Here, you give a trope, and the next troper makes up an example wholesale from a media work they made up on the spot.
Both prompts and responses should follow relevant wiki rules — exactly one trope per prompt/no tropeslashing, Playing With only applies to tropes (not Trivia or YMMV), and responses need to make sense without having seen the work (because the work doesn't exist), and so forth.
For example:
Tiny Tyrannical Girl
In LightNovel.The Huge Universe Ruled By A Tiny Girl, the Big Bad of the movie is Alice, a dwarf woman who can make everyone submit to her by threatening their life.
I'll give an example:
"The J9 Unit is one to 80's and 90's science fiction and Cyberpunk of the era."

Carnivore Confusion
- Audrey Sandford during an interview: I wanted to have the Musara's skytroops ride raptors because that's certainly appealing, but if I had any other bird of prey as their mount, many readers would keep wondering and ask me what's keeping them from eating the mice and annoy me to no end. But vultures only eat dead things, so for all their ghastly reputation they don't have that issue.

In Animal Life, an anime focusing on animals in the forest, there are both predators and prey animals as sympathetic characters. This leads to awkwardness, as the show goes out of its way to avoid showing the predators hunting or eating.

Robert from Rob And Dyanne has this as a Running Gag. However, it soon takes a dark turn near the end of the season, where he tries to mass-consume beer in order to cope with the loss of his job, but fails.
Item Crafting
Being a Wide-Open Sandbox / Survival Sandbox game, Survivlia is rife with this. The most basing crafting station the player can construct is aptly named a Crafting Bench. However, the game introduces far more advanced crafting stations as the player progresses in their world, including the Architect's Desk, the Alchemy Station, the Esoteric Stabilizer, and (most powerful of all) the Almighty Survivlian Forger.

The Strangeness Club has Touko and Lana, two of the students in Eunice's classes in high school. When they make their first appearances, the two are both fourteen and are currently taking several AP classesnote and are able to speak or at least understand several languagesnote . Touko and Lana are known to be Japanese- and Indian-American, respectively, thus also making them examples of Asian and Nerdy.
- Additionally, as the cast ages throughout the visual novel, their intellect similarly increases. Lana is stated to be "fluent enough to hold a conversation" in Mandarin by the time she's 16, and Touko is known to be able to solve complex equations that stumped some adults in the main cast at the age of 17.
- Subverted midway through the novel, where both Touko and Lana are 20 years old by Part 11, meaning that they are no longer teenagers. They are still smart though.

One episode of Jonas Corbins Guide To Life reveals that the gang's Big Brother Mentor Mark Seaver never took Health as a freshman and is forced to take it during his final semester at Foxwood High. At one point, the class has to watch a film about substance abuse featuring anthropomorphic cigarette and alcohol mascots. Said film would probably be considered childish by elementary-school students, let alone the teenagers it's shown to.

Comic Book/Monkey Business: Besar is one of the members of the Wukongers, a large male Orangutan who acts as the team's muscle but even by the rest of the Sims' Amplified Animal Aptitude is very intelligent - even more then some of the humans in the setting.
- Sanjay is a rare Medical student case but very much applies, and is pretty much a teenage Expy of Gregory House with his assumption of always being right and rude to others. It's heavily implied a lot of his contemptuous personality is to do with Sanjay's father putting so much pressure on him and forcing the career on him when he wanted to become a folklorist it created a huge amount of resentment within. Fortunately, he gets better, especially when he has to wok with patients and co-workers who aren't going to take his attitudes lightly.
- Dr. Van Helsing themself has a stern take-no-prisoners attitude. Considering they work with literal monsters, their attitude is understandable. That said, they are kind to those who treat him well.

Conquest: The hordes of Atilla the Hun, thanks to the game not being afraid to use Anachronism Stew, have access to remote-control drones that they can use to spy on their enemies, mobile phones with which they can live-stream their battles, and internet access with which they start flame wars with the Romans. Despite their advanced technology, they're still Barbarian Hordes, and follow a Rape, Pillage, and Burn lifestyle to the max.

Exactly. As a reminder to new players, per Playing with a Trope, "If it's Not a Trope (YMMV, Trivia), it can't be played with, it either happens straight or not at all. The only exceptions are In-Universe examples of an Invoked Trope."
