Tear Jerker / Blake & Friends Play

Go To

  • The deterioration of Blake and Katie's marriage, both on and off-screen, which has culminated in them getting separated in 2018, with plans to divorce.
  • During the 5th Doki Doki Literature Club! stream, Blake witnessed Sayori's suicide and, despite knowing full well that it was coming, suffers a complete mental breakdown on screen, lashing out in anger and sorrow at the game, Monika, the game's developers, and even Andy. During a later stream of Golden Sun, Andy tells Kaiser and Aquinas that after the stream, Blake broke down sobbing, and Blake explains why: Sayori wasn't the first person, fictional or otherwise, that he failed to save from killing themselves. During his high school years, a girl who broke up with him ran away from home, killed her new boyfriend and herself. What makes it worse is that she originally approached Blake with the idea of running away, meaning she wanted him to die with her at first, which has caused Blake to not only suffer immense Survivor's Guilt, but also view his inability to save her from her suicidal thoughts as his greatest failure.
  • Blake announcing during a Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid livestream that he and Greg broke up, after only being together for 9 months. He noted that they're still friends, but the heartache caused by the breakup has still taken a massive toll on his already declining mental health.
  • Doubling as a Crowning Episode Of Heartwarming, but the one-shot Let's Play of Journey (2012) definitely counts, with everyone in call (Blake, Kaiser, Andy, and newcomer Shiloh) audibly on the verge of tears throughout due to Blake heaping on words of thanks and praise to his comrades for sticking by him, despite not being the best gamer or friend.
