I accept cake as payment

Hello! I'm STARCRUSHER99, named after the first gamertag I had on the Xbox 360 that came out of the random name generator. My fellow tropers tend to just call me STAR. That's me over on the right.

I'm a second year college student studying music education and musical theatre, so perhaps it's not a surprise that Tv Tropes has ruined my life. I'm often characterized by my sudden and extreme obsessions (which this website has decidedly not helped), which changes on pretty much a monthly basis. Offhand, I've gone through phases of Star Wars, Lost, Assassin's Creed, Death Note, Minecraft, and Halo, and quite frankly I'm on the verge of falling back into any of those obsessions at the drop of a hat. Currently, I'm back on Lost.

I'm also a frequent contributor on both the Complete Monster thread and the Magnificent Bastard thread, though I've admittedly not been on either thread for long; my shtick appears to have become potholing names, as you'll notice that I've potholed more entries than I've proposed. I take those threads seriously and try my best to not annoy anyone on there through idiocy or badgering. Plus, I've rather come to enjoy most of the people in there, so come at them at your own peril.

I'm also a fan fiction writer under the same username as this site, but I haven't updated in years due to extreme writers block, growing up, and college. I hope to get back into that in the near future, as writing is one of my passions and I hope to pursue it professionally, meaning I need to get my ass in gear.

Tropes I Believe Apply To Me

Ambiguous Disorder: I have been unofficially diagnosed with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder^note, which frankly explains a lot about me, including my near constant twitching, incredibly linear thought process, short-term memory issues, and tendency to obsess over minor details.
Berserk Button:
- Don't call me a retard; see above.
- Don't ever bring up my dad. I will not hesitate to verbally power bomb you into the ground.
- In general, insulting the people who raised me, my mother and stepfather, is a very fast way to get on my bad side.
Beyond the Impossible: My proudest moment as a theatre student was when I made my singing professor actually cry with my rendition of "For Forever" from Dear Evan Hansen.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: I may be quirky, energetic, and downright odd, but make no mistake: when I need to do something, I'll see it through to the end, and I'll make it work, especially if that "something" involves singing or acting.
Ditzy Genius: Academically, I got a 32 on my ACTs, passed all of my AP exams, and have gotten a 4.0 in all of my college semesters so far. In the real world, I once tried to make a waffle without plugging in the waffle maker and have consistently mixed up my left and right shoes.
Endearingly Dorky: The closest I'll ever get to attractive is cute and I'm not afraid to use it. I'm well known for going on eager rants about things I enjoy, and I apparently become very animated when I know someone is listening to me.
Manly Tears: I have a tendency to cry at both serious and frankly odd moments. I'm no stranger to crying at The SpongeBob Musical at one in the morning.
Motor Mouth: When I start talking, it's hard to get me to stop. It's something I'm trying to work on.
Old Shame: I once tried to EP Jack Welker on the CM thread. To say that I got shot down fast is a severe understatement.
Precision F-Strike: While I curse pretty often, I try to avoid F-bombs so that the moments that I do say them stand out.
Self-Serving Memory: I have a family history of self-serving delusions that fog my memory and make me a rather Unreliable Narrator. I tend to rely on others to keep my head on straight in that regard.
