Okay so I'm having a bit of a problem with an original story of mine.

There's this character of mine who I created off of a tragic idea I had.

But I'm not sure how to kill her off without it being a 'bury your gays' or fridging situation.

I've never really seen anyone explain what the difference would be between these and just... Killing off a gay woman in a story.

So how would I go about writing such a thing?

What tropes should I avoid?

She'd probably be a one book only or book and a half character.

[bitchqueen1114]

I think the best answer to this is to have multiple gay and multiple women characters in the story.

The original meaning of "Bury Your Gays" (as far as I'm aware,) implies there's a token gay character(s) who must be "punished" (sometimes literally, sometimes not) by the narrative for being gay.

"Fridging" meanwhile is a term used for a women's death served to only traumatize and support a man and his story, so I think you're good on that end lol.

TLDR: more gay characters in various relationships takes out the tokenism, can't be bury your gays

(I'm not an expert on any of these topics but this is my general understanding)

What is a storybook handler? ⋆. 𐙚 ˚ 📚

A role given out to those a deity deems worthy of carrying out the most strenuous of tasks—untangling a ‘rogue’ fairytale.

A handler is not necessary when the characters in your usual storybooks carry out their respective tales as they should, in the way they have been written to do for thousands of years.

But as every writer is aware, characters tend to have a mind of their own, and a handler is the person in charge of making sure they don’t stray too far away from their fates or worse… the author’s intentions.

Moodboards for books I wanna write

Based on @hannahhook7744's post here

(working) Story Title: A Tale of Twelve Sisters

Summary (for now): Twelve princesses try to bring music and dance back to their kingdom after their tyrannical parents ban them, but get in over their heads when they realize just how deep the queen and king's secrets go.

Genere: Fairytale

It's a retelling of the fairytale The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces/ The Twelve Dancing Princesses.

POV: Third person limited. There are two POV characters that switch between chapters.

Theme Song/Intro:

(the rest are under the cut)

(working) Story Title: Gear Up

Summary (for now): An orphaned girl gets thrown into a life of luxury through a familial connection, but must chose if her loyalties lie with her newfound blood relations or her found family of fellow orphans.

Genere: Steampunk.

It's a steampunk found family story, with some Arcane: League of Legends and The Fall of the House of Usher (show) drama sprinkled in.

POV: Third person limited, single POV character.

Theme Song/Intro:

(working) Story Title: The New Gods of Olympus

Summary (for now): In a world where Ancient Greece and modern day America have meshed into one, five young gods navigate a civil war between the Olympians, all while trying to survive high school.

Genere: Urban fantasy.

The "reading Percy Jackson" to "writing your own version of Percy Jackson" pipeline is staggering.

POV: Third person limited. There are five POV characters that switch between chapters.

Theme Song/Intro:

(working) Story Title: The Fairy Prince

Summary (for now): After their baby brother is kidnapped by fairies, three sisters journey into the Otherworld to rescue him, solving riddles and uncovering buried family secrets along the way.

Genere: Fantasy.

It's like a mix between the 1986 movie "Labyrinth" and the 2006 movie "Pan's Labyrinth."

POV: Currently undecided; will be either first person or third person limited, with a single POV character.

Theme Song/Intro:

(working) Story Title: Behind Dark Doors

Summary (for now): Something strange is happening in a small Oregon town. People go missing, odd sounds are heard at night, and it seems that the only people who care are three outcast teenagers.

Genere: Horror, Mystery.

This is my take on a Carrie style book, except it's all newspaper clippings and diary entries and such. Takes influence from Stranger Things as well.

POV: Kinda hard to say? Some of it is first person, some of it is third person, and I can probably squeeze in some second person in there, as a treat.

La Maldición Masterpost

i wanted to make this because it's an excuse to talk about my ocs jiji

what is La Maldición?

the short answer it's that is my main oc story but also it's the universe where most of my ocs exists

the long answer it's that it's my history about my oc named Dylan and how he got cursed out of nowhere by a long dead magician in a way that he accidentally infected a few people, making them all part of the curse, getting glowing magical scars in their hand* and some nasty nasty side effects

this later derails kinda, because a momentary villain appears that wants to revive the magician because there's a cult on her name, and stuff happens and your favorite alternative reality where everyone it's tortured while everything it's technically on their heads happens

but again I also use the name to refer generally to the ocs that live in that shared universe (that tbf it's most of them) so besides the main characters, side characters and villains there's also the random neighbors and old classmates and friends that aren't mentioned on the story, families and stuff

who are the characters?

we have:

Dylan Parqués

the main character(s), he starts as a cis straight dude and it's a stoner that's depressed because of... stuff, he creates the group because of the contagious curse and he self sabotages HARD, if something good happens to him he freaks out and does literally the worst thing posible and he's a human-wolf but he doesn't know that yet

Liz Parqués

secondary main character, she has more presence in the second and third part of the story, she's a trans lesbian and it's the twin sister of Dylan, she studies psychology and it's pretty calm and collected until the second part when she loses it, she's also a human-wolf but it's a secret

Eos Grek

she's a half dragon half human, demigirl, she's autistic and because of it I use her a lot for info dump, she's very friendly, blunt and sadly suffers like a lot of microagressions because of her dragon side but she's literally built different, she saw the face of God and kept being her silly self making potions

Flor Patio

she's a fairy, a dragon fly fairy, she's agender and aroace but likes to present more femenine most of the time, she's a TRAINWRECK she has anxiety and survivor guilt so everytime something goes wrong she freaks out, she has a big ass ladybug as a pet and bears the knowledge that Liz and Dylan are human-wolf

Sol Blanco

she's fully a human, starts as Dylan girlfriend and literally the best (morally) person in the "friend group" she's wronged so many times but she's a great person so she doesn't let that get in the way of helping people because using her healing magic it's way more important that everything else, she's Mapuche, has a big family and a strong moral code

Nathan Oswald

the devil incarnate (jk jk) he's a bisexual man, a magician and rromani, he does NOT know how to manage his emotions and he craves attention more than anything else, he's Dylan's roommate at the start and it's- it's not the best, but after a quick call with death he gets so much better as a person, he does not have a good moral code

Mercury

just a silly little guy, the momentary villain, he's a shapeshifter very queer coded, technically it's an undead creature and he's like an intrusive thought come to life since his shapeshifting abilities give him the power to alter people's memories so if he does something wrong he can make everyone forget that he did it, so he has no consequences ever

Iresin

this is my beautiful wife the long dead magician, her original name was Irene and got killed in the colonial era because of a lot of different things but she thinks she's owed the world because of her species and made a cult (kinda) and well she tried and successfully became a god but it was way more disappointing than what she thought it would be

those are the important ones, they may have big presentation posts later

Meet the main character 𖦹°‧

────୨ৎ────

Paige Julia Blightmoore ⋆📚

I thought good guys got to be happy - Hard Times, Ethel cain 

Troubled mousy army brat turned librarian. She grew up on base with her single father and a younger sister she is incredibly close to---as her mother ran off when both Blightmoore daughters were young children. She spent some time in the military, trying to meet her father's expectations of her, but some legal issues made her ultimately decide it wasn't for her. With a difficult life, Paige resorts to fairy tales and storybooks as a source of comfort.

The last thing she ever expected was to end up in one.

੯•́໒꒱ …

MBTI TYPE 𐙚⋆°👑.⋆ᥫ᭡

INFP - Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving

They tend to view themselves as smaller than they really are.

SYMBOLIC ANIMAL 𐙚⋆°🐭.⋆ᥫ᭡

A duality of resourcefulness, adaptability, and fertility alongside timidity, destruction, and disease.

CHARACTERS SHE’S SIMILAR TO 𐙚⋆°🌼.⋆ᥫ᭡

Twilight Sparkle, MLP: Smart, kind and caring. Like Twilight, Paige would do just about anything for those she cares about. She holds great responsabilites, and a crown that weights heavy on her head. 

Emma Swan, Once upon a time: Resourceful, whip-smart and emotionally closed off. Like Emma, Paige is into a world she is not familiar with and immedietly placed on a pedastal she can never truly live up to. 

Bob Reyndols, MCU: Troubled, guilt-ridden and an aching desire to protect others. Like Bob, at first glance Paige may seem like a soft spoken and shy creature, but both experience life altering tragedies that cause them to come out of their shells and phase their darkest aspects head on.

My thoughts on toxic TLC fans on social media (touching the "alpha" thing and later on the post other subjets in TLC)

I do feel the need to defend Marissa, TLC and Wolflet in this whole "alpha" thing. Cuz i know its cringe and i know it's weird to some people, but i truly think if you love the story and the characters you will never talk so badly abt it. Like i said in previous posts abt Wolf's surgeries (and how people are saying theyre disgusting and that he's disgusting, going against everything Marissa tried to put in the book about him finding love and friendship even when so much bad had happened to him, its WILD to me)

When Marissa wrote TLC this whole Alpha wordplay young people did this last decade DIDNT EXIST. People sometimes forget Wolf is genetically designed to practically be a Wolf, a real wolf that need to eat fight move constantly and even howl. I know it's hard to read and understand because we now as a sociaty have a big stigma with furry's and fursonas and stuff, but that wasn't the point of Wolf. He was AGAINST the surgeries, he HATED being that, they got him away from his parents, from his friends, from his house and from all he knew to become this person in this body that didn't belong to him and that he hated constantly. The "alpha" thing in Scarlet is to represent that Scarlet is more important to him than everything and everybody else (except maybe from Cinder bc of the revolution thing) that he wanted to build a life next to her, a family. The "alpha" joke, the "alpha" as a form of being a dumb person that thinks theyre bigger and stronger than others has NOTHING to do with the books. Wolf is an alpha because he was in a pack, he was a part of a gang and if you learn history or search up gang names they're usually the most stupid names so calling the biggest guy in the gang "alpha" is pretty accurate with real life. Again, it was a gang, they were sadistic killing machines, they weren't LOL players who chose to call themselves alphas. Also, alpha is later reavealed in Cress that was also a way to describe Scarlet as Wolf's brigstest star, SO cute like wtf is wrong with you guys. Again, i know it's hard to read sometimes, but i've seen SOOO many posts, new TLC readers here, people on Pinterest, people on Tktikok, that just don't understand the weight of everything Marissa put in the books, and instead of trying to understand it they hate on it like its funny or stupid. I truly believe that if you love TLC you understand this type of stuff, the alpha thing, the Scarlet being mean all the time, the Cinder sometimes fucking up plans cuz she's dumb and young and afraid, they surgeries, Winter's dumb illness that put everyone behind on plans and delayed the revolution, Cress saying odd shit at the worst time possible(...)

Marissa tried her best to create realistic characters in a very unrealistic world. No one is ever going to get stuck into a satellite, but Cress is very much 90% of the people here on Tumblr writting fanfics and reading headcanons and falling in love with fictional characters. No one ever is going to have their grandma missing because a gang took her for information, but a lot of us had an alcoholic father and an absent mother that made us feel angry and defensive all the time. No one is a beautiful lunar princess, but some of us have mental illnesess and have no one to help us with it even if it looks like we have a lot of friends. And mostly, no one is ever going to be a wolf genetically changed to howl and say "alpha", but there's poor kids all over the world being taken from their families to fight in wars old millionares created to show the world their useless "power".

You can find the alpha thing stupid and its completely okay cuz its your likings, but if you go into Tumblr, or Pinterest, or TIktok, or Instagram or any social media with a fandom, and decide to post about it being dumb, silly, that you "weren't able to finish the book" that you had to "skip it" that you found it so disgusting, even more disgusting that knowing Scarlet was touched, Winter was harrassed all the books, Jacin wasn't able to see his parent's without being hit and tortured, Cinder had to hide for months and had to leave her dead sister behind, that Levana created a whole VIRUS to KILL people all over the world just because duuuhhhhhh, and you didn't bat an eye at ANY of that, sorry but you're not welcome in, at least on my blog!! Cuz you toxic af!!! being mad to Marissa only because she used a woooord, you're chronically online baby do something

TLC fandom has SUCH a great fanbase, theres so many talented people everywhere painting fanart, writting fanfics, creating theories and making headcanons, building content together as a comunity for the books that we love, and @gingerale2017 said it so well on one of her posts, people making this fandom look bad by making fun of characters or making fun of the story just makes everything miserable, new fans need to understand this fandom is so kind to everyone entering it, but i don't think we should, as a community, allow racists, pedos, ableists and xenophobist (and many more) here just beecause they think its fun to hate on something and be toxic like they're on so many other fandoms (specailly TV show's or fairy porn books fandoms)

So, don't be toxic, you are allowed and encouraged to not like things and to debate about it here, cuz that's what the fandom is for!!! But saying shit is DISGUSTING and then it's just a characters way of showing love???? Marissa did not break her ass writting these books only for you to be all day on Twich and being triggered by the word alpha ok 😒😒 If you think maybe Cress is weird or Cinder is weird is because theyre SIXTEEN, and they act like SIXTEEN YEAR OLDS dear god.

Hope this post clarifies some things i've been seeing lately, specially here on Tumblr (and that's why the other day i made the weirdos post, cuz its weird how many new toxic fans i've seen this past month) feel free to debate with me anytime please, abt anything in this fandom, to send me asks, fanart, fanfics... I love to talk to the comunity and to all of you, but PLEASE DONT BE TOXIC cuz ive been on this fandom since i was 13 and not once ive seen the amount of hate for the books and the characters ive seen the last 3 years. LOVE YOU GUYS THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANYONE IN SPECIAL PLEASE DONT FEEL ATTACKED ITS JUST A THOGHT I NEEDED TO POST MHAWWWKKKK

[gingerale2017]

hello HELLO everyone please listen because it’s important!!! making fun of the alpha thing and “cringing” is proof that you never took the book seriously and completely disregarded the point of his character (which also implies that if a character is slightly different than your preference, you never liked the book in the first place!)

there are SO many fandoms i’m in that are toxic, spread misinformation, and literally butcher everything marissa wrote. scarlet and wolf are the most passionate couple in the books, and their unique expression of it is fits their dynamic so well. marissa was GREAT at writing characters and integrating their backstories into their lives. and making them realistic!! it’s why so the books are so appealing. it’s us but in an alternate universe! (the best writers were fanfiction writers, i stand by this).

so, yes, we don’t need weird new fans that will inevitably come with the movies, but with how toxic fandom culture is becoming, it might become the new standard. honestly, tlc is the healthiest fandom i’m in. and i love it here!!!
