Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.I'd like to add this example to False Rape Accusation, in the Anime and Manga section:
- This kicks off the main plot of The Rising Of The Shield Hero, when Naofumi's adventuring companion Myne Sophia, who would turn out to be none other than Malty S. Melromarc, first princess of Melromarc, steals all of Naofumi's stuff as he is sleeping and then falsely accuses Naofumi of trying to rape her. Her father, the King, believes Malty without question because of his own hatred of the Shield Hero and the dismissive attitude of the other Three Heroes toward the Shield Hero, as well as the influence of the Three Heroes' Church, which venerates the Sword, Spear and Bow Heroes but reviles the Shield Hero as the "Devil of the Shield" due to the past Shield Hero's support of demihumans. As a direct result of Malty's actions, Naofumi's reputation among the people of Melromarc takes a dramatic nosedive, such that he cannot hire reputable companions and has to rely on slaves (Raphtalia and Filo) to do his fighting for him for much of the series. Naofumi is finally exonerated when the Queen and true ruler of Melromarc puts Malty and the King on trial and uses a Slave Crest (which zaps its bearer every time they tell a lie) in order to expose all of Malty's lies, including the one about the attempted rape, for what they really are.

~Dravencour, I think that example could use a grammatical tune-up. Mind taking it past the Help with English thread
?
Hiya, using this
please:
- Use the first tree to replace the current Blake and Moritmer one on Comic Books;
- Five and six for Film;
- Seven and eight for Literature;
- Nine goes on Live-Action TV;
- Ten-twelve for Tabletop Games;
- 13 on Video Games;
- 14 on Other under the fan section;
- 15 goes on Pokémon.
Thanks!1
Batch to come tomorrow, but at Spider-Man, for Carnage, please change "raises the Elder God, Chthon" to "raises the Elder God Chthon"
~Dravencour, specifically, the sentences are exceptionally long and, as a consequence, read as "rambly". Maybe get a second pair of eyes on that, if you don't see a way to trim it down.
~43110, I tweaked the tree on Other since Code Lyoko already had an entry. Also, I figure the Pokemon example goes to manga from going to the work page, but please include the section proactively in future posts to simplify things. (I assumed alphabetical, so correct me if should be somewhere else.)

Here's the third and hopefully final draft of this:
- This kicks off the main plot of The Rising Of The Shield Hero, with Myne Sophia, a.k.a. Princess Malty S. Melromarc, stealing all of protagonist Naofumi's stuff while he is sleeping and then falsely accusing him of trying to rape her. Most everyone in Melromarc, especially the King and the three other Heroes, believe Malty's lie without question, resulting in Naofumi being branded a pariah in the kingdom and becoming quite emotionally embittered to boot. Because of this, he cannot find reputable companions, forcing him to rely on slaves like Raphtalia and Filo to do his fighting for him. Naofumi is exonerated when the Queen and true ruler of Melromarc returns, puts the King and Malty on trial, and then uses a Slave Crest that zaps its bearer every time they tell a lie in order to expose all of Malty's lies for what they really are.

I'd like to ask for Big Bad Triumvirate to be created as a redirect to Big Bad Duumvirate.
A lot of examples of this trope are actually triumvirates, so it seems to constitute a legitimate alternate title.

Hi, please can the NightmareFuel.RWBY page be amended to include the following warning. It's based on a discussion the fandom thread had a year ago, but the warning hadn't been extended to all the Moments pages, which caused confusion. So, the message is being put on the Moments pages for this year.
Please can it be added below the divisor line that appears below the Nightmare Fuel clean up thread? I've written the entire description section below to clarify the position (it also has the virtue of cleaning up an error I spotted in the Chibi sentence)? Please excuse the quoteblock tags, I wanted to make page text clear, so I've separated the quoteblocks onto their own lines to keep them out of the way.
I've added this post to the Nightmare Fuel clean-up thread so that they know I've requested the change (here
).
Hilarious? You bet. Awesome? Definitely. However, that certainly doesn't mean it can't get scary. Those beasts aren't called the Grimm for nothing.
RWBY Chibi has its own page.
Please bring all potential examples to the Nightmare Fuel clean-up thread
for approval.
First Members see episodes 1 week before public release. As a courtesy, please do not trope them for 1 week until they have been released to the general public. Please only trope the episodes that have been released to the general public. For more information, please visit the RWBY Forum thread.

Tips Worksheet... should that link be moved as well?
Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!At Literature: A to C, please replace the appropriate tree with this:
- The Cthulhu Mythos: Although the Shared Universe originally created by H. P. Lovecraft generally eschews conventional morality, many characters still go the extra mile to stand out:
- Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos and the dreaded voice and soul of the Outer Gods, is a malignant sadist of a god with an all too human-like personality. A devious trickster by nature who enjoys playing sadistic games with mankind for its own amusement, Nyarlathotep wanders the Earth in a thousand avatars, stringing the night with the screams of those plagued by the horrid nightmares he induces wherever he walks. On record, Nyarlathotep ruins entire societies in the form of the Black Pharaoh, possesses and murders men as the Haunter in the Dark, and personally attempts to spirit Randolph Carter away into the throne room of great Azathoth itself. Nyarlathotep seduces men into worshiping his many avatars and orchestrates madness by the masses wherever he goes, differing from his fellow Outer Gods by virtue of being a wholly evil entity hindered by none of his brethren's eldritch mindsets and possessed of nothing more than a lust for reaping the chaos that defines it.
- "The Temple": Lieutenant-Commander Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, commanding officer of the U-29 during World War I, is introduced sinking the lifeboats from a freighter he's torpedoed, making it clear he's done this many, many times before. When the supernatural begins to interfere with the crew of his ship, causing them to experience feelings of guilt and remorse over the lives they've taken, Heinrich has those effected scourged, before escalating to shooting anyone who objects or mutinies. Killing almost the whole of his crew, and aiding his executive officer in committing suicide, Heinrich dies alone on the ocean floor, a victim of his own evil as much as the supernatural.
- The Case of Charles Dexter Ward: Joseph Curwen is a wicked necromancer and slave trader in the 1600s, routinely buying and murdering slaves for his dark rituals. Finally hunted down and destroyed, Curwen uses magic to ensure one of his descendants will resurrect him. Upon Charles Dexter Ward doing so, Curwen attempts to revive his old practices, including conjuring the spirits of humanity's wisest figures and torturing them for knowledge in dark rites. When Ward finally objects to the bloodshed Curwen propagates, Curwen murders him and takes his place, thrown in an asylum when he can't properly pass as his descendant due to his antiquated mindset. It is further revealed Curwen is allied to a horror from beyond, where his plans could lead to the utter annihilation of all life in creation.
- "The Last Test
", with Adolphe de Castro: Surama is hinted to be a serpent man out to cause chaos and death. Corrupting the well-meaning bacteriologist Dr. Alfred Clarendon, Surama helps him to grow truly depraved until he loves suffering for its own sake. Preying on their assistants, Clarendon infects and tortures them to death, moving on to many more people, including children. Intending on spreading his black fever over the world, Surama also plots to make Clarendon his last test when he is no longer useful.
- "The Dreams in the Witch House": Keziah Mason, whose secret name is Nahab, is a woman who unlocked the secrets of interdimensional travel. Using this, she pledged herself to Nyarlathotep and performed ritualistic infant sacrifice over the course of hundreds of years during May-Eve and Hallowmass. As Walter Gilman lodged in her old room, Keziah slowly attempts to corrupt him, trying to have him become Nyarlathotep's thrawl as well, culminating in Keziah wanting to make Walter an accomplice in her latest murder of a child. When Walter realises this and tries to stop her, the livid witch strangles Walter, almost killing him. Seeking immortality and knowledge, Old Keziah was a cruel crone that ranked among Lovecraft's worst.
- "The Thing on the Doorstep": Ephraim Waite, the father of Asenath Waite, was a man affiliated with various dark covens and powers in life who sought immortality regardless of the suffering he inflicted upon others. Consulting dark tomes for a way to live forever, Ephraim finally found a way to expand his own life by body-swapping with his own daughter and damning her to insanity and slow death within his own old body as he took hers. Seeking a male body with strong intellect and weak will to him to weaken and possess, Ephraim slowly seduced Edward Pickman Derby while slowly driving him further and further into madness. When Derby killed Asenath in a desperate bid to stop Ephraim, Ephraim ultimately swapped bodies with him and condemned him to horrific undeath within the rotting corpse of Asenath. Unstopped, Ephraim's dark practices would destroy the peace and comfort of the world as he unleashed untold horror on humanity, jumping from body to body and damning countless more innocents to death for all time.
- Y'golonac, the Defiler, is the god of depravity and a Great Old One reviled even by the priests of Cthulhu for its unspeakable perversions. Gathering cults of those with carnal hearts, Y'golonac has his followers engage in whatever grotesque fantasies they can imagine in tribute to it, hoping to eventually break out of its walled prison and walk free among men before wiping out all humanity with the other Great Old Ones. A sadist fully able to understand and manipulate humans, Y'golonac possesses people at its own merriment and gruesomely devours all those who do not pledge themselves to serving it. Debuting In Ramsey Campbell's 1969 Cold Print, Y'golonac possesses a bookseller in lower Brinchester and drives a man to insanity to draw in more victims for it to subvert or eat—children among them—and ultimately closes the story by devouring the protagonist himself.
On Marvel Cinematic Universe, for Ronan's entry please change the pothole on "Mad Titan Thanos" from Greater-Scope Villain to MCU: Thanos. Thanks!
At Yu-Gi-Oh!, for Dark Marik, near the beginning, please Wiki Word Split Personality.
I'm not quite sure why Hoist By His Own Petard is locked, as it's not on the list of locked pages, but I have two entries to be added to it, both regarding politicians prosecuted under laws whose passage they supported.
- Former US Representative Dennis Hastert (R-IL) was prosecuted and convicted for Structuring (a method of repeatedly withdrawing funds in small amounts to avoid Federal financial reporting requirements of large withdrawals) in order to pay off a person threatening to expose accusations of child sexual abuse when was a teacher and high school wrestling coach. Structuring was codified as a crime by the controversial PATRIOT Act, which Hastert himself oversaw passing into law when he was Speaker of the House.
- The province of Aceh in Indonesia enforces Sharia Law, a very strict interpretation of Islam that forbids immoral behavior including drinking alcohol, homosexuality, and adultery. Mukhlis is a member of the Aceh Ulema Council advising on religious laws. The headline writes itself.
EDIT: Never mind, the page has been unlocked and I did it myself.
