History Tropers / PeabodySam

Why, hello there. You might know me as the host of ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG''. I also wrote ''FanFic/Scene24JohnnyThunderBlowsThisTacoStand'', which won Website/{{BZPower}}'s Caveat Scriptor Comedies Contest. I co-authored ''FanFic/{{LMS}}'' with fellow troper Tropers/{{Primis}}, and Tropers/JohnAlexanderHitchcock took a just-for-fun Steam chat and published it as ''FanFic/GManMeetsTheMysteryMan''. In what may be a rather cruel irony, my best-known work is also ([[StylisticSuck intentionally]]) one of my worst: ''BOB.EXE'', that trollpasta that caused WebVideo/SomeOrdinaryGamers to burst out in high-pitched laughter for fifteen seconds straight. Frankly, there's not much else that's interesting about me, so move along, will you? There's nothing to see here.

A Website/BZPower fanfic exploring the origins of the website's mascot, Tohu. It was originally written in 2006, and then a complete {{rewrite}} was written in 2008.

* RecycledInSpace: ''The Search for the Mask of Light'' is ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''... IN Toys/{{BIONICLE}}!

Written in 2009 to commemorate five years of writing stories on Website/BZPower, ''Five Years Too Many'' explores what happens to my characters after I've killed them off in their respective stories.

A 2017 ''[[Toys/BIONICLE2015 BIONICLE Generation 2]]'' fanfic, starring a Gen 2 interpretation of Gresh. It was written for Website/BZPower's "The Legend Continues" contest, and ultimately made it into the final round of voting.

A 2014 Wiki/{{Trollpasta|Wiki}} based on ''VideoGame/LEGOUniverse'' and ''VideoGame/SonicExe'', originally written as an AprilFoolsDay prank for the LEGO Universe Wiki. After seeing a ColbertBump from WebVideo/SomeOrdinaryGamers, it was followed up with the sequel ''BOB.EXE: Round 2''.

* NamelessNarrative: None of the characters in the story are given names, with the two main characters simply referred to in the first-person and second-person.[[note]]In ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'' canon, most of the characters are named: "I" is [[spoiler:Silencia Venomosa]], "you" is [[spoiler:Don Bricassius]], the bartender is [[spoiler:Bartholomew Enderson]], the butler is [[spoiler:Frank]] (who later became an AscendedExtra in ''Dear Sister''), the lawyer is [[spoiler:Amadeus Edward Remous]], and the two other people in the photograph are [[spoiler:Rosaria Mae Remous and Roger Remous]].[[/note]]

* StealthSequel: Or prequel, in this case. While advertised as an original short story, [=PeabodySam=] has confirmed that it can be considered part of the ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'' canon, as part of the backstory for [[spoiler:Silencia Venomosa]].

* AnyoneCanDie: I enjoy killing off most of my cast.
* ArtistDisillusionment: A hacking incident in early 2013 destroyed the Website/{{BZPower}} Forum Archive, and along with it the majority of five and a half years of writing ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG''. To be frank, this incident has left me embittered, less faithful in the longevity of certain websites, but worst of all less motivated to continue writing.
* AuthorAvatar: Of all of my characters, Frozeen comes the closest to an Author Avatar, even being diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. However, despite this, I would like to make it clear that I do not view Frozeen as [[SelfInsertFic an extension of myself]], and while he does have some of my traits because it's easy to WriteWhoYouKnow, I see him as a separate character. On that note, nearly all of my characters carry some of his different personality traits, making them all Author Avatars to a degree... the only notable exception being Grease, who was specifically modeled as [[{{Jerkass}} the exact type of person]] I hate the most.
* AuthorFilibuster: In my works, I sometimes tend to offer commentary on subjects I don't like.

* BewareTheNiceOnes / BewareTheQuietOnes: Most people I know think of me as a nice, quiet person. But if you dare to push my BerserkButton...
* BerserkButton:
** Don't you ''dare'' let me catch you in the act of [[TheBully bullying]] someone.
** Some people who are exceptionally thick-headed and [[InsaneTrollLogic defying any form of logic]] can really drive me up a wall.
** Let it be known that I'm not a fan of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' and I cannot stand Sheldon's character. So, whenever people compare me to Sheldon...
* CerebusSyndrome: In ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'', I started with very idealistic characters who usually ended up in amusingly absurd situations, and by the RPG's end, my writing was far darker and much more mature and cynical in tone.
* ChewingTheScenery: Cast me in an acting role, and there won't be a single prop on stage that doesn't have my bite marks on it. Ironic, considering that I'm [[TheQuietOne the opposite of this trope in real life]].
* CreatorInJoke: Due to the heavy amount of {{Tuckerization}} used in ''Au-III Ocelli 2O7'', there is a ton of In-Jokes that very few people outside the target demographic of about 20 people will understand.
* {{Deconstruction}}: In some of my works, especially ''Five Years Too Many'', I tend to [[{{Deconstruction}} Deconstruct]] the RedShirt trope.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: "Defeat" might be a bit of a stretch, but I once experienced something close to this trope. There was a girl I knew, and for some petty reason that I don't even remember anymore, we did ''not'' like each other. We also went to the same martial arts class, and one night it was sparring. We were paired up for a one-on-one sparring match, and though we both sparred furiously, I held nothing back and let loose all my anger against her.[[note]]Don't worry, we were both wearing protective gear, so no one was hurt.[[/note]] There was no "winner" or "loser" of the match, hence why I'm hesitant to say that I "defeated" her, but she was reportedly in tears after the match ended. I soon realized that all my anger was spent in the match and now I felt bad for her. So, I went up to her after class and told her that I was proud of how well she sparred against me, and that cheered her up. Since then, we've been on friendly terms with one another.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Most of my pre-2008 writing tends to be full of this.
* ForScience: This was my battle cry while running through the Cave of the Winds at Niagara Falls. Twice. ''FOR SCIENCE!''
* GodNeverSaidThat: Due to my preference of ExactWords over LyingCreator, I deliberately invoked this trope during the Adventurers' Island StoryArc in ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG''. I always made sure that I never actually referred to Pharaoh Hotep's forbidden ruins as the Maelstrom Temple outside of the story.
* GoshDangItToHeck: While I'm not above saying "God", "damn", or "hell", I have a self-enforced abstinence from speaking or writing any of what I call the "big four" (a**, b***, s***, and f***). There are also other words besides the "big four" that I politely refrain from using. As a result, I often use PG substitutes in speech and sometimes even use [[PardonMyKlingon fake swears]] in writing fiction. {{Foreign Cuss Word}}s are an exception, since words like "bloody" [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch aren't considered so offensive on this side of the pond]], but even then I try to refrain from using them often.
* GratuitousGerman: For some reason, putting on an apron, safety goggles, and rubber gloves while performing laboratory experiments causes me to start speak in a faux German accent, complete with using words like "ja" or "und" in place of "yes" or "and". I'm not altogether sure why... maybe it's because [[HerrDoktor everything sounds much]] [[WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} sciencier]] [[HerrDoktor in German]]?
* GratuitousSpanish: If I say goodbye to someone, it's almost always the Spanish word "adios". Even though I barely speak Spanish. Even stranger, I do it involuntarily; I don't even ''think'' about it, I just say "adios".
* GuiltyPleasures: ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'', ''Film/IndependenceDay'', ''[[VideoGame/LEGOIsland LEGO Island 2]]'', ''Film/JurassicWorld'', and probably many more that I cannot think of at the moment.
* HandWave: As much as I like to offer a detailed explanation for everything in my writing, sometimes I just can't think of a good one and I must resort to this.
* TheIngenue: A rare gender-flipped version of this trope is how many of my friends view me. No, I'm neither woefully naive nor wholly pure, but apparently I come across as a lot more "innocent" than my peers (this probably stems from my use of GoshDangItToHeck); often, they'll jokingly tell me to CoverInnocentEyesAndEars before telling some [[VulgarHumor vulgar joke]].
* ItsPopularNowItSucks: Believe it or not, I read all four ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' books over the summer of 2009, and... I actually didn't think they were horrible. They were stupid, definitely, but much like reading ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'' or poorly-written over-cliched fan fiction, they were [[BileFascination enjoyably]] stupid, and I didn't take them seriously enough to care. However, come the autumn of 2009, and I discover - much to my horror - that ''Twilight'' actually does have a ''huge'' teenage girl demographic who seriously think it's romantically idealistic instead of laughably stupid. From that moment on, I found myself loathing the series and everything about it.
* LampshadeHanging: Especially now that I'm [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife addicted to TV Tropes]], I have a tendency to hang lampshades on things.
* LyingCreator: I try to avoid stooping to this low, instead relying on ExactWords and GodNeverSaidThat, but every now and then, I just can't help it. Hey, remember that time where I said that post #1148 of ''Dino Attack: At War's End'' would be another thrilling episode of "PlotArmor Heroes Who Somehow Survive Everything"? That was great.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Nowadays, quite a bit of my more humorous writing tends to be centered around metaphors that go on and on until they lose track of their intended purpose, much like a marathon runner on a rainy, misty day which turned out to be quite cliche in terms of story setting as well as the ideal conditions for such a metaphor involving a marathon runner who cannot see where he, or maybe ''she'', for that matter, is going and thus gets lost and ends up running into the woods, but not ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' where (s)he runs the risk of killing me for narrating such a stupid self-demonstrating metaphorgotten...
-->"But, I figured that, while I'm still here, I might as well toss my two cents into the wishing well and hope that said well isn't actually [[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime the Kakariko Village well inhabited by a Dead Hand that wants to eat my face]]."
* MostWritersAreMale: This is how I avert MostFanficWritersAreGirls.
* OldShame: Look, if it's before 2008, I don't want to talk about it, okay? And even after 2008, I might still not want to talk about it.
* OrphanedSeries: Unfortunately, this happens more often than I would like. Examples of unfinished stories include ''Pirates RPG'', ''The Story of Frosam'' trilogy, ''The Search for the Mask of Light'', and ''Five Years Too Many''.

* PositiveDiscrimination: Although I believe that male and female characters should be equal, I often find myself of running into the trap of making my female characters better than my male characters. By that, I don't mean that the female characters are ''written'' better, but rather they tend to be depicted as having fewer flaws than male characters. Which means, obviously, that the male and female characters are ''not'' equal.
* PrecisionFStrike: One of my reasons for GoshDangItToHeck. In my opinion, swears are meant to be strong words, and when my peers casually drop a dozen f-bombs in a sentence, those words lose their impact. I want people to know that I do not swear... so that if there's ever a time where I ''do'' drop an f-bomb, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness people will know it's serious business]].
* PungeonMaster: My skills at improvising terrible puns have been known to '''pun'''ish anyone unfortunate enough to be in earshot.
* TheQuietOne
* {{Railroading}}: In ''Dino Attack RPG'', sometimes another player might do something that would cause a major deviation in the plot, forcing me to step in and keep things on the straight course.
* RealitySubtext: ''Hate'' was written in response to my experience with the worst [[TheBully bully]] I had ever met, with Ehlek standing in for myself and Kerj acting as the bully.
* ReclusiveArtist: I make it a point not to make much about myself known.
* RecycledInSpace:
** ''The Search for the Mask of Light'' is ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''... IN Toys/{{BIONICLE}}!
** When it first started out, ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'' was basically ''Roleplay/AlphaTeamMissionDeepFreezeRPG''... IN [[Toys/LEGODinoAttack DINO ATTACK]]!
* RecycledScript: I intend to make ground-up rewrites of ''Dino Attack RPG'' and ''The Story of Frosam'' as standalone novels that cuts all ties to their Franchise/{{LEGO}} roots. Nothing official has been put forward yet, but I've got a ton of ideas.
* {{Rewrite}}: Occasionally, I go back and completely rewrite older works that I now consider to be OldShame.
** After the end of ''BIONICLE and the Search for the Mask of Light!'' ended in 2006, I started rewriting it in 2007 as ''The Search for the Mask of Light''. Unfortunately, ScheduleSlip happened, currently leaving the rewrite as an OrphanedSeries.
** ''Tohu's Tale'' was rewritten in 2008, two years after the original short story was published.
** ''Lost and Found and Lost Again'' is a rewrite of ''[[FanFic/{{LMS}} The Rock Raiders Meet BIONICLE]]'' Season 2, Chapter 38. It was originally written as a chapter for ''Two Worlds'', but published as a standalone story after ''Two Worlds'' became an OrphanedSeries and never reached its second season.
** A rewrite of ''The Story of Frosam'', tentatively titled ''The Story of Rosamu'', has been in the works since 2014.
** The ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'' ExpandedUniverse short story ''Love and War'' is a 2016 rewrite of the scene where Rex met Amanda, which was originally written in 2005.
* [[RidiculousProcrastinator Ridiculous... ah, whatever, I'll finish writing this trope later.]]
* ScheduleSlip: Granted, I had no real schedule to work with, but those waiting for the next chapters to ''Five Years Too Many'' or ''The Search for the Mask of Light'' may have to be ''very'' patient.
* SelfDeprecation: I would say that I'm a frequent victim of this, but that would be giving myself too much credit.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Again, despite my belief that male and female characters should be equal, this is another trap I repeatedly fall into despite my best efforts.
** Among the dozens of characters I've created in ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'', only six are major named female characters.[[note]]Amanda Claw, Mary Rose, Michelle Glados, Pterisa, Shannon Grimton, and Talia Kaahs. Lisa and Belle did receive more screentime in the ExpandedUniverse, but are still minor characters.[[/note]]
** Discounting canon ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'' characters such as Gali, ''The Story of Frosam'' only has one major female character, Ikaag, who is also currently the only female character in ''Five Years Too Many''. Its sequel, ''Vakama's Secret'', again has only one major female character, Kiria, and she spends most of the story with NoNameGiven. This is something that will be addressed in ''[[{{Rewrite}} The Story of Rosamu]]'', which will have more major female characters.
* StageName: Well, seeing as most of my online stories are published under the username "[=PeabodySam=]"...
* StylisticSuck: ''BOB.EXE'' and ''BOB.EXE: Round 2''. While not as pronounced as most trollpastas (which often tend to rely on over-the-top poor [[RougeAnglesOfSatin spelling]] and [[NoPunctuationIsFunnier formatting]]), they feature nonsensical {{Idiot Plot}}s that revolve around [[TooDumbToLive idiotic protagonists]] bumbling their way through a ClicheStorm created by an ineffective villain with a penchant for gratuitous amounts of [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank BLOOD]]. As one might guess from their titles, ''BOB.EXE'' and ''Round 2'' are scathing satires of ''VideoGame/SonicExe''.
* TrollingCreator: Hey, that's a nice theory you've got on Ben Gunn's identity. It would be a shame if something bad happened to it...
* {{Tuckerization}}: When I'm trying to come up with a name for a new character, sometimes I name them after friends or family.
** Taken UpToEleven in ''Au-III Ocelli 2O7'', where every single character is named after a person I know in real life. Subverted in the online version, however, wherein I substitute most of their names with names of ''Dino Attack RPG'' characters, although their personalities remain unchanged.
* TVTropesWillRuinYourLife: It certainly ruined mine.
* TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary: Played straight.
* WhatIf: Provided that it doesn't get overused (looking at you, ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}''), I've always found What If? scenarios to be quite intriguing. For ''Dino Attack RPG'', I wrote an alternate ending ''December 21, 2010'' (answering the question, "What if the Darkitect got the Maelstrom Crystal?"), and I also had ideas for other What If? scenarios and alternate timelines for my works.
* WordOfGod: When it comes to ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG''.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Nearly all my characters carry some personality traits of mine, and some are closer to {{Author Avatar}}s than others. And even those who are not based on myself are usually based on someone I know, such as Shannon Grimton or Grease.
* WritersBlock: Ah, the bane of my existence! I would write more, but...

Why, hello there. You might know me as the host of ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG''. I also wrote ''FanFic/Scene24JohnnyThunderBlowsThisTacoStand'', which won Website/{{BZPower}}'s Caveat Scriptor Comedies Content. I co-authored ''FanFic/{{LMS}}'' with fellow troper Tropers/{{Primis}}, and Tropers/JohnAlexanderHitchcock took a just-for-fun Steam chat and published it as ''FanFic/GManMeetsTheMysteryMan''.

* AuthorAvatar: Of all of my characters, Frozeen comes the closest to an Author Avatar.

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: Actually averted, at least when it comes to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. When I complain about that series, you must keep in mind that I actually have read all four books, so I know what I'm talking about.

-->"John Doe was a developer during the pre-alpha phase of Videogame/LEGOUniverse, during which time everything was happiness and sunshine and rainbows to such a sickening degree that even [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney the Dinosaur]] would look at the game and say, "Ugh, this TastesLikeDiabetes." Not to offend anyone with diabetes; [[TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary I'm just quoting TV Tropes]]. What's TV Tropes, you ask? Website/{{Google}} it, and next thing you know, [[TVTRopesWillRuinYourLife it will be next week and you haven't moved from your computer chair]]."

* RecycledScript: I intend to make a ground-up rewrite of ''Dino Attack RPG'' as a standalone novel that cuts all ties to its Franchise/{{LEGO}} roots. Nothing official has been put forward yet, but I've got a ton of ideas.

* WhatIf: Provided that it doesn't overshadow the "prime" reality (looking at you, ''Franchise/{{BIONICLE}}''), I've always found What If? scenarios to be quite intriguing.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: "Defeat" might be a bit of a stretch, but I once experienced something close to this trope. There was a girl I knew, and for some petty reason that I don't even remember anymore, we did ''not'' like each other. We also went to the same martial arts class, and one night it was sparring.

* GoshDangItToHeck: While I'm not above saying "God", "damn", or "hell", I have a self-enforced abstinence from speaking or writing any of what I call the "big four" (a**, [=b****=], s***, and f***). There are also other words besides the "big four" that I politely refrain from using. As a result, I often use PG substitutes in speech and sometimes even use [[PardonMyKlingon fake swears]] in writing fiction. {{Foreign Cuss Word}}s are an exception, since words like "bloody" [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch aren't considered so offensive on this side of the pond]], but even then I try to refrain from using them often.
