Working draft of new projects below:

Super Robot Wars 30 working tropes list


 * Pronoun Trouble: Comes up due to the presence of Majestic Prince and the character of Ange, who has similar issues in the source canon, due to an implied case of being intersex. The Japanese version of SRW 30 opts to follow the JP dub of the show and uses their version of gender-neutral pronouns. The English versions default to they/them pronouns, with it noted at one point this to avoid issues since Ange refuses to elaborate on their preferred term of reference and this causes the least trouble.

The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook working tropes


 * Defictionalization: Zigzagged. While the book does try to maintain a veneer of "in-universe" tone, the footnotes do give hints suitable for real-world chefs where needed, and the recipe instructions are legitimately based on IRL cooking instructions.
 * Description Porn: The text tends to be as evocative of the food taste and appearance as the images themselves, often rendered in a verbose manner with references to the TES lore sprinkled liberally.
 * Food Porn: The book is chock full of lots of images of actual food cooked to resemble the recipes in the book.
 * Pragmatic Adaptation: Culinary version. Some things, like horkers, don't exist IRL, so the recipes for the more fantastical foods often substitute real world ingredients that are as close as possible but make real-world sense.
 * Shown Their Work: Invoked. The author clearly wanted to show they based their recipes on extensive knowledge of the TES lore.
 * Supreme Chef: A few nods are made to "The Gourmet", who this in the TES lore. The author often recounts his instructions on the dishes based on their book Uncommon Taste, and appends some notes of their own to ways to compensate for some things that may not be easily possible for IRL cooks to accommodate.
