This trope has been Rogue Launched. Please make edits to the TLP draft instead. A character convinces at least one other character that a trope is happening, or has happened, even though it is not actually so. In other words, a trope is faked as part of a deliberate deception perpetrated by someone in-story. Feigning a Trope resembles Invoking a Trope in that a character consciously brings a trope into play. What is different is that, unlike an Invoked Trope, a Feigned Trope does not actually happen in the work's fictional reality—someone only thinks it does. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The audience can be in on the deception from the start, or they only learn about it in retrospect. In the latter case they may well be under the impression that a straight trope example is actually happening, up until the deception is revealed to them. Though this may superficially resemble a Subverted Trope, it is not: A subversion builds up an audience expectation for a trope to happen without following up on it; a Feigned Trope, on the other hand, appears to already have happened. The belief of other characters that it did happen may well be essential for the plot, and the deception may be exposed a considerable time after the trope seemed to occur. In any case there is a character who feigns an instance of the trope. If the author makes it look like the trope is happening, and then reveals it does not, that's Subverted Trope only. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) Sometimes the Feigning of a Trope is itself a separate trope: Fake Defector is feigned Face–Heel Turn Faked Rip Van Winkle is feigned Rip Van Winkle Fauxreigner is feigned Funny Foreigner Feigning Intelligence is feigned TV Genius (?) Playing Sick is feigned Sick Episode (?) Real Stitches for Fake Snitches is feigned The Stool Pigeon ('... possibly many more examples. This section needs discussion.) For tropes that often entail the Feigning of other tropes, see our indices of Truth and Lies, Infauxmation Desk, Gambit Index, and Disguise Tropes. |

Sabra "Stick" Klein from PreTeena is a feigning of the Sickly Neurotic Geek trope. It is hinted that Sabra's multiple allergies and food-phobias are down to her overprotective Jewish Mother. | |

Carmilla [Shared Dream]: When Laura first meets Carmilla, she is shocked to discover that Carmilla is the strange lady who inexplicably appeared one night in her sleeping room when Laura was six years old. Carmilla, noticing Laura's shock, relates that she saw Laura and her room in a dream she had as a child when she was six years old, and in which she saw Laura as a grown-up, thus convincing Laura that they saw each other in a shared dream. The ending of the story reveals that Carmilla is an ageless vampire, thus strongly implying that Laura's experience was no dream at all, and that Carmilla had entered Laura's room to suck her blood. | |

In the The Loud House episode "Snoop's On", when Luna realizes that Leni and Lincoln (and later Luan) read her secret diary, she starts to write fake diary entries where she and a classmate named Roxy do things like skipping school, getting tattoos, stay up all night at dance clubs and mess around, feigning both Toxic Friend Influence and "Walk on the Wild Side" Episode so that they will worry and admit out loud they're reading her diary while telling her to stop doing such things. | |

In The Lodge, Mia and Aiden feign that they and Grace have Death Amnesia and have been Dead All Along since the first night at the cabin, when she left a gas heater on, to make her think she accidentally killed them all with the fumes. They move things around, put up recordings to make Grace think she's hearing the voice of her dead father, hang themselves, and pose like corpses to terrify her. Unfortunately for them, she ends up having a psychotic break and believing them...which leads to her actually killing Richard and being about to kill Mia and Aiden in a murder-suicide, either under the belief that it'll wake them up or at least stop their torment. | |
