Everyone has their own opinions, still, so if you think anything below is inappropriate, you can bring it up on the discussions page. Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad, and that's why a lot have manifested here as FanFic archetypes. Many of these can also be justified in certain circumstances, even if they're usually cliché and boring.
