The Romance Genres discuss the yellow(?) flag

📖Bluebeard's Secret by Sarah K. L. Wilson

[@sierrastanley3109]

I thought it had to do with the Bluebeard fairytale by the description of a vault full of dead wives and the new wife being given the key to it 😂

[@mercycunningham2813]

😂 I was like, wait, I know that guy. That's Bluebeard. He is more of a marinara sauce jar full of redflags guy. Aaaanywaaay you were not supposed to look so he'll kill you cause you broke his trust.

[@chewiecheshire7973]

I was just about to ask if fantasy has ever heard of Bluebeard or Fitcher's Bird.

[@anvime739]

My grandma used to tell me Bluebeards tale as a young girl. I will never understand why she tought that it was a appropriate tale for a small child xD

[@xaviersmith5154]

Omg how'd I know it was based off of blue beard.

[@IsyAweigh]

I love how Historical and Paranormal switched their trope responses: "As one does" and "I understand" 😂

[@cmm5542]

Yes, I've noticed Historical moving away from Victorian towards Medieval morality (grey) lately! 😂

[@Habideers]

Lol not the historical romance accepting quickly after hearing the description of the man 😂

[@DeathnoteBB]

[@jamesnoneyabizness5611]

In the true fantasy genre, it would be a joke on him, bc she's immortal and doesn't know it, since it's a long lost heritage of her family. 💁

[@tinysailor]

This it’s always this.

[@anivijudi]

She probably has to die in some specific way first for the ancient magic gene to awaken though. So she'll be very close to death and he'll be riddled with guilt and refusing to use his magic anymore to spend her last year with her, when it's suddenly cut short when she takes a blow meant for him. She dies in his arms and he's more devastated than ever and refuses to see her dead body once he's put it in the frozen vault. However meanwhile her best friend and probably second ML has been doing research and learns that all she needs is true loves kiss to be revived and immortal forever, but it needs to happen within three days of her death and the clock is ticking even more! I didn't know where I was going when I started this reply XD

[@_shadowreader_]

This video seems way too similar to These hollow vows. At that point the main female character was human (or just turned fairy, don't remember)

Just so long as there aren't special visits to the vault and his exes gave informed consent. Sometimes the quest for Vitamin D gets perilous.🤷

[@Cobalt_Rain]

"The quest for vitamin D" 😂😂😂😂

[@firebirdchild975]

Oh boy imagine the storyline being that his first ex was his true love and the magic he uses your life force for is summoning back her spirit for the amount of time stolen. Then keeps the corpses because ghost gf is a freak and sees the others as her new wardrobe.

[@DeathnoteBB]

I don’t know if anyone can give informed consent about that. But then it is fantasy, so maybe it’s different in their realm

[@brentmartin6833]

If he doesn't tell them *before* the marriage, he doesn't get to draw the power. The spells are quite proper. It would be a kicker if they find another power couple but they mention that with a divorce the non-magic user gets all their days back, however it's still a gamble since you don't know how many days you have left.

[@wastedinspiration]

Vitamin D, holy cow, I'm dying here!

I'm with contemporary. Flashing neon red. Informed consent and body made for sin aside, it's time to find another magic fuel for him. Nice that he is upfront and gave her the key to the vault though.

[@Bllue]

That's why it's yellow and not red. Fantasy is ok with it atm 😂

[@katelyntaylor7384]

Depends. How many days are there of Fantasy's life? Like, if she's immortal, then they're a match made in, well, not Heaven but somewhere. That being said, China doesn't have this many red flags

[@Midoriventure]

@@katelyntaylor7384 There's actually a book on that premise 😂 It's called The Undying King by Grace Draven (who writes AMAZING fantasy books) and the romance is between he who cannot die and she whose touch is death. They balance each other nicely, don't you think?

[@sheersternfeld1914]

The fact that he gave her the key scares me the most. Once she enters the vault, maybe out of curiosity, maybe because she knew one of said exes or knows someone who did, maybe because of a different reason, the vault door is locked. She shouldn't have asked where the exes are, she should have asked how they got there. They all asked themselves the same questions as her. She was doomed from the start.

[@wastedinspiration]

... If my friend told me this I'd say "run", if I read it on the back of a book cover: "gimme more!"

Thought about Fae way too much to not immediately panic at "gave" me the key. "In exchange for what!?" Screams my mind, they dont give gifts! Also surely not THE key, a vsylt like thdt would be too important to give you the jdy if there was only one. And moreover if there was only one triple panic about the cost!
