I wonder if we are hated in other small countries that only our military tropers know about?

We need a new picture for Trope-tan. Her face looks really squished and malformed in that picture, and the coloring seems really off.

Hell, I'm sure someone's already drawn a better picture for it.

I'll see if I can open an IP thread for this.

I don't like the design itself, to be honest. Who did it?

It's not bad...just too rough and unpolished and off-model-looking to be really the perfect image to use.

If Mokona Zero was still here, he could draw a decent Trope-tan.

A baby salamander is called a newt. <- New thing you learned today.

Weeeeell...newts are actually Pleurodelinae, a subfamily of the Salamandridae. Baby salamanders are generally called 'tadpoles'.

I spent my weekend chasing adult newts through a forest.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind did a way better deconstruction of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, just sayin', and they didn't even need Zooey Deschanel.

In my opinion, that film showcased two individuals with actual personality disorders, instead of just showcasing a quirky personality type.

(500) Days of Summer was a fantastic film, and I'm kind of sick and tired of people taking away from it in the wrong way.

@nerd: xD

@joe: Either they take away from it blaming one or both of the protagonists and labeling them as bad characters, or they dismiss it as just another "manic-pixie" romantic comedy. I especially hate it when I see posts on Tumblr completely condemning the character Tom. Or, especially infuriating, is when some people find Zooey's character to be "bitchy" or whatever. Especially in Youtube comments. =__=

I never saw it in its entirety. What little I saw, though, gave me the impression that Tom was not meant to be sympathetic, no?

I think he was meant to be at least a little sympathetic, even if you can't relate to him on a personal level. The problem with Tom was that he grew up on excessively idealizing romantic experiences, the complete opposite of Summer.

It has to be admitted but summer did exploit and lead on Tom. The evil she temptress.

I don't think she led him on. She got tired of him and ended it when she wasn't interested anymore. Granted that doing it over a plate of pancakes wasn't the best idea (wasted panclocks), but she didn't lead him on when they were together.
