Despite overwhelming consensus for a cut, I am going to turn Beauty Mark into a disambiguation because of the 12k+ inbounds.

Personally, when I mean cut I just mean "get rid of it as a trope" primarily, and "redirect/disambig/redlink" is a secondary concerntongue

[up] Same, to me "cut" really just means "de trope it".

That’s what it means to me as well but I just wanted to make a distinction for clarity sake.

Anyways, I gutted Beauty Mark and turned it into a disambig. I also tagged the thread to the discussion page.

1400+ wicks to clean.

Okay, so, where are we putting “character has a mole that their love interest find an object of lust” because there’s one of those on Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!

In some indices, Beauty Mark have been described as facial moles that are considered attractive. I guess it could be an idea worth exploring if limited to in universe and if there were enough examples of it. But anyways, I would just delete anything that doesn’t fit any existing tropes/tropes listed in the disambig.

What about instances where the mole is tied to some astrological belief or culture?

I came across this in LightNovel.Ladies Versus Butlers:

  • Beauty Mark: Mimina has a heart-shaped one above her tailbone. Actually, this is what's called a "Mongolian spot", a mark common in Asia that often appears directly above the buttocks and almost always disappears by the time a kid turns six. Thus, this acts as additional evidence of Mimina's immaturity.

Is that Heart Symbol? I guess Cardiovascular Love just by being in a romance story's a stretch...

Unless only her lover can see it???

[up]Well, I changed it to Meaningful Appearance for now. Maybe it can be replaced if that draft get launched.

Down to 419. The fact that most of the wicks were "character has a mole" ZCEs meant most of them had to be deleted, but there were a couple that were salvageable as Meaningful Appearance examples.

Update: Down to 338. This thread might get closed soon due to how easy the cleanup is.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
