| 26 | I've been a contributor since August of 2014, though I've been lurking on the site [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife for hours at a time]] practically since its inception. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | I exist on Website/DeviantArt as [[http://solipsism-syndrome.deviantart.com/ Solipsism-Syndrome]], and I am also on Website/FanFictionDotNet as [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/833494/The-Great-and-Powerful-Keski The Great And Powerful Keski]]. (I haven't been active on either site in a very long time, but there you have it.) |
| 29 | |
| 30 | I have always been firmly seated in the realm of SpeculativeFiction, but over the years I have shifted from a strong preference for {{Fantasy}} to a strong preference for ScienceFiction - the [[MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness harder]] the better. Ten bonus points to ScienceFantasy, and [[ThePointsMeanNothing a billion points]] to any work that purports to be fantasy but {{Genre Shift}}s into science fiction, or turns out to have been science fiction all along. (''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'' and ''The Literature/SecondApocalypse'' are two shining examples that each get a billion and ten points for being all of the above.) |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Fifty negative points, though, to works that Genre Shift in the other direction. [[TakeThat I'm looking at you]], ''Series/{{Alias}}''. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | I am [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not to be confused with]] that [[UsefulNotes/{{Solipsism}} other thing]] my name [[BlatantLies coincidentally]] rhymes with. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | This paragraph serves no rhetorical or informational purpose, and [[{{Filler}} exists only to pad out this portion of the page]], so that the picture of BMO won't overlap annoyingly with the next section, since the rest of the page consists of bulleted lists (although some of the bullets are full paragraphs, especially once you get down to the lists of my own works and tropes that commonly appear in my works. Nonetheless, the rest of this page, after this paragraph, ''is'' in fact bulleted lists. Well, and a couple of numbered lists peppered throughout, [[CaptainObvious for sequential items]]. And a couple of horizontal bars). I suspect I have enough {{Filler}} now, so [[TheEnd I'm going to stop typing]]. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | [[EndingFatigue I decided I didn't have quite enough]] {{Filler}}, so [[AsYouKnow As You Can See]], [[CaptainObvious I'm still typing]]. Or rather, I'm typing again, and from your perspective I've probably been ''done'' typing for quite some time; and in fact, [[Series/DoctorWho from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint]], [[MoreThanThreeDimensions time is just another spatial dimension]] that we are evolutionarily unable to perceive as anything other than a linear, one-way progression (which is why we are capable of "looking" and "moving" in one direction only--respectively backward and forward (from an individual perspective, of course[[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma ))]], which means verb tenses are essentially pointless from an objective perspective, and it only bears saying that for a specific period of time with set bounds, which we shall call T[[subscript:x]]'''[=:=]'''T[[subscript:y]], I type the material on this page (well, I didn't type it all in one sitting, i.e., period, but you get the idea), and for another specific period of time with set bounds, which may or may not have ([[NoExceptYes and is astronomically unlikely to have, but could still technically have]]) the ''same'' bounds, and which we shall call T[[subscript:a]]'''[=:=]'''T[[subscript:b]], you read said material. And if spacetime is closed, that means in a sense, you have already read it, are reading it, and are about to read it, all at the same time. Which doesn't exist. Sort of. But now I'm pretty positive I have enough {{Filler}}, so [[MoodWhiplash piss off]] and go read the rest of the page. |

| 49 | ---- |
| 50 | !! [[FirstPersonSmartass I]] contain examples of: [[#examples]] |
| 51 | * {{Adminisphere}}: I'm firmly ensconced in it. |
| 52 | * AggressiveSubmissive: [[LampshadeHanging This is a]] Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. |
| 53 | * [[AllTheGoodMenAreGay All the Good Men Are Straight]]: Oh, how many times I've thought this. [[note]]Yeah, I {{Pot Hole}}d a trope name in an example list. And I'm going to do it again before this list is over. What are you gonna do about it? Come at me, bro. '''''COME AT ME, BRO!'''''[[/note]] |
| 54 | * AntagonisticOffspring: I've had some pretty epic SnarkToSnarkCombat with both my parents, but my relationship with my dad is [[OedipusComplex particularly strained]], [[CaptainObvious probably because]] fathers tend to take issue when their sons turn out gay. |
| 55 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: These days, as often as not, it seems I'm BecomingTheMask, but when provoked, I can be quite a bitch. |
| 56 | * BobFromAccounting: Alex from HR. |
| 57 | * BoringButPractical: Most of my life revolves around this trope these days. I've long since grown tired of frequent RetailTherapy interspersed with being broke and hungry, so now I keep my life in order the only way I know how: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The boring way]]. |
| 58 | * BrilliantButLazy: Almost dropped out of high school out of pure disinterest, and consistently fail to challenge myself because I just can't be bothered. That said, I enjoy self-studying calculus and can work wonders with large amounts of data. Of course, YMMV as to whether that qualifies as brilliant. |
| 59 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: I take everything I do very personally, and I tend to take on a lot of responsibility, which has the unpleasant result of me having too much on my plate, inevitably dropping one of the many balls I'm juggling, and then feeling like every dropped ball is a massive personal failure. I generally have pretty good self-esteem these days, but this trait is one of my biggest personal challenges in terms of maintaining that self-esteem. |
| 60 | * DeskJockey: Despite being in the Army, I have never been, nor do I want to be, a combat arms soldier. |
| 61 | * DontYouDarePityMe: If there's anything that reliably pushes my BerserkButton, it's pity. |
| 62 | * FourPointScale: A brief perusal of my [[http://www.anime-planet.com/users/Solipsism Anime-Planet account]] will reveal that I am a textbook case. And with over 300 separate works rated, that's a pretty damn good sample. However, I choose to say that this is a JustifiedTrope in at least my case: I read reviews and recommendations before watching most anime, which lessens the chance that I'll voluntarily watch something that is genuinely bad. Still, some turds do get through, and I ''have'' given out a not-totally-negligible number of shit ratings over the years, down to and including .5 stars (the equivalent of a 1/10). [[note]]I never rate a work at 0, because in my opinion, a 0 is simply a lack of a rating. I consider 1/10 to be the lowest actual rating, reserved for works that are absolute shit with no redeeming qualities.[[/note]] |
| 63 | * GenderIsNoObject: I honestly don't even get why this has to be a thing. But there you have it. |
| 64 | * GrammarNazi: I've eased off since I realized I was trying to move the ocean with a teaspoon, especially on the internet. |
| 65 | * HaveIMentionedIAmGay: Just checking. Didn't want you to miss that. |
| 66 | * HouseFey: Pun very much intended. I tend to fill this role, though less so since I started dating a guy who is even ''more'' of a HouseFey. |
| 67 | * ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: I've stopped doing this, thank God, but I've been known to do it on occasion. |
| 68 | * ImAManICantHelpIt: [[RunningGag This is another]] Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. |
| 69 | * InsecureLoveInterest: One of my more troublesome personality flaws. |
| 70 | * InterserviceRivalry: Par for the course, because it's fun to perpetually insinuate that [[HelloSailor everyone in the Navy is gay]], Marines are all [[DumbMuscle musclebound meatheads]], the Air Force is full of [[SpoiledBrat Spoiled Brats]] who [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything Don't Do Anything]] except complain about "substandard living conditions" that an Army enlisted Soldier would call luxurious, and the [[TheScrappy Coast Guard]] [[FanonDiscontinuity isn't a real military branch]]. |
| 71 | * ItsNotYouItsMe: I've done that... uh... 5, 6... a few times. |
| 72 | * LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Like bars and Craigslist. I'm learning, though. I met my current beau on [=OKCupid=] and he's pretty much the best thing ever. Will update [[DoomedDefeatist when the relationship inevitably implodes]]. |
| 73 | * (Borderline) MarriedToTheJob: I've strained many a relationship, romantic and otherwise, by getting a little too involved with my work, but these days I'm easing up. |
| 74 | * MilitaryBrat: My parents are both retired [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks U.S. Navy]] and I am, predictably, also in the military -- [[SubvertedTrope as a member of the Army National Guard]]. |
| 75 | * NerdsAreSexy: You're goddamn right they are. |
| 76 | * NonActionGuy: Have no fear, the guy who approves travel vouchers and manages funds according to regulation is here! |
| 77 | * [[Administrivia/{{Sinkhole}} Pot Holes]]: [[IncrediblyLamePun I fall into these all the time.]] |
| 78 | * ReallyGetsAround: I'm at the point where, to accurately count how many people I've slept with, I would probably need a pencil and a sheet of paper and ten or fifteen minutes. And maybe an abacus. |
| 79 | * RetailTherapy: Oh, do I love spending money. |
| 80 | * {{Salaryman}}: Essentially; I'm an NCO, but I don't supervise anybody. See also WhiteCollarWorker, below. |
| 81 | * SerialRomeo: [[RuleOfThree This is the last]] Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. |
| 82 | * SerialTweaker: You can probably click the "History" button above and immediately see evidence, but in the interests of [[Administrivia/WeblinksAreNotExamples not requiring you to click a link to see example context]], I'll just say that I do this with almost every edit I make, usually at least twice. I'm working on it, but I have a tendency to constantly decide things aren't perfect ''even after deciding that they are perfect'', so even if there are no actual mistakes, I'll still find reasons to tweak things. |
| 83 | * SoldiersAtTheRear: Heh. Heh. Heh. No, seriously. |
| 84 | * UsefulNotes/{{Solipsism}}: A mild example, milder now than I was in high school. [[RunningGag But I'm not to be confused with it]]. |
| 85 | * StraightGay: My deep voice and square jaw help to cement the illusion. |
| 86 | * ThickerThanWater: Averted; I like my family well enough, but I'm not particularly close to any of them, nor do I prioritize their wellbeing or safety over someone else's solely by virtue of their being related to me. |
| 87 | * TroubledButCute: Well, ''some'' people think I'm cute. |
| 88 | * VerbalTic: I have a tendency to begin posts with "Mmm", "Yeah", and "Well", one of which seems to pop up at the beginning of 85% of my forum posts. |
| 89 | * WhiteCollarWorker: I work at a desk, in a cubicle, in an office. [[SubvertedTrope In a U.S. Army uniform]]. |
| 90 | * WordCruft: Oodles. [[BlatantLies I'm working on it]]. |
| 91 | * {{Workaholic}}: I get most of my personal fulfillment from my work, as opposed to any other aspect of my life. I've been easing up recently, though. |
| 92 | * WouldNotShootACivilian: [[TrilogyCreep Actually,]] ''[[TrilogyCreep this]]'' [[TrilogyCreep is the last]] Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | !!Tropes I Have Provided Examples Of... Whilst In-Character: [[#ictrope]] |
| 95 | * BeeBeeGun: I am a [[{{Whatevermancy}} waspmancer]] with the ability to summon and control wasps from the Waspverse, including the Waspgod, who is really a pretty chill lady. |
| 96 | * BeleagueredBureaucrat: After being electappointed the Prime Minister of Gay, I very quickly (i.e., within minutes) found myself [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13058949630A67253100&page=6790#169750 lamenting the difficulties of my position.]] |
| 97 | * PestController: In addition to my [[BeeBeeGun waspmancy powers]], I was also briefly a spidermancer, but the Spidergod was displeased by vis treatment when ve visited our universe, and when ve left, ve closed off my access to the Spiderverse, which stripped me of those powers. |
| 98 | * {{Whatevermancy}}: To date, I have been a [[PestController spidermancer]] and a [[BeeBeeGun waspmancer]]. Unfortunately, after I [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=khm0fdto843mn37yx2uanhae&page=14085#352107 summoned the Spidergod to our universe]] and ve (a [[GenderNeutralWriting gender-neutral pronoun]], as the Spidergod has NoBiologicalSex) was assaulted and stapled to a wall, ve departed back to the Spiderverse and cut off all links between our universes, which stripped me of my spidermancy powers. |

| 125 | ---- |
| 126 | !!Tropes common to my work include[[note]]I may start putting up pages for my {{Fan Fic}}s and {{Roleplay}}s, but for now you'll just have to [[TakeOurWordForIt Take My Word For It]] that this stuff exists somewhere. I will cite from roleplays (but only tropes that ''I'' used, not ones only used by other players), fanfiction, and original fiction.[[/note]]: [[#comtrope]] |
| 127 | * AffablyEvil: Ejra in ''Splinter'' is only arguably evil--and the roleplay didn't run long enough for him to develop much--but he is far from benevolent. An ostensibly pleasant, CrazyPrepared but aging assassin with lilting speech patterns and a penchant for {{Midsentence Subject Change}}s, Ejra's motives are never fully revealed, but he is certainly up to no good. |
| 128 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: ''Always''. ''Tales Of The Hearrte'' in particular seems to ''run'' on this trope. Our take on ChandlersLaw, instead of "When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand," is "When in doubt, introduce a new stratum of even more powerful metaphysical beings. [[BeyondTheImpossible God is no limit]]." |
| 129 | ** When ''Affairs'' begins, the most powerful beings in the story are wizards who have found their [[SuperpowerLottery Hearrtes]]. |
| 130 | ** Then [[TheDarkArts thaumaturgy]] is introduced, which allows characters to make a DealWithTheDevil, with all the [[PowerAtAPrice drawbacks that usually implies]]. |
| 131 | ** Then comes The Wraith, a more-or-less willing FlyingDutchman with a CoolAirship that is ''made'' of stolen Hearrtes, giving him [[AllYourPowersCombined All Their Powers Combined]]. |
| 132 | ** Then the defeated EvilSorcerer comes back to life as one-third of Tsefos, the [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils most powerful demon]] in [[{{Hell}} Nekhril]]. |
| 133 | ** Then we are introduced to the Wards, {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s of the ten virtues of [[UsefulNotes/{{Kabbalah}} the Sefirot]], who exist solely to maintain balance in the world, and who were granted their powers by the {{God}} of this world. |
| 134 | ** Then come the Latter Gods, a group of demigods who arose after the First Apocalypse and represent specific human emotions. |
| 135 | ** Then Astrine, the [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent Innocent Amnesiac]], remembers that she actually ''is'' Merquiess, a pastiche of GaiasVengeance and {{God}} (and thus she created the Wards). |
| 136 | ** Then it turns out that Merquiess, an Archangel, is capable of turning dead souls into other Archangels. These Archangels do not have the intrinsic bond with the world that Merquiess has as its creator, but they are otherwise equal to her in power. She turns Aer d'Mors into one after he is murdered. [[FaceHeelTurn Then Aer becomes]] {{Satan}}. |
| 137 | ** Then we are introduced to Daos, the ur-godlike being who created ''Merquiess'', as well as all the other Gods of all other possible worlds. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), the roleplay petered out before we had a chance to introduce some kind of Ur-Ur-God, or really explore Daos very much. |
| 138 | * AnotherDimension[=/=]AlternateUniverse: A staple of mine, not omnipresent but pretty frequent. |
| 139 | ** I had one story that took place in a kind of {{Multiverse}} where each world was a shard of a shattered Ur-world, all reflecting each other infinitely. A little reminiscent of the cosmology of ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfAmber'', but centered around a "broken mirror" theme. |
| 140 | ** ''Tales of the Hearrte'' also spawned[=/=]inspired at least two alternate worlds. |
| 141 | *** There was an abortive roleplay called ''Splinter'' which took place in an AlternateUniverse that featured most of the same characters, albeit with totally unrelated social status, personalities, relationships; really all they had in common with their ''Hearrtes'' counterparts was their names and appearances. |
| 142 | *** My ongoing-but-stalled story ''Heaven'' took place in what would have later been [[TheReveal Revealed]] to be a sister-world to Vretoaz, caught in an eternal back-and-forth of total apocalypse and gradual resurgence of humanity, inspired by the prosperity see-saw of the dual-world of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''. The only solid link between the two stories would have been Sito Midas (name not set in stone), who was planned to be an enigmatic, [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] MadOracle later [[TheReveal Revealed]] to be Aer d'Mors, the self-made [[{{Satan}} Devil]] from ''Hearrtes''. |
| 143 | * AnyoneCanDie: But since DeathIsCheap, they will probably return as an angel, demon, {{Satan}}, [[AGodAmI God]], or they will turn out to have been an AnthropomorphicPersonification of [[GaiasVengeance the world]] all along. |
| 144 | * ColonCancer: It's not precisely ''common'', but I feel the title of ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Legend of Final Fable Zero: The Belkan War--Combat Evolved Over Normandy'' merits a mention for ''almost'' avoiding it--but that em dash is pretty damning. |
| 145 | * DespairEventHorizon: This is what turns Aer d'Mors into an OmnicidalManiac who attempts to [[ApocalypseHow/{{Class4}} flood the planet of Vretoaz]], and later, inspires him to take over the demon realm and turn it into Hell, with him as its [[{{Satan}} Devil]]. Crossing the Horizon is usually what turns my main characters from {{Wangst}}y [[ClassicalAntiHero Classical Anti-Heroes]] into [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned]] {{Satanic Archetype}}s or {{Tragic Villain}}s. |
| 146 | * FauxAffablyEvil: After Aer d'Mors goes through his OmnicidalManiac phase in ''Trials of the Hearrte'', he becomes this in the sequel. He is no less insane--he is [[{{Satan}} the Devil]], after all, and honestly believes he's saving souls--but he enjoys frequent [[WickedCultured nights at the opera]] with his ArchNemesis, the ProHumanTranshuman and self-styled "Artificial God" Morceau. He easily [[VillainousBreakdown loses his cool]], though, when Morceau [[YouMonster points out]] that Aer is a [[TheSociopath Sociopath]] and a CompleteMonster. |
| 147 | * KudzuPlot: Mostly due to my gratuitous use of ChandlersLaw to resolve {{Voodoo Shark}}s with ''more'' {{Voodoo Shark}}s. |
| 148 | * MagicAIsMagicA: A definite staple of my fantasy works, often even shoehorned into fan works based on works that ''don't'' use it, like ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''. ''Affairs Of The Hearrte'' took it UpToEleven with angelic power (which also turned out to be the source of the Hearrtes' power; demonic power also turned out to be a corrupted form of angelic power), magick (based on ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' magic), thaumaturgy ([[DealWithTheDevil summoning and compelling demons to do one's will]]), the nebulous and downplayed RealityWarper abilities of the Wards, and [[TopGod whatever the hell Daos was capable of]], all of which (except for the Wards and the unexplored abilities of Daos) were thoroughly fleshed-out and kept as consistent as possible within their own terms. |
| 149 | * PrecisionFStrike: One of the prime indicators that either a VillainousBreakdown or a FaceHeelTurn is imminent. |
| 150 | * ShoutOut: Practically a hobby of mine. |
| 151 | ** The name of the ''Tales of the Hearrte'' series of roleplays is a ShoutOut to the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries''. |
| 152 | ** The ''gitacrs'' (pronounced "zhi-TARKS", singular "''gitacr''") are the [[GlobalAirship Rheiards]] from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' in [[BlandNameProduct all but name]]. |
| 153 | ** Also on the subject of the ''gitacrs'', their name is a subtle nod to the Grabacr Squadron of ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar''. |
| 154 | ** The entire system of Magick, as well as the ElementsOfNature that makes it up, is based on the weaving motif from the ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' series. |
| 155 | ** Aer's Hearrte is essentially a pastiche of the ''Literature/ArsGoetia'' and ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum''. With it, he is able to summon any of the demons described within and compel them to use their powers on his behalf--[[DealWithTheDevil for a price]]. |
| 156 | ** Not my character, but the Wraith who shows up early in ''Affairs'' is inspired by the historical Jack Rackham, and if I remember correctly, bears the same name. |
| 157 | ** I feel compelled to point out that I have a strong dislike for the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series, and [[CanisLatinicus Aer d'Mors]]' name is ''not'' a deliberate reference to the Wind of Death. |
| 158 | ** The last chapter (an over-the-top joke chapter) of ''The Legend of Zelda: The Conqueror'' contains the line, "[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Coffee? Gee, thanks,]] [[Film/TheSkydivers that's better than sex!]]" |
| 159 | ** I have an infrequently-recurring world named "Vaatz", the name of which is a nod to Ziani Vaatzes, the main character from Creator/KJParker's ''Engineer Trilogy''. |
| 160 | * ThemeNaming: One unintentional pattern I've noticed is that my main characters' names will often start with "A" (probably because [[AuthorAppeal my own name starts with "A"]]). My more deliberate (and blatant) uses of this trope include the virtues of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Kabbalah}} Sefirot]], elements[=/=]natural phenomena, the Latin terms for the SevenDeadlySins, and others. |
| 161 | * UniversalAdaptorCast: I rarely transplant my ''entire'' stable of characters into a new setting, but I only infrequently come up with entirely new characters. Instead, I tend to recycle characters to varying degrees. This can range from merely applying a recycled name to a new character, to [[ReusedCharacterDesign Reusing a Character Design]], all the way up to a blatant {{Expy}} or CaptainErsatz of a previous character, and that's only if the canon doesn't allow for them to explicitly be the same character. |
| 162 | ** Sito Midas was one of my first characters, and possibly ''the'' first. Originated in a Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda fanfiction, in which he was a BlackMage with a HairTriggerTemper whose story revolved around [[OrphansOrdeal tracking down his parents' murderer]]. I used him less and less, and amusingly, as time passed, the ''character'' changed from a hotheaded young spellcaster to a wizened old EccentricMentor. The details that have stayed the same include his black hair, green eyes, pale skin, tall and thin stature, penchant for black robes with gold piping, and a tendency to keep {{Familiar}}s (including, to date: a [[SapientSteed telepathic horse]], a [[{{Animorphism}} man who could transform into a dog]] for no plot-relevant reason, and a [[BreadEggsMilkSquick winged rodent skeleton]] named Keski). |
| 163 | ** Yachesen and Yachesa (virtually always used as a pair) are probably my most consistent ReusedCharacterDesign. They pop up infrequently, but when they do, their design is very reliable: CreepyTwins, StrawVulcan [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Boy]], [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]] with a HairTriggerTemper, both have long silver hair, both are usually very [[MysticalWhiteHair talented with magic]] though Yachesen is [[MagicIsMental usually the more powerful]], and they are usually [[WhiteHairBlackHeart evil or at least antagonists]]. |
| 164 | ** Luseik is part of an extremely convoluted group of names including Luseik, Tseik, Tsefos, and Tsefora, and other variations. He began life as Luseik Kusefora, the [[HalfHumanHybrid half-man, half-dragon]] [[Literature/BlackJewels Warlord Prince]] of Dachrea, but in most of my subsequent works, he has been an aspect of {{God}} in mythologies which have either a two- or three-part God. He also serves directly as {{God}} in some works that have a monotheistic mythology, usually as Tseik instead of Luseik. However, Luseik/Tseik being a singular {{God}} usually only happens in works that heavily feature parallel worlds, as one of my works [[RetCon Ret-Conned]] Luseik/Tseik's name to come from a word in a nonexistent ConLang that signifies reflected light, and the world was one that was broken into countless "shards" that reflected each other. As mentioned, his name was originally Luseik Kusefora, which was as meaningless as it sounds. I later [[RetCon Ret-Conned]] it to be a corrupted combination of Luth+Tseik and Kuth+Tsefos. Tseik was the [[GodIsGood Good God]] and Luth meant "fire", while Tsefos was the Devil and Kuth meant "ice", and Luseik Kusefora was the true form of God, the combination of Tseik and Tsefos that had been splintered when the world was shattered. In exactly ''one'' work, Tseik was one-half of a SatanicArchetype, along with his female counterpart, Tsefora (herself being the female version of Tsefos), opposed directly by Merque and Merquiess playing the part of {{God}}. But when there is only one aspect of {{God}}, I tend to use either Merque or Merquiess. Which brings me to... |
| 165 | ** Merque[=/=]Merquiess is, quite simply, {{God}}. Most of my works use only one or the other, but a few use them ''both'' as masculine and feminine deities that rule jointly. The most notable use was Merquiess as a combination {{God}}[=/=]GaiasVengeance in the ''Tales of the Hearrte'' roleplay series. |
| 166 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Many of my antagonists fall under this trope. |
| 167 | ** In the backstory of ''Heaven'' (working title), Masum is a [[ChildProdigy remarkably talented young mage]] whose father pisses off the King and gets [[UriahGambit sent on a suicide mission]] to be killed by a race of hostile, nomadic savages. When his mother is DrivenToSuicide, Masum uses his {{Angst}} to [[TheDeterminator fuel his magical studies]]. He [[TeenGenius not only excels]] at the generally accepted magic taught to all military [[MagicalSociety Silver Circle]] mages, but also gets into TheDarkArts. Then, without warning, he disappears, and resurfaces years later as an EvilOverlord who has subjugated the same nomadic savages and now intends to use them to overrun his homeland and murder the king. He's not particularly interested in [[AndThenWhat what happens after that]]. What makes him WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, rather than just a JerkassWoobie is the fact that in his studies of TheDarkArts, he unintentionally breaches the [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds Veil]] and allows a couple of [[SpacetimeEater universe-eating]] {{Eldritch Abomination}}s to enter the world, one of which possesses him and makes him even more of a CompleteMonster. |
| 168 | ** ''Power'' was about a young wizard whose tenuous grasp of magic led him to [[MentorOccupationalHazard unintentionally kill his mentor]], which pushed him over the DespairEventHorizon and turned him into an OmnicidalManiac. (In his defense, this is also in a world where [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity only the most careful and talented of mages can use magic without being corrupted by the dead spirits that make it work]].) At the end, after conquering the known world, he [[DeadPersonConversation meets the ghost of his dead mentor]], has a HeelRealization, and is DrivenToSuicide out of [[DeathEqualsRedemption remorse for his actions]]. |
| 169 | ** The poster boy for this trope in my work is Aer d'Mors, who began life as a {{Wangst}}y teenage wizard with [[OedipusComplex daddy issues]] (granted, his daddy was an [[ObviouslyEvil Obviously]] EvilSorcerer and an [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]]), and went through the following stages: |
| 170 | ### A kind of willing FlyingDutchman known as the Wraith (given to him by the previous Wraith) |
| 171 | ### PhysicalGod (after being murdered by a minor character and then brought back by {{God}}[=/=]GaiasVengeance) |
| 172 | ### OmnicidalManiac (when his still-living girlfriend refused to come and be a PhysicalGod with him) |
| 173 | ### And finally, {{Satan}}. |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | !!My works include (This section is a work in progress. Note that most of this can be found online. I'll provide links later.): |
| 176 | !!! Fan Works (available on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/833494/The-Great-and-Powerful-Keski fanfiction.net]])[[note]]Most of these are {{Dead Fic}}s. ''The Legend of Zelda: Finality'' and ''Ace Combat: Restitution'' are the only completed stories. Finality is a ShortStory with a SequelHook, while ''Restitution'' is four chapters long and straddles the line between ShortStory and {{Novella}}.[[/note]][[#fanwork]] |
| 177 | * ''The Legend of Zelda: The Conqueror'': A sequel to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' co-authored with [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/611698/Nathaniel-Shepard Nathaniel Shepard]]. He conceptualized the story and plot, while I did most of the writing and editing/proofreading.[[note]]The fic makes three major statements about the canon of the game: That Link obtains the Fierce Deity Mask, that he uses it for each boss battle, and that he uses it during the final battle. And, of course, everything that happens in the game after the final battle is altered by this fic.[[/note]] It begins during the final battle of ''Majora's Mask'', when Link dons the Fierce Deity Mask and [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] Majora's Mask. The premise of the fic is that the Majora's Mask houses a super-scary evil being known as Majora, but Riend, the being trapped inside the Fierce Deity Mask is ''even worse''. It possesses Link when he dons the mask the fifth time (to fight Majora), having extended its influence enough to take control of him. Then it beats the shit out of Majora, and proceeds to conquer most of the world using Link's body, and Termina as a base of operations. And that's just the prologue. The story proper follows Mera, a Shiekah-in-training. Stuff happens. After a prologue and five chapters, the fic petered out, and then I added a purely comedic Chapter XIX for no good reason. |
| 178 | * The "series" never had a name, but since it all grew out of ''Finality'', I'll call it the ''Finality'' series/trilogy. They are ordered here in the order I wrote them, but the timeline is ''Parable'', then ''Finality'', then ''Final Fable Zero''. While the series is pretty undeniably a crossover, ''Finality'' is almost entirely inspired by ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', while ''Parable'' is almost entirely inspired by ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}''. Thus, that's how they're categorized on the site. |
| 179 | ** ''The Legend of Zelda: Finality'': A short story that follows a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Several Thousand Years Old]] vagrant named Luseik through his exploration of a run-down, decrepit, abandoned Hyrule Castle Town (based on as it appeared in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''), reminiscing about the Golden Age (just prior to and during the events of ''Ocarina'') and wishing his girlfriend wasn't dead. The SequelHook reveals that he and Link are both [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} Heroes]], and Luseik most likely spent the intervening millennia in Albion. As to the sequel itself, well... |
| 180 | ** ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Legend of Final Fable Zero: The Belkan War--Combat Evolved Over Normandy'': A comedic (in case that wasn't clear) and brief account of Luseik's and Link's misadventures in Albion following the events of ''Finality''... for about five minutes, and then it follows Bruce[=/=]Amy, who is also the true identity of [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief]] as well as [[VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar Cipher]]. It's a rapid-fire crossover of '''all''' [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy of]] [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda the]] [[VideoGame/{{Fable}} works]] [[VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar referenced]] [[Franchise/{{Halo}} in its]] [[VideoGame/SecretWeaponsOverNormandy title]] (except for ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''). |
| 181 | ** ''Parable'': After ''Final Fable Zero'' petered out I decided to take the story seriously, but first I went back to write a prequel to ''Finality''. Taking place an unspecified (but significant) amount of time after Luseik's exile from Hyrule, but still long before his return, it appears that ''Parable'' will parallel the timeline of ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}''--but early on, a teleportation spell gone awry causes Luseik to go through a TimeSkip to the end of the main game, when the Guild is destroyed. If the fic had continued, Luseik would have tried to track down the game's hero because a magic voice in his head told him to. The fic didn't last long enough to really get to the plot. Also, it had been some time since playing the game when I wrote the fic, as evidenced by some pretty JustForFun/{{Egregious}} errors, such as referring to Maze as the Guildmaster. ''Also'' also, I had never played The Lost Chapters at the time, so who knows what influence that might have had--such as the Guild not being ''quite'' destroyed. |
| 182 | * ''VideoGame/AceCombat: Restitution'': A four-part fanfiction of the entire Ace Combat series, primarily the [[VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies fourth]], [[VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar fifth]], and [[VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar zeroth]] installments. In short, the fanfic suggests that the main character of each game is actually ''the same person each time'', and that he is actually an artificial intelligence secretly placed into wars on whatever side his handlers want to put at an advantage. The story also suggests that the longer "Ace" is active, the more unstable his mind becomes (a la [[ArtificialIntelligence AI]] rampancy as described in the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' universe), until eventually he has to be shut down and rebooted through a process referred to as [[TitleDrop restitution]]. TheReveal shows that the entire fic has been a DyingDream, Ace's mind forcing him to relive memories as they are wiped in preparation for a reload. |
| 183 | ** An unfinished prequel, ''The Fall of Estoque'', was about a squadron full of Ace-prototypes. Whereas ''Restitution'' never explicitly stated whether Ace was simply a program or a full-fledged [[BrainUploading Uploaded Brain]], the protagonists of ''Estoque'' were all [[TestedOnHumans prison inmates with life-sentences]] who had had their [[IdentityAmnesia memories wiped clean]] and [[FakeMemories new ones implanted]] to hide the fact that they were living in something akin to Franchise/TheMatrix. ''Estoque'' also introduced Primary Equipment Design, the [[MegaCorp massive and sinister corporation]] running the program, which is also implied to be responsible for slipping Ace into various conflicts as a game-changer for nearly every war in the ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' series. |
| 184 | * ''The Fourth Realm'': My longest-running work, a ''Literature/BlackJewels'' fanfiction based around the idea of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a fourth Realm]] called Dachrea cut off from the familiar three, populated by [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Human Hybrids]] and [[NonhumanHumanoidHybrid Non-Human Humanoid Hybrids]], primarily draghans (half-human, half-dragon), wehrs ([[WolfMan half-human, half-wolf]]), and gejke (not a hybrid, but rather a kind of solid, {{Shapeshifting}} LivingShadow with an [[NeverGrewUp eternally childlike mentality]]). A couple of dragons from Dachrea plot to invade the main three Realms, while draghan Warlord Prince Luseik and his AntiMagic girlfriend Anna gradually become aware of the scheme and attempt to foil it. Many of my most frequently {{Reused Character Design}}s originated or were codified in this work, including Luseik, a ByronicHero with a small degree of TheDulcineaEffect; Kreethen, an AxCrazy PsychopathicManchild; Yachesen and Yachesa, a pair of CreepyTwins consisting of an [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Boy]] and a [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]]; and a few others. |
| 185 | !!! Roleplay[[#rp]] |
| 186 | * ''Tales of the Hearrte'': A fantasy roleplay in three parts (the third of which was declared non-canon due to a long TimeSkip between it and the preceeding works, which led to self-admitted TheyChangedItNowItSucks). |
| 187 | ## ''Affairs of the Hearrte'': Introduced the [[SingleBiomePlanet desert world]] of Vretoaz and brought a RagtagBunchOfMisfits together to quest for their Hearrtes, which are unique magical artifacts, one of which exists for each person and grants its owner a [[SuperpowerLottery unique ability]]. The heroes meet the Wraith, a kind of willing FlyingDutchman who flies around Vretoaz on his CoolAirship--also called the Wraith--which is made entirely of stolen Hearrtes and grants him [[AllYourPowersCombined All Their Powers Combined]]. My main character was Aer d'Mors, who is chosen by the Wraith to be [[LegacyCharacter the next Wraith]]. Aer's father, the EvilSorcerer Rivus, is the BigBad. After the heroes beat his ass (but not before a DealWithTheDevil costs Aer [[AnArmAndALeg An Arm]]), things settle down. |
| 188 | ## ''Trials of the Hearrte'': The sequel to ''Affairs'' begins some time later, with Aer as a reclusive, paranoid hermit, surrounded by AmbiguouslyEvil retainers. The plot gets pretty [[KudzuPlot convoluted]]. An [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent Innocent Amnesiac]], Astrine, turns out to be Merquiess: Half-{{God}}, half GaiasVengeance. Rivus comes back as one-third of a [[BigBadDuumvirate demonic triumvirate]] that also consists of the most powerful demon in [[{{Hell}} Nehkril]] and Rivus' own corrupted, demonic SuperpoweredEvilSide (keep in mind, this is the SuperpoweredEvilSide of a character who is ''already'' pretty damn powerful and evil). We're introduced to the Latter Gods, who have been vying for power ever since Merquiess [[IdentityAmnesia forgot who she was]] after the First Apocalypse. We also meet the Wards, {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s of the virtues of [[UsefulNotes/{{Kabbalah}} the Sefirot]], who Merquiess created during the First Apocalypse to help the Wraith SaveTheWorld, but who lost their purpose after that was all done, and decided to try to [[TrueNeutral maintain balance between extremes]] in the world. Eventually, Aer is murdered by a minor character, and is resurrected by Merquiess as a PhysicalGod to be her divine NumberTwo. Instead, from his new divine perspective, he [[GoMadFromTheRevelation Goes Mad From The Revelation]] that he lives in a CrapsackWorld and decides to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy it in a flood]], drag everyone to [[{{Hell}} Nehkril]], and [[WellIntentionedExtremist fix everything and everyone]] with a few billion years of [[AndIMustScream nonstop torture]]. When he appears to his still-living girlfriend and she refuses to come [[WeCanRuleTogether rule Nehkril with him]], he is [[HeelRealization convinced to stop the flood]], and then retreats to Nehkril, where he stays for a few thousand years. |
| 189 | !!! Unpublished Literature (available on [[http://solipsism-syndrome.deviantart.com/ deviantART]])[[#origlit]] |
| 190 | ---- |
| 191 | !!My Favorite Works[[labelnote:gratuitously-long explanatory note]]Works are sorted as follows: First, by medium, which are alphabetized. Within media, works are sorted alphabetically by title, ''except'' when a number of works are grouped under a single creator, in which case they are alphabetized by the creator's family/surname. (One major inconsistency is that, within creator groups, works are ''either'' sorted chronologically ''or'' alphabetically by the work's name, with no real pattern for which is which. Eventually I will sort them all chronologically.) For example, under {{Anime}}, ''Anime/TokyoGodfathers'' is listed under "K" for Creator/SatoshiKon, so it comes before ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'', which is listed under "L" for its own name. But ''Anime/{{Monster}}'' comes after ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'', because it is also listed under "M" for its own name. There is no real reason for this haphazard, arbitrary, and inconsistent sorting convention, except that I prefer to keep works by my favorite creators together because that's how I think of them. I don't think of them as ''Film/BattleRoyale'' and ''Film/KillBill'' and ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' and ''Film/ReservoirDogs''--I think of ''Film/BattleRoyale'' and "three(ish) Tarantino films".[[/labelnote]]:[[#favwork]] |

| 204 | ** ''Anime/PerfectBlue'' (One of my favorite films of any genre.) |
| 205 | ** ''Anime/TokyoGodfathers'' |
| 206 | * ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'' [[note]](Really just the main series, though some of the side stuff isn't bad.)[[/note]] |
| 207 | * Most of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki's work, including: |

| 209 | ** ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService'' |
| 210 | ** ''[[Anime/CastleInTheSky Laputa: Castle In The Sky]]'' |
| 211 | ** ''Anime/LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberland'' [[note]]It may be an OldShame for him, but for me it's one of my absolute best childhood memories. I still love occasionally rewatching it.[[/note]] |
| 212 | ** ''[[Anime/PrincessMononoke Mononoke Hime]]'' [[note]]My absolute favorite Miyazaki film and one of my favorite films in general. Call me a pedant for [[PotHole Pot Holing]] the title, but I much prefer the Japanese title; it feels more in tune with the film, whereas ''Princess Mononoke'' sounds like a sequel to ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}''.[[/note]] |
| 213 | ** ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'' |
| 214 | ** ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' |
| 215 | ** ''Anime/PorcoRosso'' |

| 221 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' |
| 222 | ** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' |
| 223 | * The anime of ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' [[note]](I felt it got worse with each successive installment, but it was still one of the best shows out there. I'd say it went from a perfect 10/10 in the first season down to maybe a 7/10 by the end.)[[/note]] |
| 224 | * The anime of ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'' |
| 225 | [[/folder]] |
| 226 | [[folder:Film]] |
| 227 | * The entire ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' series, ''not'' including anything to do with ''Franchise/{{Predator}}''. |
| 228 | ## ''Film/{{Alien}}'' [[note]](My personal favorite; ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' was very good, but what I love about the series is how effectively it blends ScienceFiction with {{Horror}}, and the original film simply does it best.)[[/note]] |
| 229 | ## ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' |
| 230 | ## ''Film/{{Alien 3}}'' [[note]](This one really only merits a place on the list by virtue of being part of the series, but I don't think that would surprise anyone who has seen it.)[[/note]] |
| 231 | ## ''Film/AlienResurrection'' |
| 232 | * ''Film/BattleRoyale'' |
| 233 | * ''Film/{{Interstellar}}'' [[note]]I very rarely pass judgment on a film immediately after seeing it, especially in a theater, because the whole experience of seeing a movie in a theater enhances it and make one more likely to look favorably on a film that may not deserve it. I made an exception for ''Interstellar''. This movie was fucking incredible.[[/note]] |
| 234 | * Anything by Creator/StanleyKubrick, though I haven't seen all of his work. The ones I've seen (and love) include: |
| 235 | ** ''Film/{{Lolita}}'' |
| 236 | ** ''Film/DrStrangelove'' |
| 237 | ** ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' |
| 238 | ** ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' |
| 239 | ** ''Film/FullMetalJacket'' |
| 240 | * ''Film/TheMatrix'' [[note]](I have a perverse fondness for the whole trilogy, but ''The Matrix'' is the only one I'd really put on this list.)[[/note]] |
| 241 | * ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' |
| 242 | * '''Everything''' directed by Creator/QuentinTarantino: |
| 243 | ** ''Film/ReservoirDogs'' [[note]](My favorite Tarantino film and one of my favorite films in general)[[/note]] |
| 244 | ** ''Film/PulpFiction'' [[note]](Far from my favorite, but still a great film)[[/note]] |
| 245 | ** ''Film/JackieBrown'' |
| 246 | ** ''Film/KillBill'' |
| 247 | ** ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' [[note]](Creator/ChristophWaltz blows my mind in this film.)[[/note]] |
| 248 | ** ''Film/DjangoUnchained'' |
| 249 | ** ''Film/TheHatefulEight'' [[note]]Which I saw on Christmas morning in all its 70mm roadshow glory. Unusually for a Tarantino film, while I loved the acting and writing and cinematography and basically the whole damn thing, the ''music'' was easily the best thing about the film for me. It has a ''spectacular'' score.[[/note]] |
| 250 | [[/folder]] |
| 251 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 252 | * Everything by R. Scott Bakker, including: |
| 253 | ** ''Literature/DiscipleOfTheDog'' (Probably my least favorite, but still a solid novel.) |
| 254 | ** ''Literature/{{Neuropath}}'' (This book is amazing.) |
| 255 | ** ''[[Literature/SecondApocalypse The Second Apocalypse]]'' [[note]](Easily my favorite fantasy series. I can talk about the Second Apocalypse for ''hours''.)[[/note]] |
| 256 | ### ''The Prince of Nothing'' |
| 257 | #### ''The Darkness That Comes Before'' |
| 258 | #### ''The Warrior-Prophet'' [[note]](I think I'm going to get a tattoo inspired by this book: The Circumfix, the in-universe version of the Crucifix, is a ring that the DarkMessiah is bound to and hung from a tree for several days, in his version of the Crucifixion. It basically looks like [[Creator/LeonardoDaVinci da Vinci's]] Vitruvian Man, but upside down and without the extra limbs, black or red silhouette on a white background. In the books, the symbol is usually red on white.)[[/note]] |
| 259 | #### ''The Thousandfold Thought'' |
| 260 | ### ''The Aspect-Emperor'' |
| 261 | #### ''The Judging Eye'' |
| 262 | #### ''The White-Luck Warrior'' |
| 263 | * ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' by Creator/AlexandreDumas. |
| 264 | * Everything I've read so far by Creator/GregEgan, which amounts to: |
| 265 | ** ''Literature/{{Quarantine}}'' (1992)[[note]]Our page for this book is stubbly, poorly-formatted, and has some factual inaccuracies about the book, particularly its climax/ending. On top of that, it shares its title with a few works in other namespaces and I'd really like to separate them. I intend to revamp that page and the subpages that share its name as my next project.[[/note]] |
| 266 | ** ''Literature/PermutationCity'' (1994) |
| 267 | ** ''Literature/{{Distress}}'' (1995) |
| 268 | ** ''Literature/{{Diaspora}}'' (1997) |
| 269 | ** ''Literature/{{Teranesia}}'' (1999) |
| 270 | ** ''Literature/SchildsLadder'' (2002) |
| 271 | ** ''Literature/{{Incandescence}}'' (2008) |
| 272 | ** ''Literature/{{Zendegi}}'' (2010) |
| 273 | ** ''Literature/{{Orthogonal}}'' |
| 274 | ### ''The Clockwork Rocket'' (2011) |
| 275 | ### ''The Eternal Flame'' (2012) |
| 276 | ### ''The Arrows of Time'' (2013)[[note]](I had high expectations, but despite that, the conclusion to this trilogy ''still'' really impressed me. I suppose I should have expected something like that ending, given that the trilogy features functional TimeTravel and a loving reconstruction of ClarkesThirdLaw, but still. Damn. That's the first time that I've been choked up by [[TimeTravel Time-Traveling]], {{Shapeshifting}} StarfishAliens from AnotherDimension.)[[/note]] |
| 277 | ** ''[[Literature/TheFourThousandTheEightHundred The Four Thousand, The Eight Hundred]]'' (2015) |
| 278 | ** ''Literature/{{Dichronauts}}'' (2017) |
| 279 | ** ...plus a number of his short stories, my favorites so far being "The Singleton"[[note]]which introduced the Quantum Singleton Processor, or "Qusp", that would later feature heavily in ''Schild's Ladder''[[/note]], "Crystal Nights"[[note]]which shares a couple of its major themes with ''Permutation City'', almost certainly ''not'' by accident[[/note]], "The Hundred Light-Year Diary"[[note]]The "sending information back in time" idea was later rehashed differently in ''The Arrows of Time''[[/note]], "Axiomatic"[[note]]The neural implants, or "axiomatics", of this story would later return almost unchanged in ''Quarantine'' as "neural mods"[[/note]] and "The Planck Dive", in no particular order. |
| 280 | * Creator/FrankHerbert's original six ''Literature/{{Dune}}'' novels. [[note]]I may eventually start reading his son's continuation of the series, but I doubt it; I'm happy with where the original books ended, and I'm touchy about people continuing dead authors' works.[[/note]] |
| 281 | ## ''Literature/{{Dune}}''[[note]]Might be my favorite of the series. ''Children of Dune'' is a strong contender, but come on, this is the original. This is where the legend began.[[/note]] |
| 282 | ## ''Literature/DuneMessiah'' |
| 283 | ## ''Literature/ChildrenOfDune''[[note]]Might be my favorite of the series, although the original novel obviously has a very strong claim to that title. They're both excellent.[[/note]] |
| 284 | ## ''Literature/GodEmperorOfDune''[[note]]I do think the series started to go downhill at this point. The previous trilogy was very philosophical, but had engaging plots in which... well, stuff happened. This book was practically one [[ContemplateOurNavels nonstop monologue by the titular God-Emperor]] and then [[spoiler:he gets assassinated]]. Whoop-dee-doo.[[/note]] |
| 285 | ## ''Literature/HereticsOfDune'' |
| 286 | ## ''Literature/ChapterhouseDune'' |
| 287 | * ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', by Creator/GeorgeOrwell, is probably my favorite novel. |
| 288 | * Everything I've read by Creator/KJParker: |
| 289 | ** ''The Engineer'' Trilogy[[note]]This was my introduction to Parker, and remains one of my favorite stories. Some very compelling characters and a deliciously biting wit telling the story.[[/note]] |
| 290 | ### ''Devices and Desires'' |
| 291 | ### ''Evil for Evil'' |
| 292 | ### ''The Escapement'' |
| 293 | ** ''The Company'' |
| 294 | ** ''Purple and Black''[[note]]An absolutely ''brilliant'' novella that I hold up as a shining example of the medium.[[/note]] |
| 295 | ** ''Literature/TheFoldingKnife'' |
| 296 | ** ''Blue and Gold''[[note]]Another great novella.[[/note]] |
| 297 | ** ''The Hammer'' |
| 298 | ** ''Literature/{{Sharps}}'' |
| 299 | * Brian Ruckley's ''Literature/TheGodlessWorldTrilogy''. |
| 300 | ## ''Winterbirth'' |
| 301 | ## ''Bloodheir'' |
| 302 | ## ''Fall of Thanes'' |
| 303 | * Everything I've read by Creator/VernorVinge. |
| 304 | ** ''Literature/TheWitling'' |
| 305 | ** ''[[Literature/TatjaGrimmsWorld Tatja Grimm's World]]'' |
| 306 | ** ''Literature/TrueNames'' |
| 307 | ** ''Literature/ZonesOfThought'' |
| 308 | ### ''A Fire Upon the Deep'' |
| 309 | ### ''A Deepness in the Sky'' |
| 310 | ### ''The Children of the Sky'' |
| 311 | ** ''Literature/RainbowsEnd''[[note]]I was actually a little disappointed with this as a Vernor Vinge novel because I hold him to a higher standard than most other authors (a distinction he has earned by writing a lot of outstanding work), but if I judge him by fairer standards, it ''was'' very good.[[/note]] |
| 312 | [[/folder]] |
| 313 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 314 | * ''Series/{{Alias}}''[[note]]Despite my earlier TakeThat. I do think the show went drastically downhill in later seasons due to the GenreShift from ScienceFiction to the bare edge of {{Fantasy}}, but I still love the show's unapologetic KudzuPlot.[[/note]] |
| 315 | * ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003''[[note]]I was not particularly impressed with ''Series/{{Caprica}}''. It was all right, but it had too many shortcomings for me to really call it great. I can't really say I regret its early cancellation.[[/note]] |
| 316 | * ''Series/BreakingBad'' |
| 317 | * ''Series/{{Broadchurch}}'' |
| 318 | * ''Series/BurnNotice'' [[note]]Don't @ me. I'm fully aware of how goofy this show is. I don't care. It's great nonetheless.[[/note]] |
| 319 | * ''Series/{{Community}}'' [[note]]...and I try not to be this grandiose, generally speaking, but I honestly think that the fifth episode of the second season, [[Recap/CommunityS2E05MessianicMythsAndAncientPeoples "Messianic Myths and Ancient Peoples"]], might actually be the best episode of any show ever filmed.[[/note]] |
| 320 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'', obviously.[[note]]I'm caught up on New Who, and I'm working my way through Classic Who. As of this writing, I am nearing the end of the Fifth Doctor's run. For missing episodes, I watched the reconstructions, so yes, I have seen ''everything'' that is available up to this point.[[/note]] |
| 321 | * ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' (and ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', of course) |
| 322 | * ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' |
| 323 | * ''Series/{{House}}'' [[note]](Up until around Season 4 or 5. The first three seasons were easily the best.)[[/note]] |
| 324 | * ''Series/HouseOfCardsUS'' |
| 325 | * ''Series/MadMen'' |
| 326 | * ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' [[note]]I'm not entirely sure that it belongs under Live-Action TV, but it's hard to categorize.[[/note]] |
| 327 | * The American remake of ''Series/QueerAsFolk'' |
| 328 | * ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' |
| 329 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' [[note]](Mostly the first five seasons or so. It tripped in silly somewhere in the Apocalypse arc and never quite got back up after that.)[[/note]] |
| 330 | * ''Series/TheThickOfIt'' |
| 331 | * ''Series/{{Veep}}'' |

| 373 | * ''[[VideoGame/AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAAARecklessDisregardForGravity AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard For Gravity]]'' |
| 374 | * Most of the numbered ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' games, but particularly: |
| 375 | ** ''VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies'' |
| 376 | ** ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'' (My favorite story in the series [[note]]and in fact one of my favorite games of ''any'' genre in terms of story[[/note]].) |
| 377 | ** ''VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar'' (My favorite gameplay in the series.) |
| 378 | ** ''VideoGame/AceCombat6FiresOfLiberation'' |
| 379 | * All of the the main series ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' games, including: |
| 380 | ** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'' |
| 381 | ** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'' |
| 382 | *** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'' |
| 383 | *** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' |
| 384 | ** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'' |
| 385 | *** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIIILiberation'' |
| 386 | ** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' |
| 387 | ** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue''[[note]]I find it absolutely hilarious that Shay, who is portrayed as a VillainProtagonist, is a far more sympathetic Templar character than Elise of ''Unity'', despite Elise being unequivocally a ''good guy''. Shay is mature and has a strong moral compass, while Elise is hot-headed, arrogant, kind of a bitch, dismissive of the character who wants nothing more than to help her (even more jarring when you realize that she's supposedly in love with him), and obsessed with revenge.[[/note]] |
| 388 | ** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' |
| 389 | ** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate'' |
| 390 | * ''VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}}'' |
| 391 | * ''VideoGame/BeatHazard'' |
| 392 | * The ''VideoGame/BioShock'' series[[note]]...except for ''VideoGame/BioShock2''. That one was so unplayable that I mostly just [[FanonDiscontinuity pretend it doesn't exist]].[[/note]] |
| 393 | ** ''VideoGame/BioShock1'' |
| 394 | ** ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' |
| 395 | * The main ''Borderlands'' series[[note]]I'm thinking of trying ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'', but it's not high on my list.[[/note]]: |
| 396 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' |
| 397 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' [[note]]Probably my favorite in the series so far. The gameplay in ''TPS'' has some definite improvements, but I just ''love'' the Mechromancer class enough to make up for the slightly less engaging gameplay.[[/note]] |
| 398 | ** ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'' |
| 399 | * ''VideoGame/DuelsOfThePlaneswalkers'' (Pretty much every version.) |
| 400 | * ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' |
| 401 | * ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'' [[note]]Haven't really played the earlier games, but 4 is spectacular.[[/note]] |
| 402 | * The games I've played in the ''VideoGame/FarCry'' series, which are: |
| 403 | ** ''VideoGame/FarCry3'' |
| 404 | ** ''VideoGame/FarCry4'' |
| 405 | ** ''VideoGame/FarCryPrimal'' |
| 406 | ** ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' |
| 407 | ** ''VideoGame/FarCryNewDawn'' |
| 408 | * Several games in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' main series, including: |
| 409 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' |
| 410 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' [[note]](I think this was my first Final Fantasy, and to date it's still my favorite by far, probably more due to my NostalgiaFilter than anything else. The visual style is dated but appealing, the music is gorgeous, and the story is simple but carries the game well.)[[/note]] |
| 411 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' |
| 412 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' [--(Don't you judge me.)--] |
| 413 | ** Honorable mention goes to the original ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles'', which I loved. |
| 414 | ** ''VideoGame/TheatrhythmFinalFantasy'' [[note]]and its sequel ''Threatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call''[[/note]] is also a guilty pleasure. |
| 415 | * ''VideoGame/{{Journey}}'' |
| 416 | * A good number of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games, including: |
| 417 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' |
| 418 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'' |
| 419 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' |
| 420 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' |
| 421 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' |
| 422 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' |
| 423 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' |
| 424 | ** ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'' |
| 425 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' |
| 426 | * ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' |
| 427 | * ''VideoGame/MariosPicross'' and other ''Picross'' games |
| 428 | * The ''Franchise/MassEffect'' Trilogy: |
| 429 | ** ''[[VideoGame/MassEffect1 Mass Effect]]'' |
| 430 | ** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' |
| 431 | ** ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' |
| 432 | * ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' |
| 433 | * ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' |
| 434 | * '''Every''' game I've played in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' [[note]]except for ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld''. As with ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' mentioned above, ''Tales of Symphonia's'' sequel was so atrocious I just [[FanonDiscontinuity pretend it doesn't exist]][[/note]]: |
| 435 | ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' |
| 436 | ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' [[note]](My first Tales game, and still my favorite by a longshot. One of my absolute favorite games. The story still impresses me after over a decade.)[[/note]] |
| 437 | ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' |
| 438 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfGraces Tales of Graces]]'' [[VideoGame/TalesOfGraces f]] |
| 439 | ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' [[note]]I'm supremely unimpressed with the plot and the characterization, although it's a nice change for the main protagonist to be a mature, reasonable young man instead of an insufferable twit--but it's like Tales of Bizarro World, because every ''other'' character is an insufferable twit instead. The gameplay is great and makes this a solid entry in the series, though.[[/note]] |
| 440 | ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'' is okay, although I haven't finished it, so maybe it will get better. It's not bad. |

| 452 | !!Mildly Amusing Things I've Said and[=/=]or Heard and Decided to Collect and Post Here in a List:[[#quotes]] |
| 453 | |
| 454 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' ''[to Tropers/{{Scorpion451}}]'' I hate you so much it loops around and becomes love. |
| 455 | |
| 456 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' ''[Opinion about whether a trope applies to a Franchise/{{Pokemon}}]'' |
| 457 | ->'''Tropers/{{Larkmarn}}:''' Yeah, [[{{Pun}} ditto]]. |
| 458 | |
| 459 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' I seem to remember reading somewhere that the rate of reproduction on Earth is so great that at its current rate, if you lined everyone on the planet up single file and marched them past you, the line would ''literally never end''. |
| 460 | ->'''Tropers/{{Bocaj}}:''' I know lines are boring but the answer is not lots of casual procreative sex |
| 461 | |
| 462 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' Wait. Wait. Isn't Dalekanium the unbreakable alloy Dalek casings are made of? |
| 463 | ->'''Tropers/TheUnsungBard:''' Don't know if I'd call it unbreakable seeing as [[Series/DoctorWho New Who]] has plenty of Daleks getting blown the fuck up. |
| 464 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' Because according to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E1DayOfTheDaleks Day of the Daleks]]", "it's a highly effective type of explosive." |
| 465 | ->'''Tropers/TheUnsungBard:''' Maybe it's more volatile in an unrefined state? |
| 466 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' FridgeLogic: Maybe that's why they're so unexpectedly good at getting blown up. They make themselves out of BOMBS. |
| 467 | |
| 468 | -->''[In the "Corrupt-a-Wish" Forum Games Thread]'' |
| 469 | ->'''Tropers/MiscellaneousSoup:''' I wish that the next poster was a weasel. They will ''not'' bite me or harm in any physical or mental way. That includes paying someone to kill me or harm me. |
| 470 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' Granted. I get into your pantry and eat some of everything, scattering the rest all around the floor; then I chew up the cushions on your couch; then I shit on the couch and pee on your coffee table. [[BaitAndSwitchComparison Then I turn into a weasel and leave]]. |
| 471 | ->'''Tropers/MiscellaneousSoup:''' XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD[[note]]Actually, the "[lol]" laughing-face emoticon was used, but that doesn't work here, so I had to make do.[[/note]] |
| 472 | |
| 473 | -->''[On Facebook]'' |
| 474 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' Got a fortune cookie with no fortune in it. So, does that mean I have no future? Like, I'm going to die soon? That's dark, Panda Express. That's really fucking dark. |
| 475 | ->'''Shawn:''' Or maybe yours is a future that cannot be predicted. |
| 476 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' I AM THE [[Literature/{{Dune}} KWISATZ HADERACH]]. |
| 477 | |
| 478 | ->'''Tropers/SolipSchism:''' ''[speaking about my boyfriend]'' I feel like I'm describing an adorable little baby except it's in its late 20s and I want to have '''sex''' with it. |
| 479 | |
| 480 | ->'''Tropers/{{Brahian1}}:''' ''[referring to ninja posters; see the paragraph near the bottom of NinjaEditor]'' holy fuck thats a lot of ninjas |

| 482 | |
| 483 | !!And Now, '''The Best Pun Ever'''[[#pun]] |
| 484 | |
| 485 | "Plateaus are the highest form of flattery." |
| 486 | -->--Tropers/RatherRandomRachel, shortly before achieving divinity |
| 487 | |
| 488 | !!Suddenly, a wild story appears![[#story]] |
| 489 | |
| 490 | In the month of July, in the year 2015, I was struck with an inexplicable compulsion to start writing a bizarre story based on Wiki/TVTropes. The story is written in anachronic order, and it's entirely possible that the "Chapter" Things don't even take place in the same continuity, and yet they are all related--they are all a part of the story. |
| 491 | |
| 492 | # [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=khm0fdto843mn37yx2uanhae&page=13727#343158 First "Chapter" Thing Here]] |
| 493 | # [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=khm0fdto843mn37yx2uanhae&page=13735#343357 Second "Chapter" Thing Here]] |
| 494 | # [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=khm0fdto843mn37yx2uanhae&page=13804#345088 Third "Chapter" Thing Here]] |
| 495 | |
| 496 | Here's what the critics are saying about ''Whatever This Story Is Called'': |
| 497 | |
| 498 | -->'''Tropers/DeathVlk:''' I DIDN'T READ YOUR STORY BECAUSE IT'S TOO FUCKING LONG |
| 499 | |
| 500 | -->'''Tropers/DeathVlk:''' Well apparently I've died a horrible, slow and painful death after engaging in some massively OOC dialogue so like...I don't have an opinion. |
| 501 | |
| 502 | -->'''Tropers/DeathVlk:''' I approve of this rewrite. This is IC enough for a good fiction story. |
| 503 | |
| 504 | -->'''Tropers/DeathVlk:''' Solly, I politely request you give my new body a John Waters mustache.\ |
| 505 | '''Tropers/DeathVlk:''' It will add to my character. |
| 506 | |
| 507 | -->'''Tropers/OhBoyTime:''' A fine job for a slightly above average hoe. |
| 508 | |
| 509 | -->'''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' oh\ |
| 510 | '''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' my\ |
| 511 | '''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' fucking god\ |
| 512 | '''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' '''holy shit'''\ |
| 513 | '''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' '''I WANT FUCKING MORE SILKYDAD HOLY SHIT GIVE ME MORE''' |
| 514 | |
| 515 | -->'''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' ...quite possibly the most concise definition of the Tree. |
| 516 | |
| 517 | -->'''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' This is beautiful.\ |
| 518 | '''Tropers/{{Inhopelessguy}}:''' Thank you, father. |
| 519 | |
| 520 | -->'''Tropers/{{Brahian1}}:''' ill just bookmark it and then never actually read it |
| 521 | |
| 522 | -->'''Tropers/BaronGreen:''' Wow, Solly, that was quite a tale. Also really well written. |
| 523 | |
| 524 | -->'''Tropers/{{electronic-tragedy}}:''' It was an interesting read ''to say the least.'' |
| 525 | |
| 526 | -->'''Tropers/{{Ozbourne}}:''' Do I even want to know what I am in this........ whatever you're talking a[b]out thing is |
| 527 | |
| 528 | -->'''Tropers/GhostElm:''' That... was amazing... |
| 529 | |
| 530 | -->'''Tropers/LiorVal:''' I'm too focused on Mass Effect to read this.\ |
| 531 | '''Tropers/LiorVal:''' Sorry Solip, but Wrex and Garrus are more interesting. |
| 532 | |
| 533 | -->'''Tropers/LiorVal:''' I demand to be a mad scientist if I am ever in this story. |
| 534 | |
| 535 | -->'''Tropers/WilliamRadarStorm:''' Am I correct in assuming that I am not in the story? |
