15	! Tropes Associated with [=Over9000Pylons=]
16
17	* BerserkButton: The ending of MassEffect3. Seriously, do not ask him about this. He has spent more time agonizing over it than you have, and no, he will '''never''' be convinced that it was anything less than one of the worst writing decisions of all time.
18	* {{Bookworm}}: [[CaptainObvious He's an English major.]]
19	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Actually does this fairly regularly, acting like a fictional character and making [[AsideGlance aside glances]] and speeches to a non-existent audience as a means of internal monologue.
20	* BrilliantButLazy: A very apt description.
21	* BrutalHonesty: Very common with people afflicted with UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome.
22	* ButNotTooForeign: Has Mexican ancestry, but does not conform to any Hispanic ethnic stereotypes and does not speak Spanish.
23	* CelebCrush: Absolutely adores Creator/MaryElizabethWinstead.
24	* CharacterDevelopment: Used to be a StrawNihilist, but now is more of a [[TheCynic common cynic]].
25	* CloudCuckooLander: Actually try holding a conversation with him for longer than five minutes and you'll see this trope in practice.
26	* ClusterFBomb: When something goes wrong, expect a long conga line of expletives.
27	* DarkerAndEdgier: Is more than willing to make jokes that [[YouMonster nearly all people would consider to be in bad taste]].

29	* EvilLaugh: He practices it on the regular.
30	* FandomRivalry: Holds contempt for people who like [[Film/XMen third-party]] [[Series/TheAmazingSpiderMan Marvel movies]] over the vastly superior Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
31	* GrammarNazi: [[VillainByDefault By default]], since he is an English major. Tends to be lax when it comes to forum posts, but he always knows when he breaks any rules of grammar. However, he mostly does it [[ItAmusedMe because it amuses him]]. When it comes to academia, however, grammar for him is SeriousBusiness.
32	* HatesSmallTalk: Not only does he find it useless, he also finds it physically exhausting.
33	* {{Hikikomori}}: Spends most days completely withdrawn, and despises having to go outside without a good reason.
34	* ICallItVera: His laptop's name is Sabrina.
35	* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Fits this all too well.
36	* LackOfEmpathy: Per usual with UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome, has extreme difficulty processing body language and non-verbal cues, leading to situations where he is unsure of how to respond.

41	* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: Hopes that one day the whole world will be like this.

44	* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: Is prone to repeatedly watching films or playing through video games that he enjoys. He claims that due to his autism, he has an extreme tolerance for repetition.
45	* ShrinkingViolet: Crippled by social anxiety most of the time.
46	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Firmly believes that the commonly spouted idea that "attitude is everything" is awful and self-destructive. People's attitudes are formed by the things that happen to them, not the other way around.
