Playing With / Safe Word

• Basic Trope: A word that actually means "no" or "stop" in a context where those words become obsolete.
• Straight: Bob is about to tickle torture Alice. Before he begins, he tells her to yell his real name "Robert" if she really wants him to stop.
• Exaggerated: Bob tells Alice to yell "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" if she wants him to stop.
  • Bob tells Alice to recite every single U.S President in order if she wants him to stop.
• Downplayed: Bob tells Alice to yell "Red" if she wants him to stop.
• Justified:
  • Bob needs to know if Alice actually wants it to stop or if it's a panic response.
  • Words like "no","stop" are part of the roleplay so a way to say "stop" when you really mean it is necessary.
• Inverted: Bob tells Alice to repeat a word if she wants him to begin.
• Subverted: Bob is about to give Alice a safe word, but decides that he'll be able to tell when Alice wants him to stop.
• Double Subverted: He ends up taking it too far, necessitating a safe word.
• Parodied: Alice is madly in love with Bob, but is too shy to admit it. Bob knows, and makes the safe word "I love you, Bob" just to mess with her.
  • Bob restrains Alice, and tells her to punch him if she wants him to stop.
• Zig-Zagged: Sometimes Bob gives Alice a safe-word; it depends on the mood Alice is in.
• Averted: Bob does not use a safe word.
• Enforced:
• Lampshaded: "I'm going to start now. If at any time, you want me to actually quit, just say my real name."
• Invoked: N/A (This trope is always intentional)
• Exploited: N/A (This is the entire point of the trope)
• Defied: "I'm gonna go for as long as I want — nothing you say will stop me."
  • Rather than using a safe word, Alice kicks Bob in the nuts.
