(I'm not sure where this really belongs, so I'm putting it in YF for now. Mods, feel free to move it to Forum Games if you think it fits better there.)
The point of this thread is to list your favorite tropers and say what makes you like them so much. Please be specific; we already have Gushing About Shows You Like if you want to gush about TV Tropes or the Forums in general.
EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

Gonna toss a gush at Madrugada for giving me my signature. I don't know why, but I fell out of my chair laughing when I read that. Cheers! /glassraise

Aw, thanks. It's the first time I know of that I've been deemed sig-worthy

I think I've seen someone else using something you said. I can't remember who though.

Was it the one about the Charmin ads being the most convincing argument for literature over tv? Or was that just in Maddy's sig from another troper? I can't remember.
Emperor Wu liked cake, but not exploding cake!

That's one I sigged from someone else, although I didn't think to attach the name and now I don't remember who I stole it from.

@Madrugada: Did you ever get that gush for you about keeping up with my writing? Well, it counts for tonight as well.

Oh jeez, have you have that sig the whole time? I gotta start paying more attention...

Gush for Blackmoon, for being the first person (other than me) to post in my "Go Trope Yourself!" thread. And double gushed for having it be an on topic post. Go Blackmoon!
Oh shit, this means a double shot. /manup /glassraise

I did, Space. And I appreciate it. You do do good work. And I still stand by something I said nearly a year ago — I will not be surprised at all if someday I'm looking at a book in the bookstore thinking — "I read that when it was a rough draft..."
Landstander; I've been using it for maybe the last month.

@scrib: Thank you. Lowest standard for a gush I've seen yet, besides maybe, "A gush for [x] for existing!", but I'll take it. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

@Blackmoon: in this circumstance it works. I was expecting the first comment to be a dig at my ego or some random shitpost. (let's face it, the thread does kinda beg for it). I was pleasantly surprised. Gracias.

No prob. Hey, what can I say? I'm a fun-loving guy, and once in a while, a little vain.

@Black: that's enough to make we want to kill a six-pack with you sometime.

Partially to lower the standard for gushing even further: A gush to TOMOTAKINO for existing conceptually. And for being hilarious.
