Dookamatic / Tropers

Hello! I'm Dookamatic. She/they, please. I'm starting to get the hang of this whole TV Tropes thing, and I love scouring the wiki and discovering new topics to look into. I'm a bit more active in the forums, so I might see one of you there.

Favorite media:

Anime: Hellsing, Popee the Performer
Animated films: The Prince of Egypt (the one that I Entry Pimp the hardest), Coraline, Wolfwalkers, The Breadwinner (not that one), Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and How to Train Your Dragon
Comic strips: Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield
Literature: Big Nate, Maus, Barefoot Gen (I don't read very much)
Music: Gorillaz
Western Animation: Bluey, Total Drama, Hilda, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Bob's Burgers and 6teen
Web Animation: Eddsworld, and Team Fabulous 2
Video games: Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Portal, Papers, Please, Team Fortress 2, Overcooked!, Moving Out, Minecraft

Guilty pleasure media:

Western Animation: Chop Socky Chooks (it aged horribly but still has a lot of Narm Charm), Barbie (a lot of fond memories and banger songs, but a bit too immature)
Web Animation: Peepoodo & the Super Fuck Friends (too much Toilet Humor for my tastes, but likeable characters and good lessons), Helluva Boss (the writing is so bad, it loops back around to being funny), Happy Tree Friends (very gimmicky and is full of ableist stereotypes, but still nostalgic)
Video Games: Webkinz (a bit of a money sink, but the games are fun and the pets are cute), Animal Jam (also a money sink and also less fun than Webkinz, but still nostalgic)

Tropes I really like:

My list of Pet Peeve Tropes:

Animal Jingoism when deconstructed in a really dumb way (a la Zootopia or Beastars)
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
Drama-Preserving Handicap when handwaved in a dumb way
Designated Monkey
Furry Female Mane
- Non-Mammal Mammaries
- Non-Mammalian Hair
Idiot Plot
If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!
Liar Revealed
Pantsless Males, Fully-Dressed Females
Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure
Sexy Dimorphism
- Only One Female Mold
Yank the Dog's Chain when done to someone that doesn't deserve it. Asshole Victims less so.

Tropes I've launched:

Collective Death Glare

Pages I've found/suggested images for:

Tropes that apply to me:

Attention Deficit Creator Disorder: I seldom finish a project.
Creator Thumbprint: All of the characters I draw have heart shaped highlights in their eyes.
Does Not Like Spam: I hate mushrooms, tomatoes, sashimi, and green beans.
Meganekko: Downplayed. I'm a part-time eyeglass wearer.
Furries Are Easier to Draw: Downplayed. I can draw humans just fine, but furries are more fun to design.
Girls Love Chocolate: Guilty as charged.
Limited Wardrobe: I tend to wear a a graphic t-shirt and jeans with my favorite hoodie tied around my waist. You can tell pretty easily which outfits are my favorites.
Older Than They Look: I was once charged for a child's buffet meal, even though I was 19 at the time.
Picky Eater: A lot less so than before, but still.
Signature Headgear: I never leave the house without my cat beanie.
Self-Fanservice: I tend to draw my favorite characters in ways that make them more appealing to me personally. Sometimes this will include more voluminous hair, thicker thighs and wider hips, and sometimes a bit more meat on the bones.
Sweet and Sour Grapes: I lost an earring from a pair that I'd had for nearly my whole life, and down a shower drain no less. After a little bit of sulking, I realized that it was a good opportunity to invest in some more pairs that were more of my personal style. A little while later, once I'd forgotten about the earring I'd lost, I found out that my earring hadn't been lost down the shower drain, but it had fallen somewhere on the bathroom floor instead. In the end, I learned how to take better care of my earrings, but I still got my earring back for sentimental purposes. Everybody wins.
Trademark Favorite Food: Toss up between chicken tenders, pistachios, and cheeseburgers.
