TV Tropes

Postby Nightkill the Emperor » Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:35 pm

It will ruin your life.

So, how many of you mates are tropers? I'm quite a huge TV Troper myself, having started a TV Tropes page for one of my rps.

So, do you go on that site, and if you do, what tropes fit you?

For me

Bollywood Nerd
Bi The Way
Asians and Nerdy
Badass Bookworm: I am a taekwondo black belt. Only first-degree right now, but it fits.
Everything is Racist: Not really, I just like making jokes about it.
Celebrity Resemblance- According to my friends (even over the Internet, with people I've never met and who don't know anything about what I look like), I look like Raj from the Big Bang Theory. I have never seen this show.
Lovable Nerd
Adorkable
Nerds are Sexy: You all want me.
Memetic Sex God/Memetic Molester: On the Elfen High OOC.
Token Minority
Funny Foreigner
Hi! I'm Khan, your local misanthropic Indian.
I wear teal, blue & pink for Swith.
P2TM RP Discussion Thread
If you want a good rp, read this shit.
Tiami is cool.
Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

It tab explodes faster than Wikipedia and horny rabbits.

I go on TVTropes fairly regularly, but I think I've edited it all of... twice.

Affably Evil. I'm just a nice guy who wants to take over the world via violence, really.
Bi The Way. You really can't tell, like most people, unless I tell you.
Silent Bob. Somehow, people have great conversations with me without my knowledge >_>
The Snark Knight. The world sucks, and I suck to.
Perky Goth. This said, I'm not all that depressing about it.
Ambiguous Gender. This has happened before. A lot. People are always asking me if I am a man or a woman, usually men asking. When I was... Er... Larger, I apparently looked like a large breasted man or a tiny breasted woman.

I visit the site pretty regularly. I vary between clicking random page and going through an index. As it happens I'm going through the Meta Concepts index now, and coincidentally just read the NS entry(I see now where all Nightkill's mentions there come from :p ), getting there from Metagame.

I've thought of a few describing me:

Intelligence Equals Isolation: I am anti-social and rarely venture out of my house, let alone away from it
Everything is Better with Dinosaurs: I am so damn obsessed with Dinosaurs unsurprisingly
Chivalrous Pervert: What I would be if I ever started dating
Butt Monkey: My mom sure loves teasing me a lot

I'll think of some more later.
