Category:Ladder UnTrashes

''Look, we know Ladders on UnTrash can be really complicated and weird. That's why there's a "quick" guide to Ladders below. Of course, if you don't care for how to use Ladders, scroll down to the list of pages.''

What's a Ladder and what does it mean?
A Ladder is a listing of how UnTrashes are related to each other. It's made of three parts: Bubbles, Modes, and Ladder lists.

Bubbles
Bubbles are simple. They're there to tell the reader where that UnTrash can be found in media (TV shows, anime, movies, etc.). An UnTrash can be in more than one Bubble if it's fitting in that Bubble. For example, Why Do We Have Him With Us? is in the Bubbles TV series, Movies, Anime, Books, Video Games, and Comics. Note that Multi cannot be a Bubble as too many UnTrashes would be placed in it.

Modes
Modes are adjectives used to describe an UnTrash. They also make it easier to figure how UnTrashes are related. But for two UnTrashes to be linked and put on the Ladder together, they must be similar in context, not just Mode.

Modes List
Annoying [For UnTrashes that are irritating to see show up in media.]

Bad [Antagonism stuff goes here.]

Badass [Some pretty cool stuff.]

Childish [Is that something an adult would do? If not, throw that UnTrash here.]

Comedic [General version of Funny. What's in Comedy doesn't have to be funny, it just has to be meant to be.]

Crappy [Useless, pointless, and unlikable UnTrashes go here.]

Good [Protagonism stuff goes here.]

Hated [If this UnTrash is applied to a character due to how hated they are by the audience, this is the Mode to go to.]

Identical [Used if an UnTrash on a Ladder list has all of the same Modes as the base UnTrash or more.]

Mature [As in "violence, sex, drugs, and so on" mature. Not "being an upright, decent, tolerable member of society" mature.]

Noice *click*. Sexy roles, moments, and other UnTrashes are listed here.]

Oblivious [Has to deal with ignorance of some sort.]

Recurring [An UnTrash that's a negatively common (clichéd) element in its Bubble.]

Smart [Wise character roles, moments of even the briefest intelligence, and good ol' high-IQ joy.]

Stupid [Either this UnTrash is stupid or related to stupidity.]

Ladder Lists
Finally, the Ladder lists. Since we can't have our Bubbles, Modes, and UnTrashes running around freely, we need to keep them in order with lists. Just like Modes, they're used to describe the UnTrashes, but in a more creative way.

Ladder Lists... List
Friends With - Used for UnTrashes that are similar without being similar. Really just used to bend the rule of "UnTrashes must be related in Mode and context" just a teensy bit.

Greater - Used for role UnTrashes almost exclusively. Shows the more extreme versions of that UnTrash.

Lesser - Can only really be used for role UnTrashes. Shows the related role UnTrashes less intense than that of the main UnTrash.

Parallel - Like Greater and Lesser, Parallel can't be used outside of role UnTrashes. Gives the reader a list of UnTrashes that only slightly differ with gender, context, or what else.

Within - Used if an UnTrash could "describe" other UnTrashes. For example, Desperate Marketing could be a category for, well, desperate marketing. But not an actual category like the page you're on right now.
