Hey I remember these movies

just look at the bromance page
one billion anime references
But it's awful
Look at how it's labeled "Heterosexual Life Partners"
Not "Bromance"
Boooooo

Critical Failures - Havenhold Campaign • August St. Cloud (Human Ranger)
friend of mine works a security job for a credit card company
it largely involves sitting in a room with nothing to do for very long periods of time
he can't be going to any particularly NSFW sites, obviously
he tells me he tends to kill hours bouncing around tvtropes
if you ever reach those pages (you fail x forever) you will not get out
LONGER THAN YOU THINK DAD
LONGER THAN YOU THINK
i just had to click the 'molly-guard' link and it redirected me to a linkless wikitionary page
probably the only time tvtropes will take less than an hour of my life at a time!
My favourite
Some of the exampes given are fucking ace.
A+ number one website
Haha yes, actually how about that, but with the Witchlock movie of the book of the movie?
In other news I have loved this site for a long time (internet time, a few months).
well the most obvious one is the heterosexual life partners trope
actually that'd be fucking terrible
I know the comic sucks but these are from Acheivements in Ignorance and I thought that was pretty funny
# 8-Bit Theater's Fighter and Black Belt do this constantly. Black Belt has No Sense Of Direction to the extent that he can warp causality (He gets lost and unwittingly travels back in time). Fighter meanwhile, has done things such as fold portable holes into themselves and split himself into multiple Fighters in order to even out conflicting teams.
* Although this may be more of an achievement in poor organization than stupidity, Red Mage once survived having his skeleton pushed out his mouth because he lost his pencil and was unable to record the damage on his character sheet.
* Red Mage frequently tries to invoke this trope, with various degrees of success. His approach is probably best summed up with "You know that and I know that, but I don't know that".
* Vilbert (a vampire) is able to survive in the sunlight because he feels it would be an uninteresting death.
* This troper believes that the best goes to Black Belt, who held up a rope for the others to walk across over a lava pit. He then followed. When asked how, he replies, "Simple. I held up the rope and walked across, like you guys."
