It can be about how a subversion of a non-trope is still a non-trope, like if Victoria is wearing sunglasses but Sally isn't and she's using her hand to shield her eyes from the sun (referring to a bright sunny day of course so Sunglasses at Night doesn't come into play here). Do we already have a page like this? It's not "too rare to trope" because it's about "subversions" of PSOC that are also common.

This would be something that ought to be discussed on People Sit on Chairs.

non-tropes can't logically be subverted, for starters.

No Trope Is Too Common has been referred to as Common Isn't Chairs a handful of times on this wiki, which already seems to cover the "PDSOC" idea. "Subversions" to non-tropes (someone wetting their hair, for example) can be parodied, played with etc, so there's a good chance it's already covered by an index (Hair Tropes in this case).

You do bring up a good point about shielding in works, though. We already have Heliotropes for the sun but I wonder if there could be a Shielding At All Times trope index (Grasp the Sun, Human Shield, "No Peeking!" Request, etc) about tropes where someone instinctively, well, shields something.
