1 | !!Tropes that apply to me: |
2 | |
3 | * AfraidOfNeedles |
4 | * BadLiar |
5 | * BerserkButton--Don't ''ever'' tell me I should have gotten a Mac. I don't want a Mac, and if all Mac users are as snobby as you I really don't think I want to count myself among them. |
6 | * BloodKnight--In some ways. I'm always looking for ways to challenge myself and I love a good bout of sparring whether verbal or physical, but like it a lot better when it's friendly. |
7 | * DeadGuyJunior--My middle name, anyway. |
8 | * DeadpanSnarker |
9 | * GenreSavvy--I can almost always predict what is going to happen in a movie or TV show, even if I have never seen it before. One of my major criteria for the goodness of a work is its ability to surprise me. |
10 | * HatesBeingTouched |
11 | * IfItsYouItsOkay--This is actually the way attraction in general seems to work for me... |
12 | * OlderThanTheyLook--By about 10 years or so. |
13 | * WholesomeCrossdresser |
14 | |
15 | !!Tropes that I love: |
16 | |
17 | * AffablyEvil--More villains really ought to learn that this works in their favor. |
18 | * CombatPragmatist--I have nothing against showing honor to an opponent ''who upholds the same standards'', but on the whole, lives should come first. |
19 | * DangerouslyGenreSavvy--[[XanatosGambit David Xanatos]] = Best Villain Ever. |
20 | * EarnYourHappyEnding |
21 | * FireForgedFriends |
22 | * GenderBender--Quite possibly a [[{{Rule34}} kink]]. |
23 | * HappilyAdopted |
24 | * HeterosexualLifePartners |
25 | * LikeBrotherAndSister |
26 | * OddFriendship |
27 | * PlatonicLifePartners |
28 | * ShownTheirWork |
29 | * StableTimeLoop--I've just always thought that these were really neat. |
30 | |
31 | !!Tropes that I hate: |
32 | |
33 | * ACupAngst |
34 | * AuthorTract--Works that contain social commentary ought to make people think, ''not'' attempt to browbeat them into thinking like ''you''. What's more, if a work [[{{Anvilicious}} starts beating me over the head with its message]] I'll be inclined to start taking the other side regardless of what that message was. |
35 | * ClingyJealousGirl |
36 | * DidNotDoTheResearch |
37 | * DieForOurShip |
38 | * DracoInLeatherPants |
39 | * ForTheEvulz--Seriously, give your villain a motive. The only case where I've ever seen this done well is with ''{{Gargoyles}}'s'' Thailog, and even ''he'' had a motive for wanting to act evil for evil's sake. |
40 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks--I'm looking at ''you'', ''[[DragonBall Dragon Ball Z]]''. |
41 | * HonorBeforeReason--If the only thing at stake is a tournament trophy, that's one thing, but if lives other than your own hinge on you winning a battle, ''you don't fuck around''. |
42 | * ICanChangeHim--No, ladies, you can't. ''He's'' the only one who can change him. What's more, a complete psychopath isn't a really good person inside who just needs some love, he's a complete psychopath who if he needs anything needs some therapy, hopefully accompanied by being locked away where he can't hurt other people. |
43 | * IdiotBall |
44 | * RapeAsComedy, and any and all forms of [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale Double]] [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale Standard]] [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale Rape]]. I reserve a particular loathing for DoubleStandardRapeDivineOnMortal. |
45 | * RomanticPlotTumor--The idea a lot of writers seem to have that every story ''has'' to have a romantic subplot in order to appeal to a wider audience gets extremely tiresome after awhile. |
46 | * RonTheDeathEater |
47 | * ScienceIsBad |
48 | * StatusQuoIsGod |
49 | * ViewersAreMorons |
50 | * VillainBall--I think that heroes should save the day on their own merits, rather than because the villain did something inexcusably stupid. |
51 | * YoYoPlotPoint |
52 | |
53 | !![[YourMileageMayVary My Mileage Varies On:]] |
54 | |
55 | * GenderBender (in {{fanfic}})--If the point is to explore WhatCouldHaveBeen if Alex had been born Alice, I'm all for it. If it's just because the author thought Alex and Bob would make a good couple but ''ew that would be gay!''... No. If you don't have the guts to write a slash pairing, you shouldn't be writing the pairing to begin with. |
56 | * InterspeciesRomance--Depending on how... compatible... the species are. I ship [[{{Gargoyles}} Elisa/Goliath]] like mad, but in cases where [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong the differences go too far]], then it's all FridgeHorror, BodyHorror, and {{Squick}} for me. |
57 | * MisterSeahorse--I only like this one if it's PlayedForLaughs. Taken seriously or portrayed as romantic, it's just [[{{Squick}} squicky]]. |
58 | |
59 | !!Tropes that I've written: |
60 | |
61 | * AfterActionHealingDrama |
62 | * AngerBornOfWorry |
63 | * CompleteMonster |
64 | * DarkerAndEdgier |
65 | * DontYouDarePityMe |
66 | * FreudWasRight |
67 | * HeWillNotCrySoICryForHim--Funnily enough, I didn't even know this was a trope until some weeks afterward. |
68 | * MirthlessLaughter |
69 | * OrpheanRescue |
70 | * ScarsAreForever |
71 | * StayWithMeUntilIDie |
72 | * StrawmanHasAPoint--What can I say, even characters that I originally intended to be the {{Strawman}} tend to take on a life of their own. |
73 | |
74 | !!Tropes that I've consciously averted: |
75 | |
76 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl |
77 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished |
78 | * DirtForcefield |
79 | * FreudianExcuse |
80 | * InformedAttribute |
81 | * InformedAbility |
