Female, age 20, beleaguered collegiate, Jesus freak, [[Creator/JRRTolkien Tolkien]] geek. I can’t even remember how I first came across this site two years or so ago, but [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife the rest]] [[YouKnowYouReadTooMuchTVTropesWhen is history]], especially as I have a very dry sense of humor and a deep appreciation for satire and literary analysis.

I'm attempting to introduce my friends and family, who are generally endowed with a healthy dose of {{Nerd}} and/or {{Geek}} (but mostly branching out in other directions), to this site. So far my results have extended as far as confusion regarding my constant usage of overtly befuddling wiki lingo. I do have one friend who is an occasional peruser of the site (we must admire her fortitude, aye?) who is (too) quietly amused at all of my trope references.

Trope list is indefinitely under construction, because wiki editing is an obsessive hobby of mine. The [[TVTropesAsAGatewayDrug list of things I like]] will also come under construction soon—but it’ll be ''long.'' [[GratuitousFrench C’est divertissement]] [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench sans fin!]]

!! Rhapsody Of A Whimsicality has created pages for the following works:

* ''[[Literature/DemonAMemoir Demon: A Memoir]]''
* ''FanFic/TheFledglingYear''
* ''FanFic/{{Carpetbaggers}}''
* ''Literature/TheMarkOfTheLion'' (technically the page was already in existence, but I added all the tropes and heavily edited the description).
* ''DarthWiki/TheRedemptionOfDragons'' (one of my own novels-in-progress over on the Darth Wiki)

!!The universe has bestowed the following tropes on Rhapsody Of A Whimsicality:

* {{Angrish}}: Usually more when I'm stressed or disgusted than when I'm angry. See also my entry for BuffySpeak.
* ArchiveBinge: How I do love these, no matter what the art medium.
* BadassLongcoat: Happily bucking the trend of short wool coats going around my age-and-gender group.
* BasementDweller: My transition into independent adulthood is still underway.
* BlessedAreTheCheesemakers / EverythingsBetterWithChocolate: Mmm, cheese and chocolate—my two [[TrademarkFavoriteFood gastronomic indulgences]] and major comfort foods (though not at the same time).
* BlueEyes: Depending on whom you talk to; a few people have insisted [[GrayEyes they're grey]].
* BrainyBrunette
* BriefAccentImitation: I live in [[AmericanAccents midwestern America and have a run-of-the-mill accent to match (with a slight twist of the Michigander)]], so I sometimes adopt other people's accents because I can.
* BritishEnglish: Despite being [[AmericanEnglish natively fluent in American]], I consume ''a lot'' of British media, so I've ended up adopting a fair amount of this into my vocabulary. [[LampshadeHanging My family thinks it's hilarious]].
* BuffySpeak: I'm not always very verbally articulate. See also my listing for SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.
* ComebackTomorrow: A staple of half the conversations I have in my lifetime, to my perpetual frustration. See also my listing for DeadpanSnarker.
* ConversationalTroping
* CoolBigSis: Minus the connotations of “hot” (unless it’s a case of GeekyTurnOn).
* CuteBookworm
* DaddysGirl: Unusually enough, since I'm one child of five.
* DeadpanSnarker: I'm quite good at it in print when I want to be; as my social skills slowly improve, I find that I'm using it more in spoken conversation. I dream of someday attaining [[GentlemanSnarker Gentlewoman Snarker]] status.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Minus the eerie; I'm too smiley and not photogenic enough for that. I'm just perpetually really, really pale.
* {{Fanfiction}}: I write and read a fair amount of it, though I'm [[SturgeonsLaw much more picky than most about quality]].
* {{Fangirl}}: Obviously.
* FascinatingEyebrow
* GamerChick
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies
* GrammarNazi / YouKeepUsingThatWord: I'm trying to be less Nazi-ish about it, though.
* HeroicBSOD: My knee-jerk reaction to stressful situations of any kind.
* [[HomeschooledKids Homeschooled Kid]]: and proud.
* ICallHerVera: I have a tendency to name inanimate objects; my laptop's name is [[TheLordOfTheRings Asfaloth]], for example.
* TheInsomniac / HeavySleeper: There is no middle ground. I'm either 100% awake to the world or 100% dead to it.
* LadyOfAdventure: …is my dream job. I'd like to do overseas missionary work someday soon, so you never know…
* LampshadeHanging: I do this often on my own life. My mother hates it because she always thinks I'm trying to suspend her disbelief about something I supposedly did.
* {{Meganekko}}
* {{Moe}}: Several people have told me I tend to manifest this (though none of them are anime geeks enough to use the Japanese terminology).
* MoodSwinger: Not quite medically bipolar, but it's more ubiquitous than just "it's my time of the month".
* MostWritersAreWriters: Doubly—not only have I written characters that are writers, but I have been written into a friend's story as a character who is a writer. Fabulously meta, I know.
* [[MrImagination Ms. Imagination]]
* NerdsAreVirgins: Just [[ChastityCouple waiting on the right guy. And a wedding]]. Since I happen to think fellow NerdsAreSexy, this could get interesting.
* NiceHat: I currently own more of these (about 20) than I do pairs of jeans and shoes combined.
* NotAMorningPerson…
** …but I also sadly avert MustHaveCaffeine: I love the stuff, but if I drink it when I'm actually short on sleep it makes me sick.
* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than I Look]]: Standing 4'10" doesn't do me many favors. I was almost eighteen before waitresses stopped giving me the 12-and-under kids' menu.
* PalsWithJesus: I happen to believe this is the purpose of human existence.
* PetitePride
* PhotographicMemory
* {{Polyglot}}: I’m only really fluent in English, but I speak enough French be basically conversational, and I know some rudimentary German, Japanese, Gaelic, [[JRRTolkien Quenya]], [[ConLang and]] [[JRRTolkien Sindarin]].
* PopUpTrivia: Depending on the show, my entire family is frequently a walking personification of this trope (with or without the assistance of smartphones).
* ProudToBeAGeek
--> '''in the words of JohnGreen:''' Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. … Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is, 'you like stuff.' Which is just not a good insult at all. That's like 'you are too excited about the miracle of human consciousness!'
* RapunzelHair: Down to my hips.
* TheReliableOne: For some reason, people think this is going to be me, and then half the time I accidentally [[AvertedTrope avert]] it and feel like a total jerk.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: There's nothing that can't be put off until I feel more enthusiastic about it, except editing TVTropes.
* ScarsAreForever: Between coming into the world three months prematurely (therefore needing lots of surgeries as a newborn) and emerging from adolescence as something of a klutz, I have several, though they're relatively inconspicuous.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: I've been known to invoke this often in writing, especially on social media but also in academia. Sometimes it's just because I love the toy box that is the English language, sometimes because it's just [[SelfDemonstratingArticle the zenith of jocularity to pedagogically flaunt one's superior vernacular and dexterity apropos contemporary Anglo-Saxon syntax circa those with subordinate linguistic competence]].[[note]]i.e., it's just ''really fun'' to talk circles around people.[[/note]]
* ShoutOut: You mean these aren't a regular mode of communication for everyone? ([[SelfDemonstratingArticle I understood that]] [[Film/TheAvengers reference.]])
* ShrinkingViolet
* SiblingRivalry: I have three brothers and a sister, all very talented in their respective and equally nerdy areas of interest, so this trope was played straight for most of my childhood/teen years; I'm working hard to subvert it as I push off into my twenties.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan
* SkirtOverSlacks: Often. I've been accused of being both "adorable" and "homeless" for this look.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS / NoPronunciationGuide: I have a classic Scandinavian name with an American twist spelling, which my parents thought would solve any mispronunciation issues. It didn't work. Most people who see my name in print don't pronounce it correctly, and people who hear my name spoken cannot spell it properly.
* SpotOfTea: though I enjoy a good sugar-and-cream-doctored cup of coffee, too.
* {{Squee}}: Often.
* SweetTooth
* UnusualEuphemism: I have nil appreciation for vulgarity, and have been heard to create interjections on-the-spot like "flamingo hallelujah", to the point that my friends mock me for it.
* TagalongKid
* TaintedVeins: Except there's no "abnormal condition"; the veins in my arms are merely closer to the skin than is usual, making them highly visible.
* TranquilFury: I often invoke this when I'm really angry because I have a deep-seated terror of confrontation and conflict, but it is ''not'' my natural inclination.
* {{Tumblr}}: I spend far too much time here (albeit with periodic hiatuses, because sometimes all the PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad combined with the excessive amount of homoerotic fanart induces {{Angrish}} and hyperventilation).
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: My running list of "names for my future kids" features a lot of…not really bizarre, but rather unconventional, names. Freya, Zion, Rowan, Moira, Sigurd. Can you tell I have a mythology fetish? Just try to tell me these aren't {{AwesomeMcCoolName}}s.
* WideEyedIdealist: though I'm gradually getting more cynical as my college education trundles on.
* [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Wise Beyond My Years]]: So I'm told over and over, though it doesn't ''feel'' like it.
* WritersCannotDoMath: I've published short stories and volunteered as a student writing tutor, but toss an algebra problem at me and I go blue in the face.
