Sham bam bamina! posted:From what I can remember, it's that Nightmare Fuel was the article for accidentally scary things and Unleaded was for deliberately scary things, and then they changed Unleaded to High Octane because someone finally figured out what "unleaded" actually means. Why, what did they think it meant? What could it possibly mean other than "does not contained added lead compounds"? Are you saying they just thought it was synonymous with High Octane? Do they even know what and octane rating is? My guess is going to be no.

I just find it weird how sheltered people can be. I don't own a car, I don't drive a car, I don't really like cars at all. I still know some basic stuff just from osmosis from the people around me and society in general. You'd think tropers had been living in some walled off tower for their entire lives with the things they don't understand. E: also, from earlier in the thread, having to do with the ! you see everywhere in fan communities AlbieQuirky posted:The explanation I got from the print fanzine days of the 1990s is that it's factorial !, because some Kirk/Spock slasher who was doodling hearts instead of paying attention in math class thought that you could parse "Hitler Wins!Brady Bunch" as "Hitler having won World War II is a factor in this story about the Brady Bunch." MATH!

Isn't that just basically a tangent of fedora fetishism? You know, trying to speak like some sort of film noir detective. Although honestly considering the word salad that TvTropes is most of the time, I wouldn't be surprised if it was referring to something completely unrelated.

This is nothing new, but Jesus H. Christ would they stop emphasizing everything in their articles with italics. I like the SCP Foundation, for instance. Sure it's nerdy but I like it, so I decided to take a peekaboo at their page for it, and these loving italics, man. Emphasis definitely not mine. quote:Alien Geometries: Why? These are far from being the only examples. Almost every trope on the page has at least one word in italics.

This troperrecently (A few weeks ago) got into a....little fight with his longtime nemesis, last day of (high)school, he may not be coming(droping out, my nemesis, not me) back, revenge bluh bluh merger childish things. He decides to come at me with a meter stick with a rather intimidating war cry. I merely tilt my head ever so slightly and plunk, it hits the wall behind my head, visibly dumbfounded he then attempts to slash me. Big mistake, my headphones got unplugged from my Ipod touch, and my favorite song was just beginning. Nightwish's song [[CrowningMusic/Template:Nightwish she is my sin]] and so begins my epic battle, he keeps slashing and lunging at me all while I dodge his blows and strokes. He attempts another headshot but I deftly grabbed it from him, he fell face first onto the floor, then I said one of my favorite BadassBoast badass boasts almost immediately afterword FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren "On your knees...I want you to beg for forgiveness." my class's resident Video game gerd (Her own word she made, a combination of geek and nerd, she calls herself this all the time) said almost YELLING "Holy poo poo dude! That was awesome!" unfortunately his Girlfriend didnt think so, and tossed him the other meter stick and said "Kick that little snot into next year!"(Even though im taller then him he's like 5'4 im 5'7) and we exchanged blows which was eerily similar to aboved mentioned Final Fantasy movie, I then disarmed him and then said, "I hold no ill will, nor is this a personal matter, but thanks for the workout non-the less." He simply bowed his head in shame, his girlfriend having pure spasms of RAGE, chiding him that he couldn't beat a video game playing ultimate geek face(highly immature for a 16 year old girl I know), but I couldn't here them over the applause I was getting from the other geeks and my fellow peers, my teacher ( a substitute) woke up from her nap and simply said "what did I miss?" we all (except for my nemesis and his GF) begun laughing uncontrollably for a few minutes. I deadpanned afterwords "Nothing at all ma'am, just having some fun, listening to music, drawing, epic one sided battles..." She shrugged and went back to sleep.

Sham bam bamina! posted:There's actually a "Tropers" category just for that, but he's done it (and I don't think that there's any question of that) under "Main" for some reason, which I'm pretty sure even Tropers don't approve. Maybe he's just trying to push himself as a notable (by TV Tropes standards), uh, author, but you'd think that he'd put it under "Creators" if that had been the point. Wasn't TVTropes actually fine with Troper made fanfiction being on the main wiki until this thread found the pages for Attack on Dryerball? It was something that fell under their "no notability!" thing.

Razorwired posted:Wasn't TVTropes actually fine with Troper made fanfiction being on the main wiki until this thread found the pages for Attack on Dryerball? It was something that fell under their "no notability!" thing. They're still fine with it, they just stopped being fine with Endless Bullshit when we pointed out that it hadn't actually been written. Here's a troper work that does meet their standards for pageworthiness: Bionicle Manga posted:Bionicle Manga is a Fan Web Comic / Manga based off of the ever so popular BIONICLE franchise. Created by Troper/Deviant Artist pickle962, BM is a Shot for Shot Remake of the Bionicle storyline in manga style. The series can be viewed both here and here. Bionicle was a series of LEGO toys. The page image is just a "no hotlinking" message, and one of the links provided was broken. The other was to this hideous forum post: quote:Hello citizens of BZP. I'm pickle962 or P962 for short. I've been a fan of bionicle for most of my life and in early 2009 started making a manga based off the early years of bionicle simply called Bionicle Manga. For my birthday this year, I got Manga studio and have been busy "remixing" the pages of BM and uploading them to my DA account afterwards.(As well as my Brickshelf account) I'd like to hear what y'all think of BM, so don't be afraid to state your opinion on my fan made doujinshi At last, the comic!    Don't be too discouraged by the start, though: TvTropes posted:Art Evolution:Obviously. Early on, the artwork is laughable at best, but like any other series BM's art style has changed alot in the almost three years it has existed. Okay, they're right, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover and first few chapters. Let's skip ahead to the most recent pages to see how much the comic has improved!      I'm pretty sure he didn't even scan the drawings, and just photographed them with a cell phone camera instead. And yet somehow that's the least of his problems.

Of course, all standard forum rules still apply in addition to the rules here in this part of the forums, so no vulgar language, rudeness, etc. Also, one more thing. Like I said earlier, I started BM in early 2009 and my art style has changed alot since then. Plus, It took me days to grasp the basics of Manga Studio, so I just thought I'd go ahead and give y'all a heads up. Well I'll be darn...Looks like I finally have a page for BM on BZPower Comics Wikia...

That said, he is producing a (stupid, derivative) product, and his skills are improving (if from "laughable" to "slightly less laughable"), so I have more sympathy for him than for the average Troper, especially since hopefully he's 14 and still has time to grow out of it. Of course, now I expect it to turn out that the dude's 37, because even a shred of optimism is too much.

Tropers just don't understand how to pull of hyperbole. They attach it to every possible thing because they have no way of judging whether or not it's appropriate or effective, then they look at it and say "Yeah, it's witty". Like troping, they approach it by just describing things with a pile of superlatives and pointless words. It's one of my pet peeves, because I love seeing hyperbole done well.

Oh man, and their export didn't preserve referential integrity, so the canonical TVTropes experience (clicking on a link, then clicking another link, then having ten thousand browser tabs open) just falls flat. Only pages SINCE the fork have any links at all. What a terrible implementation of a great idea (stop using TVTropes).
