You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Find a Trope:
openNo Title Anime
openAdaptation all along
A series is a loose adaptation of a work from another media. One of the main characters is a Canon Foreigner... or so it seems. At some late point of the story, he drops something like "actually, my name is an alias. My real name is X" (with "X" being the name of a specific character from the original work, taking the audience by surprise).
Is Canon Character All Along a good fit? The trope description seems to be about long runners rather than adaptations.
openIsolated Location
Do we have a trope about places that are isolated in terms of hard it is to safety go there?
openNot even the pet is pleased
A pet that isn't as pleased as the others are.
Similar to And Your Little Dog, Too!.
openTwo tropes
1. "You have your (grand)father/(grand)mother's eyes." Is there a trope for that saying? Also a character having said eyes, of course.
2. The inability to use one or both of your arms. Probably due to injury or a dangerous power from the user him/herself.
openIs there a trope for "the mental equivalent of unskilled but strong"?
I know I already made a topic for this, but they answered the wrong question.
openThe mental equivalent of unskilled but strong.
I came up with this phrase After watching Fred do things In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated when I realized that he's a genius when it comes to inventing traps but is clueless about Daphne's advances, but I'm not sure if that actually fits the trope if the trope does exist. But if it does exist, what's the name?
openScrap Metal Armor
A character design where a tough/barbaric/scavenger character's armor consists of chunks of metal haphazardly strewn around their body (or for non-fleshy characters or [[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_vehicle_armour vehicles]], bolted on) instead of a fully-covering suit of armor.
For example, ork 'Ardboys (and vehicles) in Warhammer 40 K, the Goron miniboss◊ in Twilight Princess...
openIn Your Face Wake Up
Is there a trope for one character waking up to find another character's face is inches away from theirs for some reason (trying to kiss them, kill them, their just plain nuts, etc.)
openDo we have a trope for Evil people being stupid? EvilIsDumb is a disambig.
Do we have a trope for Evil people being stupid?
Evil Is Dumb is a disambig, and is being cleaned.
Need something to replace this, although I did just make it not a wick.
What I want is plain and total "Evil = Stupid", with no conditions on why the stupidity happens.
So that rules out Villain Ball and Stupid Evil.
Edited by MaladyopenCan we try to avoid a collision?
Alice and Bob are both piloting vehicles (planes, cars, or whatever) and are headed straight for each other. Alice, hoping to avoid a collision, swerves to her left — and Bob, also trying to prevent the collision, swerves to his right, putting them both back in danger. This can then lead to Alice swerving to her right — just as Bob swerves to his left, making the collision imminent.
openRoles trope for villains? Anime
Is there a trope for this?
Apart from Punch-Clock Villain, Punch-Clock Hero, Friendly Enemy and Go-Karting with Bowser, is there even a trope for this:
Heroes and villains are simply roles for the characters in the Cityof Everywhere, off the clock they all socialise with one another, to them being a hero/villain is just a job, that is, until the true Big Bad arrives...
Basically, the Big Bad of the show seen in supplemental materials is just playing a role, and isn't the true Big Bad.
openA specific event gets truncated/omitted in an adaptation
Basically the "event" version of Adapted Out.
I'm ruling out Adaptation Distillation because that trope is when there are a lot of things truncated, not just one or two.
Do we have this?
openThird Person To Their Face
A character who refers to other characters by name even when they're right there instead of "you" and "him/her/them", which can create an I'm Standing Right Here effect. Something like an inversion of Third-Person Person where it's applied to everyone but the speaker.
openAlternate Dimension Arena
A trope where characters fight in an Alternate Universe made for fighting? sometimes they're regular Pocket Dimension's. Sometimes they're actual locations somewhere in the vast infinity with their own history, and the characters just use that location for their battles. Examples include the fantasy world in Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai (it's not real, but to the Chuunibyou's the trope would be) and New Vestroia.
Keep in mind that this trope isn't really about alternate universes and such, but it's specifically about other worlds being used as a fighting arena.
Edited by KingOfStickersopenEmbarrassed that they've been seen naked
A character that's embarrassed by being/have been seen naked.
openYou're cute when you're helpless
A character who thinks that another character (or people in general) is cute when they're helpless. Whether it be because they're injured, chained up, in the looney bin, unable to talk. They just think it's adorable that they're helpless/defenseless/in need of help, etc.
openArea that seems to be accessible, but cannot be at all Videogame
For example, in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, when you first come to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, Metal Sonic and his Egg Pawns are blocking the entrance to the Observatory Area, so you had to rid him. After that, if you try to enter, Tails tells Luigi that they cannot do so now as saving Mario and Sonic is their top priority. After doing that, when you return, Metal Sonic is back again! And he will keep returning and returning...
