Star Tears Disease

Like Hanahaki disease, the cause of Star Tears (星涙病) is a situation of unrequited love by the person you love.

When a person cries star tears, a sound accompanies it. (What sound this is happening to be unspecified. Twinkling, or jingling sound,... etc....). If the symptoms are severe/the person has a serious case of the star tear disease, their photoreceptors cease to function and they go color blind. In rare cases, they may also suffer memory loss.

The star tears have color and shine/twinkle when they fall. (Perhaps the eventual color-blindness is because the star tears have color when shed.)

The way to heal from star tear disease, or at least to stop it, is naturally to have your feelings returned and be with the one you love.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
