Explain this troper here!
...Well, we could, but they can't even explain themself.
Total Weirdo is an autistic twenty-something Lurker, an amatuer artist/streamer/tarot card reader, and as, their name implies, a Weirdo.
They love video games to the point of nigh-obsession, as they have been playing since they were 2, (No, really).Video Games are just a Special Interest pool, however; They have plenty of games they are obsessed with specifically. Some have been in their sights for years, but others are things they just saw weeks ago and they fell in love instantly. They still love them all the same.
They also love to draw, and have been studying that since they were eight. Your Mileage May Vary on whether or not they're good at it. They love working with monochrome, but not necessarily black and white. They really like working with the color red. In their opinion, it apparently tastes delicious. They draw fanart, stuff for their sites of operation, and are considering trying comissions soon.
They were their Grandmas apprentice for 2 years; learning about astrology and tarot readings, mostly. So, they love those motifs in fiction a lot.
They joined after 8 years of lurking and like to wander the forums. They'll edit pages of video games they know that need more love.
—-
- Afraid of Needles
- Ambiguous Gender: Invoked.
- Ascended Fan: They lurked this site for 8 years and often used tropes to understand and explain things. Like now, for instance. After said eight years, they finally gained the courage to join the tropers.
- Autism
- Bi The Way
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Was often told they were this. Of course, due to their "brilliance" not being really clear, they mainly describe themself as just "lazy".
- Character Tics: Their excessive pacing.
- Child Prodigy: Kinda downplayed. Start playing video games at 2, and despite being unable to speak until they were 4, started reading and speaking in full sentences at that age, too.
- Didn't become much, though. See Brilliant, but Lazy.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Yeah, kinda.
- Forgetful Jones: Oh, yeah.
- They actually can't remember some of the things they're interested in unless reminded somehow.
- Hope Is Scary: It's difficult for them to even be happy or love something without the fear of something going wrong. They force themselves to deal with it because they feel explaining it to someone will make it worse.
- This does give them a way to tell if they're genuinely feeling something or just feeling something because the other person(s) feel it, however.
- I Hate Past Me: As mentioned so far, they did stupid things they aren't proud of. In the forums, they confessed mixing energy drinks. Unless you ask nicely, you're probably not gonna know much more than that.
- Klatchian Coffee: Confessed to an attempt to make one when they were younger.
- Despite this, they still drink energy drinks whenever possible. Even though it makes their chest hurt.
- No Social Skills: They're trying, though.
- Ominous Owl: Subverted in the sense that those are their favorite animal; Played Straight for anyone who happens to see their room unprepared.
- Perpetual Frowner: Has a real bad case of resting bitch face.
- Picky Eater: It's very hard for them to eat in general.
- Forgets to Eat: Possibly the cause of this.
- Self-Deprecation: Their main type of humor aside from awful puns.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Theres even a warning about it on their twitch page.
- Tastes Like Purple: They asociate colors with certain tastes and smell. Synesthesia is a common sympton of Autism, so this makes sense.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Played straight in the sense that they weren't as afraid of things and kinder to themself; subverted because they were a reckless little turd.
- They never bullied anyone, though, unless you count those who were bullying them.
- Why Did It Have To Be Wasps: Has a huge phobia of wasps and, to a lesser extent, bees.
