7	A long time ago I used to call myself Background Bailey, [[MeaningfulName because I liked to rip sprite backgrounds from NES/SNES games for fun]]. Unfortunately, most people assumed that Bailey was my ''first name'', not my last, [[ViewerGenderConfusion which lead to some rather uncomfortable and awkward situations...]] So I took my last name and reworked it a bit, coming up with 'Bailoroc' because I thought it [[RuleOfCool sounded like the name of a wizard or a necromancer or something cool like that]].

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbsNjQvefYw&feature=related After seeing this video, I've decided to just nuke this section; I'll still keep the others up but now I kind of don't want to describe myself with tropes after all.]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job making tropers look bad.]][[/folder]]

26	[[folder: Tropes I love/like]]

28	* ActuallyIAmHim
29	* AffablyEvil: It's my favorite kind of evil! Probably how I would be if I wasn't NeutralGood myself (with a dash of StupidGood).
30	* AfterTheEnd: Because I believe nothing ever truly ends.
31	* AgonyBeam: Hey, given the right kind, it could actually be ''more'' painful than traditional torture methods. Plus it [[RuleOfCool looks really cool]].

72	* DeliberatelyMonochrome

74	* DepravedKidsShowHost: Tragic in RealLife...but ''funny as hell'' when played for laughs.
75	* DetectiveMole: Because let's face it; unless they're ObviouslyEvil, you ''never'' suspect the police.

77	* DontFearTheReaper: I think being friends with Death himself sounds pretty cool...just as long as he let's me live my natural lifespan, of course.

80	* {{Egopolis}}
81	* ElementalAbsorption: So cool!
82	* ElementNumberFive

97	* GenreBusting: I hope to one day myself make a work that does this.
98	* GodInHumanForm
99	* GoodOldFisticuffs
100	* GoodPowersBadPeople: Because as long as there is evil in the hearts of man, there will always be those who will use good for evil.
101	* GrapplingHookPistol: Come on, do I need to even ''explain'' why this is cool?
102	* GreenLanternRing: Okay, so it could, with bad writers, lead to problems but with great writers, they're awesome!
103	* {{Handguns}}
104	* HardLight

119	* InkSuitActor

121	* {{Invisibility}}
122	* InvisibilityCloak

124	* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind
125	* KnifeNut

131	* LotusEaterMachine
132	* LoyalPhlebotinum
133	* MacheteMayhem
134	* MadeOfIndestructium
135	* MadeOfPhlebotinum: It's a more realistic trope when you think about it; after all, computers and electricity are very popular in RealLife.
136	* MagicAIsMagicA: I like consistency.
137	* MagicKnight
138	* MagicMirror
139	* MagicMissile
140	* {{Magitek}}

142	* {{Mana}}
143	* MarionetteMaster
144	* MassHypnosis
145	* MasterOfIllusion
146	* MatterReplicator: It is one day my hope we can make these for real, which would allow us to use nuclear power as much as possible (Got nuclear waste? Toss it into the replicator!) and make landfills obsolete.
147	* MentalWorld
148	* MentalPictureProjector: This could actually have some valid, practically applications.
149	* MesACrowd: If I couldn't have darkness or psychic powers, I would have this ability.
150	* MindManipulation
151	* MindOverManners
152	* MinovskyParticle: Again, consistency is nice.
153	* MirrorUniverse: I love these places!
154	* MirrorWorld: These too.
155	* MookPromotion
156	* MonsterClown: Despite being afraid of clowns, I like this trope...or rather, maybe it's ''because'' I'm afraid of clowns that I like this trope.
157	* MundaneUtility: Because to do any less would be a waste.
158	* {{Nanomachines}}: So cool!
159	* NaturalWeapon
160	* {{Necromancer}}
161	* NeuralImplanting

166	* ObfuscatingStupidity
167	* OldDarkHouse: Actually...I would like to live in one.
168	* OneThousandNeedles
169	* OurLichesAreDifferent: I think liches are the coolest time of undead; I'm still waiting for a story that makes a good-aligned lich the main character.
170	* PeoplePuppets
171	* PiercingAttack
172	* PlayingWithPuppets
173	* PoisonousPerson

182	* PsychicDreamsForEveryone
183	* PsychicLink

196	* SphereOfDestruction
197	* SplitPersonality
198	* StandardStatusEffects
199	* StatesOfPhlebotinum
200	* StupidGood: Being a little StupidGood myself and able to laugh at my own failings, it's no surprise that I enjoy works with characters like this.
201	* SubvertedKidsShow: Oh, I ''love'' these shows! I wish they would make more.
202	* SummonMagic
203	* SuperSpeed
204	* SwirlyEnergyThingy
205	* SympathyForTheDevil
206	* TechnicolorFire: My favorite color? Black. Too bad it's not possible in real life....[[ScienceMarchesOn yet...]]
207	* {{Telepathy}}
208	* TeleportersAndTransporters
209	* TheArchmage
210	* TheBadGuyWins: They do sometimes win, of course, and I like works that aren't afraid to show it. What I would ''really'' like to see are more examples of AffablyEvil villains winning.
211	* TheGrimReaper: I know he's ''supposed'' to be scary but...I like this guy.
212	* TheGunslinger
213	* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf
214	* TheParalyzer
215	* TheRedMage

227	* UnEqualRites
228	* VillainousHarlequin

230	* WalkingWasteland
231	* WhiteMaskOfDoom
232	* {{Whatevermancy}}
233	* WolverineClaws

239	[[folder: Tropes I hate/dislike]]
240
241	* {{Aesoptinum}}: Come on, man, you can think of better ways to teach your audience an Aesop!
242	* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Eeeew, no! I can't stand cheerleaders! Or cheerleader types!
243	* AllMenArePerverts: No, they aren't.
244	* AllWomenLoveShoes: That's sexist! That's sexist and [[AndThatsTerrible wrong]]! Stop being sexist!
245	* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: I prefer stories where your special powers ''aren't'' tied to something that can simply and easily be ''stolen''.
246	* BambooTechnology: No, damn it, NO! You can ''not'' make everything out of wood and grass!
247	* BigRedButton: I know there are ways to justify having a self-desruction mechanism on your ship/machine/factory/whatever, but this isn't one of them.
248	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: Unless we're talking about something that needs a MagicalIncantation in order to work, why can't you just ''do it''?
249	* ChristianityIsCatholic: It's like Hollywood doesn't even know Protestants even exist!
250	* CloningBlues: As far as I'm concerned, all living things (and maybe even a few non-living things) have a soul, so a clone is just as real as a non-clone. Besides, identical twins are basically nature's clones, aren't they?
251	* CollapsingLair: Unless we're talking about a structure that's being held together by the villain's will, this trope is usually kind of stupid...
252	* ContextSensitiveButton: NO! NO! Science does not work like that! Maybe magic, but not science!
253	* CosmeticallyAdvancedPrequel: I know it can't be helped but it still bugs me.
254	* DarkIsEvil: ''Meh''...I prefer works that use "Dark People who ''happen'' to be evil" rather than "Everything dark is evil!!1!!"
255	* DeaderThanDead: This is HighOctaneNightmareFuel for me and I wouldn't wish this on anyone, not even a CompleteMonster.
256	* DistractedByTheSexy: This trope is stupid ''and'' sexist, my most hated combination.
257	* DoAnythingRobot: Unless it's made out of magic, nanobots, or liquid metal, this trope doesn't make any sense. The issue of the limitations of physical space alone keeps me from taking this trope seriously.
258	* DoubleStandard: Double standards are pure evil and must be exterminated from our cultures. Yeah, I said it.
259	* DuctTapeForEverything: Duct tape does not work that way.
260	* EleventhHourSuperpower: Lazy writing at it's laziest.
261	* ElvesVersusDwarves
262	* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: Shut up; don't make me smack you! Besides, "ladies" are lame; tomboys are much more awesome!
263	* FictionalCounterpart: Shows and media should be allowed to use the real deal's name; I hate how restrictive American copyright laws are.
264	* FluffyCloudHeaven: I don't know what goes on in heaven anymore than the rest of us but I'm sure whatever it's like is more wonderful and meaningful than ''this'' stupid trope.
265	* ForgottenPhlebotinum: If it's forgotten that easily, then there was no point in showing it off in the first place.
266	* ForgottenSuperweapon: Erg...getch....WHY WOULD YOU FORGET ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
267	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Not only do I ''not'' find "girl on girl" "hot", but I struggle to understand ''how'' other men apparently do. See, if it was a homosexual ''girl'' who was purchasing the yuri material, that would make sense ''because she is gay herself''; what does a straight male gain from watching two gay women from making out? [[CompletelyMissingThePoint I don't get it]]! And because of my ridiculously sheltered upbringing, I probably never will. Needless to say, I find straight people obsessing over gay couples to be creepy and voyeuristic.
268	* GoodAngelBadAngel: Parodies and subversions are always funny but other than that this is one trope that's kind of lame when played straight.
269	* GrandpaGod: I'm pretty sure God doesn't look like this...or anything, really, being a Supreme Spirit...can this trope be discredited now?
270	* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Unless it's a magical or an electronic book, this just doesn't work out.
271	* HandyRemoteControl: Can a remote have a lot of useful, pre-progammed options? Sure. But can it do ''anything''? Not without magic it can't.
272	* HetIsEw: YOU IDIOTS! You yourself (unless you were a "test tube baby") are a product of at least one heterosexual encounter! We're a species that reproduces through sexual intercourse between two different sexes; it's how nature (or {{God}} if you believe in that sort of thing like I do) made us, so stop acting like it's some kind of gross, bizzare sin of some kind! Geeze! It's like gay-bashing in reverse!
273	* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: No I don't, ''shut up''. Just because I find you attractive ''doesn't mean I instantaneously lose my will power''. Damn it, I [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] hate this trope!
274	* ImAManICantHelpIt: [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]] and this trope.
275	* InfiniteSupplies: It's fine for video games due to the nature of the medium but as soon as you start thinking about it in any other...
276	* InventionalWisdom: ....''WHAT''?!?
277	* MenstrualMenace: Now you're just being sexist.
278	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Again, really lazy writing. I don't mind characters learning new powers but either their powers should still be developing, they're unstable enough to change, or they earn their new powers through work....otherwise...
279	* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Plllooooot hoooooooole!
280	* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: The less I say ''why'' I hate this trope, the better.
281	* RedRightHand: No, it's ''actions'' that make you evil, not a deformity.
282	* ScrewLearningIHavePhlebotinum: Unless we're talking about a scientific and/or magical NeuralImplanting as a side or secondary effect, this trope is insanely stupid.
283	* SelfDefenseless
284	* SelfDestructMechanism: Unless you can justify it, this trope seems...stupid and unnecessary. Besides, destroying something the old-fashion way is just more exciting.
285	* ShallowLoveInterest
286	* SpearCarrier
287	* StatusQuoIsGod: I ''hate'' this trope. I ''loathe'' this trope. I ''despise''this trope. It's an excuse for lazy writing and for cowards who are afraid of a little continuity.
288	* TakeThatCritics: Unless your critics are complete idiots (and by complete idiots, I mean in a "stupid YouTube poster", "retarded Hill-Billy", or "Chris-Chan" kind of way), you should take ''all'' criticism seriously; sometimes they might point out something you may have missed and can be a valuable learning experience.
289	* TheDarkSide: DarkIsNotEvil, damnit.
290	* TheUnfairSex: I still hate double standards.
291	* TimeTravel: It's not that I hate TimeTravel persay, it's just that too many stories either uses really bad paradoxes or utilizes it poorly.
292	* TVGenius
293	* YourMindMakesItReal: Why?
