Line 9:
* Currency signs, usually dollar ($), yen (¥), pound (£), or euro (€): Greedy. [[Stock Sound Effects|Often accompanied with a cash register sound]].
* [[Heart Symbol|Hearts]]: [[Love Makes You Crazy|Lovesick]]
* Daggers/[[Fireball Eyeballs|Fire]]: [[Burning With Anger|Extreme anger]] and/or intent to kill someone for [[Rant-Inducing Slight|something unforgivable]]. Fire could also be used for [[Hot
* No Sale: Used in western animation after a blow to the head ("No Sale" is a command that opens a cash register's drawer without, um, making a sale. The eyes are based on the tabs that would display on an old mechanical register.) Somewhat of a [[Forgotten Trope]] now thanks to the near-extinction of mechanical cash registers. Though the concept itself still remains usable as the term 'no sale' is still used in the retail business. TILT can be used if the character's a robot.
* Stars: Excitement, determination and dreaming of fame and fortune
Line 38:
** A ''[[Naked On Arrival|nude]]'' male android.
* Lilie from ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' often gets [[media:Lilie_Wingding_Pupils2.jpg|hearts in her eyes]] when Ahiru does something she deems 'cute'.
* In ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', extremely high levels of [[Hot
** One fairly unique example of this trope occurs late in the series, when Kittan's eyes momentarily transform into stars upon seeing the giant stars on Yoko's latest outfit. [[Male Gaze|Guess where they are.]]
** Simon demonstrates the "insanity/rage" eyes -- pupils with nothing but empty circles around them -- for a few episodes following {{spoiler|Kamina's death}}.
Line 76:
* In ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' one character's eyeballs turn into daggers.
** Not get daggers IN them mind, [[Nightmare Fuel|they actually extend from his skull and get pointy]].
** They also display spirals, starbursts, etc. in brilliant [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red and]] [[Eyes of Gold|yellow]]. Shudder.
* The audio commentary to Disney's ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]'' notes that Gaston has skulls visible in his eyes as the camera zooms in on his face while he's [[Disney Villain Death|falling to his death]]. (It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment--try going through the scene frame-by-frame.)
* In ''[[Cats Don't Dance (Animation)|Cats Don't Dance]]'', Darla Dimple is so infuriated at the animals trying to get attention that her eyes fill with fire and (cat) Skull and Crossbones at the same time.
Line 132:
* Wario's eyes have the dollar signs in the intro to ''[[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario Ware]] Touched'' after seeing the Nintendo DS console features and realising the money he could make from it, and probably some of the other ''[[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario Ware]]'' games in the series.
** Except for ''[[Wario Ware]]: Snapped'' in which coins are in Wario's eyes rather than the dollar signs, and [[Wario Ware]] Smooth Moves, in which the dollar signs did not appear at all.
* [[Disgaea|Princess Sapphire]] has naturally star shaped pupils. Flonne's eyes occasionally [[Stealth Pun|change to flames]] whenever she gets [[Hot
* Lemina in ''[[Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete|Lunar 2: Eternal Blue]]'' has the dollar sign version any time she makes money off something, or is thinking of a way to do so.
* ''[[Gaia Online]]'' has a series of glasses accessories that have this effect on your avatar. The track-invading [[Yaoi Fangirl]] from the '08 Olympics had a pair with swirlies, if I remember correctly.
