Contrary to certain proverbs, the best defense is not a good offense. The best defense is 250 km of fortified trenches inhabited by 1.9 million angry Russians, 5,128 tanks, and 25,013 other guns.
Welcome, troper! Make yourself at home in this humble user page. It may not contain much of interest, though.
Personal matters: 17, American, originally
Russian. 5'9, which is fairly short for a guy, although built like a wall. Nonpracticing Jew. A writer, a romantic and a realist simultaneously (which is a terrible dichotomy, my friend).
I have a massive love for
Bittersweet Ending. Becuase I'm
SAAAADIIIISTIIIIC!
Made one article,
The Dogs Of War. Good book, read it.
Self-applicable tropes.
- Acrofatic
- Altum Videtur- studied Latin. Volo vinum portare, aquam porto. Eheu.
- Boisterous Bruiser- varies. I can be quiet and dead serious (most of the time).
- Brilliant, but Lazy- If I stop procrastinating, wonderful things happen. Alas, such times are rare.
- Catchphrase- Any one-word or non-indicative response. Highlights include 'Indeed', 'Indubitably', and 'Mu. Unask the question'.
- Deadpan Snarker- yep.
- Eagleland- Honestly, I'm a proponent of type one, having come from a far less pleasant spot.
- Husky Russkie- without a doubt.
- Jews Love to Argue-take it from me, I do.
- Insufferable Genius- I can be if I try.
- Precision F-Strike-In impolite company.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness-in writing and in person.
- Shrinking Violet- I was quite shy in my youth.
- Stout Strength- and don't let the bulging gut fool you.
- The Nicknamer
- The Stoic- Generally not very emotionally active.
- Verbal Tic- I pronounces Latin-derived words the Latin way. Also, not verbal, but I put noses on my smilies, and punctuate them. <:^D.
- Yiddish as a Second Language-just a bit.
List of tropers I admire (continuously expanded):
- Blackmoon is a mensch. A master of the sword and fancy coat.
- Cygan Angel is a master of critique and world building.
- Dae Brayk, for being a skilled author, artist, and critic.
- Kraken, for being generally cool and a respectable gent.
- Leradny, a good organizer and writer for our forum threads.
- Midnight Velvet, whose user page is a sterling example of doing it right.
- Mr AHR, who can always brighten my day with her wacky antics.
- QQQQQ, an excellent writer who makes characters that are the opposite of mine, and does it well; it's always nice to have competition.
- Senator Awesome Pants rocks the crazy awesome like no other.
- Tuefel Hunden IV is a man who does his military research.
Stuff I like:
Notable fact: I never cry at any
Tear Jerker (yes, I can read the full page and not be moved at all.) There are two exceptions- Schindler's
Heroic BSOD (and his funeral), and the band scene in Titanic. That is, after I have seen them and the unexpectedness goes away.
Am currently writing a novel. Prospective title is
Dei et Machinae (
Est Machina). It's semi-realistic science fiction. I will also critique writing if you have it.
Preferred nickname would be Morg or Mor. Not
Morgy (But calling me that won't really make much happen save me shaking my head in annoyance.
Note to self: Here are my favorite symbols to use: 1. Autumn. 2. Soft lights and colors. 3. Dead wheat. 4. Old bloodstains.
Comments or vandalism very welcome. I woulSPAIN SUN INTERRUPTS YOUR PAGEd like to see your opinions of me (or tropes, being synonymous in this place.) Bonus points for foreign language.
- Why bonjour there Morgy! Comment ca-va? (How are you?) — greetings from QQQQQ
- Es solum utroque. Unus magister Latinam linguam mihi quadrienneio docebam. However I must say that my Latin is a bit rusty from lack of use. -_- — Eldritch
- I do believe I understood a bit of that, yay.
- Who's to say a romantic can't be a realist? I've been one for years now. :P - Keybreak
- Don't ruin my shiny moment of dichotomy.
- ~Huggles Morgulion~ CyganAngel
- Bah, my writing in the drabbles thread, at least hardly deserves recognition as good! But thank you for having such a positive opinion. -Leradny
- Ја видим твог Арагаста и шаљем Елифасу налог да га изда (I see your Araghast and give Eliphas the order to betray him). Adeptus Alpharius
- You know, I got a bit of that in the original language. Now, I could raise an Abaddon, but I don't think that little sot deserves it. So instead I raise you CREEEEEEEED, nemesis of the Alpha Legion.
- So you are familiar with the cyrillic alphabet? I see...while Creed will totally screw over the Chaos Lord Bale I have stationed, I eat my potato chips and watch how everything is going just according to keikaku. Tactical genius hurrrr!
- I'm Russian, so I have some inkling of what transpires. Lessee... I'll go for Temperus Maximus.
FUUUUU-◊
- Then I shouldn't be surprised if you got some chunks of Serbian. An angry opponent such as the Angry Marines require a special flavor. After reading a certain Chinese doorstopper I'm sending the one and only Lü Bu.
- Merci beaucoup pour le vandalisme Morgulion, je le apprécie, pareil que j'apprécie ton reponse au ma signature. Ben s'il te plais, consider une de ces faveur rendre. Avec du engouement.*
It's been so long since I've written in French.
- AwayLaughing
- Thank god I take Latin, or I'd never understand any of that. Now tvtropes is teaching me languages, too.
- Well you didn't say I had to provide a translation...and besides. Challenges are good for you. Non?
- I'd like to vandalize in Serbian, but I don't know the language. Sigh. - Amused Troper Guy
- You are forgiven, praise the Emperor.
- One Ring to rule them all, one Ring to find them... -desdendelle
- Also: טבעת אחת לשלוט בכולן, טבעת אחת למצאן -desdendelle
