Fables: Difference between revisions

* [[Author Filibuster]]: Bigby supports Israel's survival tactics, telling {{spoiler|a pajama clad Gepetto}} why {{spoiler|he is blowing up his enchanted forest; Fabletown is mimicking them.}} For or against, you have to admit the tactics work. Which is the point Bigby's making. There have also been a few not entirely historically accurate potshots agains France, but really, Bill generally tries to avoid this.

* [[Babies Make Everything Better]]: A major undercurrent in the general story. As revealed in ''Peter and Max'', Fables are unable to have children because {{spoiler|[[The Pied Piper of Hamelin|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 years. In recent issues, speculation about Beauty and Beast's newborn {{spoiler|(the child can transform between cute infant to six-limbed furry beast)}} has been a background element.

** Explained in-universe in that a Fable's [[Contractual Immortality]] is dependent on the mundies' knowledge of their particular story. Which basically makes the much LESSER-known Fables into [[Red Shirts]] just WAITING to get [[Killed Off for Real]].

** Sort of {{spoiler|all the Fables thrown down the Witching Well, once Fly comes for them.}}

* [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: All the witches live on the thirteenth floor of the Bullfinch building.

* [[This Loser Is You]]: " Nothing you do will ever be as cool as ''Jack of Fables''"

* [[Trapped in Another World]]: Subverted. They trapped themselves willingly and can go back whenever they want, it is just that the [[Big Bad]] conquered and destroyed their home world, making it a [[Doomed Hometown]].

* [[Undefeatable Little Village]]: In the album "The Good Prince", [[The Empire]] is severely shaken by such a village, having sent more troops against it then it could afford to lose.
