(I'm not sure where this really belongs, so I'm putting it in YF for now. Mods, feel free to move it to Forum Games if you think it fits better there.)

The point of this thread is to list your favorite tropers and say what makes you like them so much. Please be specific; we already have Gushing About Shows You Like if you want to gush about TV Tropes or the Forums in general.

EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

According to my friends (and my mom, for that matter), I've been hit on a few times and not even realized it, so I'd certainly say it's possible that you have been hit on—you just haven't noticed it.

I love you for saying that Galeros.

I'm definitely Kousaka without the knack for attracting women.

I am most like Madarame.grin

I don't know why people would hit on me. I don't wear makeup or anything. Mostly they're creepy older guys, who are just rude.

Hehehe. I really identified with him. His attitude and how he approaches what he likes are similar to how I am. His friends reaction to him saying he was looking for a job is also the reaction my friends would probably have,

The Prez was weird, but in a cool way.

@Meaty: I'm not quite sure I could be called attractive in any way, shape, or form. I may be biased against myself, but... Yeah..

May have to do with my introversion. And being a lesbian whom other lesbians would never be attracted to...

Well, not that much older. Well, I don't know, maybe 5 years older. Still creepy. And by rude, I mean they're definitely not chivalrous.

@Lucky: thanks, too bad I still don't believe it

Now, Miiji, you'll need to cite your sources or otherwise provide evidence to support that claim.

Edit: @BLAMy: I agree with Lucky. (Is it a little creepy for me to say that to someone 2/3 my age? Maybe. Is it a lie? No.)

Seconding "Meaty is cute" here. As for hitting on people, my idea of hitting on someone is, well, pretty innocent (like "arm around the shoulders and peck on the cheek" innocent). Or is that flirting? I'm not sure.

Either way, I know being affectionate to others makes me happier, so...

I can't, though.

@Black Moon: He is a Magnificent Bastard in my opinion. I wonder whatever happened to him though? He was definitely the oddest character. It almost seemed like he should not be in a Slice of Life series.

There is a very clear division between complimenting and flirting with me. Compliments are things like "Made of Meat is a cute lady", and flirting is more like "Aon, meet me back in that secluded hallway in about five minutes".

Being a literally invisible person can be darkly fun. I can wear an interesting hat or weird asymmetrical eyeliner like I did for Halloween, and no one cares.

Mine's going to be a short list ('cause I'm completely exhausted) but I'll likely expand it later. So...

Jethro - For being so very pretty and awesome and Finnish.

Bobby G - My impression is he has a sort of innocence/idealism (which combined with that accent) makes me fairly certain I'd be smitten if he weren't a straight fellow.

Meaty - For sharing a lot of my hobbies ('cept the doll one and painting in menstrual blood for obvious reasons) which is rather rare to come across IRL.

  • Haven is really cool and certainly deserves his position as Main Character. I always feel bad about his Real Life stuff because I can't help.
  • Obvious Solstace is obvious. He has cool ideas that I can help to flesh out and is much more creative than me. He's dedicated to what he wants to be dedicated to.
  • Made Of Meat is super-creative and interesting. Every time I feel like I maybe understand her I'm proven wrong. An enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a six-foot-tall No Gender alien being.
  • Blackmoon, as has been said, pulls of Lovable Sex Maniac perfectly. And has good stories.
  • Outta The BLAM is much more skilled than she gives herself credit for.
  • AFGNCAAP is really cool. I can't imagine why she thinks I'm The Hero or something she should be more like because I'd rather be more like her. She's so articulate!
  • Galeros is De Terminator!
  • Lucky Revenant is definitely somebody that I would like to be friends with in Real Life. He seems reliable and compassionate.
  • Zephid and C Trombley are hyperintelligent.
  • Fawriel does that cuteness thing pretty well without being annoying, and is an excellent artist.
  • Bobby G is a good person with high moral standards, without seeming coldly logical or anything.
  • melloncollie is apparently my enemy. That's good; adversarial relationships are more fun.
  • Katrika is really nice and does that silly "OMG what" reaction. Don't know how to say it. And she decided to have a long PM conversation with me when she joined for some reason!
  • Zyxzy is level-headed, seems to make it a point to respond to all of the forgotten posts in fast-moving threads, and provides a view a lot different from mine without being infuriating.
  • Lull The Conqueror is sorta himself. I dunno. He's funny.
  • Fast Janitor for site maintenance and being Supa Cool.
  • Korgmeister can tell me things about computers without making my head spin.
  • Kris Mahai is my not-feeling-empathy buddy, or something! grin
  • Broken Chaos did that user history thing and is a techie who I don't understand. Yay!
  • Spaghetti Cat III is notable for being completely unnotable, quite an achievement.
  • Elmer36919 seems to live in Awesomeopolis, Awesomeland.
  • El The Daze picked up Listening to 11.975 MHz independently of me. High five, sir and/or ma'am!
  • Kinkajou is really really smart while still being a teenager. I eagerly await the day when he outgrows his Self-Deprecation.
  • Meta Four: she is pretty intelligent, and entomology is the best science or close to it. tongue
  • Sneeb pulls off Deadpan Snarker by being genuinely funny, instead of just an asshole.
  • Aondeug, how could I forget you?! You're a really cool girl, and melloncollie's disciple, meaning that at some point, presumably, I'll get to argue with you! This is a good thing. Very good.
  • catch_the_sun, besides being very nice and intelligent in general, is an awesome ninja.
  • Hilarity Ensues is quite cynical but not in a bad way, and has my eternal gratitude. He also makes me wonder why you think I'm funny. That made me fall over laughing.

Rolling Updates possibly >_>

Oh! And Alkthash! I haven't interacted with you too much, and you have a reputation for not having a reputation, but you were cool in that derails thread.
