Tropes

Many of us are tropers, so we decided to make a list of tropes that apply to PT rather than making an actual page.

If you're going to edit this page...

1. Do not remove anything on this page. Feel free to add a "YMMV" disclaimer somewhere, but no removal.

1a. If something is attacking somebody out of character (as in, a personal attack), then it can be removed.

1b. Calling someone a Mary Sue is not a personal attack if there is a "YMMV" disclaimer.

2. Link to the trope.

2a. Here's how it works: If you want the bold word "Buttmonkey" (because they should be bolded) to link to the Buttmonkey trope, you put Buttmonkey.

3. Follow the format.

4. Keep the order alphabetical.

5. Put it under the right category.

6. Individual character tropes are things like "The Alcoholic," "Butt Monkey", "Memetic Badass", etc. Everything else goes into the other category. This includes anything to do with ships and tropes like "Belligerent Sexual Tension."

6a. When in doubt, don't put it under Individual Characters.

=Event/Plot/World/Overall Tropes= Belligerent Sexual Tension Noland and Lucy. Wait, scratch that. Noland and anyone he screws.
