It me

She/her. Girl who isn't straight. I've been browsing this wiki since early 2018, but I didn't make an account until April 2021. You'll mainly find me in the Long-Term cleanup threads and Forum Games.

I made a Troper Wall, go vandalize it so I know that you noticed me.

I have a Tumblr now.

Media I like

Fan Works

Candy for Your Thoughts? (Total Drama): Handles the love triangle much better than canon did, mainly with Duncan getting some much needed Character Development.
Deltatraveler (Mostly Undertale + Deltarune)
Inverted Fate (Undertale)
I Saw Grayson Kissing Santa Claus: This fucking fic man, it's hilarious. I love it. Even though the premise is "Damian tries to prevent Santa from molesting his brother" this story thankfully does not have Black Comedy Rape. The humor instead comes from how wrong Damian is about everything, how not childlike he is, and how screwed up the bat family as a whole is.
Total Drama All-Stars Rewrite (Total Drama): Much better than the canon season. It was really fun to read and gave a sense of finality with the 1st and 2nd gen casts that we never got in canon.
TS!Underswap (Undertale): I've never really cared much for normal Underswap because it's essentially just a re-skin of Undertale more than anything, but I really like this game because it goes a step further and changes the roles but not the personalities. It's such a simple concept and yet it changes so much, it even has its own soundtrack and areas, as well as a few new characters! My favorite new character is Koffin-K.
Wu Xing Shield (Xiaolin Showdown): Holy hell, this fic was fantastic. Everyone gets character development, Ping Pong is Rescued from the Scrappy Heap by being integrated naturally rather than just being annoyingly perfect, as well as him actually USING the element of wood, Jack Spicer no longer being a punching bag, Dojo actually being relevant rather than just being there for comic relief, Hannibal Bean being a major threat like he was supposed to be in the original show, higher stakes and emotional scenes while still having comedic moments and not losing what made the characters fun, it’s all here. This is what SHOULD have been.

Animated Film

Spider-Man: Spider-Verse: Look I don't have any movies listed because I don't really consider myself a cinephile, but I've had Spiderverse brainrot since I saw Across, so it's listed here.

Live Action TV

The Golden Girls

Video Games

Cookie Run: Kingdom: As of late August 2022, I have returned to this game after over a year. My favorite cookies are Pancake and Sorbet Shark. My kingdom name is Eeffot. ^What?
Crash Bandicoot: My favorite character is N. Gin, partly because of how hammy he is in Crash Tag Team Racing.
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Kirby
LEGO DC Super-Villains
Pokémon: My favorites are Oshawott and Mimikyu. I also have a soft spot for Popplio because of Critical Backlash.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Splatoon: I would die for Small Fry.
Spyro the Dragon: Elora is adorable and I love her.
Super Mario Bros.
- Luigi's Mansion
Undertale: My favorite character is Mettaton.

The Amazing World of Gumball: The many different visual styles used are so fun to look at, damn. Not sure who my favorite character is.
Avatar: The Last Airbender: My favorite character is Toph.
- The Legend of Korra
Ducktales 2017
The Fairly OddParents!: Only seasons 1-6, I don't want to watch anything past that because of Seasonal Rot.
Gravity Falls
Mickey Mouse (2013): Donald's such an asshole but that's part of what makes him so funny.

Teen Titans (2003): If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Raven.

Total Drama

Opinions on tropes

Tropes I like:

Action Fashionista + Girly Bruiser because of the aesthetics. Butch girls are really underrepresented though.
Beware the Nice Ones: Seeing characters go apeshit is especially fun if they're normally really chill and nice.
Bruiser with a Soft Center and Real Men Wear Pink. I like these because it's a way to be masculine in a way that isn't harmful, by being comfortable with whatever interests you have and not being afraid to show "weakness". It combines toughness with sensitivity. Dudes that have feminine interests and/or are sensitive are infinitely more "manly" and attractive than dudes who have a meltdown over anything pink.
Character dynamics where Character A brings out Character B's soft side and similar tropes, eg. Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl, Even Evil Has Loved Ones, Morality Pet, etc. Jerk with a Heart of Gold as well for similar reasons. It's weirdly wholesome, and a character having a soft spot for someone stands out more if they're not that openly affectionate. Everyone else can fuck off for all they care, but they'll always have that one person they can hang with.
Tropes about silly villains, like Card-Carrying Villain, Evil Is Hammy, Harmless Villain, etc.
Cloud Cuckoolander: They're so off-the-walls that it's really fun. Bonus points if someone else snarks at their antics and/or keeps them in line.
Deadpan Snarker and similar tropes
Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing
Shipper on Deck: Aw hell yeah. They're a huge nerd like the rest of us.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: It's cathartic.
When She Smiles: They don't smile a lot, but when they do, I want to hang it up on my wall. I feel a need to share it with the rest of the world, put it on a billboard or something.

Tropes That Annoy Me:

Cringe Comedy: This one isn't so much "annoying" as it's just uncomfortable. I often feel too much second-hand embarrassment to find it funny.
Disney Death: It's overused and suffers heavily from Like You Would Really Do It. I swear every animated movie that's come out in like the past 10+ years has used this trope. You're not fooling anyone.
Jump Scare: It's lazy and overused.
Love Triangle: Not only will it most likely swallow the story whole if it isn't a romance, but messing with shippers is a very bad idea. It was especially annoying with the Courtney/Duncan/Gwen love triangle in Total Drama World Tour. There wasn't anyone you could really "root for" because no one was really nice or anything. They were just slightly less terrible than each other. There's a reason why Terrible Writing Advice has a running gag of shoehorning a love triangle into everything, even war stories.
Relationship Revolving Door: Not only is it very tedious and annoying to sit through, but the more the couple breaks up, the less I'll believe they'll be happy together.
Sensory Abuse: I hate this one, I don't get why it pops up so much in YouTube videos (even some YouTubers who I like watching are guilty of using this). Is it meant to be a joke or something? Unless it's supposed to be funny because of emphasis or something the same way Large Ham is, I don't see the appeal of suddenly making the sound in your video obnoxiously loud. At least add a sound warning please I'm begging you.
Toilet Humour: Most of the time I find it more repulsive and immature than funny. It's why I don't touch Gross Out Shows with a ten-foot pole.
Unresolved Sexual Tension because it often drags on for too long.
