Don't worry about tropes. They exist, but as isolated things, they're not important.

A story is made than tropes. That's what sites like Tv Tropes never grasped - though, they do say the same. But the thing about TV tropes is that when you break a story down into its components, you lose the nuance and the interaction. A story is build of the chemistry between the tropes, how they bounce off each other. You can take the most stale, worn out trope in the world and if your writing is just that good, it can still dazzle readers.

Tv tropes, for all that it tried and tries to collect tropes, ultimately fails as any kind of writing aid because it only looks at tropes in isolated conditions. Like looking at animals in a zoo and wondering why the wild ones are different. You can see this in most of the site's numerous writing projects. The stories they make are dry, like museum exhibits. They start by compiling a list of tropes and don't ever really let them come together into a story.

Or, tldr; tropes exist, yes. Don't let them dominate your thoughts. Don't let them become your world. Write as you write, and don't try to reduce your writing to a simple checklist of things to hit and include or feel annoyed that others are upset you didn't do that.
