TV tropes is about grinding down every piece of work to a series of increasingly (and sometimes weirdly) specific tropes. It reduces everything to components the site has deemed exist. It's a cringeworthy concept in general sometimes, and applied to fan works, that are really about enjoying stuff unselfconsciously and bathing in emotion, that way of looking at fanworks just makes me cringe SO HARD.

This idea that everything can be reduced to a bunch of stereotypes sometimes harms the magic of even complex and plot driven things which are professionally produced. Why would I ever want that attitude associated with fanworks (even if they're not ones I like)?

"people who don't enjoy things the normal way are WEIRD" is all i'm getting out of this.

Yeah, I get the feeling that ayrt really isn't TVTropes target audience. I actually enjoy analyzing stories and seeing what makes them work (or not). If that makes me weird, then that's just another thing to add to the long list of things that also make me weird. :p

“It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works — that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it.” Carl Sagan

"I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree. Then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe…

I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts." Richard Feynman
