Does anyone know that trope where someone is outwardly stating sad stuff about someone they think is dead, gone, or lost forever and the person is standing right next to them, a few feet away from them, behind them, etcetera?
The person will either not notice them, AKA they will not hear them despite them being like "Uh, I'm here?" over and over until many seconds have passed and their brain catches up.
Or, and this also happens, they don't...believe it's them, like they'll be talking about person X and person X says "Uh, I'm here?" but the other person is like "Shut up, I'm not done!" and continue and it takes like forever for them to realize it anyway until someone else points it out or the gag goes on for too long.
There's also a couple weird ones like the one in Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure or something where Tinkerbell is talking about Terence on the mirror and she thinks that he's only in the mirror because she wished to see him, despite the fact that the mirror has ran out of wishes and Terence is, in fact, in the room with her and just being reflected on the mirror because duh it's a mirror. And she's all like "I wish you were ACTUALLY here with me." and he's like bruh I am here with you I'm literally right behind you. I think this is a subset of the above since they tend to mix a lot.
I think these are the flavors I remember most but there are more.
I'm not really looking to make a trope unless really necessary, it's more that I haven't seen this one yet and it's really bugging me out in case I need to list it, so if anyone knows what would be a good similar thing that'd be great. I'm really bad at finding stuff.
Side note: this is pretty random but I'm kind of annoyed that there's heartwarming, sad, funny, and scary moments but no anger inducing moments. That'd be pretty great and would mix up things a bit IMO. Like why are we leaving that poor emotion out? ;_; Anyway that's all, I'm done.
