Tropes to Bring to TRS / Do a Wick Check On
- Fantasy Character Classes: [1]
- Hollywood Action Hero: [2]
- Death Is the Only Option: Possible dupe with Thanatos Gambit. Also see Self-Sacrifice Scheme. [3]
- No Social Skills: Misuse.
- Thong of Shielding: Chairs. "Character wears a thong"
- Voiceover Translation: Really a useful Note
- Beauty Is Best: Dupe w/ Attractiveness Discrimination [4]
- Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Duplicate with Heel–Face Brainwashing. See older thread [5]
- Horny Scientist: The on page examples show lots of ZCE and misuse already. Idk how the wicks fare.
- Twerp Sweating: Duplicate of newly created Boyfriend-Blocking Dad?
- Furo Scene: Duplicate of Bathtub Scene.
- Public Bathhouse Scene: Bathhouse shows up in work trope. Maybe rework to a Public Bathhouse Antics? Or Public Bath Shenanigans?
- The Collector: widespread misuse
- All Love Is Unrequited: Being widely misused as just Unrequited Love instead of describing a scenario in which no one's love is reciprocated. Rename to something like World Of Unrequited Love?
- Rancher: Not sure this is tropeworthy.
- Broken Masquerade: [6]
- Eat the Rich: A stock phrase, but I have yet seen it used as such when I've come across it on the site. It's being misused for a larger class warfare / "the poor are antagonistic to the wealthy" trope from what I'm seeing.
- Ranger: Idk what's happening here. Vague description.
- Hates My Secret Identity: Seems to be misused/conflated with Loves My Alter Ego or Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman. To be fair, it took me an embarassing number of times to figure out what the difference was between all three and I'm not sure all 3 need to exist.
- Impeded Messenger: Bare bones description, only considered Standing with 50 wicks despite being a trope from 2007.
- Rose-Tinted Narrative: Either this, boost, or TLP Rose Colored Glasses.
- Music at Sporting Events: Been around since 2010, only 19 wicks. Feels like chairs.
- Maybe can be salvaged as music played to energize a dead crowd
- Neologizer: Been around since 2014, has 40 wicks, which isn't great especially for what seems like a pretty well defined trope. Probs the name is the issue.
- Messy Hair: This is chairs
- Fanboy and Fangirl: See here
.
- Squat's in a Name: Not thriving. Possibly a rename, maybe a merge into Faux Symbolism
- Japan Takes Over the World: See here
- It Meant Something to Me: Consider merging with Romantic Fake–Real Turn. the only real difference is that IMS 2 M is a stock phrase, but I wonder if it's being used in that way. On page examples suggest no.
- Go Seduce My Archnemesis: Currently redundant with Honey Trap. May be salvaged with a rewrite / redefine. [7]
- Merlin and Nimue: There's no real reason for this to be separated from Student–Master Team. The gendered component isn't necessary and neither is the betrayal component. It boils down to "Student–Master Team that is sometimes a man and woman and sometimes there's betrayal.
- Second Act Break Up: duplicate with Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario
Ongoing/Open Wick Checks
