Line #20 Heartwarming/Brainbent


1	* "Protocol be damned." -Hug-
2	* Anything tagged "brainbent group hug". It's the tag for people to get in- or out-of-character advice for their RealLife problems.
3	* When an anon tells Kanaya she's beautiful and Rose has to tell Kanaya they're talking about her. Even sweeter when Rose agrees.
4	* Karkat and Sollux affirming that they really are friends. It occurs in the aftermath of Sollux punching out Karkat for some tactless but good advice, and then freaking out about it until he needs to be restrained.
5	* Sollux is asked what he would do if he never met Aradia. This is his response:
6	-->'''Sollux''': ii dont know iif ii would 2tiill be here at all man. [[FriendlessBackground ii dont have many friiend2]] and ii know ii 2ound liike 2ome de2perate creeper, [[PlatonicLifePartners 2he2 ju2t the one ii want two be wiith forever]] and ii couldnt have made iit thii2 far alone. liike, ii know my parent2 [[GoodParents do theiir be2t]] but they cant be everythiing two me, iit2 not faiir two them after all ii put them through and they have two let me liive iin the world 2omeday and all that cliiche bull2hiit. ii dont know. [[LivingEmotionalCrutch ii need her]].
7	-->'''Karkat''': [[MoodWhiplash CODEPENDENT]] [[MomentKiller MUCH?]]
8	* Someone asks if Casey will be incorporated into Brainbent somehow. [[http://brainbent.tumblr.com/post/15609264559/anonymous-asked-brainbent-is-casey-going-to-be This happens]].
9	-->'''John''': This is my little sister, Casey. Say hi Case!
10	-->'''Casey''': Glub.
11	* Gamzee talking to Calliope. So sweet you may go into hyperglycemic shock.
12	** Becomes even more heartwarming in hindsight with the revelation that [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007886 Canon!Gamzee raised Canon!Calliope when she was a baby]]. And after that update, there were more and more moments in Brainbent that featured Gamzee and Calliope [[IntergenerationalFriendship hanging out with each other]]. COINCIDENCE?
13	* At one point during a long online discussion, Sollux, Jade, Karkat and Nepeta argue over Karkat's deodorant, and Nepeta mentions that the scent burns. Karkat's response is to immediately go change and clean up, without anyone even suggesting it.
14	* Karkat comforting Gamzee when the latter goes into a HeroicBSOD following a fight with Sollux. He even [[HatesBeingTouched lets Gamzee hug him.]]
15	* Tavros decided to work at St Lobaf because he wants to help other LGBT teens and hopefully prevent them from trying to kill themselves, since he did and he decided that he never wants anyone else to go through that.
16	* Another beautiful line from Tavros:
17	--> i THINK EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO, dESERVES TO BE HAPPY, aND TO BE ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, eVEN IF IT THEY FEEL LIKE ALL THEY DO IS COMPLAIN, oR THAT THEY ARE MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF NOTHING,
18	* A small one, but when Dave goes to meet Bro, Sollux drags himself out of hibernation to wave at him for good luck. A small gesture for anyone else but a monumental struggle for Sollux.
19	* Sollux giving Eridan some really good advice, telling him not to obsess over mistakes because by the time it's over and done with, he'll have one less thing to be ashamed of.
20	* [[http://brainbent.tumblr.com/post/92421152504/ta-so-where-are-we-goiing-agaiin-ta-what This update]] reveals that Gamzee doesn't swear in front of [[ChildrenAreInnocent Calliope]].
21	** [[http://brainbent.tumblr.com/post/93288881324/calliope-say-hi-to-the-snarly-hair-girl-while-mum Similarly, this update]] shows Vriska being genuinely nice to Calliope and sympathising with her.
22	*** Look at the tree. Carved into it is 'SC <3 AM', and there's two arrows through the heart (that, in a stroke of art genius, look like the arrows in front of the Homestuck commands, while the arrowheads on each side make the moirail sign). Awwwww.
23	* Dave telling Karkat that he thinks Karkat would make a great dad.
