Basic Trope: A very large entity such as a giant cries, drools, bleeds, etc. and the bodily fluid is cumbersome for humans below.
- Straight: Alice cries, which floods a street.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice's tears flood the world.
- Alice is crying, peeing, drooling, and bleeding at the same time, causing a massive flood.
- Downplayed: Alice cries a Single Tear that drenches Bob.
- Justified: Alice was too sad to pay attention to the humans when she cried.
- Inverted: Alice drinks a lake, meaning the humans can no longer swim in it.
- Subverted: Alice thinks she's about to cry but manages not to.
- Double Subverted: But when she hears another sad thing, then she cries.
- Parodied:
- Zigzagged':
- Averted:
- Alice never discharges any bodily fluids, at least not when any humans are around.
- There are no giants at all.
- Enforced:
- Lamsphaded: "When she cries, our problems are way worse than just a bad mood!"
- Invoked: Bob deliberately makes Alice sad, hoping she will cry because he wants a swimming pool.
- Exploited: Bob takes the salt from Alice's tears and sells it.
- Defied:
- Alice goes away from humans to cry.
- The humans try to avoid making Alice cry.
- Discussed: "I hope you don't start crying — that'd be a disaster!"
- Conversed: "When giants start crying, humans had better watch out!"
- Implied: We see Alice looking sad, and a bunch of confused humans swimming in a large lake.
- Deconstructed:
- Reconstructed:
- Played for Laughs: Alice drools, leaving Bob Covered in Gunge.
- Played for Drama: Alice cries and accidentally drowns Bob.
- Played for Horror: Alice is stabbed to death by a Serial Killer and bleeds all over the place.
