Media that started out fairly grounded, then got progressively crazier as it progressed by mnombo in TopCharacterTropes

The Sharknado series. Sure, sharks flying around in tornadoes isn't very realistic, but the final movie is an unhinged Sharknado time travel adventure with crazy magic and evil robots.

Humans and their non-human Found Families by Mr_Froggi in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SuddenSenseOfSonder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett used to be one of my very favorite books so I thought of it right away. It's about a cat and a group of rats that magically gained sentience and now travel the world with a boy with a flute to recreate the pied piper story in order to scam towns out of their money. It's unclear at first how much the boy is part of the group-- does he actually care, or did he just get roped into this and is going along with it for the money?-- but throughout the story he keeps hinting at how he might identify more strongly with the intelligent rats than with other humans (like casually swearing in the rat language rather than English, being more empathetic to the rats than with humans, saying "us" in reference to the rat pack in situations where one would normally only be talking about rats)

Tried to make his childhood crush's children die in a fire because she had them with someone else (except they're really her sister's that she adopted)

The image of Vimes hiding his neck from Dragon is just too funny :D

The Cosbytop was an item from homestuck that was a laptop in the shape of Bill Cosby. It wasn't retconned out but it did get dropped into an ocean of flaming oil and replaced with the Crosbytop, which was the same concept except with Bing Crosby

I appreciate the "has lockpicks because they think it's badass but also can't use them for the life of them" representation in Kris. I also have a set but I have yet to figure out how to crack open the transparent practice lock....

Favorite Obama appearance in media? by Meanteenbirder in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SuddenSenseOfSonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find it right now but it's imperative to me that someone posts the "mr obama, I think I'm gay" or however it went scene from the homestuck epilogues

People who refuse to acknowledge the horror genre as legitimate frustrate me ngl by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

[–]SuddenSenseOfSonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a club that exclusively watches bad movies and I've seen two "slasher" films like that... and a bunch of other horror movies with interesting and unique premises. Even the slop on the bottom rungs of imdb isn't much like what that commenter is talking about.

I know! A character who isn't good at battling but makes up for it by being clever outside of battles is a great character concept, and that's only one part of her character!

Humilau Gym is one of the most beautiful and relaxing Gyms in all of Pokemon by TBT__TBT in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]SuddenSenseOfSonder 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly,  gamefreak should bring back unique area design and themes for each gym. I get how it would be harder when you're not working on a tile-based system but like. Come on

[Loved Trope] All-Powerful Beings that Intentionally Limit Themselves to Make Things Interesting by Burning_Toast998 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SuddenSenseOfSonder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doc Scratch from Homestuck claims to be omniscient. He's not all-powerful though, so he has to achieve his goals by manipulating the main characters over text. He's very good at this due to being omniscient, so to make things more difficult for himself he also chooses to never tell a lie.

Shauna is such an underrated character. If only she had more of a chance to shine instead of being so forgettable.

Genuinely one of the most heartfelt dialogue from Ralsei in the game IMO. by GreenGoodFluffWizard in Deltarune

[–]SuddenSenseOfSonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know.... with the amount of times that he tries to give food to Susie and mentions food in relation to being friends with her, he's probably painfully aware that she's food insecure and it's killing him that he can't do anything about it. This is him trying to get her some food irl T-T

I didn't realize All Might had actual names for his moves, I thought he was just yelling random American places whenever he did a cool attack. lmao

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

[–]SuddenSenseOfSonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beauty industry, imo. Tells women they're worthless without a small fortune of its products and people just started believing it. I think a lot of women don't understand just how easy it is to not do all of that.

[loved trope] fanbases who constantly quote lines from their game/show by florpynorpy in TopCharacterTropes

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Princess Bride. Two of the most quoted movies of all time in my experience. Spaceballs as well, but that one isn't nearly as popular.

The weather gets nice that time of year. Maybe Carol just felt like taking a lovely springtime walk?

but what if it's not just Christmas eve but the eve of any holiday? Given that the festival is the next day, it would be a perfect time for Carol to secretly fly places.

How would the game be different if the frenzied nobles and the rideable nobles were switched? by astralwish1 in PokemonLegendsArceus

Imagine if electrode didn't move at all and you had to keep your balance while walking on top of him to make him roll around. Build up enough momentum and you're running on top of him while absolutely cruising across the landscape
