Mr Etaoin Shrdlu: "Is a Pettanko." My God, Adbot can edit pages now.
Jamaican Castle: On a related note, I can't be the only person to notice her preferred pronunciation is apparently "Tro-PAY-tan"...
Madacaek: I would like to mention that this is one of the worst articles on this entire site, and compared to much of the internet, I like anime. That is all.
Koveras: I wonder how many contributors did you plan on insulting by that one statement. %)
Mikado: WHAT IS THIS FAILURE?
Fast Eddie: Index markup will have to wait until the item descriptions are long enough to put the line below the image.
Adam850: Can't we put a [[<<]] next to the image to push down the index? Edit: Yes, just look at the Wiki Sandbox. I'll do that. It will look better.
T-Jack: Dunno when was this picture made, but she definitely needs a SPOON, KNI/FE and FORK.
Freezair For A Limited Time: May we tropers add our own Trope-tan fanart to this page? She's ALREADY been doodled in my notebook! Saying her name in Gratuitous Japanese, of course.
"TSUROPU-TAAAN!"
Tangent128: I doubt Fawriel would mind. If too many images get added, we'll want to turn most of them into links, of course, but I don't see that being a problem for the moment.
Fawriel: If my legalese was better, I would have added a line somewhere about how Trope-tan is open source and any troper is welcome to post their own pictures. Also: Squee! I'm so glad everyone seems to like her! Let me just add a few finishing touches and make a sharper scaled-down version!
Tyhm: I suck at uploady things, but what would she look like with one blue eye? Then she'd have Boat Lights AND Curtains Match the Window.
Adam850: Interesting. I approve! I'd suggest having a Crystal Dragon Jesus sidekick/pet/wise-creature-companion in there somehow (likely as a separate picture.)
Zephid: Y'know, I fully approve of this picture. I wonder about the yellow shoes though, probably because the rest of the explanation was so top-notch.
Scrounge: The purple thing on her belt is unaccounted for too, but I imagine it's a Plot Device. Also, you might want to fill in the quill with white; as it stands, it's transparent, which is distracting from a picture that's otherwise quite awesome.
Fawriel: The purple thing is... ... a GBA. To represent games. Fawriel Has No Sense Of Scale. It's better visible in the original version
◊, I guess. Also, I didn't make the scaled-down version, and I didn't upload it, either... how DO I upload stuff?
The yellow shows were designed after Sora's, to enhance the Rummage Sale Reject effect.
I had considered adding the Crystal Dragon Jesus as a sort of sidekick, but that was rejected by many in the forum. Instead, he should be used as a mentor figure in her backstory, which could be added as well. Something about Trope-tan's quest to collect all the pieces of a "fictional" universe that was destroyed by evil gray forces, because life is just too boring without this universe enriching life in the "real" one... you know!
Also, I played around with Boat Lights a bit. The traditional boat lights
◊, a green and blue variant
◊, and Curtains Match The Windows style
◊. After so much playing around with the eye colors, and one bit of fanart that already went with the boat lights and one that didn't, we might as well claim that they change colors. =P
Fast Eddie: I resized and uploaded the traditional boatlights image. To answere your question earlier, check out the Media Uploader on the Tools menu.
GG Crono: I just want to point out how utterly Made Of Win this is. :D
The Nerdy Ninja: I've got one coming of Trope-tan running away from some Naughty Tentacles.
Koveras: Please upload it somewhere and post the link to the Rule 34 section. :D
The Nerdy Ninja: I've got a different one ready now. How do I convert it to a wiki file from a photobucket file like the others are?
Koveras: Use the upload tool
. Also, keep in mind that TV Tropes cannot resize uploaded images, and scale yours down appropriately before the upload. ;) EDIT: Oh, and by the way, this is still a family site, so blur out the risky bits if you have any (this is Rule 34, after all...). -__-
The Nerdy Ninja: Added. It's not the Naughty Tentacles one, though. Also, I am utterly hopeless when it comes to art, so it's more for fun than anything else.
Krazeh Penguin: Are we going to do what The Other Wiki does with thier -tan? (Making images of it related to articles)
Fawriel: Are we?
Scrounge: I can't draw, but if I could, I'd contribute. ^_^; A FEW MINUTES LATER: That said, yeah, Trope-Tan needs some more drawings if she's gonna live. Freezair has one drawn already, someone make some puppy-dog eyes at her 'til she shares please. Also, she needs to be dressed up as something for Moe Anthropomorphism; my vote is for an Easter Island statue. Oh, and Freezair? (9).(9) Pretty please share the picture, pretty please? I know puppy dog eyes don;t work well in Ascii... But I tried at least. ^_^;
Freezair For A Limited Time: I have to redraw it. Comparing the two, I realized that my Trope-tan was a little... Off-Model.
OK, I doodled something in like 20 minutes. Voila—uploaded. Don't be expecting any masterpieces. Sorry she's not Animesque, but homie don't roll that way. To compensate, I made sure her BFQ Sticks to the Back.
Fawriel: Interesting style. Thanks for contributing!
OODavo: I just noticed that Trope-tan appears on the preview page for edits. This is good, but it's not enough. Trope-tan needs to appear to people who aren't editing, too. Perhaps a big picture (or a small one?) on the Home Page would be effective.
henke37: This desperatly needs to be expanded into a full blown rpg.
Koveras: Massive Multiplayer Crossover, that's what we need. Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Trope-tan vs. Wikipe-tan, who is gonna win that fight?
Fawriel: Pfft. Not even a challenge.
Servbot: Clearly, such a battle will lead to both sides realizing their mutual affection for each other, and will end in friendship and much Les Yay for the Shipping demographic.
Koveras: Squeeee! I demand Trope-tan/Wikipe-tan, Nanoha-style! :D
Frank75: This
◊ Azumanga Daioh fanwork reminded me of Trope-tan.
Tangent 128: Epic fanfic, Koveras.
Koveras: I am currently working on a sequel to Magical Girl Anthropomorphic Trope-tan and have trouble picking a title for it. I originally intended to name it Magical Girl Anthropomorphic Trope-tan B's but then I realized that in English, you'd probably read "B's" as "Bees" rather than "Bis", so I abandoned the idea... So I am now looking for some creative title that would be both an allusion to the second Nanoha season title and a suggestive pun on it.
Killby: Hmm...Gs maybe(Yes, that's how it will be spelled)? Incredibly vague to be sure, but good as any, really. If not, we can go with P's, but that's even worse.
Koveras: I eventually settled for "Bis", since it also means "again" or "a second time" in Gratuitous Latin.
Doug S Machina: Should she be wearing a crown[ing moment]?
Koveras: Only Magnificent Bastards are allowed to wear the Awesome Moment Crown all the time, and AFAIU Trope-tan is not one of them (yet?).
Vifetoile: I'm glad to see that my idea of a romance with Television Without Pity has met with... some approval... *ahem!*
You know how in pictures like The Emperors New Groove the hero will have a shoulder-angel and shoulder-devil? Maybe Trope-Tan's shoulder angel should be Sweet Wiki
◊, and her shoulder Devil be Darth Wiki
◊?
Killby: Tentatively added it. Working on art for the two as we speak.
Peteman: How does one submit Fanfiction? I have an idea...
Koveras: Just add it right under mine with a new header. ;)
Koveras: Awesome job, man! I laughed my ass off. :D
Peteman: Thanks. It was a lot of fun. In the conception stage, I had Wikipe-Tan and Trope-Tan switch roles, but then I realized it would work better to switch their roles and tweak it to maximize the absurd levels of character derailment going on. I'm hoping that the main body of my story (with the possible exception of the Alternate Character Interpretation, which could have Wikipe-Tan be painted as a Well-Intentioned Extremist) will serve as a role model for how not to write these characters.
Fawriel: Sonic Panther! Nice drawing! -big thumbs up!-
SonicPanther: Why, thank you! I felt like I had to whip up a little tribute to our lovely mascot :)
Chris X: I dunno if this is proper. But should there be a fan fiction regarding on how that terrorist hacker guy (Q) tried to hack TV Tropes so many times?
Fast Eddie: Nah. Attention is what they seek.
Koveras: I agree with Eddie. Don't give in to provocations, I say.
Koveras: Awesome fanart, Muninn! No offense to other artists intended (and the original author excluded, of course), but yours is the best fanart thus far IMO.
Muninn: Thanks, although I think I messed up on the shading a little. Maybe I'll go back and fix it later. On a moderately unrelated sidenote, is Trope-tan left handed?
Koveras: She is not left-handed. :D
TheNerdyNinja: There totally needs to be an Avatar of Trope-tan. Then we can boldly display her to the rest of the world.
Koveras: ...and it has to be chibi!
AstraKiseki: I tried via tektek to make a Gaia chibi of Trope-tan. I'm not sure if I did well.
◊
Koveras: You should put it into the fanart section. ;)
Cassy: Wow, you guys have way too much time on your hands this is cool! Maybe I'll make fanarts too but how can I post them?
Koveras: Just upload them and add them to the fanart section. :)
AstraKiseki: Problem: I don't know how to I'm too lazy to do it myself.
Zeke:
- Also, may or may not have a Slap-Slap-Kiss romance with that devilish yet sincere fellow known as Television Without Pity...
No. No no goddamn no. Nothing personal, Vifetoile, but that is absolute Dis Continuity fodder. Also: sincere?!
Doug S Machina:
- An Idiot Ball, for stupefying opponents.
- But carrying it means she often forgets what it's there for.
An actually good reason for someone to fall under the spell of the Idiot Ball! Nice one.
MFM: I'd just like to point out that her weapon is not a quill, it's a quail feather. I suppose, though, Big Frickin' Quill sounds better than Big Frickin' Quail Feather.
Dion Shmion: I was thinking of adding Trope-tan to the OS-tan Wiki
. Can someone with a account there help me out?
Koveras: Hm. What the hell is the point of a wiki that nobody from outside can edit? :-/
Andrusi: It's convenient to edit for the people who can. Particularly good for non-tech-savvy types, although I'm not sure what kind of non-tech-savvy types would find OS-tans interesting.
English Ivy: And now, Trope-tan is gambling with Wiki-tan and Uncyclo-tan. I apologize in advance.
CrystalSuicune: Here's
◊ a quick picture of Trope-Tan yesterday, with bad cel-shading and scaled for your viewing (dis)pleasure.
Fawriel: Crystal Suicune, that's adorable! =o You should add it to the main article.
Koveras: Seconded! It's the best Trope-tan art since Muninn's, if not since the original. Put it to the main article, please! ^^
CrystalSuicune: Thanks for the comment! *goes to add it to the main article
Johnny E: Thirded, best one on the page! If there's ever a vote for a new official Trope-tan...
PMiller1: Um... Hey, can someone please put My fan art of her
for me, Please?
Other Joey: Sure, can do. For next time, you can do it yourself, just click on "Tools" in the sidebar and then on "Image Uploader".
PMiller1: Hey, Me again, I just like to add this:
- She also have a fridge that somehow able to warp the reality itself, Not that is a Bad Thing, But it's brilliance.
And don't know if I should add it or not.
PMiller1: Mr Etaoin Shrdlu My Man, That was Funny, A Working Toilet out of Zeroes And Ones, Made Of Win.
Vifetoile: I have some art of Trope-Tan and her shoulder Angel and Devil that I would really like to post, but I'm not sure how to. Can someone help me? I'd much appreciate it.
Koveras: It's pretty easy, actually, you just go to the Image Uploader and upload your picture. After it's done, the Uploader will give you the wiki code you have to post on the page to make the image appear there. Be aware, however, that unlike MediaWiki, PmWiki cannot resize or rename pictures after they are uploaded, so you have to make sure yours has an appropriate size and filename before you upload it.
Vifetoile: Excellent! Thank you! I'll upload something in a day or two. :)
Midna I added a new piece of fanart, doubling as an educational exercise in how to write Trope-tan's name in Japanese. It got scaled down a lot, so here's the full-size version in case you're interested
◊.
Koveras: Now someone has to make a Caramell Dansen Vid starring Trope-tan and Wikipe-tan. ;D
The Weirdo: Been having some ideas for a TV Tropes-based VG character, maybe Tan herself: Moves like Large Ham (She calls the attack in a hammy way and throws a Large Ham on the opponent), Crazy Awesome (Dashes head-first at the opponent, hugs the opponent tight and shouts the name of the attack deafeningly at the poor sod's ear, then spits on his eye and jumps away), and, finally, the Super move, Crowning Moment Of Awesome - Jumps on the opponent, glowing, grabs him, jumps with him up, then down in a spiral course while beating him up every step of the way (at this point she shouts "Crowning..."), pins him to the ground (...moment...), rises and releases from her entire being a big burst of multi-color light that hits the entire screen (...OF AWESOME!!!"). Other moves can be worked in if the idea is accepted...
Maybe something for MUGEN?
Piearty: Hey, does anyone think Trope-Tan should have a blush sticker or something? To make her more Animesque, I mean. Also, I just added my Trope-Tan fanart.
