Line 1:
{{trope}}
During times of emotional stress, a character's eyes, or just the reflected highlights in them, will shake perceptibly. The aim is usually to show someone on the verge of tears; as in, their eyes are pricking, or tears are welling, or something difficult to show otherwise. This is not usually a comedy trope, and can in fact mean that things have turned very serious. It may presage a [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]] if the situation gets worse. It can also indicate extreme happiness or love. Pretty hard (but not impossible) to replicate in [[Real Life]]. [[Schmuck Bait|Best not to try, really]].
{{examples}}▼
Compare with [[Puppy Dog Eyes]], with which it can combine for devastating effect.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In [[Berserk]], this almost always happens anytime Griffith gives his trademark beast-stare to anyone, or looks them in the eyes at all.
