Line #12 PlayingWith/GoodOldWays


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character behaves like he/she comes from a different time and place. Compare DiscoDan.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice wears a dress comparable to what a medieval PrincessClassic would wear, and is enamored with the idea of CourtlyLove with a KnightInShiningArmor.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Alice speaks in Olde English, and does not use modern technology. She also rides a horse everywhere, instead of a car. She believes everything made after the Renaissance, and modern [[ValuesDissonance values]] and practices just plain suck.
5	** Alice acts like a cavewoman.
6	* '''Downplayed''': Alice wears modern clothes and technology, but repeatedly stresses on the superiority of old-fashioned values over modern decadence and selfishness. Whether she is right, [[ValuesDissonance or simply not seeing the bad in the old ways]], is not determined.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Alice is a FishOutOfTemporalWater, obsessed with antiques and old history.
9	** In a form on inverse ValuesDissonance, Alice abhors the more modern-day morality as decadent and crude, focusing on antiquated values that [[ValuesResonance have stood the test of time.]]
10	* '''Inverted''':
11	** Alice uses only the speech patterns, technology, and style of the modern era.
12	** Or of the future.
13	** EvilReactionary
14	* '''Subverted''': Alice only wears her PrincessClassic dress to a medieval fair.
15	* '''Double Subverted''': Only to [[JustForFun/OneOfUs participate in]] a {{LARP}} on the way home...that begins to take on a life of its own.
16	* '''Parodied''': ???
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
18	* '''Averted''': Alice does not dress, speak, or behave like a noblewoman of the MiddleAges, but a regular woman of the modern era.
19	* '''Enforced''':
20	** RuleOfFunny
21	** Alternatively, [[WriterOnBoard trying to show that]] [[LuddWasRight modern technology and values have ruined society]], by using Alice as a {{Foil}}.
22	* '''Lampshaded''': "Alice looks like a fairy-tale princess, like she just stepped out of an Myth/ArthurianLegend or something."
23	* '''Invoked''': Alice participates in a really hardcore {{LARP}}, and one of its rules is not to break character at ''any'' time for ''any'' reason, even after going back home.
24	* '''Exploited''': In a FishOutOfTemporalWater situation:\
25	\
26	A) One mimics the GoodOldWays to not upset the "fish."\
27	\
28	B) The fish tries to mimic the way every else is acting to blend in.
29	* '''Defied''': Alice refuses to go anywhere without her cellphone, thinks CourtlyLove is a bunch of malarkey, [[RealWomenDontWearDresses never wears a dress of any kind]], and drives a car. She can't imagine ''not'' living in modern times!
30	* '''Discussed''': ???
31	* '''Conversed''': ???
32	* '''Deconstructed''':
33	** Everyone thinks Alice is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, and she's thus alienating herself from others. She could also be missing out on a lot of good things of the modern era...like modern medicine.
34	** Alice's idolization of the past, intentionally or not, includes [[DeliberateValuesDissonance its more unsavory elements]].
35	* '''Reconstructed''':
36	** Alice learns that there's a time and a place for everything, and that modern stuff isn't all bad. She still likes the MiddleAges, but is able to channel that interest into something like studying medieval literature, or becoming a better DM. And because she isn't speaking in Olde English all the time, people understand her and get to know her, instead of staring and whispering.
37	** Alice asks herself the hard questions about the time period she idolizes. Her love for it still endures but it's tempered by a more thorough understanding of it.
38	* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice is a DiscoDan figure.
