I'm Taking Her Home with Me: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

* Referenced in episode 9 of the new season of ''[[Darker Than Black (Anime)|Darker Than Black]]''. [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]] Kiko and her like-minded friend see Suo, who happens to look like some anime character that they like. The friend suggests they take her home with them. Kiko, who has [[Wrong Genre Savvy|finally figured out]] she's [[Genre Savvy|not in a show where that's a viable option]], says:

{{quote| '''Kiko:''' I'm not into lolicon. Besides, that's illegal.}}

* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Alphonse has a tendency to pick up cats and '''keep them in his armor'''. Edward is not happy about this. Referenced HILARIOUSLY when Ed assumes Al's found another cat in an alley. Except it's not a cat, it's Ling.

* Though not to the point of the trope's name, after Tohru's initial encounter with Kisa in ''[[Fruits Basket (Manga)|Fruits Basket]]'', the latter follows the former around for the duration of her stay. While Kyo cracks that it would bug the crap out of him, after Tohru stops walking and Kisa bumps into her, Tohru squeals and glomps her. After Kisa leaves, Tohru mentions her slight sadness at not having her around. Later volumes of manga have scenes where other characters are talking and the reader can see little hearts floating into the more serious panels, revealed to be emanating from Tohru and Kisa hugging each other. Every time they see one another, Tohru has the same squeal-and-glomp reaction.

'''Take her home''' }}

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'': "And I shall call you Mr. Tweetums! For it is very evil!" And in a later episode: {{spoiler|"Fool! There is no one who I would want to remember~... Mr. Tweetums! [[Big No|Nooo!!!]] [[Tranquil Fury|You made me forget my very best friend"]]...}}

* ''[[Past Sins (Fanfic)|Past Sins]]'': Nyx is found by Twilight Sparkle in the middle of a dark forest all alone and scared... naturally, she adopts her.

* In ''[[Fan Fic/My Little Hangover|My Little Hangover]]'', a drunken Rarity does this with a full-grown panda.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOwogW6RC40 There is a Youtube clip of Pedobear doing this to a child at one of the larger cons.]

* The reason inter-species adoptions are possible -- e.g. a dog with puppies adopting a baby bunny it might have normally had for breakfast, a [[Older Than Feudalism|she-wolf adopting]] [[Raised By Wolves|a human infant]], etc. More specifically, facial features with certain proportions (huge eyes, tiny nose, tiny mouth, round head) really hit an onlooker's maternal instincts, and happen to be pretty much universal among mammals, so that sometimes, under the right circumstances, the instinct to take it home and care for it overweighs the instinct to snack on it.
