Line 56:
** It's hilarious when you realize that's what his name is. Big B. Wolf
* [[Big Good]]: Snow White until {{spoiler|Mr. Dark}} shows up; {{spoiler|Red Rose}} then takes the roll but only after an epic [[Refusal of the Call]].
* [[
* [[Blasting Time]]: How magic users lob destructive spells.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]] - The D'jinn have no concept of good and evil.
Line 76:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]:
** Babe the Blue Ox, judging by his fantasies.
** Mr Dark can come across as this as well. He's often seen carrying on a conversation with his two [[Mook
* [[Continuity Drift]]: Happens often. Legends in Exile, the first arc, has many differences compared to the later stories. Such as Snow White and Prince Charming. In [[Lo E]] she pushes all the blame for 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, he's a good man who rejects the advances of several woman while married to Snow, who admits when the story is done that the marriage started falling apart when {{spoiler|Snow killed the seven dwarves out of revenge, which nearly lead to a war between two kingdoms, but she wasn't willing to admit what she had done to prevent said war. Charming had to fake a confession from a prisoner to keep the peace.}} (Then again, Snow herself has admitted that she's given to omitting or selecting various truths while examining her complicated personal relationships.)
* [[Cool Airship]]: The ''Glory of Baghdad''. It's an airship powered by ''flying carpets''.
Line 141:
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: {{spoiler|Boy Blue}} shows he's still got the chops when he singlehandedly {{spoiler|invades the Empire, throws the entire territory into distraught 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.}}
** {{spoiler|Bufkin}} of all, ahem, people. Complete with declaration of war.
* [[Lilliputians]]: All of Littletown (well, some of them aren't ''actual'' Lilliputians
* [[Lilliputian Warriors]]: The Mouse Guard
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters|Loads And Loads And Loads Of Characters]]: Well, [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover|duh]].
Line 203:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Jack, reaching epic heights when he narrates ''Jack of Fables.''
* [[The Sociopath]]: While most villains in the series skirt this (the Adversary, Mr. Dark, [[Bluebeard]]), the clearest example is [[The Pied Piper of Hamelin|Max Piper]] in ''Peter and Max''. On the other side, under [[Heroic Sociopath]], Jack, Frau Totenkinder and the North Wind all have their moments.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Animal Fables live on "The Farm"
** 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.
* [[Story-Boarding the Apocalypse]]: The ''Sons of Empire'' arc is basically this. First played straight, then subverted. Check the trope's entry for all the gory details.
* [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler]]: Frankenstein's Monster was animated by the Nazis during [[World War II]], only to be stopped by Bigby and a band of allied soldiers.
* [[Sudden Humility]]: Prince Charming (who has the [[Charm Person|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
* [[Tactful Translation]]: When the Arabian Fables come to Fanbletown, 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.
* [[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 kill his grandson or have Bigby defeat him in a deathmatch. The first would irreparably damage his relationship with Snow and the grandkids (not to mention destroying what little relationship he has with his son), and the second is impossible as Bigby's not strong enough to beat his dad. {{spoiler|Instead, the North Wind commits suicide and takes Mister Dark with him. This ends Mister Dark's war against Fabletown and releases the North Wind from his oath.}}
Line 222:
** The above refers to how this religion comes across in it's early story arcs. Later story arcs might show how the whole thing turns out.
* [[Urban Fantasy]]
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Bigby Wolf can do this, making this what would appear to be a case of [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]
** Beast was granted this 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.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Issue 100.
