Or perhaps just Trope-tan in a red, yellow, green, and blue tie-dye shirt. :P
That said, a "RED ALERT" icon or something to make the page not look so bland might be good if a lot of people are going to be forced to see it. That said, the home page has no picture, so... *shrug*
"The fact that your food can be made into makeshift bombs alarms the Hell out of me, Scrye." - CharlatanShe should be a Never Mess with Granny type granny.
And/or a witty, snarky granny.
And/or a scary memetic granny.
Mostly first two, though.
Never be without a Hat! Hot means heat. I don't care if your usage dates to 1300, it's my word, not yours. My Pm box is open.I actually like the idea of a cute li'l old lady mascot for the less worksafe site portions, if we need one. She should look kinda like Muriel. She is definitely tough. Maybe her backstory is that she avoids all this rougher stuff because she was a firebrand in her young days! She just wants to slow down now that she's done all that crazy stuff.
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaYou could give her kind of a Slappy Squirrel personality and make her actually be Trope-Tan's grandma.
My tropes launched: https://surenity2.blogspot.com/2021/02/my-tropes-on-tv-tropes.htmlSo she should be Trope-tan's mother, be a Never Mess with Granny, and just wants to settle down and spend her with with her kittens, baking cookies for Mister Rogers and caring for the Tropers.
Oh, and she wishes for the days where the wiki just did Buffy The Vampire Slayer and everything was cleaner.
...And she was quite the looker before the Great Crash (which made her age) but she could still do a Megaton Punch with her walker.
...Want to make a cute lil' old lady worried about tropers? Huh? I really hope this is all an exercise in Sarcasm Mode.
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?What about that YKTTW thread Classic Grandma, or something like that? Use the picture on that for reference,
Thought: Granny should be drawn in old Looney Tunes style, rather than Anime like most -tans are.
I spread my wings and I learn how to fly....Who wants to help me brainstorm some characteristics for Grandma Tropes (or Granny Tropes, or Grandmother Tropes. We need a Crowner) and get an artist? I want to write an offical Fan Fic for her.
(Also, for some reason. Fanfiction.net doesn't have a section for TV Tropes
)

TV Tropes is a website! A wiki! Why would there be a fanfiction section for it?
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!This is awesome. I have no ideas for how it should be done, but I just thought I ought to say that.
Infinite Tree: an experimental story

This dicussion is inspired by the acroym NSFG (meaning Not Safe For Granny, or Not Safe For Google). I think there should be a little bit of a joke character that we can refer to when talking about the Not Safe for Work pages.
Perhaps we can name her Granny Tan, Granma Tan, Old-tan, Granny Tropes, Granma Chi...
Anyhow, I think she should be the archtypal kind granny figure.
