You know that feel...?

Go To

When someone says "You know that feel...?" It's either instant recognition or utter confusion.

Basically this thread is for people who get feel(ing)s to ask if other people feel them too.

When you're consuming a brand new work and imagine what the TV Tropes page for it looks like while doing so.

That feeling when you want so hard to be ambivalent, neutral or disinterested in The Gaslight District (as of the writing of this post for historical context)... yet you keep finding things catching your damn attention, the most recent thing being Oliver Buckland's involvement in the soundtrack.

[up][up] Same. Something will happen and I'm like "Ooh! I know that trope!"

When you want to write a Broken Base example but you've only seen one person in a relatively small fandom express the "other opinion" so you aren't sure if you really should write it

When you finally beat a game that'd more or less annoyed you so hard you could only find inner peace by completing it.

You've stumbled upon an idea for a new trope. You've already got three examples in mind and could come up with a few more pretty easily. You start sandboxing a TLP draft... Wait, let me double check nothing like this exists... Crap, it does!

That feel when you hear that a restaurant you loved going to years ago has closed down.

Granted, they weren't doing very well, and when I went there about 2-3 years ago I already suspected it would be the last time.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

When you're scared to mention that you really like a... certain work on the TV Tropes Forum out of fear of being made fun of.

That feel when you're genuinely curious about something, but don't wanna pry—

Also that feel when so very sleepy ;-;

That feeling when you jump into conclusions too quickly and don't know the full context of what's really going on.

And the fact that I tend to be a bit scatterbrained.

Tfw you apparently can't pour banana bread mixture into a lined loaf pan -.- (I ended up pouring it over one of the sticking-up bits of the baking paper causing it to fold over on top of the part in the bottom of the pan where the mixture was supposed to go, bc apparently I can't aim for shit >.> That was when I gave up and got mum to do it)

That feel when you write a long post for the "What do you know about the work above?" thread, and someone replies with "Nothing" before you have the chance to post... again.

[up][up] Believe me, I had to start reserving posts to prevent people from doing that… and side note, that might be why I started harping on about Toejam And Earl lately.

TFW you write a question, expecting someone to give a well thought-out response, and literally, the one thing they write is "no", before moving on.

That feeling of joy when you see a newbie's first TLP attempt go from a tiny bomb-attracting stub to a very well-written draft.
