"They see me posing, they hatin'"

Taco Ninja, a (FEMALE, DAMMIT!) troper from ol' Blighty. A shy creature whom you may see scuttling around TV Tropes being a grammar nazi. Do not expose Taco Ninja to large amounts of Rap, Christian music or work. She will melt. Do not feed her after midnight and if you value your life; proofread your edits so she doesn't have to correct all your silly little typos (although she totally will).

Examples that apply to this troper:

Adult Child: Well, teenage child anyway. *Picks up her Starbug model* ZOOOOOOOOM~ ^3^
Attention Deficit ooh a butterfly *swats at it*
Apologises a Lot: Bump into someone accidentally? "So sorry!", someone walks into you and doesn't apologise? "Sorry!", someone crushes your foot and just walks away? "sorry...". It's the British way.
Bi The Way / Anything That Moves
Bifauxnen: I occasionally get mistaken for a guy, do they not notice the heaving beasts?

- True story: My mother and I were walking down the high street and having a very deep conversation about religion, philosophy and the like. We just happened to walk past a shop with pies in the window. Of course I put the brakes on - mid sentence - and yelled "PIE!". I had just realised I was hungry see. I also talk to my dogs... They're good listeners.

I've had a story rolling around in my head for yonks that I've only just started writing down. I'm also working on it as a sort of graphic novel (it isn't very good) and it's incredibly gloomy, gay and violent.

Xander is a 17 year-old homeless boy living in a park in London. Late one night he sees a boy drowning in a flooded river and saves him. The boy is a strange, quiet blonde called James who develops an attraction to Xander which isn't helped by Xander making him his new pet and dragging him around everywhere. Eventually Xander learns about James' crush on him and doesn't react well but later offers to keep being friends with him as long as he acts like nothing happened. There are subplots with a dangerous gang that Xander is a part of, a sadist teacher and his hot daughter and a lecherous guy who seems to know a lot about Xander.

Examples

Armoured Closet Gay: Xander is quick to insist that it's only certain men when it's really this.
Badass Bookworm: James although he doesn't show the former until he rugby-tackles a dangerous gang-leader.
Book Dumb: Xander.
Crapsack World
Closet Key: James to Xander, naturally, although it takes a while.
Dark Secret: Xander has several; his rape at the hands of the man he works for, his job mugging and involvement in drug-dealing which oddly enough, one character already knows.
Hates Being Touched: I gave Xander Sensory Defensiveness due to my own experiences with it.
Dark and Troubled Past: And present...
Homeless Hero
Intelligence Equals Isolation
Iron Woobie: Xander has to be, having mug people and sell drugs to pay his rapist, hoo boy...
Jerkass Façade: Oh so very much Xander
No Social Skills: Oddly Xander (who has a total of one friend) has less social skills than James who has absolutely none.
Not So Stoic
Not a Morning Person: Xander doesn't sleep well because of the trains rumbling by over his head every night. He has constant black rings under his eyes because of it.
Peek A Bangs: James, until his abusive mother goes and cuts it all off with a knife
Time Skip
Unlucky Childhood Friend: Arthur to Xander
Rape as Backstory
Stoic Woobie: James. He has to deal with more or less constant bullying at at school and his mother and brother having absolute control over his life. Really the only way he manages to deal with it is his books, schoolwork and fantasies of his absent father coming to take him away.
Seme & Uke: Although I've tried messing with the stereotypes with a uke that needs to be forceful otherwise the seme wouldn't do anything and a seme with a very submissive personality (although god forbid he ever show it).
Wrong Side of the Tracks: Takes place in one of the blacker areas of London. Oddly enough I've based it on my hometown in north London which is actually quite rich place.

Any comments and general graffiti can go under here. :3

Sen says: Hi! I discovered yer profile through the Old Shame Troper Tales, and, well, it's a real cool profile! Yer certainly funnier than me! Obligatory "yay!" because you also dig Earth Bound. :D And... is that a Red Dwarf I see on the list? AWESOME!
Sen sez: Me again. Sorry for taking nearly a week to notice yer shout, but it's mostly 'cause my profile is the least-checked page on TVT - I usually just drop by when I have to add another page I created. Ayep, yer definitely awesome for liking them - I haven't even gotten halfway through Earthbound and I just got hooked on it so much I decided "hey! I want to do something similar!" and began writing a similar-ish story (it's now become my first writing project ever that I haven't lost interest in yet and is just two pages short of the big 200 already). And yer hat is indeed nice. Rawkon! :D
- Amusing sidenote: apologising a lot is "the British way"? Gee, between this and one of our sociology teachers informing me of the Underground etiquette of not looking at other people, I think me and my introversion are gonna fit in just fiiiiine. :)
OriginalHobbit: Also found you via Old Shame and wanted to say hello as well. You are, in fact, very funny and this is a great profile. I am now going to stop talking so I don't seem like a creepy stalker, but I'll say it's nice to find a fan of That Guy With The Glasses from across the pond, very surprising. Another thing; you certainly do not look like a Bifauxnen to me.
