it's fine that due to the ongoing pandemic a book tour for me is unlikely; mostly, I'm just excited for the TVTropes page

"Axiom's End contains examples of:

Never Trust the Poodle
'It' Is Dehumanizing
Heartbreaking: Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point
The Whole Plate. The WHOLE Plate.
Hambeast!
Big Bad
The Inherent Eroticism of the Sea
Punching Aliens in the Head"

can you tell without checking which of these I did NOT make up
