This thread is for tropers who have trouble with English and would like some help with the crazy grammar of this crazy language.

Write down what you wish to edit on the wiki. If you have been suspended from editing, another troper might be kind enough to edit for you after your suggestions have been corrected.

The thread is for help and feedback on your own suggested edits.

If you want help correcting other people's edits (e.g., if you find a page which seems to have grammar problems but want a second opinion, or you don't feel able to fix it by yourself) then that's off-topic here, but we have a separate Grammar Police cleanup thread that can provide assistance.

  • Even Evil Has Standards: Alex kidnpas Clio and chases Stavros The Stool Pigeon in a menacing way but he is shocked when Max electrocutes his partner and tries to stop Max from shooting at police blimps.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Alex is last seen fleeing Max's penthouse rather than stay to fight Batman or getting killed by his failure-intolerant boss.

  • Chekhov's Gunman: Stavros seems like a minor crook who is merely injured to introduce a one-episode villain, but in Justice League, he's mentioned as being one of Luthor's co-conspirators in an arms smuggling scheme that leads to Luthor's first fall from grace and arrest.

@ Batman (1966): Rogues Gallery

  • Even Evil Has Standards: Latch feels that Joker's particularly bloody Death Trap "don't strike me as being too funny."
  • Undying Loyalty: They follow the Joker even when they disagree with him due to how he once saved them from a prison term by kidnapping, and in one case possibly killing, the court officials at their trial.

    Ana Gram 

Ana Gram

A woman who assists the Riddler in his sole season 2 appearance. She wears a costume with a puzzle pattern.


  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She acts nice and has a good enough reputation for the city officials to make her a prominent part of a big ceremony. Nonetheless, she helps Riddler with his plans to steal from charity and extort the city with a bomb threat.
  • Cowardly Lion: She watches her boss fight the heroes without lifting a finger to help and tries to run the moment he loses, but also puts up a fierce struggle when she's seized by the arriving police.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name is Ana Gram, or anagram (a word that can spell another word if the letters are rearranged), and she works for a man who loves riddles and wordplay. His also counts as Five-Second Foreshadowing since she spends most of her first scene acting like an innocent citizen.

    Josie Miller 

Josie Miller

@ The Cemeteries of Amalo

  • Doomed Predecessor: In The Witness for the Dead, Thara arrives in a rural village to put a ghoul to rest and is told that a local clergyman who doubts the power of the witnesses for the dead has set out to do the job himself. Everyone else in the village views the amateur Hunter of Monsters as an idiot who is certain to get himself killed without accomplishing anything, and Thara does indeed find the clergyman's mangled corpse minutes before his own fight with the ghoul.

@ The Scholomance

     Myrthe Christopher 

Myrthe Christopher

The leader of the Santa Barbara enclavers in El's year.
  • Break the Haughty: She's an arrogant, slightly condescending enclaver whose effort to rally the school into rejecting El's plan utterly fails (even one of the other Santa Barbara kids gives her a Shut Up, Hannibal! comment), leaving her red-faced and alone in the middle of the room.
  • Minor Major Character: She's the de facto leader of a large section of enclavers who don't always take cues from New York, but she doesn't appear until more than nine tenths of the way through the second book.
  • Sugary Malice: She gives a speech arguing that the seniors should abandon El's plan and just graduate themselves while smiling sympathetically and arguing reasonable sounding points. She goes on to insult El directly, while continuing to smile and also saying that it isn't as if she doesn't appreciate the sentiment behind what they're doing and doesn't think they shouldn't try to help the younger kids in smaller ways. El alternates between barely surpassing her rage and admitting that Myrthe is only saying what a lot of people are thinking. Ultimately, the sugariness of her malice fails to sway anyone.
  • Tears of Joy: As she watches El's plan succeed and it comes time for her to safely get out of the Schlomance, Myrthe's stony expression falters and she starts sobbing happily.

    Ravi 

Ravi

An enclaver from Jaipur.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: He only appears once in the first half of the book but then (due to some prodding from Liesel) shows up for one sentence much later in the book to get several enclavers to join El's training efforts to save their entire class, lending the project more credibility.
  • Dirty Coward: He offers El the protection of a group when a bunch of students are traveling the halls after their classroom is pumped with dangerous gas, but wants her to be on point and face any danger first. El isn't impressed and doesn't accept his offer.
  • Upper-Class Twit: He's an enclaver, an elite of the magical world, and spends most of his time ogling Liesel, overlooking signs of how intelligent Liesel is, and getting non-enclave kids to do his homework.

    Victoria 

Victoria

An antagonistic Seattle enclaver.
  • It's All About Me: El tells Victoria that her efforts to divert mals from the graduation hall and feed them before Victoria's class graduates will endanger hundreds of additional kids for decades in the future, including the younger Seattle enclavers and Victoria's own kids, if she ever has any. Victoria just sneers "I'm going to worry about living that long first, thanks," and continues with her plan.
  • Karma Houdini: She and the other Seattle seniors try to indirectly sacrifice the younger kids for their own survival but survive a fight with El and her friends, aren't punished by their fellow seniors, and then graduate with the rest of the class (even if the survival of so many people as a whole is a good thing).
  • Kill It with Fire: She attacks El, Orion, and their friends with fire spells.
  • Whip It Good: She fights El and Orion with a flaming whip.

    Yaakov 

Yaakov

An Israeli student who is Ibrahim's best friend and secret lover.
  • The Quiet One: He has far less dialogue than Ibrahim.
  • Start My Own: He and his kibbutz in Israel hope to start their own enclave one day.
  • Token Religious Teammate: El describes him as the only religious person in her circle of acquaintances, and he says a prayer during a healing ceremony for Cora.

    Jermaine 

Jermaine

One of the New York enclavers in the same year as Orion.
  • Battle Couple: Or rather, Battle Polyamory. El mentions that he and an Atlanta enclaver spent their junior year competing for the affections of an alchemist, only to end up in a threesome while also forming a graduation alliance with her to fight their way out of the school together.
  • Nice Guy: He's polite to El and Aadhya, the latter of whom says that he's nice, while telling El not to hate all enclavers.
  • Social Circle Filler: He's a minor character who gets a few scenes in the second book mainly as a reminder that the New Yorkers besides Orion, Chloe, and Magnus have personalities of their own.

    Tomas 

Tomas

An enclaver from Argentina (possibly Salta, where Clarita's mom does work for an enclave), who appears during the graduation ceremony in ''The Last Graduate.


  • Bit Character: He only appears near the end of the last chapter of the last book.
  • Eaten Alive: Moments after successfully graduating, he's caught and consumed by a maw mouth that was on the other side of the portal. He then becomes the first person to survive the experience when El blows the creature apart before it can digest him.
  • Spoiled Sweet: El observes that despite their lifelong sense of status, he and the others from his enclave didn't complain about getting one of the worst positions during the graduation evacuation, accepting how important it was to help everyone.

    Nadia 

Nadia

A Saudi girl and one of Ibrahim's friends.


  • Dance Battler: She is good at casting spells that require dancing to activate and also uses a sword for that. She accepts
  • Social Circle Filler: She appears a few times on the fringes of El's circle (due to her association with Ibrahim, himself only an occasional ally) but gets extremely little page time or development. She isn't even mentioned in the second half of The Last Graduate.

    Sarah 

Sarah

A London enclaver and Alfie's best friend.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sarah's Social Climber behavior and "British and posh" efforts to downplay how easy classes are for her don't give El a great impression of her, but she joins Alfie's Hold the Line efforts during the graduation ceremony in the second book.
  • Social Climber: She's not too blatant about it, but she starts trying to cozy up to El, without success, after seeing Orion hanging around her more, and then ignores her during a period where he's not spending time with her.

    Okot 

Okot

A senior from Sudan who is briefly mentioned in the first book.
  • The Ghost: He's mentioned but never seen.
  • High-School Hustler: Long hair is at risk of being snagged during monster attacks, cut hair from magical children is useful for tying weapons and tools together, and good scissors and mirrors are in short supply. Before coming to the Scholomance, Okot saw a way to profit off this and used his weight allocation to bring an electric razor and a hand crank, and during the first book he's a very well-off and well-connected student as a result. Once he nears graduation, he trades future rights to the razor to some freshmen if they'll spend their free time producing enough mana for him to get a graduation alliance with enclavers.

Stolas:

  • Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting: Stolas' father, Paimon, is a Disneyland Dad, so Stolas tries his best to make Octavia happy. But because Stolas has an Awful Wedded Life and tries to make his own life better, he does sometimes make the same mistakes as his father.

Paimon:

  • Obliviously Evil: Implied. Paimon seemingly doesn't understand that he's a bad father (he has to be told which son Stolas is, bluntly tells him he's in an Arranged Marriage, swears at him when he cries, takes Stolas to the circus because he doesn't want to deal with his crying (and isn't even physically there), and buys Blitzo to be a friend for the aforementioned unwillingness to be a good father. He also Dope Slap Stolas for bowing to Blitzo and calls him an idiot because imps are supposed to bow to them, and then says "I'm so good at daddying." with a proud look on his face).

Arivne: Thanks. I'll go ahead with the next one.

Streak: One.

I'm still in the Live A Live section, though this could either work on the Live A Live - The Seven Heroes (On Akira Tadokoro folder) or the main page itself. Here goes.

  • Actor Allusion: When using the Halogen Beam with the Steel Titan, Akira may exclaim, "God, Demon, or whatever, you're going down!" This is a reference to the Arc Words of Mazinger Z: "When you pilot Mazinger Z, you can become a God or a Devil with its power." It alludes to how Akira is voiced in the Japanese language by Kouji Kabuto's modern voice actor.

I hope there's no mistake in this either.

For Heartwarming moment of Agent Ali :

  • Despite her rivalry with Alicia in Arena, Kim still friendly toward her even act like cheerful big sister figure toward Alicia. Although sometime shown her annoyance toward Kim, Alicia didn't hate her or disgusted on her demeanor. In "Mission: Hunt" Alicia still accepted selfie with Kim even show her sympathy toward her after hear Kim story about her former best friend who disappeared after move from East Branch of MATA.

YMMV page Agent Ali :

  • Dos statement by said that Cinco is vile woman and a refusal to help Cinco in Numeros after Uno's death despite her loyalty to him: Is a sign of Heel–Face Revolving Door because she doesn't like Cinco method by made total control toward the others Numeros Agents via microbugs ? Because she no longer has reason to stay on Numeros since Uno already die and wants to be free ? because she wanted to overthrow Cinco to lead the Numeros and continue Uno's legacy ?

Character in Agent Ali :

  • Beware the Silly Ones: Seis and Siete often provide some hilarious moment in Numeros side due to their overconfidence and snarky side. But they still dangerous opponent even almost successfully defeat Rizwan in Season 2.
  • Deconstructed Character Archetype: Dos deconstructs Enemy Mine. Despite Rizwan accept her as his temporary ally since they wanted to stop Cinco, Rizwan still doesn't fully trust her especially since she still has loyalty on Uno and possibly has another reason to accept Rizwan help.
  • Moral Myopia: Dos see Cinco is more evil than Uno because Cinco is a Control Freak who like to bossy around and control the other Numeros Agent to do what she want. But Dosstill has loyalty on a man who also do the same thing with Cinco and leaves her alone in destroyed MATA Base in Season 1 resulting on her imprisonment in Season 2.
  • Wrong Assumption: Dos assume Rizwan is same with her because of the loyalty toward Uno and believe this what made Rizwan choose to stay away from MATA because of what already the chief do to him. While it's true Rizwan is disappointing of what MATA do toward Uno/Djin, he no longer has loyalty or see him as his father figure since Uno refuse to made a peace with him or MATA and already Beyond Redemption.

Creating a new Trivia subpage for My Ideal Academia.

  • What Could Have Been: In chapter 19 - "Sword in the Forest'', the author's note reveals that the author had rewritten the chapter's scenario many times before deciding on one. The iteration that doesn't make the final draft, for example:
    • An iteration where Angra Mainyu doesn't use his new ability.
    • An iteration where Midoriya rushes off recklessly Out of Character.
    • An iteration where All-Might finds the Nomu and uses Gae Bolg for just a second.

For My Ideal Academia.
  • Animal Jingoism: Kenji, the dog-headed chief of the Musutafu police forces, and Ragdoll, the cat-themed professional hero, can't stand each other and start bickering when near each other. When Yu asks why Aizawa says it's just a quarrel between a cat and a dog.
By the way, does the Trivia subpage needs a minimum of 3 examples like the main work page?

Mario Obliterates Minions

  • Ass Shove: Mario is confronted by a Minion fan who tells him to get a new Minions toy, to which the plumber does so...only to immediately shove it into the fan's butt and leave him incapacitated.
  • Badass Fingersnap: Mario, armed with the Infinity Gauntlet, does this twice. His first try wipes out a nearby Koopa. Once he changes its target setting to his actual enemy, his second attempt has every single Minion obliterated. This includes the one that got aged into Bart Simpson, and all Minion-related merchandise and promotional material.
  • Kill It with Fire:
    • When the Minions barge into his room, SMG4 pulls out Pyro's flamethrower to stall them. Some of them survive and pounce on him.
    • Mario leads a horde of Minions into a cinema showing the new Minions movie, and once the horde enters, he throws a lit match into the room, locks the doors, and leaves them to die in the ensuing fire.
  • Mobstacle Course: Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet is in the dry cleaner's in a mall...which is loaded with folks lining up for Minion-related merchandise. Thus, Mario has to get past the whole crowd to get to that gauntlet, encountering people such as a stereotypical "Karen", some people queuing up to see the Minions movie, and Victor Perkins.
  • Rapid Aging: Mario uses the Infinity Gauntlet's powers to cause one hapless Minion to age so fast that he grows into Bart Simpson.
  • Reality Warper: As a reference to the power of the Reality Stone, Mario, armed with the completed Infinity Gauntlet, stretches the limbs of an approaching Minion, inflates it, and causes it to explode.

"Trust and Triumph": <- quote mark Turtlecon...intelligent turtle-themed Mutant criminal with...dimension, <- comma where...and is seconds away...Even then, Turtlecon...fight, <- comma and enlarges himself...

^ Throughout these examples, I have Blue Linked the word "Mutant" so its capitalization would be correct.

"The Last Race": <- quote mark Dash is a race car driver-themed Mutant (who was once Blue Ranger Lucas's friend) till he was arrested for reckless driving...pull off amazing...race in which...

^ The way you wrote this, you said that the Blue Ranger Lucas was arrested for reckless driving.

Steelix is able to use his expert fighting ability and quick thinking to keep her on her feet.

^ This doesn't make sense. How would keeping her on her feet help him?

Miracon is a zany My Brain Is Big-themed Mutant criminal with...own Mirror World....where they're forced...powerful Mutants. Even...combatant who's able...move they make. Even...

^ If you're going to use TV Tropes trope names, please Blue Link them so the reader doesn't think you've incorrectly capitalized them.

Akira may exclaim, "God, demon, or whatever, you're going down!" This is a reference to the Arc Words of Mazinger Z: "When you pilot Mazinger Z, you can become a god or a devil with its power."

^ Demon, God and Devil are being used as common nouns, not proper nouns, and so are not capitalized (demon, god, devil).

Ah okay. Thanks I'll add those. Thank you Arivne.

I'll change Steelix's sentence to

Luring her into an abandoned warehouse, Steelix is able to use his expert fighting ability and quick thinking to dominate the fight against her.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
