You have a trope that you have seen a million times. It just needs a snappy name. Discuss it here! This is also a good place to call for examples.
How this works: Cruise through the list looking for a title or synopsis (which we call the 'laconic version') that might interest you. View the draft description with attached discussion, then give the sponsor your feedback and maybe an example or two of where you have seen the trope in media.
Have an awesome idea but think it might already exist? Check the Trope Finder or explore the TV Trope indexes to see whether another troper beat you to the punch.
Please see the TLP Guidelines for the full etiquette of TLP.

Looking for a discussion you thought was here? One of two things could have happened.
It could have been launched or "discarded". Check here. Discarded just means that someone thought it had come to a resolution not needing a launch. It can be restored. Just push the "restore" button on the Launches list.
You thought you had written it up or read it here, but it was all just a dream or an elaborate daylight fantasy. Don't feel bad. It happens to us all.
