Bon Festival (Useful Notes)
The Bon Festival, also known as Obon, Festival of Lanterns, or the Festival for the Spirits of the Dead, is a Japanese holiday that's similar to Mexico's Day of the Dead. The holiday lasts a week commemorating and honoring the dead, especially the ancestors, due to the Buddhist beliefs that the spirits and ghosts of love will come to visit the world of the living, mainly to revist the household altars. These week long holidays were celebrated for 500 years.

Traditionally lanterns are hung outside of houses, the family shrines and altars are clean up for the spirits, dances are performed, and offerings (called ozen) are placed in the front of altars, temples, and grave sites occasionally.

Anaconda: Hunt for the Blood Orchid
picture for article. Tagline: The Hunters will become the hunted.

summary: Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid was a sequel to Anaconda (1997)|Anaconda and was directed by Dwight H. Little. It is the second installment of the Anaconda film series and it follows a small expedition team, that was funded by the Wexel Hall pharmaceutical firm, into the inner jungles of Borneo to find the mythical flower, called the Blood Orchid, which they believe to give humanity longer and healthier lives. Until, disaster struck, then they have to fight for their lives to survive a very unfriendly jungle, including anacondas that are stalking them.

Trivia

 * California doubling: according to "Special Effects Toolbox Creating Anaconda" makings, New Zealand doubles for the Mendranag river and some of the other scenes.
 * Averted. The crew used the Kalimatan Mangrove Forest for filming, the forest is in Indonesia.


 * This was Hollywood's fist movie to have its premier in Fiji.


 * The score, by Nerida Tyson-Chew, was nominated for Best Soundtrack Album in Australia's 2005 Screen Music Awards.

Loot Box
Loot Boxes (aka "Loot Crate", "Prize Crate", and many other names. Also to not be confused for a mail order subscription were mystery boxes) are consumable items that can be redeemed to received a randomized box that opens up virtual prizes, like skins, weapons, and armor. - Also, an annoying factor if the gamer already has that cosmetic(s). Some of these virtual prizes are "rare" to obtained and are color coded for convenience|color coded to separate them from the frequents prizes that regularly drops. The loot boxes' Asian counterparts are similar to the gashapon vending machines, besides having similar traits to their western cousins. But the difference that these loot boxes has: are the player spins to get randomize items, and mostly go by a vending machine appearance. One of these types of gachapon loot boxes are the "complete gacha" (aka konpu gacha) were players need to collect items akin to puzzle pieces to form one huge yet rare item. They, loot boxes, can be bought using real money to buy microtransactions, grinding for virtual money, buying keys from the virtual store and using them to redeem, wait for them to be drop during or after gameplay, to reach the next level, special occasions or events, play and complete rounds without quitting during in a multiplayer, MMNO, and co-op games. Some of the loot boxes' contents can be tradeable after redeeming or converting them into in-game currency, which can be use to buy the items that they want. All of these versions of loot boxes can be found in the smallest mobile games and up to the huge video games that can be found in PC and consoles, especially ones that uses the free to play models.

One of the earliest and major influential form of loot boxes originated from some of EA's earlier FIFA games, like FIFA Soccer, and this was a bit long before the loot systems that are found in MMORG and the mobile games' popularity boom, which are also the loot boxes' prehistoric family; since they all paved the way to the modern form of loot boxes. Andrew Wilson, one of EA's CEOs, evolved FIFA's systems since he saw that they can merge microtransactions with the surprise boxes. Some of the reasons why game companies uses these controversial mechanics was so they can get ongoing revenue while not dealing with DLC or game subscriptions tediousness, but to keep gamers engaged and getting on-going revenue to possibly keep the game(s) in question updated and in good conditions.

These game mechanics are not without controversy, gamers hate loot boxes since they deem them to be predatory in nature and equates them to gambling, since it has a chance mechanic were people will be made to spend more money just to get the skins, weapons, or armor that they want if they do not get the skin that they want. Also the nature of rewarding those that spend more money on loot boxes to get more perks and minimizing actual gameplay and fairness. As well as the fact that a game which has loot boxes are already heavily priced, like 30 or 60 US dollars, for the main game and offer so little content. Also, the prize crates also came under fire by international countries, like Belgium, that ruled them as gambling, placing them alongside casinos, and Japan were the kompu gacha loot boxes are banned by the Consumer Affairs Agency (It's only complete gacha loot boxes, the rest still remains being used). Some of the reasons why non-gamers, like politicians, took noticed was because of fearing of an underground market involving skins, besides the usual dreading that young kids and teens' developing minds will become akin to the gambling addicts.

Trope Poster Museum
We here in All The Tropes love to categorize things, like tropes, wikis, cartoons, tv shows, movies, and such, one day we were thinking: Suppose there's a museum of tropes, that has displays of those greats that represent tropes. Don't worry, they displays won't become alive, as far as we know...It's just for fun.

Please do not confuse with Religion Tropes.

-- Old Version --

We in All The Tropes love to categorize things. Tropes, tv shows, books, and everything that we can get our hands on. So, one day we got to thinking: What would things be like if the world were run entirely on tropes and what they could be? Who would be the Gods and Goddesses? So, we pooled our resources and come up with as much ideas as possible. No condolences, human sacrifices, and payment is required yet...It's just for fun.

Trope Poster Template
Before Submitting a God/Goddess, Read The Rules: These rules are made so we don’t fall like Tv Tropes, their Trope Pantheon is more convoluted and messed up than Call of Duty. - How you ask? You need a spreadsheet to keep track of everything, we want to keep this mainly as a trope museum, having a character that embodies the trope.

1) Use proper grammar at all times. If your English is poor or not your first language, use the sandbox to get it proofread before posting or do not post.

2) If you have any bias for or against a character, keep it out of your writing.

3) Crossovers should make sense, as in having some modicum of logic.

4) Do not do lazy things, like voice actor connections between characters, to write crossovers. If you want to make crossover jokes, there are better ways of doing so.

5) Similar to rule four, please refrain from doing recycled memes. (Example: If making Mario god of mustaches, a meme reference to SM 64 DS where a battle for the best one was a PLOT POINT would be fine, just don't wear out a ton of memes in the process, try to write SOMETHING clever and original of your own).

5) Do not put characters in positions, just because they are in fashion now. Do it because the character(s) best embody a trope.

6) Keep everything consistent.

7) Refrain from trying to write epic fanfiction sagas in All The Tropes, this is a wiki. It’s encouraged that one takes that spark of creativity to fanfiction.net, deviantart, Archive of Our Own, and other writing sites like it to make fanfiction about the ATT's Trope Pantheon, not here.

8) If you’re writing just because a character turns you on, don't.

9) If you’re writing about real people for the Trope Pantheon, use only Historical Domain Characters, especially if they’re larger than life. Don’t use currently living people, especially politicians, we don't want problems.

10) Reminder: Careful if you're bringing over a god/goddess from Tv Tropes, please do not copy word for word, otherwise it's copyright infringement. Say it in your own words. - Unless you also post on Tv Tropes and you're bringing over your own edits. In the latter case, follow the obvious regardless.

-- New Deity Template --

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames/Fan Nicknames)
 * An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
 * Rank: This can range from god, demigod, lesser god, and whatever status the Greek Fates has.
 * Symbol: An image, icon, or item that's used to represent the deity.
 * Alignment: Good, evil, anti-heroic, and so forth. If one cannot do that, one can use the Dungeons & Dragons character alignment, the ATT Pantheon is kinda base on D&D after all.
 * Portfolio: The Trope/tropes associated with the character
 * Domains: Things this character has influence over.
 * Allies: Gods that are the said god's Pantheon friends/allies
 * Rivals: Gods that are the said god's Pantheon rivals (Or worst, foes).
 * Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon have relationships with each other (examples including Enemy Mine, Friendly Enemy, etc.)
 * Now add random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights, etc.

Cheagal Fonts
Whether a character is a precocious child, team pet, or an alien ends up writing on behalf of the adult, legal guardian or human adult. Doing this gives results that is heavily implied that the youngster is either a genius and wise beyond his years, has better handwriting, or the adult in question’s writing is similar to how a child writes, has average/ horrible handwriting, has the mindset of a child, alien, or a pet, or worst, the immaturity of a child. This can be played for humor or can be a very nice save on the child’s part, in a more serious story, especially in thrillers, horror stories, and action-adventures.

Compare and contrast ‘Signature Style,’ ‘Creator Thumbprint’, and Most Writers Are Adults.

Examples


 * The trope namer came from Tales of the Abyss, the cheagal in question, Mieu, tries to fill in for Luke with writing in his daily journal, the other characters inquire about Luke’s penmanship, implying that Fabrve’s writing is questionable or Mieu knows how to write human.

 * In a Naruto filler, it turns out that the titular character completed the latest Make Out Paradise novel, which made the shojun think that the rival leader send him a peace gift.

Video Games
