![]() ![]() Akis: In "Talent Show", the girl performing in the talent show has X's for eyes when she faints from Akis shocking her.If the eyes change color depending on mood, that's Living Mood Ring. If a character's pupils are an odd shape normally, you're dealing with Exotic Eye Designs. This trope is named for Wingdings, a "dingbat" typeface created by Microsoft which comes pre-installed on most modern personal computers, consisting of assorted symbols.Ĭompare Glowing Eyes, Fireball Eyeballs, Hellish Pupils, Henohenomoheji, Reflective Eyes, and Mind-Control Eyes. Copies of an item the character is looking at: Impressed, or wants the item.Used mostly in anime, but has fallen mostly out of favor by now. They could also indicate that the character is Happy, Joyous, or Blissed. Inverted hashtags: Brief moments of intense emotion (of any kind), exertion, or pain.Spinning swirls often convey a similar effect. The character is being forced to act against their will alternately, it can mean despair. Deep shaded irises with no pupils to speak of: Drugged or under mind control.Frequently used by American comic strips. Circles around pupils and nothing else: shock, insanity, or rage.Stars: Excitement, determination, or dreaming of fame and fortune.If a machine senses it's being moved around in an attempt to cheat (like being kicked), it'll throw up this message and stop working.

Aside from our own trope No-Sell, this is somewhat of a Forgotten Trope now because mechanical cash registers have been virtually extinct for half a century, though the term 'no sale' is still used in the retail business. The eyes are based on the tabs that would display on an old mechanical register. note "No Sale" is a command that opens a cash register's drawer without, um, making a sale. No Sale: Used in western cartoons after a blow to the head.Daggers/ Fire: Extreme anger and/or intent to kill someone for something unforgivable.Or - depending on what you're reading - an orgasm. Can also just be used as a sign of shock at discovering or seeing truly incredible amounts of money. Often accompanied with a cash register sound. Currency signs, usually dollar ($), yen (¥), pound (£), or euro (€): Greedy.Spirals: Dazed, confused, terrified, dizzy, or knocked out (See also Mind-Control Eyes).May also be a feature in depictions of clowns. Sometimes, both eyes will combine into a single, longways X. Comical depictions of corpses or ghosts will have their tongues sticking out as well as this. X or +: Dead or asleep without dreaming.So literally, that their eyes become their innermost thoughts projected in very clear symbols for all to see. For animated characters, the eyes are the windows to the soul-literally. ![]()
