Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The books[]

  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Heimertz's Big Damn Heroes moment, followed soon after by Nod casting out the Knightleighs.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming:
    • The twins' reunion in Frost Bites, after Edgar had briefly thought Ellen dead. For some reason, the text doesn't mention the hug they share, but an illustration shows it, and it is glorious.
    • Their reunion in Split Ends as well, although the dramatic tension is considerably lightened by their exchange beforehand.
    • Heimertz and Dahlia's wedding in Hot Air. These two went through a lot to get to this point.
  • Growing the Beard: Under Town was where the series truly started to shine, with continuity starting to come into play and the first mysteries being introduced. And that's not even going into the reveal of the Mason's character, or the bittersweet ending.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Stephanie definitely crosses this line in Frost Bites, when she arranges for Edgar and Ellen's deaths. She would have crossed it sooner when she buried them underground in Nod's Limbs, except that she was counting on the balm spring keeping them alive, albeit trapped for who knows how long.
Cquote1

 Edgar: Stephanie, don't do this! You don't want our blood on your hands!

Stephanie: Of course I don't. That's why I'm wearing gloves.
