I'm just an ordinary guy, a "cyber-drifter" if you will, just trying to carve his niche into the Internet. I post in a lot of places, sometimes under different names.

This user (I don't really consider myself a "troper") provides examples of:
- Apologizes a Lot
- Bad Liar
- Berserk Button (I don't have one big one, but many small ones, and if you press one too many times or too many at once...)

- Does Not Drive (Simply because it seems too expensive and stressful to be worth it for me.)

- Evil Laugh
- Fanwork-Only Fans (Of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Thomas & Friends, and Dear Evan Hansen to a lesser extent.)

- I Have Many Names (In addition to Kahran042, I have also gone by The Entity Formerly Known As Kahran042, Malach, Mizukage, my real name, Amaranth Goldenthorn, Jaegan, and Kaden in various places.)
- I Thought Everyone Could Do That (I sometimes forget that not everyone can read as fast as me.)
- Insult to Rocks (one of my favorite rebuttals)
- Jerk With A Heart Of Some Sort Of Precious Metal
- Large Ham
- Let's Play (I've done ten of them for the Talking Time forums, and was working on an eleventh before it was archived.)

- Why Did It Have To Be Crabs?
- X Meets Y (My cat Serafina was Tsunderplane meets Kamineko.)
Since there isn't really a page for this, I thought I'd put it here. It's a variant on Favorite Trope where I don't necessarily like the trope itself, but find the page to be an interesting place.

Since I put up my favorite tropes, I might as well include their evil counterpart, the Pet-Peeve Trope s. It should be noted that I don't always hate these, but they're more often done poorly than not, so...
My pet peeve tropes
- A Man Is Not A Virgin
- A Weighty Aesop
- Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female on Male
- Accentuate the Negative
- Unspeakable Trope #20: Or, rather, the way it was used on this wiki to passive-aggressively shame people for not giving a bleep about fictional children.
- After the End
- All Abusers Are Male
- All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles
- All Deserts Have Cacti: This just annoys me more than it should for some reason.
- All Germans Are Nazis
- All Guys Want Cheerleaders
- All Men Are Perverts
- Always Chaotic Evil
- Awful Wedded Life: At least when it's Played for Drama.
- Beyond Redemption
- Big Brother Bully
- Black-and-White Morality
- Bury Your Gays
- Calling the Young Man Out
- Cartesian Karma
- Cats Are Mean
- Cerebus Retcon
- Cerebus Syndrome
- Character Shilling / Hate Sink: As far as I'm concerned, these are just two sides of the same vile coin.
- Complaining About People Not Liking the Show
- Unspeakable Trope #9
- Creator's Pet
- Dude, Not Funny! / Unspeakable Trope #22 : Humor. Is. Subjective. It is funny to me. And if it isn't funny to me, it's probably funny to somebody.
- Everybody Hates Hades
- Fan Hater: Because which is more pathetic - liking or not liking a fictional character, or hating real people for the fictional characters they happen to like or dislike?
- Females Are More Innocent
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse
- Game-Favored Gender
- Girls vs. Boys Plot
- Happy Ending Override
- Heteronormative Crusader
- High Hopes, Zero Talent
- I Ate WHAT?!: Seriously, if you liked it before you knew what it was, then there's no reason you shouldn't like it after you know that.
- If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...
- I'm a Man; I Can't Help It
- Intended Audience Reaction
- Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films
- Mary Sue
- Moral Guardians
- My Sister Is Off-Limits
- New Media Are Evil
- Official Couple: For me, this is something to like a couple despite, rather than because of, if that makes sense.
- Our Monsters Are Different: Because it strikes me as being kind of judgmental against monsters that aren't "different."
- Pair the Spares
- Permadeath
- Real Is Brown
- Real Men Hate Sugar
- Real Men Have Short Hair
- Redemption Equals Death
- Remember the New Guy?
- Reviews Are The Gospel
- Rockers Smash Guitars: Yui Hirasawa would be horrified by this, and you don't want to horrify Yui Hirasawa, do you?
- Science Is Bad
- Screw You, Elves!: I don't necessarily mind it so much in-universe, but when it bleeds out into forums, it really pisses me off.
- Shallow Parody: If you're not going to try to understand something, then why bother parodying it?
- Ship Tease / Shipper on Deck: It's easier for me to not hate official couples if the writers aren't shoving them down my throat through their characters.
- Shut Up, Hannibal!
- Sisterhood Eliminates Creep
- Soapbox Sadie
- Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped: No anvil needs to be dropped. If a work is blatantly preaching some message, no matter how good a message it is, it automatically sucks. End of discussion.
- "Stop Having Fun" Guys, and their weapons, the...
- Story Branch Favoritism
- Strangled by the Red String / Developers' Desired Date
- Teens Are Monsters
- The Abridged Series
- The Chris Carter Effect: This is why I don't watch live-action dramas.
- The Farmer and the Viper
- The Internet Is for Porn
- The Unfair Sex
- There Are No Girls on the Internet
- Trapped by Mountain Lions
- Very Special Episode
- Wangst
- Women Are Wiser
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl
- Zombie Apocalypse: At least, when it's the main plot of the series or game. If it's just the plot for one episode or story arc, it's not so bad.
Finally, the "Unspeakable Tropes." These are tropes that, although I don't really have a problem with the tropes themselves, I detest the way that they're primarily used on this wiki to belittle and demean people for daring to have different opinions from the majority, shut down any theories that a character might not be as perfect or demonic as they're intended to be, as an excuse for complaining about characters they don't like or people not liking characters that they do, or that just really annoy me for one reason or another. Due to this, I will not link to them, mention them by name, or visit their pages. Hence, I'm listing them here with all vowels, spaces, and capitalization removed to avoid linking to them or being tempted to visit them. By the way, the order has no real significance. It's just the order in which it occurred to me that I should avoid having anything to do with that page.
The Unspeakable Tropes

- III. fndmb
- IV. htdmb

BTW, if you can guess where I got the spelling of "theater" in my favorites section, you get a cookie.
