This week I decided to do a Story Lab over the TVTropes website. I was in for quite a surprise the moment I navigated to the website. As mentioned in the description, TV Tropes is not only about television but explores a wide variety of different types of storytelling whether it be through film, television, theatre, music, literature, or others. Some of the coolest ideas I found fell within these categories. Here is a bit more about what I discovered:
1. The Un-Hug
I originally navigated to this specific place on the site because I saw Donald Glover in the image. I was in fro quite a surprise when I started reading. The article begins speaking about the phenomenon that exist in smashing two bodies together and calling it a "hug". Sometimes this action goes smoothly and to plan while other times we find that we just can't seem to perfect the task. It's actually vert strange when you think about it and I cannot even imagine how the "hug" came into existence. I wonder what the first two huggers were doing when they decided to make this a thing.
2. Action Girl
I love that this article explores current popular social topics that we see in modern media. This article subtly brushes on feminism, the role of a woman in the household, and the balance between a busy woman at home and a busy woman in the career place. It does all of these things through the eyes of a superhero mom (Mrs. Incredible if you're familiar with the popular Disney animated film). I love the idea of addressing a controversial or taboo topic through a family-friendly, entertaining theme or plot. It defiantly makes certain pills easier to swallow and allows the audience to gain useful information while still being entertained enough to the point of becoming further educated.
