Should we rename to avoid looking like a stock phrase?: I Promised Myself I Wouldnt Cry

Woo hoo!

Now suggestions for the expanded trope: Trying To Hold Back Tears, Fighting Back The Tears, Trying Not to Cry.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Hmmm... Trying To Hold Back The Tears reads more concise (and reads like it does not refer to things that are not the trope), but Fighting Back The Tears reads clearer.

Off-topic: You can glue new crowners to threads, right?

On-topic: I think I Promised Myself I Wouldn't Cry's title can be used for the actual stock phrases - I'd take it through to YKTTW if I wasn't horrendously lazy/edit banned.

Anyway, let's get a couple more suggestions, and then an alt name crowner.

Calling crowner in favor of Trying Not to Cry.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

Okay, changed the name. I will fix the wicks next.

EDIT: Done. Anything else to do before we lock this?

Crown Description:

I Promised Myself I Wouldnt Cry has been voted to be about any time one is trying to hold back tears, whether successful or not. So it needs a new name.
