Thoughtquote:This troper is slightly ADHD and his train of thought is often derailed, but mostly he uses it when he realizes that his train of thought is so offensive or esoteric that he can't explain it to his friends, because it's better to be a spaz than so disassociated from the world around that you aren't human, amirite? Character quote:The character designs of this troper tend to incorporate goth elements (especially black and white stripes, black tights, and combat boots with frilly skirts, the last of which was directly ripped off from River Tam), bare feet, oddly-colored hair, various degrees of androgyny, Boat Lights, and miscellaneous harmless physical oddities such as having six fingers or being albino, although usually no more than two or three of those at once. Both sexes default to being fairly thin, but there's an abundance of skinny boys in particular. Left-handedness and being short are also common. Also, all her characters wear Converse hightops except in cases when it wouldn't make any sense for the character type, unless they wear combat boots or occasionally Doc Martens. Personality-wise there's more variety, but a disproportionate number are rather shy and reclusive, and psychological disturbances crop up fairly often; she has a fair few woobies, but there's the occasional Yandere, Ophelia, or full-blown Ax Crazy as well. (Despite her love for Looks Like Cesare, so far she only has one character to whom it applies.) Additionally, there's a disproportionate number of child prodigies; they're pretty low-key compared to the typical Teen Genius in fiction, usually 11 or 12 and in the later two years of high school (although there was one 14-year-old junior, due to an age limit set by the GM), with the females of this contingent semi-frequently doubling as the Token Loli. Also also, a statistically significant number of her characters are commonly known by their middle name in Embarrassing First Name fashion, although usually the only thing wrong with their first name is that they don't like it as much or it doesn't suit them as well. However, none of this is sexual, just stuff that strikes her as cool, appeals to her aesthetically, or must have some sort of subconscious attraction based on how often it appears in otherwise unrelated characters. Author quote:This troper has a friend (no, really!) who feels some pathological need to sneak a Bound And Gagged scene into every story. It seems that it's a sexual thing when it happens to the females, but it sometimes happens to a dude in order to avoid looking sexist or something. I'm really not sure and I don't ask too many questions. On the other hand, my own stuff (when I still hadn't realized what a terrible, horrible writer I am) tended to feature an overabundance of Deadpan Snarker characters and a tendency to use normal names for Meaningful Name purposes (a guy named Mike was a chatty Toblerone who sought attention, for instance).

Brotherquote:This troper mentioned on Troper Tales already about his androgynous, theater-acting brother. This troper already has a girlfriend, but attraction to his brother still happens a lot, and the brother is a tease. We still share the same room and this troper's at the end of his ropes and is feeling really dirty now... That and very aroused. Yaoi quote:This troper has been mistaken for one of a legitimate pair of Yaoi Guys while attending a local anime convention with a casual friend. The thing is, what I was doing barely counted as crossplaying. (School shirt, which is a blouse, jeans that show off my lack of butt, and a cell phone stored in an interesting place.) I'm not terribly flat-chested, and I'm not even terribly attractive, let alone masculine-looking OR bifauxnen. It left me with permanent mental scarring and two lifelong friends— the huge, tough, pierced and tattooed bisexual I was con-going with and one of the girls I Bridget-dropped. Guy quote:This troper's eight year old sister recently got a boy cut. She then started at a new school one month later, and had to constantly remind people that she was a girl. One of this troper's parent's friends said, "Aww, she'd look like such a middle school guy, if she was taller." to which this troper (a middle school girl) promtly replied, "A hot middle school guy." Guy II quote:Years ago myself, my brother and a male mutual friend attended our very first anime convention where we spotted someone cosplaying as Mai Shiranui from the video game King of Fighters. This person, despite being flat as a board, actually did a very good job...So good in fact, my brother and our friend had a nice long conversation about the various things they would do to this person in bed, to put it politely. We eventually became separated and I decided to get on line for the dealer's room. Shortly thereafter, the Mai cosplayer and her gaggle of girlfriends got on line behind me. While eavesdropping on their conversation, I couldn't help but notice that one of the voices was a bit...off. I turned around discreetly in an attempt to find which of the females standing behind me had such a masculine-sounding voice. Not only was that voice coming from Mai, but I also noticed for the first time the small-but-definitely-there adam's apple. My God, the look on my male cohort's faces when I told them of my discovery...absolutely priceless. We would actually run into "her" quite a lot at other conventions, and she always crossplays. I got into a conversation with her once. Her name is Brie ("like the cheese!") and she's really, really sweet. (and as an easter basket, by the way.) So next time your ogling some cute cosplayer at a con and she turns out to have something a little "extra", don't say I didn't warn you.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:I was looking for one of these to do a dramatic reading of but after this I think I'll just sit quietly and hope for an errant piece of space debris to streak down to Earth and knock that troper into a puddle of stagnant water Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he’s a major loving hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them. “Hey Ebony!” shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…. Draco Malfoy! “What’s up Draco?” I asked. “Nothing.” he said shyly.
