You know how a trope needs to be common enough to be a trend on multiple pieces of media, but also have enough meaning to affect the story in a way that defines it? Well, not on my watch, it doesn’t. Post the name and description, and maybe even some examples, of a trope you’d never want to see on this wiki. It can be People Sit On Chairs, Too Rare To Trope, The Same But More (Specific), or any other violation of wiki policy. It can even be YMMV or Trivia, too!
Also, no references to Mario Pissing or Gay—especially not the latter. If you do that, I will holler your post. Please be original.
Without further ado, let’s begin.

Either Foreshadowing Or A Red Herring: An episodic work blatantly hints that a certain future development will happen, but since it hasn't happened yet (and/or this is a Recap page where we can't include information from future episodes) we don't know whether it's proper Foreshadowing or a Red Herring. Examples include the hints of Kris being the Knight in Deltarune and the hints of Adrien Felix Adrien and Felix Adrien, Felix, and Kagami potentially fucking anyone i don't goddamn know anymore being sentimonsters in Miraculous Ladybug.
