"Oh my gosh what's this feeling I'm having???"

"You mean pure happiness? That's probably because you just saw a Raphaella."
Raphaella by Witchgang December 9, 2019
A name; commonly given to those of overwhelming intelligence, indisputable potential, exceedingly high SAT scores.

Silent, skinny, and shy, yet braver, bolder, brasher than any mortal you could hope to meet, Raphaels approach life with a quiet, yet brazenly authoritative audacity, which is unfortunately often misinterpreted as arrogance.

A justified and righteous arrogance, but arrogance nonetheless.

However, Raphaels are still widely and wildly loved, for not only their large, dense, muscles and innate athleticism, but for their ability to influence through the humanities. Painting, piano-playing, essay writing, baking, animating, singing, movie making -- trades of which the talent of a Raphael is unmatched, unrivaled, unlimited.

Despite their artistic prowess, Raphaels are innovators at heart; programming virtuosos, lovers of not only the arts but of technology: painters who program, bakers who build.

To know Raphael is to know life.
"Raphael does everything!"

"I wish I were like Raphael..."

"Raphael can bench 846 pounds."

Raphael by Bex September 12, 2017
A character from the anime/book/manga series, The Rising of the Shield Hero. She appears as a woman in her mid-twenties, with long orange hair and raccoon-like ears and tail. What makes her special in the series is that, like all "demi-humans" (referred to as half-animals in the anime), her maturity is based on how fast she "levels up" (in the world that ROTSH takes place in, it is similar to an RPG and has a similar levelling-based system.). This results in her eventually having more physical growth compared to mental growth.

In the anime, she is partnered with the Shield Hero (there are four "cardinal heroes" in the anime), Naofumi Iwatani. She and Filo (another character) often argue over him on certain matters.

Also, she gets lewded, which results in two different fanbases: the "Protect Raphtalia" fanbase and the "Lewd Raphtalia" fanbase.
Friend: Hey, have you heard of the Rising of the Shield Hero?
Me: Yeah, it's great!
Friend: Yeah, I like Raphtalia! She's the best character!
Me: .......agreed, my friend
Raphtalia by Abyss the Hybrid March 9, 2019
A person who's life is fueled by his passion for something on which others often look down on- often a very special person or hobby, a Raphael sees the bright in everything and sees talent and beauty when it comes his way. He can put the most complicated emotional feelings to paper. Often made fun of because his endless forgiveness, he will always forgive you if he knows you are being honest. He will never judge you and will always treat people he doesn't know with the greatest respect imaginable. If you are close to a person like this, you will never be able to let them go. Any person he dates will always love him no matter what. But hurt this person too much, you will learn the the forgiveness is not endless anymore and once you cross that line, you will regret it forever. Ask for forgiveness though, and he will probably forgive you. People like this are rare.
wow, look at him, he is the only one being nice to the biggest idiot of the school, how does he do it?
-I don't know, he must be a Raphael.

I just met this guy and we had the most interesting conversation I've had in years. I feel like my soul has been refreshed and my outlook on life revived.

-I know who you were talking to... it was a Raphael!

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
