1"The Philosofan" is a 'VideoReviewShow' show on Website/{{Geekvision}} and the Website/ChannelAwesome forums dealing with the anthropological side of fandom, & geek culture, & fangirls. Lots of fangirls. It is created and hosted by [=TBelle=], AKA Haley Baker, AKA Tropers/{{Trickster-Belle}}.

3In addition to her Philosofan videos, she has also begun a new series entitled "Art Theory at Disneyland", analyzing Disneyland from an artistic standpoint.

7!!Tropes:
8* BerserkButton: Calling [=TBelle=] a FanGirl
9* CameBackWrong: [=TBelle=] left to do research on CreepyPasta. When she came back...things got weird.
10* TheCastShowOff: Several times, there have been musical credits where Haley shows off her singing voice. & once co-producer Jess showed off her ukelele skills.
11* DrivenToMadness: ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} & ''Literature/CrimeAndPunishment'' seem to have this effect on [=TBelle=]
12* TheFairFolk: [=TBelle=] tends to like stories involving them, as seen in her Top 11 Anime & her Film/{{Labyrinth}} thesis.
13* FanGirl: [=TBelle=], albeit reluctantly. Not to mention her whole video explaining the concept.
14* GuiltyPleasure: Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen for [=TBelle=]
15* ImNotAfraidOfYou: How she dealt with that pesky victim complex, in the same style as [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} the movie]] she was talking about.
16* ImprobableWeapon: The umbrella
17* LipstickAndLoadMontage: Primping up to get ready for a review is serious business.
18* OccidentalOtaku: [=TBelle's=] introduction to anime. It was an awkward experience.
19* OldShame: Her high school web show.
20* SharedUniverse: Thanks to cameos, she's part of the Reviewaverse.
21* SouthernBelle: And proud of it.
22* [[TalkingToThemself Talking To Herself]]: Arguing with her 'high school victim complex' in the Film/{{Labyrinth}} thesis.
23* WorldOfWeirdness: The Reviewaverse. She confronted [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad Ichabod Crane]], [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Hans]], and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]]. This universe is weird enough for fictional characters to exist.
