GavsEvans123 05/29/19 3:58:22 PM #1:	Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope! Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Launcher of a Thousand Ships Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate One Scene Wonder Stupid Statement Dance Mix Magikarp Power Joke Character Lethal Joke Character Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy Stone Wall Glass Cannon Breather Boss That One Level Breather Level Giant Space Flea from Nowhere Game-Breaker Broken Base Roaring Rampage of Revenge Cliffhanger Cruel and Unusual Death Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome Evil Cripple Torch the Franchise and Run Lights Off, Somebody Dies Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922530705] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/29/19 4:04:09 PM #3:	Today's trope is Shrinking Violet. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShrinkingViolet Painfully shy and quiet, the Shrinking Violet is the withdrawn character, usually but not always female, who walks through the school hallways with her head down and wants nothing more than to blend in with the scenery to avoid all attention because she believes that her presence is worthless or unwanted. Often The Quiet One. Expect her to apologise a lot. She will usually be better than average in scholastic classes, and her appearance will often be pretty in a bookish sort of way, although not all shrinking violets need to be geniuses or nerds. Bonus points if she has long dark hair that hides her eyes. The reasons for her (lack of) self-confidence vary, but they usually include intimidation (or bullying) by the popular ones, or being the youngest and more sheltered daughter in the family, or in more dramatic cases, a personal event that convinced her that the world would be better off if she just shut up. In other cases, the Shrinking Violet actually manages to avoid the brunt of fights or taunts that more vocal outcasts take, presumably because she's so quiet that she might as well be invisible. TL,DR: A very shy character who tries to avoid drawing attention to themselves as much as possible, and finds social interaction difficult because of their shyness. Nominations: Violet (The Incredibles) Tali'Zorah (Mass Effect) Willow (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922530944] in Best of th...
