I thought we had this thread already but apparently not.

For me it is, Disproportionate Restitution.

Climax

The pessimist sees a dark tunnel, the optimist sees a light, the realist sees two lights and the engineer sees three idiots.

Maybe. I guess I can say something about not bringing new tropes that are on the front page.

Not very recently, but, despite having lurked for about ten years and change before I joined, I didn't notice the YMMV item Critical Backlash until around 2022 despite it having launched in 2009. Even then, I initially thought it was about work getting bad reviews, rather than than about people not finding a work to be as horrible as it's made out to be (despite the page saying right at the start that the "trope" is the opposite of Hype Backlash).

I only knew of Not Afraid to Die from Buggy's character page a few days ago. I think it's neat as a trope, and it also fits me personally (or, at least, I hope to be at such a state when I die).

Found out that toys themselves have tropes.

Oh, neat, I was actually looking for a thread like this a while ago. At the time the trope that I was thinking of was Inbred and Evil, mostly because (at the risk of sounding egotistical) it interested me how a work I'd once worked on averted the unfortunate implications the description keeps wanting to criticize. But there was actually another trope just yesterday that I was surprised to discover we had in a good way. I'm trying to remember what it was.

I just found Misfit Labrat from doing my daily random trope dives for "Trope of the Day". I never seen it linked anywhere but it's apparently (probably because it has 36 wicks) an old article.

Third-Person Flashback and Villain Antagonist fully passed me by.

Exhaustion-Induced Idiocy.

Kinda glad I found it, because it's something that happens to me a lot.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

Maybe not that they existed but I found out Stuffed In A Fridge is not Fridge Logic nor has nothing to do with other "fridge" tropes.

Like Father, Unlike Son. A common trope that is surprisingly rarely added to work pages, which is why I was surprised to find it does in fact exist on the site.

I Have Brothers. That one's so obvious that I'm shocked it didn't occur to me ages ago.

Emergent Human. Feels like it dovetails near-perfectly with Humanity Ensues and is present in a lot of media I enjoy, but it's just flown under the radar in general.

I don't actually have any Bumblebee icons, I just think the nickname is funny.

Gratuitous Mariachi Band. I mean definitely an extremely funny trope, I just didn't know it had a name.

Power Misidentification which is surprising because I was blown away when it happened in BoBoiBoy in the Season 2 finale (just made the example for it yesterday).
