Mistaken for a Girl is a dead link... :(
Should it be Gender Confusion then?

I think that's what I used for Isla.
If you ever need to ask the questions "Am I needed? Should I help them?" The answer is always yes. Always.

Yeah, something like:

"ViewerGenderConfusion: His Alice avatar led to several erroneous assumptions that he was female."

If you want something about being called "Sicon's Brother" all the time, just use They Just Call Him Barkeep.
Normal people are the easiest to manipulate. Too smart and they have an annoying tendency to catch wind of your plans, too dumb and, in the words of a certain pirate, "You can never tell when they are about to do something incredibly...stupid."

Which tropes would you put for me?
Dolphins are some of the smartest animals, yes, but by human standards… Let's say you should praise the god that forces them to stay handless and underwater.

That's the trope we're looking for!

Definitely need to include my propensity for making shout outs to Touhou, as well as my Cloud Cuckoolander status, and probably also something about how much of an anime otaku and hikkikomori I am. Also, changed my Tropes handle to AMimsyBorogove to match this user account.

You're being annoying. Had to say that.

But... Well, think of stuff that applies to you and post it here... Like Sicon said, It's hard to come up with tropes for other people... So just point out things you believe are worth noting and we'll add it if we agree with it. :D

I'd kinda like more tropes if at all possible, though I do understand that I don't exactly leave much to draw upon, given the infrequent nature of my posting. The one that I thought I'd get for sure was "A God Am I", given my signature, and the post that inspired it (which I think I will change to a link to the post, just because I like the original better). Still, eh. I don't feel comfortable adding stuff to my entry; I can't get over the nagging feeling that my self-perception is getting in the way of how I actually am.

Actually, that's a rule. Do not self-promote! We'll think about what to do for you... If you think of something, post here. :D



On this topic in general though, I did tweak my entry just to fix a link. And added a short description, but by all means edit it to make a better description if you think of something.

That's why I'm bothering you. No self-promotion.

Well, about this, I'll add a description to myself later then. No rush, so I'll wait until the trope adding edits slow down.
Also yay! Thanks for the tropes!


So, add a description, that alone could give us ideas. And by all means, tell us what you think should we add as tropes, we won't add everything you say just because, but we can surely use the help identifying the trope. ;)

So, whoever put of my first trope, thank you. Although I'm not sure if "Nice Guy" is really a compliment or an indicator that I'm boring. Maybe I need to Grow the Beard?

ahem...


Yeah, uh, so, I'm cool now. Yeah. Grown up and shit. I cuss now, that's a thing, bi-yatch. Watch as I drink this green stuff. I'm cool with the memes now and hipster too. Yeah.

It was me, and I never considered being a Nice Guy to be in any way a bad thing :)

Although if you're going to grow a beard, send pictures :P
