[[caption-width-right:350:An interactive community]]
''[[https://beta.tatteredweave.com/ Tattered Weave]]'' is a virtual online community that includes avatar personalization, leveling and interacting with creatures called kith, crafting such as cooking and tailoring, and interactions with [=NPCs=] through quests and story events. It was first launched around 2016.

In terms of gameplay, flash games, posting on the forums and interacting with the [=NPCs=] through quests are primary ways to earn "Shards", the base currency of the site. Premium currency, "Gems" are earned through a few daily quests, daily game high scores, and by purchasing them through the site.

The story and the [=NPCs=] is one of the most important aspects of the site. The story begins 1,000 years AfterTheEnd, leaving only a small Remnant of reality untouched when the world was un-woven -- the small city of [[MeaningfulName Hope]]. Users begin within this remnant, enrolled as students in Hope University. Recently in Hope, mysterious creatures known as Kith have appeared from the Tattered Weave, which users can ally with. Since the introduction of Kith and users, other remnants of the world outside of Hope, the Enchanted Forest and Coral Reef, have since been discovered, with more [=NPCs=] to interact with and more stories to discover.

!! TW contains example of:
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The [=NPCs=] grew more and more colorful until The Shadow Stage, where characters can come in every color of the rainbow.
* ApocalypseNot: The entire world has been unwoven into a mess of tatters and much of the knowledge and resources of TheBeforeTimes are lost, but many of the remnants that survive have developed healthy, kind, generous societies in the 1,000 years since
* AscendedMeme:
** Dr. Stuffy started as a player joke/headcanon that Lycus might have a pet stuffed weasel. Shortly after players sent the NPC a stuffed weasel in a trade, asking if he "lost Dr. Stuffy," it was introduced as an official toy item, and can now be seen sitting on the backshelf of his lab
** The special fanfiction books released on April Fools contain lots of references to actual the players' interactions and headcanons about the characters, including a werewolf AU
** The special 'Thespiansona' books that can be acquired through one of the The Scribe's quests. Various players were making Thespian versions of themselves and sharing them on site, and Scribe liked the idea so much that she decided to write down the parts so people could read them.
* BigWordShout: Often used in events, during climatic moments.
* CuriosityKilledTheCast: Subverted. You would expect someone who walks through unraveled reality to die horribly, but it has never happened.
* DigitalAvatar: It is common for petsites to have avatars. Tattered Weave is no exception.
* ForeignLookingFont: Only in the background art, but whatever language Hope used before the Cataclysm, it wasn't English.
* GoodVersusGood: Often found in events, two characters will fight, however neither of them are completely in the wrong.
** For example, Andre and his kith Fray had an event where Fray accidentally tore Andre's prized friendship necklace. Fray was in the wrong, but he was still a good kith.
** Another example is Tethys and Dione arguing over whether Dione should release her tailoring patterns. It was for the greater good, but it was still Dione's passion.
* HeroicSacrifice: The hero Althea gave her life to preserve Hope from the Tatters.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Small fourth wall breaks are common, often referencing the writing staff.
* NonHumanSidekick: Kith in a nutshell. Every new player allies with a Kith to learn about the world together, and that alliance can protect the player from the tatters.
* NotTheIntendedUse: A method to play the minigame This Little Pig was found that the developers didn't expect. However, it's not an exploit, just a strategy, and as such the developers couldn't care less.
* PlantPerson: The Dryads, who take sustenance from their trees and are almost {{Treants}} themselves
* PrincessesRule: Princess Celariel, though this is a somewhat JustifiedTrope in that her father is still alive, he's just unable to rule.
* RelationshipValues: The player has a reputation status with each NPC.
* ScavengerWorld: Appears to apply to the Pirates from the Coral Reef, with a weird amount of very high-tech machinery on their ships that they've mostly repurposed into cooking equipment.
* VideogameCaringPotential: A lot of the players are willing to help out newbies with their quests, as starting out can be a little rough.
** On the gameplay side of things, there's also taking care of your Kith. You can feed them, play with them, and even read books with them--and all of them contribute to the Kith's stats, such as Guard, and will eventually change a Kith's personality completely!
* VisibleSilence: Sometimes seen in events during suspenseful moments.

The story and the [=NPCs=] is one of the most important aspects of the site. The story begins 1,000 years after a great Cataclysm ripped apart the world, leaving only a small Remnant of reality untouched, Hope. Users begin within this remnant, enrolled as students in Hope University. Recently in Hope, mysterious creatures known as Kith have appeared from the Tattered Weave, which users can ally with. Since the introduction of Kith and users, other remnants of the world outside of Hope, the Enchanted Forest and Coral Reef, have since been discovered, with more [=NPCs=] to interact with and more stories to discover.

* ABoyandHisX: Every player allies with a kith when they first begin the game
* GuideDangIt: A lot of info for how to proceed in the game requires on-site guides, tutorials, or interaction with the discord to figure out.
* TheEndoftheworldAsWeKnowIt: Though set well after the initial cataclysm, much of the progress was lost in a devasting destruction of almost the entire world.
* SavingTheWorld: This most obvious evidence of this trope is Althea's sacrifice that preserved Hope while the rest of the world was destroyed. More recently, Princess Celariel's motivations to marry and protect the Heart of the Forest were rooted in a desire to save her world.
* HeroicSacrifice: Althea sacrificed herself to save Hope during the cataclysm.
