Line 7:
When defining a trope, it often helps to establish its similarities, differences and relationship to other tropes; a common convention on this site is to refer to some tropes as Sister Tropes.
When two or more tropes have some overlap in their descriptions, "parentage", or use, but not enough for one to be a [[Sub-Trope]] or [[Super-Trope]] of the other, these are called
These are the four Trope Sisters, each more lovely than the last:
Line 33:
* So are [[Gargle Blaster]] and [[Hideous Hangover Cure]].
* [[Cast of Snowflakes]] is what happens when those [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] are given characterization.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Herod]], your [[Genocide Backfire
* [[Human Shield]] and [[Bulletproof Human Shield]] both deal with bystanders being used to protect a target. The former discusses the psychological coverage, while the latter deals with physical protection.
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] is related to [[Nightmare Fuel]], but it's basically something deliberately horrific that works, rather than unintentional. And when it fails, it's [[Nightmare Retardant]].
* [[Evil Twin]], [[Evil Counterpart]], [[Evil Knockoff]], and [[Criminal Doppelganger]] are all about evil duplicates of one person, but the evil persona in the individual tropes are an identical twin, a persona from an [[Alternate Universe]], an intentionally created duplicate, and an [[Identical Stranger]], respectively.
* [[Descending Ceiling]] and [[The Walls Are Closing In]] are both [[Death Trap
* [[The Ace]] and [[Parody Sue]] are closely related concepts with different intentions and execution. Both are (usually) played for comedy, but while the former is an idealized character who's over-the-top nature is played for laughs, the latter is a [[Take That]] against a fandom in general.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] and [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]]. Both are girls who have no nudity taboo. But one is aware of the existence of nudity taboos, and the other isn't.
