Inspired by Jacksfilms’s Yesterday I Asked You series, or YIAY for short. I’m going to ask a Jacksfilms-style question, and other posters must give humorous answers. Tomorrow, I will repeat the question and give my favorite answers. I will then let another poster ask a new question, and the cycle repeats (at least) every day.
If the original poster isn’t available to give their favorite answers, another poster is free to step in and give theirs (barring their own).
I have a question for you. Describe TV Tropes in just 4 words.

Hide underground like a mole
they'll never find me
"...This is too much information for a brain that just wants to visit Planet Tensuns..."Bring out the only thing that can handle the ninjas: one Bruce Lee.
Lure them into a group so they lose their powers, then drop a big rock on them all.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Set myself on fire. Because they can't grab me if I'm on fire.
You keep using the term "POV". I do not think it means what you think it means.Can we please add a system that if the host of the prompt is gone for more than 2 days, then someone else can reveal the results in their place? That's how it was done for dress-up themes in a Discord server I'm in.
A few days ago, I asked, You're being chased by ninjas. What do you do? Here are some of my favorite answers:
- Just accept my fate. Beats having to outrun ninjas of all things. - Generic Guy 2000
- Refresh the page often and make sure they don’t post even one millisecond before me. - Purple Eyed Guma
- Lure them into a group so they lose their powers, then drop a big rock on them all. - wingedcatgirl
- Set myself on fire. Because they can't grab me if I'm on fire. - AoeAbility
I don’t think you understand how important the five-minute documentary on kangaroos is to this action film!
It’s not about the desti-something, it’s about the whatever.Listen, we need to make sure that the actress' feet take up most of the frame throughout this entire scene. Yes, this is most definitely an artistic choice and is absolutely not in any way tied to the foot fetish I've been trying to hide from you all, I promise.

Don't you ever fix your lips to say that, bruh. I'm sitting right here and I got my daughter in the backseat"You don't get it! The part where the main character is taught by her boyfriend about the wonders of trading NFTs for ethereum on the blockchain is the key point of her Character Arc! This is why I'm the director!"
Whatever happens to the character must also happen to the actor. What am I directing? Shot for shot remakes of all the Saw films

You don't understand that lesbian sex is important to the plot of our slice-of-life film!
Send my love to your new lover, treat her better…"I thought this director was a notorious auteur, but we're nearly done with production and they haven't demanded a single th— oh, speak of the devil, huh." "Hello, editing team. You're about to learn why I have my reputation. I only have one change in mind — triple-invert the entire film."
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Recut the movie so every word is in alphabetical order!
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Just accept my fate. Beats having to outrun ninjas of all things.
I’m gonna put some Gloom in your eye.
