Stereotypes and Cliches

Look, people, I am freaking sick and tired of all of this stereotypical and cliche crap. I made an official list of all of the fanfiction stereotypes for future references and purposes. Viz names will be used for personal reasons.
 

-Shy Little Yellow: The idea(s) that Yellow is in some way weak, shy, or freakishly overly pacifistic. She is also often portrayed as vulnerable. Oh, and a freakin' cinnamon roll.

-Mr. Dense McOblivious: Another fanon idea that Red is super dense, sometimes not even knowing what the words "love" and "romantic relationship" mean.

-Mr."I Do Not Care"Oak: The fanon idea that Blue Oak is a jerk to everyone, despises Green with all of his heart and soul, and has absolutely no humor whatsoever.

-Flirtypants: The rather irksome stereotype that Green flirts shamelessly with every single boy, always teaming up with Ruby and/or Gold, always playing matchmaker for (usually) Red and Yellow and/or Gold and Crystal. 

-Golden: The strangely unnoticeable stereotype/cliche that Gold has no sense of discipline, and must always have a huge crush on Crystal and/or Silver, but annoys them in the process of trying to get some sort of a romantic relationship.

-Prissy Crystal: The incredibly annoying stereotype that Crystal turns from annoyed with Gold to in love with Gold, usually shedding many, many unnecessary tears and Gold having to comfort her all the livelong day and suddenly they "realize their true feelings" and get married and stuff. 

-NAME IS SILVER, BACK OFF.: The fanon idea that Silver, because of his dark past, has an excuse to be mean and cuss at everyone and beat up Gold and talk back to Crystal. Fanon Silver is never seen without his "Big Sis" Green, and states that they simply cannot have any sort of relationship that is above sibling-like because Silver says he wants what is best for Green and decides to "marry her off" to Blue because that always makes her happy.

-Roob: The somewhat annoying fanon idea that Ruby still completely despises battling, and that he is harsh and cold to people, especially Sapphire.

-WILD CHILD WAZZUP!: The overly common idea(s) that Sapphire Birch either stays ridiculously tomboyish, pleads with Ruby to notice her, and/or becomes super girly and leaves everything she did in the wild behind, wearing a pretty dress to her and Ruby's wedding.

-Grumpy Dwarf-Human: The incredibly mind-murdering cliche that Emerald stays the height he is, always has a Silver-Green-Sibling-Like relationship with Crystal, and is forced to stay single forever.

-Fat Boy: The stereotype that seems to forget that Diamond is not completely and totally an angel, actually cooks food instead of eating it 24-7, and that he is simply "not worthy" to be with Platinum.

-SCREAMY PANTS!!!!: The fanon idea that Pearl always hits Diamond and cannot quit yelling, no matter what.

-Miss Lady Platina Platinum: The fanon idea that Platinum cannot hold her ground in a fight without help and she is just a cinnamon roll that is too naive to go out into the world. She is often spotted repeating jokes about lying over and over and over and over again.

More coming soon.
