Awesome/beautiful things in unlikely places

Have you ever found one really incredible or inspiring thing in a work (or anything else) that you didn't think would have something so inspiring? It can be a quote, a scene, a song, or anything really. Even physical things in real-world places. That's what this thread is for.

I can't remember how I originally found this (it was years ago) but this song, from a FNAF fangame no less, is really beautiful and emotional. And it has such a simple tune.

That's beautiful!

Speaking of video game songs, I tend to get moved by the ones that play during ending credits, sometimes even for games that don't have a lot of story. I remember getting emotional over the ending credits of Super Mario 64 when I was a kid, and the ones in Yoshi's Island are beautiful. 😅

Aw. 😅

I know I've felt the same way about credits music in some other games, but I can't remember which ones. :P

Bump?

This Cracked article has a lot of good ones, specifically quotes.

This trailer is beautiful but this quote from Hitomi really moved me.

"You know something? People have an amazing ability. You should always say to yourself I wish I were, or I want be. Do that, and before you know it those wishes will have come true"

I love that show.

"Life is like a carnival. The games are rigged, but hey, that's okay, you still get to play! You came too far to refuse."

—YouTuber RecD, in his cover of "The World Revolving" from Deltarune

I always thought that line was surprisingly deep. :P

Yeah.

Bump. RecD had another variation of this quote in another video, and I think it's also really deep. :P

Life is like a brand new game / everyone buys it / only to find, you've been left behind / but all of them still play!

—RecD, The Walcc Revolving - Furret Walk Vs. Jevil WITH LYRICS The Musical (50K Special)

Being left out hurts.

This Mewtwo quote:

"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."

Aww. hugs

That's a nice quote, yeah. I watched that movie as a kid but I didn't remember that.

That is really nice. :)

The third paragraph of the description for WesternAnimation.Pete. That is really thought-provoking for an analysis of a fat, angry cartoon cat. :P

I finally got around to watching this here video. ^_^;; It's simultaneously funny and uplifting. :)

"And that is the whole story about the tree. Or rather, about the tree and the cat. Because if not for the cat, The tree would not have had a story to tell"

Cries rivers of tears.

I find this Yakuza karaoke song pretty inspiring and motivational:

Don't give up and keep going even if everything feels terrible and hopeless

Bump with something I found that made me really glad I decided to go out tonight. :)

I went to the gazebo in the park next to my favorite cafe, and I saw that somebody randomly put a blue post-it note on one of the benches. It read “Don’t dream your life. Live your dream.”

And there was another one that said “You can and you will.” Sheesh, that was one uplifting flash mob. :)

From the Princess Sarah page.

"Sarah, as others see her, and as she remains on the inside."

I once saw a note like that in public too. It was before the pandemic, but I think it's especially fitting now. It went something like:

Aww.

You made my day!

The montage tribute to Alex Trebek at the end of today's episode of Jeopardy! was simultaneously funny and sweet. :)

Godspeed,Mr Trebek!

I just came across this here uplifting quotation.

That makes me think of this very website. :)

Sorry; I forgot to post this one last night. ^_^;; While I was coming home from the movie, as I was getting closer to my place, the car in front of my had a bumper sticker that said "I Hope Something Good Happens To You Today." Thanks to the great movie I just watched, it did. :)

For a more recent one, this video is as surprisingly heartwarming as it is informative. :)

Because of cs188's latest You Tube Poop, I know about this cup noodles commercial which is animated in an Ukiyo-e style. I like that style of art a lot and it's cool to see it animated.

From From Two to Five by Kornei Chukovsky.

The book itself is a serious work about child psychology, but most of people unfortunately see it just as a collection of funny things said by kids.
