Going back to my forum roots, I'm going to re-use the trend I started - the three characters that describe me are:
- Kasem Bun Ma
- Don Quixote
- Teddy Gates, kind of
I also run a troper Discord server, so just shoot me a DM if you want in!
(On that note, my Discord handle is parvapinna. Just a heads up.)
Descriptive trope-thingies
- Ambiguous Disorder: My mental state is... not the healthiest, to say the least. I know for sure that I am neurodivergent, having both Autism and ADHD, but I'm pretty sure there are other things I can't identify. Such as my intrusive thoughts and random upticks and crashes in mood and energy.
- Apologises a Lot / Extreme Doormat: Sometimes I just bend over backwards for the tribe way more times than I should, you know? Plus, I hate inconveniencing others.
- Asian and Nerdy
- Attention Deficit Creator Disorder / Ridiculous Procrastinator: I come up with works faster than I can work on them, and I get sidetracked almost all the time. ADHD and being a Ne dom does that to you.
- Big Brother Mentor / Cool Big Bro: Hopefully.
- Big, Screwed-Up Family
- Blind Without 'Em: My vision is bad.
- Camp Straight / Camp Gay: Enough said.
- Can't Hold His Liquor: I'm not kidding when I say a can of beer can get me drunk.
- This entry has been removed, and its writer has been sent to Horny Jail.
- Fetish: Not today, Satan.
- Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: I have broken things while trying to figure how they work way too often.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Averted. None of the traumas or tragedies I've experienced will ever break my spirit.
- The Dandy: I have drip now, guys. I swear.
- The Ditz
- Dork Knight: As goofy and awkward as I am, I do try to uphold a knightly ideal.
- Four-Temperament Ensemble: Melan/phleg. Evidently, I'm pretty chill.
- Geek Physiques: I admit, I'm pretty doughy.
- Gratuitous German: Ich kan't sprache German gut.
- I Hate Past Me: Look at my old troper page, ye Mighty, and despair.
- On a serious note, I try to have a more positive view of myself, be it past, present, or future.
- Out of everyone, I dislike people with no self-awareness.
- Insistent Terminology: For the last time, they're
◊ called prawns◊ (shrimp). Get it right.
- Keet: Play lead, baby.
- Loner-Turned-Friend: I definitely used to be more reclusive, and while I have my bouts of reclusion, I'm a lot better at making friends both online and IRL. My love of people definitely helps.
- Manchild: And proud of it until I found out just how annoying people who try to act immature can be. Nowadays I try to balance between childishness and maturity.
- Megane
- Missing Mom: My mom unfortunately passed away (or Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence, I'd like to think) recently.
- Motor Mouth: I have a tendency to run my mouth. I have practically zero filter.
- The Quiet One / Shrinking Violet: However, I tend to clam up in unfamiliar situations, due to being semi-verbal. I don't know which is worse, honestly.
- Nightmare Fetishist: I have a passing interest in the creepy and occult.
- It's pretty telling that I like to watch scary PSAs.
- Rail Enthusiast: Indonesian public transportation is an interest of mine.
- Rousseau Was Right / Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers! / Wide-Eyed Idealist: My life philosophy. I'm not naïve, but I have an unwavering belief in the good of man. For this reason I don't suffer misanthropes gladly.
- Took a Level in Idealism: I used to be an edgy Straw Nihilist and grew out of it in my mid-teens. It's why I think of cynicism as childish.
- The Short Guy with Glasses: I'm severely astigmatic and stands at a height of 5' 2" (157 cm). Am I this trope? Who knows.
- Sickly Neurotic Geek: Gets sick really easily, which isn't helped by my reckless behaviour.
- Ironic Allergy: Despite coming up with the prawn (shrimp) running gag, I am actually allergic to seafood.
- Single-Target Sexuality: Subverted. I may be demisexual, and I am rarely sexually attracted to people, but I have a million bajillion crushes.
- Those Two Guys: With Actual Beatrice.
- Tiny Schoolboy
- Too Dumb to Live: A minor example - I'm lactose intolerant, but love dairy products such as hot chocolate and ice cream. In a similar vein, I start itching when I come into contact with oregano, yet I still love cooking with it.
- Averted with my oat intolerance. It's not worth it.
- Trademark Favourite Food: Anything strong-tasting, such as pickles. Also gyoza.
- Younger Than They Look / Older Than They Look: A lot of people mistake me for a high schooler ever since I was in primary school. Now that I'm adult-aged, I don't know what to feel about this.
Author thumbprint-thingies
Like a lot of people, I have a good number of Creator Thumbprints. Expect them to pop up in my works.
- Historical settings. Only a few of my works don't occur in the past. That said, my favourite eras are:
- The Gay '90s and The Edwardian Era. (I rarely write steampunk, however.)
- The Roaring '20s and The '30s, mostly due to Genteel Interbellum Setting.
- The '50s, in the aesthetic sense. Atom Punk is a genre I can get behind.
- The '80s, The '90s and Turn of the Millennium.
- Tangentially, all of my works are set either in America, Britain, Indonesia or fictional countries and settings. There's no other option.
- Related to the above, there has to at least be one Asian or half-Asian character.
- Puns, particularly Meaningful Names of the punny variant.
- No Antagonist, White and Gray Morality, Black-and-Gray Morality and Gray-and-Grey Morality.
- Plenty of topics Played for Laughs, with significantly less Played for Drama and little to no horror. I don't romance and horror good.
- Weirdness Magnet and Cosmic Plaything main characters.
- Dark Is Not Evil. I just love making creepy/intimidating-looking characters that act totally friendly and wholesome.
- A good number of characters being under the LGBT umbrella or mentally ill.
- Most Writers Are Writers / Most Writers Are Human / Most Writers Are Adults.
- On that note, a disproportionate amount of male characters. I'm going to fix this too, I swear.
- While we're at it, here are character designs that appeal the most to me.
- Awesome Anachronistic Apparel, especially on immortal characters or those with extended lifespans
- Burly, hairy men
- Cute girls and guys
- Fluffy hair
- Gorgeous Period Dress
- Sharp-Dressed Man
- Zettai Ryouiki
Special interests over the years
- Flowers: (???) - 2004. That was what made me start talking, I shit you not.
- Bananas in Pyjamas: 2004 - 2006. The live-action version will always be superior.
- The Magic School Bus: 2006 - 2008. Actually, science shows in general, but I was particularly obsessed with this series.
- Franco-Belgian Comics, especially Tintin: 2008-2011. My whole fixation on them made me get into comic writing and art.
- Hugo: 2011-2012. I liked it so much I made a whole-ass work ripping it off. Martin Scorsese, I am so sorry.
- Nikola Tesla: 2011-2014. Thanks a lot for deifying him, Matthew Inman!
- Sherlock: 2012-2013. Those were dark times.

- Noel:
- Sher:
- The Breener:
- Hon. Gwen:
- Teddy:
- Edmond:
- ’Even an organization like the Masked Fools sing praises of their Aeon. The Aeon will never give you up, never let you down, or abandon you. He will never make you cry, say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you.’
