History Heartwarming / TearofGrace

* [[spoiler: The Bruz fight in AN IMMORTAL MECHANICAL MISERY; Tear opts to give Bruz a merciful death, instead of letting him suffer.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z4DHWFRbUY Tear of Grace: HOW I ACCIDENTALLY FELL INTO YOUTUBE]], the second video where Tear talks about his YouTube journey so far, what motivated him to start a YouTube channel in the first place, his rather spectacular growth in the last couple of years and the events that have happened in his life since he started his channel.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-JcvysxoPo An Uplifting Update - TAKING A MORE MEANINGFUL STEP IN LIFE]]'', the first video where Tear talks about the events in his life leading up to his YouTube career, how he started his B.Tech degree and University but eventually quit because he found making videos and entertaining people much more enjoyable and how grateful he is that people are supporting him and watching his content, so much so that he can actually live off it and so can continue producing increasingly better content. All of it accompanied by a very mellow, slightly sad track in the background.

Even though LetsPlay/{{Tear of Grace}}'s videos are mostly humorous, he does have some genuinely heartwarming moments:

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUev03OzIjg YOUTUBE ● SLIGHTLY LESS DEAD]], the second YouTube demonetization update video, where Tear talks about how his financial situation started to improved due to the people who donated to him on Patreon and thanking them, as well as those who bought his merchandise and who subscribed to him on YouTube.

* Brett's sheer glee at discovering that yes, you can absolutely control the Carnan vs. Tar-Goroth battle in MiddleEarthShadowOfWar. For a series that has mostly consisted of him getting really mad, this is a nice change of pace to see him just sitting back and having fun with a kaiju battle.

* After Brett announced his financial problems in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE77pXMTRY8 YOUTUBE IS "DEAD": And We're Gravely Wounded ]] he did a live stream. Where he more or less broke after several generous people donated to him in thousands, the top donator currently having donated in over tenthousand. His patreon, created on the same day, also quickly reaches its goal.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qn6q4vV41w Dear Viewers: I'm Sorry, and Here's Why...]]'', the video where he apologizes for not uploading on Youtube for over a week. He says that people deserve an explanation and goes on to describe the family problems that he was having as well as the lack of motivation and miserableness that came with that. After this video, Tear's started to upload less regularly as he tried to focus more on quality rather than frequency.

-->"I always wanted to make games because it was kind of a dream, an aspiration. (...) But as said, through the summer I was making content, I was enjoying making content because not only did I enjoy making it, people somehow enjoyed watching it. Naturally, that amplifies my enjoyment of actually making it, doing it, it's really a fucking amazing feeling. Very thankful to be where I was then and especially where I am now."

-->"Within the first hour of me being back at University for the second semester I quit. (...) That was it, I gave up, that was it for me. I don't want to say I gave up because that sounds kind of bad but I guess that's what it is. I ultimately decided that it was more important for me to do this (...) it made too much sense not to do it, you know. It's the thing I love doing, I'm happier doing it.
-->I mean I woke up this morning happy with nothing on the horizon that I have to worry about, it was nothing but positivity. For the first time in months I can say I was one hundred percent happy. I am in no way saying I was miserable before, I'm simply putting it out there."

-->"People with success should never have regrets and I would certainly say that what I have right now is a success, it's a job I love doing, it's paying the bills more, more than required and I fucking adore it but any quote on quote mistake I made up until now got me to where I am right now, so I don't regret it, I value the mistakes I've made, I value not putting effort into my videos for so long because that's what actually motivated me to actually fucking do it, because I did three videos a day back then and they were all terrible. I realized I had like a thousand videos and they all sucked, so I started putting effort into them, that's right, that's why I'm here. Making terrible content for two years is why I make ama..well, that's a bit too much, making good content now. You know, I'd never have 50,000 subscribers, holy shit by the way, if I didn't make the mistakes I did, if I didn't make the good decisions that I did. Every single step, right or wrong, limping or not was a good one, it was the right one because I'm sat here right now able to say that my passion is my job and my job is the bills and oh so very much more."

-->"I guess I can also use this to thank you for everything, I mean I don't make subscriber specials because I think that every video I make is special, you know. (...) I put effort into all of them, I don't just churn them out for the sake of it, I don't do two videos a day for the sale of do being two videos a day, I do two now because I want to make more content that's actually good and worth watching becuase you want to watch more of it, so that's it basically, thank you for wanting to watch this. thank you for the crazy few who wanted to watch my content when it was terrible, which it was, I appreciate the fact that some of you watched that garbage and think it's good, sincerely I do because if it weren't for you then I wouldn't be where I was, and I wouldn't be where I am. So thank you to every single person that ever enjoyed my fucking terrible content and thank you to everybody else who somehow found this bloody hell hole of nonsense and has stuck around for the ride."

-->"[[OutOfCharacterMoment I feel oddly emotional which is weird]]. I already had one of the happiest days of my life yesterday, so much to the point where on the way home I realized how happy I was that I started fucking running home, the walk home became a run. I was just happy, because as said, there was no negative in my life anymore, you know except for death and taxes but you can't do fucking shit all about that."
