For this week's StoryLab, I decided to explore the TVTropes website. It had a lot of interesting plot and character tropes that I liked, and below I've listed a few that I could see myself incorporating into either my storybook or into the weekly story retellings.
Favorite tropes:
-From beyond the fourth wall: help comes from outside the work that affects the plot in a very definite way
-Pyrrhic villainy: when the villain wins, but suffers as a result of that win
-Divine race lift: showing a deity with a standard appearance in a form people don't expect to see it in
-While Rome burns: When everyone is panicking about a major crisis except for one person, who is going about their business as usual

(Nero playing his lyre and singing as Rome burned, which is where the "while Rome burns" trope comes from. Source.)
