Describe
Essex here.
Right, right, no problem. A guy from some small-time place known as Whittier, CA. Don't ask where that is, use
Google Earth. 21, still doesn't drive, and a small-time business owner. It's not much (yet), but it pays the bills.
With my buddy, Fearow's Keeper (not a troper), currently working on a project tentatively called
Our Paradise, a series of
Light Novels set in a sort-of-kind-of
Medieval European Fantasy world. Would
really appreciate input from other tropers. :3
I have a knack for
Play By Post Games. If anybody has any recommends, just drop an email at director666@hotmail.com.
Also, I recently launched my first trope,
Sinister Silhouettes. Took a few months, but it was worth it.
As I am just too damn lazy to put down a list of my favorite tropes, I'll just insert one here once in awhile, starting with:
Same goes for favorite anime/things, so in the meantime, I'll start with maybe three...
Anime/things on my 'to watch/read/etc list':
I suffer from a very
odd case of
Hype Aversion. In particular, it doesn't matter how many times something is pimped on
TV Tropes. If it's generally good and garners my interest, I'll probably watch it when I have the time. Or if somebody suggests ONCE that I check it out.
However, if somebody I know discusses it with me more than once without me having see it yet, pimps it to me more than once, or outright acts like an
insufferably annoying Fan Boy /
Fangirl of it in my presence, then the chances of me checking it out have just gone from 90% to 0%.
I don't give a flying
frag if you think I'm going to like it, or how awesome you think it is. Hell, I don't give a flying frag how awesome
I'm going to think it is should I actually watch it.
I'm. Not. Touching. It.
Things that have been unfortunately (I say unfortunately, because I'm sure they're genuinely good) scarred by my particular case of
Hype Aversion:
*Gurren Lagann (repetitive pimping/discussion by multiple people I know. That somebody else I know blasts it after only seeing one episode makes it worse.) Overcome after my brother saw it on
Animax Asia, and I told him that if he was going to watch something this awesome, he should not let that blasted network screw over his experience. Since I was the one who got the DVD's, I had to watch with him.
- Evangelion (Somebody wasted over an hour of my time sharing his Epileptic Trees that Haruhi is a remake/intentional parallel of Eva, amongst other plants based on that tree. I don't care.)
- Rosario + Vampire (multiple discussions by multiple people I know when I happened to be there)
- Higurashi (same as above)
*Code Geass (Pimped once, then somebody else discussed it with me more than once) I can't even for the love of me remember why I touched this. Oh, right. I wanted to learn more about
Kallen.
*Death Note would have been the case, if I didn't look up L for myself and see how AWESOME he was. Now I just need to get off my keister and watch it. Finished, and, as with most people, hated the section of the series
following L's death.
Songs that have
burrowed into my brain like worms and compel me to play them over and over:
