Line #7 TearJerker/Shortpacked


1	'''[[Administrivia/SpoilersOff Unmarked spoilers below.]]'''
2	----
3	* [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/list This Shortpacked! strip]] where Robin realizes that every one of the goals she made for the future when she was little never came true. With Amber and Mike moving out she has to cross "Live in a big house with all my friends forever" off (made worse by the fact that she was the one who told Amber to leave).
4	** That comes back to bite her in the ass later, when she goes on another Cadbury egg cereal bender and manages to achieve world peace... by walking out on Leslie, having sex with Jacob Manley, filming it, and accidentally setting it to "public" when she puts it on Website/YouTube for herself to see. The list was what set everything in motion because she decided she needed inner peace before trying for world peace, which meant completing the list, which meant doing the one thing she hadn't done yet: 'bang a dude'.
5	* If you've ever lost a pet, then [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/lifespan seeing Amber get all wibbly over the realization that her hamsters are nearing the end of their lives]] will probably make you tear up a little.
6	** [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/mom-3 If that made you sad, this entire arc is going to kill you.]]
7	** [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/death ...Damn you Willis...]] Sure when you think about it it's kind of {{Squick}} but it's so sad it doesn't matter.
8	* Leslie's [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/always speech]] about why [[ItMakesSenseInContext she wants to punch Jesus]]
9	--> Well, maybe I want to be ''allowed'' to be angry! Maybe I want to be the one who ''gets to punch things''! Maybe I want to have ''the things that I want''! Like a ''mom'' and a ''dad'' and a ''family''. And a ''partner''. Or a ''wife''.
10	* The storyline where Amber's [[AbusiveParents dad]] dies is absolutely tragic. Makes you cry for [[SmugSnake Faz]], of all people. The little sleaze is human after all, it seems...
11	** [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/dad "Dad."]]
12	-> '''Amber:''' Of course the "dad of Faz" or whatever will be happy to learn of your triumph.
13	-> '''Faz:''' Yes, he would be, if Faz had ever met him.
14	-> '''Amber:''' Interesting.
15	-> '''Faz:''' [[WhamLine Sometimes I wish I had a father.]]
16	* [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/joke I don't know much about you.]] [[FlatCharacter After all, what's there to know?]] [[SatelliteLoveInterest You're Robin's hanger-on. It's the ONLY interesting thing about you.]] But you can't have her, so you throw yourself at me recklessly. [[HeroicSacrifice No regard for your own life.]] Because you don't have one. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech And the only possible reasons I can imagine as to why I'm allowed to beat you so mercilessly is that either the Drama Tag is close enough to being pulled that its rules scarcely apply, or that this universe agrees with me that your life is a joke.]]}
17	* The [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/prologue flashback]] to Galasso burning the Drama Tag, and the flashback he himself experienced at the time, after TheReveal. No words used, no words needed.
