Well, seeing as how no one has added a negative trope to my section yet, I reiterate my statement, in a hopefully politer tone:

What would you like added?

As for me, would it be possible for me to add the descriptions to the tropes added for me or should I let someone else handle it?

Perhaps everyone who has a trope in the Cast Calculus thread could get that added to their list?

I think that might be excessive. Maybe for the Family list on it, but the rest is really just a Just for Fun thing more than ACCURATE troping.

Yeah we're mostly just playing around here, Adell and Isla aren't really the parent tropes.

(Oh by the way Isla you know how there's no more milk in the fridge? Well, it was Qara who drank it all :P)

LIES! As a RESPONSIBLE OLDER SISTER, I ALWAYS replace the bag! CLEARLY the younger kids made a mess, and are trying to pin it on me!
Actually it was Dad. But I promised him I wouldn't tell.

Well if it wasn't Qara then I have no idea who it was, Mam. Nope. No idea at all.

I... finished reading "It's Walky" yesterday.

I'm still not fully recovered...

Can someone add Heroic BSOD... or, I dunno, something like that. To me...

I... don't think that constitutes a Heroic BSOD.

I... know. But... what else?

I'm... broken. That was the best, and most traumatic story ever. I said Heroic BSOD, because it's the only thing that popped to mind. Is there a generic BSOD?

Today, I didn't want to eat breakfast, or play D&D with my friends. This is more serious than it seems...

I don't eat breakfast nor have friends to play D&D with, what's your point?

Sory if I sounded ignorant in my last post, I actually meant to say something in the lines: "Well, I don't really see why you wouldn't want to do that, so, get better, keep doing, uh... get better? You know, stuff like that."

As a person who read that whole thing in a couple of days I can honestly see I am not convinced what all the fuss was about (but then I'm a Homestuck fan so clearly I have rather specialised and slightly strange tastes that are not covered by a giant robot with a head like cheese).

AndI think to have Heroic BSOD (why? it was a happy ending) you kinda have to have it for something RELATING to this ARG, not something completely unconnected.

Still *pats your shoulder reassuringly*

Yeah...

I know. Shoulda think better. But. Well. People react differently, I think. I've just. Never read something so serious before. And. Vic... as I said... it's more serious than it seems. Justo to... clarify. It wasn't simply... lack of hunger... or something like that. Imagine how'd you feel if... everytime you pick a toast, you feel like you're about to throw up. And RPG... is the sole thing I do... other than studying and... using the computer. You understand how important it is to me?

Although... the toast thing. Was before the webcomic. I think I might also be sick.

Sure I understand. You had a psychological response to an event, that the event in question is fictional really doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure eveyone here can recall a work in ficiton that made them feel similarly, though it isn't a patch on grief for a real life loved one (I honestly don't think there have been nearly enough studies done into the ramification of fictional events and characters on people, trust me when I say there's nothing weird about you there.) Everyone has a work that impacts on them. These things change us, usually for the better though it may not feel like it at a time.

I just don't think it fits as a character trope on this forum because it didn't happen to you anywhere with regards to this actual game and ergo does not count, that's all. Don't think anything of it.

Although just to be sure, dear, you better see a Doctor if it continues for too long, just to make sure you're not actually unwell.

Yeah, I agree. I shoulda've though better. But let's end it. I feel guilty for every post that concerns me but not the thread in itself.

Not sure, but are you sure you ever had a reason to grieve?

Well, my great-grandma died a few years back, and I felt nothing. That's about it, though.

Yeah, I'm heartless, but I can get pretty philosophycal, so I do'nt count.
