Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Several, especially discovering how to melt wizard, various things with Killer, Daystar's accidental politeness-magic-works thing for Shiara, various other fairy tale parodies... but this troper's favorite is Cimorene's choice of cause of death: Old age.
  • In Searching for Dragons, when Willin tries to convince Mendabar to marry a "proper" princess.
Cquote1

  Mendabar: Willin, you haven't been talking to that dreadful woman with all of those daughters, have you? Because if you have, I'll...I'll stick you in that rack that you're so determined we replace!

Cquote2
    • There's also the explanation of why the rack needs replacing to begin with: Mendabar's great-great-grandmother had it removed to dry tableclothes on.
Cquote1

 Mendabar: She made someone haul a rack up eight flights of stairs and down six more, just to dry tableclothes?

Willin: A very determined woman, your great-great-grandmother.

  • Telemain's magibabble is the Running Gag version of this, though asking about how the King's failed locator spell worked when there were clearly more important issues at hand stands out. After all, what is a Comic Relief Character for if not the Crowning Moment of Funny?
  • Mendabar's general hostility towards Willin in general at the beginning of Searching for Dragons.
