This Is My Side: Difference between revisions

* Suiseiseki in ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'', who initially dislikes Jun, draws an obviously biased one in his room.

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': While there was no actual line drawn, Asuka tells Shinji that the door between two rooms is "the impenetrable wall of Jericho, Third Child. Take one step over this line and you'll be a dead man." Given that in the story from the Bible, [[Analogy Backfire|the wall of Jericho fell at the sound of a trumpet]], many fans perceived this as a [[Freudian Slip]].

* In the ''[[Read or Die (Anime)|Read or Die]]'' TV series, Anita's side of the room is divided from the others' by a curtain. "Nobody crosses!" One wonders what ''she's'' hiding.

* In ''[[Cherry Juice (Manga)|Cherry Juice]]'' a [[Not Blood Siblings]] brother and sister have to share a room when their grandmother moves into the house after suffering a hip injury.

* ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]'': In a sketch, Russian and American sides of an unnamed European Country are decided after years of negotiation -- down the center of the bedroom of a pair of newlyweds. A painter paints a line down the wall and on the floor. Suddenly the husband (on the Amerian side) needs a passport to visit his wife (on the Russian side).

* ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' have done this at least once.

* Alexia does this in the ''[[Pixelface]]'' episode "High Spirits" when the others get angry at her for taking their stuff with permission. She divides the console in half, with her on one side and everyone else on the other.

 

* On ''[[Cat Dog]]'', Cat and Dog once took this to the extreme by physically sawing all their possessions in half, including their house.

* On ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'', Stan and Francine draw a line across the house after a fight over remodeling the kitchen. It's an [[Invoked Trope]], as Stan comments he saw it on ''[[The Brady Bunch]]''. Eventually they build a wall across the middle of the house and a [[Time Passes Montage]] shows the family celebrating holidays on Stan's and Francine's side. (It turns out they celebrated all those holidays in one week to make each other feel bad.)

* In the animated ''[[Back to The Future]]'', the kids' room is divided by a red line with "KEEP OUT!" written on each side. Note that unlike most other examples, this is the default state, rather than a one-time thing.

* Seen during the pageant in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Hearth's Warming Eve". After the three bickering rulers of the earth pony, pegasus, and unicorn tribes get stranded in a cave during a blizzard, the rulers start arguing over who gets what part of the cave, with the pegasus leader eventually starting them on drawing lines in the dirt.
