Yo, peeps. My name is AL 19, but you can call me Allie if you'd like (Albeit it's not my real name). I'm 27, am a huge anime fan, and frequently go on various sites, especially DeviantArt. I made an account on this site somewhere in 2014, but decided to write this in December of 2016.
Tropes That Apply To Me
- Berserk Button:
- Don't tell me that vaccinations cause autism. Vaccinations immune people from certain diseases, so thus, autism is completely irrelevant.
- Don't also tell me that all cartoons are for children. I'll be chill if you respect people who watch cartoons regardless of their age, and acknowledge that animation targeted towards adults exist. But if you automatically assume that something is for kids just because it's animated and insult people who watch cartoons, I'll give you an eye-roll at best, and criticize you for that logic at worst.
- Bi The Way: It's...pretty complicated. I thought I was straight when I was a teenager; also thinking I was just bi-curious, but a while ago, I came to realize it wasn't correct, because looking back, I also became cognizant that I felt attracted to women as well.
- Bile Fascination: I (kinda) like to watch bad movies/TV shows just to laugh/snark at it.
- Child Hater: My ears are already sensitive to loud noises, so there's no way I want to be near a child.
- Dead Fic: Four of my fics are permanently discontinued (And I've also deleted them in late July 2017), because I had no motivation to resume them, they were sequels (Which could tie in to the motivation part; also one of the reasons why I don't write sequels nowadays), and/or they had old OC's of mine, who I don't like writing anymore.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Everything's Cuter with Kittens: Whenever I see a cat, especially a kitten, I'll mostly likely say in a cutesy voice, "Kitty~!"
- Fanfic: I've been writing Fanfiction since late 2011, but I'm currently on break from writing them at the moment.
- Gasshole: I've been called the "Queen of Burps" in my family (And I'm proud of that. Muahahaha!), so...that should be saying something.
- Greed: Although I only act like this jokingly.
- Not Distracted by the Sexy: While I occasionally make comments on how attractive a man/woman is, I don't let myself be distracted by appearances.
- Old Shame: Most of my fics from 2011-2013, especially from mid-2013, which I believe was my darkest time writing fanfiction.
- Only Six Faces: I try to subvert this when I'm drawing different characters. But in my old art style, it was absolutely played straight.
- Self-Deprecation
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Downplayed when I'm on the internet, but played straight in real life.
- The Teetotaler: Largely downplayed. I drink a six-pack Smirnoff at least monthly. Smirnoff's actually the only alcoholic beverage I drink, because it doesn't have a lot of alcohol in it (I've tasted a few other alcoholic beverage's, but they taste so gross).
- Will Not Tell a Lie
My Favorite Genres
- Anime/Movies/TV Shows:
- Music:
- Eurobeat: You have no idea how much I adore this genre. I discovered the term Eurobeat somewhere in 2015, and the more songs I listened, the bigger my love for it was. Yes, I'm that addicted to it. The only issue I have with this genre is there're a lot of songs that're difficult to find. Doesn't help if a song itself sounds really good.
- Electronic Music: A majority of it, though I feel very mixed with Dubstep, and my least favorite subgenre of EM is Trap Music.
My Favorite Tropes
- Adorkable
- Bittersweet Ending
- Darker and Edgier: I'm into dark stuff, so...yeah.
- Deconstruction: Mostly on tropes I cannot stand (Especially when it comes to a lot of Double Standards).
- Earn Your Happy Ending
- Gentle Giant
- Happily Married: I'm not expecting married couples to be all lovey-dovey, but I like seeing pairings where they're there for each other. And if they're happy, then I'm happy for them. But of course, that depends on the chemistry between the pairing, and how likable the characters are.
- Karmic Death: Seeing villains get their comeuppance is nothing short of satisfying.
- Manly Tears: I love seeing men cry, because they're still human (Or alien, but you get the point).
- Rule 63: I find it very fun to see fanart, where a certain character is gender flipped (This is not to say I like it any more or less than characters in their original gender). I also love seeing this kind of plot in certain shows.
- Slapstick Knows no Gender: Because it doesn't limit to one gender.
- Straight Man
- When She Smiles
- Would Hit a Girl: Of course, when it's in self-defense, and/or if the female in question really deserves it.
Pet Peeve Tropes
- Accidental Pervert / Unprovoked Pervert Payback: I didn't find this funny when I was a teenager, and I sure as shit ain't gonna find this funny as an adult.
- Black Comedy Rape: I just don't find depictions of rape funny, regardless of the gender of the perpetrator and the victim.
- Crazy Jealous Guy / Clingy Jealous Girl: I can understand a character being sad, because they weren't able to be with someone they love, but this trope frustrates me to no end. Seriously, why can't they all just get along, and not make such a huge deal out of it?
- Cure Your Gays: You can't magically make a homosexual person straight. That's not how sexual orientation works.
- Die for Our Ship: It's understandable to hate a character because of their personality and whatnot. But to hate a character all because they're somehow "in the way" of a fan's favorite couple? Do I even need to elaborate on how shallow and utterly stupid this is?
- Does Not Like Men / He-Man Woman Hater: Whenever they give out a "reason" for a character to hate a gender, it makes me think, "So because this one person or a few people did an awful thing, you believe that billions of people of the same gender are the exact same as those?" It's very stupid and completely sexist. Even if they don't have a reason, it still makes me roll my eyes. The only exception to this that I can think of is Meg from Hercules.
- Jumpscare: You can make a horror film/show scary without using this.
- Long Title: Mainly because I tend to have trouble remembering what a title to certain story is (However, I can deal with it when it comes to chapter/episode titles).
- Meaningful Name: Not meaningful names themselves, per se. What I mean is I dislike it when creators insist on giving their characters names just to fit with said characters' personalities. Parents are the ones who give their children names, so whenever this happens, I think, "So the parents are psychic?" Even when I first started writing Fanfics, I found this to be pretty unnecessary. If you have a name, you just grow into it.
- No Ending: I prefer to have a proper conclusion, thank you very much.
- Rouge Angles of Satin: When they're in Fanfics. I can let it slide if it happens sparingly, but if there're too many grammar and punctuation mistakes, then I'll most likely not read a certain Fanfic. Then again, I rarely read Fanfiction anymore, so I guess that isn't saying a whole lot.
- Stalking is Love / Stalker with a Crush / Stalking Is Funny if It Is Female After Male: If you're planning on writing a romance story, for the love of god, don't have one of them stalk the other! Stalking is creepy, regardless of gender!
- Tsundere: When they're badly written.
- Yandere: How exactly is this type of character cute, especially while he/she's in a "romantic" relationship?
