I guess it's not as bad as torture and other stuff described here,
but every time I have a story with romance and "overcoming a struggle/ bad guy" I play with the idea of giving the reader the happy ending..
AND then kill one of the characters off.
Like the final battle, they win, but one of them doesn't get help fast enough and dies on the other one.
Or them being happy but then something "out of control" kills one like a car crash or something.
It's not even THAT relevant to the story since it's the end. I just feel drawn to it because it would in some cases be more realistic.
But if I think about it I hate it when that happens. It always makes me cry, cause you watched them grow and struggle then finally they made it. And then they just die.
I cannot think of a time I have done this. There was a scene in Alien Fiction that I almost cut. The character Shiva (one of the aliens) does something involving a human toddler which renders Shiva almost unlikable. Shiva is my wackiest comedic character in an already goofy story, so I stood to lose quite a lot, but I decided to keep it because the aliens are not supposed to be trustworthy, and they seemed to be getting too likable to my mind. I won't go into details here because it's technobabbly sci-fantasy nonsense and would take too long to explain in a story that nobody reads.
I have one in my storyline which includes some torture at some point, but the original rough of it was waaayy too graphic. Not something that I'd actually want to draw or find reference for now that I'm actually making the comic! xD Nowadays I find ways to imply the graphic content in these instances than be direct with them. Makes it creepier, and also less jarring to look at.
o_o I totally would love to see the scraped scenes! My original script and drawings have plenty of gore and violence. Murder, torture, abuse...But readers seemed to be under the impression is a "cute" adventure comic I toned it down...a lot. I had to redraw the "wolf killing" scenes, and in the future I will avoid gore. I don't regret it though, because I want people to enjoy it and there will more "tasteful" violence and lots of blood!.
I have a lot of dark topics in my comic but I don't really want to glorify the worst parts. I don't cut plot points but instead I try to only hint at certain topics or show them without making it too much for the viewers. I don't mind blood or a bit of violence but I don't want to revel in it. I also always want there to be some hope in my comic, even if things gets a bit dark at times.
One of the hardest parts I've had to actually ponder about is the backstory of how one of my characters lost their arms. It's caused by an accident but the character is young at the time, so showing a child going through something horrible is something I really want to avoid. I spent a lot of time thinking about how I'm going to do it and I decided that I'm never going to show a flashback but only have the character talk about it. That way I don't have to cut the backstory out.
...And drop some subtle hints of the violence to come. For example: Mr bunny having a knife soaked in blood in the kitchen sink in the background. That way, when your readers read again and notice all those details, they will go crazy when all makes sense in hindsight.
You just have to look in the background most times 
@jurinova That sounds like a good way to deal with it
That's something I'd love to read. You see cute surface and you don't expect the horrors you'll experience. XD
my comic is also about fairy tales.....but it's not for kids (well not little ones anyhow, mature teens and up i'd say).
And more or less anything goes in my comic. I believe in free speech and that comic worlds are all about escape and not being bound by rules or trends that necessarily are not allowed in the real world.
I would say i would not do rape scenes but I had already done one where my character (a male) got raped by Rapunzel. (i did it in a funny way)
on the whole I think the only things i try to avoid is things looking too gory. (people might be eating for gods sake!)
and i would never make fun of disabled people in a comic, having worked with people in that situation and knowing how hard life is for these people.
Uhhh... I kinda just put it in. My story is straight gore. It all has it's purpose, but its not just :kinda dark. I just threw a warning up, and hoped people would see it. xD
I mean, wing it? My story gets super into it, but it has a purpose every time. Like, my main character is dealing with psychological problems, and almost everyone else is dealing with death from a conqueror who ate people, so... If it has it's place, it could still work. Don't do it to offend people. It's in my novel to throw people for a loop and knock the readers off guard, but I want that to happen so they can understand what it's like to be in the shoes of the lead character. Just warn the potential readers beforehand.
