History Tropers / Tre

I also run a Discord server named In Search Of..., where my real-life friends and internet buds have converged into a neat little community. Shoot me a PM if you'd like an invite. One project that grew out of ISO is ''Scribbles,'' a digital zine with art, literature, comics, and ephemera created by members of the server and friends. You can find it on our page at [[https://insearchof.itch.io Itch.]]

I'm twenty-three, black, a writer and DJ/electronic music producer, male enough (he/his and they/them pronouns are both fine), a technology junkie, a purveyor of platformers, and a pop culture aficionado. ([[OpenSecret Also a robot. Don’t tell anyone.]])

I've been on TVT for the better part of a decade now. I joined in March 2010 at a ripe thirteen years old as @/{{Trerox}}, and dropped the "rox" not long afterward in a rare display of keen foresight. Since then I've left, come back, mellowed out considerably and generally, y'know, ''grown up,'' though some things about me -- including the media obsession that brought me here in the first place -- haven't changed much at all. These days I spend most of my time on the forums, largely at Forum Games and Yack Fest, because they’re fun places with cool folks.

I’m one of the four cohosts on [[twitch.tv/shapesandforms a Twitch channel]] called Shapes and Forms, usually alongside my buddy [[@/{{Bep}} planet Jane]] and our friends [[Tropers/{{JHM}} Sredni Vashtar]] and Wynne. It usually happens on Thursday nights, but we're just doing it as a bit of a hobby so the schedule can move it around on occasion -- the best place to figure out when we're doing stuff is [[https://twitter.com/planet_jane Jane's Twitter.]]

My friend and labelmate [[Tropers/{{Bep}} planet Jane]] has [[http://twitch.tv/planetJane a Twitch channel]] where I make regular appearances on the show Shapes and Forms, usually alongside fellow Diamondfish artist Silence and Secrecy (aka Tropers/{{JHM}} / Sredni Vashtar) and our mutual friend Wynne.

My musical alias is Music/TrevorWhatevr. I’ve independently released six [=EPs=], three albums, and a film soundtrack. For three years I also hosted an electronic music show on WRFL-FM called Whatevr Works. I read fortune cookies on air and played some of my favorite tunes. A good gig if I’d ever say so — I miss doing it.

* {{Asexual}} / RomanticAsexual: Something along those lines, but one thing's for certain, a seductive playboy I am ''not.''

* {{Asexual}}: I guess you could call it that.

Oh, and also: weird, odd and brilliant stuff on the edges of the zeitgeist is the kind of media I live for. Indie games, comics and music make up a big chunk of what I consider my favorite things.

* ExtravertedNerd: -shrug- Maybe? (At the very least I'm not the Urkelian stereotype this implies.)

* MustHaveCaffeine: I'm a twentysomething in the 2010s. This is pretty much a given.

* SelfDeprecation: Old habits die hard.

I use Tumblr a lot — my blog on there, [[http://trespeak.tumblr.com Trespeak,]] is a mess of memes and nonsense that's essentially the online equivalent to my messy room. I also run [[http://drywallunzipped.tumblr.com Unzipped]], a second haven for even more memes (and occasional serious matters).

I'm twenty-three, black, a DJ/musician and writer, male enough (he/his and they/them pronouns are both fine), a technology junkie, a purveyor of platformers, and a pop culture aficionado.

Most of my web presence beyond TVT is over on Tumblr at [[http://trespeak.tumblr.com Trespeak,]] a mess of memes and nonsense that's become my Internet home. I also run [[http://drywallunzipped.tumblr.com Unzipped]], a second haven for even more memes (and occasional serious matters).

I think that’s it. [[Troperwall/{{Tre}} Drop me a line!]]

I had a [[Literature/{{Stuck}} novel]] [[Literature/StuckAtTheGalleria series]] in the works, but at this point in time it's kind of dead (though I'm not ruling out the possibility of coming back to it).

[[TVTropesHasRuinedMyLife I was a Troper]] (initially joining in March 2010 as @/{{Trerox}}, dropping the "rox" that July), then [[PutOnABus I wasn't]], and now [[TheBusCameBack I am again]].

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Before I left TVT I was pretty much "that gonzo self-promoting writer dude" and had a tendency to play up my weirder traits; getting older and having taken a break gave me a bit of time to evolve and move past that, though. (I still self-promote, of course, but not to a point where it could be considered a defining character trait as it was before.)

* PutOnABus: I took a two-year sabbatical from the site between mid-2012 and 2014, [[TheBusCameBack coming back]] during the summer of that year.

Until next time, tropers. ^_^
