Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.

Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

I've decided not to go to my prom this year. I went last year, expecting it to be some big thing and was dissapointed. Just dancing, pointless drama, and too dark. tongue

I've also decided to take characters from story ideas and combine them with characters from old story ideas. While doing this, I realized that I had four Butt-Monkey Cloud Cuckoolander male heroes, three Naïve Everygirl Stepford Smiler female heroes, and three Tomboy Tsundere's. All from different stories. Wow.

@Wave Curious.

Shame you're not going though. ...not to say either of mine were too special, but still, doesn't happen much.

You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stay

@Tidal: It's called a Signature Style.

@Key: Hey, man! Band breakups hurt! It's kinda like a author/director's retirement. Conclusions are always bittersweet and all that jazz.

@Sunsho: Sorry to hear that, bro. -sad-brofist-

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

Its so hard for me to trope my own characters. I just say this guy is moody and thoughful or this girl is haughty and angry or this girl is twitchy and depressed.

I bet this movie wouldn't even sound so dated if it just stopped using future slang every other sentence. It's barely even English.

This is actually what I think it's the best way to do it. It helps you to stop seeing them as characters and start seeing them as people.

Thanks guys.

This band has been a big influence on how I think about the world as well as on my musical style and taste... I can honestly say I would be a lot less happy had I not discovered them. They have a very clear message, and a very positive message, in a day when such a thing is very hard to come by, especially in music... I consider myself a very positive person, and while some of that has come from inside of me, I honestly have to acknowledge that part of that has stemmed from these guys. They've always helped me through any hard times I had, and - I say this with complete honesty - I got to see them live once and it was one of the high points of my life. It's hard to explain how close they are to me.

They said they're doing one last tour... I hope it comes to the UK. So I don't have to fly to America to see them.

Again, I understand completely Wolf. Thankfully, all the bands I've liked had broken up before I started listening to them.

inb4 The Stones are still playing!

The Stones are necromantic liches.

And, yeah, I was blessed to see The Fall of Troy before they broke up. They had a similar effect on me.

Right now I need to see Circle Takes the Square. They've had almost the same effect on me as RX Bandits seem to have had for you, though they're not really positive, depending on how you think of their message.

ALICE!

The Stones are necromantic liches.

My friends and I always joke that Keith Richards has sold his sould and the devil encased it specifically in his telecaster. So if he stops playing, he will die.

Eating pizza, watching Dead Like Me, drinking Svedka. It's my weekend. This is my Friday night!

The Stones live on because they are made of wood. Wood lives forever.

I regret that the RX Bandits are breaking up, even if I only listened to "Tainted Wheat" (which is still lacking a well-done youtube version, unfortunately).

It seems I barely post outside here and the heap anymore
Me too.

It also seems like most of the conversations I have in this thread seem to be only with you, for some reason.

I thought you were referencing a song. One that named Friday as «their Tuesday/Thursday/I forget», and then listed different days of the week but with them being different. Like Tuesday's Sunday, or something...

Wow I suck at explaining. ._.

I can't get the final boss theme of Fairy Wars out of my head.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...
