New here as of late December 2008. I'm
Gilgamesh
at Wikipedia, wikis and programming, and
Dermot Mac Flannchaidh at
FurAffinity and as a musician.
I've started many
TV Tropes articles, and contributed heavily to many others. I'd rather not maintain a list of all those I've worked on. XD
Tropes
- Always Camp: Though I'm gay, I'm not quite Camp Gay in that sense...more like Paulie from Circles, and almost certainly less camp than Taye.
- The Bear: Well, hairy gay man. People think I have the body type, but I'm not actively involved in the bear community in any specific way — no more than my involvement in the wider gay community as a whole.
- Broken Bird: Well, of sorts... I suppose it makes me in some ways more cynical while in other ways more sympathizing. You shouldn't ever lose your empathy, you know.
- Cannot Tell a Lie
- Captain Obvious
- Cloudcuckoolander
- Corner of Woe: I can make incorrect/mistaken edits. But if I say anything at all (outside a clear Deadpan Snarker context), I will be honest. I'm actually a terrible liar. If someone thinks I'm lying, I sulk in the Corner Of Woe. I try to remove my Berserk Button from its hinges altogether.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Fan Dumb: invoked Aheh...sometimes prone to this with Star Fox. I'm a snesser — I prefer Star Fox 1 and Star Fox 2 over the entire rest of the series. I've had a big Star Fox obsession since 1993, but I'm not fond of Star Fox 64 as a game...and yet I love what the franchise has done with Star Wolf since Assault and Brawl. But my "Old Timer" ways don't just clash with the egos of Krystal fans, but also with 64 fans as well. I do miss Papetoon...
- Fan Yay: But not always into Ho Yay Shipping by definition. Sometimes a gay character is just easier to relate to.
- Grey Eyes: Though because of the scarcity of grey eyes where I came from, people kept treating them as Blue Eyes. But upon examining photographs, the R/G/B color channels are almost the same, and the red channel is stronger than the blue channel.
- High Functioning Autism: I'm not Asperger Syndrome, but some of my family members are.
- Honor Before Reason: I hope in only the more noble ways.
- Man Child: Fwuffkins.
- Manly Gay: But I couldn't pass for Straight Gay if my life depended on it.
- Motor Mouth leading frequently to a Wall of Text (or, to some of my friends, a Wall of Blather).
- Neutral Good
- The Nicknamer: I'm always playing around with my friends' monikers.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
- Stuttering Into Eloquence/Like Is, Like, a Comma: Most apparent when I speak, though not quite as apparent when I write.
- Values Dissonance: Americans are weird. And really, that's okay, as long as we all respect each other and try to think outside the box as citizens of a great big diverse world. But there are going to be a lot of common American cultural assumptions that don't really make intuitive sense to me. And that's not just because I'm autistic (and already weird myself), but also because I grew up overseas in a very different environment.
