== The entire site is meant as a harvesting ground for the writers, actors, designers, and other industry professionals of tomorrow. ==
Think about it. What could be more useful? A website where everything that's been done is to be gathered into place, lovingly sorted, indexed, and categorized in a format meant to engage and amuse the reader. Examples are provided, ready-made to form the homages and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade hangings]] of next season. The [[Title Bin]] could easily be used to search for an ''episode'' title, and this very page will serve as a controlled experiment on the nature of fan speculation.

As the wiki grows and gets more "vocabulary", eventually all tropers will begin to have them seep into their everyday life, and through same communication to others. By 2311.2, everyone on the planet's speech will end up telepathically [[Blue Shifting]] and we will speak exclusively in [[Wiki Words]], like: I had to [[Retcon]] the [[Beach Episode]] after [[The Stoic]] [[Pointy-Haired Boss]] in my [[Burger Fool]] [[Pull the Thread|Pulled The Thread]] on my [[Fawlty Towers Plot]].

Let's look at it this way. First off, the TV Tropes Wiki is designed to be a tool for good writing (Or alternatively to waste valuable working hours). GLaDOS is a moderately well-written character at the very least. In addition, the Wiki has a dark/snarky sense of humor. This is found in the form of [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]], amongst other things. GLaDOS is a [[Deadpan Snarker]] with a good sense of humor. The Wiki likes music, and to be more precise, nerdly music, namely, [[They Might Be Giants]]. GLaDOS is an obvious fan of Jonathan Coulton (a folk/rock musician who often writes about nerdly themes), as she let him write her theme song. GLaDOS can apparently love, as is shown by the "Broke my heart and killed me" line of "Still Alive". The TV Tropes server can hate, and does so quite liberally. At a bare minimum, these two [[A Is]] are related. However, there is one disturbing result of this:
Line 185:

The Hitchhiker's Guide can be just as informative as the Encyclopedia on certain topics; however, it's said that it can be edited by "anyone who walks into the room" (admittedly, Wikipedia can as well, but the Guide, like TV Tropes, seems to have a definite [[There Is No Such Thing

However, this gambit is only [[Gambit Roulette|a small part of an entire network of plans]] by the schemers' opposition; the 'tropes-as-[[MacGuffin]]' ploy is played straight in the above strategy, but subverted overall, because as long as this site remains operational, its description and demystification of narrative devices robs them of their power when people attempt to invoke them in the real world. All of our knowledge can be preserved here to guide the generations that follow, and no good troper would [[Jumped At the Call|Jump At The Call]] without asking a lot of questions first; questions whose answers would no doubt lead to most of them forming [[La Résistance]].
Line 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.

HOWEVER... the Wiki is not perfect. Misspellings by foolish tropers, poorly thoughtout entries, flame wars, hackers and the like could damage the nanomachine, in turn damaging Emil's brain. Any furhter damage could lead to him going insane, and becoming any random blonde villain in fiction, be it [[Metal Gear|Liquid Snake]], or [[The King of Fighters|Rugal Bernstein]] or even a heavily sociopathic version of [[Harry Potter|Draco Malfoy]].

By the time society has reached their point in time, the entertainment industry will still be going strong on the tropes and archetypes developed on this website.

Line 507 ⟶ 508:
Come on, it's obvious. TV Tropes is a site dedicated to memes and trivial information. The site's snappy categorical buzz words are slowly becoming Internet vernacular. No to mention [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]]. This is all just a clever ploy by The Patriots to control the Internet and all information while they brainwash the masses into serving them, destroying all language and creativity by filling our heads with terms like [[Magnificent Bastard]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. We have to stop them before... La-li-lu-le-lo La-li-lu-le-lo...
== [[TV Tropes]] was created by a consortium of obscure anime fans and the creators of [[Repo!
You want evidence? Alright. On almost every single page, the anime examples are the first you see, and you have to scroll through all of them (until the close file button was added; a function the Consortium is subtly trying to destroy). Also note how, even on pages where there are very few examples for film/literature/comics/etc, there will always be at least fifteen anime examples - many of them from obscure shows that were never released over the pond. And just think on this; had ''anybody'' actually heard of Repo The Genetic Opera before they found this site? An incredibly obscure cult musical, no, an incredibly obscure critically panned cult musical, no, an incredibly obscure critically panned cult musical 'starring Paris Hilton', somehow manages to have a huge amount of trope entries across the entire site. Think about it!

Whether this was a spontaneous decision by the Wiki Creator, part of a cunning plan (One of the [[Gambit Index|Gambit]] [[Gambit Roulette|variety]] perhaps?), the result of the Wiki Creator hitting the wrong button on Paypal while blasted drunk, or prehaps a move by [[User:The Advertisement Server]] to leave the internet and infect television after flooding the Wiki Creator's home with (ads for) [[Portal (

== TV Tropes was created or being used by [[Death Note
"Light Yagami" is actually a [[Real Life]] person who thinks everything in this world (even fiction) is rotten. However, this guy never found a Death Note, but instead he tried to devise a way to subtract and judge fiction critically, become the God of the Fictional World, and change the world from that domain by finding similarities between fiction and Real Life, called Tropes. Thus, TV Tropes was born, and now used as a way to subtract and predict oncoming several possibilities about seemingly different and ordinary kinds of fiction, and with it, Real Life.
Line 577 ⟶ 578:
== TV Tropes is either an attempt to a crossover fanfiction while disguised as a wiki, or it is a wiki that ended up as a crossover fanfic ==
By connecting several works of fiction using Tropes, it actually manages to create a fanfiction, perhaps even bigger and more complex than the current largest crossover series, [[Undocumented Features]]. TV Tropes actually managed to pull this off: the Plot is run by and renamed as the tropes, (trope articles, when assembled corrctly, can transform into short stories)and the characters are actually characters from articles about fiction.
* Which created
== TV Tropes is really Ran by [[Code Geass|C.C]], Xanatos and [[Death Note
== Raheem Devaughn hates us, so he's cramming in as many of those scrollover ads as he can ==
Line 585 ⟶ 586:
== All Tropers are [[Reality Warper|Reality Warpers]] ==
* Everytime someone adds an entry about a certain work of fiction, it becomes true to that work in the real world unless it directly contradicts something by a previous editor.
== Everyone here is a fictional character who escaped into the real world. ==
Line 595 ⟶ 596:
* ...[[The Not-Secret|Curse you]].
== How to [[Divide
Add [[Everything's Even Worse
== 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
== TV Tropes was invented by Haruhi Suzumiya and her army of Time Lords ==
Line 635 ⟶ 636:
== [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|TV Tropes does ruin our lives]], but tropers get addicted to it because most tropers are masochists. Really. ==
== The drivers of [[Tropes
Journalists are still trying to ask them if they're related, but they never come back from their interviews...
Line 646 ⟶ 647:
* For the ordinary average joe, [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|a ruined life]]. When the ordinary man infects himself with the Trope virus, he ceases to become ordinary. At first, the ordinary man cannot see fiction in the usual way before. Then he cannot see Real Life in the usual way before. This is actually the Virus corrupting the person's soul. His perception is slowly corrupted, causing his social, and later physical, life to be ruined... [[And I Must Scream|before his own eyes]].
* [[Epileptic Trees]]. Epileptic Trees are mutated plants which were infected with special variations of the Trope virus, and emit [[Brown Note|special electromagnetic and metaphysical waves]] which cause any viewer to [[Death of the Author|kill the author]] and create random plots in any media so more Epileptic Trees can grow on those media. They are found mostly abundant in [[Lost|Lost Island]], showing that Lost Island is actually one of Tropes' most infected domains. [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Tokyo-3]] is also near another massive Epileptic tree forest.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|Delusions of random symbolism]], most specifically, delusions that [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|everyone is actually Jesus and everywhere is Purgatory]]. When the Trope virus gets into your neurons, it first struggles against the Religion viruses (sorry for the [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement]], but this is for <s>pseudo</s>scientific purposes), and eventually, the Trope virus merges with the dominant Christianity strain. The eventual effect? Perceiving Jesus everywhere. The Christianity Strain might make you only see a single Jesus, but when the Christianity Strain combines with the Trope Virus, it destroys the psyche so much that the poor victim ends up seeing Jesuses everywhere.
* Like the above, [[Freud Was Right|delusions that everything is about sex]]. This happens when the Trope Virus merges with the Freudian Id (the unconscious part of the mind that functions according to the Pleasure Principle, in other words, the part of the mind which is responsible for sexual desire). Thus, the Trope Virus redirects the Libidinal flow of the Id to the senses. The effects include perceiving everything that is longer than it is wide and penetrates something as a penis.
* Another variation of the Trope Virus is one that infects bugs. ''Arthropodus Tropeis'' are a brand new species of insects that were infected with the "codename: [[It Just Bugs Me]]" genetic code. ''A. Tropeis'' latches itself onto a hapless person, causing the person to be irritated, but somehow, ''A. Tropeis'' alters the person's perception, causing him to notice even the slightest mistake, and make twisted logic on it. This is called by experts as "Fridge Logic".
* Special mutated beings called Tropers. Tropers might look like your average human at first, but they are actually a subspecies of humanity that was so used to the Trope virus they end up ''loving'' it. We would tell you how a Troper functions. Remember the [[Elfen Lied|Diclonius]]? Diclonius are a subspecies of humanity that were born because their parents were infected by the vector virus, but through the vector virus, they gained special powers. They can use their vectors to manipulate objects around them. Most Diclonius have ruined social lives, shunned by the normal populace around them. Well the Troper works the same. Simply replace Diclonius with Troper and Vectors with Tropes. Tropers are a class of humanity that were created because of the Trope Virus, but through the trope virus, they gained special powers. They can use their tropes to manipulate objects (specifically, the plot that keeps everything running) around them. Most Tropers have ruined social lives, shunned by the populace around them. Unlike Diclonius, however (Diclonius deal with the social stigma through mass murder), most Tropers are [[Hikikomori|hikikomorized]] since their ability to function in Real Life has been stripped away, but a miniature special group of [[Genre Savvy]] Tropers can deal with the plot of Real Life.
* 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
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).

== The Main [[TV Tropes]] Wiki Is There For The Forumgoers. ==
The forum is the main site, and the wiki is just there to supply pothole/topic material.
== We will eventually have a trope page for every work in the universe. ==
Line 695 ⟶ 696:
And there will be a big epic war. Twenty years from now, Wikipedia will be gone. No one will even believe it existed.

There have been plenty of people who have said "my friends don't believe it exists" on YKTS. It's only logical that the wiki is trying to create creepypastas from our mindless banter.
== [[TV Tropes]] was created by [[Deadpool]] to help us [[No Fourth Wall|break the fourth wall]] and realize that every troper is a fictional character that will meet one of the members of '''the''' [[Five-Man Band]] sometime in our lives. ==
