History Tropers / RavenGrave

Aspiring graphic novelist hailing from Canada. Due to [[BiTheWay a certain trope]], a lot of my stuff tends to feature some flavour of prominent HoYay. My goal is to beat {{CLAMP}}'s record of HoYay-per-volume.

* AntiquatedLinguistics -- It's just not a day without some sort of archaic English involved...
* BiTheWay -- *snorts*
* CloudCuckooLander -- I'm very good at this.
* DeadpanSnarker -- On and off.
* DistractedByTheSexy -- But only with one person...
* FetishFuel -- Nice girls. I'm not even kidding. A girl who is genuinely nice is genuinely beautiful. ** Also nice guys. And nerdy guys. And nerdy girls.
** And persons with spectacles.
** [[SarcasmMode But obviously not nice, nerdy guys with glasses.]]
*** [[AudioErotica Especially not with really attractive voices.]]
** Also [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Welsh and Scottish accents.]] For the former, I curse {{Torchwood}} with every fibre of my being...
* GeekyTurnOn -- [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial What's that? No, I've never proposed to someone on the spot just for making a video game reference.]]
* GentleGiant -- I'm 6'1, 200-odd lb, fairly burly...and most people describe me as a really nice guy. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Unless I'm really mad, apparently.]]
* GrammarNazi -- Actually, we've moved into Grammar Archfiend territory.
* NeutralGood -- [[FinalFantasy I'm the party white mage, kids!]]
* RealMenWearPink -- I can sew. And I'm pretty good at it too.
* SarcasmMode -- Alas, people cannot seem to tell whem I'm being sarcastic. At all. I need a sign. Or, in written conversations, the <<sarcasm_begins>> (text) <<sarcasm_ends>> operator.
* ScaryShinyGlasses -- Man, I wish my glasses did that when I got pissed off.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness -- I'm good at this. Sometimes crosses into PurposeProse if I'm feeling LawfulEvil. To quote a friend of mine: "I have no idea what the ''hell'' you just said, but it was beautiful!".
* SingleTargetSexuality -- Technically, I'm bisexual, but [[SingleTargetSexuality one-person-romantic]]
* [[YaoiFangirl -- Yaoi Fanboy]]

* DoAsInfinity -- [[OldShame I'll admit it, I fanboyed when I found out that they were reuniting.]]

* AfraidOfNeedles -- And how.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited -- And ''how''.
* AManIsNotAVirgin -- Averted. To quote another troper, I possess 100% virgin blood. [[BeyondTheImpossible Possibly 110%]]

* FetishFuel -- Nice girls. I'm not even kidding. A girl who is genuinely nice is genuinely beautiful. I've met girls who might not be Michelle Yeoh to look at, but are such wonderful people that they're just...dayum.
** Also nice guys. And nerdy guys. And nerdy girls.

* HeyYou -- Subversion; I used this as a term of endearment with my ex-boyfriend.

* PapaBear -- Seems like I'm going to become one of these.

* [[TeamMom Team Dad]] -- And proud of it.
* TVTropesWillRuinYourLife -- Averted! (The irony of using troper terminology is noted!) TVTropes is a viable and useful tool in the writer's arsenal! It's a lovely stockpile of 'Everything to Avoid if You Want To Write Something Decent'.
** [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife It's also a great way to avoid doing essays...]]
*** [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife Or studying...]]

* AwesomeButImpractical -- I have a photographic memory. It only works for academia, trivia, TVTropes, and, unfortunately, [[TearJerker the two worst days of my life]].

* GentleGiant -- I'm 6'1, 190-odd lb, fairly burly...and most people describe me as a really nice guy. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Unless I'm really mad, apparently.]]
* GeniusLoci -- As stated below under TheWoobie, I'm starting to think that my university is not only sentient, but is malevolent. Since starting there last year, every term, without fail, I have somehow lost someone who meant more to me than anything else in the world. Four terms. Three people. And in circumstances that all lead back to that building.

* OldShame -- A few. [[CursedWithAwesome And the photographic memory means that I'll likely never forget any of them.]]

* TheWoobie -- Since starting university last year, every term, without fail, I have somehow lost someone who meant more to me than anything else in the world.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness -- I'm good at this. Sometimes crosses into PurposeProse if I'm feel [[LawfulEvil the Dark Side]]. To quote a friend of mine: "I have no idea what the ''hell'' you just said, but it was beautiful!".

** Also [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Welsh and Scottish accents.]] For the former, I curse {{Torchwood}} and GirlsAloud with every fibre of my being...

* HoYay

* {{Seme}} -- Not a case of seeing it as [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean it]] 'girly' or 'unmanly', I just don't get any [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean satisfaction]] out of the idea of being {{Uke}}.

** Also [[EverythingSoundsSexierIfFrench Welsh and Scottish accents.]] For the former, I curse {{Torchwood}} and GirlsAloud with every fibre of my being...

* CloudCuckooLander
* DeadpanSnarker -- Occasionally. Sometimes, I just fail.

* HoYay

* {{Seme}} -- More or less proven. It's not a case of I find [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean it]] 'girly' or 'unmanly', I just don't get any [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean satisfaction]] out of the idea of being {{Uke}}.

* DoAsInfinity -- I'll admit it, I fanboyed when I found out that they were reuniting.

* [[Team Dad TeamMom]] -- And proud of it.

* BewareTheNiceOnes -- Proven.

* AManOfWealthAndTaste -- Well, once I [[RunninGag CONQUOR FRANCE]] I'll have the wealth...

My life is ruled by the computer. And my GameCube. And my PS2. And my Wii. And books. And drawing. And books. And Drakengard 2. And Okami. And Persona4
* Update: RavenGrave's life is also ruled by university and angst. A lot of angst.
** Updated update: RG's life is now also ruled by hope, in addition to the above.
*** Update on the updated update: RG has now sworn a dark and terrible oath. If things turn around, he will finally face down that embodiment of all of the NightmareFuel of his childhood,[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel the Shadow Temple that's been taunting him for years now.]]and finally beat TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime.
**** This sounds childish, I know, but it basically amounts to me saying "I'm going to confront my childhood fears that have haunted me into adulthood, and deal with 'em" in Nerd.
***** Officially, I love this guy. He hadn't spoken to me in over a year, but he was right there for me when I needed him.
