GavsEvans123 05/19/19 4:46:43 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: Shrinking Violet Launcher of a Thousand Ships Despair Event Horizon Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him Pop-Cultured Badass Your Soul is Mine One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate Crutch Character A Taste of Power Magikarp Power Joke Character Lethal Joke Character Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy Stone Wall Glass Cannon Lightning Bruiser Breather Boss That One Level Breather Level Giant Space Flea from Nowhere Game-Breaker Asshole Victim Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome Evil Cripple Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922103983] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/19/19 4:50:05 PM #3:	Today's trope is Blue-Collar Warlock. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueCollarWarlock Whenever we think of wizards, sorcerers, or mages, the first thing that pops in our minds are old wise men, long staffs, magical wands, pointy hats, and long beards. The blue collar warlock is a different kind of magic-user. He lives in no medieval fantasy setting, but instead lives in something more contemporary. They are sorcerers who modernized and you may cross paths with one on the streets. They might live among us and use magical artifacts that look like mundane items. Unlike contemporary warriors, they fight with the use of old-fashioned magic and the occult. Streetwise in the face of danger, some may be good, while others are sinister. Sometimes they are Occult Detectives or Stage Magicians. See also Trenchcoat Brigade. Contrast Gentleman Wizard. TL,DR: Wizards and witches who don't conform to the traditional magical stereotypes and are more contemporary and streetwise. Nominations: Harry Dresden (The Dresden Files) John Constantine (Constantine) Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922104100] in Best of th...
