Line 1: {{trope}} '''Basic Trope''': [[The Stoic]] [[My God, What Have I Done?\|is horrified]]/[[Sand in My Eyes\|cries]]/[[Roaring Rampage of Revenge\|rages]]/[[When She Smiles\|smiles]] after some shocking/tragic/wonderous event. * '''Straight''': [[Alice and Bob\|Bob]] has seen many things good and bad, and has never show a hint of emotion. When sees his daughter, Alice, die, he cries. * '''Exaggerated''': Bob has seen [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]], [[Parental Abandonment\|the death of his parents]], the birth of Alice, his daughter, and he's never shown anything but a stony face, until he sees Alice in a pool of her own blood, at which point he has a [[Heroic BSOD\|complete breakdown]]. * '''Downplayed''': Bob has always been a stoic sort of person, and when he sees Alice die, he sheds a [[Single Tear]]. * '''Justified''': Bob is a [[Reality Warper]], whose powers are tied to his emotions. he maintains his stoicism, lest he harm those around him, but when the big bad kills Alice, he goes on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]], powers and all. Line 21: * '''Exploited''': During Bob's moment of emotion, the enemy attacks and defeats him. * '''Defied''': Bob, knowing that Alice is about to die and there's nothing he can do about it, actively suppresses his emotions, so he can [[Nerves of Steel\|keep his focus on getting the job done]]. * '''Discussed''': "[[Did You Think I Can't Feel?\|Don't assume I don't have emotions]], just because I don't show them. [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry\|If you push me hard enough, you'll know more about my emotions than you ever wanted to]]." * '''Conversed''': Wow, Bob is crazy [[Badass]] when calm. Imagine what he would be like if he lost his cool! * '''Played For Drama''': When Bob's stoicism melts into a face of absolute horror, everyone knows that the [[Downer Ending\|heroes have failed, and they are doomed.]]
