History Tropers / Darkclaw

Jan 25, 2011

Gotta do my Philosophy Essay. Damn, I hate essays. I really, REALLY, REEAALLLY do. But I have to go do it. So I will leave you with this update on my writings. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Did I mention I hate essays?]]

I am currently working on [[GreyAndGrayMorality blurring the lines of morality]]. Also, I have to work on my characters sheet since their moralities are changing. Was having fun but then my essay came up :P So yeah.

Anyways, will talk again soon hopefully. Bye for now.

Favourite series:
{{Baccano}}, {{Batman The Animated Series}}, {{Cowboy Bebop}}, {{Darker Than Black}}, {{Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex}}, {{Justice League}}, {{Street Fighter}}, {{Soul Calibur}}, {{Supernatural}}

Tropes Created:

{{Amazonian Beauty}}...[[AuthorAppeal somehow it makes sense that this would be my first trope made]].

[[folder: Vandalize In Here!]]

Tropes that apply to me or my writings:

* {{Badass Bookworm}}: Not a clear-cut example. Aiming to be one. Can fight, but can't act the part. Too nice.

Current Post -

Finished my exams :) To celebrate, I bought the {{Baccano}} DVD set and watched it start to finish. Awesome series.

Currently wondering about the DoubleStandard. Don't know why it exists, but I hate it.

On that topic, in my previous post, I alluded to a trope that's part of it, AllAmazonsWantHercules. I said I was not exploiting it or anything. It's true that I'm not as I want to be buff (or, to be more specific, buffer than I am currently) but honestly, I don't care if any person, male or female, is buffer than me. Or better at kicking butt than me. Or anything really. I see it like there's AlwaysSomeoneBetter, so why care? All I can do is get buffer for me and enjoy doing so and continue my fighting training. I enjoy it anyways.

Also, I have already encountered some humorous and not so humorous things about the bodybuilding lifestyle and trying to get a HeroicBuild. A lot of ladies I know are encouraging me to get buffer, but the second I say I like my ladies to have muscle, it's either:

A- "Oh so you have a fetish. Whatever."
B- "[[DoubleStandard Women aren't supposed to be buff]]. [[{{Squick}} Eww]]."

I hate DoubleStandards. If a woman wants to build muscle, it shouldn't be {{squick}} just because "traditionally" men are usually buffer (Seriously, someone used this "excuse" on me). I think anyone who is fit and wants to be buff, can do it and should if they want to. But I'm biased, since I like my ladies to have legs like [[StreetFighter Chun-Li]] and upper bodies like SheHulk, with a healthy dose of the StatuesqueStunner trope. So why is it that it's cool for me to be buff but not women? ARGH, I could go crazy from trying to understand the DoubleStandard.

On a humorous note, someone recently believed I was jealous of [[AmazonianBeauty Chun-Li]]. Specifcally, her legs. I rebuffed with that I am not and find her legs to be sexy. The reaction was surprisingly that quite a few others find her legs [[FetishFuel hot]] as well. Some still denied it though.

Oh, and my writing is going well but I'm on a CRAZY deadline. And I swear I won't talk nearly as much about muscle next post. I have Bipolar and OCD, so I tend to fixate on topics sometimes, [[ApologizesALot sorry]]. Still, it's being CursedWithAwesome for the most part though...tons of imagination and my fixations allow me to focus like crazy on my goals. More on writing next post though :P

See ya soon :)

Previous Update - Jan 6th, 2011

I now am attempting to build my own HeroicBuild. Seriously. I am dieting and bodybuilding now. It has interested me for a while and I've worked out a lot, but never really attempted to do hardcore natural bodybuilding. To my surprise, it's actually going well. The dieting isn't too bad, and I love to work out...in fact, my personal trainer wants me to not work out too much because now I may be overdoing it in my pursuit of a buff bod. Oh well.

Sadly, I am not showing my abs yet and that could take a while to show. On the plus side, my arms and legs are noticeable. But my left bicep is a bit smaller than my right. So I'm going to work it out a lot more. Apparently with my mesomorph body structure, I could get seriously jacked in a couple of years.

Told you I was serious. And no, I am not only doing this to invoke/exploit AllAmazonsWantHercules. Though I have learned that female bodybuilders tend to stay in relationships with fellow bodybuilders longer than those who don't bodybuild themselves, on average (according to my trainer and some bodybuilders, male and female, that I've met). I'm doing this to get buff, because I just want to. And maybe, just a bit, to get an AmazonianBeauty girlfriend. [[BlatantLies Actually, I'm not doing it for that reason at all]]. (If you have no clue that I like muscle on my ladies, see my entry for {{Fetish}} below...and I guess I want muscle on myself as well.)

Until next post, see ya.

Post stuff here and talk to me!

B- "[[DoubleStandard Women aren't supposed to be buff]]. [[Squick Eww]]."

* ICallItVera: My left arm is "Megan" (named after MeganFox) and my right arm is Morrigan (named after Morrigan of {{Darkstalkers}} fame. My aim is to make my arms extremely buff and noticeable, along with the rest of my body. Then when people ask about my arms, I can call them by name. I'm weird. I know.

Last essay is done! XD XD XD! Oh, but I still have an exam. :( :( :(

Trying to get my essays done. ARGH!

Also won't be troping as often for about a week. Or doing anything for a week. Exams. Yay. :P

Will still be on somewhat though.

And I'm finishing editing what I believe is my {{Magnum Opus}} and trying to master the art of pitching an anime. Which would be the aforementioned {{Magnum Opus}}. Yeah.

* {{Author Appeal}}: Does the story have {{Badass}} {{Action Girl}}s? Does the story have mythological beings? And is there at least one buff {{Hot Amazon}}? And lots of {{Fanservice}}/{{Fetish Fuel}} (for as many tastes as possible)? If so, there is a good chance I wrote it. (Except for one play I wrote, it only has mythological beings.)

Still trying to sort out the {{Hot Amazon}} trope thing. Just look at the discussion at the Trope Repair Shop. It's getting there. Check out my YKTTW by the way, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=zejssuduf8tw8cn4l5qfdy6w (Amazonian Beauty)...though it won't be there for long, since {{Hot Amazon}} is being sorted out.

* {{Fetish}}: Due to some health problems, I hit the gym. {{I got better}} but in the process, realized just how attractive I found women with muscles at the gym. Fitness models, female bodybuilders, all of them. Totally have a fetish now for them. It can be seen in my writings, see {{Author Appeal}} above...though to my credit, I'm trying to tone it down. That was not meant to be an {{incredibly lame pun}}. Despite my fetish, I have been attracted to many different women that don't fit my fetish at all.

Nothing sadly.

At home due to an injury, and trying to sort out the Hot Amazon Trope Repair Shop discussion by making another Amazon-based trope. Not easy. Screwed up on making a YKTTW for a new trope, which some people believe already exists under another but that trope apparently is supposed to mean something else. I am such a noob.

Which is fitting since it is my first day as a troper. Does anyone still use the word "noob"?

* {{Mood Whiplash}}: I can be VERY happy to the point of sunshine and lollipops most of the time. The other 10% of the time I can be down.

* {{Wham Episode}}: LOVE THIS TROPE. I have to be careful when writing to not fall into {{Mandatory Twist Ending}} just because Whams so much.
