Hullo. I've been a longtime reader of TV Tropes (since about 2010), but now I've decided to join the crew of awesome people who make this site what it is. I'm pretty new, but I'll try my hardest to make good edits!
I started editing because this wiki completely lacks everything that I hate about other wikis. I'm fed up with the humorless, clinical, stiff-collared bureaucrats from Wikipedia. They believe in sucking away all the fun and making everything boring. But that's not the case here. This is the perfect wiki for passionate people who don't like being hemmed in by needless regulations. Like me.
...end ramble. Whew! Sorry for my gushing. I think you can tell now how much I'm obsessed with this site, heh heh.
Also, if you're curious, my name stands for 'Run, you clever boy, and remember'. Whovians will understand.
You'll find me most around the Doctor Who, Harry Potter and Vlog Brothers pages. Yes, I'm a nerdfighter.
Oh, and here are some tropes that describe me:
- Adorkable: I try to come across as this, but usually I just look nervous.
- Agent Mulder: I'm a major paranormal buff.
- Ambiguous Disorder: For a while, my parents and teachers wondered, because I had totally shut down at that time. Now it’s known that I had social anxiety disorder and depressive disorder.
- Animal Motifs: Mine is a serpent.
- Berserk Button: Do not mock/trivialize suicide, mental health issues or bullying victims.
- Blinding Bangs: I used to have my hair in my face.
- Book Dumb: I'm very knowledgeable, but not in any subjects that are taught in school.
- Break the Cutie: I was bullied in middle school.
- Break the Haughty: Has happened to me a number of times. However, most of the broken “pride” was really founded more on insecurity than anything else.
- Card-Carrying Villain: I used to be a Jerkass and proud of it.
- Cassandra Truth
- Character Alignment: I feel like a Neutral Good, but can shift into Lawful Neutral when I’m feeling apathetic. Sometimes I fancy myself as Chaotic Neutral, even though I’m not. (To be honest, I bet everyone does…)
- The Chick: I generally fill either this role or The Smart Guy.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: It goes without saying.
- Complete Monster: I used to think that I was one.
- The Cutie: I’m usually thought of as this at school, because I’m quiet.
- Dark Chick: If I were a villain.
- Dark Is Not Evil
- Darker and Edgier: I became this eventually, during/after Middle School. I recently became Lighter and Softer after I realized that being too edgy is annoying.
- The Determinator: I might be a horrible procrastinator, but I always make sure the important things get done in the end.
- Dying Like Animals: I'm a snake. At least, I like to think of myself as one. In reality, I care too much about what people think of me.
- Everybody Hates Mathematics
- Everythings Better With Dinosaurs
- Everything's Cuter with Kittens: My volunteer job.
- Everything's Precious with Puppies: I love dogs and puppies too.
- Evil Is Cool: I once thought so.
- Fluffy Tamer: I’m attracted to oddball animals.
- Four-Temperament Ensemble: I'm the Phlegmatic.
- Freudian Excuse: 4 years of bullying, several years of social isolation and anxiety/depression. (I don’t use this to excuse myself for my behavior, though – although I used to – so I guess this is a subverted trope.)
- GIFT: I possessed this for a while.
- Gosh Dang It to Heck!: I usually avoid swearing.
- Green Aesop: I like these stories, and try to include one in every story I write.
- Green Eyes: Actually, blue-green eyes, but more green than blue.
- Green-Eyed Monster: It's easy for me to get jealous of other people, especially if they are recognized for their talents and abilities and I'm not.
- Hidden Depths
- Humans Are the Real Monsters: I get this attitude a lot.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: All of tenth grade.
- Insane Troll Logic: According to my mom, I’m good at twisting logic and words around and forming one-sided arguments.
- Jade-Colored Glasses: For a few years I was like this.
- Jerkass: I used to be one, sometimes, but I wasn’t very good at it.
- Light Is Not Good
- Mauve Shirt: If I died, a lot of people I know in Real Life would be quite sad, even though most of them don’t know me too well.
- Mistaken for Gay: Sometimes. I am more feminine than average, but I am male, identify as so, and am completely straight.
- Myers Briggs: I’m highly interested in personality theory. I’m an INFP, enneagram 4w3, and Big Five RLUAI. I don’t believe in astrology, though I do enjoy using it as a hypothetical personality model.
- Nietzsche Wannabe: I used to be, partly so that I could excuse myself for my jerkass behavior. Nowadays I believe that morality is subjective, but I’m not “nihilistic”.
- Noodle People: This is how my body is shaped. I'm really skinny.
- Old Shame: Quite a few. I have the tendency to completely discount everything I’ve ever said so far before the present point in time. I guess that’s part of being an adolescent.
- One Of Us: Obviously, since I’m a troper.
- Only Sane Man: I used to fancy myself as one.
- Pride: I can get quite arrogant sometimes, especially when I get encouraged, or when I’m feeling unappreciated.
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: My eyes are the one thing I really love about my appearance. They're so big. And green.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: I'd be the Blue Oni.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: No. I have averted this trope all my life.
- Rhymes on a Dime: But not all the time.
- Schemer: I used to think I was one.
- School Saved My Life: I'm probably the only kid who doesn't like summer.
- Shrinking Violet: I have social anxiety.
- Six Student Clique: I'd be the Quirk.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: I sit unbudgingly at the farthest end of the “idealism” side, although I do have my “damnit, humanity” moments.
- The Smart Guy: Not saying that I am smart, but that I do play this role sometimes.
- Smug Snake
- Stepford Smiler: See below.
- The Stoic: I never confide my current problems to anyone else but myself.
- Stoic Woobie: See above.
- "Stop Having Fun" Guys: Sometimes I can pick up this attitude – not about fandoms, but during creative group projects at school.
- Stupid Good
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Naturally.
- Tall Poppy Syndrome
- The Three Faces of Adam: I am the Lord. If I were female, I'd be the Child.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: I suffered this a little bit after 7th grade. I think it also happened briefly in 2nd grade, although whether or not I was finding my independence or just being a Spoiled Brat is up for debate.
- Luckily, I Took a Level in Kindness after 9th grade.
- Tyrannosaurus Rex: My childhood favorite dinosaur.
- Unpleasable Fanbase: Averted. I never complain about my favorite franchises. If something is made that I don't like, I just keep quiet and appreciate the creator's effort to please me.
- What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: I avert this with my love for unpopular, underrepresented animals, although I still love cute animals just as much.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: I’m really big about animal rights, but I don’t “hate” humanity.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist
- Wise Beyond My Years: I sometimes feel this way, but I’m careful not to make an ego out of it.
- Writers Cannot Do Math: I’m more “words” than “numbers”.
- The Woobie: This is how people often see me. I do feel this way sometimes (and I have suffered from depression for a couple of years), but I don’t dwell on it because it feels like Wangst.
