Longing Look: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' brings us a particularly disturbing example, [[Yandere|Yuno Gasai]]'s intoxicated expression as she promises to "protect" the main character, Yuuki, is known as the "[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mirai-nikki-yandere-face-%E2%80%9Cecstatic-yandere-pose%E2%80%9D-%E6%81%8D%E6%83%9A%E3%81%AE%E3%83%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%83%AC%E3%83%9D%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA Yandere Trance]", which has since reached [[Memetic Mutation]] status.

* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' has both Syaoran and Tomoyo give these to Sakura.

* Hinata to [[Naruto]]. Constantly.

* Yusaku Godai of ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' does this to Kyoko a lot—especially when she's just doing little things like working.

* Chi gives this to Hideki a ''lot'' throughout ''[[Chobits]]'', {{spoiler|and so did Freya towards her creator/father Ichiro. Hideki even immediately recognizes the look when Chitose shows him the video}}.

 

== Fan Works ==

** Ditto for the BBC 1995 miniseries, where at least half of all of Darcy's scenes feature him gazing soulfully at Elizabeth when she's not looking.

* In ''[[The Searchers]]'', a couple of very long exchanged glances are the audience's only clue of Ethan and Martha's feelings for each other.

 

 

== Literature ==

** Kid!Snape watches Kid!Lily and her sister play this way.

*** The Snape moment with little Lily and Petunia ''was'' still a cute moment, despite any supposed "creepy" elements, because he was [[The Woobie|a malnourished, abused, lonely]] little kid who [[I Just Want to Have Friends|had no friends]], watching two sisters playing happily together.

* Clara Bow's "triple gaze" (first lovestruck, then lusty, then innocent) at her soon-to-be romantic interest in ''It''.

* In the first book of ''[[The Pendragon Adventure]]'', Bobby happens to stumble upon Loor bathing. They didn't have anything romantic going at that point in the series, but in hindsight, could have been foreshadowing.

** In "Who Are You?", Faith realises instantly from the look Tara gives Willow that the two are gay lovers.

* There's at least three of these in the pilot episode of ''[[Firefly]]'' between [[The Captain|Mal]] and the [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold|courtesan]] Inara. In fact, any time the two of them are together in a scene, either they just miss seeing a Longing Look, or they share one simultaneously. But, [[Oblivious to Love|for various reasons]] they never quite seem to figure each other out. Joss likes this trope.

* Booth is always giving [[Bones]] these long soulful looks, especially later in the series when the [[UST]] becomes [[Everyone Can See It|the world's worst kept secret]].

* Ross did this to Rachel a few times in the first season of ''[[Friends]]''. Chandler and Joey always teased him about it. "Could you want her more?"
