Basic Trope: Something unusual is never commented on.
- Straight: Alice has cat ears and a tail, no one seems to find this unusual.
- Exaggerated: Alice has cat ears and a tail, carries a giant sword that is bigger than her, and is riding a giant sparkly dragon through town. Nobody bats an eyelid.
- Downplayed: Alice's outfit occasionally gets her a couple of glances, but those people are shown staring at everyone.
- Justified:
- Someone cast a spell on the town to keep them from noticing anything unusual about the main characters in order to keep up the The Masquerade.
- People with cat ears and tails have been living in and passing through the community for years. At first people found them unusual, but by now they've seen so many people with cat features that they can accept Alice without looking twice.
- It's incredibly rude and insensitive to make light of Alice's ears and tail, akin to focusing on an amputee's prosthetic limb, or a physical disability in general.
- Everyone in town is Conditioned to Accept Horror.
- The entire town is really freaking weird, and anything weird for tourists and outsiders is normal for them.
- Everyone assumes Alice is a cosplayer or a member of the Furry Fandom.
- Inverted:
- Whenever Bob Coolson does something that is run-of-the-mill, everyone calls him out on it.
- "I have a paper that leads to a thing." "DID YOU SAY A THING?!?"
- Mundane Made Awesome
- Everyone comments on Alice's ears and tail, even as they let other Half-Human Hybrids go without comment.
- Subverted: Alice doesn't draw comments openly but there are plenty of judgmental covert whispers. Which she can hear since they are real ears.
- Double Subverted: Everyone notices Alice's cat ears and tail but it doesn't seem to affect their behavior.
- Parodied:
- Alice takes her best friend, Cthu-Cthu on a tour of the town, and he decides to go on a rampage. As he does so, one of the townspeople, who's been watching the entire time, yawns and complains about how boring things are in town.
- Charlie is the only person to notice Alice's cat ears and tail, but no one believes him.
- Zig Zagged: Alice starts off as a Bunny-Ears Lawyer. After Cth-Cthu's rampage, humans start pogroming Hybrids. La Résistance overthrows The Spanish Inquisition. They make a Law that the emotionless Eldritch Abomination must be destroyed, but any Hybrid who can laugh and cry and sing and dance counts as a Free-born Citizen, so Alice is reckoned as a person again. Then, the remnants of the Spanish Inquisition notice that Alice laughs when Humans cry, etc.
- Averted: Anything unusual is commented upon, and noted.
- Enforced:
- The author thinks that the civilian reactions to Alice's presence would bog down the story too much.
- It's meant to show just how everyday this seems.
- Lampshaded: "Hey, Alice, don't you think it's strange that people never seem to notice that you have a tail?"
- Invoked: Alice turns into a more human self, with strange technology and walk past undisguised humans.
- Exploited: Alice rides through town on a dragon twenty yards long because no one will notice.
- Defied: People immediately notice Alice's unusual look and didn't neglect her one bit.
- Discussed: Alice and another character have a long heart-to-heart about how hard it is to be a catgirl in a non-catgirl world.
- Conversed: "Have you ever noticed how these characters never seem to notice that there's a weird Half-Human Hybrid in their midst? What's up with that?"
- Deconstructed: Alice feels that others don't think she's special or interesting, making her doubt herself and doubt her friendships.
- Reconstructed: Alice's friends reveal that they simply pretended to ignore her cat ears and tail because they wanted to be polite.
Back to Unusually Uninteresting Sight, but there's nothing particularly interesting here.
