Longing Look: Difference between revisions

The reciprocated version, most likely between [[Star-Crossed Lovers]], is the [[Held Gaze]].

 

 

{{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.

", which has since reached MemeticMutation status. -->

* Hinata to [[Naruto]]. Constantly.

** Also Sakura to Sasuke constantly in Part I. Karin takes her place in Part II for a while. It should be noted that Sasuke actually does notice the attention they give him... and it annoys the hell out of him.

** 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.

** One notable example: In the scene where the [[Power Trio]] are in a cafe {{spoiler|after having to flee from Bill and Fleur's wedding}}, they're ambushed and attacked by a pair of Death Eaters. When the smoke clears and the bad guys lie unconscious, Harry and Hermione talk Ron out of killing one, at which point he goes over to Hermione and strokes the side of her face in a very protective gesture.

 

** 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.

'''Mulder:''' Just tell her how you feel. And Holman? [[Blatant Lies|I do not *gaze* at Scully.]] }}

* On ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'', Vince does this to Howard, who never notices, ''all the time''.

** Also inverted when he's just interviewing a suspect and she immediately accuses him of giving her the bedroom eyes.

* [[Star Trek: Voyager|Chakotay]] did this many times to Captain Janeway, particularly in the episode "Resolutions". When she only has a towel on and she's just stepped out of a bath? Totally checking her out. Creepy.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Though the engine isn't designed to show it, Visas ([[My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That|whose blindness put her in a position to know]]) comments that the Handmaiden's tone of voice changes drastically and her heartbeat accelerates noticeably when she is talking to the male player in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]] 2''.

* If the player romanced Fenris in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' Merrill will tease him about giving Hawke 'puppy eyes' when s/he looks away

 

 

== Western Animation ==

* Helga does this constantly to the titular ''[[Hey Arnold!]]''.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': Homer and Marge show this in a few episodes.

* ''[[Exo Squad]]'': Maggie Weston and Alec De Leon share a few, as do J. T. Marsh and Colleen O'Reilly; but neither of them hold a candle to the looks that Nara Burns gives Marsala. The [[Longing Look]] seems to be permanently affixed to her face in his presence.
