VidUKon Vidshow help - Tropes!

[purplefringe]

As everyone else seems to be doing it - hi internets, please help me with my VidUKon vidshow! The theme is TROPES, and if anyone can think of a better title than such_heights's suggestion of 'Tropetastic!', please do let me know :-)

So, this is hopefully going to be a joyful show celebrating all the fun that can be had with the tropes that crop in in all our favourite shows. Obvious examples include time loops, doppelgangers and bodyswaps. Tropes can also be character types - the dorky scientist, the badass warrior woman, the unlikely hero...you get the picture. I'm interested in patterns and parallels, so there will probably be a lot of multifandom vids in this show - but if anyone has recs for tropey vids that are confined to a particular fandom (particularly long-running shows like Doctor Who or Star Trek), those are awesome too.

Please rec me vids! When I put together the Constructed Realities show last year, everybody's suggestions were incredibly helpful. Even if you think a vid is really obvious and I've probably seen it, remind me about it anyway! And self-recs are very much encouraged :-)

Aaaaah thank you for all of these! :-D Omg I Wish I Was James Bond is EXCELLENT. I agree - it's definitely super tropey and should be in there. I'm sorry your cat ate your comment - perhaps it was jealous of Julian Bashir's beautiful face.

Phoebe phoebe phoebe I'm hoping to use 'I wish I was James Bond' in my spiiiiies show, if that's OK?! :D? Like obv see what else we both come up with but figured I'd stake my claim! Can we haggle? :D?

(Re-posting in a more sensible place.)

Cleo Cleo Cleo...that's fine :-P I'm sure if it were up to the lovely Julian Bashir, he would much rather identify as a Spy than as a Trope, even if both are true, so I shall graciously concede the vid to you :-)

BUT IN RETURN please rec me tropey vids! I think you may have some ideas and/or feelings on this subject?

Yaaay, you are the best, thank you! :D <3

Tropey vids, you've got Skins. Did Amy actually make that one on hands and hand-holding?? And didn't Charmax have one on femeslashy cliches, that 'I'm Your Man' one, or something? (I shall ponder further.)

Here's a link for I'm Your Man which also occurred to me.

Also thingswithwings' We Go Together is all about the trope of (especially) Guys Talking About Things In Bathrooms.

Oooh, thank you! :-)
