JerkJock trope by being one of the nicest people on the show.
35	* "Kon-Fusion" reveals Carrie and Mina have a close sisterly bond.
36	** Seeing Grojband and the Newmans who are bitter rivals happily play a song together
37	*** Also getting to see them bond when stuck together.
38	*** Especially cute with Laney and Lenny, who talk about their feelings for Corey and Carrie.
39	*** Kon and Konnie laughed and had ice cream together. Kon said being stuck to someone was fun later in the episode. It's very sweet to see those two being such good friends despite their bands' rivalries.
40	* In the episode "[[FantasticVoyagePlot Inn Err Face]]", Corey seems to genuinely want to save Trina from exploding.
41	* In "Who Are You", Trina tries hard to fit in with the {{Hipster}} crowd, but Nick Mallory tells her the hipsters may not like her for who she is but he does. Cue her happily going diary.
42	-->"Trina Riffin, if these hipsters don't like you for who you are, just know that Nick Mallory does."
43	** Caring!Corey, who's so concerned with his bandmates' safety that he puts them in a package and MAILS them to their gig. It's pretty adorable.
44	* Mayor Mellow sacrificing his gold chains to save Peaceville from the pirates in "The Pirate Lounge for Me."
45	* Jammy choosing Grojband over Trina in "That's My Jam". What makes this part especially stick out is how, Corey told Jammy that even if he chose Trina over Grojband, they could still be friends, whereas Trina started yelling and screaming at Jammy to come to her as he tried to make up his mind.
46	** Corey and Nick Mallory sharing a heartwarming hug in the same episode.
47	** Trina being nice to the jam, even if it was just because she wanted to win. It's one of the few times Trina is genuinely nice.
48	* During the song in "For Hat and Country", Corey talks about his "Gal" with an outline of Laney's head popping up.
49	* Barney giving Corey the cowboy hat he wanted from the beginning of the episode in "For Hat And Country", despite losing the country he created, saying that losing a country is very country to him.
50	* Laney's message to the band in "It's in the Card"
51	-->'''Laney:''' Hey, guys. Just wanted to tell you how proud I am to be a member of the best band in Peaceville, and soon to be the world. I know sometimes I'm all grumble-grumble and a bit of a mother hen, but it's only because I care about you boneheads. ''There'', I said it! Now shut this card, and let's get some rock on! [[TrueCompanions Grojband forever!]]
52	** Nick Mallory hugging Trina which is one of the few times he is honestly nice to her and not just oblivious.
53	** The groupies kissing Corey.
54	** The fact that Corey, Laney, Kin, and Kon are a wreck without each other and the band. [[TrueCompanions It really shows how important they are to each other and how much rocking together as Grojband means to the gang.]]
55	** The song "Your Card" is made of heartwarming.
56	* Seeing Trina happily have a boyfriend for once in "Saxsquatch"(albeit briefly)
57	** The Groupies supporting Grojband by joining them in going up the mountain and carrying their supplies.
58	*** Even when they're on the verge of freezing to death, they stay up there and decide not to burn the supplies for warmth.
59	* Despite admitting to the groupies in "Group Hug" that he pretty much steals lyrics from Trina's diary, the groupies still love and respect Corey and the band and even kidnap Trina so she can diary up lyrics.
60	** Afterwards, they play a ballad in the groupies' honor. The groupies even faint from joy.
61	*** The same ballad can also be interpreted as a dedication to the show's loyal fans.
62	** The side-plot which includes Trina ridding Mina of being her lackey. Trina eventually realizes that it's not the same without her. It also shows how devoted Mina is to Trina, which is creepy but also cute
63	* Corey and Laney kissing each other in "Curse of the Metrognome", even if it was by accident.
64	** Their expressions afterward count as well. Laney is super happy, and Corey is in a [[PostKissCatatonia lovestruck daze.]]
65	-->'''Corey''': Wow... I mean, WHOA! Uh... S-Sorry Laney.\
66	'''Laney''': No, I was just... ''(fiddles with a lock of her hair)'' Y-Yeah... ''(giggles)'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext Cotton candy...]]
67	** During the song, Corey looks at Laney, and she gives him a small smile, and then she blushes when they sing together.
68	** It's implied that [[RelationshipUpgrade Corey eventually hooked up with Laney]] as of "Hear Us Rock!" when, towards the end, he pulls her in for a hug, caresses her face, and boops her nose.
69	* This is a subtle moment, but Corey manages Barney and Mayor Mellow to get along and during the song, the two are seen hugging each other, with lighters on, while enjoying the song.
70	* Grojband was willing to save the world and die trying in "Hear Us Rock!".
71	** One of the orbs helps Grojband by bringing them their instruments after being sabotaged by Trina and also helps Mina finally stand up to Trina. Kind of subverted when he then reveals he did both just to get back at the lead orb and doesn't actually believe Grojband ''can'' stop the meteor even with their instruments, but hey, it was still helpful.
72	** Despite the betrayal, Mina is ''still'' sticking with Trina in the end. She's just now FINALLY demanding to be treated as a proper friend and not as a "lackey".
73	** Laney almost confesses her feelings to Corey. Later she tells him that playing with him has been a great pleasure, and Corey smiles and says "The pleasure was mine, Lanes."
74	** Corey's monologue at the end, which is full of [[PortmanteauCoupleName Corney]] ShipTease, with him being very affectionate with Laney and his speech implying that he likes her and is telling her in [[CloudCuckoolander his own Corey way]].
75	-->'''Corey''': Saving the world's one thing, Lanes. But there's other one things that are everything. A one thing so special you'd die to save it and be lost without it. And losing the one thing that's everything could leave you with nothing. A nothing so empty and cold you can't even feel the wicked heat that's right beside you.
76	** The end of the episode in which all members of the band say "Thanks for coming out everybody!" Considering the series didn't get another season and it ended up being the finale, it feels almost like the show is ThankingTheViewer.
