1 | '''Basic Trope''': A character's facial expression doesn't indicate how emotional they are. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob is normally stoic even while being bullied by his [[BigBrotherBully big sister]] Alice, but he eventually [[RageBreakingPoint shows]] [[TenderTears that he actually is affected emotionally]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Bob looks like an EmptyShell, but is one of the most emotional members of the cast. |
5 | ** Bob is so emotionless even if mistreated by Alice, but taking it too far has led Bob to glare at Alice [[TranquilFury despite the fact Bob doesn't look angry]]. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob is normally stoic even while being bullied by Alice, but [[NotSoStoic he does show some minor signs of annoyance]] when her back is turned. |
7 | * '''Justified''': |
8 | ** Bob believes keeping a stoic expression will make Alice not enjoy bullying him. |
9 | ** Bob's [[FrozenFace face movements are literally limited by something]], so he appears expressionless. He may have to resort to ThatMakesMeFeelAngry if someone really isn't getting the point that he can feel. |
10 | * '''Inverted''': |
11 | ** Bob acts [[LargeHam more emotional than he actually is]]. |
12 | ** HotBlooded |
13 | ** DramaQueen |
14 | ** ComicalOverreacting |
15 | * '''Subverted''': Bob is just as emotionless as his expression implies. |
16 | * '''Double Subverted''': ... Or so it seems, until his BerserkButton is pushed enough times, then his facade of absolute stoicism is shattered. |
17 | * '''Parodied''': Bob is a literal robot, and he actually has a stoicism chip. When it malfunctions, he turns into a [[MoodSwinger literal emotional wreck that oscillates]] between utter misery, manic elation, uncontrollable terror, visceral disgust and enraged bloodlust. |
18 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
19 | * '''Averted''': |
20 | ** Bob always shows exactly what emotion he feels on his face. |
21 | ** TheMcCoy |
22 | * '''Enforced''': "Okay, the fans are pretty much convinced Bob's a robot. We need to humanize him a little." |
23 | * '''Lampshaded''': "I never thought such a stoic guy would be so emotional." |
24 | * '''Invoked''': ??? |
25 | * '''Exploited''': |
26 | ** Bob is being impersonated by a robot, and Alice intentionally pushes Bob past the edge of his stoicism to tears in order to expose the fake. |
27 | ** [[TheEmpath Betty]] uses such an example to demonstrate to [[LackOfEmpathy some]] that everyone, no matter how stoic, is a sentient and emotional being deep down. |
28 | * '''Defied''': |
29 | ** Bob specifically worked to not only show no emotion, but [[FeelNoPain to feel none]]. |
30 | ** Bob refuses any form of stoicism, being always open about his feelings to avoid a dangerous RageBreakingPoint. |
31 | * '''Discussed''': "Man, I didn't know Bob felt that way." "[[DeadpanSnarker I didn't know he felt.]]" |
32 | * '''Conversed''': ??? |
33 | * '''Deconstructed''': Bob becomes emotional to the point of losing his sanity and severely injures Alice. |
34 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
35 | ** ... right before returning into a stoic again, but this time with [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feelings of remorse]]. |
36 | ** The deed done, Bob regains his stoic composure. However, he and others agree that [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty Alice]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil had it coming]]. |
