What's your pet peeve when it comes to tropes? What bothers you when you see it in a show or a movie? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'll go first. Mine is the instant knockout drug. Like Dexter's intramuscular injection that causes someone to immediately lose consciousness. Or in the movie Split where there's the aerosol spray in your face that makes you instantly unconscious. Or pretty much any time someone uses chloroform.

Depends on if what I said would be a spoiler for you or not...

It would not. I've read everything that's come out. Did you?

Yeah, unless there's a new short story or something. Caught up on all the mainline stuff. Like I said, my least favorite trope. How did you feel about it? Still my number one ongoing series, but that just bugs me really badly

I'm an idiot that can't get spoiler tags to work for some reason so sent pm

For all the others, read the Dresden files! Or get the audiobooks read by James Marsters aka Spike from Buffy. He's doing a phenomenal job, imo.

I love Marster's reading of them. He's freaking incredible
