For every “Trope” I get, I will post a TV trope for my muse.
A character that the other characters should recognize (or at least recognize as out of place) dons a disguise and is treated as neither recognizable nor conspicuous. This disguise is so completely transparent that the audience wants to shout "For the love of God, it's him!"
Dramatically Missing the Point.
Sometimes people can miss the point of things, due to being dense, stubborn, or lacking context, but the story treats this as a serious thing. The consequences can vary though, from a misunderstanding, to a tragedy, or even a Happy Ending.
“The Reason You Suck” Speech.
One character delivers a speech to another character on all the reasons why that other character sucks or is a horrible person.
Not So Stoic is what happens when the Stoic is pushed to the edge, and falls off. This is when the Stoic loses their façade and shows the world (or just their True Companions) that they aren't an emotionless automaton. They may be good at hiding it but they feel just as much as the rest of us. Likely to be very heartwrenching or extremely terrifying or both.
A character with a big mouth says something stupid or, better yet, self-incriminating, often with the subject of their commentary standing nearby or, better yet, right behind them. Usually the twin trope to or immediately followed by Did I Just Say That Out Loud? or That Came Out Wrong.
This character picks on the short girl for being short. They'll ask a woman for her age. They'll bug the flamboyant guy about his sexuality. And the worst part is, they don't realize what they're doing is rather painful for the person on the receiving end of the criticism. In the worst cases, they might not stop at one insult and even continue until someone forces them to stop, or the other person runs away crying. (Their reaction to this is probably: "Huh? What did I do?") What separates them from the Jerkass is that this person is actually a good person - they're just clueless to things that people might generally be sensitive to. To them, it was just a fun joke or an honest assessment - no offense intended. When others bring up the fact that what they're saying is hurting other people's feelings, they try to change.
