Hey, my name is August, but I use Ryan Puffs as a handle. I like to frequent this site and I decided to make my own troper page. You can contact me on...

Tropes About Me
- Aborted Arc: Only projects I have insisted on are Kaneko Clan and Unloaded. Others tend to fall off, especially in the case of fan fiction.
- All Just a Dream: I once had a dream about this site one night where I went on the Complete Monster proposal thread (despite me leaving the thread since I don't feel confident about it) where I suggested, out of all villains, Lord Farquaad. The chances of him being actually qualified is basically none.
- Ambiguous Gender Identity: Right now I'm going through sometime. Now I'm a cis boy who uses feminine pronouns, but I can't tell if I'm a feminine cis boy, transfeminine, or transgirl.
- Berserk Button:
- Narcissism. I will not want to associate myself with you if you hold yourself on a very high pedestal, even if it’s a joke.
- Non-Fungible tokens. Not only due to how they’re damaging to the environment, but also due to how so many companies and big figures are using these despite this fact.
- Being Personal Isn't Professional: Er, it depends...
- Concerning doing edits on this site and interacting with other tropers in the forums, I try to be friendly and outgoing because to be honest, I'm very nervous going into the forums as I have been using this site for years, and as such I want to make a good impression.
- Played straight concerning doing business for art commissions. I want to put up a good image for not only myself, but also my characters. Thus, I try to be as professional, helpful, and business-minded as possible. Most personal I get is excitement when I see stuff like sketches for updates.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Due to being manipulated and then later backstabbed, I no longer subscribe to the idea of Easily Forgiven and I’m not afraid to put my foot down when enough is enough.
- Epic Fail: Expect me to occasionally forget the {} whenever I’m editing. I usually catch it.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Admittedly, I have some anger issues, and I try my best to control them. Unfortunately, I let it get the better of me sometimes.
- I Work Alone: Due to increasing schedule, poor judgment calls, and a embarrassing incident where, due to dealing with sensory overload and couldn’t think clearly (and thus probably shouldn’t have been on the thread at that time), I mixed up a candidate’s name twice, I decided to it’s best to abstain from the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads to not bog everyone down and do regular edits on my own, possibly abstaining from other cleanup threads too.
- TV Tropes Will Enhance Your Life: I actually use TV Tropes character pages as templates for character building, using Google Docs to make hypothetical pages and thus help me develop my characters. I even went on to describing the main stories in TV Tropes style. I have done YMMV docs for fun, but I am well aware that audience reactions are unpredictable (especially Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard pages, which I still do purely for fun and developing characters), so I try to use the less subjective YMMV tropes for those, even if those are for fun.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: I like to use she/her pronouns and am interested in feminine and girly things.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: I was once very optimistic and cheerful when I was younger. With the stuff I have been through in recent times and current events, not anymore.
- Villain Protagonist: A good bit of my behavior in 2020 basically amounted to this. I’ve recovered though. Though it could be just self-loathing.
- Wholesome Cross Dresser: I used to crossdress in 2019, and I wanna continue nowadays.
