Middle-aged (although he's been doing this since he was still young) Australian who mostly keeps to himself. Been a troper for so long he still remembers when "YMMV" was a trope in its own right rather than an entire category of tropes. Loves anime, video games and speculative fiction movies and books; finds the mundane intensely boring. Favourite movie is Millennium Actress. Likes heavy metal and alternative rock music. Plays the violin and the shamisen. Currently struggling with clinical depression and a resurgence of the ADD that bothered him in his teenage years. Extremely pessimistic and negative about almost every aspect of existence. Has practically no friends and is subsequently extremely lonely. Currently attempting to make a career as a novelist, with a complete lack of success.
Wrote the original YKTTW for Stupid Sacrifice and created the tropes pages for Legends of Runeterra, Infinity Wars, DARQ, the Naruto fanfics Red, Medicinal Lullaby and Dead Garden, the The Hunger Games fanfic When The Moon Fell In Love With The Sun and most recently, his own Naruto fanfics Naruto: the Secret Songs of the Ninja and For Love. Has also contributed heavily to the pages for Iketeru Futari, Pig Bride, Guru Guru Pon-chan, Rose of the Prophet, The Legend of Huma, Robot Wars and Lucha Underground among many others. His most notable accomplishment so far in Troper-related culture has been doing the rewrite of the English-language script for the Russian-made eroge Everlasting Summer.
