Which auto-disambigs to De.Order Of The Stick (A redirect to De.The Order Of The Stick), because it is missing the "The" from the name. Did you mean Pre-Cut inbounds? If they're Post-Cut then there's all the more reason to put the redirect back.

Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I think I found something that'd need an edit.
In the main page of the inheritance cycle (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/InheritanceCycle
), the example of "Atop a Mountain of Corpses" states that the trope occured in the 2nd book, but in fact, it happened in the third one.
I hope that my post here is okay the way it is (first post here in the tvtropes-board), if it's not, I'm sorry. ;-)

Addition to Horny Devils - Film.
- "Amateur Night" in the Found Footage horror anthology V/H/S. Three college guys pick up a cute girl and take her to a hotel room, planning to secretly video events as amateur porn. In the middle of sex she morphs into a Humanoid Abomination with fangs and a gaping maw down the middle of her face. The youth wearing the glasses-cam flees down the fire escape but trips and is caught by the demon who tries to fellate him. Needless to say he's too terrified to respond. Distraught over this perceived rejection, sh first weeps in a Corner of Woe then starts growling in rage, morphing into a One-Winged Angel that swoops him up into the air as he flees across the car park.
Please add Ill Girl, Heel Realization, and Attractive Bent-Gender to the No Real Life Examples Please page. They all went through the crowner.
- Ill Girl: Real life sick people are not plot devices. Discussing real life people's illnesses.
- Heel Realization: calling real people evil.

Addition to Webcomics in Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male
- Subverted in one Nodwick story, where the party had to gain an all-female cult's respect by one of them spending five hours alone with a Priestess Erastica, "Reverend Sister of the Venundite Inner Sanctum". (Erastica herself added "and six-year limbo champion!") Nodwick "volunteered" (actually, it was due to Artax using ventriloquism, and for a tense five hours after she dragged him away, it looked like this may have happed to him. However, when the high-priestess opened the door, he walked out and cheerfully waved goodbye to Erastica, at which point she rushed out in tears, saying he actually listened to everything she told him. (In short, it was implied that Erastica was a temptress who did this to men regularly, but Nodwick cured her of it.)

Addition to Fan Works for Horny Devils
- A few appear in the Shadowchasers franhise"
- In Shadowchasers: Ascension Dante meets up with two. Early in the fic, he fights an erinyes named Castalla ("erinyes" being the lawful equivalent of a succubus in this continuity). While he easily avoids her attempts to seduce him, he later nearly succumbs to her far-more tempting mother, Novalar, one of the Big Bad's Co-Dragons.
- In Shadowchasers: Backwater, there's Tsuki, a succubus who is an Ascended Demon, a long ordeal at the hands of a cruel wizard who summoned her, followed by the kindness of a charity worker, leading to a Heel–Face Turn.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.Add to Monster.Film
- Mick Taylor from Wolf Creek and its sequel is one of the most monstrous horror villains ever created. An Australian Serial Killer, Serial Rapist, and torturer, he preys upon tourists visiting the Wolf Creek area and falsely befriends them before taking them back to his home and slowly torturing them to death For the Evulz. He has killed several dozen people including an entire family, even a little girl. One of his favorite torture methods is "head on a stick" where he severs their spine to turn them into a vegetable figure. At the end of the second film, he frames one of his victims for his crimes, leading to his life being ruined. Mick treats all he encounters with a false friendliness until he reveals his true nature: that of a man who lives only to hurt others however he can.
Add to Monster.Western Animation
- In Spawn: The Animated Series, Jason Wynn stands out in an already very dark show. Wynn is the director of the NSC. He is the one who ordered the death of Al Simmons by having him burned alive. He uses his position to protect child killer Billy Kincaid from the police by killing anyone who discovers Kincaid's brutal crimes. He is covering up Kincaid's crimes in order to extort favors from Kincaid's father, a corrupt senator. When visiting crime boss Tony Twist, Wynn has two prostitutes that were with Tony killed, so no one besides Tony would know he was there. Wynn is also using his position to steal weapons from the US Department of Defense and is selling them to various terrorists and dictators across the globe. When one of Wynn's employees, Terry Fitzgerald discovers Wynn's crimes, Wynn frames him these crimes, putting Terry's life in a tale spin. Wynn later orders a hit squad to kill Terry's wife Wanda and his daughter Cyan. Wynn also orders Chief Banks to shoot police officer Twitch Williams, when Twitch gets close to uncovering Wynn's crimes. After Terry reveals Wynn's crimes to the world, Wynn becomes a free agent and seeks the mask of Genghis Khan, which will give him the powers of Hell. We learn that Wynn had one his former subordinates, Major Forsberg, thrown into a cell and starved, when he tried to leave Wynn's services. Wynn threatens to kill Forsberg's family unless he tells him where to find the mask. When Terry tries to kill Wynn in revenge, Wynn has him dragged to an opium den and forcible drugged, because Wynn thinks Terry slowly rotting away in this den is more of a fitting punishment then a quick death. Wynn later uses a knife to try and slowly torture Terry, while gloating about how he will sell his wife into forced prostitution.

- Akechi Mitsuhide is depicted as a particularly depraved madman when he goads Nobunaga Oda's brother-in-law, Azai Nagamasa into fighting the hotblooded hero Date Masamune. Mitsuhide diverts a squad of riflemen to fire on his own allies, having also brought Nagamasa's wife Oichi along. He ostensibly allows her to try to warn her husband before having him shot before her and relishing her pain. Mitsuhide is a vicious killer as well, serving Nobunaga only because it allows him to satisfy his bloodlust on the innocent and any warriors he finds. After the first season, he seeks to resurrect the Demon King, wanting nothing more than to watch the world burn.
- Nobunaga himself leads a hideously brutal campaign of conquest across Japan without care for the innocents who suffer in his wake. After Oichi is broken, Nobunaga keeps her enslaved to his will and has no issues killing her himself. Despite his wife Nohime's devotion to him, he thinks of her as nothing more than a disposable pawn. Referring to himself as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Nobunaga thinks he has a right to do whatever he pleases to those 'weaker' than him and will happily kill every peasant in Japan if it brings him closer to ruling it.

- Dr. Hatch from Michael Vey. He's a Manipulative Bastard to a high degree. First, he would buy the students loyalty with expensive gifts and then guilt trip them into meeting his demands. If that doesn't work, he threatens their loved ones to get what he wants. The biggest example was when he held a students brother captive to get him to get him to down planes with his powers. He murdered the family of a boy named Zeus and convinced him that he did it to get him to work for him. He punishes rebellious servants called Glows by having one follower, Nichelle, torture them with her powers. When Michael refused to work for him, even after torturing him, he sends Zeus to execute him and his friends. In the second book, he punishes lower-ranked workers that failed him by feeding them to electric rats until they're nothing but bones. In the third book, after overthrowing the Elgen Executives, he has Chairman Schema make a Sadistic Choice by either having him or one of his workers be hung upside down. One of the executives offers to go in his place and dies from having the blood rush to her head.

At UsefulNotes.Adolf Hitler, the film section of his depictions in fiction should be changed from:
- The Great Dictator is a classic Charlie Chaplin film parodying Hitler and Nazi Germany. It's been stated that the dictator saw the film. Twice.
- The first American comedy film to mock Hitler, however, was You Nazty Spy!, which both Moe and Larry considered their best film. Interestingly, the film shows Moe/Hitler being given power by powerful munitions concerns and things spiraling out of their control. This was a common idea among Americans at the time, based around Hitler's plans for the re-armament of Germany.
- In the bad movie They Saved Hitler's Brain Hitler's followers try to find a new body for the preserved brain (in the original film actually Hitler's head) into a new body. Parodied and copied often enough (as in Irregular Webcomic) to have turned into a sub-trope in itself.
- The Irregular Webcomic example of the Hitler's brain subtrope comes from the fact that Lego don't do a Hitler figure, but do do a brain in a jar.
- Little Nicky: Hitler, quite aptly in Hell, appears briefly in a French Maid's outfit and getting a pineapple forced in his ass.
- The 2004 German film Der Untergang / Downfall is remarkable for depicting Hitler during his final days as a human being instead of a scarecrow. It took some flak for the possibility of inspiring neo-Nazis by portraying him too sympathetically and daring to show him having a measure of compassion for his secretary and underfellows. This seems to have been avoided, as a realistically depicted Führerbunker!Hitler is still a failed human being by all accounts.
- Rat Race has Jon Lovitz and his family stealing Der Führer's car from Neo-Nazis. After a long and tragical series of events (and hilarious), he ends up crashing a WWII veteran convention, with a lipstick moustache and speaking in German-sounding gibberish.
- Inglourious Basterds involves the eponymous basterds' covert mission to kill Hitler and much of the Nazi senior brass before the D-Day invasion. His first, very marked appearance in the film is him slamming his fists on the table and screaming "<NO!>" repeatedly (in full uniform, complete with a pristine white cloak for good measure).
- Remarkably, he does get assassinated. Mostly through sheer luck, a turncoat officer, and a vengeful disguised French Jew with assassination on her mind as well.
- In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indy and his father infiltrate a Nazi book-burning rally in order to recover the father's stolen diary. Indy does get it, but is accidentally shoved before Hitler himself, who autographs the book.
- CSA Confederate States Of America: The Confederacy is an Axis power, but Hitler is unable to reach an agreement on whether or not to go through with the final solution or keep its victims alive as slave labor.

A rewrite for the Glappet example on Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male.
- In the Swedish miniseries Glappet, one of the female protagonists has sex with Odin who's half passed out at a party. He wakes up knowing that it happened, but not who the girl was. When he tries to talk to the school nurse about it she assumes it was male on male, when he tells her it was a girl or possibly multiple girls she just laughs at him and tell him that female on male is physically impossible. As for the protagonist, she treats it as a regular one-night-stand, but eventually comes to realize that the guy feels differently, and apologizes.
~erforce: you've got single double-bullets in that write-up. Most of which should be at the single-bullet level accourding to Example Indentation in Trope Lists.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I'd like to have this added to Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil if it check outs
- Despite his list of murders being long and extremely brutal, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac despises rape (stemming at least partially from his own disdain of physical contact), and when his demented copycat and fanboy Jimmy rapes someone to emulate him, Johnny treats him to one of the goriest deaths in the series by being violated and impaled by a metal rod. The pedophile who was about to rape Squee gets an equally harsh death by having his brains pulled out of his eye sockets.

I think these are post-cut inbounds; plus, there is still the auto-disambig.
