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 |
55 | [[/folder]] |
56 | |
57 | [[folder:Things I've been involved with on this site]] |
58 | * Created and Launched ArtisticLicenceAnatomy. |
59 | * Took SexyWalk to TRS and came up with the rename SupermodelStrut. |
60 | * Took BuxomIsBetter to TRS and suggested the rename to BuxomBeautyStandard. |
