Fiction

Fiction is a medium used to tell stories that aren't true and most often have characters doing things or going through situations that are impossible in real life. Its existence in the world has been continuing almost ever since humans first began to populate the Earth. Today, it's enjoyed through numerous forms like movies, webseries, video games, webshows, comics, TV shows, and many others. Without fiction, the website you're using right now wouldn't be able to exist.

Fiction serves many of purposes — most of which are all related to expressing somebody's creativity — such as worldbuilding, immersing the audience in an alternate reality, or just to tell a story that likely couldn't happen in reality. Through the power of fiction, society as a whole has been shaped in many ways countless times through history.

Because not all contributors to the world of fiction can be 100% original, it's guaranteed to have a few specific events repeat through the franchises they create. These events are called troupes, better known as clichés, which are recurring elements that roughly follow the same pattern in how they occur (or are "played") in fiction. On UnTrash Wiki, troupes are nicknamed UnTrashes to also include elements that aren't considered true troupes like UnTrash Makes It Happen or Amirite.
