__NOTOC__
== The entire site is meant as a harvesting ground for the writers, actors, designers, and other industry professionals of tomorrow. ==
Line 27:
* This troper is working on a novel. If it ever gets published, he intends to upload a completed entry at midnight the night the book is released.
* In that case, This troper wants his free job as a game designer so he can subvert/lampshade.
* [[This Troper]] is an aspiring director/producer who just loves [[:Category:Meta Concepts|meta]].
* Aspiring novelist/short story writer who aims to one day actually finish a work. (Not fully true, I did once write an awful play right to the end.)
* Subversion: [[This Troper]] writes for fun. If his book is published, kudos, but that isn't his profession.
* This troper admits it as well. He plans to become a video game designer and [[Trope|tropes]] will be put in subtly.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* Another, even stronger subversion: I cannot write creative fiction at ''all.'' I just really like reading and analyzing it. (I have no problems writing when characters and plot aren't involved and have in fact been recognized for essays, but the creative spark just eludes me).
* This troper also would like to write for TV, plays, novels or whatever. Or be a physics professor. Also, he can't wait until his shows get [[Wild Mass Guessing|WMG]]'d.
* Well, duh. [[Dream|Haven't you seen me promoting my work of fiction?]] [[Shameless Self Promoter|Because you should
* Troper here might be guilty, too, if not too lazy to do anything. [[Shameless Self Promoter|You know, some otaku senshi fictions in DA need reading]].
* Well, duh. Didn't you get the memo ?
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
== The entire Wiki has been infiltrated by aliens ==
(obviously led by this troper; even his name [[Spock Speak|gives him away]]; human chemists generally use the term [http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/Ds/key.html darmstadtium]) who are using it to manipulate Earth pop culture so that we'll finally produce [[Aliens Steal Cable|something worth watching]] (basically the first theory, but with aliens). This troper was originally a [[The Men in Black|Men in Black]] Agent sent to to stop them, but got addicted to the Wiki and quit the service so he could devote his time to correcting misused ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Avatar]]'' examples. So far they've found no one to replace him because he was the best agent they ever had, dammit. This troper is actually this troper's replacement undercover. Apparently, he's not all that good at it. [[Sarcastic Confession|The Affable Paranoiac was sent to investigate when this troper also disappeared mysteriously.]]

* Of course we are aliens, MIB itself said that every clever/intelligent/famous person might be an alien in disguise! (Even though I ''do'' believe in Michael Jackson's part...)
Line 105 ⟶ 104:
** And which also means that the World Creation Project will eventually grow to include aliens, time travellers, and espers. And Kyon... who is [[Haruhi Suzumiya|also the Doctor]].
** The Great Server Crash of '08 was actually caused by the Wiki practicing its powers. How do we know? The [[Erased From Existence]] YKTTW had the most replies at the time- an act of unconscious voting by the hive mind on a course of action.
*** Alternatively
**** Bloody time travelers, always thinking they know what's best. That's what it was. They tried to prevent some horrible alternate future caused by the Tropes Wiki. And what did we do? We rebuilt the *** thing. Oh dear god, we've doomed the earth.
***** "Doomed?" Why? That sounds ''awesome!'' I could finally pursue my secret dream of becoming an exciting vigilante superhero.

== Alternatively, the latest hacking incident was a side effect of the activation of the Large Hadron Collider. ==
Both events took place roughly at the same time. Coincidence? [[Government Conspiracy|I think not!]]
* Coincidentally, LHC created Sailor Trope.

== This Troper is the [[Big Bad]] ==
Line 422 ⟶ 421:
== TV Tropes has become a god and is creating a paradise for all of its followers. ==
It started as an ordinary wiki, [[Gods Need Prayer Badly|but as more and more people poured their time and energy into it, it attained godhood.]] It has since been gathering power by attracting new followers and gathering information so that it could create the perfect world for the tropers. [[It Just Bugs Me]] was created in an attempt to prevent plot holes in this tropers' heaven and [[Wild Mass Guessing]] is used for it to get new ideas from the tropers themselves. [[Troper Tales]] and the [[Sugar Wiki]] are yet another facet of information gathering, the former for gathering information about the tropers' lives and the latter about their likes. [[Fan Fic Recommendations]] exists to allow it to examine the tropes in action rather than just as listed examples. The [[Darth Wiki]] is an attempt by TV Tropes Wiki to purge itself of evil and negative energy, allowing it to become a being of pure goodness. Then it will only be a matter of gathering up that last little bit of energy to rapture all tropers through their computer screens. The Great Crash was caused by the last attempt at such a rapture which failed spectacularly because TV Tropes Wiki wasn't completely ready yet.
* TV Tropes: [[Warhammer
== TV Tropes acts as an aggregator for the minds of the tropers, forming a kind of hive mind. Eventually, with enough tropership, it will gain sentience. ==
Line 461 ⟶ 460:

* Quit [[
== All the Evangelion / Time Lord / Haruhi Suzumiya theories are part of an ongoing [[Gambit Roulette]] concocted by Zorgazzo the Hedonist of Pancakes. ==

==
Don't tell me you didn't see this coming.
* No. But I'm not that Young or a Nerds, so I'm safe.
* I'm a nerd. Does the fact that I'm almost 20 complicate things?
* The chance that this might be true is one reason (not the only one) why we aren't keeping that page on All The Tropes.
== TV Tropes is an attempt to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] by [[Time Travel|refugees]] from a [[Dystopia|dystopian future]] where the overuse of cliches has caused a collapse of the entire entertainment industry. ==
Line 502:
Think abut it. [[TV Tropes]] covers all the minor info, and Wikipedia the major info. [[TV Tropes]] was created so Wikipedia could appear fancy and have a place to dump minor info. eventually, the two might merge into one gigantic knowledgebase.
* '''BLASPHEMY!''' '''MADNESS!!'''
* ''[[Warhammer
* Actually, it's going to eventually be forcibly taken over by Wikipedia. In that way, Wikipedia will have most of the world's knowledge, and since Knowledge Is Power, it's part of Jimbo Wales' plan for omnipotence. OUR ONLY HOPE IS TO RESIST TAKEOVER!
Line 530:
* You mean a Scooty-Puff Sr. The Scooty-Puff Jr. sucks.
== Some of those [[Entry Pimp
As has been observed above, there have been an awful lot of posts for [[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]. For that matter, how did some of these lame webcomics get pages in the first place? Thanks to [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability]], [[Gushing About Shows You Like]], and a habit of creating pages for video games before they're even out, this could become a serious problem if it isn't one already.
Line 599:
Add [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|sharks]] to [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|anything]]. Then add [[Everything's Worse with Bears|bears]]. [[Everything's Worse with Bears|Worse]] than [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|even worse]] equals- [[Memetic Mutation|Oh Shi-]]
== TV Tropes actually possesses a private military force: [[The Knights Templar|The Knights]] [[
Hey, [[Knight Templar|we have a trope for this]], so why not? For the full picture, imagine [[Warhammer
* And their leader is a [[Magnificent Bastard]] whose wars are always won, [[Death Note|Exactly as Planned]]. Truly a formidable force.
Line 653:
* The most obvious symptom that marks terminal Trope infection: [[No Fourth Wall]]. A Fourth Wall is what keeps reality and fiction apart. We would tell you how the Fourth Wall functions. Remember the [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|AT Field]]? An AT Field is what keeps humans apart. Destroying the AT Field will result in a [[Mind Screw]] called [[Instrumentality]], where all humans are merged together in an archetypal existence. A similar effect will happen if the Fourth Wall is finally destroyed, causing all continuities to merge into one single [[Mega Crossover]]. Why does the Tropes carry this risk? Answer: Tropes know no boundaries. They treat Real Life as just another domain bounded by [[Narrative Causality]] for them to subject into mimesis, and thus infect. Unlike Wikipedia (which is still bounded by deletions) and more like [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Spiral Power]], Tropes will simply expand to incorporate all media and break any walls in the way. Still not convinced? See [[Real Life|This page]] for evidence.
* So, [[The Virus]] Tropes? Holy shit. Even the name matches.
* Other symptoms: Tabbed Browsing, [[Perverse Sexual Lust|love for fictional characters]], [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]], [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastardry]], [[Nietzsche Wannabe|nihilism]], immorality, [[Complete Monster|complete immorality]], [[Black and Gray Morality]], [[Blue and Orange Morality]], overuse of "[[Xanatos Gambit|Xanatos Gambits]]", overuse of "[[Xanatos Gambit|Xanatos Gambits]]" even though he isn't [[Gargoyles|Xanatos]], overuse of "[[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]]" even though he is a total flop in chess, [[Nay Theist|hating God]], [[Rule of Cool|believing in the "Awesome"]], [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|believing in the "Awesome" even though it isn't Awesome in normal standards]], [[Genre Savvy|genre savviness]], [[Genre Blind|genre blindness]], contractual genre blindness, using dangerous substances called "[[Applied Phlebotinum]]", turning into a [[Large Ham]], [[Break the Cutie|breaking cute characters (and sometimes ending up being the one broken)]], [[All Psychology Is Freudian|believing that all psychology was invented by Sigmund Freud]], [[Freud Was Right|believing in Sigmund Freud to the point of seeing phallic imagery everywhere]], [[Freudian Excuse|believing in Sigmund Freud to the point of explaining how one became evil]], worshipping [[Time Lord/WMG|Time Lords]], worshipping [[Haruhi Suzumiya]], worshipping both Haruhi Suzumiya and the Time Lords, worshipping Time Lords and Haruhi Suzumiya along with [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji Ikari]] and the entire setting of [[Warhammer
The Trope Virus is considered by many to be an incurable and highly-contagious disease, to the extent that only a full [[Warhammer
* This one guess? [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|This one is true]]. Although TV Tropes and other metaphysical viruses are better known as memes (not the [[Memetic Mutation]] ones, but the concept [[Richard Dawkins]] originally created to describe how mimetic pieces of culture and religion are spread).
