Dean is very pretty when he cries.

Everybody has their kryptonite. Maybe other people's vulnerability is yours.

Eh. I'm the same way. Same kink and everything.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a kink (I don't think? like crying doesn't specifically turn me on) but I kinda feel you on this. I like it when men aren't afraid to be vulnerable. It makes a person more sexy in general to me.

+1. (Though some people can cry pretty, and I won't lie and say I don't find it pleasing to watch, but the crying itself doesn't turn me on.)

I'm always torn between the aesthetics of something like Dean's single perfect tear, and admiration for actors who are willing to go full-on 'ugly' crying face.

I get that. Pretty crying is nice to watch, but ugly crying hits harder and feels more genuine in most cases.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-18 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think that's a big deal. It's a kink like any other, really less shocking than many (honestly, I know this is not actually a good reaction to have, but it seems rather sweet as kinks go). And getting turned by it awkwardly seems to me like it's just a subset of the more general problem of getting awkwardly turned by things in general.

Somehow I always tear up when someone on the screen cries.
Hehe, I wouldn't worry. Many people are fascinated with their Profs at some point.

Brb, must go looking for gifs of Sebastian Stan crying now.

No, but really, I feel you. And sadly, yes, it does carry over in real life.

Text: Fandom made me realize I have a thing for crying (specifically men crying) not even in a sexual way I just really like the display of vulnerability

which is great because in fandom you can reblog a gifset of Sebastian Stan crying and no one will judge you

But it carries over to my real life

So in situation like my teacher crying during a documentary about the Dustbowl I get oddly fascinated and then become disgusted with myself

TLDR: fandom made me realize I have a bunch of weird kinks and I am kind of ashamed of these realizations

So long as you don't *act* on your fascination, don't worry about it. Live with your kinks, just don't let them interfere with people in RL. It does no harm.

I'm neutral on crying. But that's because if I really get rolling, my face inflates and I'm snuffly and snorty and I just can't imagine that being appealing, regardless of my emotional vulnerability.

Long as you don't treat other people as your personal kinktoys, I wouldn't worry.

I love men crying so much. I have to struggle not to include it in every one of my fics.

It's not that I want to see men sad. It's the emotional openness, something which is still largely taboo for men in daily life.

Best male actor for crying scenes is Tom Hiddleston, no contest. When he cries my whole body sighs. I thought his Henry V was embarrassingly bad. Then he cried during one scene, and I forgave him everything. I wish there were Oscars for crying. Many actors admit to finding cryig for the camera difficult. Hiddleston would win the Crying Oscars every year. Best ever crier.

I love it, too. My fave male cryer is Jesse Pinkman and my fave female cryer is Olivia Dunham.

But I don't think I'd worry about it. It's interesting when people display vulnerability and it's not a crime to appreciate it.

Olivia gives a good cry. If I want really emotional, but still beautiful crying, Olivia's a great choice. But Walter's tears are pretty much always soul-crushing. Damn you, John Noble! The way his voice will falter... I just want to hug him every time.

Absolutely agreed.

James McAvoy is pretty when he cries.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! McAvoy was my fave onscreen crier before I saw Hiddleston's huge glistening orbs emote those tears of pure perfect woobieness.

Timothy Spall also gives good cry. He rips me apart.

You should start watching Korean dramas. Everyone cries all the time, male and female. Good times.

I have cried while teaching multiple times. I try to teach texts that really move me and mean something to me, and that sometimes equals crying like a ninny in class. Mostly the students do not seem to dock me coolness points for that.

Although I nearly died of embarrassment the time I was asked to read the Velveteen Rabbit to a group of kindergarteners and was sobbing by the end. :/

(Anonymous) 2015-01-19 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't crying when you read The Velveteen Rabbit just sort of mandatory? ... No, but, really, I've done the same in front of of my little sister. It happens.

[personal profile] lunabee34 2015-01-21 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It is an inevitability. I just wish I had teared up beautifully with a single gorgeous tear running down my cheek instead of ugly sobbing like a nightmare. LOL

I love how popular crying men has become, because when I first got into fandom it was hugely impopular. ("Men don't cry! They're not women!")

OP, you should watch the Olympics. You get a lot of really awesome crying there. Here's my favorite from the London Olympics:

One of my favorite crying videos ever (sorry for the bad quality):

And each winter in the UK there's a ton of men crying on Strictly. It's almost routine for the men to cry when they get high scores, even more than the women.

I love that men crying has become more accepted.
