Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
It's a misuse of the trope entirely. My God, What Have I Done? is when a character realizes that their actions have caused some kind of tragedy or disaster. It has nothing to do with discovering that your lover is really the villain, unless your love for them caused you to unknowingly aid their plans.
Edited by Fighteer "It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"IDK what trope it is either but I wanted to add that I support your interpretation. I mean, also probably Portly-Rind is not into dudes, but the line about having regrets seemed pretty clearly in reference to Snatcher specifically being someone Portly-Rind finds disgusting rather in reference to his gender.
(My mother also came to that conclusion independently of me, lol)

I don't know if this example from The Boxtrolls is appropriate, so I decided to run it by here before doing anything with it.
FTW I remember a discussion here earlier about whether a certain UI citation was valid (it was apparently judged invalid as an SJW rant), and for the record I saw through the writer of that rant from the word "go". Lord Portley-Rind regretting his relationship with "Madame Frou Frou" wasn't because "she" was actually a he, it was because Snatcher had just acted like a conniving and entitled jerk to him (and this is coming from someone who had just seen the film).
Just checking to see if that example's appropriate, is all; "when in doubt", after all.
