History Tropers / Prime_of_Perfection

* NozakiAna (another experiment to try different things I enjoyed)

* GentlemanBastard

* {{Arrow}} (or at least I did...)

* GameGrumps

* TechnicianVsPerformer: It's a false dichotomy. We need both the internal foundation, the spirit, and the external foundation, technique. The spirit gives us something to say. Technique allows us to communicate it. And an artist without technique is self indulgent.

* TheChessmaster: Anybody can claim to be one. [[http://liargameonline.proboards.com/user/5 I decided to prove it.]] I sweeper the Liar Game and won in every single category. I possess the most trophies by a margin, I'm the richest player with over a billion yen, and I arranged it so I won the tournament.

** I've another thing to add with regards to character. Although I am aware of all the varying problems in media, there is something I have considered: it's easier to portray white cis men as leads because people as a whole will (typically) judge them for them and give you room to have flaws. With all of us minorities, there's this damned if you do, damned if you don't element I've found. When flawed or not top tier, often criticized for that. If on top, people push to much to Mary Sue route for representation stuff. It's just exhausting. I'm not saying we shouldn't argue against such things. We should! I'll give an example of it done both wrong and right. I hate the takes of Black Panther as a MarySue character who is so amazing and great because he's black. It irritates me. I like the takes like, say, CaptainAmericaCivilWar, where he is competent but still has flaws to outgrow. Anyway, all I'm saying is to not put people on pedestals. My desire with all these things is normalization. I don't want to celebrate being an outsider and try to make every other character an outsider. I don't want to change the status quo so that what is considered normal is now hated. I just wish for inclusion and equal opportunity.

* ArtifactTitle: The whole Prime of Perfection thing. It's something I used when teenager first intentionally when playing a villain role for something. I built it as an ArrogantKungFuGuy persona. As myself it got shortened to Prime by a number of those who know me and at this point I just maintain it since I've had it for years.

* DitzyGenius: While I dislike calling myself a genius outside of joking around, I can't deny I fit this well. Friends, family, and ex-girlfriends alike have all commented that most of the time I seem really brilliant and knowledgeable about various things, but can then end up doing something really dumb or things I really don't grasp immediately. When it comes to sensory details or finding things, I'm not the best IRL unless I have exact directions, which I make sure to get whenever I can. As an aside, this can also be really annoying sometimes as I hate when people expect me to have all the answers or whatever and forget that I'm as human as anyone else. Intelligence isn't something that can be just broken down into one core thing.

* FatalFlaw: Wrath, undoubtedly. It's something I like keeping in check even though I think I have a ways to go.

* HatesSmallTalk: Downplayed. I really don't like talking for the sake of talking or when people just tell me random things with it going no where. Really, I need a focal topic to start discussion on (well, I usually select the topic) and for me to be invested in or have something I can truly add to it. Plus just chatting for the sake of it seems banal to me given that it's time I can use for something else. That having been said, I am fine with just chatting with my friends and all if it's just us having fun, joking around, figuring something out, or whatever. I just prefer it to have a meaning on some level or another beyond doing it for the sake of doing it.

* ParalysisByAnalysis: This is a weakness of mine as a writer when writing first drafts. I know editing exists for a reason, but something bothers me to have it perfect from get go. I'm getting over it. Recognizing and admitting it helps.

* PrettyBoy: I've been told I'm overall really attractive and I myself know I don't fit the whole "rugged" appearance type or whatever. It's comment on by plenty that I've a really great face. If you want proof though, ask!

Although I am aware of all the varying problems in media, there is something I have considered: it's easier to portray white cis men as leads because people will (typically) judge them for them and give you room to have flaws. With all of us minorities, there is always the danger of offending someone with something. That's limiting and exhausting. I'm not saying we shouldn't argue against such things - we should!

** There's a large range of emotions we can feel towards one another. Although I am a romantic at heart, romance as a whole is overrate. Let's celebrate the myriads of love! Besides, people who simplify ''everything'' to romance irritate me.

** For the above 3, I dislike people feeling the need to prop up characters due to external stuff like that just as much as I dislike people doing it to put down. As someone who is a minority, I rather just be treated as human as everybody else and see portrayals which aren't tainted by feeling it's there for the sake of an agenda as opposed to it being organic. A part of me feels that ''some'' of it is just a shell of actual diversity that is meant to boost ratings/about making oneself feel good as opposed to actually seeking to help others.

* ArtifactTitle: The whole Prime of Perfection thing. It's something I used when teenager first intentionally when playing a villain role for something. It's meant to be part of ArrogantKungFuGuy persona I built. As myself it got shortened to Prime when referring nickname wise by a number of those who know me and at this point I just maintain it since I've had it for years.
* BerserkButton: TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot & TokenRomance are two of my most hated tropes. Actually, I dislike most bad writing, with the exception of SoBadItsGood or... hmm... complicated to put it. What truly irritates me is bad writing in something that was otherwise or I like that I feel is holding it back from reaching it's full potential.
** State that The Templars in AssassinsCreed are good guys or heroic in any sense of the word. I'll type up a long winded rant about how even The Templars at their most moral are shitbags and genuinely agreeing with them is a foolish mistake. The Templar's philosophy can sound appealing on the surface - the whole thing about pursuing peace, recognizing that people are flawed, and a belief in the necessity of order. However, the failings of the philosophy is so obvious when you stop to think about it. First, THEY'RE AS HUMAN AS EVERYBODY ELSE! Which is best reflected in how when they go about their elitist assholery, internal issues crop up and cause them to lose any and all ground they attain. So either they believe all humans suck but them - which if you believe that, it shows how flawed you are as well as self-refuting because for you to achieve that while being human means that there must be hope for humanity - or that humanity sucks in general, at which point they should just eliminate themselves. Next, it's the way they go about seeking world peace. First, world peace is an unattainable idea because change is the one constant in the world. There will always be conflict. Conflict is inevitable. What we should instead focus on is how we can end it as quickly and compassionately as possible through both wisdom and benevolence. Wisdom and benevolence, especially benevolence, being something The Templars sorely lack. This also comes round circle to why The Templars world will never work. First, they force it on to people, not get them to truly accept it as a belief of their own. People are going to resist no matter what. Second, harmony cannot come from an external source. External systems are a guide that points in the way of something, not the end all, be all. One cannot "make" peace, it has to come from within. Which is why The Assassin's are superior. They realize that discipline must be internalized, it must be nurtured. And that's why I hate The Templars and it's a serious button for me since they stand for everything that disgusts me and I immediately think that person is just fooled by the illusion of pretexts and haven't actually thought shit out.

* CompassionateCritic: Whenever it comes to feedback or anything on my opinion, I prefer to be this. I make it a point of complimenting or criticizing whatever as honestly as I can if someone seeks it and I'm not all that fond of holding back because I feel not giving someone your all is only going to get in the way of them drawing out their best. I do, to note, like giving advice on where I think things can be improved and why, as well as big on to going into the how and so on.

* TheSocialExpert: Social skills as a whole are actually one of my strongest skills, though I don't think I'm perfect or anything. I can identify all kinds of flaws in myself I wish to conquer progressively.

** My reason is because there's a gambit of emotions towards one another and I feel romance is overrated even if I'm a romantic at heart. I like to celebrate the whole myriad of love. Plus people who simplify ''everything'' to romance have annoyed me greatly.

* Chronicles Of The Paranormal (coming soon)
