1 | Old enough to know better, young enough to say "why the hell not?" Has several minor autoimmune conditions and the bad habits of ranting, being brutally candid, and giving a damn at inconvenient moments. Lives in UsefulNotes/TheOtherRainforest, and can testify that it's overrated. Was a [[CreepyChild seriously]] [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior messed-up]] [[NightmareFuelColoringBook little girl]]. |

3 | Regular contributor to several wikis. Fan fiction author, of sorts; contributor to the WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum by way of [[http://gc-dms.livejournal.com/546.html one mission]] so far. (Hey, I'm ''working'' on it!) Is probably either trying to write, or playing something [[http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Bahmi tall and blue]] on ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'', at any given moment. |

5 | Is (as of recently) officially a semi-professional [[TabletopGames pen-and-paper]] {{RPG}} editor, and is currently working on a somewhat similar project of her own. Married to a PungeonMaster. |

9 | !!'''This troper provides examples of:''' |
10 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: A [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette very pale]] multiethnic black woman. |
11 | * BizarreTasteInFood[=/=]CordonBleughChef: Insists that chipotle pepper and beetroots ''do'', in fact, belong in desserts, and has actually [[SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds been complimented on the result]]. |
12 | * BlackAndNerdy |
13 | * ChaoticGood, or so she'd like to think. |
14 | * TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Has only in the last few years been able to start patching things up with her father...who's a retired therapist who specialized in family counseling. |
15 | * CrossPlayer: Has a few male draenei running around on various servers, and often jokes that it's [[GenderFlip about]] the [[ThirdPersonSeductress shoulders]]. |
16 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette[=/=]RavenHairIvorySkin: Off-black hair, very pale olive complexion, can pull off the {{goth}} look rather well. |
17 | * EyesOfGold: A light coppery brown that looks ''orange'' in certain lights, anyway. |
18 | * FanNickname: Has a long list of personal ones, folderized below. |
19 | * FunTShirt: Pretty much collects the things. |
20 | * GamerChick: Reconstructed. |
21 | * HalloweenCosplay: As a kid, a few obscure Creator/DrSeuss and Creator/{{Sanrio}} characters. More recently, [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraEnemiesSeasons3And4 Ming-Hua]] (but got mistaken for [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Katara]]). |
22 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: Is on the short side of average and built like a travel-sized [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Sugilite]]. Her husband is [[OneHeadTaller a foot taller]] and built like [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Nathan Explosion]]. (They're considering {{cosplay}}ing [[TinyGuyHugeGirl P'Li and Zaheer]] for the {{irony}}.) |
23 | * KnightInSourArmor |
24 | * MamaBear: Has no kids of her own, but (for example) got ''[[BerserkButton very]]'' angry when she discovered that a friend's child had been abused by a relative. |
25 | * OlderThanTheyLook, or so she's been told. |
26 | * OverlyLongTongue |
27 | * PrefersGoingBarefoot: Has [[JustifiedTrope tiny, high-arched feet that are unusually wide at the forefoot and narrow at the heel]], which makes finding a proper fit (especially in any style that can be taken seriously) difficult. |
28 | * PungeonMaster: Shares this trait with her husband. |
29 | * QuirkyCurls: It's nearly long enough to sit on, has at least three distinct textures to it, and eats combs and scrunchies. |
30 | * SnarkKnight |
31 | * SophisticatedAsHell |
32 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Rarely wears makeup, tends to prefer men's clothing because ''pockets'', has studied martial arts, will climb things on a whim, and knows how to disassemble and reassemble a rifle. Also has [[RapunzelHair hip-length hair]] (albeit usually worn in a [[BraidsOfAction Lara Croft braid]]) and once hand-sewed her own LittleBlackDress. |
33 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Has primary Raynaud's syndrome, which adds up to a vulnerability to cold. |
34 | * YaoiFangirl[=/=]YuriFangirl: Downplayed; quietly [[{{Shipping}} 'ships]] [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Asric/Jadaar]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korrasami]], and [[{{Rift}} Uriel Chuluun/Kira Thanos]], on account of [[JustifiedTrope actually liking their respective dynamics]]. |
35 | |
36 | [[foldercontrol]] |
37 | |
38 | [[folder:Personal Fan Nicknames]] |
39 | Long list. Be warned. |
40 | * Avatwihard: Any Steam Crew (q.v.) so [[{{Fandumb}} irrational]] in their [[RonTheDeathEater defense of the pairing]] as to sound suspiciously like a sparkle enthusiast (q.v.) of the most [[DieForOurShip rabid]] sort. |
41 | * Belfywelf, Bloof, Crack-Rabbit, Drugbunny, Eversong Squirrel: A blood elf, when I'm playing Alliance. |
42 | * Belftown, the Sparkly Maze: Silvermoon City. |
43 | * Blue Soap: A [[SeriousBusiness monumental]], [[DontLikeDontRead messy]] [[LetsSeeYOUDoBetter fanwank]] that I [[SnarkBait made the mistake]] of [[{{MST}} setting off]]. You probably do ''not'' want to know. (If [[SchmuckBait curiosity outweighs common sense]], a search for "[[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft draenei]] MarySue SoapOpera" will explain it; just don't claim that you weren't warned.) |
44 | * Borewind, Breakwind, Mazewind: Stormwind City. (No, I don't like it; why do you ask?) |
45 | * Caitlín (pronounced "Kathleen," more-or-less): A well-written EthicalSlut or GoodBadGirl character. A reference to the Creator/PoulAnderson character Caitlín Mulryan. |
46 | * Catfish, Catfish-Face, Catfish-Head: A draenei, when I'm playing Horde. Because the facial tendrils are ''barbels''; [[InsistentTerminology so there]]. |
47 | * Catfish Pond: the Exodar. |
48 | * [=CheriSue=]: Dr. Cherijo Grey Veil, from S.L. Viehl's ''Literature/{{Stardoc}}'' series. Make a wild guess why. |
49 | * {{Chibi}}, Kewpie Doll: A gnome. |
50 | * [[Creator/JoClayton Clayton Weird]]: A descriptive phrase for a fantasy setting that deviates just enough from the [[StandardFantasySetting classic model]] to be obviously original. Named for the late author of (among others) the ''Literature/{{Duel of Sorcery}}'' and ''Dancer's Rise'' trilogies, as both are set in a setting that fits. |
51 | * Collecturtle, Fucking Collecturtle, Goddamn Collecturtle, Stupid Collecturtle, other variations on that theme: The Ancient Tartagon (giant two-headed [[TurtlePower tortoise]]) [[HorseOfADifferentColor mount]] that came with the collector's edition of ''{{Rift}}''. While convenient, it's quite large and looks rather ponderous and dopey. |
52 | * Cute Stick: The [[ProgressivelyPrettier opposite of]] the more commonly-referenced "ugly stick." Often used on [[CuteMonsterGirl monster girls]] and [[DishingOutDirt geomancers]]. The actual results of being hit with it may vary. |
53 | * That Damn Eredar (often abbreviated to TDE): Prince Malchezaar. |
54 | * Dead Character Lives: A [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin specific sort]] of FixFic. May be abbreviated to [=DCL=]; alternately, when referring to specific fics, the dead character's name (i.e. [[{{Warcraft}} Taretha Lives]] or [[Literature/{{Redwall}} Laterose]] [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Lives]]) may actually be used. |
55 | * Drumorc Shamageicator, That Little Green Stub-Tendriled Marty Sam: [[ComicBook/WorldOfWarcraftComic Med'an]]. From "'''dr'''aenei/h'''um'''an/'''orc''', '''sha'''man/'''mage'''/vind'''icator'''." So-called because he's a multiclassing cheater of a HeinzHybrid (and [[AllGenesAreCodominant looks the part]]). |
56 | * Durn It To Heck: [[BossInMookClothing Durn the Hungerer]]. Just because. |
57 | * E-Mob: The Internet equivalent of a TorchesAndPitchforks scene. |
58 | * Fluzball, Fuzzbucket, Skittn: A [[PantheraAwesome cat as a hunter pet]], or a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting druid in cat form]]. By extension, [[CuteKitten any cat]]. (As in: "You've got that fluzball on passive, right? Maybe one of the druids should go skittn and scout around. And why is there a fuzzbucket on top of my monitor when I'm trying to raid?") |
59 | * Fjord Reaver: Those damned [[BossInMookClothing storm giants]] in Howling Fjord; so-called due to playing a similar role to the fel reavers in Hellfire Peninsula. |
60 | * Florc, Flurk (and several other variations): A fel orc. (As in: "Are you ''trying'' to pull every flurk in Shadowmoon Valley?") |
61 | * Fuzzbear: The [[PandaingToTheAudience pandaren]] [[BoisterousBruiser race]] in [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft WoW]]. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It should be obvious why]]. |
62 | * [[TroubledButCute Glower McMope]] and [[DemotedToExtra Shoulders McSideline]]: The [[SiblingYinYang Ferret Brothers]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. It should be obvious who is who. |
63 | ** As of the Book 3 finale, they're [[spoiler:[[UnusualEyebrows Shark Brows]] and [[MagmaMan Lava Boy]]]]. |
64 | * Guarddamns: The [[KnightTemplar Guardian]] [[TheUsualAdversaries faction]] in ''{{Rift}}''. |
65 | * Hellhole Peninsula: Hellfire Peninsula, for [[{{Mordor}} obvious]] [[ThatOneLevel reasons]]. |
66 | * Horse Show, Horsey Cartoons, Ponies: ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. |
67 | * Kelp Reaver: Those [[EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks damned whale sharks]] in [[UnderTheSea Vashj'ir]] that [[ArtisticLicenseBiology prey on unwary draenei and trolls]]. Three guesses why, and the first two don't count. |
68 | * Kinkade World, Kinkadia, Thomas Kinkade World: Originally meant an apparent CrapsaccharineWorld seen through one of the demon's portals in ''[[Literature/{{Indigo}} Nocturne]]'', but has come to mean ''any'' CrapsaccharineWorld. (What can I say; Thomas Kinkade [[{{Glurge}} always gave me]] the [[StepfordSmiler creeps]].) |
69 | * Lagrimmaze: Orgrimmar. I'm about as fond of it as I am of Stormwind. |
70 | * ''Legend of {{Sequelitis}}'', ''Legend of [[CharacterShilling Shill The Tribute Character]]'', ''Legend of Wasted Potential'', ''The Letdown of Character Derailment'': Should be obvious to anyone who's not an Avatwihard (q.v.). |
71 | * [=McIntyre=] (verb): To [[GottaShipEmAll multiship]] with such enthusiasm as to [[OneTrueThreesome actively root for]] the [[LoveTriangle love]] [[LoveDodecahedron polygons]] to become [[MarryThemAll official]] (and the MoralGuardians be damned); to create [[FixFic fan works]] that ''make'' them official, ''[[FanonDiscontinuity canon]]'' be damned; or some combination of the above. Named for author Vonda N. [=McIntyre=], of ''Literature/{{Dreamsnake}}'' fame, who was [[AuthorAppeal as well-known]] for slipping in [[{{Polyamory}} group marriages]] as she was for having [[MasterOfYourDomain biocontrol]] be a thing. |
72 | * Mama Scary: Therazane the Stonemother. Essentially an anthropomorphic boulder with a rotten temper; threatens to grind you into a bloody pulp if you piss her off. Enough said. |
73 | * Maple Treant, Rotten Lousy Maple Treant, Stupid Frigging Maple Treant, and so on: The [[WhenTreesAttack Wandering Protector]] in [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Ashenvale]]. He exists strictly to bedevil unwary low-level Horde. True story. |
74 | * Outrend: The parts of [=WoW=] that ''weren't'' affected by the Cataclysm. It seemed appropriate, seeing as they're [[{{Portmanteau}} beginning to run together]] as "the grindy part of the game." |
75 | * P'heerling: A very specific category of ''Legend of Korra'' OriginalCharacter. A multi-layered {{pun}}: a [[MeaningfulName highly]] [[TheDreaded appropriate]] (and ''itself'' {{punny|Name}}) [[PortmanteauCoupleName portmanteau]] for the [[UnholyMatrimony hypothetical parentage]] that ''defines'' a P'heerling as such, plus a ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' reference that's ''especially'' appropriate if the P'heerling is [[DaddysLittleVillain mom and dad's little]] [[BombThrowingAnarchist bomb-throwing anarchist]] (although they ''aren't'' always). |
76 | * Pigtails: [[{{Rift}} Uriel]] [[RebelliousPrincess Chuluun]], for [[GirlishPigtails obvious]] [[PerkyGoth reasons]]. |
77 | * Princess Scarydras: Princess Theradras. Mama Scary is her mother, to begin with. Even with ''that'' in mind, her father must have been absolutely ''horrifying''. |
78 | * Retvindicatrix: [[LadyOfWar Female]] [[ProudScholarRace draenei]] [[ThePaladin paladin]] with [[{{BFS}} the]] [[DropTheHammer retribution]] [[AnAxeToGrind specialization]]; one of this troper's pet characters, for one. Literally, "retribution" + "[[ThePaladin vindicator]]" + Latin feminine suffix. |
79 | * Silt 'Ship: The ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Legend of Korra]]'' pairing better known as "[[PortmanteauCoupleName Borra]]," be that their friendship or in [[WhatIf some alternate universe where they actually became a couple]]. Supporters are "Silt Crew." |
80 | ** [[OfficialCouple Korrasami]] is "the ''S.S. Mix It Up''." |
81 | ** [[AmicableExes Makorra]] is the "Steam 'Ship." If I'm in a snarky mood about how they canonically functioned as a couple, they may instead be "the rudderless Steam 'Ship" (due to their [[BetterAsFriends romantic incompatibility]]) or "[[StrangledByTheRedString High-Pressure]] Steam" (due to how [[RomanticPlotTumor messily]] they were established). Those of its supporters who ''aren't'' Avatwihards (q.v.) are "Steam Crew." |
82 | ** Masami is "the ''S.S. Dammit''." |
83 | ** Beska is "the rudderless ''S.S. Icy Bliss''." |
84 | ** [[PunnyName P'heer]] is "the [[UnholyMatrimony evil]] [[GhostShipping ghost]] [[OneTruePairing flagship]]." |
85 | ** Mingzan is "the evil [[TogetherInDeath ghost]] [[MinionShipping consort battleship]]." |
86 | * Sparkle Enthusiast: Your typical ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fan, when I'm in the rare mood to be polite about them. |
87 | * Splatter: Anything that's trying to be horror media...but which, thanks to creators apparently going for {{gorn}} and {{squick}} more than bone-chilling terror, ends up being reminiscent of a Creator/{{Troma}} film. (I'm looking at you, Graham Masterton.) |
88 | * TabletopGame/{{Talislanta}} Weird, [[Creator/JackVance Vance Weird]]: Describes fantasy settings that are at least Clayton weird if not Tékumel weird, but have more of a [[TheWonderland whimsical twist]] than is common to either. |
89 | * Tall Blue: Any fictional race fitting that description; generally, either of my two favorite [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft WoW]] races (note one for each faction), favorite ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'' race, [[Literature/{{Stardoc}} S.L. Viehl's Jorenians]], or all of the above. (If the Tall Blues in question are heavily built along with being tall, I may also call them "Big Blues," "[[{{Portmanteau}} draehmi]]," or "[[{{Expy}} Jorexpys]].") |
90 | * Tékumel Weird: Describes fantasy settings that go significantly beyond "Clayton weird." Named for the ''TabletopGame/{{Empire of the Petal Throne}}'' setting. |
91 | * Yipdrool: Admiral Ripsnarl in the Deadmines. |
