History WebOriginal / TendiesStories

* AbusiveParents: Inverted. It is the ''son'' who is abusive in these stories.

** Also Barney, iCarly, My Little Pony, Magic School Bus, [[{{Nerd}} and countless animes and video games]].

* YankTheDogsChain: In one story, Anon agrees to enroll in college (and gets in) in exchange for 10,000 GBP, which gives his mother hope that he will finally grow up and maybe even meet a nice girl. Upon learning her plan to break the StatusQuo, though, he cancels his application, saying [[BlatantLies he has to take care of his ailing mother]], and later that day his mom receives a letter praising her son for giving up college to stay home with her, hope leaving her eyes as Anon [[EvilGloating sits there, triumphantly sucking grease off his tendies]].

* WierdCurrency: Again, Good Boy Points, which are a quantification of how much basic decency it takes to earn what prize.

* DarkerAndEdgier: In early stories, Anon wasn't too violent and the worst he would get was assaulting his mother with his body waste. As the time went on however, [[{{GIFT}} as is usually the case with 4chan]], the stories became progressively darker, with Anon getting more cruel and sociopathic in many of them, and often including themes of murder, rape, or suicide.

'''Tendies stories''' are greentext stories which were particularly popular on FourChan in early 2015, featuring a ManChild who lives with his parents (usually just with his mom) and loves [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin chicken tenders]], which he gets in exchange for "good boy points", or GBP, that are awarded to him for good behavior. In most of these stories, the protagonist tends to be massively overweight, immature verging on infantile, and very violent, which often ends badly for his family.

Mostly DiscreditedMeme as of 2016, but still resurface occassionally.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Systems similar to Good Boy Points do exist in real life parenting, except of course they are used with actual children and usually they don't actually award points for things like "not dumping your waste on your mother's bed".
* AuthorAppeal: Some of the stories are obviously just poorly disguised fetish stories that were meant to pander to the author's fantasies, unfortunately, considering the subject matter here, it's usually [[NauseaFuel not your non-controversial vanilla fetishes]].

* {{Crossover}}: There is at least one story that is also a [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shrek-is-love-shrek-is-life "Shrek is love"]] type of story.

* DependingOnTheWriter: As the stories are posted by different anonymous users and each is supposed to be a made-up account of their own lives, the Anon's character varies a lot across stories. In some of them, he's in his twenties, in others he's as old as late thirties, in some stories he's simply a typical immature NEET with nerdy interests who still lives at home, in others he acts like a young child (wearing diapers, playing with toys, watching shows like [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]] etc.), sometimes he's simply a nuisance to his family, other times he's a violent and abusive sociopath.

* DrivenToSuicide: In at least few stories, Anon's mom actually kills herself (usually by hanging), unable to stand living with her son.

* FatBastard: In many stories, Anon is described as very obese, often weighting few hundred pounds.

* {{Flanderization}}: Over the course of the meme's lifetime, Anon went from an entitled, slightly messed-up basement dweller to a cartoonish, exagerrated man-baby who constantly assaults others with his piss and feces, sexually violates his mother and can't take the slightest care of himself.

* KickTheDog: Too many examples to count. It is a pretty common theme in the stories for Anon to be deliberately as nasty to his mother as possible, do horrible things just to break her psychologically, constantly test the limits of how much he can get away with etc.

* PottyFailure: Anon often ends up "poopooing" and "peepeeing" himself, in many stories he straight-up uses diapers, which his mother has to change of course.

* Rule34: In some of the stories, Anon will masturbate to literally everything, including Baby Bop from Barney, Shadow from Bear in the Big Blue House or [[{{Squick}} even his own family album]].

** Anon wakes up at some unorthodox hour (like 5 P.M.) acting like it was morning.

** Anon's mom uses [[DescentIntoAddiction "Sleep candies"]] to cope with her situation.

** [[spoiler: In another story; Anon actually succeeds in getting a stable job and life, becoming quite successful while he is at it, when he returns home to visit his folks, he demands the reward his mother promised him for achieving what she asked, when she doesn't comply, Anon flips out and reverts back to his childish ways]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: In some of the stories, Anon's actions lead to this, directly or not (see DrivenToSuicide above)

* ShaggyDogStory: A common TwistEnding for greentexts. One example starts with Anon, his sister and mother boarding an airplane for a VacationEpisode in England, yet ends where it was AllJustADream, [[spoiler: with Anon checking his watch to see it's [[CrossesTheLineTwice 9:02 A.M. on]] [[TooSoon/September11th September 11th, 2001.]]]]

* WouldHurtAChild: What Anon often has no qualms about doing. In one story, he defecates in his baby nephew's crib which is implied to leave him partially blind, in another he punches his pregnant mother in the stomach and then locks her in a cupboard as she cries that he may have hurt the baby.
* YankTheDogsChain: In one story, Anon agrees to enroll in college (and gets in) in exchange for 10,000 GBP, which gives his mother hope that he will finally grow up and maybe even meet a nice girl. Upon learning her plan to break the StatusQuo, though, he cancels his application saying [[BlatantLies he has to take care of his ailing mother]], and later that day his mom receives a letter praising her son for giving up college to stay home with her, hope leaving her eyes as Anon [[EvilGloating sits there sucking grease off his tendies triumphantly]].

* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: Although (hopefully) completely fictional, the stories are written as if the author was their protagonist narrating them in first person, to the point of the other characters referring to him as Anon, which in greentext stories is used as a replacement for the narrator's real name.

* ShoutOut: Anon tends to be a fan of ScoobyDoo in many stories.

* ShaggyDogStory: A common TwistEnding for greentexts. One example starts with Anon, his sister and mother boarding an airplane for a VacationEpisode, yet ends where it was AllJustADream, [[spoiler: with Anon checking his watch to see it's [[CrossesTheLineTwice 8:46 A.M. on]] [[TooSoon/September11th September 11th, 2001.]]]]

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: A very twisted example. Anon tends to be extremely abusive towards his mother, but in his own way he does seem weirdly attached to her, although it's apparently more about attachment to the comfort of his established lifestyle rather than genuine feelings towards another human being.

* InsistentTerminology: Anon usually hates it when chicken tendies are referred to simply as chicken tenders.

* SeriesMascot: The stories are usually accompanied by a picture of Pepe the Frog, mostly his smug variant, involved in the types of situations the stories are about. Pepe's mom also tends to have the face of Wojak, who is usually depicted as the victim of Smug Pepe's antics.

* TrademarkFavoriteDrink: Cherry Coke Zero usually takes this role.

* NobodyPoops: Averted ''so'' hard.

* PsychopathicManchild: And how! Most of the time, Anon is portrayed as ''very'' immature, often straight up infantile to the point of wearing diapers and speaking in BabyTalk, and the things he is sometimes capable of when doesn't get his way can be [[NightmareFuel pretty terrifying]].

* DownerEnding: Some of the stories end with Anon [[SelfMadeOrphan losing his parent(s)]], in others his actions get him arrested/committed, sometimes it's even implied he dies as well at the end after mistaking [[DrivenToSuicide his dead mother's medicine]] for candy.

* TheWoobie: Poor Anon's mom...
