''[[Rookie Mistake]]'' is a shared universe, loosely based in the world of ''[[Spy vs. Spy]]''. It can be found mostly on [[y!gallery]], and consists of art, writing and role-playing.
There are spy agencies that don't officially exist, where everyone wears the same color and [[Nice Hat|fedoras are standard]]. Also, for some reason, there's a lot of [[Cast Full of Gay|same-gender romance]].
Find most of it [http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/club/7064/ here]{{Dead link}}.
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Boy and His X]]: After Shaun the Battle-Sheep was introduced, Mac is hardly ever seen without him.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Several characters had them.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
* [[All There in the Manual]]: A lot of character and background information is told through doodles and comments instead of in-story.
* [[Alternate Universe]]: Too many to count.
** Addressed down below in folders. Also, 64 main ones.
* [[Ambiguous Innocence]]: Some of the younger spies.
* [[Animal-Eared Headband]]: Catnip has one.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
** Bud and Ten when they got their own storyline.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Tons of it, and openly acknowledged.
* [[Back
* [[Badass]]: Many characters, but especially notable with the entire Purple Agency.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Played straight with Puce and Azrael.
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* [[Character Development]]
* [[Character Overlap]]: Many of the writers have brought in characters from their original works to be spies, or as bit parts.
* [[Chase Fight]]: Used from time to time, an example of sorts is in [http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/717896/ this fic]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Cheerful Child]]: Kevin is a toddler, but counts.
** Mac is a robot, but also counts.
* [[Childhood Marriage Promise]]: Lucky and Earl.
* [[City of Spies]]: New York City is the central setting of most stories. Explicitly stated as neutral territory.
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: Some author's story chapters have this. Heck, some of the community straight up has [[Orphaned Series|discontinued stories]].
* [[Closet Key]]: Lucy had no interest in men (or anyone, really) before Maroon.
** Terrance had no interest in anyone either until Blondie.
** Roan to Lag.
Line 63 ⟶ 62:

* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: The Lady in Gray once had someone deported to Mexico despite their not being Mexican or knowing a word of Spanish.
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Boddy and Duchess.
Line 70 ⟶ 69:
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Most spies to some degree.
** Ceil, notably, constantly comes up with implausible scenarios he might have to protect himself from and readies himself for them.
** Switch, if you count all the random in his pockets.
* [[Creepy Twins]]: Mary and Sue, who are very [[Twincest|close]] and named [[For the Lulz]].

* [[Love Confession]]: [http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/657328/ Moron]{{Dead link}}. Unfortunately he gets [[Platonic Life Partners|shot down every time]]. Not surprising considering his skewed view of proper [[Love Interests]] due to [[Parental Incest]]. So he goes ahead and confesses to [[Like Brother and Sister|Duck]], [[Parental Substitute|Labrador]], [[True Companions|Chiffon]] and [[Does Not Like Men|Benny]].
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Strawberry and Wolf, though not everyone in-universe likes him. Blank isn't as much of a maniac, but it ''is'' his favorite topic of conversation.

Line 201 ⟶ 200:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Seamus' hair grows crazy fast and so is just kept long. [[Robot Girl|Amalthea]] was made that way.
* [[Retcon]]: A few times, most notably with Lilac.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: Several.
** And even in a very male character dominated group, two of them are [[Robot Girl|girls]].

Line 230 ⟶ 229:
** Ribbon and Nothing.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Schwarzwald mercenaries Mary and Sue when they show up in stories.
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Yes. A lot.
Line 251 ⟶ 250:

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Flora, Jared, and Thumper.
** Despite everything, Narcissus still manages to fall under this.
* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]]: Benny, although he tends to omit important info.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Benny because of [[Turn Out Like His Father|his dad]]. Thumper and Paper because [[Knight in Shining Armor|chivalry isn't dead]]. And Ilya.
Line 269 ⟶ 268:
* [[An Ice Person]]: Ljod, whose name literally means "ice."
* [[Catgirl|Catboy]]: [[Meaningful Name|Cat]].

* [[No One Could Survive That]]: {{spoiler|Hound and the explosion that kills him.}}
* [[Oddly Small Organization]]: Hench Co., a privately owned organization who put together monsters, potions and machines for villains with a busy schedule. The entire operation is handled by three [[Mad Scientist|mad scientists]] who have a [[Mysterious Employer|rarely seen boss who only comes in for progress reports]].
* [[Puberty Superpower]]: Kiyoshi, granted this kicks in [http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/512901/ at the]{{Dead link}} [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|last possible moment]].
* [[Secret Identity]]: Well duh.
Line 303 ⟶ 302:
