![]() The speed with which one picks up such an insult can reveal Hidden Depths, and their level of mercy, or lack thereof, in dealing with the offender will speak volumes to their moral standing and character. They got the message clearly, and make it known in no uncertain terms that they were well aware of what was said.įrom there they can either simply rely on the other's embarrassment at being found out to chasten them, or they can fully punish them, especially if they're a superior officer or employer. They believed themselves clever enough and shrewd enough that the target of that insult will never figure it out, allowing them to feel a sense of smug superiority over them.Įxcept that the person being insulted understood the insult, and not in a Double Take sort of way. So it can't be either of those tropes since it's not something explored in depth as awesome or scary, it's just "silly fish".Įdited by WarJay77 on Jun 2nd 2023 at 3:18:30 PMīut I can only recall two examples off of the top of my head. In both of these cases, the underwater worlds aren't actually explored (Neopets has Maraqua, but it's on par with every other nation in Neopia and you can't explore it beyond a few shops and other areas, and it's basically just a normal world with a blue filter). Pets and petpets are based on real animals or mythical creatures, but these specific fish are more whimsical than that, being entirely fantasy concepts and more to do with being goofy or special. but the fish that can be found at the fishing spot are objectively weird even by the standards of Neopia, being much more absurd and unrealistic (such as, again, fish that could double as utilities). Meanwhile, Neopets is full of silly petpets and strange colors and magic and all that. They're also the only creatures that go based on joke logic, while everything else is grounded in a more consistent tone. The fish are the only real "animals" in Toon Town that aren't Funny Animals or the "doodles" (which are dog-like pets). With that out of the way: Let's discuss some ideas.Įdited by MacronNotes on Feb 27th 2022 at 1:49:11 PM Got ideas for non-trope pages you need help with? Never fear, the New Page Workshop Thread is here! Or you can browse it yourself if you need more draft ideas, whether or not you feel they should be mentioned here first. If you've an idea but can't personally work on it, you can add it to the yard and let someone else create the draft. On this thread, you can share your ideas with the masses before making that TLP draft, so if there's any lingering uncertainty about the validity of your idea or you just want some help pinning down a good idea, ask away and help others out, too!Ī related sandbox I need to pitch is the Trope Idea Salvage Yard. Have an idea for a new trope, but don't know for sure if it's a good idea? Did Trope Finder give you similar concepts, but not exactly what you wanted? Are you just looking for a focus to a broader idea?
