* DividedWeFall: This was the general political situation on the Balkans in the context of the rise of the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria was no exception.
** Tzar Ioan Alexander is a prime example. First, when the Byzantine Emperor John V Palaiologos had to pass through Hungary to form an alliance with the House of Savoy for a crusade against the Ottomans to prevent them from gaining foothold in Europe, Ioan Alexander captured him on the way back out of fear that the alliance would attack Bulgaria. This ended up a self-fulfilling prophecy when Amadeo of Savoy attacked Bulgaria to free John, diverting the crusade. Amadeo also bribed the boyar ruling the Bulgarian sea coast, Dobrotitza, with titles, and the latter seceded. Meanwhile, Ioan Alexander also remarried and gave the right of succession to the son from his second marriage (Ioan Shishman), disinheriting the remaining son (Ioan Sratzimir) from his old one and giving him the Western part of the country as a consolation prize. Bulgaria was torn in three between Shishman, Sratzimir and Dobrotitza and fell quickly to the Ottomans, especially when the two half-brothers waged a civil war.

* AHouseDivided: After the death of Tzar Ioan Asen II whose diplomatic, military and political skills had had elevated Bulgaria to a Balkan hegemon, his wives and descendants descended into a SuccessionCrisis which destabilized the empire for the next two centuries until its eventual fall.

* DressingAsTheEnemy: An infamous example. When escaping Byzantine captivity, Tzar Boris II and his brother Roman had [[DressingAsTheEnemy disguisedthemselves as]] [[BorderPatrol Byzantine guards]]. The BorderCrossing ended badly when ''Bulgarian'' guards took the bait and really mistook them for Byzantines, killing Boris before Roman could clarify anything. Roman himself survived, but he had been castrated, so the entire male line of the dynasty died with him.

to:

* TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: Literally. In 1014, Basil II, Emperor of Byzantium, captured 15,000 troops of Tzar Samuil's army, blinded them, chained them and sent them back to Samuil, leaving 1 in every 100 men with one eye to lead the way.

Roman himself survived, but he had been castrated, so the entire male line of the dynasty died with him.



* TheGoodKing: Peter I (927-971) is remembered as this, having secured a 40-year peace with all neighbors. His excessive donations to the church, however, resulted in the spreading of a new heresy, Bogomilism, and he failed to fix the economy that was exhausted by the wars his father Simeon waged.
* HeroicBSOD[=/=]HeroicRROD: Records of Tzars dying from heart attacks upon receiving ill news aren't uncommon:
** Simeon I after he was informed of his defeat by the Croatians.
** Peter I when the Kievan Rus army took several tens of his fortresses in a swift invasion.
** Samuil when he saw his blinded army arrive in the capital.



* SiblingTeam: Asen, Peter IV and Ioannitza (Kaloyan) who acted together to re-establish the Bulgarian empire and keep its independence in the face of both pressure from Byzantium and the Crusades. Their cousins and nephews, however, were the exact opposite: three of them (Ivanko, Alexius Slav and Strez) seceded and one of them (Boril) usurped Kaloyan.

** Nogai, a Mongol chieftain distantly related to Genghis Khan, tried to install his son Chaka as Tzar of Bulgaria. Chaka's Bulgarian ally, Theodor Svetoslav, used the opportunity to seize the capital, then betrayed Chaka and sent his head to Nogai's enemy to secure peace with the Golden Horde.

* TheMaidenNameDebate: The Second Empire was infamous for this. Once all male lines of the ruling dynasty of Asen died out, various other rulers started seeking marriage to Asen women (daughters and granddaughters of the last Asen Tzar to have any progeny) so they could attach the Asen name to themselves and legitimize their claim on the throne.

to:

* BalkanizeMe: The Second Empire. The Northwestern province, centered around the city of Vidin, had several seceding rulers, some of them foreign princes. Even after its ruler Michael III Shishman took the throne of the main kingdom centered at Tarnovo, his brother Belaur still tried to secede. When Michael's nephew, Ioan Alexander, inherited the throne, he had to out Belaur, only to split the Vidin province again and give it to his son Ioan Sratsimir while his other heir, Ioan Shishman, got the main part. Around that time, a despot named Dobrotitsa also seceded the eastern part of the country.

!! Troping [[UsefulNotes/{{Bulgaria}} my country]]
Tropes about my country, Bulgaria, mostly historical trivia.

I've found out that history is a lot more fun in trope form. However, apparently troping real life too much is against the wiki's rules, and I'm a terrible procrastinator who never finishes things, so I'll just make a list here on my user page and update it whenever I come up with something.

Not sure if this is a good idea, but here's a list of tropes for my fanfics (to be updated together with the fics themselves, mainly as a list for myself):

!!Tropes in ''WesternAnimation/TronUprising'' fan fiction [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9696876/1/TRON-Revolution TRON: Revolution]]:

* AssholeVictim: Paige's unusual nonchalant reaction to getting four of Pavel's {{Mook}}s killed comes from her knowledge that all of them are handpicked for their ruthlessness.
* CallARabbitASmeerp[=/=]HoldYourHipogriffs: I use those rather heavily, replacing normal words with computer terms, especially for slurs (glitch = bitch, malware = lowlife, shareware = whore, etc.)
* ContinuationFic: Since Disney all but cancelled ''Uprising''.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Paige finally switches sides. Not really a spoiler.
* FlashbackEcho: [[spoiler: Beck has a glitch as an effect from the time he lost his identity when he stands at the exact place it happened. It gives Paige the final confirmation that it's him behind the mask.]]
* ReformedButRejected: Paige [[GenreSavvy is afraid this will happen to her]]. She's right.
