clichés and tropes

I am only going to list these and not explain them as I'm sure we all know them when we see them.

Also, most of these are actually enjoyable to read when written well. So if you think you can write them well, have at them.

Except for orbs. If I see one more person use the word "orbs" I'm going to blow up the planet.
