Squish the Cheeks | comment |
An event that occurs from time to time when a character gets something or someone forced against the side of their face which causes their cheeks to press against him/herself. A person getting their cheeks squished very rarely happens in real life; since people's shoulders and hips are a lot wider than their heads, simply jam-packing people together as tightly as possible will still leave plenty of space between their heads, meaning that you have to have people deliberately leaning in quite a bit to get someone's cheeks properly squished, and most people generally tend to avoid making contact with such a personal area. In media however, someone getting their cheeks squished can occur much more often. Squished cheeks are a peculiar facial expression that can be used to gain a certain reaction from the audience. When a character's cheeks are squished, they appear chubbier than normal and are more difficult to take seriously, in addition to looking inferior. It might also force their lips to pucker, which adds to this effect. Due to that, this trope can tie in to Rule of Cute, when a character that's most likely The Cutie has their cheeks squished to make them appear even cuter than usual. There are other situations where this trope can apply. | |

Disney's Hercules: Hades likes to put his hands on Meg and plays with her cheeks on occasion to mess with her. Hercules had his face squished several times. The first time when teenage Herc reunites with Pegasus, who squishes his cheeks as he headbutts him. The second time, after adult Herc saves Meg from Nessus, Phil tries snapping Herc out of his lovesick stare. The third time when Herc struggles to get away from fangirls, lying flat on the floor with a girl's feet on his face as Phil is beside him. The fourth time, when Meg uses her foot to turn Hercules's head around, squishing his cheek in the process, so their eyes will meet. |

In Sound! Euphonium's anime adaptation, people tend to place their hands on main character Kumiko Oumae's face more than she would expect. A good example is when Reina suddenly runs up to her and presses Kumiko's face together during one of their many personal chats. | |

Happens so many times in My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) that you could do a Drinking Game on it. It happens to the Dragon Tempest Shadow, when she catches the ponies. Verko while mocking her squishes her face like a toy. Guess what happens next. It happens to a few of the Mane Six when they all stuff themselves into Pinkie's party cannon to rescue Twilight. Just like in the show, it happens to Twilight Sparkle the most. Pinkie Pie gives a Rousing Speech to Twilight Sparkle during the friendship festival. It would have been more effective if Pinkie wasn't pressing her snout against Twilight's. Happens to Twilight less than a minute after the previous example, when during the song "We've got this together", Pinkie Pie grabs the rest of the Mane Six for a Group Hug, and Twilight, while sandwiched between Fluttershy and Rarity, gets her cheeks tightly squished into each other by the other pony's cheeks. This also happens to be the current picture for the trope image. During the city escape, Twilight carries Pinkie Pie to safety then crashes on the ground, squishing her cheeks upwards. During Tempest Shadow's Villain Song, she forces Twilight's head up by putting her hoof on Twilight's cheek, which slightly presses it up on her face. |
