Trope is at 23 wicks, fewer than 10 good examples on and off page, and even fewer that sufficiently differentiate it from Hidden Eyes and Color Failure. The YKTTW, previous TRS thread.

I suggest a disambig with Hidden Eyes and Color Failure.

Disambig. Considering the opening text, can't help but wonder if this is one of those "trope X, but Japanese" cases.

Disambiguate it.

In fact, all the images and links for both Hidden Eyes and Colour Failure are themselves from anime, so rather than being the Japanese equivalent of either of them I think it's just redundant.

So, this dead but archived image, the panel above the shadowed and Hidden Eyes, is that still Hidden Eyes?

It seems different because it's not hidden due to visual angle, it's just literally not drawn. Eyeless Face, instead of Hidden Eyes.

I guess the issue is how Blank Face Of Shame is so broad by saying "obscured with lines or blacked out to show". Stepping on Hidden Eyes territory.

As this trope isn't thriving, we can settle this one early as we have enough consensus to do so. Calling thread in favor of disambiguating Blank Face Of Shame between Color Failure and Hidden Eyes.

Here's some text for a possible disambiguation page. Good enough?


You may be looking for:

  • Hidden Eyes: A character's eyes are shown as being hidden by something, to denote emotional stress.
  • Color Failure: A character turns monochrome after shock.

Please correct any links to one of the above tropes, or remove the link if they fit neither.

Alright, disambiguated. Now all that's left are the wicks.

Can I Cut List the redirect, since it isn't thriving?

Dewicking done, minus the Laconic (which needs to be cut) and a redirect (which I'll leave up to the mods if they want to keep it).

This thread can now be closed.
