Web Animation
Welcome to Mountport
Contains the following tropes: (-/1)
- Heel–Face Turn: Tina turns over a new leaf
Trivia
- Crosscast Role: Tina Johnson is played/voiced by
- Cross-Dressing Voices:
Act I
The curtains open to a newsie announcing the daily news; "The fish are gone." He admits he does not know where they went, since he doesn't write the news, just distributes it. This claim is substantiated by a nearby fisherman begrudgingly returning to land empty-handed. Two old ladies gossip about their friend Gladis, who they believe to have stolen all the fish in Mountport. While a young boy named Timothy is sentenced to house arrest "on account of the crimes," various townsfolk discuss the geographical anomalies of their town, and their collective decision not to question it ("Welcome to Mountport").
Enter our hero, Alexa, who has just arrived in Mountport from Prairieville, Louisiana explains her reason for moving — to become a famous baseball player who, supposedly, can hit a home run off her own pitch ("A Brand New Situation"). She elaborates that in Prairieville, the locals would not give her the time of day as they believe she would never be fast enough to become both a professional pitcher and hitter. Mountport's prestigious baseball time is holding tryouts, which she has come to partake in.
On the way, she meets the newsie from earlier, who gives her advice on how to survive and become a big deal in Mountport ("Three Rules of Mountport"), including their local custom of saying "hi" to those they do not know and "hi-ho" to those they have met before, not to eat too much tuna despite it being "beyond belief" due to its ability to make one vomit, and to under no circumstances climb the big tree, as there is a woman at the top who is "not okay." She thanks him for this knowledge and bids him farewell.
In downtown Mountport, the rougher, less-friendly side of town, we meet two buskers, who face head-to-head in an intense rivalry. Close by, atop the sole skyscraper in Mountport, we meet the villain of the story- Tina Johnson. She reveals herself to be the lady in the tree from earlier, who decided she could not be as mean as she wished to be in a tree and must move to a skyscraper. Her subservient assistant Pinocchio enters, explaining that she cannot build her tower any taller, as it will cast a shadow on the baseball field. She reveals this to be her ultimate plan, in order to prevent the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Baseball-Playing Girl who will topple her reign. She explains that the game must be played in the light for the prophecy to come true, and thus she plans to permanently shroud the baseball field of the town in darkness with her skyscraper ("Tear Her Down").
Act II
On a train to Palm Springs, California, where a week-long spring training course is taking place for the baseball team, Alexa and Tina end up in the same train car. Tina deduces that Alexa is the girl in the prophecy by questioning her repeatedly, much to Alexa's confusion. She instructs the girl to sit with her, and as Alexa explains how the dark is her one weakness, a fight between the two occurs, during which Tina turns the lights of the carriage off to intimidate Alexa, who asserts she is still determined to win ("Ticket to Nowhere").
A week later, the group returned to Mountport, where the newsie sells papers claiming the fish were, in fact, stolen by Tina, and Gladis had simply been the scapegoat. This comes as a shock to the old ladies from before, who feel guilty for wrongfully blaming their friend, and decide to go half-and-half on a fruit basket, which they agree is "too expensive" considering it's "mostly melon." One busker turns to the other, gifting him his guitar, as he has been accepted into business school ("Business School"). However, after Alexa donates to him for his singing, he realises he can do both and takes his guitar back.
Alexa concludes that, as Tina's skyscraper has grown so much in such a short period of time, it must not be made of strong materials. She realises that, should this be the case, it would be easy to dismantle it bare-handed. She asks the newsie to spread across the town her rallying message, to bring down the tower collectively, beam by beam, to stop her scheme to rule the world ("What Money Can't Buy"). Quickly, a large crowd gathers, in it the two old women, the two buskers, Timothy, who is quickly told to get back indoors, the newsie and Alexa herself. While Tina at first resists, telling Pinocchio to build faster to counteract the destruction of her building, she is soon overpowered and brought to the ground.
Alexa pleads to Tina to change, that Mountport is a great town that will take her in if she lets it. Tina reveals that she did not want to be evil- she moved to Mountport to become a train conductor. Suddenly, the newsie comes by waving papers announcing the much-beloved train conductor has died from eating too much tuna fish, an echo of his warning from earlier. Tina decides this is her chance to start anew and vows to stop being "Mean Tina" and start being "Sexy Tina, Train Conductress."
The newsie realises it's noon which is the time the big baseball game is due to begin. Alexa readies herself, and, as promised, hits a clean home run off her own pitch. As the crowd cheers, her ball goes straight into the remnants of Tina's tower, fulfilling the prophecy once and for all. She thanks Mountport for taking in an outsider like herself, and the show ends with her assertion that "no home run is worth it if you can't run back to a home you love," a sentiment shared by the rest of the main and supporting cast ("A Home You Love [Finale]"), and with the final words of "Next Stop: Palm Springs," the curtains close.
Literature
The Love Interest
about teen spies disguised as "love interests"—whoever gets the girl lives; but the one she rejects, dies.
[Rephase]There is a secret organization that cultivates teenage spies. The agents are called Love Interests because getting close to people destined for great power means getting valuable secrets.
Caden is a Nice: The boy next door, sculpted to physical perfection.Dylan is a Bad: The brooding, dark-souled guy, and dangerously handsome.
The girl they are competing for is important to the organization, and each boy will pursue her. Will she choose a Nice or the Bad?
Both Caden and Dylan are living in the outside world for the first time. They are well-trained and at the top of their games. They have to be - whoever the girl doesn't choose will die.
What the boys don't expect are feelings that are outside of their training. Feelings that could kill them both.

- Senseless Sacrifice: needed more protection than her
- Taking the Bullet: Being a good person and boyfriend, [...] sacrifice himself to save his beloved girlfriend/[name] ...

- Teen Genius: Juliet has been targeted by the head honchos of the organisation ever since she was five and aced her Mensa test. As she grew up, so did her love of science and inventing complex gadgetry that those with graduate degrees struggle to grasp... ...Love Interests
- Her brain, it operates in a way that’s so far ahead of everyone else. The world’s top universities have been trying for years to get her to enroll with them, but she’s rejected them all because she wants to have a normal high school experience. She’s one of a tiny handful of people in the entire world who we believe have a higher than ninety-seven percent chance of reaching the top of their chosen field. Her inventions will shape the lives of every single person on earth one day. Or, at least, that’s what the head honchos here think. [Rephase]

Million Little Mistakes
Spend your millions with the following tropes
- Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: There are still some similarities to the main character in the first book, like having No Name Given and being ostensibly female, but this protagonist is a separate being from the previous one. She's not as romance-orientated, more money-focused and doesn't go into detail with her life or death in some routes like the other did for all her endings.

testimone di gangster
testimone di gangster contains the following tropes: (-/21)
- Blue Oni, Red Oni: Like the main series, Tizzano is the calm, calculative Blue Oni while Squalo is the hotheaded, gun-ho Red Oni...how they deal with their squad leader...combined their stands together to make up their shortcomings
- Call-Forward: This isn't the last time Squalo and Tizzano would deal with a traitor in Passione using their stands
- Falco's defiance for the sake of justice wouldn't be the last time Squalo thought about ...later spend his last moments alive thinking about
- Squalo also mentioned not wanting Tizzano to die because of him, referencing how the latter would later sacrifice himself by Taking the Bullet meant for the former in the main series.
- Death Glare: directly looks at Squalo, spine-chilling
- Enslaved Tongue: Talking Head, Pollo, Falco...scrambled their testimonies
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
- The reason why Pollo snitched, was because half-sister, only family, drug operations in his hometown
- Squalo and Tizzano to each other
- Finger Muzzle: during their conversation, Tizzano
- Frame-Up: Falco, objective
- Hero Antagonist: Falco, is the biggest adversary in the mission
- In Love with the Mark: Squalo was ordered by their squad leader to kill Tizzano once the mission is over but ..., already together, fallen in love, deeply cares, enraged
- Honestly, I don't even know what's their relationship like after reading this ~ Whaterva
- Law Procedural: testimone di gangster... courtroom drama
- Meaningful Name:
- ...Falco (Falcone) swoops in on the vulnerable Pollo (Chicken), symbolises their predator-prey relationship.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: killing Pollo and Falco...thinks it's the only logical course of action
- since Squalo was absolutely pissed off over their leader's audacity to order a hit on his boyfriend just because his stand is not physically strong and in spite of pulling off the biggest court case in Passione's favor to secure their future as the most notorious, influential mafia empire
- Pointy-Haired Boss: has yet to pay the higher-ups what he owned, thinks killing the weaker members would satisfy them and regain his glory/reputation by pretending his men died in glorious battle ... given we've never heard from him again
- words are just as important, refuses, belittles him and his stand every chance he gets, makes no secret that he wants him gone/dead
- Poor Communication Kills: Talking Head, gets them both killed
- The Power of Language:
- Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Pollo
- Stealth Pun: courtroom, the place where a witness testifies in court, call to the stand, they were fighting a stand battle without actual stands, This is before actual Stands were introduced to make it a "Stand stand battle".
- A witness who is testifying under oath during a trial. The witness almost always sits in a chair beside the judge's bench, often raised above the floor level of the courtroom, and behind a knee-high panel.
- Steamrolled Smart Guy: Tizzano's smarts and carefully thought-out plans go greatly underappreciated, looked down upon the most by his squad leader, "just a fluke since Tizzano doesn’t have that kind of power"
- Tongue Trauma: Clash shreds Pollo's tongue to ribbons once he "confesses"...finishes the job, chew it into ribbons
- Weak, but Skilled: used in tandem with Clash to get any mileage
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Tizzano, Squalo, What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?, while he appreciates the sentiment, it still didn't change his opinion
