Odd TV Tropes confessions

I like pretending that the people I talk to on here look like whatever their avatar is. I dunno why

Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behind

You’re saying I actually look like Superman? I’m flattered.

I like to keep my audience riveted.

yes.

Apparently I currently look like a bread dog.

Several times now, I've added an example to a trope page in alphabetical order only to realize after that the examples haven't actually been alphabetized. It just so happened that a series of examples around mine just so happened to end up in alphabetical order, apparently unintentionally.

Now, I personally think all examples should be in alphabetical order everywhere anyway and it should be a requirement to leave the TLP that the examples are alphabetized, so I don't feel bad about it.

So I'm Gaston and LeFou?

Check out my forum game: Rate the above YMMV.

Yes, congrats

Is this going to keep going until I've said this to everyone?

Sometimes I keysmash for my to-do list because writing "zces cleanup" is boring.

Sameeeee, my most recent To-Do list message is "Bleepbloop"

I also apparently saved a Hunger Games Simulator link???

Other gems include "zcehell" and "hell2 hell harder", "Me Me Big Boy", and an X-Men one called "ZCE Men".

I get annoyed when people do ^ instead of . I don't know why, I just do

Every time I see a draft launched with a name I don't recognize I immediately get scared it's a rogue launch, even though in most cases it's the legit sponsor who I just never paid attention to.

Ohhhhh fudge. Where to begin. Not even sure if any of these count, but whatev.

I get really sad when my favourite tropes are either no longer tropes, or are prohibited from having examples; I still have those pages bookmarked. I'm kinda terrified that it'll happen to all of my favourite tropes. ;-;

Speaking of bookmarks, I've got a lot of TV Tropes pages bookmarked (second-most amount of bookmarks, at that) but they're all disorganized.

I've been around since sometime 2012^note (though not as "Cibryll"; that's as of early February this year), but the first time I've edited a page that wasn't a Troper (or Troper Wall) page was in this year.

Me too. (Though sometimes The Dragon is a literal dragon… right?)

Same here… at least, on those ultra rare occasions that I can gather up the Braviary to do so, haha. (Or to fix red links resulting from typos, or fixing spoiler tags.)

Only pages I can edit without giving in to anxiety or whatev would be Troper Walls, my Sandbox and my Troper pages.
Being so scared of messing up so badly that I get edit-banned… kinda makes it hard to make a page for a work that lacks one ;-;

Me too, though this isn't restricted to TVT. (Or DVD, but that's a whole different thing.)

"What ails you, my friend? Stay a while, and listen~"

Believe me when I say that the only reason you'd get banned is if you mess up even after being given the advice to fix the problem. People who refuse to listen or ask for help get banned, people who are trying their hardest but slip on occasion rarely ever do. So I can't imagine you'd do anything bad enough to be insta-banned over it.

I just went back and added context to an example I don't even remember writing ten years ago.

It happens :P

Sometimes I add obscure trope entries to Trope Report but have that voice in the back of my head saying "are we sure we want to plug this one? We sure we shouldn't kick it to TRS?"

And then I say "shut up voice I need a trope does it matter that much"

I left the Cult of Fidough after a day because I was confusing myself for other people.

I get a bit emotional reading Creator Killer entries, despite often being unfamiliar with the creators and their works in question.

I changed my avatar for the same reason, except I think I waited a little bit longer than you did.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Re: thinking The Dragon refers to literal dragons

There's precedent for similarly-named tropes getting renamed due to the name getting taken literally. Kid-Appeal Character started off as The Bumblebee and, among other problems, had issues with people thinking it was about actual bees.

---

I have half a dozen or so draft work pages floating around, but they just linger for ages in sandbox form because descriptions hardly ever come naturally to me. If I do get some inspiration for how to describe the work, it's almost certainly not an entire desription all at once.

I don't actually have any Bumblebee icons, I just think the nickname is funny.

Sometimes I get the thought to make a second account so that I can edit pages that I dont want people to know that I like, but I'm pretty sure thats not allowed so whatever.
