Line #19 PlayingWith/WatchingTheReflectionUndress


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character asks a character to turn around while they undress, not realizing that there is a reflective surface nearby in which the second character can see it all.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice has to undress and asks Bob to turn around. He complies but is now facing a mirror which shows Alice undressing.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Bob turns around and ends up facing a HallOfMirrors in which he can see Alice from every possible angle.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob turns around and catches a glimpse of Alice's reflection in a small glass but can't see much.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Alice likes Bob and wants to let him see her in all her glory but doesn't want to come off as a slut, either.
7	** It's a SecretTestOfCharacter. Alice wants to know if Bob would be a gentleman and turn away from the mirror or at least warn her.
8	** Alice and Bob are in a romantic relationship but she is some sort of Medusa-like creature and seeing her in the nude would turn Bob into stone but if he saw her in the reflection of a mirror, it would be okay.
9	* '''Inverted''': Bob wants to watch via the mirror and is already facing it, Alice asks him to go ahead and watch directly.
10	* '''GenderInverted''': Bob asks Alice to turn away while he undresses and she catches him in the mirror.
11	* '''Subverted''':
12	** Bob notices the mirror and, being a true gentleman, quickly flips it around.
13	** Bob notices the mirror and then proceeds to start making ridiculous poses in front of said mirror.
14	** Bob notices the mirror and turns on the other side's lights so as to drown out the reflection.
15	** Bob turns towards the mirror hoping to see Alice's reflection - too bad that Alice is a vampire who [[MissingReflection has no reflection]].
16	* '''Double Subverted''': Bob flipped the mirror, but the back of the mirror is also mirrored, so Bob can still see.
17	* '''Parodied''': Bob watches Alice undress in the mirror, only to discover [[FanDisservice her hairy back]] and starts gagging.
18	* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob turns and spots Alice in the mirror. While she undresses he becomes guilty and looks away, but then "curiosity" gets the better or him so he turns back toward the mirror, only to feel guilty and look away again. This goes on until Alice is finished dressing.
19	* '''Averted''':
20	** There is no mirror when Bob turns around and Alice keeps her modesty.
21	** Alice removes the mirror first, then asks Bob to turn around.
22	* '''Enforced''': The writers want to show that Bob is attracted to Alice but is also a bit of a pervert (or not, depending on how he reacts to the reflection).
23	* '''Lampshaded''': "Sure, I'll turn around... um, but you do realize there's a mirror here, right?"
24	* '''Invoked''':
25	** Bob politely offers to turn around while Alice undresses, then pulls a mirror out of his pocket so he can watch anyway.
26	** Bob actually hides a mirror in Alice's room so he can watch her undress without her realizing it.
27	** Alice knows damn well the mirror is there, and is trying to seduce Bob without being too obvious about it.
28	* '''Exploited''': Suspecting that Bob might be gay, Alice tests her theory by loudly announcing that she's going to get dressed, then peeking at the mirror to see if he's watching.
29	* '''Defied''':
30	** Bob turns around but Alice asks him not to look at the mirror once she realizes he can still see her.
31	** Bob notices Alice's reflection and looks away, only to hear Alice yell, "Hey, what are you looking away for?"
32	** Alice notices the mirror and tells Bob to close his eyes.
33	** Alice became a vampire for the [[SkewedPriorities express purpose]] of [[MissingReflection losing her reflection]].
34	* '''Discussed''': Alice notices the mirror in the room after the fact and she confronts Bob about it but he maintains innocence.
35	* '''Conversed''': Bob and Alice watch this scene play out in a movie and have an argument as to whether it is funny or creepy.
36	* '''Implied''': Alice and Bob come out of her room and have this exchange:
37	--> '''Alice''': "I don't believe you didn't see anything."\
38	'''Bob''': "When I turned around, [[BlatantLies I swear I did not notice the big mirror.]]"
39	* '''Deconstructed''': Bob watches Alice undress, only for her to look in his direction and scream, "EEK! I'm calling the cops!"
40	* '''Reconstructed''': Bob starts to panic until he realizes Alice was screaming at ThePeepingTom standing outside her window.
41	* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob notices Alice's reflection in the mirror and looks away, only to face the blank TV screen and still see Alice. He turns again, only to go all the way back around and face Alice who is now completely nude. She promptly slaps him.
42	* '''Played For Drama''': Alice notices Bob watching her and breaks off their relationship. Humiliated and guilt-stricken, Bob leaves her house, never to see her again.
