At best I have sub-par social skills. While I am at least somewhat capable of subtlety and trickery, I don't know when to use them (or in some cases like to use them), so I almost never use them. So far I've been pretty bad about remembering to use the minor edit check box. I've been getting better at that though. I have also been bad about italicizing work names. I dislike the distinction between It Amused Me and For the Evulz due to my view of morality.

I usually prefer to edit character pages and recap pages over a work's main page. I dislike natter, but I know other people like it and it is a niche are wiki fills, and you can't please everyone. I shall respect wiki policy on natter. I also dislike italicized quotes, which thankfully aren't part of the standard protocol on this website. I dislike italics in places I find it not necessary (such as quotes), because then if part of it should be italicized, its just not italicized and looks stupid.

Trope Ideas
Most of the trope Ideas I am working on, but don't have enough examples to officially propose them (in most cases I already have 2 examples, I am supposed to have 3), but came up with a name for already. Feel free to ask about one, or all of them, especially if you think you might have an example. If you think one of these already exists, please let me know: I think a lot of examples of How Dare You Die On Me are actually this trope. Compare How Dare You Die on Me!. How Dare You Die On Me is almost always preceded by this trope if person A is with the person B just before person B dies. Unlike How Dare You Die On Me person B to be perceived by person A as dead. "Die, and you’ll piss me off"
 * 555-Boom (A bomb that makes use of a phone, probably using a cellphone as part of a detonator)
 * Always Say Die (Someone or some group refuses to use euphemisms for death (or at least deaths the person played a part in). Sometimes these people or groups play a role in people dying and they do not want euphemisms to cause them to forget the weight of their actions.)
 * Amnesia mystery (Someone, almost always the protagonist, has amnesia (probably laser guided). Usually memories will come back to him/her as the plot demands. In order for this trope to apply there has to be more going on than a simply figuring out who (s)he is. In some cases the person might already have a pretty good idea of who (s)he is, but there is something else going on.)
 * A Real Man is a Bread Winner. (An adult male is only a man if he is able to provide for his family (this view is either portrayed by the narrative or is considered true by at least one character), alternatively the male is not viewed as a man even though he is providing enough for the family but is providing less than a female partner). See Also A Real Man Is a Killer and NEET.
 * A Side of Poison
 * Not reading the briefing/ Doesn’t read the briefing (the first would just be a trope, the second would be a character trope)
 * Confessing to the Wrong Crime (someone is confronted about a crime, and they confess to a different crime, and they aren't using it as an alibi)
 * Don’t You Dare Die On Me.: Person A getting pissed at person B (or at least presumably at person B) who is dieing for dieing while person B is still alive. Alternatively person A announces he will be upset with person B if Person B dies (or at least upset, presumably at person B). Occasionally this may happen before the Person B isn’t even wounded. In these cases this person B is about to do something person A perceives as dangerous, like go on a suicide mission.

- Attack on Titan (english dub)

"One day, one day... You'll all just be a bad memory. Mankind will show all of you. Mark my words the last one standing Will Be Us! Gorge while you can, you bastard. Just wait 'til Captain Levi..."
 * Embarrassing Alibi (someone has an alibi but is reluctant to use it because it is embarrassing, illegal, ect…)
 * Explicit Combo (needs better name, Some game mechanics work well together because of simple synergy. These mechanics directly interact with each other in a way that they don't interact with other mechanics, and not just due to one mechanic being unique. For example, in Pokemon, defense curl http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Defense_Curl_(move) doubles the power of roll out. In Magic the Gathering, festering newt http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370772 gives -4/-4 when to am opponent's creature when it dies instead of -1/-1 if bogbrew witch is out.)
 * Establishing an Unreachable Baseline
 * I Didn't Learn Anything!
 * God’s a Buddhist (god is real, and follows a different religion)
 * Giving the Criminal His Gun Back (A criminal has finished his time in prison, he goes to a window to get his things back, and among the things he is given back is a/are: weapon(s), stolen items, and/or contraband)
 * How did you get rid of the third one? (What third one?)
 * Just you wait, when X gets here, he's going to kill all of you (Help is on the way and its going to kick your ass) A shorter name would be nice.

- Attack on Titan (english dub)

"BE SAVED, FILTHY AS THOU ART."
 * Killed equals Redemption/Death is Redemption (Being killed redeems someone, or this is at least the viewpoint of the killer (or attempted killer). Sometimes this death must be done in a certain way, such as fire (perhaps it burns away the sins). The trope does NOT require that the person that is going to be 'redeemed' consents to this. Sometimes this redemption might 'save' the victim's soul from eternal damnation. Whats a few measly minutes on fire compared to that? Really the victim should really be thanking his savior.)

- Inscription on all Basilisk artillery shells fired by Imperial Forces during the Amar secession

"Redeem them with sword and fire"

"As you wish, sir. I've also prepared a safety briefing for you to entirely ignore"
 * Lake of Fire (fire being described or depicted as a liquid)
 * Like A Force Of Nature (a character is described or depicted as a Force of Nature, perhaps a natural disaster)
 * Little People in The Box (Someone thinks TV (or a radio or something) works by miniature people being inside it).
 * Living Bomb Shelter (Oh crap that's bomb is about is about to go off, we can't get away in time, lets jump into the mouth of that monster)
 * Non-sequitor password (Something is said to indicate a password is to be said, with an implied answer based on what is said. The "correct" is completely unrelated to the implied answer).
 * Not reading the briefing/ Doesn’t read the briefing (the first would just be a trope, the second would be a character trope).

- Iron Man (film) 3


 * Missing doors and windows ("things are looking scary, I'll just leave the way I came in. What!? Where is it!? I could have sworn it was right here!?" See also It Was Here, I Swear)
 * Reading Magic Words Out Loud (someone accidentally casts a spell by reading words out loud, that the person didn't know were magic words)
 * Real Illusions
 * Real Life Cameo (An actor is in character on our side of the fourth wall. For example Colbert at the 2006 Emmys. Admiral General Aladeen did this a bit).
 * Release Me So I Can Gnaw On Your Bones (Instructing someone to do something while also stating it is clearly not in that person being instructed's interest to do so).
 * Reversed Therapy (A therapist or psychiatrist is explaining their problems, life, ect... to their patient)
 * Rhetorical Instruction Blunder
 * Please Stop Clapping, Okay Go Ahead and Clap (Someone urges a crowd of followers to stop clapping and cheering, and then changes his mind, probably after they stop)
 * Singing Non-Verbal Notes
 * Sold Out For a Gag Aesop
 * Stress Induced Laughter (laughter causes stress, often the laughter occurs when the participants are in no immediate danger, for example they laugh after they just escaped a bunch of mooks by making a rockslide a barrier to them)
 * The Sky is the Limit (Literally! The sky only reaches up to a certain height, and you can't get higher than that. "Meanwhile, the Fenriswolf advances with its mouth gaping: its upper jaw reaches to the heavens and the lower one drops down to the earth. He would open it still wider, if only there were room.")
 * Treacherous Affection (The hero has an unreturned fondness for a villain, preventing him from killing him)
 * Violent smell (A smell is depicted as attacking someone, such as the fumes taking the shame of a hand and slapping the person)
 * Uh, It’s porn (claiming or implying something is porn as a cover, for example spiderman claimed/implied that where his costume is was his porn stash)
 * Unibrow shaving (someone is shown having a unibrow, and they split it into to eyebrows, probably with some adhesive tape. this is generally done when the person is making him/herself pretty e.g. for a date, the character might only have the unibrow during this scene).
 * Useful taunt: A taunt that has use (an entertaining animation and/or infuriating a fellow player by rendering yourself vulnerable don't count. Prettymuch anything else counts. An example of useful taunts are TF2 kill taunts, or taunts that could be considered ineffective attacks such as Luigi's taunt in mash bros.)
 * Will hold sign for food (Someone who is down on their luck is holding a sign saying they will do X for Y, Y almost always being food. As the example shows, proper spelling is optional For example: this picture)
