History Tropers / Gilgameshkun

(4 August 2013) After a year and a half away from this site, I have been seriously considering returning, perhaps in a modest capacity. I ''still'' don't necessarily understand all the subtle cultural peculiarities of this wiki's [[FamilyFriendly content suitability policy]]. But I think that if I tread lightly, I won't step on so many toes. I've always preferred good faith interactions anyway. That said, I have not yet made a decision.

(4 August 2013) After a year and a half away from this site, I have been seriously considering returning, perhaps in a modest capacity. I ''still'' don't necessarily understand all the subtle peculiarities of this wiki's "FamilyFriendly" policy and am still very much the internationalist with very little intuition for many kinds of regional ValuesDissonance (including American attitudes) that influence the policies of this site. But I think that if I tread lightly, I won't step on so many toes. I've always preferred good faith interactions anyway, whether people intuit each other's values or not. That said, I have not yet made a decision.

I've started many TVTropes articles, and contributed heavily to many others. I'd rather not maintain a list of all those I've worked on. XD

! Tropes
* AlwaysCamp: Though I'm gay, I'm not quite ''CampGay'' in that sense...more like Paulie from ''{{Circles}}'', and almost certainly less camp than Taye.
* TheBear: Well, hairy gay man. People think I have the body type, but I'm not actively involved in the bear community in any specific way -- no more than my involvement in the wider gay community as a whole.
* BrokenBird: Well, of sorts... I suppose it makes me in some ways more cynical while in other ways more sympathizing. You shouldn't ever lose your empathy, you know.
* CannotTellALie
* CaptainObvious
* CloudCuckooLander
* CornerOfWoe: [[NotSoOmniscientAfterAll I can make incorrect/mistaken edits]]. But if I say anything at all (outside a clear DeadpanSnarker context), I will be honest. [[CannotTellALie I'm actually a terrible liar.]] If someone thinks I'm lying, I sulk in the Corner Of Woe. I try to remove my BerserkButton from its hinges altogether.
* DeadpanSnarker
* FanDumb: [[invoked]] Aheh...''sometimes'' prone to this with ''StarFox''. I'm a [[FanNickname snesser]] -- I prefer ''StarFox1'' and ''StarFox2'' over the entire rest of the series. I've had a big ''StarFox'' obsession since 1993, but I'm not fond of ''StarFox64'' as a game...and yet I love what the franchise has done with Star Wolf since ''[[StarFoxAssault Assault]]'' and ''[[SuperSmashBros Brawl]]''. But my "Old Timer" ways don't just clash with the egos of [[BaseBreaker Krystal]] fans, but also with ''64'' fans as well. I do miss Papetoon...
* FanYay: But not always into HoYay {{Shipping}} by definition. Sometimes a gay character is just [[AudienceSurrogate easier to relate to]].
* GreyEyes: Though because of the scarcity of grey eyes where I came from, [[CreatorProvincialism people kept treating them]] as BlueEyes. But upon examining photographs, [[ViewersAreGeniuses the R/G/B color channels are almost the same, and the red channel is stronger than the blue channel]].
* UsefulNotes/HighFunctioningAutism: I'm not UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome, but some of my family members are.
* HonorBeforeReason: I hope in only the more noble ways.
* ManChild: Fwuffkins.
* ManlyGay: But I [[PassFail couldn't pass]] for StraightGay if my life depended on it.
* MotorMouth leading frequently to a WallOfText (or, to some of my friends, a WallOfBlather).
* NeutralGood
* TheNicknamer: I'm always playing around with my friends' monikers.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness
* StutteringIntoEloquence[=/=]LikeIsLikeAComma: Most apparent when I speak, though not ''quite'' as apparent when I write.
* ValuesDissonance: [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates Americans]] are ''weird''. And really, that's okay, as long as we all respect each other and try to think outside the box as citizens of a great big diverse world. But there are going to be a lot of common American cultural assumptions that don't really make intuitive sense to me. And that's not just because I'm autistic (and already weird myself), but also because I grew up overseas in a very different environment.
