Star Tear Disease 

The Star Tear disease is a fictional illness similar and inspired to the Hanahaki disease.

It's not deadly but cannot be cured.
It was created from

The illness born from subjects of unrequited love in which the patient start to cry coloured tears similar to stars; hence the name. Along with the coloured tears, often there is a crystalline sound or similar noises when a tear shatters on a solid plan.

The disease affects the victim eyes, making them turn color blind and, in rare cases, make the victim lose sight.

The illness would disappear if the victim get their feeling required romantically and not in matter of friendship. Although the damages already done won't disappear.
As the tears rolled down his cheeks, colored with every possible shade he had ever saw, sliding down along with that clear and crystalline twinkling.

He wanted it to stop, he didn’t wanted to cry anymore yet he wanted it to continue. he couldn’t completely hate the tears falling down his eyes, so shiny and colorful, reminding him of the stars.
Because, even if they would have made him blind, it would remind him of her. And, that was the curse of the Star Tear disease.

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.

Her vision turned blurry due to the flowing tears. Many colorful stars, accompanied by a twinkling sound, started to fall out of her eyes.

"Star tears disease huh?"

Her distant gaze shifted away from the stars that were piling up in the palm of her hands, her lips parted:

"So... this is the price of loving you."

Manly Tear 

A single outlet of restrained emotion. A manly tear, if used sparingly, is so powerful, so profound, that everyone around you is moved by your undeniable badassery. It is a show that a beast, no matter how savage, has a heart that is capable of feeling. A Manly Tear (so awesome it needs to be capitalized) demonstrate the control, and the precision of a man's character, as he is willing to skirt the lines of tasteful shows of emotion and uncontrollable babbling. Lesser men are incapable of such restraint, and therefore cannot shed a Manly Tear.

Teardrop tattoo 

A tattoo of a teardrop, under the eye of a person that has been raped in prison.

The teardrop tattoo is humiliating as the prisoner had the tattoo forced onto them and it may also indicate they're someone else's property, to be sold and traded throughout the penitentiary.

An urban myth exists in some circles that the teardrop means the wearer is a murderer; this myth was likely started by those that have been raped and 'teardropped' in prison. Some will even foolishly get these thinking it will earn them respect because they've seen tough looking lifers and ex-cons wearing them, not realising these guys were once weak/jumped and raped when they first entered prison long ago.

When you think about it... Can you imagine a murderer who wants others to fear them, asking a tattooist, 'Please place a tiny tattoo on my face that makes me look like I'm crying."
Hahahaha it just doesn't happen. Except for a few circumstances, crying is frowned upon in the penitentiary; it's a sign of weakness. A murderer and a rape victim are polar opposites of the prisoner spectrum and realistically, would you cry after murdering someone or after being raped?

More recently, trendy rappers, hipsters, etc. who want people to feel sorry for them, get the tattoo thinking they'll fool others into believing they're grieving and perhaps some of them are, not realising that in prison terms it means they are in fact grieving their anal virginity and 'street' innocence.
See that guy with the teardrop tattoo ... he was raped in prison.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
