History Main / FantasticallyIndifferent

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' both the silent Mrs. Osborn and [[StiffUpperLip the family butler]] walk in to see Norman and Harry (who had just been missing for a week) talking to Spider-Man and the most surprise we get is a raised eyebrow from the former.
-->'''Houseman''': ''(nodding in greeting)'' Master Osborn, Master Harry. ''({{beat}})'' Spider-Man.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'': Angel takes her introduction really did take well on seeing the four titular Turtles really well during [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S1E8FallenAngel her debut episode]]:

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner'' has Roadrunner standing on a rock that floats in midair, to which the Coyote responds "I wouldn't mind, except that he defies the law of gravity!". (Road Runner: Sure, but I never studied law.)

* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': Justified. The students in class E are trying to assassinate their [[SuperSpeed super-fast]], [[NighInvulnerability almost-impossible-to-kill]] octopus-monster sensei before he destroys the world in March. Compared with Koro-sensei, normal weirdness just doesn't measure up.
* Subverted in ''Manga/MissionYozakuraFamily''. Despite all his training desensitizing him to many dangers, Taiyo continues to be the OnlySaneMan and reacts with alarm and surprise when encountering something truly weird, like buying bullets at a bubble tea shop or Nanao shrinking down to an unrecognizably small state.
* The titular character of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' has seen the destruction caused by dragons on a regular basis to the point she doesn't even flinch when Elma is introduced by smashing through the wall of her apartment and trashing her living room.

* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'': In the titular team's ''[[ComicBook/TheLegionOfSuperHeroes first story]]'', upon arriving at the 30th century, the Legion shows ComicBook/{{Superboy}} one class where one professor is using a Superboy Robot to explain how his Kryptonians powers worked. Unfortunately, the robot malfunctions, but Cosmic Boy steps forward and says they have brought the real Superboy from the past, who is eager to help him. The professor takes the appearance of a long-gone legend in his classroom completely in stride, expressing nothing other than delight at being able to continue his lesson.

* ''Fanfic/TheSpectacularSpiderManLostInGotham'': After countless years as the butler to Bruce Wayne/Batman and the Bat children, Alfred Pennyworth has SeenItAll. So, when Bruce [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe adopted]] a teenage boy with spider powers, Alfred's only reaction was to ask Peter not to leave footprints on the ceiling or webs around the house.

* Stories in the ''[[FanFic/BecomingPonies Pony Earth Verse]]'' vary in regard to this. Usually, "later" stories have the people transformed into ponies reacting very dryly to their situation, in comparison with "earlier" stories focusing on shocked initial reactions.
* While it would have been amazing to him early in his journey, by the time Ash meets a talking Slowking in ''Fanfic/{{Traveler}}'', he's already encountered half a dozen Legendaries so he's not even fazed by the idea.
* In ''[[http://www.grandt.com/XanderZone/stories/read.php?story=Touched.html Touched]]'', after the two seemingly become magnetically attracted to each other, [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander]] stays calm while Cordelia is freaking out over being physically incapable of not touching him.
* ''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-17276-100/TheLaughingMan+My+Archive+Of+One+Shots.htm Venomous Xander]]'' has a trio of teens see [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander]] in full ComicBook/{{Venom}} form and their sole reaction is asking if he knows Spider-Man. Of course, it helps they're all seriously stoned.
* ''Fanfic/TheSupermen'': Most ordinary citizens in the DC universe would count, but special mention goes to the unnamed woman at the newsstand who Wesker speaks to right after arriving in the DC universe. Wesker has just fallen out of the sky, and she just attempts to make small talk with him as he buys a newspaper. She also accepts the events described by the newspaper (articles about Superman and The Joker, for instance) as everyday and uneventful. Wesker's narration lampshades this, as he'd expected people to be more surprised.
-->''"You all right?" the woman at the stand asked. "Looked like you fell pretty far."\\
That was not a normal person's reaction.''

* ''Fanfic/{{Development}}'': While Lydia is more consciously aware of regular society than the Addams family, her history with the supernatural makes her less easily spooked by the Addams' deadly hobbies than most other people, more put off by Wednesday's frivolous spending than the poisoned food and electric chairs.

* In ''Fanfic/AllMixedUp'', Olive and Otto ride the tubes to Mariana Mag's aquarium and end up landing in the middle of a tank. Otto begins to panic because he has trouble breathing in the tubes and him being in the water means that he can't regain his breath. Olive, on the other hand, just looks mildly surprised as she pulls out the Snorkel-inator from her {{Hammerspace}} pocket and fires it at herself and Otto, granting them snorkeling gear that allows them to breathe. She quickly changes her tune, however, when she sees that it's a ''shark'' tank, with the sole finned occupant hurtling right towards Otto and attacking him.
* In ''Fanfic/SixesAndSevens'', Pat Mason puts up a strong front as he realizes more and more of the team in ''Shadow of the Eagle'' (by the end, everyone but himself and Robert) aren't quite human.

* In ''{{Literature/Dinoverse}}'', Janine doesn't take suddenly [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter ending up in the body of a Quetzalcoatlus]] with ''total'' calm, but she adjusts much faster than the others, to the point where Mike asks her about it.
-->"I don't want to think about this, I don't want to talk about this. It doesn't do us any good. We know what's at stake. What we have to figure out is what's our first move."

-->'''May''': ''[{{beat}}]'' I'm hungry.

-->'''Connor''': So... demons, vampires, doctors with claws... and I'm some sort of super-hero. ''[{{beat}}]'' [[ShrugTake Okay]].

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3:'' Ashley William's reaction to the discovery of a species that's been hiding for billions of years, can possess people across light years and, oh yeah, [[spoiler:created the Reapers]]? Aggressive indifference. As she explains to Shepard, she doesn't care [[spoiler:who made the Reapers]], she just wants them dead.
* ''Franchise/DragonAge:'' The [[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins Warden]] is this by the end of the vanilla game. [[spoiler:Flemeth? Check. A poet tree? Check. A dwarven Paragon made golem from a millennia ago? Check. The Lady of the Forest? Check. By the time of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'' not even seeing a sapient, talking darkspawn surprised them anymore.]]
* In ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium'', the amnesiac PlayerCharacter can range from a disturbed recovering alcoholic struggling to act normal, to a complete loon preaching apocalyptic destruction while addled out of his mind on hallucinogenics. But no matter how crazy he acts, pretty much ''nothing'' fazes Joyce, the [[MegaCorp Wild Pines]] company representative. She takes it all in stride, and sometimes even shows signs of [[HiddenDepths understanding more than she lets on about the bizarre and esoteric]]. [[spoiler:She's spent far too much time in [[EldritchLocation the Pale]]; the Detective's eccentricities are ''nothing'' in comparison.]]

* While most characters in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' have WeirdnessCensor towards Maya [[WillingChanneler channeling the spirit of her sister Mia]], the hyper-logical Miles Edgeworth ends up working with Phoenix on a case that directly involves spirit channeling (Bridge to the Turnabout)... and he barely comments on it. It's implied that, seeing it irrefutably performed, he simply treats it like he would another fact of the case.

** Even more with Liz who is [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-10-16 Highly Skilled at Not Giving a Crap.]]
** [[http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=288 Sarah's reaction to Pandora showing up in her bedroom in the middle of the night.]]

'''Pandora''': ''[grinning]'' Oh yes. I made the right decision with ''you''.

* ''WebComic/ScarletLady'': As Akumas become more common, Parisians get more or less used to them and their goings on.
** In "The Mime", Ultimutt asks how the heroes are going to catch Scarlet Lady's attention (as she never pays enough attention to the rest of the world to know there's an Akuma). Chat Noir ''brings down the Eiffel Tower''. When Chloé (Scarlet Lady's SecretIdentity) sees this:
-->'''Chloé:''' Ugh, '''''this''''' again? Tikkiiiii!

* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': Unlike almost every human, Cheryl has enough experience with the infinite weirdness and mutability of TheMultiverse that she's waiting for an apocalyptic crisis either to get fixed or CosmicRetcon itself into the status quo.
-->'''Fern''': ''[...]'' what if this is one of the times it doesn't "sort out?"\\
'''Cheryl''': ...Then it's the new normal, hon. You roll with it. Either mom takes the dog home to her kids after all this or a flesh pillar takes her jelly ball home to her red slugs.

* Owen Burnett, the loyal right-hand man to Xanatos from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', reacts to all the magic and monster related madness unfurling around him with barely anything more than a raised eyebrow. [[spoiler:Which makes sense, since he himself is secretly a fairy]].

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner'' has Roadrunner standing on a rock that floats in midair, to which the Coyote responds "I wouldn't mind, except that he defies the law of gravity!". (Road Runner: Sure, but I never studied law.)

-->'''Houseman''': ''[nodding in greeting]'' Master Osborn, Master Harry. ''[{{beat}}]'' Spider-Man.

* Angel from [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S1E8FallenAngel her debut episode]] in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'' really did take well on seeing the four titular Turtles really well.
-->''"Okay, I knew Casey hanged out with pretty weird dudes, but you guys are off the charts."''

--> '''Dermott:''' How does he even ''believe'' this?!\\
'''Hank:''' ''[scoffs]'' Last year, right where you're standing, Music/DavidBowie -- ''looking like David Bowie from the '70s'' -- slapped a guy with invisible arms and legs. Right over there, Brock killed a guy from 'Dimension C' -- that may or may not have been an alternate earth. ''[{{beat}}]'' Dude, totally see you there.\\

%%* From ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA2zt1Y7btw Oh look, Billy's home.]] [[MuggleFosterParents Muggle Foster Parent]] doesn't even look up from his book.
* In part two of the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' two-parter ''[[Recap/SouthParkS12E11Pandemic2TheStartling Pandemic]]'', Craig is this. [[TheComicallySerious Oh so hilariously much]]. He ''never'' breaks his {{Deadpan Snark|er}} no matter what ludicrous things they experience, from being sent to Peru by the US Government, finding massive underground ruins, battling a Guinea Pirate (A gigantic photorealistic guinea pig in a pirate costume), or him literally being TheChosenOne destined to defeat the Guinea Creatures and save the world. Instead he takes every opportunity to chastise the others for constantly getting themselves involved in such ridiculous events with the same level of interest you'd explain to someone why chewing with their mouth open was rude. In the end he learns two very mundane [[AnAesop Aesops]] while narrating about the events of the day with complete disinterest:
-->''"The Guinea Pirate lived, but was taken to prison to live out the rest of his days, and people all over the world learned to support their local Peruvian flute bands, and buy their [=CDs=]. For they protect us from the Guinea Creatures. As for me, I was returned home by Homeland Security. My parents were sooo happy. I realized that we don't always have control over what happens to us. We are but players on the stage of life. And I also learned to never listen when people come asking you for money."''
* PlayedForLaughs in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E3KidStuff Kid Stuff]]", when a battle between the league and some villains is interrupted by them all spontaneously being sent to another dimension. Copperhead freaks right out thinking he's died and been sent to hell, and...
-->'''Green Lantern''': Calm down. We're probably just in another dimension.\\
'''Copperhead''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, is THAT all]]?
* One of Zuko's funniest lines in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', [[TheComicallySerious which is really saying something]], is his completely matter-of-fact and casually accepting response to Sokka's lament that [[ItMakesSenseInContext his girlfriend turned into the moon]] in "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheBoilingRockPart1 The Boiling Rock, Part 1]]":
-->'''Zuko:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vr9xPqGD8o That's rough, buddy.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'':
** The eponymous Aqua Teens consist of [[AnthropomorphicFood a talking milkshake, a levitating box of fries, and a sentient meatball]]. How the humans react to them [[DependingOnTheWriter largely varies]]; for the most part, the humans treat the Aqua Teens casual indifference, but there are some moments where they display signs of unconformity around them (at least not when [[{{Jerkass}} Shake]] or [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Meatwad]] are causing trouble). Then there's specifically the Aqua Teens' neighbor Carl, who hates them but moreso because they constantly annoy him rather than the fact that they're anthropomorphic fast food products.
** Generally speaking, the characters in the show tend to be unfazed by many of the bizarre and outright crazy events they find themselves in. Carl and Shake are the best examples, as they'll react to certain things like [[ItMakesSenseInContext a robot claiming to be the ghost of Christmas past or aliens from the moon]] with shock at most and mild annoyance at least.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Parodied in the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E6TreehouseOfHorrorV Treehouse of Horror V]]" segment "The Shinning", which spoofs ''Film/TheShining''. As Mr. Burns guides the Simpsons through the winter lodge, they stop at the elevator when the river of blood spills out of it, and while the Simpsons are horrified, Burns is hilariously blasé.
-->'''Burn:''' Hmm, that's odd... usually the blood gets off at the second floor.

* Blanche, ''Literature/TheBlueNosedWitch'', impresses the kids she runs into trick-or-treating with her blue glowing nose and witch talents. (They initially think the nose is a dime-store gag.) However, they don't make a big deal of it; they fold her into the group to go trick-or-treating without any worries, suggest she show it off at the Smith house, and when she gets on her broom and blows smoke down ChildHater Skinner's chimney in retaliation for his nasty prank, their only reaction to her being on a FlyingBroomStick is that flying is much better than walking and clearly she uses the same "concentration" she used for her nose to fly.

* Kazuo Kiriyama of ''Literature/BattleRoyale'' is fairly calm for someone who learns that he's expected to kill or be killed by his classmates. {{Justified|Trope}} in the novel and manga, where [[spoiler:a car accident in utero/childhood (respectively) gave him brain damage that left him unable to feel emotions]].

* The Series/WellingtonParanormal division of the Wellington police department never react to any of the supernatural entities they run into with surprise or shock or fear unless they are being threatened. Their behavior is best described as "awkward professionalism".

* PlayedForLaughs in the manhwa ''Manhwa/IWish''. Since Lyu-Jin has started working for [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld K]], she's seen weird things like a race of flower-people that you can eat to obtain eternal life, a thumb-sized sprite that had a [[HalfHumanHybrid son with a regular human]] and a man whose memories need to be erased in order to prevent being killed by them, so that when a "normal" 150 year old vampire reveals himself to her it lost all its shock potential.

* Creator/TomSka spends the entirety of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAIbvlobWDM The Hole]]" is bizarrely calm about the bottomless pit that suddenly appeared in his house.
