Line #151 Tropers/AFourWiggedDragon


1	->''"My shoe is quacking..."''
2
3	This troper is a geeky eccentric, cake-eating dragon lord, and [[ReluctantPsycho Lovecraft protagonist candidate.]] They like [[ASpotOfTEa tea time]], [[PyroManiac warm fires]], and [[NightmareFetishist long walks through the graveyard (preferably at night)]]. This troper has been on here under many names due to circumstances and a memory like [[{{Metaphorgotten}} a... really bad memory,]] now hopes to be known here permanently by the name displayed.
4
5	When [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife Tv Tropes Isn't Ruining Their Life]], they are a published poet and in the process of writing a fantasy novel (which, when published, will have its own page on here), is an amateur but ardent dracologist and dracophile, a voice actor, and flails about a bit on the theatre floorboards.
6
7	!!This troper provides examples of:
8	* AbsentMindedProfessor: Not an actual professor, but still an academic (amateur and otherwise) who's head is always in some project or study rather than the real world; forgets where everything is except their projects and books; frequently starts a conversation in the middle (after having gone through the first half in their head) without realising it, and trails off into silence without realising they've...
9	* {{Adorkable}}: In Feanor and the Doc's considered opinions. This troper disagrees; not adorkable, dang it! They are ethereal and vaguely threatening. Yes. Absolutely.
10	* AnimalMotifs: Loves crows and is heavily associated with them among their friends.
11	* AnOddPlaceToSleep: Doesn't sleep well in beds, prefers the floor. When [[TheInsomniac they can fall asleep]] they can fall asleep anywhere and in any position.
12	* {{Asexuality}}: Is asexual.
13	* BadDreams / FlashbackNightmare: Comes courtesy of a DarkAndTroubledPast.
14	* BadNewsInAGoodWay: Has a tendency to deliver bad news in a peppy announcer voice.
15	* BerserkButton:
16	** Threatening, insulting, or otherwise hurting their friends.
17	** {{Dehumanization}} and "Othering."
18	** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Confusing (occidental) dragons with other dragonoids (especially wyverns). Research takes all of two seconds. Occidental dragon = four legs and a minimum of two wings. Wyvern = two legs and two wings. It's not that difficult.]]
19	* BewareTheNiceOnes / BewareTheSillyOnes: Very laid back and/or silly, it comes to most people's surprise that they have a BerserkButton and how quickly and ferociously they arise when one is pressed.
20	* {{Bifauxnen}}: Dresses in suits and prefers to look androgynous.
21	* BitsOfMeKeepPassingOut: Their appendages lose circulation extremely easily. HilarityEnsues.
22	** SillyWalk: Leads to this.
23	* [[{{Bookworm}} Bookwyrm]]: Loves books. Hoards them.
24	* BowtiesAreCool: Frequently wears a bowtie.
25	* BrokenAce: Thanks to being ThePerfectionist. Nothing to do with their sexual orientation.
26	* BuffySpeak: Especially when they are dealing with reality while the head is stuck somewhere else. Often borders or digs right into word salad speech.
27	--> AFourWiggedDragon [coming into the kitchen]: "Where's the hard thingy that one puts the black sippy stuff in? Not just one, but my favourite one?"
28	* CatchPhrase:
29	** Did you know [proceeds to list off a fact they are positive the other person didn't know]
30	** Also...
31	** Well [proceeds to tell personal anecdote]
32	* ChaoticGood
33	-->G: "You would make a very good leader."
34	-->AFourWiggedDragon: "That's not a compliment. That's like telling me I would make a very good Dalek."
35	* CheshireCatGrin: [[PerpetualSmiler Nigh constantly.]]
36	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Never quite sure if this is a good thing. Along with living in CloudCuckooland, is probably responsible for HarmlessVillain status.
37	* CloudCuckoolander: Possibly their defining trait. Frequently has arguments with themself, their characters, other fictional characters, and inanimate objects out loud (often completely nonsensically); always has an EarWorm in their head and is likely to break out in song and/or dance at any moment; finds the most commonplace items fascinating for long periods of time and gets unreasonably excited about mundane appliances like motion-detector lights; and constantly does [[BriefAccentImitation Brief Accent Imitations]] and impressions.
38	-->B: "I'm just saying, you have abnormalities ''inside'' your abnormalities."
39	* CrazySane
40	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass:
41	-->Z: "[They've] got two modes: silly and gangster serial killer, and I'd hate to meet [them] in a dark alley when [they've] got that face on."
42	* DarkIsNotEvil: Wears black, likes the dark, is benevolent.
43	* DerailedTrainOfThought: Constantly; there might as well not even be tracks; often DeterioratesIntoGibberish.
44	* DitzyGenius: Among friends and family is generally the go-to person for information on any area of knowledge, however they are pretty much useless in matters of practicality.
45	* TheDividual: More specifically, one half of a Syndividual with a BadassAdorable GenkiGirl.
46	-->B: "You're basically the same person, just with a different personality. Like the Trinity."
47	* DoingItForTheArt: Has been known to do some really stupid and risky things in the name of art and authenticity.
48	-->R.E.: "You do realise we're just making a dumb little four minute movie that probably nobody else but us will see, right? You don't have to kill yourself doing it."
49	-->AFourWiggedDragon: "But would it help?"
50	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Is pale-skinned and is a brunette.
51	* EvilEyebrows: Human form came equipped with a pair of villainously arching eyebrows.
52	** FascinatingEyebrow: One of the features of EvilEyebrows is that they are quite capable of spelling out reams of snark without saying a word.
53	* FailedASpotCheck: Voted "Most likely to walk into a tree while admiring it" with good reason.
54	* ForgetsToEat: Unless reminded by family or well-meaning friends.
55	* GoodIsNotSoft: Doesn't like fights, but if anyone touches anyone they love, they will end things.
56	* GuiltComplex: Compliments of ChronicHeroSyndrome without god-like powers.
57	* HarmlessVillain: Thought about taking over the world. Likes the idea. Wouldn't know what to do with the world once they had it — probably give it back, as they hate the idea of ''ruling'' anything. So, erm, yeah, not going to go to far in the overlord-y villain game without wanting to rule the world or, at least, ''something''. Sticks to [[PokeThePoodle Poking The Poodle]] (making it so the general public can't use writing utensils, or that you can only send texts on 'phones that don't have a qwerty keypad, etc.)
58	** Their [[EldritchAbomination hair]], [[TakeOverTheWorld on the other]] [[IncrediblyLamePun strand...]]
59	* HotLibrarian: According to Feanor, anyway.
60	* IHaveManyNames: Arch, Ira, [[AbsentMindedProfessor Professor]], [[TheATeam Murdock]], [[LadyOfAdventure Lady K]], [[TricksterMentor Twister]], and [[CheshireCatGrin Cheshire]], among others.
61	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Can and will weaponise onions and curries, and their WeaponOfChoice in a duel is their nose.
62	* IncessantMusicMadness: Is often the cause of this in others.
63	* IneffectualLoner
64	-->"I just want to be left alone, but I can't fight this on my own."
65	* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: At the risk of sounding prideful, believes this ardently.
66	* InstantWakingSkills: Almost always. When they don't, it may be a case of WakeUpFighting.
67	* ItAmusedMe: Frequent motivation for many of their antics.
68	* KnifeNut: Loves and collects knives.
69	** KukrisAreKool: Has a special penchant for kukris.
70	* KnightInSourArmor: Started out as a WideEyedIdealist who literally wanted to be a KnightInShiningArmor, then went through CharacterDevelopment.
71	* LadyOfAdventure: According to the Doc, is something between a secret agent, [[MenInBlack Agent K]], and a queen. Despite identifying as agender, this troper must agree that they fit the trope quite well (and is also very flattered by the comparison).
72	* LargeHam: VERY LARGE, MY DEAR TROPER!
73	* LiteralistSnarking: Often.
74	-->C: "What's up?"
75	-->AFourWiggedDragon [tilts head back and stares above]: "Generally or specifically? And would you like a list?"
76	* LoveMartyr: Platonically. This has not, historically, worked out well.
77	* MagicLibrarian: Is an eldritch crow humanoid, ambiguously a benevolent undead thing, and a librarian.
78	** ScaryLibrarian: An ''eldritch crow thing'', ambiguously an ''undead thing'', and a librarian. Also, as a librarian, has control over the [[TheMenInBlack Library Secret Police.]]
79	* {{Malaproper}}: Has given considerable humour and gotten them into trouble not a few times. Once accidentally said StarWars when they meant StarTrek; nearly didn't survive.
80	* MartyrWithoutACause: A trait which has sometimes caused concern or anger in their friends.
81	* {{Meganekko}} : Looks good in glasses and fits most of the tropes associated with it. According to Feanor, this is a large part of their appeal.
82	* MemeticMutation: Often (but not always) due to the {{Malaproper}} trope and CloudCuckoolander status. Some of which include:
83	** "Come here and SMELL me!"
84	** "Moooollusks!"
85	** "I have seen[[DramaticPause ...]] the PICKLES OF REQUIREMENT!"
86	* MessyHair: Doesn't really have a choice. The hair does what it wants.
87	* MrImagination: Comes with being a writer.
88	* NiceHat: Has a couple of trilbies, a fedora, an umbrella hat, an inflatable crown, and a fez.
89	* NightmareFetishist: Is inclined to [[{{Squee}} get unreasonably excited]] about graveyards, dead things, ruins, slime, skeletons and monsters. On the other hand, gets creeped out by pastel colours in large quantities.
90	* NotAfraidToDie: They've lived so close to it, they don't see anything to fear anymore.
91	* PerceptionFilter: Has a glitchy one. Even people who know them well have been known to walk right past them several times ''while looking for them'' without noticing them — naturally, they is quite happy to watch this circumstance without giving away their position until someone who the perception filter is not working on has the kindness to point out where they is.
92	-->C: "Where the hell were you?"
93	-->AFourWiggedDragon: "You walked by me five times."
94	* PluckyGirl: Tends towards this.
95	* PlatonicLifePartners: With a BadassAdorable GenkiGirl and a HotScientist.
96	* PrehensileHair: Their hair has been known to eat small animals, attack unwary hairstylists, and even strangle its host when it is displeased with them -- and that's just during the day. It is believed that the hair is some sort of EldritchAbomination/vampiric alien symbiote that hunts at night and ''may'' be planning to take over the world. [[EvilIsHammy THERE IS NO MAY. I AM THE DESPOT WHO WILL RULE ALL. BOW BEFORE ME, READER. THERE IS NO ESCAPE. MY PRIVILEGED MINION UPON WHOSE HEAD I HAVE GIVEN THE HONOUR OF MY RESIDENCE HAS TRIED TO REBEL AGAINST ME BEFORE; THEY AND THEIR FRIENDS FAILED MISERABLY. IN MY GREAT MERCY, I LEFT THEM SCARRED ''ONLY'' IN MIND AND BODY. SWEAR ALLEGIANCE, AND WHEN MY DAY HAS COME, YOU, READER, SHALL BE SPARED MY GREAT WRATH.]]
97	** HammerspaceHair: Based on what can be hidden in the hair, it is believed that The Despot Who etc. is actually quite a bit larger even than it looks.
98	* ProudToBeAGeek: Slight understatement.
99	* QuotingMyself: Not uncommon when they say something actually serious.
100	* RidiculousProcrastinator: Is it any wonder Tv Tropes attracted them?
101	* RoyalWe: Comes with the office of librarian.
102	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Has a bad habit of especially doing explosion noises.
103	* SadClown: The more stressed, depressed, or sad they are, the more they acts silly and makes [[IncrediblyLamePun Incredibly Lame Puns]] and jokes. At the far end of this they become a manic TalkativeLoon.
104	* SelfDeprecation: But not very good at it.
105	* SeriouslyScruffy: When they've gotten obsessed with a project or are under pressure from school.
106	* SingleTargetSexuality: Is asexual, but has one person they are willing and eager to have sex with.
107	* SinisterSchnoz: Has a very long aquili-Roman nose.
108	* TheSnarkKnight: Can't help but quip on the idiocy that surrounds them, but just as equally quips about the idiocy of self falling into same or similar idiocy.
109	* SophisticatedAsHell: Has a tendency to oscillate between SpockSpeak and, y'know, other ways of speaking for the shits and giggles.
110	* UnusualEuphemism: Tends to use these so as to be able to most effectively utilise the PrecisionFStrike when wanted.
111	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Is this indeed.
112	* WeaponizedOffspring: How The Despot Who etc. intends to TakeOverTheWorld.
113	-->GenreSavvy friend: "When I have my own house, you are not coming into it until you get rid of that ''thing.'' I don't trust it. It'll try to take over my house like it's taking over this one. ...I'll know how to make home-made grenades by then."
114	* WaistcoatOfStyle: Likes them, and tries to wear them when possible.
115	* [[{{Whovians}} Whovian]]: With great pride.
