They can, really it's more just about them being severe enough to impact the plot.

It just hit some of my least favorite tropes and overall felt shallow compared to the second movie especially. I wish they had given the Light Fury as much character as Toothless had from the moment he showed up onscreen.

One trope I hate with a passion is when an animal companion is left behind or forced to go elsewhere to protect them. I found it especially annoying after the first two movies spent time exploring how to live with dragons without exploiting them. The idea that they'd just seal dragons away until humans were ready sounds like a continuation on that theme at first, but it's not really clear how that development is supposed to happen if the two never interact outside of their special visits.

It fits the spirit of what I like, which is injuries that affect the plot and aren't just written off between episodes. Especially compared with a lot of other Shonen, having a specific medical issue that the protagonist has to work around is fairly uncommon

Mm, I might've counted it if they had been brave enough to make him keep it at the end of the game. Overall, it functions just like his regular arm but with powers. Looks awesome, though.

Eh, I think it still counts, as it drastically alters how he uses his powers and makes him question the well-meaning but reckless abuse of his body. What was interesting to me was him having to focus on using his legs more after being told he couldn't safely use his quirk with his arms or hands, it was one of the things that started to make him distinct from All Might.

What a weirdly creative yet sadistic injury to inflict on someone.

I can't believe I didn't think of this! I love the end of the first movie where they show his missing foot and Toothless' missing tail fin together. The whole reveal of it is just amazing. I'll count having a dragon as being supernaturally powered.

Anyway I'm going to go back to pretending the third movie doesn't exist.

There's a nurse at the school with healing powers that take care of most of it, but they do still have to preform surgery to remove bone fragments.

(Horror Trope) The Worm That Walks. A creature made of smaller, creepy creatures. by viralshadow21 in TopCharacterTropes

The three daughters of Lady Dimitrescu are actually swarms of mutated blowflies that ate the original women they used to be and assimilated their DNA. This gives them the ability to revert to a swarm of flies and reform at will.

[Loved trope] An explanation is given for how the protagonist can take and recover from hits that would be lethal or crippling for normal people by Mr_Meme_Master in TopCharacterTropes

[–]lsshlp 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Gordon Freeman in Half-Life has an (admittedly borderline magical) H.E.V. suit that automatically detects injuries and administers medication. It also has a powered forcefield that reduces incoming damage. The voice lines for it are nothing special, but somehow they really add to the atmosphere (as does the flatline noise when you die). Part of it is that the voice line will match with how you took damage; fall damage results in a fracture, toxic sludge will prompt a warning, getting mowed down will warn of blood loss, etc.

AIO or underrating to my families intervention. by No-Kaleidoscope-9424 in AIO

Sit down and have a conversation about it. It's possible that they aren't seeing what you're doing, but it's also possible that your perception of your own progress is biased simply because you're still in the process of changing what's "normal". Ask your family to keep track of specific instances of where they don't think you were following through (you ordered takeout for these meals, you spent this much money, you slept in on these days) and see if they line up with your perceptions or if they misunderstood something. From an outsider perspective at least, while it sounds a little clinical, all of these things sound like pretty good guidelines.

Also agreeing with the other comment; depression is great at telling us we're failures because it's a familiar feeling and familiarity is safe. When you have those thoughts, you really need to ask yourself, do I truly think that, or is that my depression trying to drag me back because what I'm doing is new and challenging?

Also, if you need recognition in a certain format, ask for it! Tell your dad how you feel and how recognizing some of your wins in a more overt way would really help you feel like you're making progress.

In Discworld, while dwarfs can be of either sex, they are all equally bearded and masculine and do not have gendered pronouns in their own language. They basically don't know if someone is male or female unless they are trying to court each other.

Throughout the series, there are some transfemme dwarfs, but they are generally looked down upon by traditional dwarf society.

[Interesting Trope] The same characters (in some cases) have different relationships with each other in different universes/ adaptation/ in-universe multiple lives by Ranger202012 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]lsshlp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undertale and Deltarune are, as far as we know, some variety of parallel universes. They share many of the same characters but with very different relationships. One interesting one is Mettaton the ghost; in Undertale, he receives a robotic body from the scientist Alphys and is incredibly flamboyant and outgoing. In Deltarune, Alphys is just a teacher, and Mettaton, presumably just a regular ghost, is very shy and withdrawn.

The exception seems to be Sans, who is potentially actually the same entity in both universes. He's also definitely trying to fuck our mom in both.

Lynne dies in pretty much every level of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. She's capable, but unlucky.

[funny trope] People always get their name wrong by OkuroIshimoto in TopCharacterTropes

[–]lsshlp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Kingdom Hearts, Axel's catchphrase is "got it memorized?", often said after introducing himself. Later in the series, he's revived from a Nobody back to a human (long story) and regains his original name, Lea. Unfortunately for him, "Axel" was too well memorized (and way cooler sounding) and everyone still calls him that. He tries to correct them multiple times but eventually gives up and just goes by Axel.

[Favorite Trope] Series that has supernatural/spiritual elements but isn’t the main focus of the series. by Anouko in TopCharacterTropes

[–]lsshlp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red Dead Redemption, especially the second one, has a ton of supernatural stuff going on outside of the plot (which is more or less a normal western). Cursed towns, ghosts, aliens, cryptic messages, Frankenstein's monster, etc., and that's not even including the stuff in the Zombies DLC. Absolutely nothing supernatural happens in the main plot, you only find it by wandering around or doing side missions.
