Here is a list of the most widely-known and oft-referenced [[trope]]s we have on this entire site. If you're new to All The Tropes, this list will provide a good basis for understanding our... erm... [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary|unique vocabulary]].

Line 81 ⟶ 82:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Events lead a character to kill themself.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: [[Starfish Aliens|Incomprehensible aliens]] or demons from beyond, like Cthulhu.
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: Civilization or life ([[EarthshatteringEarth-Shattering Kaboom|sometimes the entire planet]]) getting destroyed.
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: [[Wild Mass Guessing|Wild, off-the-wall fan theories and speculation]] about a show's murkier plot points and characterizations.
** [[Jossed]]: The [[Word of God]] shoots the theories down.
Line 225 ⟶ 226:
** A [[Gambit Roulette]] is either a [[Xanatos Gambit]] or a [[Batman Gambit]] that relies upon improbable coincidences and things the planner could not possibly know, but works anyway.
* [[X Meets Y]]: Stock show pitch -- the premise is a combination of two well-known and well-liked things, with the hope that the new thing is greater than the sum of its parts.
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: She's crazy about you. Literally.
