What even is this place?

vtk · 2016-11-18 02:46:26

I kind of joined here on a whim and I can't figure out what it's about. But I think I might stay a while

Odradek · 2016-11-18 02:47:37

It was originally an offshoot of TvTropes for people who didn't like TvTropes anymore, and then it just kinda became a place for us to hang out.

Imipolex G · 2016-11-18 02:48:14

We talk about whatever

Salix Babylonika · 2016-11-18 02:48:18

Right so we're a spinoff of the "casual conversation" subforum on another website entirely. The name comes from a thread there called The Trash Heap.

So without that context I'm sure it all seems rather nonsensical.

Obā-san · 2016-11-18 02:49:45

with the context, it's still nonsensical

Salix Babylonika · 2016-11-18 02:50:29

Well I dunno.

There's really no singular point to the sight we just talk about whatever.

We kinda-sorta have become a de facto LGBTQ support forum to an extent, but that's not really the stated purpose.

And people joining, not knowing that context, just makes it more nonsensical. Which is a good thing, right?

Anonus · 2016-11-18 02:51:44

I guess!

Aren't you friends with Central Avenue?

Salix Babylonika · 2016-11-18 02:51:54

In a way, yes!

I don't think we've had any non-Tropers join for a while.

Does anyone know when the last one was? Eri maybe?

Anonus · 2016-11-18 02:52:38

Didn't you invite someone a few months ago?

Anonus · 2016-11-18 02:52:43

Who wasn't a troper?

Online-only for now, but yes.

Anonus · 2016-11-18 02:53:56

I'm her boyfriend

vtk · 2016-11-18 02:54:34

Neat.

Tangela Support but she doesn't post really.

Yarrun XIX · 2016-11-18 02:56:35

Hello, vtk person. Your confusion intrigues us

Crystal · 2016-11-18 03:04:06

Welcome.

Anonus · 2016-11-18 03:09:59

anyway, vtk, I have something to explain to you

Yarrun XIX · 2016-11-18 03:13:47

We shall induct you in the way of the ancestors. You shall walk the hall of the king and his child. You shall dine in the arena of the five singers. And when you habe picked your favorite gem and produced a ridiculous mene, we shall accept you

Imipolex G · 2016-11-18 03:15:10

this is our motto, by the way

Did I do something wrong?

Anonus · 2016-11-18 03:17:37

No.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-11-18 03:19:47

Always quote Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, at every opportunity.

It's cool to get new people from outside the ex-TVT bubble. (The last was Erio, but Sorrow and the elusive finalboss/Hydropolis are also from elsewhere.)

Section42L · 2016-11-18 03:22:08

I'm kinda half and half, since I had some minor activity on TVT and knew a few of you before coming here.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-11-18 03:26:46

This is true.

Have I produced any ridiculous memes here that have actually endured here? Nothing on the level of Waterbasket or Trial By Stone, I don't think...

Salix Babylonika · 2016-11-18 03:28:29

You being a ferret is a meme.

Section42L · 2016-11-18 03:28:43

pillow forts

Anonus · 2016-11-18 03:29:00

don't forget the WAND OF WATOOMB

Imipolex G · 2016-11-18 03:29:30

all my forced memes have failed, I think

Odradek · 2016-11-18 03:30:27

I don't think anyone but me talks about Trial By Stone

Salix Babylonika · 2016-11-18 03:34:26

I think we're small enough that they're more in-jokes than memes.

Section42L · 2016-11-18 03:34:50

Everett True honestly comes to mind first for me when I think of a Myr-originated meme.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-11-18 03:37:35

Fair.

That is technically Naney's joke, I think, from a conversation we had at the start of our relationship, although it's hard to say which one of us made it a thing.

Anonus said:

That's Odradek obviously but yes, that's an even better example.

Imipolex G said:

You've kind of made yourself memetic in your own right, though.

Odradek said:

I'm not sure, but it's a joke that everyone here immediately recognises when it's made, and applying it to actual politics is always a winner.

Pretty much. I was just running with Yarrun's framing there.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-11-18 04:02:08

touch the cow

do it now

Imipolex G · 2016-11-18 04:14:05

oh yeah
