Cuteness Overload/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character explodes or is frozen in place after experiencing something so cute.

• Straight: When Alice saw Mr. Jangles, the Ridiculously Cute Critter, she emitted a loud "KAWAII~" and froze in place.
• Exaggerated: When Alice saw Mr. Jangles, she exploded, taking out 38.985872385% of the planet.
• Justified: Mr. Jangles emits pheromones / spores that inflict this effect to sapient critters to keep larger ones from eating him.
• Inverted:
  • Mr. Jangles froze when he saw Alice
  • Alternatively: When Alice saw Mr. Jangles, he rushed over to hug her.
  • Also: Mr. Jangles is an Eldritch Abomination and may actually cause her to freeze in terror.
• Subverted: "KAW-" but since Alice is a superheroine and Mr. Jangles is a supervillain, she proceed to kick his arses.
• Double Subverted: ...and then, after Mr. Jangles is beaten to pulp, Alice continue her "KAWAII~"-ing. Squick?
• Parodied: Mr. Jangles avoids being in the same presence as Alice, as if she sees him, he'll have to pull out the wheelbarrow to roll her out with.
• Deconstructed:
  • Alice completely froze when she saw Mr. Jangles, which allowed him to have his way with her.
  • Alternatively: Alice develops an obsession to Mr. Jangles, and stalks him.
• Reconstructed: Apparently "having his way with her" is really just cloning her for company.
• Zig Zagged: Alice doesn't know how to react when she sees Mr. Jangles.
• Averted: Alice didn't freeze when she saw Mr. Jangles.
• Enforced: "We want to make this creature appear to look very cute." "Let's have Alice see him, and freeze at the sight."
• Lampshaded: "Hey lady? Are you okay? You appear to be kind of still... lady?"
• Invoked: Mr. Jangles wears make-up and stuff to emphasize his cuteness.
• Defied: Mr. Jangles always dresses up like a mutant baby to prevent this from happening.
• Exploited: Mr. Jangles uses this technique to control Alice.
• Discussed: ???
• Conversed: ???
