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.
Towards the end of the book, as Johnny reaches his lowest point, homeless and near-insane, he suddenly comes across a pair of friends who take him in and help him get clean. Except he was lying- and not to us. He was trying to convince himself that someone would care enough.
"there was no tom there i was no tom there".
The pekinese story, anyone?
Delial.
The fact that Johnny's mother kills herself at the end of the letters. Amplified by the fact that she makes it sound like the Director is letting her out of the insane asylum.
The entire scene with Jed after Navidson and Reston find him and Wax in the labyrinth. You think "it's really going to be okay!". And then he gets shot right in the head. The worst part? He doesn't die immediately.
