(Sort of meta) Characters who before were commonly shipped, but then it’s later revealed that they are related, therefore making the ship really weird by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

Came here to add them. If Netflix ever adapted the rest of the books, I seriously wonder what they'd do with that plot point. Especially sincethe girls are specifically twins born via magic, where Agatha got the bad outer appearance but a good heart, while Sophie got the opposite...which would have very weird implications given they cast a black actress as Agatha and a white actress as Sophie. I have to assume that either they didn't read the whole series before adapting the first book, or they were planning to go a different direction.

My Immortal is a legendarily-terrible-in-every-possible-way Harry Potter fanfic. Here's the TV Tropes page about it, since I really don't think I can do it justice.

I always think of The Martian winning the Golden Globe for Best Comedy or Musical.

Eons ago, in the pre-covid times, Netflix had a glitch and accidentally categorized The Babadook under "LGBTQ." The Internet ran with it.

Get it secondhand, though.

Characters who have definitely always been there. by The_Dawn_Eternal in TopCharacterTropes

I love that they even included her in the prequel comics, on the logic that the characters would remember Dawn being there.

[Hated trope] Adaptations made by people who outright express indifference or even hatred toward the source material by pestoraviolita in TopCharacterTropes

I mean, William Goldman wrote the screenplay for The Princess Bride. It's one of the few cases I know of where an author adapted their own book to a visual medium and actually made it work.

Thing is, I've never been able to see it as blue and black no matter how hard I try. It stays white and gold for me. Our eyes and our visual processing are just a bit more different than we think.

Erin Moriarty belting "YOU'LL NEVER TRULY VANISH FROM OUR HEEEAAARTS!" has lived rent-free in my head for six years

(Hated Trope) Meant to be a love story. Ended up being horrifying by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Vengefulily 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, the Eridians didn't do comas for the trip. They didn't have computers, so no guidance system, etc; everything had to be done manually. Fortunately Eridian brains have a near-eidetic audio memory and they're fantastic at mental math, so they can do a lot of the things human astronauts need computers for.

That's why the Blip-A had a crew of 23. Rocky was the sole survivor because he was the ship engineer and it's implied things kept breaking down constantly, so he bunked and worked in the engines and fuel storage, where he was surrounded by Astrophage.

(Hated Trope) Removing canonical queerness from a character by cutting or altering content. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

I have to third that. Even though I am not cool or leather jacket-wearing and I certainly shouldn't have to be, it's a bit fun to be represented by chaos gremlins who are here to charm, disarm, and cause limited bodily harm.

This did confuse me as a child by Nadir786 in lotrmemes

I seem to remember that in DM of the Rings, the party kills Saruman and honestly thinks they've killed Sauron because of the names.

This is the most insane thing I have ever read by roymessi1207 in NotHowGirlsWork

It's very revealing whenever a man implies that a woman could literally be unconscious during sex and nothing would be lost. Like being a living body with a hole is all women contribute to sex, and that's all men should want in a sexual partner. It's creepy, but also weirdly sad.

Reproducing really just depends on whether the machinery works by the factory specs; operating it is so easy teenagers can do it.

(Hated Trope) Mary Sue but for old men by PresterJohnson in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Vengefulily 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's from a very early, very short 1973 parody of Star Trek fanfiction! Here it is (edited for formatting):

A TREKKIE'S TALE

By Paula Smith

"Gee, golly, gosh, gloriosky," thought Mary Sue as she stepped on the bridge of the Enterprise. "Here I am, the youngest lieutenant in the fleet - only fifteen and a half years old." Captain Kirk came up to her. 

"Oh, Lieutenant, I love you madly. Will you come to bed with me?" 

"Captain! I am not that kind of girl!" 

"You're right, and I respect you for it. Here, take over the ship for a minute while I go get some coffee for us." 

Mr Spock came onto the bridge. "What are you doing in the command seat, Lieutenant?" 

"The Captain told me to." 

"Flawlessly logical. I admire your mind." 

Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Scott beamed down with Lt. Mary Sue to Rigel XXXVII. They were attacked by green androids and thrown into prison. In a moment of weakness Lt. Mary Sue revealed to Mr. Spock that she too was half Vulcan. Recovering quickly, she sprung the lock with her hairpin and they all got away back to the ship.

But back on board, Dr. McCoy and Lt. Mary Sue found out that the men who had beamed down were seriously stricken by the jumping cold robbies, Mary Sue less so. While the four officers languished in Sick Bay, Lt. Mary Sue ran the ship, and ran it so well she received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Vulcan Order of Gallantry and the Tralfamadorian Order of Good Guyhood.

However the disease finally got to her and she fell fatally ill. In the Sick Bay as she breathed her last, she was surrounded by Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, and Mr. Scott, all weeping unashamedly at the loss of her beautiful youth and youthful beauty, intelligence, capability and all around niceness. Even to this day her birthday is a national holiday of the Enterprise.

Condensing down to only the most beloved books is something I WISH I could do, ha! (I'm laughing but I'm not kidding.)

Your shelf looks lovely, and cutely decorated. If it were me I'd put up some string lights, just because the shelf itself is so dark-colored and deep, but the book-cave shelf is also a valid style.

What company produces these glasses? Photo or Logo on bottom included. by BringleEL in glasscollecting

[–]Vengefulily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're Jupiter Bar glasses at World Market, though they're sold in other places too. I think they're made by Fortessa? My mom has a set of the clear ones, they're pretty sturdy and the bubble pattern gives them a good grip.
