Line #37 Tropers/Ingonyama


1	A self-proclaimed real-life [[YaoiGuys Yaoi Guy]], born in 1982, with entirely too much time ([[PerpetualPoverty and too little money]]) on his hands.
2
3	Created the articles for KungFuPanda, TheDarkPhoenixSaga, and most recently, ThatLongHairedCreepyGuy.
4
5	Suffered TVTropesWillRuinYourLife early on, especially if they dealt with VideoGames and WesternAnimation. Has become a bit of an edit-whore, and used to have to resist the urge to skive off work so he could make more DoWeHaveThisOne? edits than is necessary.
6
7	Falls hard on the 'idealistic' side of the [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism Sliding Scale.]] Shamelessly believes in ThePowerOfFriendship, RedemptionPromotion, ForHappiness, and the RuleOfFun. Good for his personal life, bad for his writing. :p
8
9	Harbors PerverseSexualLust for [[WarriorPoet Goliath]], [[BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]], [[XanatosPlannedThisIndex Xanatos]], [[SpotlightStealingSquad Wolverine]], and [[PowerRangers Jeebus]] [[CanonSue Oliver.]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial But I feel no shame! None at all!]] [[BlatantLies Especially not that last one!]]
10
11	Also a fan of ''[[AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]'' (the Nick series, not the {{Anvilicious}} [[{{Avatar}} James Cameron movie]]), ''{{Bewitched}},'' ''{{Bunnicula}}'', ''JadeEmpire'', ''FinalFantasyVII'', ''FinalFantasyX'', ''KingdomHearts'', ''YoungAvengers'', ''KimPossible'', ''{{Gargoyles}}'', ''[[TheTerminator Terminator 2]],'' ''[[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]]'' [[MemeticMutation (OF COURSE!!!}]], ''{{WALL-E}}'', and the vast majority of the DisneyAnimatedCanon and DonBluth filmography. Also, anything by DianeDuane or TamoraPierce.
12
13	Since his exposure to this site, he's also discovered the joys that are ''[[DoctorWho Nu Who]],'' ''{{Wicked}},'' ''DragonAge,'' ''[[{{Fable}} Fable II and III]],'' ''[[TheElderScrolls Oblivion]],'' ''{{Lunar}}, (and in 2010) ''{{Erasure}}, ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog,'' ''{{Eureka}}'', and ''Warehouse13.''
14
15	In 2011 I discovered ''FinalFantasyVI'' for the first time, and was loving ''AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' and ''YoungJustice'' until their cancellations in 2013. Also planned on watching a metric ''crapton'' of superhero movies as they come out. ^_^ ''CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' was the best by far IMHO.
16
17	2012 brought on a mad love for ''TheLegendOfKorra'', the ''[[Film/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' movie, ''{{Brave}}'', ''RiseOfTheGuardians,'' ''WreckItRalph'', and a slew of new games, like ''BatmanArkhamCity'', ''KingdomsOfAmalurReckoning'', '''''{{Skyrim}}''''', ''[[TheSims Sims 3]]'', and (FINALLY) the ''MassEffect'' series.
18
19	In 2013, I discovered ''OnceUponATime'', ''DCUniverseOnline'', ''{{Frozen}}'', and started writing my own original fiction professionally. I also became the voice of Chibi-Cthulu for ThatLongHairedCreepyGuy's web show, ''Looking Back In Annoyance''.
20
21	2014 brings on the advent of finally going to college, and singing an ensemble part in ''AvenueQ'' while studying multimedia technology. And a newfound obsession with ''LostOdyssey''. I also became obsessed with ''SailorMoon'' (better late than never), through [[Anime/SailorMoonCrystal its second anime incarnation]]. ''VideoGame/Journey'' holds a special place in my heart this year too.
22
23	'''Still''' not over the death of ''{{Eureka}}''.
24
25	Spent ''far'' too much of my life following ''{{X-Men}}'' ({{ComicBooks/Storm}} is my favorite fictional character of all time), until [[DieForOurShip certain]] [[DarthWiki/WallBanger plot]] [[StatusQuoIsGod developments]] ''[[SubvertedTrope almost]]'' [[RuinedFOREVER ruined it for him,]] and then [[FaceHeelTurn other]] [[CrapsackWorld plot]] [[BrokenBase developments]] [[DoubleSubversion finished the job]].
26
27	[[http://triplenerdscore.wordpress.com/ I WAS working on a blog on the subject,]] but it swiftly turned into a great big treatise on all the geeky things I like. [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder It updates...infrequently.]]
28
29	Writes fanfic (usually SlashFic), but '''really dislikes''' Fanfiction.net. Not because of the writers or stories, but because of the administration's, er...[[{{Understatement}} relaxed]] attitude towards flamers and spammers.
30
31	Since 2013 I have had the distinct honor of playing Chibi-Cthulu's voice on ThatLongHairedCreepyGuy's YouTube videos.
32
33
34	[[folder: Tropes that define me]]
35	* AngstAversion: I'm willing to put up with a lot, as long as I get a happy ending at the end of it.
36	* AspergerSyndrome: Misdiagnosed as [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny ADD]] for much of my life. Basically, if I like it, I'll talk your ear off. If not, I might go [[ThousandYardStare thousand yard]] on you.
37	** And as of 2012, subverted, as I've been RE-diagnosed with [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny]] ADHD.
38	** 2013 was when the psychiatrists threw their hands in the air and said "Fuck it, he's got both."
39	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny. [[XJustX Just...]]'''AttentionDeficitOohShiny.'''
40	* StraightGay: I ''can'' camp it up with the best of them, but anyone who passes me on the street or has a 5-minute conversation with me ''[[YourMileageMayVary probably]]'' won't be able to tell.
41	* BlindWithoutEm: Blurry and double-visioned if I'm not wearing glasses.
42	* BrownEyes: And I [[PuppyDogEyes know how to use 'em.]]
43	* {{Geek}}: If I like it, chances are I'll research it to death and then talk about it until people are ready to hurt me. Badly.
44	* HollywoodNerd / {{Adorkable}}: Or so others tell me.
45	* BerserkButton: I have a couple. Anything related to abuse or inequality will get me riled up.
46	* PerpetualPoverty: I'm bad with money.
47	* CoolCoat: As of 2013.
48	** And a second, in 2014. By the end of the year it was covered in paint from school.
49	* {{Polyamory}}: Four boyfriends, one live-in and three long-distance. Three of whom are also with each other. It works for me. :)
50	* TechnicalPacifist: I consider myself a witch by modern standards, so I follow "An' it harm none" as best I can...but I live in SanFrancisco, so I carry mace as a self-defense precaution.
51	* TallDarkAndSnarky / TheSnarkKnight: I judge things pretty harshly...and that includes myself.
52	* TheMessiah: No, I don't have [[AGodAmI delusions.]] I'm just really, really nice, when I can afford to be.
53	* SanFrancisco: Home sweet home. ^_^
54	* GrowingTheBeard: A literal example. I tend to think I started finding my identity around the time I started growing a proper goatee.
55	* TheBeard: I had one, for a while. I consider the way that relationship ended MyGreatestFailure.
56	* GeniusDitz: 161 IQ...and I frequently walk down the street singing.
57	* NeutralGood: The closest thing to my actual (perceived) alignment I can think of.
58	* GoodIsNotDumb
59	* LovableSexManiac: I like guys. A lot.
60	* AnimationAgeGhetto: I take plenty of flak for most of my favorite shows being WesternAnimation.
61	* NostalgiaFilter: Subverted; one of my favorite movies of all time is [[SheRaPrincessOfPower "The Secret of the Sword,"]] despite being [[NarmCharm fully aware]] of the [[WorldOfHam quality of the voice-acting]] and LimitedAnimation.
62	* AltItis: I have ''DragonQuestIX, {{Oblivion}}, {{Skyrim}}'', ''DragonsDogma'', ''SoulCaliburV'' and ''DragonAgeOrigins''. Out of those six, I've only beaten ''DragonAgeOrigins'' and ''SoulCaliburV'' once each. This trope is why.
63	* DoesNotLikeGuns: Not in the least.
64	* {{BFS}}: I have a life-size wooden replica of the [[FinalFantasyVII Buster Sword]] in my apartment.
65	* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: I can be a very good debater, as long as it's an issue that isn't too close to home
66	* ItsAllAboutMe: I'm a nice guy, but I'm also somewhat selfish.
67	* AngstAversion: Oh so very, ''very'' much.
68
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	More to come as I think of them.
72	(Yes, I consider myself both TheMessiah and TheSnarkKnight. At the same time. I'm a Gemini, we're weird like that)
73
74	Closing statement: Love this place. [[LoveYouAndEverybody Love you guys.]] [[ThePowerOfRock Rock on.]] ^_^
75
76	[[AC: Sign the guestbook / post something clever below:]]
77
78	* I enjoy so great a number of works on the list you have created of works you enjoyed that I believe I must read, watch, or play the remaining number. [[RidiculousProcrastinator Curses.]] [[SophisticatedAsHell I'm sure it'll be fun though!]] --Tropers/RedWren
79	* Fellow Aspie gay (used to be bi, but troubles with women have pushed me to the other side) Troper here. Nice page. I'm not a fan of everything you're a fan of, but I definately share your uber-Buffy fan-ness. Especially with [[Literature/{{Twilight}} the recent craze]]. I stand by true vampires, not that sparkly bullshit! Anyway, nice page, be sure to send a return comment my way. Rock on, old boi! --Tropers/BlakeDiamond
80	** (Responding to your comment on my page) Me? CrazyAwesome? Nah, you're just saying that :P
