I Ate What clean up. The trope is when a character eats something, unaware of what they are consuming, and then reacts in disgust after they find out what it is. Misuse will be deleted or moved to another trope when applicable. Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be removed or commented out depending on the amount of context within the entry. Also, I Ate What is not a character trope.

** The Commemoration Gallery. An art gallery that, whether by accident or intention, overlaps with an every-growing number of alternate versions of itself. Step through a doorway, and rather than reaching the room you were looking at you enter an alternate version of it from an entirely different version of it. Step through the wrong one, and you'll find yourself trapped in a room with no exits because all its doors open to solid walls in alternate versions.

** The doorways of the Commemoration Gallery shift between alternate versions of itself, but you can navigate it relatively safely so long as you never enter a room that doesn't have at least one other visible entrance. You can cycle around it as many times as needed, but eventually you'll find a clear way through. Additionally, the entrance room and the room at the t of it always remain consistent.

->''"My name is David Ward. I am in Eskew."''
''I Am in Eskew'' is a single season {{horror}} podcast that ran from January 2018 to November 2019.
David Ward was an ordinary person, until he ended up in Eskew, a city where fear and pain is adored, so long as it happens to someone else. In an effort to keep his sanity, he begins to record his stories and send them to the outside world, and while most are lost entirely, a few make it through.

* GrayRainOfDepression: It's always raining in Eskew, which well represents the feeling of being in a city of nightmares with no idea how you got there and no way out.
* MagicAIsMagicA: Played with. There's no set of universal rules that can be applied to everything in Eskew, but everything has its own rules. While you might not survive long enough to learn them, knowing the rules for a particular hazard can make the difference between an inescapable maze and a slightly inconvenient place to live.
* MagicRealism: Eskew just is the way it is, and the populace is used to it. Sure, there's a place in town called the Endless Square and there are noises at night you'd do best to ignore, but that doesn't stop the newspaper from being printed or bars from closing at midnight.
