- Impeded Messenger:
- In One Corpse Too Many, Torold Blund and Nicholas Faintree were tasked by one of Empress Maud's followers to transport treasure to friendly borders just before the fall of a stronghold. Early in their journey, they are attacked by a ruthless opportunist who kills Faintree. Blund fights off the killer but then comes under attack by enemy soldiers who force him to hide the treasure before fleeing (although he later comes back for it).
- In St. Peter's Fair, the victim was tasked with giving a letter to a fence-straddling nobleman revealing facts which would make him more inclined to support Empress Maud. He is killed by an opportunist out to get rewards from King Stephen by turning in the letter, which also reveals additional Maud loyalists in Stephen’s camp. The killer fails to find the letter, but it is destroyed and the intended recipient never joins Maud.
- In The Hermit of Eyton Forrest, Renaud Bourchier was sent to deliver a message for help for an army of Maud followers and is also entrusted with the funds to purchase that help. He never made it to his destination, with his riderless horse trotting into a town with empty saddlebags. Subverted with the reveal that Bourchier stole the money and deserted his cause rather than being waylaid by someone else.
Given how the garrison is mentioned as being starved, undermanned, demoralized, and exhausted, it is doubtful many fought to the death and it is possible those few who did die in battle had their bodies turned over for burial before the mass execution of the rest, although nothing in the text directly suggests this.
- Angst? What Angst?: The town gets over the mass execution of about a hundred of its husbands, sons, brothers, and fathers in One Corpse Too Many fairly quickly, with their being little lingering resentment or trauma over these deaths for the rest of that book, let alone in later books. Nor does garrison survivor Torold Blund dwell on the deaths of so many men he served alongside (although this may be mitigated by how he was a newcomer to the castle who didn’t have long to get to know the others and would have been discouraged from mingling with many of them due to their different social classes) or his own narrow escape from sharing their fate.
@ Purge
It is implied that the crew evokes this for More Expendable Than You reasons, as he was the only crew member with kids when they started doing heists (Tommy and his wife have since had a baby) and he was previously willing to arm up against a drug dealer on the last Purge night the crew spent as cops.
Carl O.
- Token Evil Teammate: For his short time with the bank robbery crew, he is just a greedy, smarmy, swaggering creep who has no problems with the Crapsack World he lives in and lacks the Fallen Hero backstories and minor instincts of the others. He brings a gun to what was supposed to be a nonviolent burglary despite the risks it puts everyone under due to the draconian laws. And when a loved one of his was killed on a past Purge and he got a remembrance plaque, he is indifferent to the death and uses the plaque to get pity sex from women he picks up in bars. None of the others are that upset about his death, and, it's hard to blame them.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: He is introduced late in one episode and killed about halfway through the next.
@ American Tale Night Monster
- For her supposed divinations to prove she is a psychic, Madame Mousey relies on incredibly obvious clues (saying that she senses a New York mouse with a Cockney accent has traveled a great distance, etc.) and the crowd somehow buys it.
@ Monty python ymmv
- Bedevere's Insane Troll Logic witch test could just be him trying to come up with something that will see the accused woman go free while appeasing the villagers who need some superstitious reason behind the decision, with the test only (maybe) working by accident.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Sir Robin's minstrels are so hilarious with their Servile Snarker song about him that it's a shame this didn't get to be a Running Gag (maybe expanded to the other knights) throughout the quest. Instead, they spend most of their remaining scenes in a Spear Carrier role and are abruptly Killed Offscreen.
@ Reacher

Thanks, Arivne.
- Base-Breaking Character: Out of the three main protagonists, Amitie is the most divisive of the three. Some find Amitie to be adorable and endearing thanks to her being a kindhearted, outgoing, and klutzy All-Loving Hero, while others find her to be an annoying, cliché, and childish idiot who needs to grow up.
- Fandom-Enraging Misconception: It's Puyo Puyo, not Poyo Poyo''. Getting this wrong is a very good way to get on the fandom's nerves.
- Fandom Rivalry: One has formed between the Puyo Puyo and Like a Dragon fandoms. LAD fans dislike Puyo Puyo for its difficulty (being That One Sidequest in Judgment and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life), while Puyo fans don't like Sega of America's favoritism of LAD over Puyo (with LAD receiving more marketing and having all of its games officially localized, while most of Puyo remains in Japan even after Puyo Puyo Tetris and onwards become localized). It doesn't help that Like A Dragon creator Toshihiro Nagoshi has made disparaging comments
towards the Puyo eSports community (which he has since apologized for), causing swift backlash from the Puyo fandom and intensifying the rivalry.
Fandom Heresy:
- VideoGame.Puyo Puyo:
- Suggesting that you prefer to play Puyo Puyo in any mode but Tsu rules is a good way to find yourself buried under a bunch of Garbage Puyo in a Puyo battle against the fandom, since Tsu rules are considered the gold standard for Puyo Puyo, especially in competitive circles.
- Most will not care if you use the English names over the Japanese ones, but referring to Satan through his controversial English name, "Dark Prince", is not a wise move unless you wish to be attacked by Satan himself.
- Little Witch Academia:
- Unless you desire to become the target of Akko and Diana's shared Shiny Arc attack from episode 25, don't pair them up with anyone but each other. Especially not with Andrew.
- Even though it's not explicitly canon, given that Diana being a lesbian is widely accepted as Fanon (due to her Ambiguously Gay subtext with Akko), shipping her with guys is a guaranteed way to become the target of her Heat Blast spell.

Here are some more tropes for Another Apple Sleep Experiment.
• Death of a Child:This trope is subverted, as we think that one of the Cake Twins dies in a house fire, along with their dad, but Apple Bloom reveals to Twilight that the twin got out of the building in time.
• Hallucinations: It is revealed that the Applejack that Twilight and her friends have seen killing ponies is a hallucination from all of them being exposed to the Sleepless Potion by a vengeful Apple Bloom.

Pokémon » Breakout Character
- Entei is the second most popular of the Legendary Beasts. Its rise to popularity came from being the main star of Pokémon 3 the Movie: Spell of the Unown. It has made many appearances like its counterparts Raikou and Suicune throughout the franchise. It's the Final Boss and Signature Mon of Big Bad Gordor in Pokémon Ranger. It was also the first Legendary Beasts to be encountered in the spin-off games Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon. Its most notable appearance was in Pokémon Horizons: The Series, which was initially believed to be one of the Six Heroes used by Lucius.
- Raikou is a very popular Legendary Beast in its own right despite not having numerous appearances like the other Legendary Beasts. Notably, it was the star of the The Legend of Thunder made as a promotion for Pokémon Crystal, which gained more popularity when it aired as part of Pokémon Chronicles English dub. It was also the first Legendary Pokémon to be added into Pokémon Sleep.
- As the original villainous team leader of Pokémon, Giovanni has remained a popular and most recognizable villain in the franchise. One of the main sources of his popularity came from his recurring appearances in Pokémon the Series as the recurring antagonist and leader of the popular Team Rocket Trio. Notably, he even served as the Big Bad for Meloetta arc in Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Another source of his popularity came from being the father of fan-favorite rival Sliver. His popularity went further when he appeared in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as the Big Bad of Team Rainbow Rocket for the beloved Episode RR, with the popular Mewtwo becoming his Signature Mon. He has since made numerous appearances, notably as a recurring antagonist in the spin-off games Pokémon GO and Pokemon Masters EX.

@ Ramparts law order
- Conflicting Loyalties: Hinted at with David, an undercover cop who infiltrated the student radical group. He had lovers in the group, got into fights with campus security even in private when he wasn’t putting on a show for his friends, and refused orders to discredit the group leader by having him ally with the Black Panthers, with his handler even having another undercover cop spy on him. On the other hand, he did get along well with his conservative roommate and never quit spying or disobeyed any other orders to turn public opinion against the protestors.
- Cool Big Bro: David took his little brother to baseball games and bought him presents.
- Halfway Plot Switch: From finding David's killer to forcing the police department to expose the unethical activities surrounding its campus undercover operations that led to David provoking his death.
- I Hate Past Me: Downplayed with the former protest leader, now a social worker, who seems proud of his old beliefs but admits he sometimes acted on them in a cocky and counterproductive way.
- Peeping Tom: A chef previously employed as a video footage runner for the TV studios (before satellite television) present during the campus protest says the best part of the job was being stationed across from a girls dorm with no shades.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Roger Aimsley, a reporter covering the protests, was willing to let the students give their side of things and ask the security guards about rumors they had guns despite being contemptuous of the protestors and, in the present, his widow tells the cops that he gradually felt more sympathetic to the protestors as the war dragged on and more ugly truths about it were exposed.
- Suspicious Spending: David paying his own tuition rather than having a scholarship like he claimed, being able to buy a car, get supplies for his fellow radicals, and pay bills for his mother and brother, and still having hundreds of dollars in cash for his roommate to bail him out of jail cause the cops to realize he had a secret source of income. They suspect him of dealing drugs, but it turns out he had a police salary and was an undercover cop.

- A rare example of an animal suffering this occurs in The Haymeadow by Creator/Gary Paulsen. The narrator's mother died when he was a baby after a ranch horse bucked her off and stomped on her without provocation. The moment her husband realized she was dead, he killed the horse with his bare hands in a fit of Unstoppable Rage.
- Mercy Lead: At one point, the characters note there have been several times where King Stephen could have captured Maud if he moved more decisively, making them wonder if he is deliberately giving his cousin time to flee every time due to deep down not wanting to kill her.
- Double-Meaning Title: One Corpse Too Many refers to both how there is the body of a murder victim added to the soldiers legally executed (by the standards of the time) after the battle and how Cadfael mourns the death of everyone who dies "without repentance and reparation", victim, killer, or both. The former situation gets subjected to the Title Drop in the show, but the latter one is in the book.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: FitzAlan and Adeney escaping the storming of their castle in the second book is a clever gambit by men out to escape execution at the hands of a man they view as an usurper and continue aiding his opponent (which they do so quite well). But it is also made clear Stephen wanted to spare the garrison besides the two of them and Arnulf the castellan, and their escape makes him feel pressured to kill the other 93 prisoners from the garrison to avoid showing weakness.
- When Hugh and his men surprise Cadfael and a group of Maud's loyalists (including two fellow monks) as they prepare to send away a treasure, everyone in the group's immediate reaction (subtly moving to block the treasure, acting complacent while reaching for hidden weapons, stepping between two archers and the only woman in the group, and maintaining a stoic glare) is suitably impressive. Then, once it becomes clear Hugh is willing to let the rebels go while claiming the treasure Cadfael tried to hide for Stephen, it turns Cadfael tricked him into taking a decoy bag of phony treasure by deliberately being too slow to hide it, leading to their Defeat Equals Friendship dynamic for the rest of the series.
- Adaptational Wimp: Damsel in Distress Emma doesn't turn the tables on her assailant in Saint Peter's Fair and it is the arriving Hugh who kills the Big Bad and Cadfael who keeps the MacGuffin from falling into dangerous hands, not her.
- Agony of the Feet: Merriet gamely helps Brother Oswin grapple with the fleeing killer in ''The Devil's Novice" despite having a heavily bandaged foot and needing a crutch to walk after a fall, but he still writhes in agony for several seconds whenever he falls on that hurt foot throughout the fight.
- Ascended Extra: Brother Oswin and Sergeant Warden are only occasional characters in the books but are in every episode of the first three seasons as sidekicks to Cadfael and Hugh, respectively, and are more fleshed out (especially Warden, the more minor of the pair in the books).
- Death by Adaptation: In addition to several culprits who die rather than escaping or being Put on a Prison Bus, in Monk's Hood, Muerig's grandfather Ifor is alive and harboring the fugitive Edwin in the book when Cadfael encounters them while visiting with a message from Ifor's brother-in-law Brother Rhys, but in the show, Brother Rhys says Muerig is the last of his family, causing Cadfael to realize Muerig is lying about visiting his grandfather and is really helping Edwin.
- Death by Childbirth: Brother Rhys says that Muerig's mother (Rhys' niece) died giving birth to her second child, along with the baby. Apparently subverted later when Muerig says he is an illegitimate son who had no sibling, his mother died of fever, and Rhys is suffering from dementia.
- Not Blood, Not Family: In "The Devil's Novice," after Merriet learns his brother-in-law Janyn is the killer of Merriet's fifth cousin, he protests that the man was a kinsman, however unpleasant he was. Janyn replies, "Your kinsman, not mine," making it clear his sister's impending marriage to Merriet's brother didn't make him feel any familial obligation to spare the victim.
@ Cadfael Leper of Saint Giles
- Mirthless Laughter: The killer lets out several bitter, defiant laughs as he's dragged away after being exposed.
- Stealing the Credit: One of Hugh's less pleasant men tries to boast about an idea that helped expose the killer that was really come up with by Simon. Hugh figures out the deception instantly and tells the lying officer to get out of his sight.
@ One Corpse Too many
- Actionized Adaptation: Zigzagged. Stephen's men Storming the Castle, and Torold's subsequent moments of Assassin Outclassin' and escaping Stephen's patrols are shown rather than merely mentioned, but the trial-by-combat sequence is cut from several hours to a couple of minutes in real-time.
- Adaptational Villainy: Stephen has Arnulf tortured in a failed effort to make him talk, while in the book he ordered him executed right after Arnulf refused and also orders the entire garrison executed on his own initiative when the book has him do so in a Moment of Weakness under prodding from Adam and Prestcote.
- Small Role, Big Impact: FitzAlan is the leader of the rebels holed up in the castle, and his defiance leads to the execution of the garrison, Hugh being appointed deputy sheriff, and the town being more throughly dominated by Stephen, while the treasure he smuggles out of his castle helps finance Queen Maud for years of further warfare. He only has a few lines in the first couple of scenes before being permanently Put on a Bus after escaping the fall of his castle around the ten minute mark. This is still an improvement over the books, where he is The Ghost.
- Dennis, the masseur from "Cheer Pressure," seems like a nice guy but is stuck as a Beleaguered Assistant to Coach Keck, who calls him by the wrong name (Hans) implicitly to try and invoke Foreign Fanservice feelings, while he is clearly unattracted to her. And he ends up as collateral damage during Keck's Laser-Guided Karma when they both have to ride in a trailer with a volatile kangaroo.
- One-Scene Wonder: Drasa's dying father Erikas is only in one scene, but their warm relationship as he gives her a literal shoulder to lean on as they discuss things like her Lithuanian heritage and the moral nuances and her growing sense of discomfort regarding her sniper jobs make for a powerful and well-appreciated performance.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: The film is consistently visually striking and expensively made, but a highlight is the scene where the monsters chase a jeep up a cliff face, which was done with little CGI and involved months of prep.

Here are some more tropes for Another Apple Sleep Experiment.
• Brought Down to Badass:Even though she's paralyzed in her back legs, Apple Bloom is able to not only expose Twilight and her friends to the Sleepless Potion, but also kill Twilight with a shovel.
• Childhood Friends:Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo used to be Apple Bloom's friends, until they both abandoned the latter 7 years ago, after Apple Bloom was paralyzed in her back legs by a potion-suffering Applejack.
• Clock Tampering:A variation of this trope is when Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity are visited by Applejack, they all believe it is the night before the Commemoration Memorial, but because they, along with Rainbow Dash, who killed Soarin on the night they believed Applejack was attacking them, were exposed to the Sleepless Potion, which makes time confusing to ponies who are exposed to it, by Apple Bloom, and the Applejack they saw was a hallucination.
• The Dog Was the Mastermind:It is revealed that the main villain of the story is a thought-to-be-dead Apple Bloom who wants revenge on Twilight for not only giving Applejack a potion that caused her to kill ponies, but, along with her friends, hid the potions' existence and abandoned Applejack to rot in prison.
• Revenge Before Reason:Apple Bloom, after finding out that Twilight not only gave Applejack a potion that caused her to kill ponies, but, along with her friends, not only hid the potions' existence, but abandoned Applejack to rot in prison, decides to expose them to the same potion, causing them to kill ponies just like Applejack did seven years ago.

- 2018 would see the bankruptcy and closure of Toys "R" Us (due to rising debt and competition from big-box stores and online shopping, which offer toys on top of other useful stuff, such as food and clothing, making them more preferable for shoppers), marking the end of big box toy stores in the United States after most of them closed down in the '90s and 2000s, ironically thanks to competition from Toys "R" Us'. While the brand would be revived in 2021, their presence is limited to boutique stores within malls or stores-within-a-stores (particularly Macy's), and it's unlikely that they'll regain their former dominance any time soon. This largely only applies to the US, as Toys "R" Us and other cultural equivalents (like Smyths in Ireland/the UK, Toyworld in Australia, Toy Champ in the Netherlands, etc) are alive and well internationally.
- Americans Hate Tingle: In Japan, Negitoro (Miku/Luka) is Miku and Luka's most popular ship and has spawned numerous hit songs like "Magnet" and "World's End Dancehall". In the West, however, Negitoro is far more controversial and divisive due to the official four year age-gap between them (Miku being 16 and Luka being 20). While there is a following for it in the West (with most simply ignoring the age gap), Western Yuri fans tend to favor Miku/Rin and Luka/Meiko instead.note
Recap.Sonic The Hedgehog IDW Phantom Riders Arc:
- End of an Age: The arc ends with the Restoration HQ destroyed by Clutch, effectively ending Forces' influence on the comic and setting the stage for the events leading up to Sonic Frontiers and onwards.
YMMV.Puyo Puyo:
- Fandom Heresy:
- Unless you want trouble, don't ever criticize Arle or Sig. Arle is the original protagonist and thus the most beloved, and Sig is a massive fan favorite and Breakout Character arguably more popular than Amitie herself (especially in Japan).
- You are perfectly allowed to like the Sega cast, especially the likes of Sig, but don't ever say you prefer them to the original Compile cast unless you want to be buried in Puyo.
- Admitting you dislike SigAmi or shipping Amitie and Sig with anyone but each other is a very good way to find yourself facing a onslaught of Puyo battles from the SigAmi shippers, where you will most likely lose. SigAmi is the fandom's One True Pairing and they do not tolerate any criticism towards or deviation from it. Especially since it's teased in canon.

Hi, Arivne. I want to add an entry to YMMV page of Blue Archive the game. Let me know if this needs correction.
- Fanon:
- Because of the reasons described in They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot below, a lot of worldbuilding regarding the student's mystic and their abilities were mainly suggested by the fandom. For example, Asuna's mystic gives her powers that grants her massive luck boost out of convenience at a cost of shortening her attention span or worse, permanent loss of memory. While Juri's tendencies of making her food alive had something to do with her mystic which allowed her to create a living organism through alchemy, and since cooking can be considered an alchemical process, well...
Thanks
- Jerkass Woobie: Dorothy's cowardice and ego are responsible for destroying the sad and innocent Jeremy's life and putting him on the road to being a Serial Killer, which she has shows little remorse for, and she can also be shrill, envious, and judgmental toward her "friends" and parents. But her Weight Woe, insecurity, I Just Want to Be Loved desperation that leads to her being taken advantage of by a Gold Digger she falls hard for and longs to believe in but is brutally let down by can make her pitiable even without considering the months she spends in fear of the killer and how being framed for being the killer caps off her lonely life with a permanent legacy of hatred and contempt.
- Ive Be Waiting For You: A local legend says that the witch's ghost will return one day and kill five descendants of the town Founders who had her burned at the stake, and in the present, it seems as though the five high-school-age descendants (their parents are seemingly immune from the curse) are about to learn the truth of that curse. In the end, it turns out there are six living teenage descendants, not five, and only two die, but the Gainax Ending hints a second killer is about to pick up where the first left off and go after the Jerkass survivors.
- Hannibal: The eponymous character spends his Start of Darkness hunting down Nazis from the band who killed his sister. Some try to hunt down him first, but this doesn't go well for them.
- Apocalyptic Log: An infected scientist from the outpost inside the Gorge left behind a film reel describing the origins of the project and how the mutation works.
- Cultural Rebel: The Eastern Post was originally made for Soviet soldiers during the Cold War but there are a piano, wine rack, and plenty of old rock-and-roll records there that look like they may predate the fall of communism. Considering the fate of at least some of the snipers sent there, one interpretation of this is the Communist government specifically sought out those kinds of personalities due to already seeing them as unreliable.
- Gate Guardian: The rotating snipers on each side of the gorge have spent decades gunning down any Hollow Men to come charging out of the Eldritch Location Gorge.
- Kilroy Was Here: The wall of Levi's sniper post is full of inscriptions where past guards wrote their names, ranks, and a quote from a poet, politician, or author they admired.
- Warrior Poet: Cold Sniper Levi recognizes quotes from famous poems and eventually admits to writing his own poetry. The Kilroy Was Here inscriptions on the wall and reading material on the bookshelf suggest many of his predecessors had similar interests.
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Does Bartholomew ask Levi about how happy he is with his life and whether there is anyone who can't live without him solely as a way of gauging whether she can kill him without anyone ever knowing about it? Or is she also trying to assuage her conscience by killing someone who hates his life and has no loved ones?
- Fanfic Fuel:
- What was said during Levi's first monthly radio check-in after fighting the Hollow Men and having action to report?
- What is the trek back to civilization like at the end?
- Levi and Drasa's many predecessors are a source of vast and fascinating speculation.
- What kind of battles did they have with the Hollow Men and in normal warfare to get deemed suitable to fight Hollow Men? What do their handlers and counterpart have to do to keep the Gorge secure if the lone guardian on one side of the Gorge ever dies on the job?
- Have they always been lone sentinels since the death of Shaw and his cavalry or did they start as more practical small units that got phased out?
- Did any of them ever break the rules and form some kind of contact with their counterparts?note
- Have the snipers always been murdered at the end of their rotations or is that a more recent development? Did any ever escape being murdered at the end of their rotations, and is it really the guardians from both sides of the Gorge who get murdered or just the western ones?
- Who was Drasa's predecessor, and what kind of interaction did they have?
- How did J.D., who is apparently active-duty British military, end up a candidate for Gorge duty?
- Did any of the people they check in with on the radio every month have Voice with an Internet Connection relationships with them or are all of these people as cold and unhelpful as Levi's contact?
- Moe: Drasa's insecurities about her sniper job, soft-spoken Daddy's Girl scenes, and Genki Girl efforts to initiate contact and bonding with Levi, whether from across the gorge or as they sit in the same room, overflow with adorableness.
