Former-ish troper[[hottip:*:"ish" as in "you'll still see me doing some minor edits from time to time if I '''''REALLY''''' have to"]] who [[Fr/ToutLeMondeEstJesusAuPurgatoire translated one page]], edited stuff, got bored and left(-ish). Bleh.

Troper, gamer and [[http://lioyd-irving.deviantart.com Deviant.]] Translated [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory that Jesus thing]] to [[Fr/ToutLeMondeEstJesusAuPurgatoire French]]. That aside, I mostly do minor edits here and there. Bleh.

As a testament of my laziness, I'll give you my birthdate -- December 31, 1992[[hottip:*:no, really]] -- so I don't have to update this page. (Do the math yourself.)

There are some tropes I have tales about which I didn't mention here; look at the "related to" link on the top of the page if you wish to check them out.

[[WMG:I feel like forcing you through my life story, so here are select parts of it as a list of tropes:]]

* {{Tsundere}}/{{Kuudere}}: Avoidant personality disorder, to be exact.
** {{The Wonka}}/{{Cloud Cuckoolander}}: The ''dere'' side. I always were emotionally retarded. I still am; I hide it under a facade of nonchalance, cynicism and hostility (the ''tsun/kuu'' side), due to the following trope.
*** {{Break The Cutie}}/{{Jade Colored Glasses}}: Ten years straight of constant psychological bullying because KidsAreCruel and TeensAreMonsters ([[MostTropersAreYoungNerds like it's any surprising]]). This leads us to...
**** {{Jerkass Facade}}: A rude, abrasive prick is all I'll let you see from me. In fact, over the course of my life I'm quite sure said "no" over twice as much as I said "yes".
**** EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite the Jerkass being a mere facade, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk the real me is hardly a good person either]] -- indeed, I am paranoid, greedy, selfish, judgemental, power-hungry, bitter, vindictive, [[PerfectSolutionFallacy I only act on]] '''''[[PerfectSolutionFallacy absolute]]''''' [[PerfectSolutionFallacy certitudes]] and the extent of my paranoia is proof of how vicious I truly am. However, if there is one thing I utterly refuse to settle for, it is [[ForTheEvulz spite]]. If I am to get back at someone, it will be my bullies ''[[BullyHunter and]] [[LaserGuidedKarma nobody else]].''
** UsedToBeASweetKid: Averted. I was as cruel and selfish as any other kid, only I was [[WaterWorks hypersensitive]] and clinically retarded.
** ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. There ''are'', but none of them got anything right as I descended into paranoia. By the time we found a competent one, I was already too far off the deep end to accept any kind of help.
** MiseryBuildsCharacter: '''''[[AvertedTrope BULLSHIT.]]''''' Misery [[GoMadFromTheRevelation bred my paranoia]] and inability to properly function in society.
* ThisIsReality: In my family, showing any emotion even remotely resembling what may be seen in fiction, is grounds for being mercilessly ridiculed, up to and including any display of affection.
** AloofOlderBrother: [[IneffectualLoner And younger brother, and son, and grandson, and cousin, and nephew...]]
** SmugSnake: How I get back at ''my'' older brother, {{Jerkass}} extraordinaire who actually managed to spoil ''himself'' through [[BigBrotherBully physical strength and violence]].
*** DissonantSerenity: I ripped off my smug game from his own.
** TookALevelInJerkass: All interactions with my brother eventually devolve into a competition of who can be the bigger asshole. Grudges last long.
* PostRobberyTrauma: [[TroperTales/PostRobberyTrauma Check it out.]]
** ProperlyParanoid [[spoiler:'''Triply''' so now, what with [=FlameAdder=] being apparently mad enough to change ISP's just so he can vandalize this page...]]
* GrammarNazi: I do find myself mildly irritated by incorrect English, though I avoid speaking up lest I have to witness droves of people [[SeriousBusiness explain in detail how I obviously take myself too seriously and have no sense of humor and should go die]] [[SarcasmMode because the Internet is but a mere unprecedented technological revolution spanning the entire planet.]]
* SerialTweaker: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=Lioyd I pledge guilty.]]
* [[ArtifactTitle Artifact Name]]: My web handle has a long story. Back when I first registered to {{Gunz}}, my brother wouldn't stop playing TalesOfSymphonia and I hated it. Since all cool names were taken ([[OrIsIt or so I thought]]), I chose the name Lloyd_Irving out of exasperation and lack of ideas, trying to exploit the famous uppercase I/lowercase L confusion by writing it as Lioyd. It failed and the I came out lowercase, but I didn't mind. Fast-forward a few months; I was big into Gunz. So big in fact, I started using my Gunz handle for more and more sites and forums, including the [=ZDoom=] forums and YouTube (as [=Lioyd1rving=]). I've since left Gunz altogether and grown tired of the TOS references, so these days I drop the Irving part whenever I can.
* TheTeetotaler: Type C
* SelfDeprecation: A considerable part of my humor is built around how much of a loser I am.
** CannotTellAJoke: Admittedly, they would probably work better if my delivery wasn't [[TheUnfunny completely deadpan.]]
* PerpetualFrowner
** DeathGlare: I have wiped more than one smile off people's faces through sheer eye contact. [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Yay for me?]]
* TheQuietOne: If I can find '''''any''''' way to get my point across without speaking a word, you can bet your butt I'll be milking it for all its worth.
** SpeechImpediment: "Shut up and take it" was my modus operandi since early childhood. I never really got much practice; my speech is slurred, full of stuttering, and I sometimes can't even express thoughts with words. And I didn't even begin on the self-consciousness...
*** {{Talkative Loon}}/{{First Person Smartass}}: Inside my head, however, is a real mess of continuous, everchanging, [[SilentSnarker sometimes snarky]] thoughts.
**** TheSnarkKnight: Subverted; I fail miserably at it. My thoughts are not an InternalMonologue; I actually have to go through the conscious process of putting words on them until I find a perfect delivery, at which point the subject is no longer relevant.
* ADarkerMe: Inverted. The Internet is one of the few places where my closet idealist self can afford ''not'' to be a callous jerk; not only am I more likely to bring my two cents if I feel something is wrong, I go out of my way to oppose myself to the "get thick skin" crowd. It leads to a lot of adversity, to which I respond by even ''more'' paranoia than anywhere else.
* BerserkButton: If you have ever partaken in bullying of '''any''' kind at some point in your life, you have lost all possibility of me ever feeling compassion for you.
** In video games, {{Mooks}} that laugh at you when they hit you. I don't care if it's a canned animation or if I have to cheat; you mock '''me''', you '''''DIE.''''' [[hottip:*:[[CutenessProximity Unless you're]] [[SuperMarioBros a Boo.]]]]
* MommasBoy: Dear mom is the furthest thing from decent in my entire family...[[TheMessiah on the other end of the scale.]][[hottip:*:[[DontExplainTheJoke There's more good within her than there's evil in the rest of my family combined.]]]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Swearing really is no big deal in Vernacular French; me, I try to limit my swearing to PG-rated {{Foreign Cuss Word}}s, so they don't get dull.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Overwhelmingly so. [[spoiler:[=FlameAdder=] wrote that.]]
[[WMG:If you were bored enough to reach the bottom of this page, you're probably bored enough to scribble something on it too.]]
Do it down here. (Do think about putting your name before it, though.)
* {{Tropers/Poisonarrow}}: [[SincerityMode ~hugs~ I really wish I could do that for you in real life. Don't let everyone else get you down. I hope you and your mom manage to stay happy. You deserve it.]]
** [[CompletelyMissingThePoint Whaddya mean, "stay"?]]

I'm no less paranoid, though, and [[WallBanger egregious or hurtful stupidity]] still gets no mercy from me.

* PrecisionFStrike: Unlike most people (swearing really is no big deal in Vernacular French), I try to limit my swearing to PG-rated {{Foreign Cuss Word}}s, so that they keep an impact -- you know, what cuss words are ''for''.

Do it down here.

* SerialTweaker: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=Lioyd I pledge guilty.]]
* [[ArtifactTitle Artifact Name]]: My web handle has a long story. Back when I first registered to {{Gunz}}, my brother wouldn't stop playing TalesOfSymphonia and I hated it.
