These are some geeky deep cutes. Beware: If you are a hardcore nerd, you're going to be in tears. Well, at least one single glistening heartbroken tear that slowly trails down your cheek. This goes from anime nerds to Harry Potter nerds; from book nerds to gamer nerds; from Marvel nerds to Doctor Who nerds, and more! No nerd is safe from this. Some are such deep cuts, that only true fans, those who actually watch, read, and/or played the entire universe, will understand. And will have PTSD. We're sorry in advance… From the last words of a lost beloved character to the most frustrating moments in your nerdy fandom, you will be crying by the end of this list. What else is there to say other than to warn you of the emotional rollercoaster ahead? If you don't feel anything from one of the heartbreaking moments below, then you're either not a nerd (pfft, lame) or you have no heart… See for yourself below!
