Hi, I come here to release the perfectionist monkey hidden inside me. I usually visit the site until I get bored of it, come back, and repeat. I feel like a volunteer janitor sometimes, working to clean up a mess that will never be fully cleaned and gets dirty in different places.
If I haven't edited or contributed in a while, it probably means I'm happy. Or dead. Same difference. Edit 2026: I finally left for good and am doing well :)
My Video Examples A-Z listed by trope name are @ the bottom of this page
I discovered this site from searching up Don't Hug Me I'm Scared on my phone. I was on vacation in Las Vegas.
