For a list of bad laconics, see Sandbox.Pages Needing Better Laconics.
For generally accepted guidelines for laconics, see Sandbox.Laconic Wiki Template.
Today I found out an interesting fact from troper Ironeye:
Don't ever make the mistake of using the Laconic version as the canonical trope meaning—the laconics are often written by people who don't actually understand the drop. In this case, the laconic only corresponds to one possible cause of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy.
The Laconic Description for DIAA states as follows:
The thing is, these descriptions are supposed to make it easier to understand what the page is about. If they can't be accurate as well as short and sweet, then there's a problem.
So for starters, what would be a better description for DIAA?

Removing VideoGame.Sweet Home wicks, which is used in:
Laconic.Cthulhu Mythos The Sleeping Girl Of The Miasma Sea:
She / Her
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
Maybe this for Laconic.Digimon Data Squad:
Laconic.Gensou Skydrift (though it doesn't have much of a story):
Laconic.Immortals Fenyx Rising
I'm thinking this as a replacement:

low-poly Shinri
those look good, tho for the All-Ghouls School one, I was referring to the trope, but that laconic for the comic looks good too.
- Replaced.
"A Japanese DeviantArt."
Since Laconic.Deviant Art is:
how about replacing Pixiv's with:
"An large online Japanese gallery of art."? Sorta bland though?

Bland is better than a pseudo "X meets Y".
She / Her
(x3) Thanks.
Ok and I like your suggestion.
Now a lurker. Thanks for everything. | he/him
Agreed. Murloc is right—bland beats unclear. I think you can go ahead and replace it Malady.
low-poly Shinri
But what about All-Ghouls School, Its the only one I haven't replaced cause, I was referring to the trope (but I'll use the one you suggested for the comic).
She / Her
Oh yeah, I was thinking this:
low-poly Shinri
All righty, I'll use that
She / Her
Replaced.
That doesn't explain anything, does it?

- Laconic.Ventriloquism: "Throwing your voice."
- Talking while hiding you're the one doing it, typically for someone who can't talk themselves.

I prefer the current, honestly.
Bread and Circuses has two, the first one's way better.

I'd like to apologize for all this.
Officially intimidated
Yeah, I support keeping the first and zorching the second.
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300
She / Her
Seconded. I don't think the second one sounds accurate anyway.
She / Her
Thank you.

Excuse my multiposting. The other day, in Laconic.Killed Off For Real, somebody removed a bunch of relevant details without an edit reason. (Again, I agree you don't need edit reasons for all edits. However, I feel one should use them in situations like these.)
Would it be ok if I bring them back, just with "or"s instead of "/"s? If someone wants to do so instead, however, you can.

In my sandbox, I started a folder of bad laconics so if I need some laconic improving, I now know where to look.
Any ways, Heres the first 3:
- Touken Ranbu
- Bungo to Alchemist
Touken Ranbu, but with writers in place of swords.
- Namu Amida Butsu! -UTENA-
Bungo to Alchemist, but it's Buddhas instead of writers.
FYI, Kan Colle's Laconic is:
"Japanese online Collectible Card Game featuring moe-anthropomorphized warships."
Hope that helps?
