*GLOMPS*

This troper has decided not to glomp anyone anymore after she broke one of her friend's ribs.

I love hugs (I'd rather have a sincere hug that insincere sex), so this is a given.

At Otakon 2008, this troper was Naked Snake. Stealth glomps on Eva, Boss, and even Ocelot (I swear I heard a squeal nearby when I did). Got caught trying to stealth glomp a guard, so I had to run and hide till the alert went away.

This troper thinks you had a yaoi fangirl that gave out the squeal.

Well squealing is the yaoi fangirl mating call. At least, FromACertainPointOfView.

This Troper was actually on a ''glomping high'' during the first term of his 7th Grade year, and continues to glomp people on occasion. He wants to be glomped back, though. And seeing as I've gotten the glomping bug, I might as well do it again this year! :D :D :D

And thanks to that, I nearly fractured someone's rib because of glompage.

My friend was dressed in a Loli costume and got Glomped by another friend. I had to catch them both so neither one got hurt on the concrete.

At an anime convention in Ohio, this troper was in a room where nothing in particular was scheduled -- just a few dozen people standing around chatting. In come two guys. One announces: "My friend here has never been glomped before--" before he could finish the sentence, seven or eight random people leaped onto the poor guy.

At another con in Ohio, this troper attended a glomping panel where one of the glomps demonstrated was less affectionate and more destructive. And taught to the first person who used it by the marines.

This troper was once nearly glomped at a sci-fi convention... while dressed like the scary puppet from the ''{{Saw}}'' movies.

At this troper's school, you can never be safe from a Glomp, even during classes. I've had many a secret-duringscienceclass-runtoyourtable-don'tletteachersee-glomps.

This troper gets glomped on a regular basis by his wife, who refers to it as "pouncing".

Does it end up with her on top of you, bloodily slashing at you ?

I say......

For some reason whenever i enter a chatbox with so much as one of my anime budies every one randomly glomps people, but i never get glomped cause im violent. I want to be.

*GLOMPS*

This troper does this to her brother a lot. She is always careful though.

This troper will glomp every single (same gender) friend she sees in the halls. They usually remark that they can't breathe.

This troper is often glomped by her friends. Her ''female'' friends. Please to be redirected to one of these.

This troper also gets a regular glomping from female friends. Course, it's less than sexy considering said friends take a running start and tackle like NFL linebackers.

This troper makes a point of screaming like a schoolgirl (ForTehLulz every time he receives a glomp. Which isn't nearly as often as he'd like.

I am a glomper with the dream to get glomped in a world where AllLoveIsUnrequited.

This troper not only received his first glomp at a recent New York anime convention, he convinced the same glomper to glomp the Companion Cube much to the confusion of the fellow holding it. ... there was no cake afterwards.

Of course not, the cake is a-- Aw, fuck it.

This troper has a cute female friend (who, unfortunately, has a boyfriend) who likes to do this to him whenever he visits her at work. She's glomped him ''from behind'' once.

This troper has a friend who tried to glomp him. Once. I say tried because said friend is 5'4'' and 220 pounds of muscle. It was more of a brutal takedown tackle than a greeting. I wasn't bleeding, but my head rang for the rest of the day.

Averted: this troper has never been glomped.

*glomps* :D

*SUPER GLOMPS*

My sister ''broke'' our friend once. We had arrived at an anime con early in the morning with advanced tickets, out friend arrived mid-morning and had to que. After establishing their location she hurtled over and took a flying leap, grabbing him around the neck (she's 5"4 hes pusshin 5"10) from behind. He stood frozen for a minute while we had hysterics.

At another con, I was glomped (immune to 'em due to my aforementioned sister) and found out that the friend of the glomper was a forum buddie of mine.

this troper will glomp anyone within range. If said person is reasonably small (pulled out back), the glomp may be accompanied by a lift and a little twirl.

Glomping is the traditional method of saying 'hello' among my {{Nakama}} and a number of my other friends. Hanging out with us can be hazardous to your health. (And sanity...)

You, too, huh? Any member of my nakama will glomp me on sight, usually with added screams of MOMMY! or MEGPIE! (which HORRIBLY detracts from the badass longcoat personma, btw...) and will usually glomp anyone with me on principal.

This male troper is a frequent target of this by his female friends. Good for the warm fuzzy feelings. :-)

I think this is the way my girlfriend says I missed you... because it hapens to me about every school day... ever I don't mind though I actually rather enjoy knowing she loves me so much... oh she's probly going to come to this page so HI girlfriend.

This troper has dubbed this his "Patented Flying Ninja Attack of DEATH (tm)", which has to be said every time he does it. At least it gives his victims fair warnings...

When this troper makes his monthly visit home from college, he actually cues his little sister to move across the room and run in an almost flying glomp. Any further and it'd be more like Hobbes pouncing Calvin.

This Male Troper is often the Glomp''er'', surprisingly enough. He only targets girls, however.

This one does this often. Even more so at anime cons. A friend of mine (Emily) was taken for a loop when a petite Asian girl got her from behind because apparently she had the same bag as her. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Sooo...what do you think of your experiences so far? I love the friendly atmosphere. #QUOTE#'''Emily''': I GOT TACKLED BY A TINY ASIAN GIRL!

And another one, this time involving my best friend Eric. He went to an anime con as Roy Mustang again, and pretty much got glomped by a young girl cosplaying Envy. He told me afterwards he pretty much got kidnapped by the girl and her friend (who cosplayed Edward Elric) for the rest of the con.

This troper, at Fanime 2009, was a piece in a game of cosplay chess, in the back rows. A particularly cute girl he had just met was on the opponent's team. When she got removed, she ran around the board, towards where he was, and glomped him...''from behind.''

I recently cosplayed Seto Kaiba to a local convention. Now I'm glad I made that white trench coat as heavy duty as I did because it would probably not have survived the 30 some glomps I received. (Actually, *I* barely survived them. I hate getting randomly tackled by people I don't know.)

Did you carry around a briefcase? Just to complete the costume?

This Troper regularly gives these out. They're memetically known as "killhugs". Also, whenever I get glomped by one of my friends, they get off fast. Reason? If they don't I'll basically flip them over my shoulder. Or fall on them.

This troper glomps her siblings and those she thinks of as siblings. They don't like it, but she does!

This troper once saw a glomp coming, sidestepped it, and watched the girl's momentum carry her forward directly into a faceplant. My girlfriend (who was with me at the time, no less) immediately launched into an Adam Sandler impression and said "something's wrong with HER medulla oblongata!"

This troper once went to visit his old school which he moved from. While he waited for recess, he busily looked at a random notice. Cue surprise side-glomp from the girl he likes. This happened again when he made a surprise visit to her house. Sigh...

I've done this. Ha-ha, the problem was that it was on a {{Tsundere}}.

@/MacPhisto got glomped when he dressed up as BobDylan.

Happened to This troper at the Anime Club Valentine's day party after drawing a Sasuke/Shikamaru picture for the local Fangirl}} yaoi fanboy. It went like this: -> Me: (getting chips) -> Fanboy: (glomp) ''I love you.'' -> Me: (inaudible feeling of dread and fear)

This Troper just got glomped by her 18 month old sister. Awwww Baby Glomp!!!!

Most of This Troper's friends in college were either ridiculously skinny and/or tiny, so couldn't be glomped without crushing, but that didn't stop them glomping almost everyone in sight. One of them is best described as a cybergoth Radical Edward, only slightly more unhinged and her glomps often ended with either biting or dry-humping. This Troper still has the scars on his arm after one of her biting-glomps, which was ''through'' a heavy leather jacket...

This troper got a pretty epic glomp from an Ichimaru Gin cosplayer at her last AnimeVegas after he spotted the Gin plushie hanging off her nametag. After their respective best friends started dating, the epic glomp of greeting became tradition for the pair. It has since been decided that, next year, this troper will be required to play Kira to his Gin just to see the yaoi fangirls squeal.

Gin's RL boyfriend is not pleased with this.

@/{{Carthestian}} again, reminding everyone he's 20. A girl at my school introduced herself while wearing a spring dress in the winter. The second time I meet her, I'm expecting a hug or something like, since she's coming my way and I'm the only person in the area. Nuh-uh. She breaks into a run and punches me in the stomach. This is now our customary greeting. Abusive woman.

This Troper gets glomped a lot by his online (and occasionally real-life) friends for the sole reason that he hates it. His screams of "Why?!" only serve to make them glomp him more...

My friends did that to me for YEARS before I finally adjusted to it. I never screamed, but apparently I did give some truly stunning glares that they were somehow oblivious to and asked them what in the name of Hades they thought they were doing.

This Troper has a friend who's petite, gentle, and sweet... and gives BONE-CRUSHING hugs.

Like any other high school student whose upperclassman sweetheart is about to graduate, I glomped my LoveInterest after the graduation ceremony. And did it again nearly a month ago while he was talking to a teacher with his back to the corridor I'd come running from, nearly knocking him off his chair in the process. The teachers who saw it just giggled.

This troper chronically glomps her grandmother whenever she feels like doing so. She used to be obsessed with hugging but now it's more so glomping-snuggling.

ThisTroper remember well a time he was glomped by his friend's cousin, who by the time was about 8, so hard she grounded ThisTroper, who was around 15. To make it complete she said "Got you now!" and people around ThisTroper just laughed until they shed tears.

One thing that makes all of this troper's friends flee is when she says, "Who wants a BIG hug?" Last year she literally knocked over her friend in a bookstore with a loud squeal of joy; the entire bookstore was staring at us.

This troper's sister just loves to do this to him. The last time I saw her at a club, she pushed her way through the crowd, yelled my name, and glomped me till I could barely breathe. It didn't help matters that she was kinda drunk and also began affectionately kissing me. :) As far as this troper goes, he isn't above glomping others as well. ^_^

This Troper lives by the rule of "Glomp and Let Glomp." After her high school graduation, she and her best friend went around glomping everyoe they wouldn't see for a while. The someone pointed out that I'd be going to college in New York, and my friend in Florida. Cue slow motion WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome running start glomp, culminating in the both of us falling to the ground and laughing madly as out {{Nakama}} laughed at our idiocy, before joining in. It counts as a CrowningMomentofHeartwarming, because our entire group was involved, and it was one of the last days all eight of us were toghether before our obligatory parting. :)

This troper was glomped quite a few times at a London anime con, despite not cosplaying beyond dressing up in his usual heavy metal style, with added cat ears and a tail sticking out the back of the trenchcoat. The 'free hugs' shirt he wore on the second day turned out to be very good bait for that.

It's a RunningGag for SunnyV to glomp one of the members of her {{nakama}} whenever they've been apart for a week or longer. Said friend doesn't appreciate this, but has come to expect it.

This Troper and her {{nakama}} use this as standard greeting procedure. We know something is wrong when one of us doesn't greet the rest of us after a long separation with a bone-crushing, gravity-defying hug-to-end-all-hugs.

Same goes for this lurker and some of her friends. Except the separation doesn't even have to be long.

I always, ''always'' do this to my best friend, when we see each other. Note that we see each other every day in school. I actually nearly broke her rib once. My other friends can be glomped too, but only after long separations. My best friend has started to call me "Bone-Crusher". Badass nickname, am I right?

This Tropette and her BFFs have found it's most fun when you have at least three people glomp the same person from separate directions.

One of my friends has made it his mission to glomp me every time he sees me.

Perhaps, sadly, This Troper has never been glomped. Perhaps it's size, or that OutOfTime - ness that I apparently have. Or the AuraOfEvil. Or the whole, "not always a fan of physical contact" thing.

Twice this Troper has been glomped by a (opposite gendered) friend of his, I cement this as definite proof of friendship, since I often have bouts of anxiety about such things.

This troper once faceplanted as a result of her own attempt to glomp. Friend I hadn't seen in a very long while and who I knew was okay with glomps and such, I went in for the flying tackle-glomp...and realized at the last second that said friend was holding her infant son and didn't see me. Much hilarity ensued when I explained why I had just crashed full-speed into the waist-high [[strike:solid]] crumbling brick planter.

A few years ago, this troper's boyfriend got her a time turner replica for Christmas. The following Valentine's day, to make a matching set, he got this troper a replica of Hermione's wand. Upon receiving both, this troper squeed like a school girl and glomped him, but the funnier one was upon receiving the wand. This troper glomped her boyfriend so hard he fell backward onto the couch with her on top of him, only for him to smirk and say sarcastically "Help, I've been glomped by a raving FanGirl."

This (brand new on this site) troper has never, ever been glomped. Most likely because he's very, very unattractive x3. -FlyingWalrus.

The best way to become the most popular person at an Anime convention? Have a 'Free Glomp' sign. This troper, who is often refereed to as a walking refrigerator wrapped in a blanket, spent New York Anime Fest walking around with said sign. There were people LINING UP to glomp me. Nothing makes an otaku girl's day like this exchange: #QUOTE# Girl: So can I glomp you? #QUOTE# Me: Do you wanna take a step back for a running start first? #QUOTE# Cue epic squeeing as said girl launches into me at terminal velocity. I am satisfied to say that I have never dropped anyone.

Repeated glomping in the middle of the local rock and metal night could have been improved only by the removal of the potentially deadly drop down the stairs, which necessitated irritatingly high levels of restraint.

This Troper Has many younger female friends (Not like THAT) who will {{Glomp}} him on sight. Hard. Often before he has time to notice them.

Subverted by this troper: he's had rather painful chest surgery, and currently has two metal bars inside his ribcage. He's not supposed to play contact sports or horse around on threat of dislodging the bars, possibly causing his lungs to be crushed. One day, an energetic and impulsive person tried to glomp him, and he panicked and sidestepped. The would-be glomper ended up hitting the floor, much to this troper's embarassment. Apologies were made on both sides after the situation was swiftly explained.

I got glomped off a moving bike... the bike flew out and gave the guy who was frantically running away from it a tire-shaped bruise, and I ended up sprawled on the ground with a massive rip in the knee of my jeans. And the glomper only did it so she could steal the bike. Which she ended up failing horribly at riding, to everyone's amusement. Additionally, another one of my female friends makes a point of suffo-glomping me or pinching my cheeks into oblivion...

Also, for my birthday two years ago, I suffered a MEGA-GLOMP, perpetrated by five people who all had running starts. The impact was so forceful that my glasses temple got bent out of shape and I had to hold it in the proper position.

This Troper once went to a con with a friend (who was dressed as a rather convincing Itachi) when a couple of girls ran up with the intent to glomp. Given my friend's petite size and my fear they might hurt her (they had some ''momentum'' going, man), I had to get between them and ended up tackled to the floor. Back hurt for the rest of the day, but no one else came near my friend after that display. Needless to say, for any future cons I plan to carry a "Do Not Glomp" sign...

One time, this troper's friend said that it was "hug a friend" day. I didn't believe her, but I thought it sounded funny, so I ran up to my other friend and hugged him. He was really confused.
