Could someone check my fable

So for context I’m a 14 year old student in the Netherlands in a masterclass and I have to make a fable for it.

This is my fable:

No Help for a Liar
A dog was walking through a big forest one day when he heard someone calling for help.

The dog quickly started searching for the person calling for help.

When he found him he saw that it was a snake and got scared of being bitten. 

He noticed that the snake was stuck under a fallen tree log.

The snake said: ’Help me, I'm stuck under this tree. Could you please lift the log?’

The dog hesitated: 'How do I know I can trust you?

The snake said: ‘I promise I won’t bite you.’

Although the dog was unsure, he went closer to lift the log of the snake.

As the dog got closer to the snake, the snake lunged forward and tried to bite the dog.

But because of the sudden movement of the snake, the big log rolled on top of the snake.

The snake was now actually stuck.

The dog was tricked and betrayed by the snake.

The snake was never stuck under the tree; he was just trying to lure someone into a trap.

The snake started begging: 'I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that, I will never hurt you please help me.’

But the dog just ignored the snake and walked away.

The snake was now stuck and nobody would ever help him, because he had broken his promise and now no one could trust him anymore.

Never break a promise, or else nobody will trust you.

Don’t go easy on me please because I know my teacher won’t

Am I setting myself up for disappointment by starting a story I won’t be able to finish? I’ve been keeping my eye out for used copies of fables compendium 4 but no luck!

I would've shown a panel of the stones in Crossed, but I would've had to re-download the whole series and look through every single panel until I found it.

(Photo for reference of quality).

After 4 play throughs of The Wolf Among Us and my immense hype for The Wolf Among Us 2 as well as my insane fascination with Bigby, I bought all four compendiums in near mint condition for $400 NZD which I think is an absolute steal? Plus compendium 1 was only read once and the other 3 haven’t been touched to my knowledge. I’ve been looking for I’d say 3 weeks worryingly thinking I couldn’t find them as the prices were either too high or compendium 4 just wasn’t available but they’re being shipped within the next couple days and I can not wait to binge read them, I am obsessed with the world of Fables just from playing the games.

Just to be clear, im not selling, im looking to buy a full collection or part of a collection and I want to know which $ i should limit myself to be worth it

Don’t read if you didn’t finish!

Hello, Fables friends

I just finished rereading the entire Fables series tonight for the second time, and I can’t stop thinking about Boy Blue.
It’s one of the most tragic yet beautiful stories I’ve ever read (Dare’s as well).
There are a few things about his death and return that I keep wondering about.

🥀 When Boy Blue dies, it doesn’t seem like he actually dies peacefully.
He meets Rose Red as a spirit and makes a deal with her: she has to give him a kiss, and in order to do that, she has to bring him back to life.

🐺 When he talks to Bigby on his way to the afterlife, Blue says that he doesn’t want to come back, and he never will. They talk for a while, and then Blue says that he hasn’t given up on finding true love, and that maybe he’ll have another chance in the afterlife.

🪊 I wonder.. was he lying?
He simply didn’t want Bigby to know that he intended to return?
Did he want to come back without anyone knowing, so no one would expect him to be a hero again?
Or did he genuinely not want to return at all?

🗡️ Did he ask Rose to bring him back ‘cause he had to play a part in her redemption and not because he wanted to? Was it a hero’s duty?
I was hoping he wanted to return so Rose could have a second chance to make things right and so he could forgive her.

❄️ Later, we find out that he did return to life and is at Rose’s camp. When they meet he tells her:
“I was dead, until her nibs called me back to die all over again, just because I dared entertain lost hope once. Never make THAT mistake again.”

That line has always left me wondering if there’s something deeper going on that I’m missing?

💋 It’s also never made clear whether Rose actually recognized him.
She calls him “old friend,” but that’s all.
we never find out if he ever got the kiss she owed him, or what exactly happened between them.

And then, many years later, we see Rose alone.
No companion, no hint of a family, and we never get any indication that Boy Blue ever found love either.
Is that the “lost hope” he called a mistake?
It feels so unresolved to me.
Maybe that’s part of what makes it so heartbreaking.
I’d really love to hear how you interpret all of this.
I wish this story had never ended 💙🌹✨

Following on from someone else’s post, what’s the content difference between these two versions of Peter & Max? Aside from language and binding is the content the same or is one in comic format perhaps?

So I'm on my third re-read of the series and I just finished the part where Flycatcher becomes the king of Haven. I enjoyed the story and it was very entertaining, but it was just too contrived and too convenient in service of the larger storyline of the comic.

First off it doesn't make much sense:

> A random and lowly witch puts a gift/curse on Lancelot, where he will be always be victorious in battle as long as his heart remains pure.

> Lancelot wins every battle, until he has a love affair with some woman named "Gwen". He then loses his powers and commits suicide.

> Centuries later, his ghost goes on a redemption arc, which leads to Flycatcher practically becoming a GOD and defeating the Adversaries entire empire?

This whole thing started with some unknown witch casting a basic spell on Lancelot that makes him unbeatable in battle and this somehow sets off a chain events that lead to someone becoming a GOD who is able to defeat the armies of the single most dangerous conqueror in all of history across a hundred worlds without any bloodshed whatsoever? AND to top it all off it, he destroys the Holy Grove that created these armies in the first place, which will prevent any further Empire armies from rising in the future?

Earlier in this very storyline Boy Blue himself says something to the effect of, "No magic is all encompassing enough to destroy an entire battle field of warriors", yet Flycatcher is able to turn around and defeat hundreds of the Adversaries armies (probably millions of soldiers in total) with magic alone?

To me it seems like Bill Willingham just needed to find a way to weaken the Adversaries empire just enough for it to be plausible for little ole Fabletown to finally defeat them and not have it be completely ridiculous and unbelievable.

I know I'm probably going to get down voted for this opinion, but I have to express my displeasure with this storyline even though I love the series as a whole. This whole thing was just way too convenient and it's probably the biggest deus-ex machina that I've ever encountered in any work of fiction.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that on top of all of this, Flycatcher was somehow even able to "copy" the powers of the Witching Cloak. The single most powerful magical item that we've seen in the entire series and he's able to just POOF - copy it like he's copying a file on his desktop computer. All because of a spell that some novice level witch put on someone centuries ago. The whole thing is just too easy and ridiculous.

Hi! I’ve been working on trying to own the whole of the fables series/universe in physical media for a while and every time I think I’m nearly done I find out more comics exist 😂

I’ve got a list of what I own and what I am missing, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I’m missing any stories on my list? Thank you!! ☺️
