I am genuinely fond of these two tropes! [READ BEFORE COMMENTING]

The tropes are: Beware of the nice ones and Beware of the silly ones.

When a character is a goofball comedic relief with a kind and friendly heart, until they need to get serious which always makes me smile. These characters just want to have a good time, share some laughs, and make friends. Even when they know when it’s time to get serious, turn off the silly, stop joking around and telling jokes, then get angry or sad within the appropriate situation. It’s even better when other characters were not expecting it at all, except for one or two characters. I love that they can still enjoy life and be an absolute goofball yet be more than that when the situation calls for it. I love it because everyone doesn’t expect that from them in the slightest because of how they present themselves. The reality is that they can only be that way for so long. They can’t be silly and nice forever, sometimes they have to be a rude asshole or sarcastic douche-bag when it’s warranted.

These types of characters are the WORST characters to piss off. It’s common in real life which is no surprise, sad yet true. You wouldn’t like it when these characters are angry.

Sometimes the character can be a combination of both tropes or one or the other.

My Turns:

Project Glorious

In Red Reign so far, I have one character that’s embodiment of this trope and more.
Kali is a nice, silly and friendly girl from the countryside who loves her wife and to help her brother and her father back home, along with her wife’s siblings as being the sole supporter to her family. Yes, Kali is goofy and loves to meet new people along with making friends. Though Kali is not a violent person, she isn’t some pushover. The woman will murder and/or beat the ass of anyone who threatens her wife, her family, her friends, and even herself. Kali is also not the brightest and yet she has her moments. I am going to love reading over her character development later in the story.

What about you guys? The character doesn’t have to be that extreme or exaggerated in regards to the trope.

I love it even when the character goes non-violent. The only beatings are mentally and emotionally and the truth.

Reminds me of Father Abel Nightroad. No clue how bad he can be until he snaps and say, “You are food.”

Stuck with me for years.

I should have the whole thing on DVD. But then, I remember seeing Vampire Hunter D not long after it made it to Blockbuster.

There’s always older out there.

Like I remember The Highlander movies, cartoon, and tv show, and love the Queen song for it.

I just began watching short clips of the TV show Rogue Heroes, about the British SAS in the Second War. Most of the main characters would qualify for one or both of those tropes.

Idk if I have any of those.

I liked to do that “big evil in little packages” thing where characters undermine some character because they seem weak or too young. But that person ends up being the worst person ever to cross paths with.

Also, I have maniacs who seems sweet one moment, but then they’re actually blood-thirsty and dangerous.

Idk if I have characters who are dangerous once they meet their limits. Press too many of their buttons and they become your worse nightmare type… I can think of someone else’s character XD She’s sunshine, if sunshine was a person, but cross her, and she’s a skilled killing machine.

I like that trope too. I like the whole “looks can be deceiving” characters.

The whole wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing-characters.
