I’ve loyally lurked here for years before finally summoning the courage to make an account! I found this website in 2012 looking for StarKitsProphcy, when I was a preteen. Now I'm an undergraduate, so TV Tropes has been my go-to website for a significant part of my life. I like animals (especially birds, prehistoric life, felines, and mythical beasts), Speculative Biology, Bishōnen and Biseinen and cross-referencing their seiyuu, Xenofiction, and Pokémon.
Tropes That Apply to Me
- Absent-Minded Professor
- Ambiguously Bi: I'm not even sure myself.
- Asperger Syndrome: Like a lot of people here, I’ve observed.
- Author Appeal: Most of my fanfic ideas tend to be {{Transplanted|Character|Fic}}s of the non-human Alternate Universe variety, with Xenofiction and Humanity's Wake elements.
- Berserk Button: Common ones aside, Vic Mignogna and pronouncing "nuclear" as "nucular." Whenever I hear this, I want to Ghiacchio out.
- Brainy Brunette
- Butt-Monkey: A lot of the below-mentioned inside jokes are at my expense...
- Eagleland: Let’s just say I’m disappointed in my country.
- Flyover Country: My hometown. There's nothing too bad about it, but it's rather boring.
- Fountain of Memes: I started a lot of the inside jokes I have with my friends.
- Furry Fandom: I like the art and fursuits, but I can’t decide on a fursona. Interestingly, the middle of the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism, where most furry art is, is the least interesting to me due to oversaturation; I prefer either Little Bit Beastly or Civilized Animal / Partially Civilized Animal characters.
- Has a Type: Buff anime dudes with unusual hair or eye colors, and/or fangs or sharp teeth for men, ActionGirls or Amazonian Beauties with either dark skin or Raven Hair, Ivory Skin for women.
- GuiltyPleasures: Slash Fic, Free! (although mostly because it's Best Known for the Fanservice), Rio, Uma Musume Pretty Derby, Kemono Friends, claw machine and coin dozer videos, and occasionally those Xenofiction-fantasy books aimed at tweens (e.g. Foxcraft and Wings of Fire); they’re fun adventures with cute characters, and very nostalgic for someone who grew up on Warrior Cats and Guardians of Ga'Hoole.
- Hikikomori: Borderline. Social anxiety is fun.
- Occidental Otaku: Big time,
- Perverse Sexual Lust: Prone to this.
- Performance Anxiety / Stage Fright
- Pet-Peeve Trope:
- Strangled by the Red String
- Cure Your Gays
- Ecchi, the Harem Genre, and Male Gaze in general
- Dumb Dinos in media that should know better
- There Is Another if it's done in such a way that renders the drama of a character being Last of His Kind pointless (e.g. Rio 2)
- Lolicon and Shotacon, especially when it comes out of nowhere with no warning
- Feather Fingers in certain cases, such as when the character is otherwise not very cartoony or anthropomorphic. Teba giving Link a thumbs-up while in flight made me scream internally.
- Seldom-Seen Species: Many of my ideas for anthropomorphic OCs and fursonas, such as a Tiktaalik, a Homotherium, a Lycaenops, a hoatzin, and a blue glaucus sea slug with Cartoon Creature traits. I'm a big fan of this trope in general, especially in a Furry Fandom oversaturated with dogs, wolves, foxes, and indistinguishable hybrids thereof.
- Smart People Wear Glasses
- Soapbox Sadie: I’m sometimes accused of being this.
- Terrible Artist
- Womanchild: By my own admission.
- Yaoi Fangirl: I have a complicated relationship with this. I enjoy consensual Slash Fic and Fan Art, but do I enjoy the predatory tropes and poor art and ridiculous dialogue plaguing “actual” yaoi, or do I Squee over actual gay people like they’re a couple from such works? Not one bit.
