There Tropes not cliche, you fool. A cliche, is a saying, expression, or idea which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning, rendering it a stereotype. A trope on the other hand is a "figure of speech." In storytelling, a trope is just that — a conceptual figure of speech, a storytelling shorthand for a concept that the audience will recognize and understand instantly. Those familiar with Stylistics might know of Roland Barthes 'Codes' - it's the same idea here (There's even a Rags To Riches 'Code'). According to the Codes theory, a Code/Trope is an attempt to "give meaning to what would otherwise be a series of happenings. They are... constructs and patterns of behaviour."

 

Trope and Cliche are one and the same, trope is something people use to seem smarter by saying a ton of terms nobody even knows.
Also, nice Wikipedia answer, you should read further down the page though.

 

Erm

Cliches are ideas used to the point where everybody is ****ing annoyed by them and are not original at all.
For example, your definition of cliche - Does it describe the movie cliche of the evil villan explaining his plans to the hero?

 

*hits kika with a stick* They are not the same. Everything has tropes, no arguement. Above all, a trope is a convention. It can be a plot trick, a setup, a narrative structure, a character type, a linguistic idiom... It's like porn; you know it when you see it. When the trope itself becomes intrusive, distracting the viewer rather than serving as shorthand, it has become a cliche.

 

Looks like somebody's been on tvtropes too often.

 

Yes, nor do I care.

 

I see you're stubborn. Come back with an open mind and we can have this discussion again. Keep realations to porn out of it as well, the two are nothing a like, as if someone playing a game could just go listing off every 'trope' or cliche they see.

 

Yes, but to anybo--

My god, why do I even bother.

 

*sigh* Why do I even bother any more?

 

...............well. I have nothing to say here.

 

...
Well, now that the mood is perfect...


NAKED PARTY?

 

Where did everyone go?

 

Man, things get intense when I'm not around.

 

Well thats what happens when me and kika argue.

 

Kekekekeke Intense.
THAT WAS SOME INTENSIVE SEWING GUYS, LET'S TAKE A BREAK BEFORE WE FINISH MAKING THESE PILLOW CASES.

I keep missing Kiryu, this is sad, I had a very important topic of discussion. Or I think it was, I forget.
Why haven't we set up a day for all the members to get together at the same time yet?

 

PILLOOOOOOW!!! PILLOOOOOOOW!!!

Isn't It Sad, Kika?

Because we're all lazy.

 

Yeah, we should set up a time...now the real question is can we uphold it???....

 

Alright, either ever second day or at least two days to a week we should have a set time. Can we agree to that?

I can do the math, let's see if we can get something that will work for everyone or close to. What's the good and bad times for you people? I can replan if needed if any members add in data that's not compatable with alrerady set times.

Okay guys, simple task here:
What days and times are good for you? What days and times are you unable to be at?
So nobody is 5 hours off, I also need timezones.
Preferably like UTC +/- <insert number here>

Here, this is messy but you can figure out your timezone with this.

everything left of the 0 is a negative number.

 

With science!

I have no idea what you just said.

 

*facepalm*
I really have no way to make it any simpler than it already is.
