"Yeah, he gave us "trouble." He turned into a dolphin and tried to eat the universe. Or something."
— Fern, Awful Hospital
Ey there, I'm Moe, pronounced Mow, unlike the trope. My pronouns don't matter, call me whatever. I mostly add examples for the works I like and hang around Forum Games.
If you see any of my old examples that are rife with opinions and trope misuse, please remove them if you can. I'm trying to work on cleaning them up.

Tropes I like!
- The Alleged Car
- All Your Colors Combined
- The Anti-Nihilist: Yes, we all die in the end, but that doesn't mean nothing is worth doing. Why would we have the opportunities to do great things if they weren't worth doing? You only live once, so you gotta make the most of it.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking
- Asian Fox Spirit
- Autobots, Rock Out!
- Badass Adorable
- Batter Up!: Especially if the bat has nails in it.
- Bioluminescence Is Cool: Anything that glows in the dark is automatically super awesome. Now imagine being able to glow yourself! I love glowy creatures, especially glowing bugs like fireflies, glow worms, and glowing termites.
- Bloody Hilarious
- Blue-and-Orange Morality
- Cat Smile
- Chainsaw Good
- Chivalrous Pervert
- Comically Missing the Point

- Everything's Better with Rainbows
- Extreme Omnivore
- Four-Temperament Ensemble
- Friendly Enemy
- Glowing Gem
- Hellhound
- I'm Okay!: I like it because it's Truth in Television for me. I can fall down a flight of stairs and shrug the pain off just by saying I'm okay.
- Impossibly Cool Weapon
- Improvised Weapon
- Ironic Echo
- Lamprey Mouth
- Loophole Abuse
- Maneki Neko

Tropes I do NOT like
- All Just a Dream: Kinda situational. If a one-off tragedy happens to a character and they wake up from it, it's okay, but if the character's whole adventure was all for nothing it's just a waste of a plot.
- Black-and-White Morality: I don't hate it, but it's kinda boring. Morally grey characters are usually more interesting and realistic. Good people can have flaws and bad people can have good qualities.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Just say the plot crucial thing already, it's not that hard!
- Eye Scream: I can handle all kinds of blood and violence, but this is where I draw the line... It hurts just to look at it.
- Girl on Girl Is Hot: When aimed at men. The whole point of being a lesbian is NOT being attracted to men; which means we're not gonna participate in your fantasies.
- Hollywood Autism: neurotypicals stop writing autistic characters without doing actual research challenge (impossible)
- Poor Communication Kills: I hate it when all these bad things happen just because someone didn't want to listen. All of this unnecessary tension could've been avoided if you didn't jump to conclusions.
- Potty Emergency: It gives me second-hand embarrassment.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story and Shoot the Shaggy Dog: What a great way to waste a perfectly good plot.
- "Stop Having Fun" Guys: "You can't just catch the cute/cool pokemon! Your team isn't competitively viable!!" 🤓🤓🤓🤓
- Wheelchair Woobie: It's a shitty way to add cheap sympathy to a story. Disabled people can stand up for themselves. We don't exist for you to pity us.
