Hello, my troper name is Waxing Name (it's a reference to the Waxing phase of the moon and the term "full name"). I refuse to give my real name. My gender is male.
I try to contribute as much as I can to many of the shows and video games that I like. These include the Mario series, the Sonic series, Avatar The Last Airbender, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and Codename Kids Next Door just to name a few.
I've started to get into certain works because of this very wiki. These include Monkey Island, Final Fantasy, and some Disney Animated Canon stuff.
I like to use potholes to make abbreviations for video games. For example, I pothole Final Fantasy VII as FFVII, or, in context, VII.
Through this site I've learned to not complain about works you dont watch/play, and so I will not give any commentary on any show I've neither seen nor read or researched about.
On the forum, you may notice that I like to ask a lot of questions. Some of these questions are because I don't really know the answer. Other questions are because I just like to see people respond to them.
One quirk of my forum posts is that I tend to write the way I would talk in conversation. So if you see a word in italics, it would be the word I would emphasize in real life.
I personally curate The History Of Video Games, as I am the one who launched most of those pages in the first place.
Tropes which I have launched (may have lost count of them)
- Faceship
- Evil Is Burning Hot
- Made of Good
- God of Good
- Chaos Is Evil
- Breakthrough Hit - my Magnum Opus in terms of recognition.
- Leader Wannabe

- The History Of Video Games and most of its sub-pages - also my Magnum Opus on this wiki in terms of scale.
