Baby Skeleton Devil With Eyes That Squirt Out Goo Toythat Ooze Goo From Their Eyes

I told yous to stop rubbing your eyes! Now look at them!

"I'1000 so happy I could cry, but I don't want to because it'due south really gross."

Or pus, or slime, or icky black stuff... If something's coming out of your eyes and it's non salty water and then you lot can bet your buttons that something pretty bad is happening to you. The trope comes in 2 flavours, which are, oddly, created to have the exact contrary effect on the audience:

Season one is designed to freak them out, and is usually a sign that the person has been infected by some horrible virus, or is being killed past weird supernatural means. Eye trauma is one of the easiest means to gross people out, and this method has the added advantage that the person tin can exist "cured" without having lost their vision permanently. Alternatively, information technology signifies that the "weeping" person is in some fashion inhuman—or at the very least a candidate for supervillainy and somewhat demonic entities and characters. In this context, it'south a close simile of the Deadly Nosebleed.

Flavour two, meanwhile, is used to signify someone's decease in a poetic and perchance even "beautiful" way, peculiarly if the character is a Tragic Villain. This is far less mutual, and the aim is not necessarily to freak out the audience but to add a layer of sadness to a death scene. Mopey vampires are particularly fond of this flavour. The undercurrent to this kind of encarmine tears is that the person doing the crying is in some cardinal way (exist it biologically or emotionally) incapable of doing and then through normal means—just is so overcome with emotion that they are doing and so anyway.

Alternatively, in that location'south also a third season used to signify seeing something and so squicky or just plain atrocious that the person'south eyes start bleeding from the awareness. This serves to showcase the object'south sheer Squick or full general painful suckiness, to the point of beingness a Dark-brown Notation of sorts. Quite commonly used on the Internet.

Along these lines, statuary or paintings doing this with the first flavour can hateful someone nowadays is utterly evil (if the items are holy relics) or that the detail itself is an Antiquity of Doom. With the second flavour, it ways the detail is a holy relic that's "manifesting" itself this fashion in response to some tragedy/holiness, whether of its own or those present.

Has nothing to exercise with the band in Wizards of Waverly Place.
