Special:Badtitle/NS90:Forum:Trope Talk/The Matchmaker vs Shipper on Deck/reply (5)

If that was true, Shipper on Deck wouldn't be a subtrope of The Matchmaker. Which is how it's written now, but we could change it, of course.

Anything clear would be great. I guess the question becomes "what tropes should we have?" rather than "what are these?"

I think I'd like:
 * A character who attempts to put at least two other characters together as a couple.
 * A character who believes that two other characters "belong together", but repeatedly daydreams about it rather than acts on it
 * A character who believes that two other characters should might consider dating isn't really that notable, and probably isn't a trope.
 * A character who is used as a plot device to push two characters together, somewhat anvilliciously, like Strangled by the Red String) -- if there's enough examples of this.

Incidentally, all meanings of "two" really mean "two or more. And I think there's overlap -- a character could be one or both.
