Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:
- When writing a profile, take note of the following:
- The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning, a paragraph of reasoning to justify taking a trope should be sufficient. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Attempting to work on ideas without a nomination and at least one net thumbs-up will not be accepted regardless of how much you have written already. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
- If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. For reworks in particular, nominate the idea as you would with new characters or profiles. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
- In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread
. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user, either in the Pantheon or the Sandbox sections.
- In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread
- If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters. Some real-life individuals, including content creators (fictional content created by them is still fair-game, but do not bring up the creators themselves in such cases), may be considered disqualified for profiles due to controversies that would make them concern the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. To determine where a current creator would be disqualified:
- Wait for at least a month after the latest significant update for a creator's controversy before any decision can be made. If a confirmation from the questioned creator (or associates) themselves occurs, then wait for a week.
- Immediate disqualification for either a guilty sentence in a significant court case against the creator, or evidence of consistently repeated, deliberate, and/or intentionally provocative hate speech and advocacy of dehumanizing perspectives, with lesser examples warranting caution instead.
- For creators with a clear persona of their character disclosed before any scandal, the persona can have a profile with no mentioning of their real-life information. Ambiguous existence of a persona would have to be discussed further hand for anything more decisive.
- For obvious reasons, gods cannot be followers, high priests, or heralds. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
- No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
- You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
- The very first thing any contributor should do before working on an idea or a profile is to propose and nominate the idea on the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
- When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
- When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
- You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread
in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
- For new and reworked deities, 3
means the profile will have a one-week waiting period.
- For new and reworked deities, 4
is a 3 day waiting period.
- 5
is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
- Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
- For new and reworked deities, 3
- For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions Expansion, the following rules apply:
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3
is a 3 day waiting period.
- 4
is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
- For new Treasures or Dominions, 3
- Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be one flavor text.
- The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like to look like Character Shilling.
- Every troper new to the Pantheon is barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles, this means avoiding the usage of "
" or "
".
- Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
- Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for the deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
- Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
- On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others. After all, no one is responding to their idea.
- You can also adopt a profile or idea to work on from another contributor by messaging a request to them (preferably through private messages). Even if you get their permission, you still have to announce your adoption to the forum. Note that if the idea wasn't nominated in the first place you still have to properly nominate it.
- When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
- Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to note in a trope example that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, correct the situation by deleting the offending text. This goes for any non-Pantheon page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Pantheon.Good And Evil Colors.
- Do not bring things that would incite fights; hot topics and 'urgent' news are not pertinent to the Pantheon's mission. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight each other, so don't suggest things that go in that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
- To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
- Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.
- When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
- Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page
, as proper English spelling and grammar is expected.
- All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also, be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
- The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
- A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
- If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in another House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity at most.
- For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part of their series' official soundtracks from the media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters' appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
- For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlight a character's behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute it to the original artist. Due to the website's dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website
is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too many bytes, it is suggestible to use this site
to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, run the compressed image through other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikis to look for better images, as even wikis for the series might not contain good official images.
- Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that make sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
- Please refer to Text Formatting Rules when writing a profile, since understanding how to make and edit site pages in general is a necessity for working on profiles or other Pantheon content. Additionally, if you are not experienced with English, refer to this forum page
- Pantheon Content:
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally an expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entirely from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
- Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well-advised not to abuse them. The only house where trope-less profiles are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
- For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
- Do not write in self-promotion or blatant advertising. Minor references to something are fine but writing that clearly intends to advertise something will not be given toleration.
- Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
- For Profile Standards:
- Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place, or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
- Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
- Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending on if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
- On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
- Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
- Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
- Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
- A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
- Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.
- Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warper deities capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
- Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warper deities that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
- Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low-level Reality Warper beings capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
- Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
- Demigods: Badass Normal citizens of the pantheon, making up for their lower status with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
- Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on the representation of power mentioned above.
- Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
- Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud
or YouTube
.
- Alignment: Good, evil, neutral, etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here; the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignments to characters that don't have an alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
- For Pokémon deities only:
- Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
- Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
- Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
- Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
- Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
- High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case the deity would be unavailable, incapacitated, dead, or otherwise incapable of carrying out their duties. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
- Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
- Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
- Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
- Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
- Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either from their perspective or yours.
- Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
- Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
- Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
- Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
- Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly oppose or are opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects", "On Good Terms With", and/or "Commonality Connection") in terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
- Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
- Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
- OPTIONAL NOTE FOR CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: Should the list for Character relationships (IE. Allies, Enemies, etc.) become too big, categorize a certain number of characters to a specific group putting them on a sublist (One example: Luigi is from the same world as his brother Mario, hence Luigi should be fall under the Super Mario Bros sublist.)
- Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part, the order is irrelevant:
- The Ascension Text: This is the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
- The Bio: A brief synopsis of the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
- Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
- Domains: Things that the place has links to.
- Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as to where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
- Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.
- An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
- Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
- Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
- Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
- Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
- Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
- Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
- Domains: Things that the item has links to.
- Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as to where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
- Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
- Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
- And some more trivia/facts.
- And a couple more.
- Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

Ok, I have this idea for characters to add to the Pantheon...its ok if I propose them?
Dunno if its a possible niche here as its not technically a trope per se, but a combination of two. A loyalist Fallen Angel, a Fallen Angel that still believes on God.
Does that count for a entry here or not?
Edited by KazuyaProta on Jan 14th 2022 at 8:16:32 AM
Watch me destroying my country
Castlevania!Satan has Fallen Angel, and unfortunately, unless the trope has explicit variations listed on the page like Muscle Angst, you cannot ascend someone for a variation of a trope.
Finished with Amelia Bedelia's profile.
Evaluation Mode
Amelia Bedelia, Goddess of Being Literal-Minded

- Potential Hall: Mindsets
- Quasideity
- Symbol: A lemon meringue pie
- Alignment: Lawful Good, despite her actions making her look Chaotic Good
- Portfolio: Taking Statements Literally To Comedic Effect, Full-Name Basis, Ultimate Job Security As A Result Of Incredible Cooking Skills, Inherent Blunt Metaphor Understanding
- Domains: Servants, Literal Thinking, Silliness, Mishaps
- Heralds: Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, and her pet dog, Finally
- Allies: Adeleine, Alfred Pennyworth, Anton Ego, Artoria Pendragon, Data, Death (Discworld), Peridot, Violet Evergarden
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Fiona Mayfield, G36, Hayate Ayasaki, Rem & Ram, Sakuya Izayoi
- Odd Friendship with: Kite Man, Linkle, The Scarlet Sisters, The Trix Rabbit
- Avoided by: Spongebob
- Troublesome relationship with: La Squadra Esecuzioni
- Dusting the furniture, putting out the lights, removing the spots, many a short phrase with multiple or ambiguous meanings that we all tend to take for granted. Except if your name is Amelia Bedelia (and she insists on only being referred to as such), a housekeeper who takes many requests and statements at their most literal meaning, to comedic effect. When one gives Amelia Bedelia something to perform, any misinterpretation they never thought could happen will happen once Amelia Bedelia puts her mind to it. To the shock of her clients, and the amusement of the readers, Amelia Bedelia demonstrates the craziest results of giving a metaphor to a mind that can only process in the literal.
- On a very good day where Amelia Bedelia did a splendid amount of housework with little problem, Mr. Rogers, amazed by the efficiency, claimed that Amelia Bedelia "was practically doing God's work". And at that very moment, a group of talent scouts from a place known as "The Pantheon" arrived to interview them all. Confused and anxious about the sudden meeting, Mrs. Rogers attempted to dissuade the interviewers claiming that as well as Amelia Bedelia could be, she could make many, many, mistakes out of misinterpretations and that "Amelia Bedelia may as well be the goddess of taking everything literally". Amelia Bedelia replied to her with "Wow, am I really a goddess?", only for one of the interviewers to answer immediately, "Well, now you are!" In an instant, they all found themselves in the Pantheon, and Amelia Bedelia granted the Literal-Minded trope, marking her ascension to becoming a Pantheon deity, as Mr. and Mrs. Rogers stared at the cameraman in the house with pure confusion.
- One of Amelia Bedelia's first interactions with other deities in the Pantheon were with other maids and servants in the Pantheon. She was excited to work with a new variety of house maids and servants, also being surprised at some of their combat skills as well. G36, Rem & Ram, Fiona Mayfield, and other maids and butlers alike, couldn't really say the same, however, due to how her metaphor-misinterpreting mindset only increased the work they'd have to manage. They don't despise her for it, but Amelia Bedelia is simply a lot to handle for them. Hayate Ayasaki also had some issues cleaning up after the messes that Amelia Bedelia made, during an incident where he and Amelia Bedelia were dealing with robbers doing their usual business at the manor they were working in at the time. Due to a statement targeted at Hayate to "clean them out", which Amelia Bedelia heard, she got a nearby faucet and proceeded to douse a robber in soap and water, and quickly spun him around before dressing him up to look easy on everyone's eyes. That thug, surprised by what just happened, left the manor a new man entirely, while Hayate, after dealing with the other robbers, had to clean up the mess that Amelia Bedelia made in the process.
- Despite the tendency of Amelia Bedelia to take everything literally, her most frequent masters, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, end up letting things go in the end and understand to make their requests less ambiguous and more clear. When things are fully clarified with no room for misinterpretation, she's more than capable of doing a fantastic job. Alfred Pennyworth was one of the first deities to pick up on this fact, and after some time figuring out how to rewrite orders to make pure literal sense, he's made Amelia Bedelia's experience being hired for Wayne Enterprises mutually positive, showing others what potential Amelia Bedelia has. Other people looking to hire house servants have attempted the same, but they accidentally slip in something that could be interpreted a different way they expected, due to never expecting anyone to try that alternate interpretation in the first place. That's where Amelia Bedelia starts surpassing those expectations and pulling off the most unexpected executions for commands that people think couldn't happen, due to how many humans are used to metaphors and figurative expressions.
- Due to encouragement from some of the artists in the Pantheon, Amelia Bedelia began to set up a little display room for some of her drawings, inspired by the "drawing" of things that likely would be drawn in other ways. Her most notable pieces of artwork display things like a set of drapes, an old revolver, a bucket of water from a well, and a set of cards. Some are concerned of how Amelia Bedelia ended up getting into a situation that led to that second "draw", though she claims that it wasn't anything significantly threatening, though some wonder if Amelia Bedelia could survive a classic Showdown at High Noon somehow. Amelia Bedelia has also befriended Adeleine, another artist, and has even practiced making drawings with her, though Adeleine's advice sometimes has trouble getting through to Amelia Bedelia.
Amelia Bedelia: So, how can these shaded drawings "hatch" anyway? And what would this one hatch into, exactly?Adeleine: ...
- Despite Amelia Bedelia's many mistakes caused by her tendency to misinterpret statements, the amount of times she's been sent out of employment due to such mistakes is actually pretty low. Her main method of keeping her job is simply giving them a very good meal, most often her well known lemon meringue pie. Sounds hard to believe, but Amelia Bedelia's cooking really is that good. And to silence any doubts on her skills, a freshly baked pie from Amelia Bedelia was served to the infamous food critic, Anton Ego. From the first bite, Anton Ego showed splendid delight in the pie and barely held back his urges to devour it like a messy pig, displaying immense approval of Amelia Bedelia's cooking, considering her cooking as worthy of a full five-star rating. Considering how difficult it is to get complete and absolutely positive reviews from the Grim Eater himself, many a chef that have struggled to make a dish that can even slightly impress Ego were baffled by Amelia Bedelia's talents.
- Yet, even with her talents in cooking, it too is not invulnerable to being compromised to her inability to understand metaphors, especially when it comes to recipes that she's not familiar with. Sometimes, she'll substitute date fruits for paper calendar dates, and trying to mix butter with peanuts, until she was eventually told about the actual peanut butter. Her initial attempts to try and make a sponge cake had also ended up scaring away Spongebob, who frankly did not want to be made into a sponge cake. It was quite a shame too, since the two had gotten along before due to their struggles with driving lessons, like with Amelia Bedelia actually searching for forks in the roadways.
- Even homophones are vulnerable to being taken incorrectly by Amelia Bedelia, due to ambiguity on what they could refer to if heard and not read by text. If she were to hear about a Serial Killer, then she'd be wondering about how such people could murder cereal. That said, she's worried over the safety of the Trix Rabbit, and did warn him about the "cereal killers" in the Pantheon. As unnecessary as her concerns are, the mascot appreciates her intentions, though making Amelia Bedelia get Trix cereal for him is difficult, since she always mistakes "Trix" for "tricks". These kinds of misunderstandings did have some benefit from when she and Mr. Rogers unintentionally wandered into their domain due to misunderstandings of "bearing left" and "right turns". Upon meeting the two sisters, Mr. Rogers suggested to Amelia Bedelia about "using a stake on them" in fear. While the two Scarlets were prepared for a fight, Amelia Bedelia instead zipped to the nearest kitchen and cooked up a steak dinner for all of them, and it was so good that all tensions and potential for violence had ceased completely, leading to a very peaceful encounter with everyone leaving happily.
- Remilia decided later to have Amelia Bedelia work under her for a while, which led to the latter having to deal with one of Remilia's more notorious servants, Sakuya, who in turn had to deal with Amelia Bedelia's quirks. While work overall being done more efficiently and quickly with Amelia Bedelia around, Sakuya only felt more exhausted by having to prevent Amelia Bedelia from doing something potentially disasterous with her literal-minded interpretations of commands. Amelia Bedelia had also attempted to ask Sakuya about learning the "staring daggers" technique from her, but Sakuya, realizing that in Amelia Bedelia's terms, it meant "knives for staring with", Sakuya simply answered that she wasn't ready.
- Out of curiosity, some looked into why Amelia Bedelia always takes everything literally, considering how ingrained such a way of thinking is. They found out that such a mindset is actually present throughout her family, with much of them dealing with things the way Amelia Bedelia would herself. Such an answer had only brought up more questions, including how the likes of them managed to make it through life despite taking everything literally. Others would note her particular tics in her childhood, like actually having her nose pressed onto the books she read. From there, some claimed that it was no wonder that Amelia Bedelia doesn't understand the further nuances of language and metaphors with how she keeps seeing every statement at their face value.
- There were plenty of other Literal-Minded deities alongside Amelia Bedelia, which even included one of the Death entities in the Pantheon, the one from Discworld in particular. Since that world, many are Literal-Minded just like Amelia Bedelia for various reasons, like metaphors never catching onto the language for their dwarves, for example. Death himself was also troubled with metaphors, and when hiring Amelia Bedelia for the usual kinds of mundane tasks, she completed her work perfectly due to Death never using expressions that Amelia Bedelia could misunderstand. They even get into long conversations and laments about humans' usage of metaphors and all the mishaps and trouble it has caused for them both. There was also Peridot, a member of Gemkind, who among the other Crystal Gems, had problems getting used to human metaphors, even elaborating on the time where she went running while carrying a pizza box for two days. Among the many things they discussed, methods of relieving stress from dealing with metaphor troubles were one of the topics, and to "go fly a kite" was one of them. Of all the surprising events that Kite Man had seen, getting asked to fly kites with a maid, a gem-based alien, and a Grim Reaper was something that neither him nor the rest of the Pantheon ever expected to ever see, and yet there he was, the four of them flying kites together.
- Given the trouble she got into when hired as a medical assistant to be called, Amelia Bedelia is considered unworthy of jobs that are generally intolerant of mistakes, including medical jobs, let alone life-staking, err, life-threatening jobs that leave no room for Amelia Bedelia's funny literal thinking. Engineering and machine maintenance is also something that Amelia Bedelia stays away from due to how problematic a simple mistake can cause things to go wrong. Due to knowing that her ways of thinking can be a problem, she did try and get advice from Data, due to him also being part of a space crew and having problems with non-literal expressions, being an android. Data advised her to always second-guess orders and ask her requesters more often to clarify, since those who know her well would be very willing to explain what they really mean before trouble happens. There was also Violet Evergarden, who had similar problems as a result of her troublesome childhood preventing her from learning proper social skills, but she was willing to help Amelia Bedelia out since she had some success growing out of it.
- While Artoria Pendragon does consider Shirou as a far more reliable companion overall, she too accepted the idea of having Amelia Bedelia also be a regular servant. Considering how troublesome it is to get around Amelia Bedelia's way of thinking, Saber insists on not firing Amelia Bedelia, to the latter's relief of not getting fired out of a circus cannon. It's rather obvious that the main, if not only reason that Saber wants to keep such a troublesome maid around is due to all of the delicious meals that Amelia Bedelia keeps making for her. Additionally, when word got around about Amelia Bedelia working for Saber, some actually assumed that Amelia Bedelia actually became an actual Servant instead of just a plain worker. While their thoughts were proven wrong, people still joke that if Amelia Bedelia did become one, they should run for their lives the moment she comes at them with a pen.
- Sometimes, Amelia Bedelia has made positive events out of her literal-mindedness. Due to encouragement from Mr. Rogers to keep literally "dressing the chicken" at times, though as a joke, she did continue to do so whenever deemed appropriate. This extended to actual chickens, so Amelia Bedelia and Linkle got along over dressing up Cuccos in suitable clothing. Additionally, the time she was put in a meeting over a mistake she did, and people talking about it as "looking at the elephant in the room", prompting her to point out the Blue Elephant in the room with them, who had managed to evade everyone else's intention before them. Considering that the Blue Elephant managed to be so stealthy that they got away with several artifacts from the Great Treasury's Maximum Security section, so Amelia Bedelia may have thwarted whatever achievements the Blue Elephant was going to complete with those artifacts.
- She even went out to sort the names put in her profile in alphabetical order after being asked to "sort out the relationships". Thanks, Amelia Bedelia!
- During a party that Amelia Bedelia was attending to as one of the staff, she ended up causing some tension over her inability to get the metaphors she was told. Unknownst to them, La Squadra Esecuzioni had entered the party in disguise, and Ghiaccio broke his disguise (literally, even) to rant about all of the others' insistence on relying on such metaphors, further ruining the mood with his outrage. Luckily, Amelia Bedelia managed to get Ghiaccio to quiet down by giving him an exquisite Italian dish that she had prepared before the party. While the rest of the Hitman Team don't care too much about her otherwise, they did admit that they were impressed in how quickly she defused Ghiaccio's anger, and they begrudgingly left the party with their cover blown. The commotion and drama that Amelia Bedelia stopped also managed to get people off the main reason people were getting upset at her in the first place: Amelia Bedelia's paranoia that people would put pointy objects in the fruit punch.

KILL CONSUME MULTIPLY CONQUER@ Amelia:
Got a few ideas in mind for later. Which of them work if any?
- Jimbo Kern and Ned Gerblansky, Co-Gods of Backgrounds Outdated By The Passage Of Time: Stan's uncle Jimbo, and Ned, are Vietnam veterans. When the show was made in the late 90s this was pretty easy to pass off the kid's older uncle and friend having fought in the conflict. But as South Park continues their backgrounds become less plausible and they should be senior citizens by now, but their backstory and apparent remains the same. Admittedly this might factor into them being Out of Focus
- Anansi, God of Sneaky Spiders (Hall of Arthropods)-Anansi is the Trickster God of many an African Mythology. The god of stories, he's a spider who despite being one of the weaker gods, is known for outsmarting his opponents and tricking them in order to collect more stories. He's quite the Magnificent Bastard when need be
- Meganium, Tropius and Aurorus, Divine Triumvirate of Friendly Sauropods (Hall of Mesozoic Beasts)-these three Pokemon are all based on different species of sauropods, and they're so far the only sauropod Pokemon. All three of them are friendly. Meganium is peaceful in nature compared to its fellow starters and their breath heals plants. Tropius is amicable to its surroundings and is more concerned about bananas. And Aurorus is a Foil to its Royal Brat counterpart Tyrantrum by being gentle by nature as they didn't have any natural predators
I will give you a
for Anansi, mainly because I can see that there are some adaptations of the figure itself, so there is a pop-cultural presence, even if it's not big. That said, I'm giving the Sauropod Pokemon trio a
. Being a large dinosaur enthusiast myself, Sauropods have a lot of depictions, so I'm pretty sure there are better examples to find than another Pokemon, such as Gertie, Arlo, Dink, Alpha, and even the Brachiosaurus, despite the last simply just being an animal with no deeper characterization.
Abstaining on the South Park suggestion.

WHERE IS KRYPTO, I mean, WHERE IS THE DOG!!!Got two potential trope changes in the mean time before I bring home the bacon, one repost and one new.
Jirachi, God of the Paper Talisman.
Reasoning: The paper talisman plays a significant role in both the Pokémon's central concept and his movie, as it is stated that any wish written down on the talisman will become true when Jirachi finally wakes up from his 1000 year slumber, with the awakening and subsequent wish granting being integral to the conflict of the aforementioned film.
Bendy, Messenger God of the House of Mouse
Reasoning: The entirety of his game takes place in an abandoned animation studio decades after going out of business. To reflect this, every cartoon character in the game is a pastiche of a famous real-world toon, with the title character being Mickey Mouse as a demon, having a similar body shape, face, and glove design to the Mouse, and playing the same role as Mickey due to being the Mascot of the In-Universe studio. Supplementary materials revealed that there was an entire Show Within a Show franchise similar to the one Mickey is infamous for in our own world, including cartoons and comics that are obviously Shout Outs to their Real Life counterparts.
Is that
for both of them or just him?

SKREEEEEEEONK!
Dang, that's a pretty damn good trope for Bendy. That's a
from me.
Abstaining from that. I feel like there are better candidates for an evil ice user.
Edited by kingvideogames on Jan 15th 2022 at 11:37:53 AM
Time to rise and shine. Good morning!Speaking of proposals, I have a restoration in mind.
The Bittercold, Divine Entity of Evil Ice Users
Reasoning: The Bittercold has power over ice, and is made of fear and despair, which means it is Made of Evil. This even applies to its base, the Glacier Palace, which ends up destroyed upon its defeat. It shatters to pieces upon being defeated and this trope is even involved in its name. Bittercold. It was also The Man Behind the Man to Ice-Type Legendary Kyurem, who is a villain in this game. It’s appearance is supposed to look somewhat like a snowflake.

“Get Snuck-Up On.”![]()

@Gigan
for Jirachi and Bendy
Here are some proposals.
Kagura Mutsuki for Strong and Skilled
- Kagura Mutsuki is one of the most powerful characters in the world of BlazBlue. Hs strength is recognized by virtually every character in the game. Unlike mostly every other character, Kagura is 100% human, does not draw power from the resident Eldritch Location, or posses a Weapon of Mass Destruction. He's trained for most of his entire life, and even continues to the present day. Thanks to this he's able to not only fight people like Ragna the Bloodedge, Jin Kisaragi, Mu -No.12- and Azrael, but actually win.
Jubei for Bakeneko and Nekomata
- Jubei is a Cat type Beastkin, that has lived for over 100 years. His tail is split n two, can speak the human language, and walk on two legs. His kind have lived in secrets for centuries, and very may have been the in-universe inspiration for the Nekomata. Hakumen even refers to both Jubie and Kokonoe as Bakeneko in the japanese dub.
- I know that Koneko Toujou already has Bakeneko and Nekomata, but I was thinking we could change her trope to Pint-Sized Powerhouse. Being one of the smallest of the main cast (4ft 6 in, or 138 cm) while also being one of the physically strongest members of the series. Having surpassed her older sister, who rivals an Ultimate-Class Devil in strength. I'm also aware that Neopolitan currently has this trope, but I also though we could instead give her Cute Mute. Neopolitan genuinely cannot speak, has a pleasing and teasing personality, even if she's insane. While Sona Buvelle is currently using this trope, she also has another trope in use, Impossibly Low Neckline.

- On a dying, withering planet in the far reaches of space, its inhabitants, the Shroobs, plotted to find and conquer greener pastures. They managed to find a perfect replacement homeworld, the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, and so spearheaded an invasion on the land. They laid waste the the land, conquered Peach's Castle, and sucked out the Vim out of Innocent Toads to use as energy. Meanwhile in the present, Princess Peach, Toadbert, and Toadiko went missing when they used Profeesor E. Gadd's time machine to travel to the past. Suddenly, a few strange portals appeared within Peach's Castle, and when Mario and Luigi hopped in, they were transported to the past. Teaming up with their younger selves, the four set out to stop the Shroob invasion once and for all.
Those who fought against aliens include John Nada, The Peregrine Falcons and The Sparrows Team, The Monsters from Monsters vs Aliens, Gordon Freeman and the Strike Witches. The Prethoryn Scourge are aliens who invade other areas because they're on the verge of extinction due to mysterious entities only known as "The Hunters".

SING TO ME, LEND ME THE SONG OF BLASPHEMY![]()
Worth mentioning the Lantern Corps, considering they're basically an intergalactic threat with no redeemable qualities to be seen. The Shroobs, or at least the Princesses, can inspire enough fear to be considered eligible for a Sinestro Corps member, but their chaotic and destructive nature means that Sinestro cannot bring himself to consider making any ties with them. Atrocitus would hate the Shroobs due to their invasive nature, given that his own family was a victim of an invasion, which is what led to him becoming a Red Lantern.
Given at one point, the Shroobs hosted a coliseum event, perhaps an interaction between them and Mongul? Mongul himself is a sadistic warmongerer who enjoys himself by setting up gladiatorial death games as well as using a special type of plant known as the Black Mercy to lull infectees into an idealistic dream that slowly turns nightmarish, which traps them in a Fate Worse than Death. General Zod is a fellow alien invader and conquerer, however, he is more motivated by a Might Makes Right mentality and seeks to preserve his race's presence and survival first and foremost. While he would see some kind of similarity between himself and the Shroobs, he would see them as enemies, thinking their destructive and omnicidal nature would be too much for him to stomach.
WHERE IS KRYPTO, I mean, WHERE IS THE DOG!!!![]()

Did you remove interactions from their profile? Because there were plenty of those.



What should I add to these two?
