In the middle of New York City, characters from the old stories and fairy tales live among us in exile. Bill Willingham has taken characters we've grown up with, including Snow White, Bigby (a.k.a the Big Bad) Wolf, Jack Horner, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Boy Blue, the Frog Prince and many more, and spins them into a realistic, modern day setting.The characters we, the people of the Mundane World, thought were fictional have come to the real world to escape The Emperor/The Adversary, a despotic conqueror of tremendous power who rules over The Empire. Eventually, a number of these characters, heroes and villains alike, decide to put aside their differences and stick together in their own community. Old crimes are forgiven by signing a compact which makes them a citizen of this community, and also forbids them from revealing their true nature to the "mundies". Non-human characters who can't afford a spell to make them look human are consigned to a secluded "farm" in Upstate New York. However, those old crimes are rarely, if ever, forgotten; a major early plot point is that Bigby Wolf is banned from said "farm" for all the atrocities he committed before he reformed.The series has encompassed mysteries, adventure, romance, conspiracies, magic, culture clashes, and fly eating, and has to date won 14 Eisner Awards. As of 2008, it's the most popular Vertigo Comics title. As of 2010 Fables was the second longest running Vertigo title after Hellblazer. The series initially came to an end with its 150th issue in 2015; however on June 10, 2021, it was announced to resume in 2022 under the DC Black Label imprint with its 151st issue, for another 12 issues.On the 15th of September, 2023, Willingham released Fables into the public domain, both as part of his own philosophy on copyright terms and to get back at DC Comics for what he alleges are continuous attempts to screw him out of royalties, make creative decisions without his input, and even an attempt to wrest control of the IP from him entirely. Despite this, DC Comics has denied Willingham's claims, stating that its their intellectual property and that it isn't in the public domain. What this means for the comic's status remains unclear as of right now.Spin-Off media includes: Fables: The Last Castle (2003) Jack of Fables (2006-2011) Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall (2006) The Literals (2009) Peter & Max: A Fables Novel (2009) - A novel about Peter Piper and his estranged brother, Max.

It is confirmed to be canon and a Prequel to the comic. Fables: The Wolf Among Us (2014-2015) - The Comic-Book Adaptation of the game. The Wolf Among Us 2 (TBA, tentative 2024) Everafter: From the Pages of Fables (2016-2017) Batman vs. Bigby! A Wolf in Gotham (2021-2022) - A six-issue Crossover mini-seriesNot to be confused with Xbox Game Studios' Fable video game series.

Kill the God
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_10add6ee
comment
Kill the God: A lot of gods die in this comic series, but probably not as genocidal as what the Literals did. Mr. Revise once remarked to Jack Horner that when the Literals first arrived in the Mundy World, they culled down all the gods, deities, and other supernatural and celestial creatures, in an effort to remove magic there, thus creating what was essentially a world that is mundane. Their animosity towards fables stems from the fact that all of their efforts were broken when fables, who are magical in nature, began immigrating to the Mundy World in droves.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Bigby and Snow. In the early issues, she shoots him down whenever he tries to flirt with her, but eventually reveals that it was more her being put off by his half-assed attempts, and implies she wouldn't turn down a direct request for a date. When she gets pregnant after their enchantment-caused liaison, she is initially angry at him (he knew about it from her scent as soon as he woke up from the enchantment, but didn't tell her) and is at first intensely worried about the damage to her image, then spends several weeks avoiding Bigby. But when the Adversary's army of wooden soldiers attack Fabletown, Bigby saves the day. Finally realizing the depth of his love for her, she dashes downstairs(heavily pregnant, and in the pouring rain) and gives him a gigantic hug in front of pretty much everyone of importance.

Heroic BSoD: Rose Red spends month hiding in bed, refusing all contact and her Farm duties after Boy Blue dies. Only intervention by her long-dead mother's ghost finally snaps her out of it. Darien, when realizes he needs to sacrifice himself in the "Cubs in Toyland" arc. His plaintive question "Will it hurt?" is just heartbreaking. Therese, in the same "Cubs in Toyland" arc, once she realizes what Dare has done. She huddles on a castle ledge, barely eating, barely acknowledging her toy subjects, for years before she finally brings herself out of it.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Fables = Jews, Empire = Roman Empire, Haven = Israel. "Next year, in the homelands." It was the Romans who invaded Israel, burned the Temple, and forced the Jews into exile in order to make Israel part of the Roman Empire - much like how the Adversary chased the Fables into exile when he made their Homelands part of his empire. When Jews say "Next year in Jerusalem", or refer to the Diaspora (exile), that's what they're referring to. The short "In a Castle Dark", in the "Farewell" arc. All the frames, especially the establishing shots of a tall building with smoke pouring out of it and the dialog of the fire fighters, strongly evoke 9/11 in NYC, just before the World Trade Center fell. One of the fire fighters talking about how the upper levels are just "gone" with no way to get at anyone trapped inside seals the image.

Her time asleep thanks to Briar Rose finally got the crap out of her system, and now she's free to be herself again.

Sibling Rivalry
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_19209d54
comment
Sibling Rivalry: Snow White and Rose Red. Most of the time played straight, for Snow's ex-husband Prince Charming cheated on her with Rose (who seduced him in the first place). In Animal Farm, we are led to believe this is also part of the reason for Rose to side with the revolution, but later it is discovered she did it to save her sister's life. More recently, the rivalry between the two has been reignited by Rose's decision to spare Prince Brandish's life. Things only get worse from there. Peter & Max Piper have a rivalry, initially one sided but it escalates as the book goes on. Max's Start of Darkness is because Peter was the better piper and was given Frost, the family heirloom, despite being the younger brother.

The Sociopath: While most villains in the series skirt this (the Adversary, Mr. Dark, Blue Beard), the clearest example is Max Piper in Peter & Max. On the other side, under Sociopathic Hero, Jack, Frau Totenkinder and the North Wind all have their moments.

Stealth Pun: Animal Fables live on "The Farm" — where do parents tell their kids their dead pets go when they die? Not to mention, a certain book by George Orwell... Taken literally by reporter Tommy Sharp as he gathers information on Fabletown (see Exposition of Immortality above). Sharp believes "sent to the Farm" to be a euphemism used by the Fables for killing dissident members of their society.

Power at a Price
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_1ebbdddb
comment
Power at a Price: In "Fairest in All the Land", the Sword of Regret that Goldilocks uses on her murderous rampage allows the user to unerringly kill their intended target, but has an unavoidable price: it must claim a second life in payment for the first kill. This backfires on Goldilocks when going after Bo Peep and Cinderella. Cindy has figured out what's going on and arranges for the encounter to occur in a barren wasteland devoid of other living beings. Goldilocks kills Bo Peep, but Cinderella disarms her, and with no other possible victims present, the sword kills Goldilocks to pay the cost. Luckily, the Sword of Regret can also call one of each pair of victims back to life within seven days of their deaths. Bo Peep is restored, but Goldilocks is left dead.

Royals Who Actually Do Something
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_1edfa2c7
comment
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Considering that quite a few of the main characters originate from fairy tales, where royalty is fairly common, this trope gets used a lot.note  Although, technically speaking, because of certain factors such as divorce or having to escape to another world, the titles are kind of defunct. To give just a few examples: King Cole as former Mayor and then ambassador to the Arabian Fables; Snow White as Deputy Mayor, later succeeded by Beauty; Beast replacing Bigby as Sheriff; Cinderella is a spy; Sinbad is a relatively good king in his own right (despite his treacherous vizier). This is even played fairly and straight with Prince Charming; he initially went for the post of Mayor to reap the material benefits, but when conflict with the Empire loomed and then broke out, he proved himself to be surprisingly competent when it came to plotting warfare and espionage. Even before he got elected, he had his moments, when he uncovered the plots of and subsequently killed Bluebeard.

Voluntary Shapeshifting
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_1fb440a6
comment
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Dorothy Gale could shift into different human forms with the help of magic slippers. Cinderella presumably gained the ability after obtaining them. Bigby's brothers could shift forms freely into pretty much any type of creature. Bigby Wolf can shift back and forth between wolf and human form, making this what would appear to be a case of Our Werewolves Are Different – different in that he never had the ability to turn into a human being, until the opportunity came to him to get it. Or, more accurately, he renounced the ability to shape change that he could have inherited from his father, and had to have it given back to him through a voluntary cut from a blade "cursed" with lycanthropy. It has been theorized that, though he consciously refused to use his inherited ability, his desire to become the largest, most fearsome creature around subconsciously tapped into that power, enabling the runt of a litter of normal-sized wolves to become a monstrous canine larger than a Clydesdale. Bigby and Snow's children all possess this power as well (well, except for Ghost, who doesn't really have a physical body), having been trained by their grandfather, the North Wind from an early age. Beast was granted the ability to shift back and forth into monster form upon taking over the office of Sheriff from Bigby, when Frau Totenkinder (who, unbeknownst to Beast, was the witch who cursed him in the first place) and the other Fabletown spellcasters altered his curse to a transformation at will (in order to give him muscle on par with Bigby's when needed to enforce Fabletown law). After Beast's and Beauty's child, Bliss, is born, it is eventually discovered that the curse, including the alteration, was passed on to the infant girl – though at first, all Beast knew was that the curse had left him. After a few incidents, including Bliss's living space being "mysteriously" torn to shreds, the truth was discovered, and as of issue #143, the toddler is now able to consciously change into a "Beep" (as she oh-so-adorably mispronounces it), with a tendency to do so whenever she hears the word "Beast" (apparently assuming that the speaker is asking for her to transform, and eager to please the grown-ups).

Punch-Clock Villain: The majority of goblins aren't particularly evil, just working stiffs who do as their commanders order them to do. Rodney and June, two of the Adversary's wooden soldiers who fell in love with each other and ultimately were allowed to become human and live together in the mundy world. The price of their transformation is having to carry out assassinations whenever the Empire requests. They don't hold any ill will towards Fabletown or mundy humans at all and it's implied they're not happy about having to kill.

Adaptational Villainy
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: In fairy tales, Geppetto is a benevolent, kindly father to Pinocchio. Here, though, Geppetto is "the Adversary", the vicious tyrant who has crushed thousands of fantasy worlds and murdered billions, all in the name of peace. Goldilocks is normally a harmless, though annoying, intruder in the original Three Bears tale. In the story arc "Animal Farm", Goldie becomes a vicious rabble-rousing anarchist who stirs up revolution just for the fun of seeing people fighting, and who comes close to killing Snow White. Hansel, one of the protagonists of his fairy tale, grows up to become a sadistic witch-hunter and Fantastic Racist who, among other heinous acts, murders his own sister. Two of the Three Little Pigs have grown into ruthless leaders of the Farm's revolution, something they exemplify by killing their youngest brother when he fails to retrieve information for them. Prince Charming is a promiscuous Jerkass who takes financial advantage of naive women, though he sometimes slips into Jerk with a Heart of Gold territory. Zig-zagged at the end of the Adversary arc, when he (apparently) gives his life to trigger the final bomb to destroy the Adversary's last gate to the Mundy world. The Seven Dwarfs from Snow White are shown through flashbacks to have been evil and abusive, treating her like a slave in their home and taking their turns molesting/raping her. Snow White eventually ends up murdering them. Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz learns to enjoy killing and becomes a mercenary. She becomes Cinderella's arch-enemy. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother takes over a Kingdom and becomes an evil overlord that is even worse than Gepetto. In the revival, Peter Pan reveals himself to have been the secret power behind Geppetto's empire.

Muggles Do It Better
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_21eb1793
comment
Muggles Do It Better: The main reason why the Adversary doesn't launch a full-scale attack on the Mundy world. When the Snow Queen suggests using magically induced plagues, famine and fire to take out Fabletown, Pinocchio and Rodney spell out how the Mundy governments would respond quickly and effectively, and with the help of Fabletown, would decimate the Empire long before their plan could be completed. Not only has the Adversary suppressed the development of technology, but also all independent magic use. Fabletown assaults the Empire using as much Mundy technology and tactics as they can. They outright buy several Mundy military-mercenary schools to train Fables how to be soldiers and adapt Mundy guns for use by non-human Fables. To top it off, they arm a flying airship with Mundy machine guns, enabling it to take out hordes of dragons and sorcerers from a distance, while remaining relatively untouched, and the Empire gates have no defense against the Mundy bombs that take them out.

I'm a Humanitarian

comment
Subverted with Bigby. In his origin story it was revealed that Bigby used to eat thousands of innocents alive For the Evulz, including children, and is still considered a monster by the Fables of the Farm. Yet since he's a wolf, he wasn't born or raised with human morals and so doesn't feel any guilt over his actions. Since joining the community, he doesn't so much atone as change his priorities after connecting with Snow and becoming a father. He's still technically a monster, but now he's a husband, leader, and dad too, which his canine nature takes far more seriously.

Ironic Echo: In one of the stories when Snow and Bigby's children are playing, Darien comments on how "girls can't be kings!"

comment
Fantastic Nature Reserve: The Farm, a huge, isolated chunk of wilderness in far upstate New York which is home to the Fables who cannot appear as normal humans. Between mermaids, dragons, sleeping giants, talking pigs, and the characters from The Jungle Book (1967), "fantastic" is an extreme understatement.

Babies Make Everything Better
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_23f1384a
comment
Babies Make Everything Better: A major undercurrent in the general story. As revealed in Peter & Max, Fables are unable to have children because Max Piper used his eldritch powers to modify an influenza strain to sterilize the population as part of his revenge on his brother back in the 1920's. Snow White and Bigby's children are considered a miracle, the first born in decades. In recent issues, speculation about Beauty and Beast's newborn (who can transform between cute infant to six-limbed furry beast) has been a background element.

Nominal Hero
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_2de7bbf1
comment
Nominal Hero: Jack. All of the Literals represent some form of storytelling trope, and as a Literal/Fable hybrid, Jack assumes the "hero" niche in his own spin-off series and in the in-universe movie series he produces. However, he is abusive to his friends, incredibly vain, selfish, ruthless, a womanizer, and will betray any ally or supposed friend in an instant. Jack has worked as a mass-murdering robber in the Old West; assassinated quite a few giants; been willing to let his allies be killed for his own glory; unwittingly sold the soul of his firstborn son to a devil; seduced, broken the hearts of, and immediately left hundreds of maidens; and, finally, ended up as a ravenous dragon.

Unrequited Love Switcheroo: A version with Rose Red and Boy Blue. The latter had been in love with her for quite some time and, with the encouragement from Stinky, confesses to her with the belief that his love is returned. To his great disappointment, however, Rose explains that she did have feelings for him once, when he had just returned a war hero, but she doesn't feel that way anymore. Later, when Blue is at his death bed because of a war injury, Rose tries to convince him that she loves him after all and she'll marry him right then and there, but by then Blue has realized that she only wants men when they offer immediate excitement, and because of that, he "deserves better than her". She promptly plummets into a Heroic BSoD afterwards, and swears that if he ever returns, she'll work hard to make herself worthy of him.

Insufferable Genius
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_3126c34a
comment
Insufferable Genius: Count the number of appearances Doctor Swineheart makes without bragging about how he's the greatest surgeon to ever live. It will not be a large number. People start calling him out when he maintains this attitude during and after his utter failure to save Boy Blue. While this death was by no means Swineheart's fault, as neither the magical knowledge of Frau Totenkinder and her witches, nor the Messianic Archetype powers of King Ambrose could do anything more than slow that cursed injury, his arrogance comes across as a lot less justified afterwards, and people let him know it. Subverted with Frankie, in the Business Office, who takes every opportunity to refer to himself as a genius, but proves himself as dumb as a brick. Inverted and averted with Bufkin, who at first continually and annoyingly refers to himself as a dumb and not-very-bright monkey every time he does something wrong, even though he's shown reading extremely complex, thick books. It takes the Magic Mirror to convince Bufkin otherwise, and Bufkin proceeds to use his vast knowledge of books to destroy his enemies. However, once aware of his smarts, Bufkin stays the same modest, silly monkey in speech and attitude.

Fourth-Date Marriage: After the war against the Adversary, Rose Red falls for Sinbad, who returns as one of the war heroes, and marries him after only a few days of knowing him. This prompts Boy Blue's realization of Rose's tendency to always chase after any interesting man of the moment, only to lose interest once their glamour fades. This is proven by how she divorces Sinbad again in a heartbeat as soon as Blue returns a dying war hero.

Death Is Cheap
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_37fcf16
comment
Death is Cheap: The more famous a fable is with the "mundies", the bigger the chances are they will just come back to life sooner or later, no matter how many times they're killed. To wit, Snow White recovers from being sniped in the head, Bigby — aka The Big Bad Wolf — survives being blasted by a machine gun, and even Prince Charming comes back to life, despite being blown to bits. Parodied by Superhero, who is the Anthropomorphic Personification of the superhero genre and is known to be constantly dying and resurrected. Oddly enough this trope is played straight and also subverted and zig-zagged throughout the series, spinoffs and sequels. Characters can be killed for an entire series, but in the first story-arc of the Jack of Fables, Mr. Revise says that dead fables can actually come back after death, albeit replaced with a new version of the dead fable. Averted, heart-breakingly so, by both Boy Blue and Dare. Both of their sacrifices are painful, drawn-out, and permanent. Totenkinder, in one of her kinder moments, took the time to explain to Pinnochio that there was no pattern or control about who comes back and who doesn't.

Genie in a Bottle: Appears in the Arabian Nights (and Days) arc. The Djinn are the storybook genies, pure magical beings with powers bordering on Reality Warper, who were forced into their bottle-traps long ago by "King Sulymun", the Fables' version of King Solomon. They grant three wishes to whoever sets them free, but only return to their enchanted bottle if the third wish requires them to. Otherwise they remain free and quite Axe-Crazy.

Perhaps most visibly with Flycatcher. Flycatcher was drawn with visible eyes and being rather unattractive early on, while later he was drawn with bangs constantly covering his eyes and the goofy frog-cap. He eventually was "revealed" to have beautiful green eyes under said bangs when going through his makeover in The Good Prince, next to being surprisingly handsome. Then, in the short "The Final Hurrah of the Three Blind Mice" in the final arc, Fly is drawn as this over-exaggerated cartoony thing with massively elongated features.

No Fourth Wall: The literals in "Jack of Fables" address or refer to the audience on a regular basis. Averted: there is a fourth wall in "Jack of Fables". In fact, she narrates a few of the issues: Eliza Wall, the fourth of the Wall sisters. Babe the Blue Ox addresses the readers directly in all of his scenes. In "The Very Last Story of Babe the Miniature Blue Ox", Babe even threatens the reader with instant death if we turn the page, in order to prevent the story from ending. Of course, Babe getting to eat a ton of pizza and drink soda while holding a gun on us is a big benefit, too.

Blessed with Suck
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_3c3f28a5
comment
One speculated source of the eponymous Fables' powers is that the more popular the story about a Fable is, the more harder they are to kill. For example, Snow White recovered from a sniper's bullet to the skull, but her sister, Rose Red, states she wouldn't have survived since most people have forgotten her part of the fairytale. Frau Totenkinder is one of the most powerful Fables in existence because she is every anonymous witch in folklore, and Goldilocks raises this to a level bordering on Blessed with Suck, as revealed in "Jack of Fables", when she discovers she can't heal any faster than the fish are eating her.

Lampshaded by the Snow Queen herself in War and Pieces. The Empire was an overextended paper tiger with a glass chin, oppressive to its own, and dangerous as an aggressor, but not very resilient at all when it is itself attacked. Taken together, each Curb-Stomp Battle ends up being a subversion of the usual Evil Empire/Unstoppable Horde trope.

Deus ex Machina: Aside from being an actual character, nicknamed "Dex", this is lampshaded by Science Fiction in "The Great Fables Crossover". He holds the firm belief that a surprise legion of Nebularian attack cruisers will show up at the last moment, because otherwise, how would they win at the end? Despite the lampshade, "The Great Fables Crossover" plays this completely straight. Not only does Dex show up as the entire situation looks impossible to solve, he solves it for the Fables by revealing that the egg in Snow White's office is an unhatched universe that they can trap Kevin Thorn in and promptly retrieves it for them.

A journalist, Tommy approached Bigby openly, in the middle of Fabletown, and claimed that he knew the secret of Fabletown, that he had proof that all of the Fables were immortal and had been around for over 100 years, and Tommy had pictures to prove they were all vampires. After Bigby gets done laughing his ass off, he arranges for a secret operation to erase all of Tommy's files and blackmail the journalist into keeping his mouth shut. However, Bluebeard then takes matters into his own hands and shoots Tommy in cold blood.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_4781adbb
comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: When first introduced, Prince Charming is depicted as a womanizing, power-hungry asshole whom almost everybody in the series dislikes, conning his way into the Mayorship of Fabletown. However, though his reasons for becoming Mayor were selfish, Charming works much harder at running Fabletown than King Cole ever did, truly doing the best he personally can. For example, he fully intended to give glamours to all non-human Fables to allow them to leave the Farm; he was forced to break that promise only because the Thirteenth Floor sorcerers told him it was impossible. Then in the War against the Empire, after his airship is blown from the sky, Prince Charming tows the bomb himself to its intended target and sacrifices himself in order to trigger it, crippling the Empire. Jack Horner himself falls under this category from time to time, though very rarely. Most of the time he is a selfish, narcissistic sociopath, and can be downright murderous at times. But he has shown some examples of his more human side, like admitting to liking and caring for his friend Gary, mourning his wife's death and Gary when he kicked the bucket, once risking his life to save one of the Page sisters when they fell over a cliff, and generally helping out Fabletown and the Literals when needed. As seen in Jack of Fables #9, he's just not that good showing it to others that he does care about them. Even though he likes to scam other residents of Fabletown, Jack does help out the community. He was the one who concocted the plan to trick a reporter who found out about the town’s magical nature, and was the one to warn Bigby Wolf and Snow White during the first arrival of the wooden soldiers and the threat of the Literals and Kevin Thorne.

Would Hurt a Child

comment
Frau Totenkinder started by sacrificing her own baby to demons and wiping out the tribe she was born into, then continued to murder thousands of children in blood rituals to keep her power during the following centuries, which she used to inflict inventively cruel and very disproportionate "punishments" on anybody she pleased, showing up as the unseen evil force in assorted stories. She's now a little old lady knitting in a rocking chair and helping Fabletown deal with that nasty Evil Empire, oh my yes, and she invests her wealth in "perfectly legal ways" among the Mundies... by owning abortion clinics.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Mister Dark, literally. Twice. Although it isn't entirely clear whether he's sealed or dead the second time, since the North Wind, who got him into said "can" along with himself, is widely spoken of as "dead".

Hidden Villain: The Adversary does have a true identity, but it's kept under wraps for quite a while. For many years, Fabletown thought the big, monstrous Emperor was the Big Bad, but the real head of the Empire is unknown to even its own citizens.

Combat Pragmatist: The Fables have no qualms about using modern "mundy" weapons against the Empire. And when Snow White calls out Prince Brandish for a duel, she casually slips out of her heeled shoes, choosing to fight barefoot for better footing.

Big Good: Snow White. Despite being Mayor King Cole's second, Snow's the one who really runs things, dealing with all the day-to-day issues of Fabletown, giving orders to crash Fabletown during the Adversary's first assault, and planning and coordinating the Fables' assault on the Empire despite technically no longer being in command. King Cole is shown to be fairly helpless without Snow backing him up.

Villain Forgot to Level Grind
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_4bc2a19c
comment
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: The Adversary was able to conquer hundreds of worlds via dividing and conquering, and then Zerg Rushing the others. However, these tactics only worked against scattered villages and individual forts. Owing to a staunch Science Is Bad belief, they never updated their tactics or technology. Magic was still the preferred system; the only time they are ever shown using technology, it is strictly to accomplish a singular goal (giving the wooden soldiers guns in order to blend into the human world). Secondly, his army worked akin to a Roman Legion, where the officer had strict and total authority over his subordinates, enforced by total discipline. This left a glaring weakness, that if the officer was removed, the soldiers he commanded would be directionless. Finally, the Adversary was deeply drunk on his Empire's own superiority, and even though he knew of the flaws in the system, he did nothing to correct them. As a result, when the Fables forced his military leaders into comas, his army completely fell apart. In addition, the Fables were able to hold their own against the numerically superior Empire... by machine-gunning their troops en masse.

Your Normal Is Our Taboo
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_4de0f392
comment
Your Normal Is Our Taboo: In Arabian Nights (and Days), the Arabian Fables joining Fabletown brought up the issue of ownership of slaves being acceptable in their culture. King Cole neatly outmaneuvered them by agreeing to honour their custom of owning slaves "as long as you'll accept our venerable custom of hanging slavers wherever we see them".

A Child Shall Lead Them: Winter is chosen to be the North Wind, who rules all things cold and North. She's eight years old at the time. Eight-year-old Therese is kidnapped to be the queen of Discardia, the land of killer toys.. At one point, the toys reveal that Therese is not the first child monarch they've had, and that all the others died shortly after entering the land.

Author Tract

Author Tract: The praise of Israel's policies, the extreme dislike of France, the lambasting of sign-style protesters as savages, the portrayal of tax collectors as goblins to be killed, the less than progressive depiction of assorted Middle Eastern Fables, the depiction of Goldilocks as an insincere Soapbox Sadie psychopath. Also the time when Snow White vehemently rejected the idea of having an abortion, as well as Kay's implication that many Fables would be up in-arms because Frau Totenkinder now gains power from abortion clinics, rather than killing children herself.

The Atoner
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_4ef92d0b
comment
The Atoner: Therese in Cubs in Toyland and all of the discarded toys. After she executes the Ticky-Tocky Tiger Lord Mountbatten and Dare sacrifices himself to reactivate the cauldron of plenty to feed her, Therese spends years in a fugue-state of depression due to her grief. When she finally becomes aware again, she's become an adult. She explains to her subjects that they are going to redeem themselves for the deaths they caused by going out into the Mundy world and prevent other children from dying the same way their owners did: 100 children saved for each toy restores that particular toy. Despite thousands of lives saved, Therese never recovers from her guilt, with all food from the Cauldron tasting "like ashes in her mouth". Subverted with Bigby. In his origin story it was revealed that Bigby used to eat thousands of innocents alive For the Evulz, including children, and is still considered a monster by the Fables of the Farm. Yet since he's a wolf, he wasn't born or raised with human morals and so doesn't feel any guilt over his actions. Since joining the community, he doesn't so much atone as change his priorities after connecting with Snow and becoming a father. He's still technically a monster, but now he's a husband, leader, and dad too, which his canine nature takes far more seriously.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first few story lines, the fairy tales the Fables are based are given a lot of focus. In the first volume, Beauty attempts to insult Snow White over her time and Bigby accuses Totenkinder and Bluebeard of murdering Rose Red because of their villainous pasts, even though all of their stories happened hundreds of years ago. In the second volume, when Fables are seen visiting the business office, they are all in full costume with Cinderella wearing her ballgown and glass slipper. In the first issue, Beauty acts like she barely knows Snow White and insults her over rumors about her time with the dwarves. Despite the fact that Snow has been a respected leader in Fabletown for over a century and everyone should know what topic is really off-limits. At the end of Animal Farm, after the Three Little Pigs, Snow White turns the three friendly giants she had awakened during the storyline into the new pigs, with the odd implication that the Fables need to be alive in order for their stories to exist. The Adversary is depicted with somewhat of a Pan motif. Admittedly this was because of an Aborted Arc (See the Trivia page). Pinocchio looks much different in his first appearance. The first story arc of the spin-off series Jack of Fables has Jack Horner set up as this "bastion of strength and invulnerability" that cannot be killed. Yet he almost died during his escape against the Bag Man. It can be assumed, however, that the Bag Man could kill Jack since it was the creation of Mr. Revise, a Literal who can remove a fable's magical nature.

Excuse Boomerang: When the Arabian fables are being integrated into Fabletown society, they insist on being allowed to maintain their ancient tradition of keeping slaves. Old King Cole agrees, but says that the Western fables will maintain its ancient tradition of putting all slave-owners to death wherever they find them.

Time-Passage Beard: Female version. After Snow White is shot in the head by Goldilocks at the end of the Animal Farm storyline, she spends the next year recovering, which is shown by her post-surgery clean-shaven head growing out to her usual past-the-shoulder-length locks in the end-of-book montage. This montage also shows the time that was spent in cleaning up the mess from the failed revolution, allowing a reset without trivializing the scenario

Disproportionate Retribution
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_50b05d30
comment
Bluebeard, the Fable who used to kill all of his wives, is a cowardly, conceited rich blowhard who continually plots behind peoples' backs, uses threats to intimidate his opponents into backing down, and has no qualms about killing helpless people, as long as they can't fight back. He makes no pretense of likability at all. After Snow White survives the Farm rebellion, Bluebeard drugs both Snow and Bigby into running away and sleeping together, then sends Goldilocks to assassinate them — in retaliation for Bigby insulting him.

Let's Get Dangerous!

Let's Get Dangerous!: Boy Blue is just a supporting character, an office boy to Snow White and a friend to Flycatcher and Pinocchio. But after his long-lost love Red Riding Hood shows up in Fabletown and proves to be an imposter, Blue gets dangerous and goes to rescue the real Ride. He singlehandedly invades the Empire, throws the entire territory into disarray when he kills several high-ranking officials including the Emperor himself, rescues Red Riding Hood, meets the Adversary in person, and still manages to return home alive. Bufkin of all people. Originally just the supporting comic-relief character and Chew Toy for the Business Office staff, he proceeds to declare war on Baba Yaga and a rogue d'jinn — and when they laugh him off, he takes them out. Spectacularly so.

No Bisexuals: Averted throughout the series by at least three characters: Rose Red says she is over the time she slept with girls, with the exception of once a year as a birthday present for Jack, meaning she is not a lesbian. Rapunzel, who's been with both Rose Red and a Kitsune vixen named Tomoko, along with her male lovers. Prince Charming, the serial womanizer who states at one point that he has no problems with sleeping with men and certainly no issue with a man being in love with him.

Fantastic Racism
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: The Adversary's wooden soldiers are disgusted by creatures of flesh, particularly Fable and Mundy humans, who they derogatorily call "meat". They can't understand why any of their number would want to turn into a thing that excretes, gurgles, requires food, etc. Offering them food is, to them, the gravest of insults, as at least two people have found out to their misfortune. The Fables themselves are anti-Goblin since the Gobs were on the Adversary's side during the war. Since the Gobs' favorite food happens to be talking animal Fables, the hatred is understandable.

Frau Totenkinder is German for "Mrs. Dead Children".note  Although "Tote Kinder" would be grammatically correct, as you can't join the two words in German, even with a gratuitous "n", since the 1996 spelling reform that broke up compound words. Totenkinder derives power from sacrificing children, and while she no longer sacrifices Fable children, she owns mundane abortion clinics and takes her power from those deaths. This is made dreadfully explicit in the Alternate Reality Episode Crossover with The Unwritten, where out of sheer desperation, she sacrifices every living child on Earth to gain the power to hold Mr. Dark and prevent him from escaping to conquer other realities.

Really 700 Years Old
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_5c5ac0e2
comment
Really 700 Years Old: Few of the Fables look their real age and most look far younger than they actually are. Most notably Pinocchio, who looks like a real boy, just as he wished for, but is actually over three hundred years old. Notably averted with Frau Totenkinder, the wicked witch of all fairy tales. For most of the series, she looks like the extremely old woman she is, sitting and knitting in a rocking chair. Until she takes on Mr. Dark, anyway, and then this gets played straight, as Totenkinder sheds her years and shifts her form to that of a young, beautiful teenager.

Heel–Face Turn: Subverted by Geppetto, aka The Adversary. When Fabletown alters their battle plans to grab him as part of Pinocchio's bargain to reveal the last remaining Imperial gate to the Mundy world, they force Geppetto to sign the Fabletown contract, which absolves him of all his prior crimes. However, he does not go quietly; despite now being part of Fabletown, he is constantly shown plotting against them and attempting to escape their control. The same happened to Revise, who was just as reluctant. Bigby. He starts as the monstrous Big Bad Wolf, killing everyone in his path just because he can. However, when he first meets Snow White, he not only helps to rescue her and her sister from Imperial forces, but later escapes to Fabletown, signs the contract, and becomes their sheriff, head of their covert operations, and a proud, loyal father.

Hourglass Plot: Much of the New Camelot arc involves who of the cast will take over the various roles of Arthurian Legend. Two of the characters are from those old myths, Morgana Le Fay and Lancelot, and they don't take over their old roles. Instead, they move into different roles, opposite what they played in the original tale: Lancelot now plays Guinevere's role as the consort of "King Arthur"/Rose Red, with Morgana taking over Merlin's role as advisor, instead of being the wicked sorceress out to destroy Camelot.

 Fables (Comic Book) / int_6c7136b7
comment
Tactful Translation: When the Arabian Fables come to Fabletown, Sinbad can't speak English and Charming can't speak Arabic, so King Cole has to be the mediator. Charming acts very direct and commanding, but King Cole's translations are much more gentle. He also does the opposite, translating Sinbad's politeness as direct commands to Charming. Also a bit of real life cultural awareness. Many Arabic cultures value elaborate courtesy, while Americans value directness. Cole's translation gets the meanings of both Sinbad and Charming across to each other in the way each would expect and respect.

Masquerade

comment
Masquerade: Fabletown insists on hiding its existence from mundane Earth people and goes to considerable lengths to do so. Each Fable lives under rules aimed at hiding its particular nature. For example, Rapunzel has to have her ever-growing hair cut every couple hours; non-human Fables have to buy magic to hide their natural forms, and if they cannot afford it, they're sent to the Farm. Pity any mundane who cracks the ruse and foolishly lets on that he knows about the Fables' existence — death is the best they can hope for.

Culture Justifies Anything
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_70447aa7
comment
Culture Justifies Anything: When the Arabian Fables join Fabletown, they are told that slavery is illegal in Fabletown and that they will have to free their slaves. The Arabian Fables object, claiming that slave ownership is part of their culture. King Cole agrees that Fabletown will honor their custom of owning slaves, but only if they agree to honor Fabletown's custom of executing slaveholders wherever they find them. The Arabian Fables immediately agree to free their slaves (Sinbad is at least amused and appreciative of this tactic).

comment
Retired Monster: The Adversary, Geppetto. He would gladly have slaughtered all the people of Earth through biological warfare, and even after being forced to sign the Fabletown Contract and become just another resident of NYC, he is quite unrepentant about his past. On his first stroll through Fabletown, he doesn't understand why anyone is upset with him, after all he did to ensure peace in the Empire. Frau Totenkinder started by sacrificing her own baby to demons and wiping out the tribe she was born into, then continued to murder thousands of children in blood rituals to keep her power during the following centuries, which she used to inflict inventively cruel and very disproportionate "punishments" on anybody she pleased, showing up as the unseen evil force in assorted stories. She's now a little old lady knitting in a rocking chair and helping Fabletown deal with that nasty Evil Empire, oh my yes, and she invests her wealth in "perfectly legal ways" among the Mundies... by owning abortion clinics. Bigby has killed and eaten hundreds, if not thousands, of humans, animals and other creatures over the course of his rogue Big Bad Wolf days, and shrugs it off without any remorse, despite now being Fabletown's sheriff and head of its covert operations.

Adaptational Badass: Since his unsuccessful exploits in Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf has truly grown into his name, devouring hundreds, if not thousands of victims in his past turning him into an elephant-sized wolf capable of leveling forests with his Super-Breath (his inheritance from being the son of the North Wind). As he explains himself, the only reason he lost to the third pig that built his house with brick was because he was just a puppy at the time. Cinderella is a through and through Action Girl, working for Fabletown as a covert agent and assassin whose skills would put James Bond to shame. Boy Blue was simply a kid from a famous poem blowing on his horn. While he starts out seemingly harmless in the comic as well, he's eventually revealed to be a cunning, sword-wielding badass. Frau Totenkinder, the old child-eating witch from Hansel and Gretel is one of the most powerful fables and can take on the greatest supernatural forces their world has to offer.

"Arabian Nights" Days
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_76dc4f31
comment
"Arabian Nights" Days: The free European fables are portrayed as being stuck in the modern world after the Adversary took over. When they ally with the Arabian Fables, the European Fables expect them to be in hiding in the Middle East. Instead, the Arabian Fables are still living in their traditional lands, the glorious fairy-tale versions of Persia and Arabia, complete with flying carpets, genies, and harem girls. The Adversary had only recently started targeting them and they are actually a cohesive force that can hold him off effectively (although this is due to the European fables like Snow White, warning them in advance).

The Ageless
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_796fa10c
comment
The Ageless: The Fables and their immunity to injury seems to be related to their Popularity Power, and so, their immortality varies between them. Note that none seems to find their inability to die outside of being killed to be a Blessed with Suck case. The wooden soldiers of the Golden Horde never age, never get sick, never die. The only thing that stops them from having Complete Immortality is that their wood can break and their joints can loosen and drop off. Not that it stops them from trying to kill you. They also burn, just not quickly enough for it to count as a weakness in combat time.

Villain Decay: When the Empire is introduced, it's presented as this vast world-spanning juggernaut that conquered entire dimensions, and the only reason they never bothered with Fabletown was that it was too small for them to care. In fact, their first encroachments were simply to recover Pinocchio and several artifacts. It took almost all the Fables in the city to repel a single squad of wooden soldiers. However, when the Fable war starts, they are able to taken down the Empire's entire army in a single campaign.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Bigby gives one to his father almost every time they meet for the way he left Bigby's mother to die.

Hide Your Otherness: Fabletown forces all Fables to hide anything that might give away their true nature to the Mundanes of Earth. If a Fable is unable to hide their otherness, they're sent to the Farm to keep them out of sight: Rapunzel has to get her hair cut several times a day to disguise its rapid, unnatural growth. Fables with animal forms either have to be able to change into a human form or have a magic disguise. Beauty and the Beast are threatened with the Farm, when Beast is unable to hide his beastly form due to Beauty's anger.

Good Girls Avoid Abortion

comment
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: When Dr. Swineheart gently points out that Snow White doesn't have to give birth to her illegitimate children that were begotten on her by Bigby after Bluebeard hexed them to leave for the country and sleep with each other, she indignantly retorts that no Fable would ever abort a baby, and threatens to exile the doctor if he brings it up again. It's later revealed that the Fables have basically been sterile for the last few decades, so even if her babies aren't wanted, they're still too precious to just "discard" like that. In "The Good Prince" arc, it's revealed Frau Totenkeinder owns several abortion clinics to gain her powers from them. Kay is able to blackmail her with this knowledge since, while not illegal in Fabletown, it is highly frowned upon. Totenkinder threw Rapunzel out when she refused to abort her twins. It's also heavily implied that before then the two of them discreetly sold abortifacient potions to village women who couldn't afford to have children.

Interspecies Romance: Human Goldilocks sleeps with Baby Boo Bear of the Three Bears. While Goldie claims their relationship is a political statement, Boo Bear himself states otherwise. Human Snow White and Bigby, who's the Big Bad Wolf and son of a wolf mother and the North Wind. Their romance story takes a long while to play out and ends with Bigby reuniting with Snow and their children. Per Bigby's words, it took him a few centuries to "get into human girls". Their romance and marriage are one of the few solid relationships in the series. Bigby's wolf-mother and the North Wind, an Anthropomorphic Personification of the North. Their union results in a litter of cubs, but the North Wind's heart eventually changes and he leaves her; heartbroken, Bigby's mother pines away to death as a result. Goldilocks also seduces the badger Stinky/Brock Blueheart to get a ride back from exile, paying for her ride by becoming his girlfriend. From his narration this included sex, which he didn't care for since he's not into interspecies flings.

What Happened to the Mouse?: In March of the Wooden Soldiers, Baba Yaga briefly hints that the Red Riding Hood imposter Boy Blue fell for is still alive, but she's never brought up again. After the ghosts of Bluebeard and Shere Khan sell out Haven, they are shown to be coming back to life, Bluebeard demonstrating this by holding a glass for several seconds and may become antagonists again down the line. However, after this scene, neither is seen again. In the solo story of Rodney and June Greenwood's daughter, Junebug, she is caught and nearly killed by monstrous rats living in Castle Dark. They force her to write a message for them, she draws them, and tries to tell her parents all about them, only for Rodney and June to not believe her, at first. The story's stinger is Rodney and June discover Junebug's back is covered in claw-marks and realize she's telling the truth. We never find out what happens to the rats.

Back from the Dead
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_8967e17f
comment
Back from the Dead: Snow White returns in the Animal Farm arc after being shot in the head with a rifle. This is explained in-universe in that a Fable's Contractual Immortality is dependent on the mundies' knowledge of their particular story. This not only makes Snow and certain other characters nigh unkillable, it also means the much lesser-known Fables are Red Shirts just waiting to get Killed Off for Real. Defied in the cases of Boy Blue, who tells Bigby in the afterlife that he wouldn't be coming back, and Darien, who states the same thing.

 Fables (Comic Book) / int_8bb3ac7b

Sudden Humility: Prince Charming (who has the ability to do Exactly What It Says on the Tin) manages to win an election against Mayor Cole (Old King Cole), who had held the position for centuries by that point. After a while, Prince Charming's reign begins to fall apart, and he realizes just how difficult it is to actually be in charge. King Cole remarks that it's not easy being the guy in charge—because that's the guy everyone will blame when something goes wrong.

Super-Breath
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_8c74d8b6
comment
Since his unsuccessful exploits in Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf has truly grown into his name, devouring hundreds, if not thousands of victims in his past turning him into an elephant-sized wolf capable of leveling forests with his Super-Breath (his inheritance from being the son of the North Wind). As he explains himself, the only reason he lost to the third pig that built his house with brick was because he was just a puppy at the time.

Destructive Romance: The relationship between Jack and Rose Red is pure dysfunction and nearly gets them both killed, with Rose Red eventually realizing that they only brought out the worst in each other. When she later reconnects with him, it's out of pure self-hatred and depression. Their new relationship drags her down even further.

The Hunter Becomes the Hunted
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_8fcb5843
comment
The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: A short written story after the main series' end centers around Blossom who has become a Nature Hero living with both enchanted and regular animals. Her story tells of two ordinary men who plan on going hunting in the magic lands since they figure it's still just animals. Blossom shows herself to the men and warns them that she's "giving them a chance" to get out before she'll let the animals do what they want. The hunters insist they're in their full right to hunt, to which Blossom answers, "My, my, what makes you think you are the hunters?" She leaves them with that and the ending narrates how the enchanted animals of the forest are waking up that morning to the smell of fresh human meat just ready for their taking...

Complete Immortality
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_91b5521d
comment
The wooden soldiers of the Golden Horde never age, never get sick, never die. The only thing that stops them from having Complete Immortality is that their wood can break and their joints can loosen and drop off. Not that it stops them from trying to kill you. They also burn, just not quickly enough for it to count as a weakness in combat time.

Scarecrow Solution: A psychological version in the story of Tommy Sharp, a reporter who discovers the Fables' society in the belief that they're vampires (because of their longevity). Bigby and the rest manage to capture him and trick him into believing that they are indeed vampires who've tasted his blood while they knocked him out, and while he won't turn into one of them, they've gained complete control of him and can make him commit suicide if he ever publishes his discovery, along with releasing fake photos of him molesting a little boy (actually a 300-year-old Pinocchio). Sharp is scared senseless and complies, only to a few days later be killed by Bluebeard acting on his own.

Take a Third Option
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_950bbfa7
comment
Take a Third Option: The North Wind swore an oath that no wild zephyrs would be allowed to live. When he discovers that Bigby and Snow sired one, he must either follow through with the oath and kill his grandson or have Bigby defeat him in a deathmatch. The first option would irreparably damage his relationship with Snow and his grandkids (not to mention completely destroying what little relationship with his son he has left), and the second is impossible as Bigby's not strong enough to beat him. Instead, he chooses to commit suicide (via the only method available to him, entering the Casket of Primordial Winds), taking Mister Dark with him. This ends Mister Dark's war against Fabletown and releases the North Wind from his oath.

But in the first Fairest arc, such fairy is introduced as being Hadeon the Destroyer instead and totally unrelated to Totenkinder.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: In The Dark Ages arc, the magic sustaining Fabletown fails, forcing everyone to flee New York for The Farm.

Took a Level in Badass
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: Flycatcher, full stop. Also Boy Blue, so much so that, even though he's dead, he's basically now revered as a god by the Farm Fables. Similarly, the leader of this new religion, the badger Brock Blueheart (formerly known as Stinky) is able to do a One-Winged Angel thing because of the power of the belief in Boy Blue. Boy Blue may be considered a partial subversion, as it is implied he actually took his level a long time ago thanks to his experiences fighting centuries of losing battles, retired, and then unretired (with the primary difference the second time around being that he was using substantially more potent equipment).

A Day in the Limelight: Many of the side and supporting characters get their own spotlight stories within the larger arcs: The story of two of the Adversary's wooden soldiers, Rodney and June, who end up falling for each other and subsequently request to become human. Later they become Chekhov's Gunman when they're the ones ordered to assassinate Cinderella before she reaches Fabletown with Pinocchio. Their child, Junebug, gets her own moment in the "Castle Dark" arc, when she goes exploring the castle. The Smalltown men get their backstory and focus in the "Barleycorn Girls" tale — which turns into a Chekhov's Gun for Bufkin later.

Unwanted False Faith
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_9cc1e9ec
comment
Unwanted False Faith: Boy Blue only wanted to be a regular guy. He became a war hero out of necessity, but hated the cruelty and slaughter that war entails and really preferred to simply be an office clerk. One of the main reasons he participated in the war effort was his hatred for tyranny. After his death, a cult springs up around him. His worshipers long for him to come back as a bloodsoaked tyrant slaughtering all who stand in his way and indulge in the most blatant and unfair forms of nepotism. Of course, they consider this a good thing, using rhetoric very similar to how the Adversary justified his own reign of terror. The above refers to how this religion comes across in its early story arcs. Later story arcs might show how the whole thing turns out. As of issue #134, Boy Blue has been revealed to show no interest in returning, and has apparently "moved on" to the next life/world/something.

Summation Gathering: Invoked by Bigby at the end of the Legends In Exile arc where he gathers all the members of Fabletown together to reveal the truth behind Rose Red's apparent murder. The event takes on a rather humerous quality when Bigby not only states to the entire crowd that he's intentionally setting up this trope but also that he's doing it just for the fun of it since it may very well be the only time in his entire career that he'll get the chance to live out a scene lifted straight from classic mystery novels.

No Conservation of Energy: While the magicians are stated to have to store up magic for centuries and start over if they spend it, Totenkinder recovers really fast for her battles with Baba Yaga, the Adversary, Mr. Dark, and Cinderella. All of those fights are spectacular, flashy, and explosive, involving multiple conjurings, fireballs, and shape-changes. Each one has some other sorcerer stating that Totenkinder's holding nothing back and spending all she has, yet somehow Totenkinder's always ready for the next big flashy fight.

Homage: The entire mini-story, "The Birthday Secret", is a glorious tribute to Calvin and Hobbes.

The real clue-in comes when the cubs are shouting out what they want for breakfast: one yells "Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs!"

This means Kay is doomed to cut out his own eyes over and over forever. When Kay looked upon a certain "kindly" old man, Kay falls to his knees in horror, then promptly runs to his bathroom with a very sharp knife, staring into the mirror as he was about to plunge the blade in.

Karma Houdini: Every Fable in Fabletown qualifies. When they join the community, they sign a compact that forgives all of their past deeds, no matter how horrible or bloody, and no one in Fabletown is allowed to hold any of the past crimes against each other. Subverted with The Adversary, Geppetto. While officially he's signed the Fabletown compact, the Fables will not forget nor forgive, and make it abundantly clear that they will not allow him in their stores or homes. The Farm animals take their own retribution, as well: after their attempts to kill him fail, they bury him alive deep in the forest. Snow White. Despite being the former Deputy Mayor of Fabletown, she helps a murderer avoid punishment because he's her son and never suffers any consequences for that.

Only Known by Their Nickname: Beauty and the Beast. We never find out what their real names are, if they have any. Flycatcher, aka "Fly".

Inverted with Colin, one of the Three Little Pigs. In the original fairy tale, the pigs are never named. In Comic Book/Fables, the dead loyal pig is always called Colin whenever he appears.

Contractual Immortality
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_a82c5152
comment
Snow White returns in the Animal Farm arc after being shot in the head with a rifle. This is explained in-universe in that a Fable's Contractual Immortality is dependent on the mundies' knowledge of their particular story. This not only makes Snow and certain other characters nigh unkillable, it also means the much lesser-known Fables are Red Shirts just waiting to get Killed Off for Real.

Chekhov's Skill: During the invasion of Fabletown, members of the Mouse Police disabled a number of the advancing wooden soldiers by climbing up their pants legs and removing the joints from their knees. Bigby would use this same exact tactic to great effect during the War against the Empire, against the giant puppet Emperor.

comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In order to keep its control over the conquered populace, The Adversary and his Empire keep all magic and potential mundane technology hidden, locked up, contained, and secreted away so no one can use it against them. This comes back to bite the Empire hard when Fabletown invades using a one-two punch combo of magic and mundane technology: the Empire has absolutely no defenses against it and can't get their locked-up resources available in time to counter anything Fabletown throws at them.

Face–Heel Turn
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_af3ea0e3
comment
Face–Heel Turn: Geppetto started out as a kindly old man, outraged at the evils which the local nobility were inflicting on his friends and neighbors. Then he got the taste for power and kept justifying taking out more and more nobles and taking over more and more lands, finally putting himself in ultimate charge. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, indeed. Nurse Sprat was a mean-spirited nurse who delighted in her power over helpless, sick Fables, but she was still nominally on the side of Fabletown. Then Mr. Dark came calling, Sprat went with him willingly, and, calling herself Leigh Duglas, proceeded to take control of Bigby and try to kill off the surviving Fables.

I Ate WHAT?!: On a dinner date with tree lady Princess Alder, Reynard is shocked to discover that the "delicacy" he sampled from her plate is manure, taken from local "sources", including, quite possibly, his own. In Alder's defense, she tried to warn him. After Briar, Ali Baba and Jonah Panghammer are captured by The Snow Queen, they are nevertheless sat down before a delicious feast, as Lumi is eager to hear more of Briar's origin story. All thoroughly enjoy their meal until The Queen mentions that the specialty dish is "goblin in wild tarragon sauce". Everyone (but Jonah) promptly spit out their mouthfuls.

Loophole Abuse
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: Briar Rose, a.k.a Sleeping Beauty. You know the story. One prick from a pin and Briar and everyone around her fall into an irreversable sleep. Only the kiss of a prince who truly loves her can break the spell. In the modern world, when Briar Rose is out buying jewelry, she accidentally pricks her finger. It is fortuitous that the police responding to the incident happened to bring a detection dog named "Prince". Snow White also uses this tactic on Bluebeard in the first story arc. Part of Jack Horner's scam was to have Rose Red sign a marriage contract with Bluebeard, stipulating that Rose Red would marry Bluebeard after one year in exchange for a huge sum of money, but Bluebeard has to keep the marriage agreement secret. When everyone thinks Rose is dead, Bluebeard tells Bigby and Snow about the agreement; when the scam is revealed, an enraged Bluebeard tries to make Rose Red marry him anyway or give him his money back — and Snow promptly drops the hammer. By telling Bigby about the contract, Bluebeard violated its terms, putting Rose Red in the clear.

It gets even better when we learn WHY he revealed his "knowledge" to them: He thought they deserved a chance to tell their side of the story before he published it.

Count the number of appearances Doctor Swineheart makes without bragging about how he's the greatest surgeon to ever live. It will not be a large number. People start calling him out when he maintains this attitude during and after his utter failure to save Boy Blue. While this death was by no means Swineheart's fault, as neither the magical knowledge of Frau Totenkinder and her witches, nor the Messianic Archetype powers of King Ambrose could do anything more than slow that cursed injury, his arrogance comes across as a lot less justified afterwards, and people let him know it.

Evil Overlord
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_b8dde2
comment
The sheer speed by which the Fables disable the Adversary's Empire is off-putting, considering all the build-up of The Empire being this vast all-powerful menace. This may be a brilliant subversion of the unbeatable Empire and the Sauron-esque Evil Overlord tropes by showing how politically fragile it would be, with many of the weaknesses that real world dictatorships have, and how Muggles Do It Better when it comes to heavy weaponry. It is also realistic that a community numbering in the hundreds fighting an empire of billions could only win a lightning war, where all the arcs of preparation pay off at once, while a protracted fight would wipe them out easily. However, it is still disappointing.

Really Gets Around: Prince Charming. He claims to have had over a thousand romantic conquests by the time he was 15, and when we're first introduced to him, he's not only scamming a waitress into sleeping with him, but we also learn he's had at least three wives. Also part of the reason none of his marriages lasted. However, he eventually falls in love with Nalayani in The Return of the Maharaja arc from Fairest, and it's implied it might last this time. Jack Horner. His introduction starts him out with Rose Red, a backstory short shows him healing a terminally sick woman just to sleep with her, and in the "Jack of Fables" series, has slept with all three Page sisters. Goldilocks has had many paramours throughout the course of the series (both humanoid and non), as she claims her coupling with animal species is a socio-political statement. But on the whole, she uses sex to control and manipulate others.

Irony: The end of Storybook Love has Snow White agreeing to go on a date with Bigby as long as they take things "very slowly". Soon after, she realizes the two of them slept together during their drugged state and she's already pregnant. It takes a while for her to recover and the two of them to reconcile after that. Bigby was the runt of his litter, and was constantly picked on by his brothers for his puny size. It was this, along with a desire to get even with his father for having abandoned their mother to die, that prompted him to everyday "eat something bigger than what I ate yesterday", resulting in his wolf form becoming the size of an elephant, more than three times the size of his brothers. The runt of the litter becoming the Big Bad Wolf... Two of the Three Little Pigs, who are victims and good guys in their fairytale, become vicious killers, leading the conspiracy to overthrow the Farm and kill Snow White. The Big Bad Wolf, who tried to blow the Pigs' houses down to eat them in the fairy tale, becomes the good guy, fighting to keep Snow alive and administer justice in Fabletown. In the New Camelot, Morgan le Fay is cast in the Merlin role to Rose Red's King Arthur, helping Rose keep Camelot running; in the original legends, Morgan Le Fay tried to overthrow and kill Arthur. In the same arc, Sir Lancelot du Lac seems destined to be the new Guinevere; in the legends, he was Guinevere's adulterous lover and part of the reason the original Camelot fell. The Lady of the Lake remarks on the irony to Morgana.

Shout-Out: Freddy and the Mouse are clearly analogues of Fritz Leiber's sword and sorcery characters Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. The Liliputian settlement at the Farm is called Smalltown. They originally wanted to call it Smallville but the name was rejected because everyone thought it was dumb. During the Fables Crossover, at one point Babe the Blue Ox, who normally engages in non-sequitur flights of fancy, imagines himself to be an Expy of Snoopy. The genre literal Noir in The Great Fables Crossover gets a panel◊ where he looks pretty much exactly like a picture of Humphrey Bogart, the picture of which is used by this wiki on his own article. To Monty Python and the Holy Grail: The short story "The Destiny Game" introduces the Lady of the Lake, and at the end she's seen wearing a t-shirt that reads "basis for a system of government".

Ballistic Discount: Three of the Adversary's wooden soldiers come to a gun shop to stock up for their impending assault on Fabletown. While it's a fair bet they weren't going to pay, it doesn't even get that far – they're so outraged by the shopkeeper refusing to hand over the guns until after the waiting period that they leave his dead body pinned to the wall with multiple sharp objects, along with a note telling the "meat" to be more polite to their superiors.

Surprise Multiple Birth: Snow gives birth to an entire litter, seeing as the father is The Big Bad Wolf, and due to the magical nature of her pregnancy it was impossible for her doctors to confirm how many babies she was carrying beforehand. She's quite distressed to have it happen six times in quick succession after a 42-hour labor.

Anti-Villain: Mr Revise kidnaps Fables and Literals to strip them of their memory and revise their stories, essentially rewriting history to make them less dark. Yet it is necessary to bring order and stability to the often dangerous magics and personalities of the Fables and Literals (especially from Kevin Thorn, who can rewrite reality without caring who he hurts). He stabilized the laws of physics, letting science advance and refused to resort to the murder his brother Bookburner espoused.

Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: In issue #51, Cinderella is turned into a mouse, her clothes falling empty to the meadow floor, so she can enter the village of the smalls. Bigby routinely loses his clothing when he goes full Big Bad Wolf, and often spends panels or even pages in a wolfman form for modesty reasons alone.

I Have Many Names: Jack has the name of almost every "Jack" in Fable history under his belt, plus a number of other aliases that have the name Jack in them. For example, he went by the name Jack Candle when he was an outlaw in the late 19th century. Frau Totenkinder is the Wicked Witch of many different tales, taking on all their names and personas, including the Lady who blesses Lancelot with invulnerability in Arthurian Legend, the Witch who tries to eat Hansel and Gretel, and as of her last incarnation, Belleflower.

Depending on the Artist
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_d83f3588
comment
Depending on the Artist: Many of the one-shot tales also take extreme liberties with how characters are portrayed, but the main story arc isn't immune, either: Pinocchio suffers the most from this. When he's first introduced, he looks like a real, cute little boy. In later stories, his face becomes more stylized and squared-off, with his jaw twisted into a sideways scowl, while cover art shows him as realistically as possible. Perhaps most visibly with Flycatcher. Flycatcher was drawn with visible eyes and being rather unattractive early on, while later he was drawn with bangs constantly covering his eyes and the goofy frog-cap. He eventually was "revealed" to have beautiful green eyes under said bangs when going through his makeover in The Good Prince, next to being surprisingly handsome. Then, in the short "The Final Hurrah of the Three Blind Mice" in the final arc, Fly is drawn as this over-exaggerated cartoony thing with massively elongated features.

Orgy of Evidence: In the first arc, an overabundance of evidence and Jack's over-acting is what makes Bigby suspect that Rose Red's murder had been staged. There's too much blood splattered around and too many things overturned that shouldn't be in the room, while other things (especially the more valuable) are left untouched or unbroken.

A Million Is a Statistic: Utterly averted with Kay seeing Geppetto's crimes, including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents in the Homelands. He is completely shocked, and rushes back to his house to stab his eyes out again. "So many..." Played straight in that same issue, as Geppetto gleefully admits the number of people who died without a care and doesn't think anything of it. He can't even understand why everyone's so upset with him over the killings, either.

Continuity Drift: Snow White and Prince Charming. When we first get their backstory, Snow blames their marriage falling apart on him cheating on her with Rose Red, and it's revealed he can never stay true to a woman. In 1001 Nights of Snowfall, however, Charming's a good man who rejects the advances of several woman while married to Snow, who admits the marriage started falling apart when Snow killed the seven dwarves out of revenge, which nearly lead to a war between two kingdoms; she lied to Charming about her motives and involvement. In Cinderella: In From Fabletown with Love, one panel during the Big Bad's monologue strongly implies that Frau Totenkinder is the evil fairy from Sleeping Beauty's tale. But in the first Fairest arc, such fairy is introduced as being Hadeon the Destroyer instead and totally unrelated to Totenkinder. In the Peter & Max novel, it's revealed that Max had made every Fable infertile in the 1920s, meaning no child has been born until Bigby and Snow's children. But before that, in the comic, when Snow, Mama Bear, and Beauty all get pregnant, it's just treated like a regular event, and not the miracle it should have been. Snow White and Rose Red's backstory is first presented as their mother sending Snow to her own sister to be raised. In the Finale arc, though, we find out that it's actually the mother's sister-in-law, as her real sisters are all dead due to the tontine. At first, nothing special is attached to Snow and Bigby's children. Then, towards the final arc and after it's announced that one of the cubs must become the new North Wind, we learn about a prophecy that Ozma made concerning them and which now seems to be coming true. The "Cubs in Toyland" arc covers the first half of the prophecy and its impact on the over-arcing tale...but all we ever get of the rest are fast sum-ups and no real stories exploring how they came to be. In the Bad Prince story arc it was revealed that Jack Horner was in fact, just a copy of Wicked John (due to a clerical error by Kevin Thorn), and that he didn't really climb the beanstalk or kill giants. However, by the end of The Big Book of War, that little tidbit seemed to have been forgotten and Mr. Revise credits Jack Horner as the boy who sold his cow for magic beans.

Then, when Jack let Death out of the bag, Death loved the vacation and spared the girlfriend after all.

Exact Words: At the end of the "Jack in Hollywood" story, the narration informs us that Jack was never seen in Fabletown again. It says nothing, however, about the Farm, where Jack turns up during The Great Fables Crossover. Pinocchio reveals how his wish to become a real boy resulted in him staying a boy forever. The prophecy for Bigby's and Snow's cubs states that "the second will be a pauper". The second, Blossom, becomes a nature goddess on a wilderness world, living with animals in the wild. She has no money, but then, she neither needs nor wants any. Used hilariously with Briar Rose, aka Sleeping Beauty. When she was an infant, an evil fairy cursed her to die when Briar pricks her finger, a curse mitigated by a good fairy, who changed it so that Briar only falls asleep and can be awoken by "the kiss of a prince who truly loves her". In one scene, Bigby's chewing her out for accidentally pricking her finger at a jewelry counter, which caused Briar and the entire department store to fall asleep before Briar was awoken. How was Briar woken up? The police on the scene brought the K-9 unit and one very affectionate dog started licking Briar's face...

Lost in Imitation: Bill Willingham has stated that he only wants to use public domain characters in Fables, but he made one tiny mistake in the "Animal Farm" storyline: King Louie of The Jungle Book (1967) appears briefly, even though he's not in Rudyard Kipling's book, only in the Disney movie, which is not public domain. By the time Mowgli himself appears, in a later storyline, though, Willingham clearly has done the research, as Bagheera refers to Mowgli as "little brother" and Baloo refers to him as "little frog" (those being nicknames used in the book).

Jerkass: Oh God, there are so many that it's almost not worth it trying to point any out: Bluebeard, the Fable who used to kill all of his wives, is a cowardly, conceited rich blowhard who continually plots behind peoples' backs, uses threats to intimidate his opponents into backing down, and has no qualms about killing helpless people, as long as they can't fight back. He makes no pretense of likability at all. After Snow White survives the Farm rebellion, Bluebeard drugs both Snow and Bigby into running away and sleeping together, then sends Goldilocks to assassinate them — in retaliation for Bigby insulting him. Jack Horner, an egotistical womanizer who has no qualms about lying, stealing, cheating, and scamming anyone just to get rich. When he encounters a sick, dying woman in the Civil War, he only stops Death from taking her so he can screw her before she dies. Prince Brandish stands out as perhaps the single most entitled, self-centered asshole in the entire series, and that's really saying something. He beats Snow after enforcing his supposed "marriage rights" on her, threatens to kill her children because they're "mongrels" due to Bigby being their father, changes Grimble into a helpless bird and tries to kill him, slaughters Weyland in cold blood, and kills Lancelot while laughing about it.

Trenchcoat Brigade: Bigby Wolf, his trenchcoat, and a magnificent set of attitude. Beast becomes one when he plays dress-up as Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe as he tracks down his demonic wife.

Popularity Power
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_ee30ce4b
comment
Popularity Power: One speculated source of the eponymous Fables' powers is that the more popular the story about a Fable is, the more harder they are to kill. For example, Snow White recovered from a sniper's bullet to the skull, but her sister, Rose Red, states she wouldn't have survived since most people have forgotten her part of the fairytale. Frau Totenkinder is one of the most powerful Fables in existence because she is every anonymous witch in folklore, and Goldilocks raises this to a level bordering on Blessed with Suck, as revealed in "Jack of Fables", when she discovers she can't heal any faster than the fish are eating her. Jack Horner, who is the "Jack" in almost every fairy tale, exploited this by going to Hollywood and making a trilogy of blockbuster movies about him. He's now effectively immortal. Gary, the Pathetic Fallacy even remarked that Jack has basically turned himself into "a walking bastion of strength and invulnerability." A Discussed Trope, as it's brought up more than a few times within the series, but while Frau Totenkinder expresses doubt that it actually works that way, no other explanation is offered, either. Also subverted by Frau Totenkinder. While she is present in many stories, she is anonymous in all of them, meaning she isn't popular by name and no one is aware that she is the specific wicked witch they dealt with in their past. This is lampshaded in several places by certain Fables stating that Totenkinder seems familiar, but they can't remember ever having met her. In her battle with Baba Yaga, Totenkinder implies that she wins and Baba Yaga loses because Baba Yaga misunderstood how this worked and came into the fight overconfident because of it.

One-Steve Limit: Averted. While most of the Jacks of the stories are the same guy, Jack Horner, the Jack was the original Jack Frost and the father of his namesake/successor. There's also Jack Sprat, the executioner Jack Ketch, and the second Jack Frost, who's the son of Jack Horner.

comment
Anti-Climax: Bigby and his children meet again after four years and a long story arc of Bigby regaining his status in the Fable community, yet their reunion barely gets a couple panels. The sheer speed by which the Fables disable the Adversary's Empire is off-putting, considering all the build-up of The Empire being this vast all-powerful menace. This may be a brilliant subversion of the unbeatable Empire and the Sauron-esque Evil Overlord tropes by showing how politically fragile it would be, with many of the weaknesses that real world dictatorships have, and how Muggles Do It Better when it comes to heavy weaponry. It is also realistic that a community numbering in the hundreds fighting an empire of billions could only win a lightning war, where all the arcs of preparation pay off at once, while a protracted fight would wipe them out easily. However, it is still disappointing. Jack of Fables introduces characters who are essentially gods of writing tropes and the creators of the fables, which would cause a huge existential crisis to the community. This factor is not explored in the slightest. At the end of the crossover, everyone's memories are erased and the incident is never mentioned again. The speed at which the final arc of Rose vs. Snow got ended, with Rose suddenly realizing the curse was broken and "we don't need to do this after all". Considering that the whole Empire vs Fabletown thing took up 11 full booksnote 12 if you count 1001 Nights of Snowfall, the whole ending story arc of Rose and Snow gearing up to fight is rushed and haphazard, taking less than 3 books to build and resolve, with practically none of the preparations or buildup being relevant to the finale.

Lilliputians: All of Littletown is populated by extremely tiny humans who are small enough to ride mice. The original male founders of Littletown were warriors and explorers from the actual kingdom of Lilliput; the first women were Barleycorn Brides, grown from enchanted corn. After a couple generations and expansion of their population, the corn is no longer used.

Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_ef0a5ce
comment
Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: Jack Horner's feats include tricking a whole legion of Devils (including Lucifer, Chernabog, Nick Slick, Old Scratch and others) into giving him hundred more years of life before they take possession of his soul. But even he realized it was a mistake in the long term, since sooner or later he is going to run out of devils to con and things to offer. Jack eventually escapes this. When Jack did die and the Devils came to collect his soul, all of them ended up arguing over who could claim Jack. They finally decided to just lock Jack up in the ends of time as punishment, but Jack still turned this to his advantage, by using his and Gary's literary powers to create a new universe in Jack's own liking. Early in the series, Jack beat the Devil (specifically Nick Slick) in a poker game. After getting himself attracted to a dying Southern Belle, he then used the Devil's Bag of Holding to trap the Grim Reaper and prevent his new girlfriend from dying, so he could have sex with her. Then, when Jack let Death out of the bag, Death loved the vacation and spared the girlfriend after all. Beast himself once tricked the Blue Fairy into marrying her worst archenemy Geppetto. Hell, even Reynard the Fox, another archetype of tricksters, was impressed.

While Rose and her relationship to Snow do improve over the course of the series, everything comes crashing down in the "Happily Ever After" arc, when Rose declares all-out war on an unwitting Snow in order to control the power of their mother's bloodline.

Easily Forgiven: Any Fable who signs the Fabletown Compact is immediately absolved of all crimes committed while in the Homelands. Subverted with Bigby, as even after signing the Compact and becoming Sheriff. His crimes against animalkind were so heinous, he is still not allowed to set foot upon the Farm, for fear of setting off a full-blown riot, or even revolt.

Cute Bruiser: Bigby during "The Great Fables Crossover". Kevin Thorn subjects Bigby to several form changes, finally turning The Big Bad Wolf into a cute little girl in a frilly pink dress — though said cute little girl proceeds to rip out throats with her teeth, slaughtering all of the Genre Literals. Lampshaded by Horror (who herself looks like a cute little girl), who says "The sweeter they look, the more dangerous they are! Believe me, I know!".

Good Armor, Evil Armor
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_f77124e
comment
Good Armor, Evil Armor: In the Happily Ever After arc of the main series, the nature of the Fables and their family curse causes Snow White and Rose Red to act out the Arthurian narrative. When it is made public knowledge that Bigby has been revived (albeit in a broken, feral state), they agree to work together to find him, only for Rose Red and Snow White to immaculately gain their own sets of armor, Rose Red's being shining and made of gold, while Snow White's black with a Skeleton Motif. Genre Savvy that they are, they realize that the narrative is actively trying to paint Snow White as the Bad Guy in the current narrative. While Snow White refuses to go along with it (turning her black sword white in the process), Red Rose slowly transitions into the role to the point of fanaticism, her sword and armor turning red after murdering Mrs. Sprat for the ring she used to control Bigby. In Fairest issue #5, a bottle imp in service to Lumi accidentally summons Hadeon the Destroyer by invoking her name, thus Hadeon feels compelled to act out her title and destroy her. When the duel officially starts, both conjure their own set of armor. Lumi summons a shining silver armor akin to Joan D'Arc with a shield and sword, while Hadeon has black armor with Spikes of Villainy and an axe/mace combo.

Our Werewolves Are Different
 Fables (Comic Book) / int_f8b3fa5d
comment
Bigby Wolf can shift back and forth between wolf and human form, making this what would appear to be a case of Our Werewolves Are Different – different in that he never had the ability to turn into a human being, until the opportunity came to him to get it. Or, more accurately, he renounced the ability to shape change that he could have inherited from his father, and had to have it given back to him through a voluntary cut from a blade "cursed" with lycanthropy. It has been theorized that, though he consciously refused to use his inherited ability, his desire to become the largest, most fearsome creature around subconsciously tapped into that power, enabling the runt of a litter of normal-sized wolves to become a monstrous canine larger than a Clydesdale.

Beware the Nice Ones: Throughout the first story arc, Bufkin's a timid flying monkey who quails from the anger of the other Fables and is content to spend his time reading all the books in the Business Office. But then the unthinkable happens: the Business Office is cut off from Fabletown, trapping Bufkin inside with Baba Yaga and a freed genie, and all hell breaks loose. The Magic Mirror said it best:

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Geppetto may have killed millions in the expansion of his empire, but, as he stated, that empire created security for the billions of those who abided his laws for hundreds of years until the exiled Fables brought it down. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother also embodies this trope. Hansel has accused, tried, and convicted thousands of people as witches, including his own sister, all in the belief that he's doing God's holy work.

Will They or Won't They?: Snow White and Bigby Wolf. Comprehensively resolved in due course. Then replaced with Boy Blue and Rose Red and eventually resolved there as well. Then replaced with Flycatcher and Red Riding Hood. Not resolved for a long time due to Flycatcher being a bit obtuse around women (and likely still mourning his long-dead wife), but eventually revealed to have been resolved by the Last Story of Flycatcher in issue #141.

Brick Joke: Jack Of Fables has the infamous Tortoise and Hare starting a race to freedom from the Golden Boughs Retirement Village during a breakout attempt in issue #4. 28 issues later, after the entire community has been destroyed, the Tortoise is just crossing the outer treeline, confident his tyrannical warden will not keep him imprisoned any longer. 18 issues after that, as part of the Killer Finale, the Tortoise is run over by a truck. In the very first story arc, Pinocchio mentions in a side-scene that he wants to hurt the Blue Fairy because she made him into a real boy, which means that he's eternally a boy. When he finally does meet up with the Blue Fairy many issues later, he proceeds to fight her, although she offers no resistance and defeats him with a simple magical gesture.

Mighty Whitey: The "1001 Nights of Snowfall" book is based on the Arabian Nights stories; in the original, the vizier's daughter, Scheherazade of Persia, outwits a murderous king by telling him stories each night, until he falls in love with her and cannot bear to kill her. In the Fables retelling, Scheherazade has passively accepted her doom, and it's her father who tricks European-Fairy-Tale-based Snow White into taking Scheherazade's place. Snow White gets the king to give up his murderous ways, and when Scheherazade comes to thank her for the extra year of life and states that she goes to the king herself that night and will likely die, Snow is the one to suggest that Scheherezade distract the king with stories.
