There used to be a better image here, but now you've gone and taken out all our web servers. Nice going. It just goes to show:
Er, wait a second, turns out the page is here after all. My mistake.





Before we begin, please stand for the National Anthem.

Thank you. You may sit down.

You NEED to watch this!!!

"I know it's easier to portray a world filled with cynicism and anger, where problems are solved with violence...It's an easy out. What's a whole lot tougher is to offer alternatives, to present other ways conflicts can be resolved, and to show you can have a positive impact on your world. To do that, you have to put yourself out on a limb, take chances, and run the risk of being called a do-gooder."

• Describe TropesForever here.
  • Very well then, TropesForever is a troper...
  • Hold on, what are your credentials?
  • What?
  • Your credentials? Why are you qualified to describe TropesForever here?
  • Well, I...okay, don't tell anyone, but I am TropesForever.
  • WHAT?? YOU'RE TROPESFOREVER???
  • Shh!
  • But I'm also TropesForever!
  • What? How is that possible?
  • I don't know, but I'm getting sick of this joke now.

I'm Murataku. Imagine a loud Tomboy in a louder teapot, only without the pot, the tom, the tea or the boy.

I'm ZeroL. (Duh...wait, am I? I'll try again.)

Greetings, Earthlings. I am called President Stalkeyes...wait, no I'm not.

Hi, my name is Beverly! How are you...my name is not Beverly. Hold on.

Hi, I'm Tre. This is my page, but - no, no, that's not right either.

A proper introduction is in order. I'm Caliburn, but you can call me - No, wait, don't. I'm not Caliburn.

Hey, there. Cyber was once known by the name of Hamza 678 - well, I guess that's true, but...

Hi, I'm Brian Henson. The Muppet fans are sometimes really cra-AUGH!

Okay, I think I got it right. I'm TropesForever, and I'm sort of like a cheap knockoff of everyone else. Y'know how if you mix all the ice cream flavours together, you end up with this weird bland purplish-grey stuff? That's me.

"He who is neither one thing nor the other has no friends."

— Aesop

Forever, this is too depressing. It ain't gonna fly off the shelves unless ya do a little exaggeration!

But this is a webpage...

I don't care!

Fine...

Once, when the very fabric of the universe was still young, Mankind was born. And almost as long as there has been man, there have been Tropes. But, the ancient ones realised that tropes are fragile things. One humble creature was chosen as the guardian of tropes. And from that day forth, he was known as... TROPES...FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

...O...kay. Well, since some sane people are going to click on this eventually, I may as well say some vaguely useful stuff. I've been lurking this wiki since about mid-2014, but didn't join until the 15th of July, 2016. I was initially known as CamelCase, but then stuff happened. I've had my current name since the 5th of September, 2016. I can be found in most parts of the site, reading if not contributing.

If I had to describe myself in three fictional characters, as is so often done around here, I would...phone a friend. (But which friend?)

On the subject of nicknames, I don't really have a preference. "Tropes", "Forever" and "TF" are all fine (although Beverly has advised against the last one for...reasons). Most people use "Tropes", though I have a soft spot for "Forever" as it allows me to make daft jokes, like so:

Lisa Simpson: I feel like I've been wearing the same red dress forever.

Me: You called?

So...that's me in a nutshell. A very large nutshell, but a nutshell nonetheless.

That's all, folks!











Wait, there's more?

Here's the foldercontrol before I forget: And here are the folders. Keep an eye on them for me, will you? Don't want them running off again.

Stuff I've done

On the wiki

• I am responsible for the deaths of Good Grief Another Peanuts Shout Out and Bowties Are Cool. Odd, since they're both based on works I love.
• I've written for The Muppets (by which I mean I added Statler and Waldorf to the Chick Magnet page, something I'm much more proud of than is strictly healthy.)
• Pages I created include Creator.Anthony Daniels, SelfDemonstrating.Larry Da Vinci, SelfDemonstrating.Attack Of The Eye Creatures, and Characters.Little Big Planet. As CamelCase, I made VideoGame.Dreams, Laconic.Little Big Planet, WesternAnimation.Soupe Opera and all its subpages, and Radar.Little Big Planet.
• I came up with the current name for Creator's Apathy. Yes! Me! I named the trope! I put the words "Creator" and "Apathy" together! With an apostrophe and an "s" in the middle! I even put the words in the right order so they don't say "Apathy's Creator"! That was all me! I feel sick.
• I currently have one TLP draft, Ambiguously the Same Individual.

On Forum Games

I don't have anywhere else to put this, but it needs to go somewhere. Thanks to Caliburn Absolute EX who wrote the words, and Beverly, who it was made for.

• Who would play the above Troper in a biopic?
• Bad ideas for forum games v2 (READ THE RULES FIRST): After the ill-fated first version (which I won't link here) crashed and burned.
• Name something that begins with the next letter of the alphabet and see if the next poster likes it: Continuing on the popular "Name something that begins with X and see if the next poster likes it" trend.
• The above avatar is a guest on The Muppet Show
• ITT: We speak in Iambic Pentameter
• Tropers: The Series (which now has a page!)

Places I'm at outside of this site

• Wikipedia, where I still go by CamelCase.
• Wikia, where I'm called Jack Busstein (not my real name either, by the way). I'm most active on the LittleBigPlanet Wiki, where I'm an admin. (That sounds a bit narcissistic, but that's what these pages are for, amirite?)
• My YouTube channel.
• I can also be contacted on tin-can phone. My number is 3.

A single userbox

You may wonder what a userbox is: it's a Wikipedia thing.

This user tries to do the right thing. If they make a mistake, please let them know.

Bye, everybody!









Oh, you've got to be kidding me...

Stuff I like

Since I'm desperate for a gimmick, I decided to arrange this by year (yes, I'm aware sarysa has something similar). My very favourite works have the work "Pizza" written next to them, because I'm a dedicated lolsorandomer, and anyway everyone loves pizza. Unless they're allergic to pizza, I guess (and yes, I'm aware that Actual Beatrice had a similar joke on her page). Some attempt has been made to list favourite characters too.

A very long time ago

• The Bible

1865

• Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark too. I haven't read Through the Looking-Glass, but would like to one day.)

1950

• Peanuts Pizza

1952

• MAD Magazine

1955

• Pizza The Muppets. That's right, everything on that page, including the stuff I haven't seen. My favourite Muppet is Rowlf.

1960

• The Beatles pizza. I'm still working my way through all their music and other material, so I'm no expert on them...yet.
  • Yellow Submarine

1963

• Doctor Who Pizza

1969

• Monty Python

1977

• Pizza Star Wars.
  • I like episdes 1-8, Rogue One, Solo, and the relatively little I've seen of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. I love the obscure, now non-canon cartoon Droids somewhat disproportionally. Artoo and Threepio are my favourite characters.

1982

• Pizza Jim Henson's other films and projects, such as The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

1983

• Blackadder

1987

• The Simpsons
  • Steamed Hams videos are pretty funny too.

1991

• Pizza Soupe Opéra (It Needs More Love, dangit!)

1993

• The Nightmare Before Christmas

1995

• Pixar (especially Toy Story and WALL•E)
• Earthworm Jim (The TV show. Haven't played any of the games, though they seem interesting.)

1999

• Futurama

2005

• xkcd, even if most of them go way over my head. They even referenced LittleBigPlanet once, and I don't care if they spelled it as three words!

2008

• LittleBigPlanet Pizza. My favourite playable character is (obviously) Sackboy, and my favourite NPCs are Clive and Larry Da Vinci.

2010

• Adventure Time and Regular Show, although I'm pretty behind on both.

2014

• The LEGO Movie
• The Flash (2014)

Misc.

• Aside from the aforementioned Beatles (I wanna get into other rock bands, but it'll probably take a while), my musical tastes tend towards whatever songs are used in my favourite works. Since both the Muppets and LittleBigPlanet tend to pull songs from every which way under the sun, I end up liking a set of music that's very diverse but also strangely limited.
  • Scott Joplin is also cool, and I should probably write a page for him eventually.
  • Vince Guaraldi too, though that's probably obvious since I've already listed Peanuts as one of my favourites.
• Steven Universe Presents: Something — The Movie, whose poster you saw at the top of this page. (If only it existed...)
• Photoshop, though as you can probably tell I have no idea how to design stuff that doesn't hurt people's eyes...
• And the ellipsis...

Pearl: You know, Rowlf, this don't make any sense at all.
Rowlf: I know, Pearl, but we're stuck with it. Let the joust begin!

— The Muppet Show

The Joust—er, Tropes That Apply to Me

• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Downplayed, and exaggerated at the same time. Isn't life funny?
• Bad Impressionists: On this very page, in fact, as well as all over the forums and in real life.
• Brief Accent Imitation: I sometimes do it on the forums, by copying the syntax of whatever or whoever comes to mind for no reason. I do this a lot in real life as well.
• Cuckoosnarker: Describes me well.
• The Ditherer: Pretty much everything on this page is inaccurate at one time or another, because I can't make up my dang mind.

• Forgetful Jones: Sometimes, occasionally, however, to an extent.
• The Gadfly: Downplayed. I do enjoy messing with people...up to a point. I'm just still working out where that point is.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: I'm absurdly G-rated for an internet person.
• I Have Many Names: Even I don't remember them all.
• Innocently Insensitive: I have that userbox for a reason.
• The Internet Is For Fools: Well, it looks like it should be a trope.
• Jim Henson: Averted, I'm not him.
• Meaningful Rename: Inverted. Neither of my handles really "means" anything, I only changed because I accidentally locked myself out of the old one.
• My Greatest Failure/Old Shame: The Troperverse. See here if you must know what it was.

We interrupt this troper page for an important news update.

Yesterday morning at 5:35 AM, a mysterious figure was seen vandalising TroperWall.Tropes Forever. Witnesses have described the suspect as wearing five different hats, each stacked on top of the other. Police are currently investigating.

And now back to regular programming.

• I told you, Alice, that's not how you repair a lawnmower! Wait, are we on again?
• Neutral Good: According to the internet, and the internet never lies.
• Ridiculous Procrastinator: This trope should be automatically included on everyone's page. It would be self-fulfilling: If you procrastinate on removing it, it applies to you, but if you can be bothered to remove it, it doesn't apply to you.
• Serial Escalation:
  • My sense of humour in general uses this a lot.
  • In particular, The musicians avatar. It started of with just Rowlf, then I added Schroeder, then the Doctor, then Marceline, then other tropers started suggesting characters...
• Single-Issue Wonk: I don't like people using "Muppet" to refer to puppets that aren't actually Muppets, like Yoda. It annoys me that that's the definition the trope uses.
• Situational Sociability: I'd daresay this trope applies to most tropers, in fact. Probably related to my dithering.
• Small Reference Pools: See that list of works up there? Those are about 70% of the works I'm very familiar with.
• Those Two Guys: At times, with DrNoPuma.
• What an Idiot!: I tend to realise my mistake seconds later. Mostly why I'm a Serial Tweaker.

Favourite Tropes

You're still reading this thing? I'm impressed.

• Bathos
• Bavarian Fire Drill
• Big Damn Movie
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment
• Chain of Corrections
• Dark Is Not Evil (Though I could go either way on Light Is Not Good)
• DrNoPuma: It's cool whenever he appears in a work.
• Establishing Character Moment
• Genre-Busting, Genre Mashup and Genre Roulette
• Interface Screw
• Large Ham
• Massive Multiplayer Crossover and Weird Crossover
• Overly Long Gag
• Recursive Reality: Which is obvious if you've seen my "Troper Ventriloquism" or read my review for this site...ON this site.
• Self-Deprecation: This list is almost entirely ZCEs. TropesForever should be ashamed of himself.
• Stylistic Suck
• The Walrus Was Paul
• Word Salad Humour

The Tropers Song

Deep breath
To the tune of "Modern Major General, specifically based on this version:"
There's Gwen and Tye Dye, Silver, Dag, and Kablammin, who's pretty nice.
Bluethorn, Kihunter, Mhazard, Ninja with AIDS and Be-a-trice.
And Axolotl, Kaiko, Willy, Bisected, who's done so much.
Along with William, Weirdguy, Saz, Team Larson, Alexa and Dutch.

There's Crystal, Wispy, Quantum, Wolf, Revenge and Hydraloonie.
There's Kouta, Anza, Darthwyn, Dauth, Cailleach, Maxwell, and Fury.
There's Unknown, Revvy, Raspy Mink (our favourite forum resident),
Arcada, Huthman, n3rd_d4sh, Cabe, Arimo and the President.

There's G2, Cyber, Cal and Light, Ichigo, and Eevee Girl Chey,
There's Farmboy, Loner, Moot, Kix, Rachel, Random and iflewaway.
Along with Superjohn, Some_Person, Zbse, Onnie, Chip, and Tre,
and Mikael, Sarysa, and Star.

There's Aleistar, The One Who Tropes, Vjoj and if I can do so,
I'll find some room for Cent'ry, Teenly, Rockonman and Lewatto.
And Ultra Wanker, Savaget, Completely Normal, Lyciboo,
Razorrozar, chianticat, Enirboreh, and Dingo too.
With Trashconverters, Blurring, Kaal, and now this list has got stranger,
I'll mention Inko, Starbee, Starbug, wingedcatgirl and Gamechanger.

InKraidible, Speedchesser, Snicklin, Solar, Foxx, Tomodachi,
Soul, Afterwards, Dave, Almohad, Halberdier, Faust, Whiz, Jamie,
Bur, Picher, Fredhot, Kirin, Zelda, Everz, Daft, SmartGirl, you see
H Bomb, 'Lectronic, Daring, Idiot, Miss, Fly, Hart, Wade, Kitty

Another deep breath:
And Taco, Tales, Spino, Bread, Psych'delicate, and Alien.
Tranq, Ozbourne, Clockwork, Zanreo, Berrenta, Josh and Cheion.
Composer, Blizzard, Jax and NASCAR, Ghost Elm, Shrub Bird, Ore-O,
Plus AHI, Infinity, Daydre, Crossover and Reiko.
Penroses, and Murataku, 9k1, and Beverly.
This list is getting much too long so I'll just end it cleverly.
Noli, Sed, Elisabel, and Puma, he's my hero.
Joker, Movie, Scotie, Graf, and last not least is Zero!
I collapse.

P.S. To stop my brain from asploding, I decided to keep this list to the Forum Games regulars, since they're the ones I personally see the most. I want to add all the other contributers to this site eventually, but there'd easily be enough for fifteen new songs of this type.

P.P.S. Apologies in advance if I forgot you. I'll add or remove anyone's name by their request.

If you've thought this page was funny, please consider throwing a compliment on my wall. However, if this page made you foam at the mouth with rage, I am extremely sorry, but we don't offer refunds. Ignoring for a moment that this page is free, I've probably already spent the money by now on web polish or something equally useless. You're welcome to send your complaints to TroperWall.Tropes Forever, but there's no guaruntee I or anyone else will ever actually read them.
