Fantasy Heroine is a Troperiffic, Affectionate Parody 2022 TikTok series by Jill Bearup. It can be found here.Writer Caroline was casting for a "generic white girl fantasy heroine"—particularly a 16-year-old girl of the Waif-Fu, Not Like Other Girls variety. Instead, she got Rosamund, a 36-year-old widowed mother of two, who can handle a sword… but only one that's proportionate to her size and musculature.There's a plot-plot, featuring two neighboring countries at war and an attempt to steal Rosamund's kids' inheritance. There's also a romance subplot about Rosamund and her Hot Enemy, Leo. Rosamund is only interested in the plot-plot, and Caroline is only interested in the shipping plot. As viewers, though, the story isn't exactly about either of those—it's really about Caroline throwing as many tropes at Rosamund as possible, and Rosamund's responding Rage Against the Author.Jill has also described it as: "What would happen if DnD was played by two characters from Yes, Minister, assuming that one of the characters in Yes, Minister was a rabid shipper."Due to popular demand, Jill expanded the tale of Caroline and Rosamund into a full novel (her first): Just Stab Me Now was released in paperback and eBook formats in 2024. | |

Oh, Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!: In the final short, Caroline wakes up Rosamund, in the middle of the night to confess she looked up fanfics about Rosamund online. Including the explicit ones. Subverted because while Rosamund is rather blasé about the whole thing — she's been aware she's a fictional character the whole time, after all — Caroline is embarrassed, because Rosamund shares her face... | |

BFS | |
| Fantasy Heroine (Web Video) / int_834420aa | comment |
BFS: Downplayed. Caroline's original pitch is for a sword that weighs 4.5 kg, which, while not as ridiculous as this trope tends to get, is still much larger than any functional sword. (To give perspective, zweihanders are about 2 kg and ceremonial zweihanders are 4 kg.) Rosamund, being quite small and light, demands she downgrade to something she can actually use. | |

| Fantasy Heroine (Web Video) / int_884e513b | comment |
Medium Awareness: Zig-zagged somewhat. Of course Rosamund knows she's a character in a book, but eventually Caroline orders a copy of the paperback and discovers it has Jill Bearup as the author. It looks like Rosamund might have to explain to Caroline they're in the same boat. | |

Love Triangle | |
| Fantasy Heroine (Web Video) / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: Robin is introduced as Rosamund's "Hot Childhood Best Friend", implying Childhood Friend Romance and a Love Triangle with her and "Hot Enemy" Leo. But it gets Subverted—it turns out Rosamund and Robin really are basically just Childhood Friends. He is attractive, sure, but he can be an attractive person without that specifically being for Rosamund's benefit. That alone doesn't make him a Love Interest. There's also the detail of their age. Caroline's earliest idea, back in episode 1, involved Young Adult Literature and a 16-year-old heroine. If they were teenagers, the Hot Childhood Best Friend being single would make sense. But Rosamund—and by extension Robin—are two decades too old for that. It makes rather less sense for Robin to still be single in his mid 30s, given that he's "rich, personable, and attractive". So he's not: he's already married to a woman named Elinor. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Rosamund's about to consummate her relationship with Leo, Caroline suddenly gets cold feet. To Expand: (As Caroline explains to her Administrator) Rosamund thinks Leo married her out of pity, Leo thinks Rosamund married him out of guilt, they both know she isn't over her late husband yet and Leo doesn't know about the requirement that their marriage has to be consummated to be considered valid, she can't think of a plausible scenario where the two of them can sit down and talk it out and she refuses to just write Rosamund as "checking off 'seduce husband for political reasons'" (Plus the invokedWrite Who You Know factor spelled out below). Fortunately, her Admin gives her an out in the next episode. | |
