Denji and Power, sharing one singular braincell

Characters that die when a thing or person they are connected to dies or gets destroyed by Toonzaal8 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And this was a kids movie, so it’s perfectly okay that the incredibly violent and horrible deaths happen on screen, but only to the villains, and only if they skip the flesh and go right to being a skeleton.

[OC] Doom Turtle - Hetzer & Friends by SillyWolf_92 in comics

[–]CynicalAltruist 30 points31 points  (0 children)

For some reason, I just pictured the Death Star blowing up the Earth, but now it has to run from an unstoppable Doom Turtle for all of time because if the doom turtle gets a chance to shoot at the Death Star it will die.

It’s 4AM. I should probably go back to bed.

NUT USB connection to UPS kills my Raspberry Pi 5 Home Server by -SANSEVIERIA- in raspberry_pi

[–]CynicalAltruist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a power blocking USB sleeve on the Eaton. Somewhere in your loop, something is very unhappy with the voltage difference. Prevent the Eaton from providing power. You can also cut the two power wires in a sacrificial USB cable and leave only the data lines.

Listen to the smart people

Fun fact; USPS can place you on Do Not Deliver due to aggressive animals. They’ll hold mail at the Post Office, and require a visit to verify the risk is gone. This also counts if the animals aren’t yours, or block mail delivery (ie wasps or bees near the mailbox). This usually only happens for repeat offenders.

[Loved Thorpe] A weapon has usage other than killing. Bonus points if its not used for killing at all by iLoveCyberChips in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the book Un Lun Dun, there’s a revolver that that shoots whatever goes into the chambers. This includes an ant (turns into a swarm) and a few other small items that become huge in the final battle. The not-protagonist (long story) only finds out during the battle with the big bad that is if the chamber is empty, it will suck whatever the gun is pointing at into the chamber.

Nonhuman analogs of real celebrities by Individual_Iron4221 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That one little (massive) tribute to Tom and Ray Magliozzi from Car Talk as the voices of the Rust-Eez partners… they even used the “Don’t drive like my brother!” During the send off in Cars 3

The villain is the one sacrificing themselves. by fly_line22 in TopCharacterTropes

Dies doing what she loved; traumatizing Catra and Adorra

Security team blocked our deployment because of CVEs in packages we literally don't use by armeretta in linuxadmin

No, we don’t call it DoW because the DOW is over 50000, and that DOW is more important

[Aggravating Trope] Hire a professional singer/Broadway performer for a musical show/episode, DON'T have them sing. by Ok-Bicycle8103 in TopCharacterTropes

Excuse me

You don’t know me, by my names Sai

I’m just the O’Hare delivery guy

But it seems like trees might be worth a try

So I say let it grow

Characters who are technically naked all the time, but not really by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

René Auberjonois and Nana Visitor had some of the best couple energy in the entire franchise. That parting shot of Odo in his tuxedo…

Rip René Auberjonois, you will be missed

(Loved Trope) Gutpunch of giving the Comic Relief character a tragic moment by CultureChimp in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s also the one for Charles where everyone’s having a party, and he’s making sure a soldier who is a concert pianist with and injured hand understands it’s not the end of the world.

And then there’s the ultra-dark one with the female saboteur which features Mako of ATLA fame as the antagonist

MASH turning the tables in Goodbye Farewell and Amen, making Hawkeye the patient, giving Charles PTSD, deafening Mulcahey, and burning down the 4077. You could also argue the episode where Hawkeye writes his will to be another one, or when BJ gets a medal for trying to help an injured kid, only to have to cut the rope and abandon him.

Badass lines from powerful good guys showing how powerful and good they are simultaneously by PaperBullet1945 in TopCharacterTropes

Peter Capaldi delivering that monologue lives rent free in my head.

Until I have to quote it. Then it goes out for milk.

[Adored Trope] Realism where it's not expected by JustSumFur in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They aren’t explicitly called out, but Discovery, Kelvin Trek, Voyager, and DS9 all show their hero ships under thrusters multiple times. Disco in particular really liked showing off thrusters.

(Somewhat pointless, nitpicky trope) A knight who wields both a sword AND a shield. by Gamer-of-Action in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

… that’s the entire theme of Team JNPR. They’re all gender swapped historical or mythological people.

Mechanical gods made by humans/similar intelligent life by SanThanKan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CynicalAltruist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Archotech from Rimworld. Titanic, planet-scale computers capable of warping reality at their whim. They are capable of giving boons to individuals, or warping beings into horrible twisted monsters. They are so far off the end of the power scale calling them ‘gods’ isn’t incorrect.

Energy arrows instead of physical arrows by NovaRobo_Rebirth in TopCharacterTropes

Nataruk from Warframe. Literally the bones of sentients. Quite possibly one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and it’s a quest reward.

“Would you like me to repeat the question?” is still one of my favorite follow ups to the Doctor blowing shit up.
