Throw Salt On The Wound



Oww + oww = super oww.

When a problem is made for someone by adding insult to injury. This can be achieved by taunting the enemy after their defeat, shaming someone after they've done something they themselves know was the wrong thing to do, or driving a car through a puddle and making the water wash over somebody who's currently playing a Sad Montage. God also has His ways of Throwing Salt On The Wound, coming in different shapes and sizes. One of them is obviously by making it worse where He takes someone's problem and messes around with them by putting up reminders of their problem everywhere they go. Another option is by proving Spacetime Hates You by throwing a Blocker Train or some Glass Pane Guys in somebody's way as they Gotta Be Unlate or are in a Chase Scene.

UnStat Avg.: 3.56 (C)

''Throw Salt On The Wound is an UnTrash that doesn't achieve any one of its goal well. Firstly, its two lowest stats, Emotion and Reform, tied with a lowly 3 points. The audience hardly cares for that by-the-books "person glumly walking down the street and getting splashed by a passing car" scene. Additionally, the UnTrash solely serves the purpose of emphasizing somebody's unhappiness, so the impact it has on the canon is minimal. Though the range of possibilities for Throw Salt On The Wound is wide, most writers stick to the exemplified standard referenced two sentences ago. This stubbornness to discovering new views of the UnTrash dents its Variety and Innovation, taking a point off each stat's average. Throw Salt On The Wound is ultimately given the lackluster score of 3.56 for an average, a mid-C Tier position. The shameful fact is how its potential is unable to come forth as storywriters refuse to play the UnTrash beyond the worn-out rainy day scene we all know too well. Related UnTrashes like Get Ogred can potentially help raise the average, and aiming Throw Salt On The Wound at someone other than the Main can pull Innovation up.''
