GavsEvans123 05/20/19 4:28:04 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 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 A***e Victim Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome Evil Cripple Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922148268] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/20/19 4:32:55 PM #3:	Today's trope is Despair Event Horizon. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DespairEventHorizon The line that, once crossed, destroys any last remaining sense of hope. It could be for a cause, a person, a situation, or simple survival. A character has given up on it, and there is no going back. It can lead soldiers to despair or even suicide, if they don't simply lose the will to live. It can turn an Ideal Hero into an Anti-Hero or an outright villain, or even, in some cases, vice versa. It is a vital element of Tragedy. Coming near this line is quite common in fiction; frequently, at the end of the second act or the 45 minute mark of a drama or the first hour of a film, the protagonist comes dangerously close to the edge before a Rousing Speech or Deus ex Machina or the like comes along. It makes for a Downer Ending if the protagonist does fall over the edge. Frequently, this is when the What You Are in the Dark test hits him. Alternatively, many stories have a hero "Fighting the Good Fight" and meeting someone who'd been at it longer and lost all hope. This is often a goal of some wars. Break the enemy's morale, and you can achieve victory even without military success. TL,DR: The moment when a character loses all hope. Nominations: Lucy's dog is murdered by bullies (Elfen Lied) Sayori gets friendzoned (Doki Doki Literature Club) ~~Ahsoka leaves the Jedi order~~ (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922148472] in Best of th...
