Or, tropes from Television Tropes & Idioms that I frequently find myself noting.

  • Informed Attribute : A violation of Show, Don't Tell when fleshing out a fictional tangible. Something is said to be X, but not shown to be that way.
  • Amazon Chaser : For every trope, there is a flip side. The flip side to No Guy Wants An Amazon is the lady who's attractive because of her Amazon-ness. For instance, the guy could be looking for a Violently Protective Girlfriend, the other half of his Battle Couple, or simply finds a woman who refuses to submit and challenges him very enticing.
  • Shipping Goggles : Shipping Goggles is when a viewer interprets the smallest, most ambiguous canonical evidence in favor of their ship of choice, even if said "evidence" is insignificant relative to other evidence, or outright nonexistent.
