Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A character is wearing a piece of clothing, often a T-Shirt, which will have some phrase or logo on it that will alter for no explainable reason, so as to fit the mood or feeling of the person wearing. Presumably since these thoughts and emotions are so close to their heart that they rub off on a nearby surface. Sometimes, the character's mood will spread to another close-by accessory or element. A Sub-Trope of Expressive Accessory. Related to Talking with Signs. Compare Fun T-Shirt. |

In the second page of Homestuck, when John grimaces after the player tries to name him "Zoosmell Pooplord", the character on his shirt does the same. Similarly, on this page the shirt takes on an apprehensive expression mirroring John's. The picture of a record on Dave's shirt becomes broken after he gets his ass kicked and his katana broken by Bro. However, it stays that way afterwards. |

An episode of The Twilight Zone (1985), "I of Newton", where a supernatural character wears a T-shirt whose slogan changes whenever the camera's not looking. Inverted while the slogans are all appropriate in a general sense, they don't specifically track with the character's emotions. | |

When Howard Tayler, the writer and artist of Schlock Mercenary, appears in one of the arcs as a sort of Psychopomp for the currently-dead Commander Andreyasn, he wears a Schlock T-shirt with an ever-changing expression. It does not match Howard's own expression, however, but rather reacts to what's being said and done. | |

The Wotch: Jason the character has a shirt that has the letters CMX inside a little yellow starburst. Editor Jason, the avatar of one of the authors (seen in filler strips), has it constantly in flux, often emoticons or 'net slang, but sometimes full (short) words (such as "OUCH" when he's getting bopped over the head by his assistant, Editor Ani.) When not written by Jason, Editor Jason's shirt is strictly limited to emoticons. | |
