the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’
this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry
also, what sort of crying is it? not every character is going to sob with sadness, there's also frustrated crying, crying from fear, overwhelm, shere pain or exhaustion, loss, anger... lots of different types of misery. and, if you're feeling merciful, tears of relief or happy crying.

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

One thing I love about Clone Wars fanart is how much of it is just various characters napping on each other. We all took one look at them and decided that what they really need is snuggles and sleep.
"What’s really interesting is that Rhaenyra has grown up with an expectation that there will be, at some point, a brother who will take on the heirdom and carry the lineage forward. She’s grown up always knowing that it’s not her destiny and that she will always be, to some extent, set aside as an aside." — Emma D'Arcy
vampirism to me really is about the knowledge that you have the capacity for true awfulness inside you. it's not irrational, it's not baseless, it's not just the over magnified product of an anxious mind, it's a concrete set of memories of what you're like at your worst and a constant just-restrained desire to sate yourself at the cost of everyone and everything around you. it's about looking at all your loved ones and, whether you like it or not, being able to tell exactly how much you could drain from each and every one of them if you ever so chose. it's about having fangs in your mouth and taking painstaking steps to not let them cut someone when they try to kiss you. it's about hearing honest reassurances from friends and wondering if they understand that you can't stop listening to their pulse as they speak. it's about your hunger not being like others' hunger. it's about trying and failing and trying again to find a way to live nonetheless.
