Hey guys, I've been a fan and reader of TV Tropes since 2012 and started contributing in 2015. My primary contribution is the Be a Voice Actor page (still a work-in-progress).

My hobbies include web-surfing (especially on TV Tropes), watching cartoons & anime, reading manga, literature & fanfiction; playing video games & poker (only for fun), practicing martial arts, singing and voice acting.

¡Qué pedo carnales! Yo he sido un fan y lector de TV Tropes desde 2012 y empecé contribuir en 2015. Mi contribución primaria es la página de Quieres Hacerse un Locutor (solo en inglés).

Mis pasatiempos incluyen navegar por la Red, mirar caricaturas y anime, leer manga, literatura y fanfics; jugar videojuegos y poker (solo para disfrutar), practicar artes marciales, cantar y actuar de voz. Por cierto, no tengo fluidez en español.

여러분 안녕하세요. 2012년 이래로 TV Tropes 팬이고 독자 이어서 2015년에 기부하기를 시작했어요. (어젠가 전문적인 성우를 하고 싶어요.) 지금 한국어를 배우고 있어서, 한국말을 잘 못 해요.

(If anyone's curious, all the above descriptions mean the same thing)

Favorite Tropes

I'm happy I became a troper because I find many of these educational and entertaining.^*

Personal Tropes

This Troper provides examples of:

The '90s - My childhood.
Adjusting Your Glasses: Pushing both lenses, while my hand covers my face
Ambiguous Disorder: Never been diagnosed, but I have no social skills, low attention span, tendency to ruminate (and hold grudges), blunted emotional affect, and fearful-avoidant attachment. I've ruled out schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders and antisocial personality disorder. Probably some form of schizoid or paranoid personality disorder?
Berserk Button: Bullies, Blackmail, Bribery, Control Freaks, Executive Meddling, Hypocrites, Jerks, Narcissists, Politics, Racists, Smug Snakes, Tyrants, and Ungrateful/Entitled Bastards. Ironically I enjoy acting them in villainous roles.
Nigel Powers: "And the Dutch!"
- Multiple midrolls
- Overly-long explanations. I believe in "less is more".
  - Explainer videos that take too long (and often digress), when I could just skim the transcript.
  - I dislike reading long papers and hated having to write them.
Boring, but Practical / The Reliable One
Brown Eyes: They fit me pretty well: down-to-earth, trustworthy, generic and unexceptional
Brutal Honesty: Struggling with this. I'd prefer to say and hear a succinct, blunt truth (with explanation) rather than sugar-coating it. On the other hand, I understand that this is usually not a good way to talk to people.
Butt-Monkey
Caffeine Failure: Caffeine barely affects me. Despite all the coffee and energy drinks I chugged in high school and college, they never woke me up.
Can't Hold His Liquor / The Teetotaler: I don't drink alcohol, mainly because of the taste. Makes me useful as a designated driver for family and friends.
- I once had a shot of vodka on my 21st birthday. It made me dizzy.
Cool Big Bro: I'd like to think so. We enjoy a lot of the same activities.
- Big Brother Mentor: I help my little sister with her homework.
The Comically Serious: Probably because of my deadpan tone.
Comfort Food: Fresh bread, rice with sesame oil, sunflower seeds (preferably unsalted), and soy milk.
Compressed Abstinence: Was addicted to anime and video games back in the day. Nowadays, I'm so busy that I get my fix with a quick Let's Play or just 1-2 episodes on work days.
Consummate Liar: Rarely exploited, but I can tell believable lies, sometimes through Exact Words, Metaphorically True or white lies. Helps that I hardly change my face and tone.
Covert Pervert: Enjoys Fanservice (and not just the pervy kind), Double Entendre, Ho Yay and Getting Crap Past the Radar.
Creative Sterility: My biggest weakness. Because of this, I HATED writing assignments in school and to this day, I haven't written a story or composed a song that I'd be proud to share. And I can't draw.
Creepy Monotone / Dull Surprise: My natural speaking voice
Crocodile Tears: Pretty good at doing this despite not being very emotional
Deadpan Snarker: Just like everyone else
- Stepford Snarker
- The Snark Knight
Did You Think I Can't Feel?
Do I Really Sound Like That?: My natural voice sounds awfully nasal when I listen to a recording of it. Sometimes I sound like I have a cold even when I'm fine.
Does Not Like Spam: Alcoholic drinks, avocados, bean sprouts, egg rolls^*specifically, the steamed vegetables they put inside them, jajangmyun, japchae, wasabi and basically anything with too much cream or condiments^e.g.cakes with too much frosting, salads with too much dressing, sandwiches with too much mayo, etc.
- While I can eat most vegetables just fine (as long as they're not overcooked), I still haven't gotten over my childhood hatred of green beans and brussels sprouts
  - I enjoy raw or pickled radish or cabbage (especially kimchi) but I die a little inside when someone boils/fries cabbage.
- And I actually like spam, though I only eat it occasionally due to its high calorie and fat content.
Dull Surprise / Emotionless Guy / The Stoic: Not very expressive
Empty Shell: I sometimes feel like this after a bad day.
Everyone Has Standards
Extreme Doormat
Face of a Thug: Moreso when I shave my head and wear contact lenses.
Fascinating Eyebrow: I can manually twitch my eyebrow.
Four Eyes, Zero Soul / Stoic Spectacles: How I usually appear.
The Friend Nobody Likes
Funny Character, Boring Actor
The Generic Guy / Ridiculously Average Guy
Guilty Pleasure: Enjoys Bishoujo Series, Silly Love Songs and So Bad, It's Good cartoons & movies (including Troma and summer blockbusters)
Hedge Trimmer: Occasionally on this very wiki, but often when proofreading scripts.
I Just Want to Be Badass: Studied martial arts and enjoys action films.
I Just Want to Be Special
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: At best
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: At my worst
Knight in Sour Armor: Let's just say, I don't have much faith in today's bureaucrats or authority figures.
Large Ham: On stage or in front of a microphone
Master of None: Pretty good at martial arts, singing, beatboxing, voice acting, poker and video games, though not particularly outstanding.
Men Don't Cry: The last time I cried was when I was watching Forrest Gump at age 10.
Motor Mouth: My conversational talking speed is around 180–200 words-per-minute.^note When I focus on talking fast, my speech rate goes up to 250–300 words-per-minute. I try to tone this down for my voice-acting.
Never Be Hurt Again
No Sense of Direction: Which is why I'm a below-average driver
No Social Skills
Not a Morning Person: If I had my way, I'd spend all night playing games or watching shows.
Not Distracted by the Sexy: To the point others may think I'm gay/asexual. While I like Fanservice, I honestly don't understand how people lose their minds over it. Maybe I have a reduced/repressed sex drive?
One-Note Cook: I can make ramen, eggs, rice and egg fried rice.
The Perfectionist: My edit history is mostly minor edits.
Perpetual Frowner: My friends tell me that they can't read my face (I usually emote solely through voice tone and body language, if at all). Makes me pretty good at poker.
The Quiet One: Because of an unfortunate tendency towards the following:
- Open Mouth, Insert Foot
- That Came Out Wrong
Self-Deprecation: ...Naw
Smug Straight Edge: Can proudly say I've never used any kind of drugs (outside of prescription medication)
The Southpaw / A Sinister Clue
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: I'm normally cold, polite and professional. With friends I'm all jokes and smiles
Sir Swearsalot: Used to be this until high school. Now I rarely use profanity unless an acting role requires it.
Technician Versus Performer: I'd like to be the latter, but I'm a Technician. Nothing seems to come naturally so I have to repeatedly go through step-by-step instructions, think things through much of the time, and ask for copious advice and feedback. Unfortunately takes the fun out of a lot of new hobbies I've tried.
Trademark Favorite Food: Fried rice, sushi, fresh bread, fried noodles, burgers, pizza, potato salad, (well, I like a lot of things, really).
- I also have a soft spot for candy corn, carrot cake, cheesecake, ice cream cake, jerky, mozzarella sticks, onion rings and 쥐포 (Korean fish jerky).
The Unsmile: Don't ever ask me to smile. I know how to fake a genuine smile^note, but I can't smile naturally
Verbal Tic: "I mean...", "Oh boy...", "Wonderful" and "fucksicles"
Yaoi / Yuri Fan: Fond of Ho Yay and Foe Yay (to say nothing of canon pairings), though only if I believe them to be plausible and healthy relationships
- For example, I'm supportive of Johnlock, WrightWorth, Klapollo, GerIta, Gelphie, Stucky, Captain Falcon, Bumblebee, White Rose, HomuMado, Sirius/Lupin, SoRiku, Roxel, YumiKuri, Twilestia, RainbowPie, RariJack, LyraBon, HamiLaurens, Enjolras/Grantaire, Ravenpaw/Barley etc.
  - However, I do NOT support Drarry or SasuNaru except parodically
- Of course, I'm equally supportive of Het pairings too: IchiHime, NaruHina, Harmony, NaLu, Namixas, SoKai, KaLulu, EreMika, etc.
Younger Than They Look: I've looked over 30 since high school. Facial hair also adds to the effect.
Weight Woe: Gains weight VERY easily. Tries hard to lose it (pretty sure I'm an endomorph).
"Well Done, Son" Guy: My parents were top students back in their day so I feel obligated to get a stable, respectable job to make them proud. While they've been supportive of whatever path I take, I still feel I'm wasting my degree on my voice-over aspirations.
When He Smiles: ...RUN
