Darth Wiki: TV Tropes Ruined Your Life aka: Tv Tropes Will Enhance Your Life
"I have lived for over a hundred years and read thousands upon thousands of [articles], yet each piece of knowledge I acquire only reminds me of my ignorance, because it invariably teases me with hints of a dozen new things I have no knowledge of."
Screw the future tense of TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life! For some of us, it has already happened! If it has, let us know!
TV Tropes can easily ruin your life, but not in the common sense. It's more of a cool way of ruining your life, like turning you into a mutant zombie or a super hot vampire that girls love even though you'll probably suck the life out of them.
But this is Just for Fun. If you actually got into some sort of major trouble due to TV Tropes, there are better places to write about it than this. This page is just for listing either real or made up things that TV Tropes made some problems for you.

TV Tropes introduced me to fanfiction... Pass the Brain Bleach, please.
TV Tropes pulled back to world of animation! Well, good ones mainly but my I argument still stands. Do you know how hard it is to watch good anime/animation in the world of Animation Age Ghetto?
To be honest. It was quite pleasant. It DID get me hooked into Kagami hentai though... =S
Hey, Hype Aversion isn't a bad thing. If anything, this proves that TV Tropes has the potential to enhance one's intelligence, not unlike That Other Wiki.
TV Tropes. That's the only name you'll hear. TV Tropes. It means the end and the death. TV Tropes. I am TV Tropes. TV Tropes is all around you. TV Tropes is the man beside you. TV Tropes will gnaw on your bones. Look out! TV Tropes is here.
TV Tropes has made me think that I'm living in a postmodern novel.
TV Tropes pressed my flowers. I liked those flowers. NOW THEY'RE FLAT!
I got my very first "out of memory" notice on this computer thanks to TV Tropes (and possibly tabbed browsing). I received similar complaints from friends I referred to here.
TV Tropes, you're well on your way to making me fail psych. It's already hard enough when I'm NOT lost in your thousands of articles while the professor's lecturing, it's freaking impossible now!
TV Tropes is making me curious about works that will probably destroy my sanity when I finally track them down. Also, it's made me spend hours trying to remember how to spell them. (Example: Higurashi No Naku Kora Ni . . . Aaargh!)
Meh. Before I ever heard of TV Tropes, I saw a show called the The Twins Of Destiny. It was just about impossible not to notice that nobody in that show ever moved their chin unless they were facing away from the camera.
TV Tropes turned my life into a Thirty Xanatos Pileup!
TV Tropes got me into Nightwish, I bought Dark Passion Play. All 13 songs occupy the top 13 spaces on my most played on iTunes. It also makes me want to burn the copy of St. Anger my Mum bought me for Christmas.
TV Tropes stole my girlfriend, knocked her up, then went into a Hannibal Lecture about why I should just end it all.
TV Tropes killed an Unknown Troper, and made a That Troper out of his Heartless. Also, the Nobody gained the power of vampirism, and used it to create Twilight. Any more reason why TV Tropes should die?
TV Tropes made Kingdom Hearts 2 raise even more questions than it answered. And it made all the Final Mixes unavailable outside of Japan. Why Tetsuya? WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US?!
In December of 2008, during my initial discovery of TV Tropes, I had 155 tabs open to TV Tropes in Firefox. Citation available on request...

TV Tropes made me watch the bad ending of Munch's Oddysee. Now I want to vomit. I'm sparing you a link.
TV Tropes isn't as innocent as you think. I was in 'Nam with TV Tropes. That's right, I watched this son of a bitch TV Tropes walk soldiers no older than 16 to their deaths. It also raped a bear. And that bear was my father!
TV Tropes made me realize everything I like sucks and all I know is LIIIEEESS!!
I have a university assignment due at 5:00 PM. It is 3:48 PM at the time of typing this, and I still have barely any work done, despite even taking Ritalin. Damn you TV Tropes and working so well with ADHD to deliver a one-two punch!
Buddy you're a young man, trope man, shouting on the street gonna take on The World someday, you got trope on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place...
TV Tropes mentioned Y'Golonac without spoiler-tagging, dooming me to being mindraped. Then it mentioned Y 'Golonac with spoiler tags, but I highlit it and read it anyway. Now I have been mindrapedtwice.
TV Tropes appeared to me and tried to stop me from killing myself. It then showed me what life would be like without me. As soon as it seemed that life would be better without me it ditched my soul in purgatory and left. The worst part? When TV Tropes appeared I was making a Hot Pocket, not attempting to kill myself.
No, TV Tropes is a virus. It consumes your web browser.
Sure thing. I Lied.
Actually, it's true. TV Tropes removed my interest on other websites. (For example, visiting Yahoo, Google, Youtube, etc. were all sacrificed in the name of visiting TV Tropes)
TV Tropes had me visit Hinamizawa. Now there's people stalking me, and I think my friends might have killed someone! And my neck just won't stop itching!
Thanks to the page about Potholing, now the expression "for some reason" is FOREVER linked to... something... awful!! * cringes* I can't read or hear that expression anymore without thinking about it!! It will NEVER be the same again, ever!!!!
TV Tropes made me write a poem about how T Vtropes ruined my life. I Was Quite a Looker I used to be creative! AND LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME NOW! I can only write about my addiction on the few times I actually do write! Why! Why! Why!
TV Tropes caused me to forever spell 'Troupe' as 'Trope', earning me the mockery of the already few scraps of what remains of my social life (something else TV Tropes has already devoured)!
TV Tropes made me realize just how unimportant humanity really is, and it speaks to me in my dreams. We speak of such wonderful ways to torture the lesser beings. I can't wait to get back to sleep.
TV Tropes has caused me to rather epicly typo "wikia" as "trope" when describing something that is perfect to help in a situation. Luckily the friend in question is also a victim of TV Tropes Ruined Your Life.
TV Tropes made me think for a moment that if I could just read all the pages on TV Tropes, I would find the answer... to something, or I'd have all the knowledge in the world. I still kind of think that.
TV Tropes introduced me to the slender man and now he's coming for me and he wants me and he calls me at night and visits me in my dreams and shows me happy things and I didn't want to kill him or go with him but his tentacles and silent nature scared me and fascinated me all at the same time and he wants to do things to me RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN
TV Tropes made me start playing I Thought It Meanteverywhere. Like, say, the Other Wiki. Note: the 50 Cent Party does not officially support sipping Bacardi like it's your birthday, and the stooge sort algorithm is not "sucker somebody else into sorting it for you".
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here, for ye hast come to TV Tropes, from whence there is no return and no escape. Oh, sup now on its sweet despair, of searing flame and freezing ice, filling mind and soul with ruinous light, and know the crushing horror of eternity, drawing ye ever deeper into the fathomless abyss.
TV Tropes ruined pretty much every single game, movie and series out there for me. Now I can't play/watch/read it without visiting TV tropes and being barraged by spoilers! I CAN'T RESIST CLICKING THEM! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
TV Tropes has made me unable to complete ANY work at work for the past 3 weeks
TV Tropes got me grounded due to my father discovering me at 4 in the morning on here. Therefore, I was only able to get on when dad wasn't awake...at 12-4 in the morning.
TV Tropes made me forget a whole homework assignment! AND I stayed up so late on it, I slept through an 11:30 class! 11:30!
Time and again I tell myself, "I'll stay clean tonight." But the little blue links keep following me. Oh no, not again! I'm stuck with a valuable friend. I'm happy, hope you're happy too.
TV Tropes is garbage! It ruined my artistic view of the world! I'll add it to the heap! CRUNCH!
I was gonna go to class, before I got on TV Tropes, I coulda' cheated and I coulda passed, but I got on TV Tropes, I'm taking it next semester and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got on TV Tropes. I messed up my entire life, because I got on TV Tropes I lost my kids and wife , because I got on TV Tropes. Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk, and I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got on TV Tropes, because I got on TV Tropes, because I got on TV Tropes...
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, TV Tropes was an additive. Second, there was a part of me, and I didn't know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for its info. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with it.
"What is a website!? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, Have at you!!"
I found it some years back, out in the far reaches of the world, glinting strangely from the black, this golden trinket, and it has since become a constant fascination. How often have I lost myself, staring into its lustrous depths. How many times have I heard it whispering to me during silent hours, when I have been alone. Indeed, I swear that it has a voice. My friends have spoken against it; have said that it is unhealthy; have told me to throw it away, but they do not understand, or perhaps they merely seek to gain it for themselves. Well, I have distanced myself from them and they will not have it. No, I will keep it for my own, for it has become very ... precious to me.
TV Tropes is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. That you are a slave, Troper. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind.
TV Tropes made me forget the witty entry I was going to put on this page!
This may sound wierd... But some tropes makes me depressed!!!
TV Tropes drew me in slowly. Made me vast my time reading more and more articles and finally starting editing pages myself. No it is urging me to find new innocent souls to drag in. TV Trope wants to grow. Become stronger. IT WILL RULE THE WORLD!
