People like to dunk on TvTropes for being a bunch of nerds who spend too much time cataloguing media and listing all the tropes in it, but it's honestly an underappreciated resource. There are few centralized websites that have such a spread of information on them.
Is it important to catalogue that in episode 53 of Star Catcher Jakobson IV, his left nut gets smacked with a hammer and that that's an example of the "Accidental CBT" trope? Not immediately, but it may be important if that ever becomes lost media.
Also, sometimes I forget exactly which episode a particular event in a series I've watched happens in, and TVTropes usually has my back on that. It also helps me catch up on characters from series that I watched or partially read a decade ago, since series's typically have an attached Characters page as well.
The Trivia pages for them, too! I've found out interesting information about production from things I've idly read about that I likely never would have found out about.
In summary, I think TVTropes is an amazing resource for information about what exactly happens in a work - Wikipedia's synopses are usually either incomplete, short summaries to avoid spoilers, or full blocks of text describing the entire story. IMDB is a back-of-the-movie style summary. Fandom fucking sucks as a wiki website, and most other Wikis that aren't Fandom aren't used and/or aren't regularly kept up-to-date. Miraheze is a good non-fandom website, though.
One thing I disagree with is them not allowing adult content and whatnot, which was a change I was there to witness - due to google not allowing ads if they kept pages about fetishes and hentai games and whatnot on the site. However, you can still go to alternate trope sites like AllTheTropes for that content.
Just remember that if TVTropes was gone and those nerds weren't cataloguing every bit of info about your favorite and least favorite media in excruciating detail with a cringey flair, you'd have to wade through incomplete Fandom Wikis and pages that exist but are completely empty, or that redlink to absolutely vital pieces of information.
Anyways I despise Fandomwiki

I think several members of the Justice League hate the Batfamily because every one of them — every single one — has the same, Batman-esque look on their face when they know something you don’t. Which they do. Frequently. Just like the fucking Bat.

To all those shippers that depict Sirius as a self-absorbed, short, fem twink with a flare for dramatics -- and Remus as a tall, angry, buff, dom werewolf daddy -- go ahead, it's a fully rounded dynamic! You're actually shipping Gilderoy Lockhart x Fenrir Greyback though! Remember to tag correctly folks! Hope this helps 🥰 🥰

no but really let’s talk about the dynamic between the older gen spideys vs young gen spideys for a moment, because it’s really got me fucked up.
miguel and all the older gen spideys seem so entirely accepting of all these “canon compliant” rules, because those rules absolutely validate the trauma that every one of them has gone through. the idea of “oh our pain had a reason, oh our heartbreak was for something after all” is a VERY powerful notion that—understandably—they welcome with open arms because they have already lived it.
but the younger gen spideys…. yes, most of them have bought into miguel’s logic for most of the movie, because of course you’re going to listen to the 1,000,000 adults all telling you the same thing when you’re fucking fifteen and desperate for any semblance of mentorship. and it sure does make a lot more sense when you yourself have also experienced a similar trauma to all the others.
but that’s exactly it, isn’t it? they’ve all experienced the same trauma—
that miles and pav have not.
so, no. actually, fuck your rules. and really, fuck your demands that i must suffer what you suffered just because you cannot accept me without it. and good on miles for saying it—good for all of the spideys who realized he was right—realized he was asking all the right questions instead of drawing all the wrong conclusions.
(yet. for all my anger i feel towards the older gen for pressuring him in that way….i also understand why they cling so desperately to these stupid “canon” rules. because, if miles can manage to resist it—if he or gwen or pav can escape what they never could—then suddenly, they have to ask the question of:
“what didn’t i do right?”
and
“was all that pain really for nothing?”
and accepting your life after having to ask those questions instantly becomes much more difficult.)

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.
And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.
And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.
And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?
Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.
Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.

Do not ever tell me that Aziraphale is being selfish here.
Never. Not once. If you try to even start, shut your fucking mouth.
Do you know how hard it is to admit something like this when you're not even supposed to want anything?
Gabriel was surprised the first time he was given a gift.
Aziraphale is telling Crowley he wants to make things better, but he doesn't think he can do it without Crowley.
He is pouring his heart out right here. He doesn't think he can do enough good without Crowley. He wants to make Heaven better, but he thinks he needs Crowley to make it happen.
This is the one time that Crowley cannot help him, but that doesn't mean that what Aziraphale is doing is wrong.
Me saying that Aziraphale isn't doing anything wrong by going back to Heaven doesn't mean I'm saying Crowley is wrong for the choice he made either. Neither of them is wrong. This is not a black and white situation.
Aziraphale told Crowley he needed him while the Metatron was within hearing distance.
Let me say this as loudly as possible for you, m'kay?
AN ANGEL JUST TOLD A DEMON HE NEEDS HIM.
We all remember how that's a no-no, right?? That's exactly the kind of language Aziraphale always avoided because even ducks have ears. And the one time he used that kind of language was when the Metatron was waiting to take him back to Heaven because the Metatron knows about their history.
The last time Heaven implied that Aziraphale and Crowley were together, Sandalphon punched him in the stomach.
But go off with how Aziraphale is so selfish and only ever thinks about his own wants and needs after he bared his heart to Crowley in front of the fucking Metatron. Go off with how you keep proving you didn't understand the first thing about Aziraphale and Crowley's shades of grey discussion from 1941.
Be mad at Aziraphale if it helps you heal, but don't assassinate his character by turning him into someone he's not just because you're desperate for your villainized version of him to be real.
Crowley wouldn't stand for that shit because he's perfectly capable of taking care of himself.
