[[folder: Favorite works]]

This will mainly be my biggest interests in each category rather than ''every'' work I like, otherwise this would get way too long, but any character in my avatar gallery is most likely from a work I like to some degree even if not listed here, so feel free to ask me about those in forum games when applicable

* '''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}''' (mainly the main series)

* WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}, especially Vinny and Joel

this)

* '''403 Forbiddena'''

* Music/{{Camellia}}
* t+pazolite

(Rewriting the "Works I like" and "Tropes about me" sections. If you need reference as to what works/characters I like, my avatar gallery should be a good indicator of this for now)

[[folder: Some tropes I like]]
* AchievementsInIgnorance: Especially when Played For Laughs
* {{Adorkable}}: Especially since these characters tend to be relatable
* AffectionateParody of stuff I like
* AmazingTechnicolorWorld
* AnimeHair: Pretty fond of ridiculous hairstyles. (Except when I'm trying to style cosplay wigs...)
* AnthropomorphicPersonification, especially of the MoeAnthropomorphism type. Especially when the character design finds creative uses to represent whatever they're based on
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and BreadEggsMilkSquick
* AscendedGlitch: I find these pretty interesting
* BaitAndSwitch jokes: Can be pretty funny sometimes
* BandLand: Bonus points for instruments making sounds when you interact with them!
* BioluminescenceIsCool
* BlindIdiotTranslation[=/=]TranslationTrainWreck
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* CoolButStupid
* CrazyAwesome
* DarkIsNotEvil and LightIsNotGood: Some subversions I really like
* ExpressiveAccessory
* FunnyBackgroundEvent
* GlowingFlora
* GoodBadBugs
* GoodBadTranslation
* HarmlessVillain and LaughablyEvil: Especially of the more [[LargeHam hammy]] kind. What can I say, I love me some ridiculous villains
* HurricaneOfPuns
* JokeLevel
* LargeHam: Over-the-top ridiculous characters and situations? Yes please!
* LevelAte: Food-themed levels are fun
* {{Meganekko}}: Glasses = good
* MinusWorld
* MundaneMadeAwesome
* NinjaProp
* OminousVisualGlitch: I just like glitch effects/aesthetics
* PostModernMagik, MagicFromTechnology and {{Magitek}} - why have ''only'' magic or technology? Mixes are fun!
* SpecsOfAwesome
* StealthPun
* StylisticSuck at times, as a result of my love for SoBadItsGood
* TronLines
* Rhythm versions of UnexpectedGameplayChange
* UnsoundEffect
* WordSaladHumor
* WorldOfChaos

[[folder: Least favorite tropes]]
* AccidentalPervert: Often just comes across as cheap excuse to have characters creeped on/groped/ect.
* BlackComedyRape: Rape jokes as a whole are very much DudeNotFunny for me.
* ComedicLolicon
* ContinuingIsPainful
* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: If something is just too dark and hopeless, [[AngstAversion I'm likely to lose interest]].
* EasyModeMockery: mainly the "humiliating" type that outright insults the player for it (SillinessSwitch-type stuff is... better but as someone who loves SillinessSwitch it would be better as an actual option for anyone who wants it rather than just part of easy mode). Just let people play the difficulty they want without mocking them for it! As for the kind that locks you out of content like ''the final levels/chapters'', that's not great either (though certain extra content, extra hard [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] ect. being exclusive to harder difficulties is fine)
* EscortMission: While the ''concept'' itself is fine, it's rarely done well and I can't remember ever playing one of these I actually liked.
* FanHater[=/=]HateDumb: A lot of the time, hatedoms are even more annoying than so-called "bad fandoms". Especially when their main complaints are based around about how "cringy" and annoying the fandom is - as long as they're not hurting anyone, just let them have fun! While some fandoms do have their less pleasant parts (and I'm talking more about "attack and harass people in the name of fandom" rather than "make "~[=*cRiNgY*=]~" fanworks oh noooo" because honestly I don't really care about the latter) those are just VocalMinorities and I try my very best to not let that affect my opinion on the work itself.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: As a proud glasses-wearer who think people often look good wearing glasses, the implication that glasses are inherently "ugly" annoys me.
* GratuitousRape
* GrossUpCloseUp
* NewMediaAreEvil
* NotWantingKidsIsWeird
* PermanentlyMissableContent: The bane of every completionist, and a reason I often look up if there are any missables (mainly collectible/achievement-related ones) before starting a game.
* PointAndLaughShow, most of the time
* RomanticizedAbuse
* RomanticPlotTumor
* Certain audio-based kinds of SensoryAbuse, as someone sensitive to certain types of sounds it can get really grating and unpleasant. Notably, this includes what's known as "ear rape"[[note]]a term I'm not really a fan of[[/note]] - it's just annoying (which I guess is part of the point, but...)
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids
* StopHavingFunGuys
* StrawFeminist: And really, most strawman characters in general but this one tends to be especially annoying and often seems to completely misunderstand what feminism is actually about
* TrueArtIsAngsty
* UnnecessaryMakeover in many cases

!!Misc. other stuff:

[[folder: Aesthetics]]
* Glitches (especially game glitches) and glitch visuals/effects
* Hi-bit/"16-bit"[[note]]and by that I mean what's commonly referred to as "16-bit" even though the term doesn't really refer to visuals/artwork - think typical SNES/Genesis games[[/note]] and higher pixel art. In particular, I like the pixel art of many GBA and DS games. While I also like simpler pixel art, I prefer the more "complex"-looking styles. (In addition, I believe pixel art is a fully "legitimate" and good art style by itself and valid for more than just "retro nostalgia")
* Actually, just cool 2D game artwork in general
* [[FrickinLaserBeams Lasers]]
* [[ThisIndexGlows Glowy stuff]] in general, especially electronic but also other kinds
* Weird bootlegs, especially bootleg games. Bonus points for [[BlindIdiotTranslation bad]] [[TranslationTrainWreck translations!]]
* Cool eyewear
* Gijinkas/personifications, especially of the MoeAnthropomorphism kind.
* Early-to-mid-2000s internet

(Rewriting some sections. If you need reference as to what works/characters I like, my avatar gallery should be a good indicator of this lol)

Hey, I'm Zanreo! For some basic info, I'm 28 years old, mostly female (she/they/ze pronouns), and from Norway.

[[folder: Works I like]]

(...I should clean this up at some point)
'''Bold''' means my biggest faves, ''italics'' means "minor" interests, or things I used to be a big fan of, am now less interested in but still feel some attachment to. (Also, sections other than Video Games and Anime might be a bit outdated, might get back to them... at some point) By no means a complete list, but gives you an idea of the kind of stuff I like:

!!VideoGames (moving to top because it's the media I consume the most)
* '''Overall, most Nintendo series'''
* '''[[RhythmGame Rhythm games]] in general, especially Japanese and other Asian rhythm games'''
* VideoGame/AIDungeon2

* VideoGame/GhostTrick
* '''VideoGame/HatsuneMikuProjectDiva'''
* '''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'''
* '''Videogame/{{Kirby}}'''
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': Usually prefer the 2D/overworld games to the 3D ones, gameplay-wise
* '''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'''
* VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan[=/=]VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents
* '''VideoGame/{{Parodius}}''': Only the shmup games, and mainly the three last shmups in the series

* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}''
* '''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''': Favorite is Smash Ultimate, and other than Ultimate I only own the Wii U version of Smash 4 and Brawl. Only tried Melee a few times (and prefer the newer titles) and played the first game once.
* '''VideoGame/TaikoNoTatsujin'''

* VideoGame/WarioLand: Mainly Videogame/WarioLand4 and Videogame/WarioLandShakeIt. Hoping for a new game soon...
* VideoGame/WarioWare
* '''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}''': This [[MemeticMutation serious crime drama]] kinda feels like my "odd one out" in game series I'm a fan of among all the cute and cartoony-looking games. It helps that it's full of wacky moments/sidequests and ridiculous over-the-top action.
** VideoGame/{{Judgment}}
* ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape''

* ''Anime/OsomatsuSan''
* Manga/PopTeamEpic

* Anime/ToumeiShounenTanteiAkira: Honestly, I'd have loved to see this become a full series if only for more [[SoBadItsGood QUALITY potential]]

* WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie

[[folder: Tropes that apply to me]]
* HundredPercentCompletion: I'm a bit of a completionist and love going for all the trophies/achievements (even if just in-game achievement systems rather than account-based ones), 100% save files and similar. Usually what makes me try out extra challenges outside of the "regular" difficulty - generally I won't [[ChallengeGamer go for a super hard challenge]] unless I get something out of it (that "something" typically being a trophy). In fact, "play through game with an extra challenge" type trophies like speedruns, no damage runs and "play the entire game again on extra hard mode" tend to be some of my ''least'' favorite trophies/achievements, along with heavy grinds.
* AccidentalMisnaming: It's not "Zanero", it's Zanreo. Somehow, people keep writing my name as Zanero...
* {{Adorkable}}, at least I like to think so
* {{Asexual}}: And aromantic.
* UsefulNotes/{{Autism}}: Diagnosed as a kid.
* BerserkButton: Well, not exactly "berserk" as I don't tend to go into a flying rage, but these are things that annoy me:
** Cringe culture. I [[{{Understatement}} really do not care]] for cringe compilation videos, "bad art" blogs and similar types of mocking random people (often kids) on the internet for doing basically nothing wrong except daring to post something deemed "embarrassing" and "cringy". Just let people have their fun! Honestly, the word "cringe" in itself has almost been ruined for me at this point.
** On a somewhat overlapping note, extreme [[FanHater Fan Haters]] - see "Least Favorite Tropes" section for more details
** "Autism/autistic" used as an insult. As an autistic person, I really hate seeing these words used like this
** Sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and other kinds of bigotry, pretty much an obvious one but listing it anyway
** Videogame/{{Pokemon}} "genwunners" - people who claim the 1st gen are the only "real" Pokémon. (In fact, 1st gen is overall one of my LEAST favorites design-wise.) If someone prefers 1st gen, that's cool, but if they start claiming anything after the first 151 "doesn't count" or "doesn't even look like Pokémon"...
** When people look down at and make a big deal out of the very existence of optional easy modes/"help" modes, or just the very idea of it hypothetically being added to certain games. [[labelnote:put under note because long]]I pretty much never use these "help modes" myself in most games because I think it makes it too easy and I want the challenge even I have to try again and again, but I'm all for people playing on the difficulties they like and am sick of how part of the gaming community look down on and seem to hate "easy modes" like this, even just the existence of ''optional'' ones (emphasis on '''optional''' - no one forces you to use them and a lot of the time they're disabled by default). Why does it matter how others choose to play and enjoy the game on their own playthough, and is it really that important that everyone who beat the game must go through the very same difficult challenges you suffered through? Isn't just enjoying the game enough? To paraphrase Creator/JimSterling: "Nobody cares that a literal baby can beat the game just as well as you"[[/labelnote]]
** Fandom elitists/gatekeepers, claiming you [[NoTrueScotsman aren't a Real Fan™]] if you don't know everything, don't have certain opinions about things or in some cases even if you ''haven't been there from the start''. Just... shouldn't someone liking the thing be enough?
** Claiming internet friends aren't and can't be "real" friends, or that they can't be as important as offline, local ones. Plus, as someone who grew up with barely any friends at school or nearby for years, but found people to talk to on the internet, sometimes it can just be hard to find "irl" friends you get along with and share common interests with.
** The phrase "git gud", [[DiscreditedMeme even used jokingly]], tends to get on my nerves a bit. There are less obnoxious versions to say "just keep practising and you'll get better".
** To a lesser extent than most other stuff on here, but certain misconceptions about Nintendo (like "Nintendo doesn't allow any "mature" games on their systems") that still seems to be around somehow tend to annoy me.
* BigEater: Downplayed, but I love food, and can eat a lot of it at times. I also love trying out new kinds of food!
* BoyishShortHair: I like keeping my hair short, it looks good on me and is more convenient
* BuffySpeak: I tend to speak like this a bit, using "thing" and "stuff" a lot.
* ChaoticGood: According to several tests, and it seems to fit me pretty well - I try to be a good person, but am not always too concerned about the rules. (And sometimes, "following the rules" and "doing the right thing" aren't the same...) Though I guess I might really be somewhere in the middle of ChaoticGood and NeutralGood?
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: I can be pretty weird and often have my head in the clouds..
* ColorMotif: Purple and blue, my favorite colors
* CosplayOtakuGirl: Cosplay is one of my big hobbies, some of my costumes include [[Anime/ChargemanKen Ken Izumi]], [[Manga/NewGame Aoba Suzukaze]], [[VideoGame/ZeroWing CATS]] and [[Webcomic/{{Consolers}} Nintendo]].
* TheDitherer: Yep... I often have a hard time making decisions, and I've been most of the types listed at some point.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: From many late nights staying up playing games or browsing the internet.
* GamerChick: I play a lot of video games, in particular I'm a big Nintendo fangirl and love rhythm games, though I will play a lot of different games, preferring more stylized and cartoony games to more "realistic", dark and gritty ones.
* HatesWearingDresses: Well, I'm fine with them if it's part of a cosplay, but outside of that you won't see me in a skirt or dress (including special/fancy occasions, where I'll wear a suit instead), they just aren't my style.
* IconicItem: [[FrickinLaserBeams Lasers]]. Also banhammers when I was still a mod at a forum.
* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Along with quoting and referencing [[TranslationTrainWreck bad translations]], I sometimes phrase things with incorrect grammar in more casual speech for a fun and silly effect.
* {{Kuudere}}: More in real life than the internet, but for some reason can I seem kinda shy and "cold" around strangers sometimes? However my friends know this is not the case at all.
* MasterOfNone: Probably as a result of having lots of hobbies and not enough time to put effort into just one at a time (along with general laziness and procrastination). While I'm decent at drawing, making cosplays, making games and animations I wouldn't really call myself ''great'' at any of them.
* {{Meganekko}}: My glasses are an important part of my look, and I think they look pretty good on me.
* MsImagination: I tend to spend a lot of time daydreaming and in my own world
* NiceHat: I often wear a [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Waluigi cap]].
* NeverGetsFat: I don't seem to gain much weight not matter what I eat or how little I exercise
* NotAMorningPerson: I generally hate getting up early. Though on days where this doesn't matter, my sleeping schedule is all over the place.
* NoPronunciationGuide: ZAN-ree-oh? Zan-RE-oh? Creator/{{Sanrio}}? I don't really mind either way.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Due to me being short and somewhat young-looking, I'm sometimes assumed to be younger than I actually am.
* OpaqueLenses: I usually draw myself with these. Unfortunately averted in real life.
* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: After only two years of joining a Nintendo forum I hang out on a lot, they decided to make me a moderator. (Sadly, the servers broke years ago and the forum and site never got back after that :c)
* ProudToBeAGeek: Despite... less pleasant parts of geek and gamer culture, I'm still very much this.
* PungeonMaster: I wouldn't say "master", but I love puns and will usually take the opportunity to make one
* RidiculousProcrastinator: I have way too many unfinished projects, a giant game backlog and often delay things to the last minute.
** AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: And combined with this, it's a wonder I get anything done...
* SaveScumming: I fully admit to doing this at times when possible, typically to beat ThatOneLevel or easier get an annoying trophy.
* ScheduleSlip: Can be pretty bad at this regarding my webcomic... even if I don't actually have a set "schedule" anymore
* SignificantAnagram: My real name is an anagram of "Laser Linked", appropiate considering my fondness for [[FrickinLaserBeams lasers]].
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: Too much cynicism tends to just be exhausting, and I at least try my best to stay optimistic and hopeful despite everything. I also can't get into the "keep low expectations and you won't be disappointed" attitude - I usually have high hopes, but if they don't get fulfilled I rarely get really disappointed, my reaction is more likely to be "oh well, that's too bad:
* TheSlacker: Yep.
* SweetTooth: I love candy, desserts and all kinds of sweet snacks!
* TheTeetotaler: I don't drink despite being of legal age to do so, mainly because [[DoesNotLikeSpam I hate the taste of alcohol.]]
* TheQuietOne: I usually don't talk a lot and will especially be quiet around people I don't know
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Several people online have assumed I'm a guy (especially in more male-dominated forums), possibly because of my [[GenderBlenderName ambiguous-sounding nickname]].
‰‰* NonconformistDyedHair: I've been dying my hair purple for a while now, Might try out other colors too...

* Glitches (especially game glitches) and glitch visuals/effects
* Hi-bit/"16-bit"[[note]]and by that I mean what's commonly referred to as "16-bit" even though the term doesn't really refer to visuals/artwork - think typical SNES/Genesis games[[/note]] and higher pixel art. In particular, I like the pixel art of many GBA and DS games. While I also like simpler pixel art, I prefer the more "complex"-looking styles. (In addition, I believe pixel art is a fully "legitimate" and good art style by itself and valid for more than just "retro nostalgia")
* Actually, just cool 2D game artwork in general
* [[FrickinLaserBeams Lasers]]
* [[ThisIndexGlows Glowy stuff]] in general, especially electronic but also other kinds
* Weird bootlegs, especially bootleg games. Bonus points for [[BlindIdiotTranslation bad]] [[TranslationTrainWreck translations!]]
* Cool eyewear

Hey, I'm Zanreo! For some basic info, I'm 27 years old, mostly female (she/they/ze pronouns), and from Norway.

You've arrived at the troper page of Zanreo! For some basic info, I'm 27 years old, mostly female (she/they pronouns), and from Norway. I've been a troper since 2010, but only started becoming active on the forums again since August 2017 [[note]]I've also had some activity during 2011-2012 and the very occasional post between then and 2017[[/note]]. Forum-wise I mostly hang around Forum Games (in particular avatar games and HGS, and also [[Roleplay/TheMurderverse murdergames]] before they moved) but can also be found in Yack Fest and occasionally video game threads.

* WesternAnimation/KuboAndTheTwoStrings

* Film/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney (a rare good video game-based movie... even though they didn't get Maya's character right at all. Still the best non-animated game-based movie I've seen)

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: I can be pretty weird and often have my head in the clouds.
** CuckooSnarker: Though I do deliver some "sick burns" and snarky quips from time to time, often about the game industry.

* FanOfThePast: In a way: game history is one of my big passions, and I love reading up on game history trivia. Especially in relation to game companies rather than just the games themselves. (Though how big of a fan I am of the actual times rather than just finding the trivia amusing can vary)
** I'm also a shameless fan of various old [[MemeticMutation memes]] [[InsistentTerminology (sometimes preferring to call them "classic memes")]], [[DiscoDan even long after the rest of the internet has moved on.]] In fact, it would be easier and quicker to list the memes I used to like and HAVE gotten tired of...

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: Been dying my hair purple for a while now. Might try out other colors too...

* [[https://twitter.com/real_zanreo Twitter]] (not very active though)

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' (Also haven't kept up with in a while)

* Wooden Plank Studios (mainly their Nintendo comics, especially the Smash Bros. ones)

(Expect to see this updated now and then!)

* UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome: Diagnosed as a kid.

** When people look down at and make a big deal out of the very existence of optional easy modes/"help" modes, or just the very idea of it hypothetically being added to certain games. I pretty much never use these "help modes" myself in most games because I think it makes it too easy and I want the challenge even I have to try again and again, but I'm all for people playing on the difficulties they like and am sick of how part of the gaming community look down on and seem to hate "easy modes" like this, even just the existence of ''optional'' ones (emphasis on '''optional''' - no one forces you to use them and a lot of the time they're disabled by default). Why does it matter how others choose to play and enjoy the game on their own playthough, and is it really that important that everyone who beat the game must go through the very same difficult challenges you suffered through? Isn't just enjoying the game enough? To paraphrase Creator/JimSterling: "Nobody cares that a literal baby can beat the game just as well as you"

You've arrived at the troper page of Zanreo! For some basic info, I'm 26 years old, mostly female (she/they pronouns), and from Norway.

One of my biggest hobbies are video games, and I especially love Nintendo and rhythm games - rhythm games are a really underrated genre! I'm also known for loving bad translations and SoBadItsGood works, and also like [[MindScrew various]] [[WidgetSeries strange]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs works]], weird memes, cosplaying, cooking (especially [[SweetTooth desserts]] and other snacks) and drawing.
