Line #18 Tropers/Duneflower


1	Well, here I am. Rather than try and describe myself like this, I think I'll just let the tropes speak for themselves...
2
3	[[AC: Added by this troper]]
4
5	* AloofBigBrother - Me sometimes, to my half-brother, who's the only sibling I have and nearly 16 years my junior.
6	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling - see above.
7	* [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Attention Deficit...Oo, Shiny!]] - Sometimes funny, sometimes problematic, but I do have an actual disorder in the area. 'S not a variant of [=ADD=], though.
8	* BerserkButton - ''Do not'' mess with the hair. It took me several seconds even to agree to let my ''first love'' to put a ''small'' amount of ''temporary'' dye in it.
9	* BigEater - For my size, at least.
10	* BookWorm - Not so much anymore, but back inna day...
11	* BrilliantButLazy - At least I think so...
12	* CatchPhrase - Primarily:
13	** "[[BruceAlmighty Almighty then...]]" (Used to be "[[AceVentura Alrighty then...]]" but I found BruceAlmighty ''way'' funnier)
14	** "Take it easy." (See also {{Leitmotif}} below)
15	** "You did ''not''." (Used both in response to certain kinds of [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] and occasionally MoralEventHorizon crossings, and for ItsPersonal moments)
16	*** The "awesome" version has recently been modified into "Are you serious?!"
17	** "Wait, what?"
18	* ChivalrousPervert, specifically the EthicalSlut + ForHappiness variant. I tend to relate ''a lot'' to [[InuYasha Miroku]], for obvious reasons. And hey, AtLeastIAdmitIt.
19	* CompanionCube - my electronics, particularly my consoles and computer.
20	* [[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]] - when I'm not being the AloofBigBrother. Also my stepdad often feels more like this to me.
21	* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon - Generally reserved for whom I genuninely [[ItsPersonal despise]], whether it's real people or characters.
22	* DeadpanSnarker - As often as I possibly can. Unfortunately, my stature disallows me from being TallDarkAndSnarky... (see below)
23	* EmbarrassingFirstName - Well...not really; I just don't relate to it so I never use it (and prefer not to give it out) online.
24	* EverybodyHatesMathematics - Cheerfully subverted; I don't exactly ''like'' math, but I find it difficult to hate something I'm good at. Math ''classes'', on the other hand... (same with English)
25	* FurryFandom
26	** AnimalStereotypes, though seemingly rather a different set than that which most people apply...
27	** Most of my chars are a single extended family, the matriarch being a certain minor ChronoTrigger character (whose [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready brother]] was the SixthRanger OptionalPartyMember...and yeah, he's around too...)
28	** FetishFuel - see below
29	** {{Hermaphrodite}} - though the unrealistic, mostly-feminine-looking version. Explains the name I use.
30	** HumansAreBastards, though there's always exceptions.
31	** {{Lolicon}} - If you really wanna know, ask.
32	** MostCommonSuperpower - [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean See above.]]
33	** [[DaydreamBeliever Otherkin]], of a weird semi-Therian persuasion. Once accused of being [[NotHimself posessed by a demon]] because of this by my normally-reasonable grandfather.
34	* GottaCatchEmAll - I'm a collector. For instance, my {{Civilization}} IV: Beyond the Sword modpack ''had'' to include every leader who'd ever been in mainline Civ up to that point. Also trying to complete a SquareEnix collection.
35	* GrammarNazi - Though in my own writing I intentionally do odd things like using more hyphens than you're supposed to, because I find it makes things clearer.
36	* TheInsomniac - I often get to bed late for various reasons.
37	* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY - Back when I was using my stepdad's surname, "Heavysege". Though subverted in that its exact pronunciation isn't even certain to ''him'', though he thought it was for a while.
38	** Also, my original personal character, in his first incarnation on Ragnarok MUD, kept getting his name (Stephen) mispronounced (people kept shortening it to "Steve") that I finally had him change the "common" version to Stef.
39	* JerkAss - Something of which my parents have been [[MoralDissonance accusing me]] [[RunningGag more and more]] of late...
40	* LargeHam - I actively ''try'' to be, when I get the chance, mostly for laughs. Though I often do feel like all the world's a stage and I'm just a character in some massive RolePlayingGame.
41	* {{Leitmotif}} - I consider three different popular tunes to be my theme-songs for various purposes:
42	** {{Eagles}} - Take it Easy: Sorta my general philosophy on life.
43	** DuranDuran - Ordinary World: Pretty self-explanatory if you know the lyrics.
44	** ...And I've somehow managed to forget the third. [[NerdRage Dammit.]]
45	* MinoredInAsskicking - Planning to, at any rate; hard to find anything besides karate, kung-fu (though, remarkably, one of the kung-fu dojos is ''wing-chun''), or kenpo around here. What I really want is aikido; or, failing that, t'ai-chi.
46	* {{Megane}} - The specs sometimes double as NerdGlasses or ScaryShinyGlasses (or, very rarely, StoicGlasses), depending on my current mood and preoccupation. Not BlindWithoutEm, though.
47	** AdjustingYourGlasses - Not just when I ''need'' too, either. (see LargeHam)
48	** CrossPoppingVeins tend to occur when someone suggests that TheGlassesGottaGo, as I think I look better ''with'' them.
49	* MistakenForJunkie - Have had this happen a couple of times, primarily due to one of my trademark accessories having since highschool been a camouflage jacket (as a BadassLongcoat when I can find one long enough, which sadly isn't very often). It plus a pair of matching trousers once even got me cast as a ''Death Hippy'' in an Amtgard session.
50	** Though since I started wearing ballcaps regularly, it's become more often "Mistaken For ''Trucker''". O.o
51	* {{Nakama}} - If life really ''is'' an RPG...well, I could do okay as a LoneWolf, but it's better not to if you can avoid it.
52	** I just realized that we might qualify as a FiveManBand, particularly if I can figure out a fifth member - though it's more common for the first three to be a PowerTrio of either the [[FireIceLightning Fire/Water/Thunder]] or the [[LandSeaSky Earth/Sea/Sky]] flavour, depending on how you look at it:
53	*** '''Myself''' (Water) - TheHeart, sometimes TheSmartGuy.
54	*** '''David/Blade''' (Fire/Earth) - TheBigGuy (Class 4). Not a full-blown [[TheBerserker berserker]], but prone to occasional fits of UnstoppableRage and generally aggressive; generally my [[TheLancer Lancer]], and we don't always get along. Probably the least-intelligent of us, but that's not saying much - consider that he's the only one of us who doesn't wear specs, and that's just because he prefers contacts; he's also usually the one telling me TheGlassesGottaGo. Ironically, also a ChefOfIron, having graduated recently from Le Cordon Bleu, Las Vegas.
55	*** '''Jay''' (Thunder/Sky) - BigFun, TheSmartGuy/TheHeart when I'm not, most likely MissionControl, also occasionaly a DeadpanSnarker. Prone to EpilepticTrees and the occasional CrackPairing. Currently writing a MegaCrossover.
56	*** Heather/Nonamei - Another [[TheBigGuy big mutha]], this time Class 2, MightyGlacier variant in {{Meganekko}} form, with the MostCommonSuperpower and occasional MadScientist tendencies, making her a candidate for GeniusBruiser status. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, ''really''.]] She's over 6' tall ([=IIRC=]), built like a brick, and prone to [[CheshireCatGrin Cheshire-Cat grins]]. And believe it or not, we went out for a while. Currently [[PutOnABus on a bus]], having been semi-forcibly relocated to middle-of-nowhere California, while the rest of us are in southwestern Utah.
57	**** Make that a ''charter'' bus; she's now more-or-less-permanently relocated to Kentucky and likely married soon if she isn't already. :/
58	*** Kristin/Shade - Nonamei's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: built almost identically (though not quite up to MostCommonSuperpower standards) and just as intelligent. However, emotionally practically the [[TheWoobie polar opposite]], not least because she has at least one KnightTemplarParent and they [[ParentalHypocrisy just]] [[HidingBehindReligion don't]] [[MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold understand]] [[FurryFandom her]]. Because of this and the control they enjoy over her due to her having to live under their roof, she finds real friends [[IJustWantToHaveFriends hard to come by]], which frequently leads her to refer to me (sometimes bitterly) as "popular", just because I usually have someone to talk to online.
59	*** And I think I have figured out the fifth: Robert/Sarogoth - TallDarkAndSnarky to the hilt, also wears contacts, literally TheMedic (National Guard), a bit of a KnifeNut and fan of the CoolSword. Occasionally mistaken for Harry Potter (no, really, and it's not that farfetched) and ended up marrying a SixthRanger, complete with HeelFaceTurn!
60	* [[PotHole Pot-holes]] - Gotta love'm.
61	* SarcasticClapping
62	* SelfDeprecation - Often for laughs.
63	* SelfInsertFic - Two in the works, one using Stef in the main FinalFantasyVII plot, the other using an InkSuitActor in LoveHina. In neither do I replace any characters, and I don't mess with the main LoveHina plot, such as it is.
64	* ShamelessSelfPromoter - Hey, at least I have [[http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=298392&page=3 something at-least-vaguely worth promoting]]...
65	* {{Shipping}}, though I don't [[DieForOurShip go down with my Ship]]. Primarily:
66	** {{Bleach}} - MinionShipping galore! Also, Grimmjow/Nel is beginning to look juicy, assuming Grimmjow survived...
67	** CardCaptorSakura - Tomoyo/Sakura. The OfficialCouple just never made sense to me. [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready Of course you know]] [[KissingCousins what this leaves us with...]]
68	** FinalFantasyVIII - SquareSoft could not have gotten the pairings more nonsensical, [=IMO=]. Squall/Quistis, Rinoa/Irvine, Selphie/Zell makes much more sense.
69	** And my favourite, LoveHina - OT3, Keitaro/Naru/Mutsumi. Akamatsu's such a wuss.
70	* ShippingGoggles - I don't always roll with what I discover, but I always look...
71	* TheShortGuyWithGlasses - [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] ([[SubvertedTrope subverted]] somehow?) in that I'm ''older'' than most of my contemporary friends, and rarely wear green aside from camo. Like I said, my stature doesn't exactly allow TallDarkAndSnarky...
72	* TheSmartGuy
73	* So Yeah - Gradually becoming another CatchPhrase.
74	* PlatonicLifePartners - Subverted with myself and Heather, as stated above.
75	* YuriFanboy - Yeah...
76
77	[[AC: Added by other tropers (WikiMagic off the port bow!)]]
78
79	Works this contributor finds awesome:
80
81	* {{Bleach}}
82	** Now complete with SelfInsertFic - I'm actually ''roleplaying'' as a version of my RLself '''on Twitter, of all places!''' I even have a girlfriend now. {{Squee}} . ^.^
83	* ChronoTrigger - Mundane (if well-executed) gameplay, but ''awesome'' storytelling.
84	** ChronoCross - Muddled plotline and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters a couple too many characters]] (and no, no SarcasmMode here; I really think there's only ''a few'' too many), but ''incredible'' (and [=AFAIK=] unprecedented) gameplay.
85	* {{Civilization}}
86	* {{Diablo}}
87	* DominicDeegan
88	* FauxPas
89	* FinalFantasyVII - another SelfInsertFic has been in the works here for some years, along with TheLegendOfDragoon...
90	* InuYasha
91	* LoveHina
92	* MarvelVsCapcom - The entire series, particularly 2. 3's damn good too.
93	* MaisonIkkoku
94	* TheMatrix (mostly the first)
95	* {{MUGEN}} (RIP Reu) - Currently have a roster of something like 500 characters, variants, and edits.
96	* {{Mulan}} - Gotta love female BadAss-ery.
97	* QuestionableContent
98	* RobinHoodMenInTights - It took me literally ''years'' and suddenly wondering why he decided to [[SpellMyNameWithAnS spell Robin's surname with an X]] (''Loxley'' instead of the usual ''Lockesley'') to catch one of MelBrooks' Jewish jokes: "...I mean, what a combination - Loxley and Baguelle! Can't miss!" For those who may not know, a favourite munchy among Jews (and a few others) is ''lox'' on a ''bagel'', often with cream-cheese - lox is a particular form of smoked salmon.
99	* SeikenDensetsu3
100	* SisterAct - WhoopiGoldberg, [[HeyItsThatGuy Dame]] [[HarryPotter Maggie]], and ''[[TheSoundOfMusic singing nuns]]''!!! [[MelBrooks Can't]] [[RobinHoodMenInTights miss]]!
101	* StreetFighter - The entire series, particularly Third Strike. Haven't played 4 yet.
102	* {{Tron}} - TronLegacy was definitely worthy. Slight beef with one particular part of the [[DaftPunk soundtrack]] though.
103	* WaynesWorld - No, the second one did ''not'' suck, though it definitely wasn't as good as the first.
104
105	Diverse enough for ya?

107	Feel free to edit and comment, just don't vandalize. [[SeriousBusiness Seriously.]]
