History Tropers / AriseToBurnAtDawn

* BiTheWay
** AmbiguouslyBi - before I came out of the proverbial closet.
** SuddenlySexuality - For some people who thought I was this, me being bi came as a complete shock to them. [[TransparentCloset Much to my shock.]]

My [[{{Nerd}} nerds]].

* MamaBear/PapaWolf - ''Do not harm children in my presence.''

* RousseauWasRight/HumansAreGood - I keep trying to believe this.

Adorkable - Evidently, many think that this trope applies to me. [[BlatantLies I have no idea why they might think that.]]
BiTheWay

BerserkButton - Hurting my friends [[RelativeButton or family]], or insulting them in my presence is a very, very bad idea.

FriendToAllChildren - And apparently they return the sentiment. I love the little tykes.
FriendToAllLivingThings - Especially dogs.
GoodFeelsGood -
KatanasAreJustBetter - I own several. I prefer handguns.

MamaBear/PapaWolf - ''Do not harm children in my presence.''
MoralityPet - A few, [[FriendToAllChildren all in the form of small children.]]
NeutralGood - Alignmentwise, this is where I fit best.
PunchClockHero - Before, I was honest with people and helped them with their problems mostly because [[BadLiar I sucked at lying]] and helping them stopped their complaining. [[GoodFeelsGood But then they started calling me a good person.]]
RousseauWasRight/HumansAreGood - I keep trying to believe this.
SpannerInTheWorks - A lot of people with nefarious intentions have had their plans completely ruined by me finding out about them. Suck it, Lauren.
WideEyedIdealist - To a point. Not so wide-eyed anymore, but it still applies.

Tropes that apply to me:

Tropes that apply to me:

* AccidentalPervert - Oh, ''Jesus Christ...''
* {{Adorkable}} - From what I understand, everyone seems to think this applies to me. [[BlatantLies I have no idea why they'd think that.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor - Ninth grade, I once made the statement that it was impossible to make me [[LuminescentBlush blush.]] I was sitting with several girls who took that as a challenge, [[OhCrap and proceeded to cover me with kisses, hugs, and attempts to find my]] [[FantasticArousal "hot spot."]], which was actually found a month later completely by accident. Turns out I was very wrong about that blushing thing.
* BeingGoodSucks - My HeelFaceTurn more or less brought me a world of hurt. [[WorthIt Wouldn't change it]] [[GoodFeelsGood for the world.]]
* BerserkButton - Just a few. A [[TheQuietOne Quiet One]] like myself tends to become very vocal (and angry) around several things.
*** People who say homosexuality (or [[AuthorOnBoard bisexuality]]) is a choice and gay marriage should not be allowed. I had better have misheard you.
*** People who abuse their children or the children around them.
*** People who tolerate, endorse, or participate in discrimination and prejudice. Including my own mother. We got into a discussion about this once before. It ended with an argument. We haven't had it since.
*** People who bully other people.
* BewareTheNiceOnes - I'm a calm person, and it takes a lot to cause me true anger. But it can happen. The last time it happened, I snapped, and reduced a girl (who admittedly kind of deserved it) to tears and heartbreak.
** Also, when something angers me enough to snap, like racism (ignorant racism at that), it takes visible control of myself to keep me from reducing that person to tears.
* BigBeautifulWoman - My personal preference in women. [[HairSpray Why have a twig when I can climb the whole tree?]]
* BiTheWay
* ChallengeGamer - Just recently starting becoming this. [[NintendoHard Battletoads]], anyone?
** DanceDanceRevolution - I'm not good enough at this game to beat any song, but I'm pretty darn skilled at it.
* CuddleBug - not to the extremes as most examples of the trope, but I really like hugs and cuddling with people. I got it from [[{{Nakama}} my high]] [[CuddleBug school friends]], especially the ManicPixieDreamGirl. Many [[TheGlomp high-velocity tackle hugs]] and much MarshmallowHell ensued.
* BrilliantButLazy - I am actually very intelligent. But my grade point average doesn't show it. Stupid homework. Getting in the way of my gaming.
* ComingOutStory - As a rule, most LGBT people have one. Usually, the lucky ones have short stories. Mine.... isn't. But it's not all bad.
** [[CastFullOfGay A Lot Of Friends That Are LGBT]] - Not that I knew it at first.
** AmbiguouslyBi - Me personally. For a few people, it wasn't exactly a surprise. But for some, it was...
** [[SuddenlySexuality Suddenly Sexuality]] - A few of my friends were taken by surprise. My family ''most certainly'' never saw it coming. Given my mother's reaction, [[HolierThanThou Keeping her in the dark as long as I did]] ''[[HideYourGays was probably a very good idea.]]''
** [[GayAesop Bi Aesop]]
*** 1) There is nothing wrong with you.
*** 2) You are who you are. You didn't pick your orientation. That is okay.
*** 3) ''God still loves you.''
* ChronicHeroSyndrome - A lot of the time, I don't feel like helping people with their problems, sitting and listening to them wax eloquent on their bad days, or even stepping in to resolve a hostile situation between friends. Sometimes, the people I care about just piss me off. On some days, [[BeingGoodSucks being altruistic and caring can really suck.]] But I keep doing it, even when I don't get why.
* ConsummateLiar - I am very, very good at deceit. It's not something I'm at all proud of.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome
* {{Dandere}} - I'm usually really quiet around people I don't know. I'm trying to break out of this shell, and I've been really successful, but this still kind of counts.
* DarkIsNotEvil - I'm a nice person, really. I hand out quarters to little kids to toss in fountains, hold doors open for the elderly, and am a general sweet person. I just really like the color black.
* DeadpanSnarker - I love sarcasm. People don't find it nearly as attractive as they used to.
* DoubleEntendre - Oh, for the love of heaven, ''and how.'' I and my friends are veritable innuendo masters.
* DrugsAreBad - Yes. [[AuthorOnBoard Yes they are.]]
* FantasticArousal - The aforementioned hot spot. I mean, WTF.
** IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn - She really didn't. But once she realized exactly what she found, she had endless amounts of fun teasing me with it. And so did everyone else, when they found out about it.
* FriendToAllChildren - I just love the little tykes. Little bundles of purity in human form. I tend to believe that innocence is something that should be preserved as long as humanly possible. Which is why ''[[UnstoppableRage someone had]] '''[[TranquilFury damn]]''' [[BerserkButton well]] [[TheBerserker not]] [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou hurt one]] [[PrepareToDie in my presence.]]''
* FriendToAllLivingThings - ''And how.'' Back when I was a kid, I talked to trees, and fed anthills. What? Trees can get lonely, and ants can get hungry. Don't look at me like that.
* GodIsGood - What I think, being Christian and all.
* GoodIsNotNice - Subverted, most of the time, but occasionally played straight. I try to be a good person, and if I can do it by being nice, I do so. But sometimes, [[BrutalHonesty it means having to verbally go upside someone's head.]]
* GoodWithNumbers - I'm a physics major. It kind of requires it.
* HeelFaceTurn - I was a real asshole once upon a time, but now I'm a lot nicer.
* KatanasAreJustBetter - I own a few. [[TheGunslinger I prefer handguns.]]
*** WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter - I own one of these too. [[TheGunslinger I still prefer handguns.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor - What I keep trying to be, but I don't succeed at it very well. And when I have a serious lapse in moral judgement, [[MyGreatestFailure it stays with me for a long time.]] See TheSnarkKnight below.
* KnightInSourArmor - A weird combination of both Knight tropes. I believe whole-heartedly that all human beings have a chance for redemption, no matter what they've done, but I'm also aware that many people don't want it, don't think they need it, and exploit those that do. But they're worth giving a chance. [[WideEyedIdealist We all are.]]
* {{Lolicon}} - Not just [[AvertedTrope averted]], but disembowled with a dull spoon. I find it (and most of the people who enjoy hentai of it) [[{{Squick}} utterly disgusting.]]
* MamaBear/PapaWolf - ''Do not harm children in my presence.''
* ManicPixieDreamGirl - I didn't stay a ShrinkingViolet after running into my group of friends, some of which served as this somewhat, but one girl just took the cake.
--> [[LoveInterest Fr]][[GenkiGirl ie]][[BrilliantButLazy nd]]: Troper!!! [[TheGlomp *hugs*]]
--> Me: [[OhCrap I....]][[MarshmallowHell can'tttt....]][[LuminescentBlush breathe!!!!]]
* MartialPacifist - I usually resort to violence as a last resort, partially due to my build (I'm pretty skinny). That won't stop me from hurting someone who tries to hurt my friends, or kick the asses of anyone who dares to hurt or threaten children in my presence.
* TheMcCoy - I am highly empathetic, to say the least.
* MoralityPet - Numerous, [[FriendToAllChildren all in the form of younger children.]]
* MyGreatestFailure - Several, in fact. The biggest of which involves a girl I had a relationship with that ended badly.
* NeutralGood - Alignment-wise, this is where I fit best.
* NerdsAreVirgins - Somehow, played straight, averted, and subverted, all at the same time. It's complicated.
* NeverHurtAnInnocent - One of my core beliefs. Which is why other people had better not try. [[BerserkButton Not in]] ''[[AriseToBurnAtDawn my]]'' [[BerserkButton presence]]. '' '''[[WouldntHurtAChild This troper]] [[WouldNotShootAGoodGuy does]] [[BullyHunter not]] [[PaedoHunt tolerate]] [[FriendToAllLivingThings that.]]'' '''
* NotSoHarmless - One person I knew, and really wish I didn't, decided to play mind games with some friends of mine. I put a stop to it, [[BewareTheNiceOnes by openly threatening her with death]] if her antics hurt their child, which they very nearly did. I'm not proud of it, but the fact remains [[StartOfDarkness that I very much would've gone through with it.]] One does not hurt [[{{Nakama}} this troper's friends.]] Or [[ChildrenAreInnocent kids.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness - I'm usually very nice and kind to others, even to people who annoy me. [[TranquilFury When that changes,]] in the words of a friend, shit just got real.
* OnlySaneMan - For heaven's sakes, ''yes...''
** NotSoAboveItAll - heh heh, yeah...
* {{Otaku}} - You'd better believe it.
* PayEvilUntoEvil - Averted. Utterly. People who use evil methods against evil people [[NotSoDifferent are no better than the people they hurt with them.]] Besides, I"m a Christian. [[TheBible "Do not fight evil with evil, but overcome evil with good."]]
** That said, I'm not perfect. See NotSoHarmless above.
* PerkyGoth - Though I've been averting this trope as of late.
* PersonOfMassDestruction - I don't mean to! I'm just [[{{Dojikko}} really clumsy.]]
* PerverseSexualLust - Don't ask. Okay, you can, but its probably not a good idea.
* ThePowerOfFriendship - You'd be surprised how many difficult times this got me through.
* ThePowerOfLove - Saved my life. Literally. It apparently helped me and my friends save each other's lives more than once.
* ThePowerOfRock - [[RuleOfThree I had to do it.]]
* PrecociousCrush - A childsitter's frequent occupational hazard. I was also no stranger to them when I was a kid as well.
* PunchClockHero - When I was younger, I told the truth a lot simply because [[BadLiar I sucked at lying]], and helping people with their problems and fixing them stopped them from annoying me with them... and then I found that GoodFeelsGood.
* ShrinkingViolet - I'm a very shy person around people I don't know, usually, unless I'm hopped up on caffeine or I'm in a large impersonal group. But once I am out of my shell, [[{{Understatement}} hoo boy.]]
* TenchiSolution - Averted, every time. Several past girlfriends once offered me the chance to be in an open relationship. I was [[{{TranquilFury}} annoyed with that]], and [[AboveTheInfluence I refused.]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Strongly.]]
* ThanksForTheMammary - happened ''all the time'' in high school. [[HilarityEnsues Wacky hijinks ensued]] when I (and usually the girl) freaked out as a result.
* ThatCameOutWrong - Happens to me all the time with people I'm attracted to. ''All the time.''
* TheQuietOne - Part of being a ShrinkingViolet. Unless there's really something that sparks me to speak, or [[SubvertedTrope unless I'm around people I know well and am comfortable with]], of course.
* [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight Screw The Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]] - Usually, I try to avoid this method, but can fly straight towards it if my BerserkButton gets pressed. This includes ethical codes, federal and state laws, and even [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking rules of politeness at a dinner table.]]
* TheSnarkKnight - I'm a WideEyedIdealist, and I take it very badly when I don't live up to my own moral code.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech - I write them, in fact, in the form of impersonal rants that don't mention the people who angered me enough to do so, and let anyone read them who cares to. Its basically a way of saying "You need to stop doing this. You know who you are."
* [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Hero?]] - Several of my friends see me as the closest thing to a saint they've met. They're mistaken, but it doesn't stop them from thinking so. So whenever my [[MyGreatestFailure moral judgment suffers a serious lapse]], they do not disappoint with telling me how badly I screwed up.
* WideEyedIdealist - I generally believe RousseauWasRight, and that [[HeelFaceTurn anyone can make a change for the better.]]
* WiseBeyondTheirYears - Myself, and other people I know. Makes for [[{{Nakama}} a wonderful support group!]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds - Almost was, once upon a time. [[BewareTheQuietOnes No, you do]] ''[[HeWhoFightsMonsters not]]'' [[WhosLaughingNow get details.]]
* WouldNotShootAGoodGuy - not literally. More like, "Would not defame the name of a decent guy but would instead come to his defense in a trying time even though he and I thoroughly depise each other over personality differences."

* Adorkable - From what I understand, everyone seems to think this applies to me. [[BlatantLies I have no idea why they'd think that.]]

* BiTheWay - which has led to a few very heated religious debates. With people in my own religion. So much for tolerance, eh?

* MamaBear - ''Do not harm children in my presence.''

* MoralityPet - Numerous, [[FriendToAllChildren all in the form of younger children.]] I had a few back when I was... [[DarkAndTroubledPast unwell...]], but I always tried to keep them from going the way I did.

* PerkyGoth

* {{Tsundere}} - Oddly enough, a certain female acquaintance of mine acted this way, although they were just mean at the time. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold I didn't appreciate it]].... [[LoveEpiphany at first.]] [[CantSpitItOut Awkwardness]] [[HilarityEnsues ensued.]] ''[[WillTheyOrWontThey Really]]'' [[EveryoneCanSeeIt ensued.]]

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend - Doesn't stop my friends from saying it ad nauseum, especially when [[EveryoneCanSeeIt they can tell]] I really want her to be. And since I am [[SarcasmMode totally]] [[BadLiar awesome]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial at lying]], I really don't help things along.

** AmbiguouslyBisexual - Me personally. For a few people, it wasn't exactly a surprise. But for some, it was...

** [[AmbiguouslyGay Ambiguously Bi]] - Me personally. For a few people, it wasn't exactly a surprise. But for some, it was...

* BewareTheNiceOnes - I'm a calm person, and it takes a lot to cause me true anger. But it can happen. The last time it happened, I snapped, and reduced a girl (who admittedly kind of deserved it) to tears and heartbreak. Granted, [[MyGreatestFailure I'm still pretty messed up over how I really, really fucked things up with that girl]], but there it is.

* CareBearStare - Used on me, twice, with major results and personality changes.

** "Sure, that'd be awesome. Getting smacked in the forehead by a meteor. Sure, the rest of the city would be absolutely decimated, but I'm glad me ''dying'' would amuse you."

* NeutralGood - Kind of required for a FriendToAllLivingThings.

* NeverHurtAnInnocent - One of my core beliefs. Which is why other people had better not try. [[BerserkButton Not in]] ''[[AriseToBurnAtDawn my]]'' [[BerserkButton presence]]. '' '''[[WouldntHurtAChild This troper]] [[WouldNotShootAGoodGuy does]] [[BullyHunter NOT]] [[PaedoHunt tolerate]] [[FriendToAllLivingThings that.]]'' '''

* BeingGoodSucks - My HeelFaceTurn more or less brought me a world of hurt. [[WorthIt Wouldn't change it]] [[MyGreatestSecondChance for the world.]]

* BeingGoodSucks - My HeelFaceTurn more or less brought me a world of hurt. [[WorthIt Wouldn't change it]][[MyGreatestSecondChance for the world.]]

** Which of course, leads into...

* BrilliantButLazy - I am actually very intelligent. But my grade point average doesn't show it. Stupid homework. Getting in the way of my [[GamerGirl gaming.]]

* ChronicHeroSyndrome - A lot of the time, I don't feel like helping people with their problems, sitting and listening to them wax eloquent on their bad days, or even stepping in to resolve a hostile situation between friends. Sometimes, the people I care about just piss me off. On some days, [[BeingGoodSucks being nice can really suck.]] But I keep doing it, even when I don't get why.

There are many of us - [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits many who fall under the same categorization we do.]] There are some who can quote general relativity and particle physics like it was nothing. There are those of us who remember [[{{Toonami}} Toonami]], and all the amazingness it had before it was unrighteously struck down before its time. There are [[{{Otaku}} ota]][[OtakuSurrogate ku]], who watch anime religiously and bow down at the altar of all that is Japanese animation (and [[{{Cosplay}} cosplay]]). There are gamers, such as I, who are seen as socially awkward introverts and yet wipe the floor with [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] using [[KingdomHearts a 14 year old boy with a]] [[LethalJokeWeapon giant key]] for a weapon ([[FinalFantasyVII or a certain spiky-haired former SOLDIER]] with [[LimitBreak sixteen hits with a]] {{BFS}}).

Hey there. I'm a nineteen-year-old all-around-happy gamer/otaku/goth. Nice to meetcha!!!!!
I kinda tend to treat life like a video game. The RealLife page was really fun for me because of it, so....

There are those whose minds and hearts reside in Middle Earth with the such greats as [[LordOfTheRings Boromir and Gandalf]]. Others attend [[HarryPotter Hogwarts]] and still mourn the tragic fate of [[ReverseMole Severus]] [[TheAtoner Snape]] and [[BigGood Dumbledore]], and those of the [[LaResistance Order of the Phoenix]]. There are also those who fight [[StarWars The Empire]] in the name of restoring the [[KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Old Republic]] with hearts of Jedi and [[RightMakesMight devotion more powerful]] than the [[LaserBlade lightsabers]] they hold - as well as there are [[EvilCounterpart Sith]], hearts dark and intentions evil.
