3	You can call me Eryth, Mr President, Madam President or whatever name takes your fancy. Currently, I write for a living. I came up with this username when I was a [[OldShame teenager]], but I don't have the motivation to create a new account with a different name [[note]]I'm slightly uncomfortable with the nationalistic undertones of my usename, but I don't know a way of making it obvious that I'm not American[[/note]].

5	If this page had a scent, it would be a cup of [[CalmingTea Earl Grey]] with a dash of milk, pistachio biscuits[[note]]cookies in US English[[/note]], a burning wood fire, and a hint of [[SomethingAboutARose Poison Girl]] eu de toilette.

7	I'm happy to answer any biology related questions. I have an [=MSc=] in Microbiology. My personal belief is that you should know the rules before [[ArtisticLicence breaking them]].

10	I recently drafted and launched ArtisticLicenceAnatomy. Licence is [[Administrivia/AmericanAndCommonwealthSpellings spelled correctly]].

15	[[folder:Tropes I Like]]
16	* ArtisticLicenceBiology: I can switch my brain off and enjoy the technobabble despite knowing it's inaccurate. However, my MST3KMantra only goes so far.
17	* {{BFG}}: Big. Fucking. Gun.
18	* {{BFS}}: Big. Fucking. Sword.
19	* BilingualBackfire: It can be PlayedForLaughs and PlayedForDrama. A great, versatile trope.
20	* CalmingTea
21	* {{Malaproper}}: There's something funny about deliberately getting your birds waddled.

24	[[folder:Tropes I Don't Like]]
25	* ActorShipping: I draw the line at shipping real people who are still alive.
26	* HaremGenre: They are rarely executed well. And the ones that are executed well are just not for me.
27	* MRSDegree: While there are people that do further education for the sole purpose of finding a spouse, this trope soured on me when someone accused me of doing the same.
28	* RealPersonFic: Only exception is CrackFic involving [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets politicians]].
29	* RealityTV: A lot of the shows of that genre that were popular when I was growing up tended to be exploitative and mean-spirited.
30	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: I see it as a lazy way of portraying a character as intelligent. I do like it if it's used to show a character is DumberThanTheyLook. Personally, I believe that true understanding of complex ideas is achieved when you can explain it to a layman.
31	* ShippingGoggles: I'm guilty of this sometimes, but I've learned that platonic relationships are as good (or better) than conventional shipping.
32	* WallOfText: Please, [[AintTooProudToBeg I'm begging you]], think about your formatting if you're going to write something long.

35	[[folder:Tropes I Think Apply or Applied to Me]]
36	* BladeOnAStick: A (blunted) lance was my weapon of choice when I did medieval re-enactment.
37	* BritsLoveTea: Some stereotypes exist for a reason. However, coffee and hot chocolate are just as good as tea.
38	* DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: Found out the hard way that some slang in UK English turned out to be slurs in US English. I stopped using those words the moment I found out.
39	* DorkInASweater: I use Website/ThisVeryWiki and I like jumpers. If I don't want to make my own, store bought will do.
40	* GratuitousGerman: Studied Deutsch at A Level, and I liked to remind people of that.
41	* HiddenBuxom: I like to wear jumpers and loose-fitting clothing unless I'm going out out. Friends and colleagues have commented on this.
42	* IAmVeryBritish: I was accused of being posh while I was in the town I've lived in my whole life. It's not my fault I don't talk like a chav.
43	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: During my re-enactment days I carried a shield that was almost as big as myself.
44	* MandelaEffect: I always read AluminumChristmasTrees as AluminiumChristmasTrees, and thought the latter was more prevalent.
45	* TheNightOwl
46	* PinkProductPloy: My toolset is bright pink so any handyman that borrows it is [[ExploitedTrope less inclined to steal it]].
47	* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Due to an event where I was [[UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic stuck at home for months]], I learned to knit, crochet and embroider. Prior to that, I learned to sew so I could make the clothes I wore to medieval re-enactment battles.
48	* WhiteMage: When I worked as a cashier for a supermarket, a customer asked me if I was a white witch as the supermarket's gacha system gave them their shopping for free. [[TheScully If I am one]], I probably give passive luck buffs.
49	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: I'm pretty fearless most of the time. The only exception is when I'm somewhere high up.

53	* A copy of the DS game ''Mind Quiz'', which was recalled in my country for calling its player an ableist slur if they did poorly.
54	* A 12th Century-style shield

57	[[folder:Things I've been involved with on this site]]
