Gush About Tropers You Like

Go To

(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EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

Clearly, it will take a more focused effort to troll [AOD].

Just create a new account, join the fora, and act exactly like how Matrix did when he first came here.

Acting exactly as Matrix did then is easier said than done, there was much more to the character than "cutesy! pokemon! skitty!", otherwise it wouldn't have driven AOD to such a frothing rage.

I also remember the supreme sexual frustration and the short temper.

And the cheerful responses to serious threads without actually adding anything to the discussion.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Yep, also, rudeness and reveling on the fact that he did absolutely nothing to contribute to the wiki.

And, of course, he is better at these things now.

Now you are not only discussing how to troll [AOD], you are giving me a history lesson!

Back to saying good things about people!

Katrika is fun, refreshingly cheerful, surprisingly inventive, and poetically poetic! I'm glad to have her and her pinkness around, even though I think ~ just wants to eat her brains or something.

[AOD] is passionate. He may use harsh language and resort to extreme methods, but he's good intentioned at heart.

So the fact that I've barely posted as ~ lately means I got a girlfriend?

Yeah, just saying whatever is not enough to piss me off! It may seem like it but no!

It takes a certain combination of: Willful Ignorance, Mulish Stubbornness and Stupidity. Honestly this kind of thing would make any intelligent, reasonable person frustrated if one had to argue against them.

Even though I rail against moe and otaku and such, I don't really get pissed off against people who like it if they speak in a reasonable way.

Did I mention Zyxzy? I like him. He seems like a respectable guy. He is always articulate and keeps a cool head.

You're looking for this person.

Hmmm, let me see...well, Haven's always amusing and seems like a pretty positive person. And plus, how can you not like the main character of real life? Coyotic Evil's always really nice, and is just a cool person in general.

So, yeah. I like them!

Whoa, I was on a list on the last page! Twice! Strange. Typo? Not that it matters. Thank you anyway, Schitzo.

Some more people I don't hate/think are cool:

  • Katrika
  • Zephid  *
  • Zyxzy

...Man, I suck.
