And because I didn't get to meet anyone new until I was 12, I had 2 years of [[KidsAreCruel being ostracised for]] [[DisproportionateRetribution not being social for the previous 6]].

* ObliviousToLove: Depressingly ''more than once''.
* OddCouple: A few; again.
* OddFriendship: Had a few.

* ReclusiveArtist
* RecordProducer: 95% of the music I've made has been self-produced with limited help.
* [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl Reluctant Fanservice Guy]]: I find it uncomfortable to be considered attractive. That being said; I will willingly exploit [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shameless Fanservice Guy]] on stage.
* RuleOfThree
* {{Sampling}}: Did a lot of this when I first started making my own music (aged around 10). Stopped when I was about 13 when I discovered it was illegal to release (luckily I never did publicly release any of it) and I now only sample in the form of PublicDomainSoundtrack.

* ShockingSwerve: My life has had a few. We will not discuss them here.

* TheUnfavorite
* UnusualEuphemism: Likes making them up, both for fun and for GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
* VerbalTic: A few. The word "basically" (much to my friends' chagrin). Whilst my voice was breaking (it still is; but not to the same extent) it used to fluctuate in pitch to ''ridiculous'' levels, producing many a CrowningMomentOfFunny.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: See Bishonen above. Sometimes accentuated for effect in my works.
* WaistcoatOfStyle
* WeirdnessMagnet
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: I travel a lot, thanks to my parents' work and a personal interest; and have been to a fair number of countries across the world. I seem to pick up traces of the accent and diction. As a result my ''natural speaking voice'' often gets this reaction.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Dependent on your definition of wholesome; but I've done drag parts in school productions and in my own works.
** I also am 2 inches too small for most mens' jeans, so find women's jeans fit better.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears
* TheWonka
* WritersBlock: Always seem to get it when I don't want it. Also the title of a song I recorded.

----
!!Tropes that apply to things I've done:
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: I do this sometimes to force rhymes in my music. Also a character trait for at least one of mine.
* ActionGirl: For some reason almost every story I've ever written features one as the protagonist.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Part of my SignatureStyle.
* AgeInappropriateArt: A LOT.
* AlternativeHipHop: The sort of music I make. Emphasis on the "alternative".
* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Big time. Though I do usually get back to most of these ideas eventually.
* AuthorAvatar: Usually write at least one in everything I do.
* {{Autotune}}: Largely because I have a singing voice which is both very weak and very limited.
* BlackComedy
* BrainsAndBondage: Used sometimes in writing to wax poetic about pain and the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic symbolism thereof]]. I also penned a spoof ObligatoryBondageSong called "Heat" as an AnswerSong to {{Rihanna}}'s "S&M".
** Also RefrainFromAssuming, as a few years later I wrote a completely unrelated song about [[StarvingArtist suffering for your art]] entitled "S&M".
* BriefAccentImitation: Has used American, French, German, Russian, Australian and Italian accents for drama.
* CallBack
* CarefulWithThatAxe: In music.
* ChekhovsGun
* ChekhovsGunman
* {{Corpsing}}
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: Pulled a literal example off once in an English short story assignment.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: My first full project was a rap mixtape I did with a friend (we called ourselves "New France"). It consisted mostly of freestyles; and I took it seriously. My friend didn't.

* {{Fanservice}}
* FantasyKitchenSink

* GirlOnGirlIsHot: In my writing.
* GratuitousPanning
* {{Grimmification}}
* GuyOnGuyIsHot: In my writing and in one of my Media videos.
* HamAndCheese: If it's something that's a lot of fun but absolutely inane. And Oh God my portrayal of [[TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Frank N Furter]].
* HetIsEw: Again, Author Appeal.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter
* MovieMakingMess: Happened with one of my short-films. Still turned out good though for 2 months work done in 10 days.
* MindScrew: A lot of my stuff ends up at least a little bit like this.
* PublicDomainCharacter
* PublicDomainSoundtrack
* PurpleProse: I often write this; even though [[CreatorBacklash I can't stand this style of writing]]. This caused one notable incident in Year 10 when I wrote something my English teacher considered fantastic, but I felt wasn't any good because of its' nature as PurpleProse; hence ended up very embarrassed when everyone else thought it was good and tried to tell me that it was.
* QueerPeopleAreFunny
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Deliberately averted. There's always some manner of improv in everything that I do.
* ReferenceOverdosed: Frequently.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Being a British schoolboy; this is enforced in most of the things I've produced at school (exceptions are school productions).
* SciFiKitchenSink
* ShockingSwerve: A few of my English works do this, often as an extended reference or ShoutOut (like my WholePlotReference to ''Literature/OutOfTheDark'' that [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife I had to explain to my English teacher]]).
* ShoutOut: In my works, shout-outs come to literally anything and everything - more often than not things I like. If I mention you; take it as a compliment.
* SteamPunk: Author Appeal.
* StupidStatementDanceMix: Made a few in my time.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: Balance both at once, but I would say I'm a much stronger technician than performer.
* [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Took The Bad Play Seriously]]: We all knew it was awful; but I decided to play my part completely straight for RuleOfFunny.
* {{Transvestite}}: Played one for a Drama piece.
* {{Troperiffic}}
* UncannyValley
* UncannyValleyMakeup: My 40-minute Media music film.
* VocalEvolution: [[JustifiedTrope Thanks to my voice breaking]]; I've been forced to experiment with different styles; so my voice and singing style on stuff I did aged 11 sounds different to stuff I'm doing now, unsurprisingly.
* WhichMe: One of my Media videos, done as a ShoutOut to KanyeWest's "Mercy" video.

Right... I'm a guy. I'm fifteen. I'm openly bisexual. And I'm creative. I write, I perform, I produce. At this present moment I am working on an album whilst simultaneously studying for my GCSEs; and trying to balance both with mental instability.

* ''Film/EscapePlan'': At the time of writing the most recent film I saw at the cinema.

* ''ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'', in particular TheNostalgiaChick, the RapCritic and ToddInTheShadows.

* BookSmart/BookDumb: Somehow both at once.

* [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shameless Fanservice Guy]]

* [[BadassGay Badass]][[BiTheWay Bisexual]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Frequently. For many reasons - my androgynous facial features, my skinniness (26in waist), my height (5'9'), the fact that I wear makeup...

* BrainsAndBondage: Used sometimes in writing to wax poetic about pain and the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic symbolism thereof]]. I also penned a spoof ObligatoryBondageSong called "Heat" as a ResponseSong to {{Rihanna}}'s "S&M".

* [[BrainsAndBondage Fetishes Equal Intelligence]]: Renamed here because it doesn't refer to bondage.

* [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream ]][[DistaffCounterpart Guy]]: Have been described as such by more than one person.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Being (sometimes) OlderThanTheyLook helps avoid this; but I still think it counts.

** Depp, Jackson, DiCaprio, Smith, Portman (as mentioned above).
