NOTE: This user page is out of date, and since I'm too lazy to sort it out right now I'm just gonna leave it for the time being and note that any viewpoints, opinions or whatever expressed below are not necessarily ones I currently agree with.
What? Someone's actually reading my page? Holy shit.
Anyway...
I'm Lordnecronus, and this is my
ego-stroking exercise user page. I'm a
Welsh troper, and I'm apparently known around these parts for my significant interest in
Heavy Metal, though I'm also interested in movies, video games, and other forms of music.

Live Action TV
- Star Trek - All of the various shows except for Enterprise; I like Deep Space Nine the most.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Angel
- Doctor Who
- Red Dwarf
- Supernatural
- South Park, though I strongly dislike its tendencies to turn into a right-wing libertarian Author Tract.

Self-appointed trope list:
- Berserk Button — Genre wars, nihilists (specifically the pretentious ones), people who think metal is just noise, people who confuse their opinion for fact, bigotry, lots of other miniscule things.
- Brilliant, but Lazy — I'm so lazy that I stayed in bed on the day of my exams, missed them, failed school, and ended up in a homeless shelter that serves incredibly bland soup for every meal. But I'm still, like, brilliant and stuff.
- Character Development - I went from being a whiny bitch to being a lot more laid-back.
- Deadpan Snarker — Because everyone identifies as a Deadpan Snarker.
- Everything's Cuter with Kittens — And how!
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel — Apparently, my first avatar, Smile Dog (the picture on this page, without the text).
- Hypocrite — Like any good internet citizen, I find humour in people taking things too seriously despite frequently doing such myself.
- There was also the time when I supported the removal of Brokencyde from the horrible music page while having written the page for crunkcore (their genre) to be overly negative. And I reverted the edits that made the crunkcore page more neutral.
- Informed Attribute - Anything I say about myself, including the idea that my attributes are informed.
- Literal-Minded
- The McCoy
- Old Shame — The Crunkcore page, which was also the first page I started on TV Tropes.
- Sad Clown
- Self-Deprecation — Frequently. Too frequently.
- Small Name, Big Ego — I'm fully aware of this, though.
- The Stoic
