Welcome to the [[
What is 'Playing With' a trope? Showing what the trope would look like under the usual transformations. The usual transformations are listed in detail on the [[Playing with a Trope]] page. They are things like subverted, inverted, enforced, exaggerated, and so on.
In the pages found in this
{{quote|'''Valid''': Double Subverted: The heroine's love for the hero fails to prevent his death, but as she's led away in despair, she is rescued by a reincarnated hero.
Line 15:
* Go ahead and list as many transformations as you can. If you can't think up a good example, go ahead and leave an entry blank. The [[Wiki Magic]] will bring examples.
* If a trope's subversion, inversion (etc.) is distinct enough to be a separate page on its own, just naming and linking to the separate page is fine.
* A template is conveniently provided at [[MediaWiki:PlayingWith|Playing
* Start by creating your new page by going to the trope and clicking on "Playing With" under the Create New menu
* If you are unfamiliar with the various transformations, [[Trope Name/Playing With|this page]] gives a nice short description of the standard expanded set, as does the [[Playing with a Trope]] page.
* [[Alice and Bob]] and their friends are always happy to appear in your examples.

** "Invoked" vs. "Exploited": An [[Exploited Trope]] is when a [[Genre Savvy]] character can predict that the trope will be in effect and adjusts his behavior accordingly. An [[Invoked Trope]] is when the character is even more pro-active and deliberately goes out of his way to set up the situation for the trope to occur.
** "Averted" vs. "Subverted" vs. "Downplayed": Keep in mind to avoid confusion, tropes are Averted when they don't occur ''at all''; the trope is absent from the work completely. Subversions occur only when the audience is made to believe in advance that a trope will happen, but then it doesn't actually happen at all. For a trope to be Downplayed means it does occur, but to less of an extent than usual, regardless of the setup. Aversions and downplayings are [[Not a Subversion|not subversions]] of the trope.
* "Justified" is specifically defined as IN-UNIVERSE. That means the writers made a reason for the trope to occur in the setting. Not that meta-reasons make it a good choice to make it happen. If the writers do something because of outside influence that's usually "Enforced". Remember that [[Tropes Are
