Be Afraid Because I WILL Infodump On You If You Let Me - Blog Posts

actual conversation I had with a friend like last week

(for anyone who ACTUALLY wanted to read my long ahh essay, here u go!!!:

so star tears, as the name suggests, is when the victim starts to cry 'stars.'

In actuality, this disease, caused by unrequited love, is when one starts to cry small star-shaped glowing crystals. These crystals start clear, but over time, they grow more opaque and shine brighter. As the disease progresses, the tears are also harder to control and make the victim cry more often. The tears are also accomapanied with a small jingling/twinkling sound when falling, and are sharp and painful.

The symptoms (like every single fictional and real disease ever,) grow worse over time, and unless treated, lead to colorblindness and memory loss. Severe cases can lead to complete blindness as well.

The ailment is only cured when the victim's beloved returns their feelings, typically expressed through confession. Star tears isn't fatal if the love isn't returned romantically, but will lead to the (color)blindness and memory loss being permanent. It's currently divided on whether symptoms are cured if love is confessed in later stages, but I've only seen cases of vision and memories returning (because we love good fic endings!!!!)

so yeah thats what i remember)
