Fell Down a Rabbit Hole
Feb. 27th, 2009 02:27 pmEver found one of those evil, evil "rabbit hole" websites loaded with information where reading one page/entry inevitably leads to following a link to another related page/entry which inevitably leads to yet another until you realize you somehow lost forty-five minutes? Yeah. I give you TV Tropes.
A trope is (as used on the site) a familiar plot device, character type, etc. used in TV shows, movies, books, etc. The site breaks them down, gives them names (often based on a popular example) and offers lists of examples. A favorite of mine is the Crowning Moment of Awesome. And, I've now learned that my favorite characters are definitely Determinators.
Oh, yes, despite the rabbit hole distraction, I really am playing with my new toy. Art postings should be forthcoming soonish.
