I wanna be a writer and I'm planning to use the outfit types and character types and plot types in TV tropes except this time I'll be careful about it keeping stuff said here in mind. I have TV Tropes to thank because it will give me so many ideas. It's like a giant idea box where you can combine trope after trope.

So, you haven't learned anything from the last time you posted, huh?

Let me say that by doing so, you're not going to get many fans around these parts.

Because when I see the pokemon characters, the first thing I think of is rape. There's an unrealistic lack of crime besides "these people are stealing Pokemon" anyway, and the suspension of disbelief exists for a reason.

They are always sent out loaded with tech so there's probably a duress button, even with the biggest danger they face is wild pokemon eating their pokemon. Even generation one pokedexes record voice. With teleporting pokeballs, it's safe to say they mastered global wifi. It's the worst kind of world to be a rapist. It'll be hard to make sure there's no microphones or even goddanm holographic recorders anywhere.

Also, it's a kids show.

Has anything on this link been talked about, yet? If not, I feel it bears worth bringing up...

Yes, it's been brought up several pages ago.

also I found this on the Looney Tunes page:

  • The Looney Tunes Show (2011-2014): animated series set up like a sitcom with the Looney Tunes characters. While it has most of the characters back to the way they were from the older cartoons, some purists will tell you that this is yet another slap in the face to the franchise. It had a brief, but memorable run on Cartoon Network and was part of Cartoon Network's "Win Back the Crowd after the CN Real fiasco"-era that also included the premieres of Adventure Time,Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball and some other short-lived, but memorable series, like MADnote andRobotomy. Shares its name with Cartoon Network's version of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show.

I did it. I found the worst TV Tropes page ever. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/TomAndLizAustenMysteries

Tom and Liz Austen Mysteries its a series of (short) mysteries novels written by Eric Wilson the first book was published in 1976. The series is about two siblings who solve mysteries. Sometimes solo and sometimes they team up. They take place throughout Canada (and in 2 cases in the U.S.)



TropesMeddling Kids


Thriller on the Express


Amateur Sleuth:


Paranormal Investigation:


Treasure Hunt ( I know not a mystery trope, but it fits in this case)


Bluffing the Murder


Red Herring (tons of theses)


Fiery Redhead (Tom is this)(going to try to expand on this but I need to re-read the series)

Yeah, Cartoon Network was really worried about offend Looney Toons purists. What an autistic disaster that page is.

It's like someone started the page, then forgot about it, and no one else has bothered to add anything.

Trust me, it's all over the place. It's like they're more than okay doing pages like FiM, Channel Awesome, Warhammer and the like, yet don't even try to include relevant tropes to other pages.

I never knew Autism could be this lopsided, but here we are.

Of course they'd like it, it has reference humor and 'plays with' tropes. He might have tried to make the game pander to/a/ but it was a TvTropes game all along

A lot of tropers have an obsession with "meta" media, as in, makes the trope use very overt and even discusses the usage of its trope in universe.

This isn't totally bad per se, some works succeed by basically commenting on their genre, but a lot of more die hard tropers have spent so long breaking all media down into lego blocks they go nuts over series that basically indulge in such things.

tl;dr: It's self perpetuating autism.

On Drawn Together:



The fuck? Why mention Gumball?

At the risk of powerleveling, I can answer that. I was quoting from this blogpost: http://www.totalmediabridge.com/the...and-the-deconstruction-of-visual-information/ where the author compares how the writers of Drawn Together make jokes about the animation styles of the characters vs. how the writers of The Amazing World of Gumball does it (I do some TV show analysis for fun, but, lately, I'm taking a break to work on my fiction). Someone edited my post to make it spergy and I don't know how to fix it without them reverting it.

There used to be a guy who'd use multiple puppet accounts to sperg about shit like SNL and how bad Family Guy was, maybe that was him/her.

It's been changed since, but for a while, the page image for the Powerpuff Girls "Nightmare Fuel" page was this.

Do tropers just shit themselves in terror every time a fucking fly lands near them or something?

EDIT: Images not working, so I'm just linking to it. Fix your shit, @Null.

Wouldn't one of the Powerpuff Girls that Dick Hardly created be more apropos?...

The page image has since been changed to one from "Speed Demon" (the one where they go forward in time, Him takes over, and Townsville is a wasteland filled with mentally-broken zombies). It's more appropriate, I suppose, but they had the previous image for quite some time before.

I'm more amazed by the fact that they're not afraid of their own heartbeat at this point.
