Yep, I drew that. But in real life, I'm a bit tubbier.

Oh, hai, troper. My name is Garrison, also known as tvtropesruinedmylife22. I'm currently a high school student. I got into TV Tropes a couple years ago, and I was instantly hooked. Creating a wiki to detail everything about tropes in media? Given the way I am, how could I not be interested? Anyway, I intend on going to college and graduate with a degree in architecture. I also hope to be involved in the film industry at some point because I am a massive film geek. I am agnostic, but I don't have anything against any religion (as long as you're not in my face about it). Before I list tropes about me, I will tell you of the various pieces of media that I am a fan of. So here it is:

And now, without further adieu, to list the tropes of ME!
This dude shows examples of the following:
- Acceptable Targets: PLENTY, including (but not limited to):
- Adorkable: Although this word sounds pretty silly, I guess it does describe me. I quote a lot of movies and TV shows in my conversations with people, and my attempts to make small talk come off as a little awkward (especially with girls). I'm willing to admit that.
- All Adult Animation is South Park: Why does the animation industry keep falling for this trope? Adult cartoons can be funny without being incredibly vulgar at the same time (Futurama, Bojack Horseman and King of the Hill, for example).
- All Just a Dream: Pretty much everyone I know hates this trope with a burning passion.
- Asperger's Syndrome: I'm on the spectrum, but I have a very mild form of it. Still, I have some Aspie tendencies, such as talking to myself sometimes.
- Badass Baritone: My voice just keeps getting deeper, I swear...
- Berserk Button: Oh, where to begin...
- Egotistical people being egotistical.
- Stupid people being stupid.
- When some meme is used as a joke well after said meme became passe.
- False jumpscares in recent horror films
- The Progressive lady, Flo. Let's be honest, she's worn out her welcome years ago.
- Whenever a school shooting happens in America and no one gives a crap after two days, only for another school shooting to happen. Repeat.
- Donald Trump. Hoo, boy, do I not like him. I'm not looking forward to his presidency.
- People who hail Frozen as the greatest animated film ever made. It bothers me more than it should, though.
- People who use "autistic" and "gay" as an insult.
- Big Eater: Though I always was a bit tubby, I'm glad I have a fast metabolism, otherwise I couldn't eat chips and drink soda almost every day!
- Bisexual: I'm about a 1 on the bisexuality scale.
- Blatant Lies: I'm not a good liar. Most of the time...
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Yes, I'm willing to admit this.
- Cannot Tell a Joke: I go in and out of this. My jokes are either incredibly funny or incredibly lame, if my friends and family are anything to go by.
- Catchphrase: Here's a couple.
- Because, why not?
- That's not creepy.
- Sure. Let's go with that.
- OH COME ON!
- Celeb Crush: Rachel Maddow (yes, I know she's a lesbian, but I like her a lot!), Morena Baccarin, Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, genius that he is (my girlfriend likes him too).
- Covert Pervert: What?! *scoffs* No way!
- Deadpan Snarker: Yeah. As if you didn't see this trope coming.
- Double Standard: I hate these.
- Fanboy: Of a lot of things, particularly Batman.
- Geeky Turn-On: I'm what's known as a sapiophile, which means I'm turned on by intelligence. That's how I got in a relationship with my girlfriend, who is very smart. And, as you can imagine, I find that very sexy!
- Man of a Thousand Voices: Well, not to brag, but I can do a hell of a lot of decent impressions. I can do:
- Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, and Glenn Quagmire.
- Eric Cartman, Mr. Mackey, Satan, Gerald Brofloski, and Stephen Stotch.
- Patrick Star, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Squidward.
- Discord.
- Hank Hill.
- Heath Ledger's version of The Joker.
- On the president front, I can do Richard Nixon, George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.
- Cell (in all his forms) and Kid Buu.
- Jon Bailey's trailer voice.
- Has a Type: If you're nerdy and a real sweetheart, you're alright in my book. ❤️
- The Movie Buff: And how. Full-on cinephile here!
- Nerds are Sexy: Oh, God, yes. If you're a girl as well as a nerd, you pretty much have my heart. My girlfriend is a straight A student, loves video games and movies, and she's a lead editor of my school's yearbook...uh...e-excuse me a minute, I-I, uh, gotta take care of something. I'll, uh, be right back...
- ...Alright, I'm back. Let's continue, shall we?
- Nice Guy: I try to be this. To give you an example of what I'm talking about, on the morning after the 2016 election, I went up to every Trump supporter I knew and congratulated them.
- Nice Guys Finish Last: Grrr....how I hate this trope.
- Old Shame: I was a bit of a jerkass in my elementary and middle school days, but now I try to be a nice guy to everyone! Though, on my worst days, I'm a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Whether or not you believe it, my girlfriend thinks I'm this. Her words, not mine.
- They Just Didn't Care: I feel this way about Johnny Test, Teen Titans Go!, the last few seasons of The Big Bang Theory, and so many terrible movies. Click here for said terrible films.
- What Does She See in Him?: What does my girlfriend see in me?
