All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIX

[robkelk]

I do not object.

Anyone else object to my getting bureaucrat rights back? I'd love to do some tech work to improve things, but I cannot without those rights restored.

Have patience. Labster's looking for work, so it isn't a surprise that he hasn't weighed in yet, and I for one want to hear from all of the current bureaucrats before doing or not doing anything.

Sure, let's do it.  I think Geth figured out what the problem was, and hopefully also realized that he applied the Streisand Effect to his own opponents.  Sometimes the winning move is not to play.  Welcome back.

Done, and the "Contact Us" page has been updated. Welcome back to the bureaucrat team!

Incidentally I am not actually looking for work immediately.  Last week was a fun mix of family tragedy on Sunday, doctor visit for sinus infection on Monday, getting dismissed from work on Tuesday, wiping work computers Wednesday, sleeping half the day Thursday, looking for a lawyer on Friday, and just catching up on chores this weekend.

Oh, dear... Hope you're doing okay.

Changing gears... Do we have a trope for this? Or, for that matter, is there an industry-standard name for this?

A main supporting character has a plot arc that mirrors but doesn't duplicate the plot arc that the protagonist goes through during the work.

Example: Girls und Panzer, where Hana's plotline about her relationship with her mother mirrors Miho's plotline about her relationship with her mother.

What even is the name of the trope for B plot or side plot?

Two Lines, No Waiting - which I have just tagged as an esoteric Trope Name.

EDIT: And the links in that page include the one I'm looking for: Plot Parallel
