I usually prefer to edit character pages and recap pages over a work's main page. I dislike natter, but I know other people like it and it is a niche our wiki fills, and you can't please everyone. I shall respect wiki policy on natter. I also dislike italicized quotes, which thankfully aren't part of the standard protocol on this website. This is because if someone that wants to quote something that has italics in it, they then have to un-italicize what was originally italicized and italicize everything else, which I think looks stupid. I have a preference for the [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement]] guideline over [[No Real Life Examples, Please]] restriction. I suspect I am somewhat strict on what counts as a sub-trope (I think straight cases of a sub-trope ''must always be'' cases of a straight super-trope). I also dislike sinkholes.
 
I really don't care about some things in english like the difference between "who" and "whom". I am willing to use some unconventional characters, including on this wiki. For example, I might use an interrobang"‽" or I might use a wave dash"〜" which doesn't really mean anything in english, but I'm using it as loan punctuation from japan. I might also use a tildatilde instead of a wave dash when I forget they are distinct characters, or if I'm being lazy since I only know how to use a proper wave dash via copy paste. Occasionally I'll use proper Ellipsis "…", but generally I'll just use 3 periods. Although considering that an Ellipsis is on my page, I might start using it more.

== Trope Ideas ==
Line 35 ⟶ 85:
* Explicit Combo (needs better name, Some game mechanics work well together because of simple synergy. These mechanics directly interact with each other in a way that they don't interact with other mechanics, and not just due to one mechanic being unique. For example, in [[Pokemon]], defense curl http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Defense_Curl_(move) doubles the power of roll out. In [[Magic the Gathering]], festering newt http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370772 gives -4/-4 when to am opponent's creature when it dies instead of -1/-1 if bogbrew witch is out.)
* I Didn't Learn Anything!
* Idiosyncratic sleep heaviness (Someone or something wakes up from a quiet noise after hearing a louder noise).
* God’s a Buddhist (god is real, and follows a different religion)
* Giving the Criminal His Gun Back (A criminal has finished his time in prison, he goes to a window to get his things back, and among the things he is given back is a/are: weapon(s), stolen items, and/or contraband)
Line 40 ⟶ 91:
* Just you wait, when X gets here, he's going to kill all of you (Help is on the way and its going to kick your ass) A shorter name would be nice.
{{quote|One day, one day... You'll all just be a bad memory. Mankind will show all of you. Mark my words the last one standing Will Be Us! Gorge while you can, you bastard. Just wait 'til Captain Levi...|''[[Attack on Titan]]'' (english dub)}}
* [[Redemption Equals Death|Killed equals Redemption/Death is Redemption]] (Being killed redeems someone, or this is at least the viewpoint of the killer (or attempted killer). Sometimes this death must be done in a certain way, such as fire (perhaps it burns away the sins). The trope does NOT require that the person that is going to be 'redeemed' consents to this. Sometimes this redemption might 'save' the victim's soul from eternal damnation. What's a few measly minutes on fire compared to that? Really the victim should really be thanking his savior.)
{{quote|BE SAVED, FILTHY AS THOU ART.|'''Inscription on all Basilisk artillery shells fired by Imperial Forces during the Amar secession'''}}
{{quote|Redeem them with sword and fire}}
Line 59 ⟶ 110:
* Please Stop Clapping, Okay Go Ahead and Clap (Someone urges a crowd of followers to stop clapping and cheering, and then changes his mind, probably after they stop)
* Puzzle for the fans.: Sometimes viewers are geniuses [[Exaggerated Trope|is taken a higher level]]. This isn’t a lone bonus some knowledgable person is likely to find out on his own. This is likely to be a community effort to decipher clues in the work.
* Shedding Regeneration: Healing by a healthy body coming out a damaged one. It was in the workshop a long time and it was deemed Too Rare to Trope after having only 4 fictional examples after a long time being there. I need more examples to overturn that ruling, maybe as little as 1 example is necessary since 5 is the required for launching. (I initially titled this something like 'butterfly regeneration')
* Singing Non-Verbal Notes
* [[Scatting|Singing Non-Verbal Notes]]
* Sold Out For a Gag Aesop
* The Short List:
{{quote|Attention, workers: we have completed our evaluation of the plant. We regret to announce the following layoffs, which I will read in alphabetical order:
• Simpson, Homer.
That is all.}}
* Stress Induced Laughter (laughter causes stress, often the laughter occurs when the participants are in no immediate danger, for example they laugh after they just escaped a bunch of mooks by making a rockslide a barrier to them)
* The Sky is the Limit (Literally! The sky only reaches up to a certain height, and you can't get higher than that. "Meanwhile, the Fenriswolf advances with its mouth gaping: its upper jaw reaches to the heavens and the lower one drops down to the earth. He would open it still wider, if only there were room.")
Line 83 ⟶ 131:
(by which I mean they are in the trope workshop.) (hopefully some this will turn into a tropes added to the wiki list)
* Visible Pilot, Invisible Vehicle.
* Different Lies To Find The Spy
*[[Trope Workshop:Tongue Suicide]]
