And the patterns often have variations, and are sometimes "subverted" or appear in contrast to the common form of them

If you think about it, the line between fiction and nonfiction is pretty blurry when it comes to late night shows like Colbert's. Even though they're based on actual news events, they still use fiction tropes to create narratives about them for the sake of entertainment.

Yes true

This is one trope where the tvtropes article focused on the fictional variants of the trope, but I'm more interested in looking at the reality variants... Battle in the mind between conflicting parts psychologically and involving real and complicated situations.

Me too!

Tvtropes as weapons used against each other -- awh that's sad!

Like how, if you want to give an example? Saying it's wrong to do something different than a trope says?

Transmuting abuse through story

And through performing it on one another. Gosh.
