| 39 | [[folder: Tropes that Apply to this Troper]] |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * AloneAmongTheCouples: Been this way all my life so far. It only bothers me sometimes. |
| 42 | * TheAntiNihilist: Despite all the challenges, shortcomings and flaws of the multiverse I still strive to improve it for the next generation and myself, or at the very least make the best of it. |
| 43 | * ArcWords: "Everything always happens for a reason, even if you don't understand it," and "I'll/we'll find a way, we always do." |
| 44 | * BadLiar: The best I can pull off are half-truths, omissions, and misinformed guesses. Any real lie will cause me to start laughing at myself for it. Can be done deliberately for humor. |
| 45 | * BerserkButton: Due to my calm and collected nature, it takes a lot to trigger what few berserk buttons I have. If you know what's good for you, DO NOT excessively instigate me or any of my close, few friends in combat. I will do [[CombatPragmatist WHATEVER IT TAKES to make sure you lose and I win]]. |
| 46 | ** If you value your life, NEVER intentionally hurt an innocent child around me or I WILL call you out for it at the very least. |
| 47 | * BewareTheNiceOnes/ GoodIsNotNice: I am usually not hostile and would rather go about my life, however my brutal honesty is something to fear if you truly deserve it. Plus even though I'm not a strongman, I'm nothing close to weak in terms of physique. |
| 48 | * BrownEyes: Although personally I'd have preferred gray. |
| 49 | * BrutalHonesty: I'd rather be known as honest but blunt instead of deceitful yet nice. |
| 50 | * ComicallySerious: Most notably in any situation that involves NSFW humor or anything surreal/ludicrous, either giving faces that express disdain or confusion. |
| 51 | * TheDeterminator: I do not give up easily. I seem to have this defiance to failure. |
| 52 | * DisapprovingLook: A common indicator that I'm not amused. [[spoiler: The alternatives are much worse.]] |
| 53 | * EverybodyHatesMath: Zigzagged. I don't completely suck at it, but it's not my specialty and I don't enjoy doing it. |
| 54 | * TheFaceless: How I usually like to be viewed online, unless I know you well enough and feel you're trustworthy enough to see my true form. [[spoiler: You're not missing out on much.]] |
| 55 | * TheFatalist: I believe that free-will is but a mere illusion...yet it's worth preserving as a necessary lie to function in life even if it has limitations. |
| 56 | * GentlemanAndAScholar: It's part of my character I strive to work on becoming every day of my life. |
| 57 | * GoodIsNotDumb: I may be modest about my abilities, but I'll make an exception here and say that while I'm no genius, I'm sure as hell not an idiot. |
| 58 | * GuiltComplex: Downplayed. Used to have this issue until I realized that there's no point in worrying about anything beyond my control. |
| 59 | * HatesBeingTouched: Averted for very few people. Normally I'm just not comfortable with it for some reason. I won't kill you for it, but please don't... |
| 60 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Used to do this often, nowadays rarely. |
| 61 | * HisOwnWorstEnemy: Downplayed. I'm still have streaks of perfectionism, but things used to be so much worse. |
| 62 | * NeutralGood: I do what is right not because I'm ordered or compelled to, but because I want to. I don't need some unnecessary doctrine with superfluous, and often times false, definitions of right and wrong. |
| 63 | * PragmaticHero: Although I'm not really a hero or villain in RealLife, I try to do the right thing, even if it's for no other reason than to help myself sleep better at night or be able to look in the mirror without guilt for my actions. |
| 64 | * ProudToBeAGeek: And don't you forget it! |
| 65 | * PlayingAgainstType: Most of the time I'm a fairly collected individual, however I can easily portray a boisterous, overly emotive type on command or even mix the two. |
| 66 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: I tend to do this unconsciously, but I'm not as bad I used to be. |
| 67 | * SophisticatedAsHell: I'm the only person I know who enjoys good chats about philosophy, science-fiction, technology and spiritualism, yet also enjoys weird internet humor and sometimes acting insane. (Then again, I don't know many people). |
| 68 | * Stoic: Downplayed, my emotions are restrained but they're still existent...in small amounts. |
| 69 | ** NotSoStoic: If you're a good friend of mine, I tend to reduce the amount of restrictions I place on my emoting to the point where you'd think I was somebody else. |
| 70 | * ThinkNothingOfIt: My attitude towards people if I do a favor or something nice. |
| 71 | * TheSpook: Tends to come off this way...unless you get to know me. |
| 72 | * VerbalTic: Oh where do I begin? Somehow the words "Somehow, seems, personally, honestly" and various qualifiers end up repeating in my vocabulary. |
| 73 | * WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove?: [[spoiler: I pretend to not understand the concept usually as a joke...or perhaps as a coping mechanism. Best not to think too deeply into it.]] |

| 200 | [[folder: Favorite Tropes]] |
| 201 | |
| 202 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: When appropriately used as a device for strengthening a character, instead of merely making them "edgy" or "angsty", which I strongly dislike. |
| 203 | * HiddenDepths: You'll think twice before dismissing that seemingly average person as a nobody, they could be a ninja for all you know. |
| 204 | * HumongousMecha/ WalkingTank: All impracticalities aside, it's just...beautiful engineering! |
| 205 | * GeniusBruiser: To the point of it being my ideal role model. Proof that one does not have to sacrifice brains for brawn or vice versa. |
| 206 | * GenreBuster: A perfect challenge for a perfect game. |
| 207 | * LonerTurnedFriend: Perfect for CharacterDevelopment! |
| 208 | * PowerArmor: Useful when there are no mechs available. |
| 209 | * ScienceHero: If they aren't dependent on technology, but rather remains its master. |
| 210 | |
| 211 | [[/folder]] |
| 212 | |
| 213 | [[folder: Tropes I Strongly Dislike]] |
| 214 | |
| 215 | * AllMenArePerverts: Can't tell what's worse, the fact that the media makes it seem like all men NEED to be perverted in order to be considered worthy of having their existence acknowledged by women, or the fact that it makes men look like they have about as much depth as a piece of paper. |
| 216 | * ChainmailBikini: I could think of so many ways to exploit the obvious flaws of that pathetic excuse perverted men (and yes even women) call "armor." |
| 217 | * CastingCouch: Unethical, unprofessional, deplorable...what more is there to say? |
| 218 | * DoubleStandard: Most of them are fallacious and otherwise useless in reality. |
| 219 | * GoodIsDumb: Sure, there might be some heroes that are stupid, but that shouldn't be an ideal state of being. |
| 220 | * HumanAliens: Horribly unoriginal under most cases unless they happen to be humans that lived on another planet that just call themselves another name due to a different language. |
| 221 | * ItsPopularNowItSucks: I often refer to this trope as the "Hipster's Fallacy". The truth is just because something's popular doesn't necessarily mean it sucks, and just because something's unpopular doesn't always mean it's any good. |
| 222 | * LuddWasRight: Not only do most modern examples fail to accurately reference this trope, there's a reason this advanced tech exists in the first place: necessity! |
| 223 | * MenAreTheExpendableGender: As a person who believes that all humans male or female are created equal, this trope offends me deeply. |
| 224 | * ScandalGate: There is NO basis for adding the suffix -gate to any kind of scandal! The Watergate Hotel scandal was not the first ever recorded in history and this so-called "necessary suffix" I keep reading whenever people start reacting adversely to something is STUPID AND UNNECESSARY! Seriously, you're not making anything sound more dramatic or relevant with this naming scheme, IT HAS NO MEANING! |
| 225 | * SexEqualsLove: Ever heard of a rapist? |
| 226 | * ScienceIsBad: Oh it's SOOOOO evil, having all these technological innovations that also make life not only more convenient but have revolutionized mankind for the better / sarcasm. In reality science and technology aren't inherently good nor evil, they only reflect upon those who use it and how they decide to. |
