Basic Trope: An Assimilation Plot results in a quiet, emotionless world.
- Straight: Dyeus and his suboordinate Luxia want to create an emotionless world via an Assimilation Plot.
- Exaggerated: Dyeus just destroys the entire world. Can't get more silent than that.
- Downplayed: Dyeus wants to create a police state where his thought police regulate free will, but emotions do slightly exist.
- Justified:
- Dyeus doesn't know what emotions are, why should he care about them?
- Both Dyeus and Luxia want to end The Evils of Free Will.
- Inverted: Dyeus wants to create a survival-of-the-fittest world where there are no laws even on a metaphysical level, no concept of self-control or morality exists, and horrible music plays all the time.
- Subverted: It turns out Dyeus's assimilation doesn't actually suppress individual emotions.
- Parodied: "How could we complain about a world of silence if we can't even complain?!"
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: There's no mention of a perfectly-uniform world anywhere.
- Enforced: The Assimilation plot is unavoidable, as well as this as a result.
- Invoked: The whole world got assimilated...but it turns out it is not emotionless. Rather, it is more of a Gone Horribly Right case where all individuals maintain their identity and emotions, while there is no sign of them deviating.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Played For Laughs: Dyeus is mute and deaf in the first place.
- Played For Drama: Dyeus is mute and deaf in the first place. Because of that, he's never been able to do anything with his life through communication. He doesn't care about life with or without emotions, he hasn't ever needed to experience them.
