How I Describe Myself

Adorkable: When I try to talk to someone in Real Life (especially to a guy I like), I end up stuttering and acting shy and nervous.
Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Subverted. Though I may come off as this in Real Life, I'm actually painfully shy.
Annoying Laugh: Sometimes.
Berserk Button: Lots, like:
- Do not, under any circumstances, insult people for what they like or dislike.
- Insult my friends and family and you will pay.
- I'll get mildly annoyed if you don't understand when I'm being sarcastic.
- Also, don't interrupt me while I'm talking.
Big Eater: A woman that likes to eat a lot?! Oh, the horror! Justified in that I have a very high metabolism.
Blind Without 'Em: Downplayed. Though I wear glasses, I'm nearsighted at worst without them.
British Teeth: I have these, even though I'm not British.
Broken Pedestal: JK Rowling outing herself as a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) really soured my love of the Harry Potter series. Sucks as it was part of my childhood.
Brutal Honesty: Oftentimes, I will not sugarcoat what I'm feeling at the moment.
But Not Too Black: Am biracial, but don't "act black" (whatever that means).
Celeb Crush: Come on, who hasn't had one? My current one is on Matthew Mercer. God, his voice is sexy! *blushes* Plus it helps that he seems like a Nice Guy in Real Life.
Covert Pervert: Let's just say I've "fantasized" about my PerverseSexualLusts and I make some dick jokes from time to time.
Country Matters: Averted; "cunt" is actually one of the few curse words I will not use.
Curtains Match the Windows: My hair and eyes are both dark brown.
Cute Clumsy Girl: "Cute" is debatable, but I am a klutz.
Daddy's Girl: My strongest relationship is with my dad.
Deadpan Snarker: Oh yeah! The only time where I'm not sarcastic is when I'm asleep.
Does Not Like Shoes: I have a tendency to not wear shoes around the house. Yes, even in winter.
Eating The Eyecandy: If there is eye candy of an attractive (usually male) character, I will ogle it. Good thing I don't lick the screen, right?
Even the Girls Want Her: My obsession with Rosalina can come across as this.
Everybody Has Standards: I may curse up a storm, but even I won't use words like "fag", "faggot" or any racist and/or other homophobic terms.
Exhausted Eye Bags: It's a consequence of being a night owl.
Fangirl: I'm a downplayed version of this.
Fanon Discontinuity: Three examples:
- Much like Bruno, we don't talk about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
- Even though I'm not a fan of the game, I prefer to think the Paper Mario series ended with Super Paper Mario.
- The less said about Metroid: Other M, the better.
Friend to All Children: I have a soft spot for children and am very protective of my nieces and nephew.
Gamer Girl: Been one since I was about 8 years old. It was my title, even!
Gender-Blender Name: My actual name it's Taylor can be used for both genders.
Genre Savvy: I avoid certain things on the Internet because I'm very aware of how...heated things can get.
Gratuitous German: Kinda justified in that I studied German for two years in high school. Also, I have German ancestry.
Guy In Real Life: Averted. If there's one thing I never lie about on the Internet, it's my gender.
Grammar Nazi: Because I want to be an author and my major in college was English, I have reasons for being one.
Guilty Pleasure: Because of its Love It or Hate It status, I consider Moulin Rouge! to be this.
Heroes Want Redheads: One of my first crushes was on a red haired boy.
Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Though it depends on what song I'm singing.
Hypocritical Humor: Despite hating the True Art Is Angsty trope, my stories I'm working on have dark themes in it.
I Am Not Pretty: I have this annoying habit of insisting I'm not cute or pretty. Might have something to do with my insecurity.
If It's You, It's Okay: What my sexuality seems to be right now.
Innocently Insensitive: I can unintentionally say some things that may hurt others. I'm trying to get rid of this habit, though.
Irony: My birthday is in the summer, yet it's my least favorite season.
Just Here for Godzilla: Take a wild guess as to why I got Mario Party 10.
Large Ham: I can be rather overdramatic at times.
Leitmotif: Though it depends on my mood, I think of Snowman from Mother as my "main theme".
Meaningful Name: In a hilarious coincidence, Gwen is a Welsh name, meaning "white, fair, blessed" and I'm half-white.
Messy Hair: Mostly when it's curly, but it can get this way when it's straight.
Mistaken Nationality: More of a case of Mistaken Ethnicity, but due to my Ambiguously Brown nature, it has happened to me a few times.
Nerds Are Virgins: -sighs- I know. I'm trying to avert this.
Non-Indicative Title: Am neither a princess (duh!) nor is my actual name Gwen. Though I made it up and chose it because I thought it sounded cool.
Nostalgia Goggles: Averted. Though my childhood in the late 90's and early 00's was good, I do NOT hold it on a pedestal like some others do.
Not a Morning Person: Definitely not.
Older Than They Look: Am in my late 20's (currently), but you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at me. It's a touchy subject for me.
Perverse Sexual Lust: Yep, got a few. Most notable ones are Iron Man, Spider-Man, X and Zero, Link, Chrom, Levi and Leon S. Kennedy. Starting to see a pattern with the last three?
Prim and Proper Bun: If I don't have time for a ponytail, I will often put my hair up like this.
Quirky Curls: Before I started relaxing my hair, I had these as a kid and I was REALLY quirky.
Rule of Three: My favorite number is 3.
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: I can slip into this when I'm talking, but it's more from anxiety rather than trying to sound smart.
Sir Swears-a-Lot: Nowadays, I have NO brain-to-mouth filter.
Stepford Smiler: On the Internet? I'm a Genki Girl and very nice. In Real Life? I have some SERIOUS self-esteem issues.
Stupid Sexy Flanders: Besides Rosalina, I have this going on with Samus and Zelda. C'mon, you can't blame me for it!
Sweet Tooth: Keep me away from the sweets, especially the chocolate because I will try to get to it.
Tomboyish Ponytail: Mostly in the summer, but yes.
Tomboy with a Girly Streak: The girly part being that I do my hair, paint my nails, don't mind wearing dresses and talk about boys. Oh and fawning over cute things, like bunnies.
Tranquil Fury: When I'm really angry about something, I try to keep calm, cause I see no point in completely blowing up on someone.
True Blue Femininity: Most of the stuff I own has blue on it. It probably helps that my (second) favorite color is blue.
Vocal Dissonance: My voice is deeper than you'd expect from a woman in her late 20s.
Waxing Lyrical: I tend to start singing when someone says a certain word or phrase.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Oh God, spiders are fucking scary! Also, medical needles.
Yandere: Though I am NOT one at all, I have a tendency to write my male characters like this. I don't know why, though.

Author Appeals

Though I haven't published anything yet, here's some things I like to put in my stories.

Deadpan Snarkers.
Biracial characters: Considering that I'm biracial myself, this isn't surprising.
Men with blue eyes: I guess you could say it's a fetish of mine.
The colors yellow, blue, green, purple, and black.
Nice Guys: I'm sick and tired of male Love Interests in novels (especially romances) being abusive jackasses or unintentional stalkers, so I tend to write mine acting like this.
Yanderes: Only as villains, though I do have a story where the Villain Protagonist acts like this towards the main hero.

Favorite Tropes

Adorkable: Almost any character that's like this, I will melt over, cause they're so cute!
Deadpan Snarker: Are you surprised that I like this trope?
Large Ham: Characters that are like this are entertaining to watch!
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: I wish to find a man that will treat me kindly.

Least Favorite Tropes

Critical Research Failure.: How am I supposed to take something seriously if you can't be bothered to do research?
Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch: If you haven't seen/read/played etc. something, don't bother criticizing it.
Fan Hater: Why should I hate someone for liking something that I don't?
Hype Backlash: Just because something gets a lot of attention, does not automatically mean it's good or bad.
Rouge Angles of Satin: For God's sake, "it's" means it is, while "its" means possession. Get it right!
True Art Is Angsty: As you can tell, I am not a fan of this one. Not every piece of fiction needs to be gritty and depressing.
Yandere: I have a love-hate relationship with this one. One the one hand, they can be AWESOME villains if done right. But on the other hand, if a Yandere is meant to be sympathetic, it just doesn't work for me due to being scared of their actions.
Any of the Strawman tropes, because they come off as Anvilicious.
Any of the Double Standard tropes, as I believe in equality for everybody and no group should be given a higher moral ground than another.
