GavsEvans123 05/12/19 5:52:44 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 Infinity +1 Sword Launcher of a Thousand Ships Despair Event Horizon Even the Girls Want Her Blue-Collar Warlock Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:921807740] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/12/19 5:55:29 PM #3:	Today's trope is Shear Menace. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShearMenace Weapons come in all different shapes and forms. From swords to spears. Then there are scissors. Believe it or not, these everyday household tools are considered to be dangerous by the TSA. Typically, characters who use these as their Weapon of Choice are gardeners/groundskeepers (using shears) or tailors (using scissors). However, those associated with death may also use them; Atropos was known for using scissors to cut the threads of life. Morticians and taxidermists also use scissors when they perform autopsies or prepare bodies for their final, possibly mounted, resting place. TL,DR: A character who uses scissors, shears, or something similar as a weapon. Nominations: Ryuko Matoi (Kill La Kill) Scissorsman (Clock Tower) Sundowner (Metal Gear Rising) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:921807863] in Best of th...
