"I'm currently planning to use the new 'Quest editor' - or whatever it was called - in ''[[DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy]]'' to create some {{fan fic}}s in playable form"... but I noticed that everything after that sentence was just getting [[WallOfText too long]], even considering I'm on "my" page now[[hottip:*: that is, one on which some standard Tv Tropes rules don't apply, such as PleaseNoNatter and YMMV tropes not being allowed, just to name two]], so this section of the page has evolved into my very first TroperWorks page ever, which you can find '''[[{{DarthWiki/AlexSora89sDissidia012FinalFantasyOriginalQuests}} here]]'''.

Also, I saved un-launched YKTTW drafts of mine, "potentially risque edits" (nothing NSFW, though) on '''[[SandBox/AlexSora89 the Alex Sora 89 Sandbox page,]]''' where this kind of things is supposed to be shown as in a museum of sorts: the edits are displayed there, in a frozen state, for everyone to see. [[FridgeLogic Provided you feel the need to see something hidden in a different namespace to begin with, anyway.]]

* @/{{Telcontar}}: Good morning/afternoon/evening/youshouldbeinbed! I noticed that in a recent IP thread, you described yourself as the "resident annoying troper". Jes' so's ye ken, you're not; you do a lot of good stuff on the wiki and it's fun to have you around in the forums. :D

*** @/BlakeDiamond: My WMG was the "Travel to all 5 regions and battle everyone" one. I forgot to mention that there would be an expanded Badge holder for the Trainer Card, and ribbons for beating each League, the Sevii Islands, and Mt. Silver. Would make it more interesting, showing who your team was in each League. But alas, all my effort is for naught. [[AngstWhatAngst Oh well!!!]] ^_^

* TvTropesDrinkingGame: while '''I don't drink any alcoholic beverages,''' there's one for ''you''. Step 1: look for any article where I added an image. [[SelfDeprecation Step 2: see if my image was replaced.]] Step 3: ''drink''. Here are some good starting points: {{HighOctaneNightmareFuel/Metroid}}, {{MindScrew/VideoGames}}, AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome, DangerouslyGenreSavvy, BambiMeetsGodzilla, BrutalBonusLevel, WalkingTheEarth. Sorry, [[DontExplainTheJoke but my images get changed all the time,]] so I can't quite keep track of all of them.

** @/AlexSora89: No need to thank me. I don't quite recall exactly which one it was, but if your theory was the one I'm thinking of, then ''duh'', no wonder I bowed down to it. That theory is ''[[SincerityMode made of awesome.]]''

* {{Tropers/BlakeDiamond}}: [[{{Borderlands}} Heyoo!]] Thank you for "humbly bowing down" before my [[WildMassGuessing WMG]] for [[WMG/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2 Black 2/White 2]]. That took me a while to put together, and I had to fight a couple people to keep it pure. It's unfortunate that it wont happen, but I appreciate the support ^_^

** @/AlexSora89: Oh, hey! Sorry if I moved your quote from here to [[Quotes/AlexSora89 the quotes tab]], but it started to take an awful lot of space here. Anyway, yeah. Just look at the Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread linked above and see for yourself. Anyway, I still have to give you my sincerest congratulation for your post on the forum when we were struggling to save the StockPhrases: it takes balls to post a comment like that. Lately [[ExamplesAreNotRecent (early 2012, that is)]] I've started dealing with some of the site's most controversial changes like we tropers are supposed to, and I must say it isn't as bad as I'd have imagined it. I hope you feel more or less the same, because I do my best to be as nice as I can towards tropers and mods alike.

{{Tropers/FairyRed}}: Hey there~ 8D Dropping a random hello on your page! You've done a lot of great work, haven't you?

However, following a brief suspension of my account in April 2012, and after finding out about TheSecondGoogleIncident, I realised some of the site's changes actually are for the best, like the perma-redlink for NaughtyTentacles. While my inner, formerly {{natter}}-loving self sees this as a FaceHeelTurn, most of the tropers' community is likely to think it's actually a HeelFaceTurn instead. That's why you'll find instances of [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=NightmareFuel.DonkeyKongCountry&more=t me actually REMOVING natter,]] as you can see in [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13356185020A27903600 the Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread.]] (Just in case you're curious, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13356185020A27903600&page=21#521 this]] is my current track record.)

G'd evening, gentlemen and ladies. This is Alex/Sora 89, the Italian troper who brought you, among other things, [[{{It/CarburantePerIncubi}} the Italian page for]] NightmareFuel, the various page-images that now decorate some of the pages (including panels from the [[CrackFic 34th issue]] of WhatIf) and even ''created'' some of the articles (see: {{Powerless}} and BulletPoints). Oh, and those quotes by Italian comedian Omar Fantini about TheEighties? My doing! [[hottip:*: Actually my opening quote for RoseOfVersailles got deleted, but maybe it's better that way - Omar Fantini's book about the eighties properly [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs]] anything from that decade by giving it a humorous impact on today's society. [[GIJoe And now you know]]!]] My most recent work, as of this edit, is the article for the just-announced ''TheatrhythmFinalFantasy'': feel free to help with it!

I've been anonymously lurking the site since, on that fateful day, [[TheOtherWiki Wikipedia]] brought me here through an external link. After [[NonstandardGameOver the first page]] of this website I browsed... [[WikiWalk well,]] [[TheTetrisEffect you know...]] [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife nothing has ever been the same anymore]].[[hottip:*: "the first page I browsed linking to "Nonstandard Game Over" ''doesn't mean'' the fact I'm now addicted to the site represents a [[NonstandardGameOver NGO]] for my life, but that it was ''really'' the first page I browsed: [[TheOtherWiki Wikipedia]] [[NotableReferencesToTvTropes introduced me]] [[TvTropesInOtherWikis to the site]] as an external link when I was reading their "BadEnding" article. You know the rest: [[{{Irony}} I browse TvTropes a lot more than Wikipedia now.]]]]

I've now become a (self-appointed) member of the SocietyToPreventOverlyOriginalNames, or [[FunWithAcronyms SPOON]] for short, the key word being ''[[{{Understatement}} "overly"]]'' in terms of [[NonindicativeName nonindicative trope names.]] [[hottip:Here's why.: Simply put, "AllTheMyriadWays" (which, when I found it on a work's article, forced me to browse my way to the laconic entry to find out it was about how AnyoneCanDieInOtherUniverses!) was where I decided that ''[[SamuelLJackson ENOUGH IS ENOUGH]]'' (in fact I created quite a bunch of useful redirects for that trope) in terms of [[{{Understatement}} nonindicative]] trope names and that, combined with a statement by a member of {{FORKS}} (for those curious, it was, [[{{DarthWiki/WallBanger}} "That's what the f***ing articles are for"]]), convinced me to join this group instead. Also convinced that [[PeopleLettingAllTropeTitlesExistRelishably Most Trope Titles Should Exist Relishably]], but only if those titles are ''both'' original (read: they have a TropeNamer in a certain work) and '''''clear.''''']]

* EntryPimp: more like ''Entry Pimp Disorder''. [[ItsWhatIDo I'm only human after all...]][[hottip:*: [[SincerityMode Note that this does not justify my behavior on this wiki in any way.]]]]

!!Welcome to Troper Talk! It's like a chalkboard where you can write - by editing - whatever the hell you want, and maybe I might even answer.[[hottip:*: Just remember that, if you're going for harsh criticism, '''[[{{JustBugsMe/AlexSora89}} this]]''' is the right page.]] Give it a try!

*** AlexSora89: I'm gradually learning this lesson. Especially today, given the oh-so-by-surprise announcement that a certain demo for a certain software got delayed for a week. [[{{Understatement}} I've quite had a field day with that.]] [[hottip:*: For those curious, it's ''[[DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy]]'', and as you can see in [[http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/03/16/heads-up-game-store-update-16th-march-2011/ these]] [[https://member.eu.square-enix.com/en/blogs/dissidia-duodecim-prologus-final-fantasy-coming-soon-psn links]], I - thankfully - haven't been the only one pissed off.]]

** [[GratuitousItalian Oh, un altro troper italiano! Non ci speravo più nemmeno io, così tanto che sarei io a dover dire "finalmente"! Sai, scrivere tutta quella pagina è stata una faticaccia, ma ne è valsa la pena.]][[hottip:*: [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything For those curious,]] [[GenreSavvy because I know you are:]] "Huh, another Italian troper! I wasn't hoping for it anymore either, so much that I should be the one to say "finally"! You know, writing [[NightmareFuel that whole page]] was tremendously tiresome, but it was WorthIt."]] Uh, sorry for my gratuitous Italian. Anyway, I've been writing some stuff in Italian language in this wiki (including the aforementioned Italian page for NightmareFuel[[hottip:*: that I originally titled with a [[{{Woolseyism}} pragmatic]] "Carbura Incubi", by the way]]), but I've also done the same thing in reverse: I've written stuff about obscure things from Italy such as GinoTheChicken and, one evening when I was horribly bored, even about the infamous BattyAndGay porn comic book. If you know it, you can read the article and have a chuckle, provided you're not laughing already. Given the presence of articles about politicians (BarackObama just to name one), I'm planning to write an article for Silvio Berlusconi but, given how controversial the figure is, [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment it might actually be tricky to pull off.]] And ever since I discovered I'm good at writing [[HaikuWiki haiku]] (something I could never have suspected myself to be capable of), [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife Tv Tropes]] [[BeyondTheImpossible has become even more of a drug for me.]] [[SkywardScream I've gotta go to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!]] Anyway, seriously, it's been nice seeing there are other actual Italian tropers around here, so... catch ya around!

--> ''[[WhatTheHellHero "Man, what is with this site trying to be "respectable" or "formal" or whatever the hell "we're" going for?!]] [[{{Emoticon}} D8]]; First we rename [[JustBugsMe Just-Bugs-Me]] to [[{{Headscratchers}} the stupidest name in existence]]; we lose the "strike-through" tag because of supposed abuse; FetishFuel is taken to it's own wiki because people who can't handle other people's odd fetishes were stupid enough to browse the Fetish Fuel page; TroperTales is getting changed too. And now, we must get rid of StockPhrases because they're a cliche? ._. Why not get rid of ALL cliche tropes while we're at it then? Next thing you know, WildMassGuessing is axed because of "too many silly answers not enough SERIOUS RESPECTABLE" guesses. Seriously, we don't need to axe, rename, retool, or whatever to Stock Phrases. D8 They're fine as they are! Can't we leave things as they are, for at least longer than a month? I surely want and need Stock Phrases."''

** That last one got sidetracked as I started giving the same treatment to the DCUniverse and the AmalgamUniverse as well. Shout Outs are present even there:

*** TheJoker has the same pose as [[FinalFantasyVI Kefka Palazzo]] in his ''DissidiaFInalFantasy'' official artwork.

Given that, for me, now school's out ''for real'', I think it's time for me to look for a job - despite my dream is to start my own webcomic and make a living out of it (à la [[QuestionableContent Jeph Jacques]]/PennyArcade), since [[{{Otaku}} the-stuff-you-are-likely-to-find-at-comic-cons]] has been my passion since my very birth and I've drawn stuff since I was a 4th-grader.

As you might have noticed at the top of this page, I've recently created a [[JustBugsMe Just-Bugs-Me]] article for ''this very page'' meant for those who feel annoyed by my hatred towards most of this site's "updates", as listed in [[{{DarthWiki/RuinedForever}} this article.]] If you want to defend them, you need to look no further than [[{{JustBugsMe/AlexSora89}} the article I just made.]]

* SerialTweaker: I just don't like to have to click on the "preview" button.

* YouAreGrounded: [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed.]] Once, during the 2006-2007 school year, my grades were pretty low. So, despite I got grounded every now and then before, my mom came out with the ultimate punishment: forbidding me to access any consoles, regardless of my grades going up, ''until the end of that year'', and threatening '''[[BeyondTheImpossible to sell them if I happened to be failed.]]''' Too bad this resulted only in further {{dismotivation}} and, when I - inevitably - had to repeat that school year, IGotBetter thanks to [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt my consoles not being sold]] and to not getting grounded again (the 2007-2008 year was just about as difficult as the previous one, the big difference was that I wasn't grounded). This was enough to make my mother realise [[NeverMyFault (but not admit)]] she made a mistake, and as a result I never got grounded again. She was almost about to be at it again for the last year, so I got around the problem by stopping showing my parents any grades of mine '''[[ComesGreatResponsibility and]]''' by choosing to carry the rest of that year on my own shoulders.
