Isn't it a law that links to TV Tropes have to come with a warning about time lost on the site?
I read the summary in the link provided and then left the site without problems. The whole ordeal took less than a minute.
In short: There's hope, buddy. You can do it. Take one step at a time, and you will find your way. I wish you all the best!
Ahh, see, you're definitely not troping properly. Though probably intelligently.
Oh God, thank you for this. Found my next read!
