''You can get the "é" symbol by holding down "ALT" and keying in "0", "2", "3", "3" or "1", "3", "0" in that order on the number pad to the right of the keyboard. For some keyboards "CTRL-ALT-E" works too (though others may end up with the Euro symbol instead). If you are using British keyboard layout, "ALT GR-E" will get you it (but it only works with the right hand key marked ALT GR). For Mac users, hold down ⌥-E, then type an E. For iPhone, iPod touch and Android users, hold down on the letter E to get the option. Of course, if you are a native Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, or French speaker or have your keyboard set to the U.S. International layout, chances are you don't need all that mess to produce a simple accented character.''

The game will both PVP and PVE, including new features, like new maps, Heroes, HUD, a new mode called "Push" and even a major upgrade to the game's engine. The latter will have both games share the same Heroes, map pools, and even the same client. The PVE mode introduces a new system, called Talents, were Heroes can be leveling up by using special abilities. Gamers who got cosmetics from the first game can be carried over to Overwatch 2.

The story continues were all the comics and trailers of the first game left off or fills the plot holes that went unanswered.


 * Allegedly Free Game: To those who bought the first game, Overwatch 2 is free for them.

 * Killer App: Once again, if one wants to play OW2, they must use Battle.Net.
 * No Export for You: Some of the updated Heroes' appearances are exclusive only to Overwatch 2.
 * The talents system are only available in PVE mode.

YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The lore side of the fanbase were begging and were about to resorting to do a Satanic Ritual just to get some Lúcio and Zenyatta lore. Turns out that they didn't need to do the ritual, since Blizzard gave the Brazilian freedom fighter and the Omnic monk larger roles in this game.
 * The same goes with other minor characters that didn't get screen time in the first game.
 * DLC: Some gamers stated that Overwatch 2 should've been this, considering that it'll be an add on to the first game.
 * Some fans and haters are now saying that gamers will now have to pay approximately $60 just for a game mode and some skins.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Some of the new duds that the characters wore in the "Zero Hour" trailer and gameplay footage got popular.
 * Fandom Rivalry: With the announcement, it seems as though with some fans and haters that Blizzard *gasp* copied the obscure "Mann vs. Machine" mode, thus rekindling the Overwatch vs TF2 rivalry again.
 * And also, "Left 4 Dead."
 * Or rather, cue the TF2 fans/Overwatch edgy fans/OW haters making fun of Overwatch again just for the fun.
 * It's the Same, Now It Sucks: Some fans are pointing out that OW2 is the first game repackage.
 * Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game: Theorized and rumored. Some gamers are suspecting that the fanservice that Overwatch is...rather infamous for, would be tone down somehow.
 * The fact that in some of the trailers and gameplay footage is proof enough for them that Blizzard is doing this, considering that we don't see guys, like Tracer or Widowmaker, that much or when we do see them, they are covered up more than usual.
 * Subverted, since in both the games and lore, characters like Widowmaker and Tracer, have important roles.
 * Overwatch 2 won't need to be paid, since it's just gonna be a new engine, new visuals, maps, heroes, and etcs. AS long as one owns the current game.
 * It's only the PVE part that's pay-able.
 * During the "Zero Hour" trailer, some fans thought that Mei-Ling Zhou was gonna die when she was seriously injured, because the mainland Chinese Hero was adopted into a "freedom fighter" mascot/meme for 2019 Hong Kong protests.
 * Also, based on that Blizzard doesn't wanna anger China any further.

Main Series Page

''People go up river, big snake is very hungry. Guess what happens.'' —The NZ Listener's twelve-word review of Anaconda

The film series, Anaconda (aka Anacondas) are a B-horror monster movie franchise, made by Hans Bauer, Jim Cash, and Jack Epps Jr., produced and distributed by Sony. All five films revolved around giant man-eating anacondas, an All-Star Cast, people trying to "not get eaten" and achieve their goals, whether its to hunt down and kill the snakes, find cures, or catch and study them.

The last two movies are direct-to-video, but all the three sequels are all regarded as horrible.

tropes found in all the films


 * Antagonist Title
 * Artistic License: Biology: Oh so very much, all in the name of the Rule of Scary. Among other things:
 * Anacondas don't grow that damn big.
 * They don't move at the speed of a cheetah in chase.
 * They don't predominantly prey on humans, especially after encountering life-threatening resistance each time.
 * They don't eat multiple preys the size of a human being one after the other. After consuming a meal like that (which can take hours), the snake will find a secure location where it will remain immobile for months to digest its food.
 * They hiss, but they don't squeal/roar.
 * And they certainly don't regurgitate their prey just so they can hunt again out of sheer sadism. They sometimes do this for safety purposes, such as when they're threatened by a predator and they can't afford to be lethargic by having such a big meal in their stomach.
 * They're constrictors, they don't just grab their prey and swallow it. Even when they find a dead animal, they'll usually constrict it first just to be safe.
 * Dwindling Party
 * Intellectual Animal: The anacondas are actually designed for "Rule of Scary". Of course, they'll be smarter than the average real life ones.
 * It Got Worse
 * Jerkass: It turns out that there's usually one or two human villains in per films.
 * They are worst than the titular aquatic reptiles.

Anaconda 1

Anaconda was a film directed by Luis Llosa and the screenplay was written by Hans Bauer, which came out during 1997, and spawn four sequels.

The first film follows, Terri Flores, and her friends to the Amazon rainforest to shoot her first Discovery Channel documentary on a mysterious tribe that lives in the inner recesses of South America. There they found and rescued Paul Serone, who was stranded in a boat during raining season. Unbeknownest, Serone has an ulterior motive. This sparked off a series of sequels, starting with "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid." And a remake in the works.


 * Absurdly Ineffective Barricade: Danny Trejo's poacher uses his hammer to build a barricade on the door to keep the out. But the snake came from below the deck, and broke through the wooden planks.
 * All-Star Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight, Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz, Owen Wilson, and Kari Wuhrer. Yeesh.

 * Hazardous Water
 * Help, I'm Stuck!: The river boat that Trejo's character was using got stuck by the roots and weeds that got tangle up in his boat's propeller.
 * Paul Serone also ended up in a similar situation, but Terri and her pals are kind enough to bring him aboard their river boat.
 * Honey Trap: Terri tries one of these to get the crew out of their predicament. Works, if only as a temporary distraction.
 * Impending Doom POV: Played with, as the looming creature coming after Gary Dixon and Denise Kalberg
 * Instant Drama, Just Add Tracheotomy
 * Kill It with Fire: "Hold on, I think I can blow it up!"
 * Large Ham: Jon Voight's Paul Serone. Oh, god, Paul Serone. Let's just say, he's the main reason to watch this movie. By far.
 * Licensed Game: As a promotion, Sony released a mod for Quake to promote the upcoming 1997 film...Complete with snakes and an anaconda boss.
 * MacGuffin: The Shirishamas tribe.
 * Mouth Cam: eventually meets his end to one of these.
 * Murderous Thighs: Sarone provides one of the rare MALE examples of this trope.
 * The Mutiny: The crew eventually figures out what Sarone's up to. Unfortunately, he swiftly gets out of it via being a Magnificent Bastard.
 * Not So Different: Sarone gives Denise Kalberg some friendly advice on murder.
 * Opening Crawl: It explains about the monstrous, man eating anaconda snakes that are found within the Amazon Basin, also that some of the tribes living there worships them.
 * The Director's Cut: Hans Bauer's "Anaconda: The Writer's Cut" novel, which was published in 2014.

 * Super-Persistent Predator: The eponymous snakes.
 * : After having managed to.

Trivia


 * Actor Allusion: Since Ice Cube's in the film, there's two references to his music, like the line "Today is a good day" (referencing his "It Was A Good Day" hit and his character listening to "Foe Life", which he co-wrote.
 * California Doubling: Some of the scenes were shot at Los Angeles.
 * Averted, when the film crew did the river scenes, which are filmed on Rio Negro, which is near Manaus, Brazil.

 * Teddy Woods joins Terri's expedition.
 * Spyder Rudner uses his radio to send a distress message.
 * Federico is Mateo.
 * Howard Cazsatt scuba dives to free the boat's propeller from the fauna.
 * Sam Parrish is the captain of a river boat.
 * Jedediah also does sound engineering.
 * Ariel Hunter is the production manager of the documentary.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: The film had trouble shooting scenes in general, since several of the actors are really afraid of snakes. Their fear disrupted the film shoots occasionally.
 * Mark Haskell Smith did most of shooting the screenplay, but this went uncredited.
 * While filming, the anamatronic anaconda's controls shorted out and cause the fake snake to lose control. Some of this resulted in a happy accident, since the footage was included in the final release.

Goofs
 * When Danny uses a mattock on the anaconda, one can hear a metal clashing with another metal sound.
 * Wild boars don't exist in the Amazon, let alone all of South America.
 * Oil barrels that go overboard would float, unlike in the film which shows them sinking.
 * The anaconda babies that were shot in the film are actually baby Boa Constrictors.

YMMV


 * Just Here for Godzilla: Paul Sarone (Portrayed by Jon Voight) chewing up scenery with a far greater appetite than any serpent could muster.

Epic Games Store
The publishers make the call. - Tim Sweeney

Launching sometime in December 6, 2018, Epic Games decided to upgrade their Fortnite launcher (even though they have many games under their belt before Fortnite came out), into a client/launcher that can now sell third-party games, unlike the other digital stores that Epic Games owns that sells tools, like the Unreal Engine. The Epic Game Store was designed in a way gamers can also buy video games for the PC, despite the bare bones and rather primitive features, like their cloud saving. However, this new launcher bought something a bit new, third-party game exclusives; which had little to no presence in the PC gaming environment (But this practice is huge and frequent in the console gaming scene). Also, breaking the industry standard of the thirty percent cut, instead Epic Games Store will only take twelve percent of the revenue (and is only criticizing Valve for doing the standard cut). - Which some developers and publishers see as too much of a cut. The store was made for the developers and publishers first mindset, customers/gamers second or third. The reviews will only be opt in (as a way to prevent review bombing), gamers reporting bugs and technical problems are ticket-based, same with reviews, there's no plans to for forums whatsoever (so users are encourage to use social sites, like reddit and discord, as their forums). Epic Games even stated that most of their games sold in their little store would not have DRMs. Despite the discouragement of the Epic Games Store's barebone nature, they promised that more features down the road, like achievements. Before the Epic Games Store got its rework, Sergey Galyonkin, who also ran Steam Spy as a hobby, also learned what developers want to get out of Epic Games' launcher/digital store.

Allegedly Free Games: Epic Games offers free games, though some of them follow a rotation time that's similar to how Playstation Network.

Digital Distribution

DRM: It's a client launcher.

Expy: Of GOG mostly. Game Breaking Bugs: Too many to count, like:
 * Subverted a bit, since some games that EGS sell, like Boarderlands 3, have an extra DRM or two.
 * Most of the launcher.
 * During their first sale, one guy can't go gungho and go on a bonanza shopping spree, except for five games. His account got banned.
 * The lack of features is so lacking that Gear Box has to build some of the features for BL3, like the pre-loading ability.
 * Going Mobile: The digital client store will be eventually making its big debut in the mobile scene.
 * Though with the same challenging the status quo.
 * Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Store-Launcher: Time Sweeney states that the likes of certain games that has content, like Ecchi, Hentai, and the like WON'T be sold in the launcher.
 * Idiot Programming: See Game Breaking Bugs:
 * Indie Games
 * Swiss Cheeses Security: There were reports by some gamers that their accounts have been hacked by some guy in Ukraine or Mongolia, now this was a problem that was persistent back when the launcher sold only first party titles.
 * No Export for You: Up to the Eleven, on this one.
 * Obliviously Evil: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney's boasts that his launcher will save PC gaming. When it made things more difficult for pc gaming, actual competition, and other launchers as a whole, like:
 * Dismissing the Mac OS and Linux gaming scene (Tim compared installing a Mac and Linux as moving to Canada when US elections don't go a voter's way).
 * Vanilla Edition: After comparing to other launchers/digital distribution stores (i.e. Uplay, Steam, GOG, and the great grandma, Blizzard Battle.Net), the Epic Games Store is essentially basically bare bones.
 * Though they say that they have a roadmap where they'll add the much needed features, like achievements. That way they can catch up with their older and more experience cousins.

Epic Games Store Memes

 * The lack of a shopping cart.
 * Which is irony, since the rest of Epic Games' other stores, like the Unreal Engine, have shopping carts that allows multiple purchases.
 * V-Bucks, third-party companies love getting these.
 * "70%/30% cut"
 * Fan Nickname: Averted, those against Epic Games Store took to calling Tim Sweeney "Timmy Tencent".
 * Due to Tencent owning 40% EGS stock.

Epic Games Store YMMV

 * Bad Liar: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney as this, due to his contradicting Tweets
 * Broken Base: The new launcher became like this to the larger pc gaming community, when Epic Games began doing shady methods to obtain exclusives.
 * A bit subverted, since the launcher was like this long before it decided to upgrade.
 * Critical Dissonance: Sites, like Polygon, Kotaku, and the mainstream gaming news sites rejoiced that the Epic Games Store will be "competing" against Steam and sticking it to gamers (Whereas gamers hate these sites for their dishonesty and them lying and outright hatred on gamers to begin with.)
 * Also, most of these mainstream gaming news sites hate actual gamers and rejoice in any form of censorship, including of games that they hate.
 * Sinister Surveillance: Some of the gamers are suspicious of Tencent, who is one of Epic Games' shareholder that owns 40% of the game company alone and are concern about their influence as well as potential spying. Because Tencent is connected with China's government for to be too close for comfort.
 * Also, that Epic Games Store is spying on a customer's Steam friends without their consent.
 * Fan Dumb: They accused Steam of taking thirty percent cut from publishers and developers, despite this being the industry standards that tech companies use all the time, like Apple, Microsoft, Sony, and etc.
 * Even forgetting or outright ignoring that other launchers, like GOG, itch.io, and others existed and were chipping away at Steam long before Epic decided to make turn their launcher/client into a storefront that sells third-party games. But the fandumb states that "It's only now that Steam is currently being challenge."
 * Rejoicing of the lack of forums...Until they need to go do a "Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi,..." in the Steam forums.
 * Mainly from some console gamers, who are raised by similar practices, like third-party timed exclusives, and doesn't see why PC gamers' are worried about the creeping anti-consumer practices.
 * Subverted, that some console gamers hated pc gaming in general and are happy that a huge rival is getting shot, despite that these same anti-consumer practices will bite them in the butt in the future.
 * Some Fandumb console gamers have often accused PC gaming as a hotbed of pirates, therefore ANYONE that games on PC is an evil version of Aiden Pearce and are happy that some company is laying the smackdown of law.
 * Accusing Steam of "Not doing anything" to make PC gaming better, despite that Valve's accomplishments: like making Proton so Mac OS and Linux won't be left out, having tools for publishers/developers to make games easier, a ton of eyes to wishlist or buy games, and such.
 * Fans of Underdog: Some game publishers and companies, like Devolver Digital and Supergiant Games, release a few of their games as timed exclusive at EGS first or strictly exclusive, since they wanna assist a newcomer digital store.
 * Idiot Programming: Epic has a laundry list of examples, like:
 * Having a security vulnerability that allows hackers to steal the accounts of others.
 * No shopping feature, especially for those who like to buy a ton of games, buying five games or more will cause the client to go bonkers.
 * Internet Backdraft
 * It Got Worse: It increased the Publishers and Gamers have an "Us vs. Them" mentality (More than usual), since publishers and some devs think that gamers don't understand the hard work it is to make games, the blood, toil, and management. While gamers see some of those that jump to Epic Games Store as those who would break their promises and are regarded as dishonest scumbags.
 * It made gamers not trust indie companies' crowdfunding projects, due to the last minute switching and broken promises.
 * Doesn't Trust Those Guys: Some gamers don't even trust Epic Games at all, since the company already displays tone deafness or worst, clueless. Since they made an idiot comment about pc gaming back in the day, were the game company blames most or all of them for piracy when one of their games had low sells.
 * See the "It got worst" example with indie game companies.
 * No OSHA Compliance:
 * To some gamers, Epic Games just:
 * In May 18, 2010, Blame piracy on low sales in the past and hypocritically stated that they will never support PC gaming or gamers that play on PC. Since in their minds those that play games on PC are pirates...No matter what.
 * Ruining their games, like Unreal Tournament and Fortnite, made worst by an interview that Epic Games doesn't know what to do with them or adding updates that the community didn't ask for, rending their games unplayable/unfun, or worst outright anti-consumer.
 * Crippling the Mac and Linux gaming scene, mainly because Tim Sweeney hates the niche group.
 * Killing off games with high potential, like Paragons (an Overwatch clone), because of greed and "You outlive your usefulness."
 * Snake Oil Salesman: Tim Sweeney comes across as this to those being critical of the new Epic Games Store.
 * Some developers and publishers are view as this, like Deep Silver, who handled the Shemnue 3 Kickstarter, they promised their customers a release at digital stores, like in GOG. But at last minute, jumped to Epic Games Store.
 * The Ooblets developers and publishers, who are hostile against customers to the point that they called them "GamersTM"
 * Some indie developers and publishers jumped into Epic Games Store, because:
 * Steam is so clogged up with tons of video games, including asset flips, that their own games will get buried underneath.
 * It's an underdog of a store client.
 * They made a deal already and released their game(s) first in Epic Games Store.
 * It's a change of circumstances, like that wonderful game that's in the works will die without the V-Bucks and deal, the indie company also explained to customers why they're going to switch and can't keep their promises.
 * Playful Pirates: Some gamers who would otherwise not pirate or quit pirating, since there's good storefronts to buy games from, began to pirate or return to the practice due to Epic Games taking the "No Export for You" extreme way, their trust with certain video game companies was broken, so they use pirating as a form of boycotting, Epic Games' regional pricing is too much for them to afford (Even though EG is working to fix that somehow), or the game doesn't work or worse, the Epic Games Store launcher won't work as intended.
 * Somewhat subverted, Some gamers are just pirating and waiting for the timed exclusivity to end, so they can buy it from the storefront of their choice.
 * Obliviously Evil: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney's boasts that his launcher will save PC gaming. When it made things more difficult for pc gaming, actual competition, and other launchers as a whole, like:
 * Dismissing the Mac OS and Linux gaming scene (Tim compared installing a Mac and Linux as moving to Canada when US elections don't go a voter's way).
 * Protagonist Journey to Villain: Some gamers see Epic Games and the EGS controversy as this. The company used to be awesome and producing memorable titles are now a shadow of its former self.
 * Some gamers took issues about the Epic Games Store roadmap, for example they were told that certain features would be available sooner and fully implemented. But these features are in beta-form or not available at all.
 * Spoiled Brat: To some gamers see a few of those who would defend Epic Games Store as spoiled children (and manchildren) who love Fortnite...A bit too much. It doesn't aid Epic Games in the slightest that their game has a similar babysitter status that Call of Duty use to have.
 * Worst is that the Fortnite fanbase has a rather infamous reputation.
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist: Some gamers root for EGS, due to hoping that their favorite game companies can get all the dough that they need to continue making games regardless of what it takes.
 * Other gamers decided to wait for the timed exclusive to be release in the client of their choice.
 * Some gamers outright refuses to support ANY Epic Games Store timed exclusives whether they broke their promises or whether they are pro-consumer.
 * Others even went to not supporting games that uses the Unreal Engine as well, which causes other game companies to be caught in the controversial crossfires.
 * Some of these went to communicate to their favorite companies and offer suggestions of which engine to use, like the Godot engine, an open source engine that can equal the UE.

Fortnite/YMMV

 * Fan Dumb: Some of the fans of Fortnite are quick to call other games, even other games from the Battle Royale genre, as horrible. To them Fortnite is the Crystal Dragon Jesus, who can do no wrong.
 * Epic Games even mocks and makes fun of these rabid fans...Even in their own game.
 * Hate Dumb
 * Averted, other fandom communities, like those from Overwatch and Team Fortress 2, to name a few, made the "Let's kill Fortnite" meme AND with good reasons.
 * It's mainly due to some of the fans being toxic, rude, and spoiled, even outright bullying those who don't play or bully other Fortnite fans that criticize the game's flaws and short comings. Also, Noodle Incidents, like some popular YTers running scams, committing egregious scandals (i.e. Jake Paul and Suicide Forest), and even injuring others, like this kid who hurt her Dad for taking her XBone in order to get her to take a break.
 * No OSHA Compliance: Mainly the game devs that works on Fortnite are submitted to this, by the higher ups.
 * It gets worst during crunch times.
 * Also, game devs that used to work at another Epic Games game gets relocated to work on Fortnite.
 * Parental Neglect: Some Fortnite fans are disappointed that Epic Games is woefully neglecting the story mode by not giving it love, like much needed updates and tweaks, and focusing ONLY on the Battle Royale part.

Fortnite/Memes

 * The Fortnite Anthem
 * The "Let's kill Fortnite" meme.

In-Game Currency
Money makes the world go round, the same also applies to video games' in-universe, were fictional currency is needed to buy things, Virtual money like these has been in games during its early days and can be required through various means.

In RPG games, the in-game currency can be use to buy supplies health potions, berries, ingredients, and weapons. Gamers begin at a low level at the beginning of the game, try to work their way up by battling foes and monsters, doing side quests for the npcs, selling items, opening chest, and even destroying vases and benches.

Another way of getting in-game currency, without level grinding is to buy microtransactions or loot boxes. Since gamers will get in-game money by purchasing or when they open a loot box or two, since virtual coins will be one of the many contents within.

In the real world, things take into a "Weird Currency" turn when it comes to in-game currency, were the fictional currency are used to redeem real world items or even be used as coupons, like buying merch from the actual online stores. buying them through microtransactions, using real money to buy the merch from the company's official online stores, or using prepaid cards to buy them. The reverse can happen, were microtransactions are used to buy in-game currency from the virtual store. Some games have in-game currency trickier to obtain, like making them rare to find during gameplay, having the gamer go through a long level grinding slog, or have two different version of in-game money one easier to obtain while the other is rare and might require actual shopping. Just to entice them to spend real world money. Another example of in-game currency used as weird currency is gold farming, a practice that's more frequent in the Massively Multiplayer Online games were gamers acquire in-game currency and selling it for exchange of real money. It's very distinct, since it's primarily just doing practices, like power leveling, and other means in the game to harvest up the in-game currency. Gamers from first world countries, who don't want to grind for whatever reason pays gold farmers, from developing countries, a pretty penny. This method is an extreme example of obtaining in-game money, since those in developing countries also need real life essentials.

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 approximately 500 years, though the holiday itself is now different. - For example, those the celebrators began using floating lanterns. Various Japanese regions that observe this holiday vary, and now the Bon Festival is celebrated internationally.

The Bon Festival takes place around the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, this is called the "Month of Books" (also known as Fumizuki). Most regions in Japan celebrate this in August (alongside various major holidays, like Golden Week), though deep in certain Tokyo cities, the celebration is more traditional.

Before the start of the first day of the Bon Festival, houses gets cleaned up and food offerings (which are called ozen) for the ancestral spirits, the offerings are placed in front of a butsudan (a Buddhist altar). Paper lanterns are lit inside the houses and eventually taken to their family's grave sites, just to call the spirits back. This ritual is called mukae-bon. Certain regions uses small fires, that are called mukae-bi, as signals and guides to assist the ancestral spirits to find the houses of the living family and relatives.

In the second day, Bon Odori, a folk dance are preformed in parks, gardens, temples, or shrines, the dancers preform at a stage wearing a summer kimono. The kicker is that anyone can join in the dance.

On the last day, families, other relatives, and friends preform the okuri-bon ritual, were they lead their ancestor's spirits back to their graves, by hanging more lanterns, with the family crest, for the return trip. Depending on the regions, fires are used as guide lights.

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.

Anime/Manga

 * 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. This implied that Jirarya has the writing skills of a pre-teen or that Naruto knows how to write (Since the titular hero also is the editor of Make Out Paradise series).

Video Games

 * In Tales of the Abyss, when Mieu notices that Luke was skipping days of writing in his journal. The young cheagal took matters in his own paws, resulting in some hilarious reactions from Luke’s friends.
