Lies and secrets your characters is keeping/has kept

Rigamarole is almost literally all about lying and keeping secrets. The primary one being that the FL, Leia, is trying to keep anyone from finding out her little brother's secret, and lying a whole lot to cover it up.

Hunter and hunted, predator and prey, human vs vampires, what will it take to tip the balance in either side's favor?
An heir, a pair, and a brother disappeared.
Human blood fuels a vampire's life and vampire lives fuel human savagery.

A secret that must be hidden in plain sight

Nice try I ain’t spoiling my comic

Leyelle 2024-05-10 03:14:23 UTC #24

lol, sometimes the secrets are known to the readers and just not to others.

Secrets abound in "Lyra's Magnum Opus". Tetsu is keeping the fact that he is bisexual and non-binary from everyone in his life. The whole series is about his journey to reveal it on his own terms and becoming comfortable with these things himself. He is semi-famous in the book's world as a musician and dancer from the start, so he's also keeping it from the world. Sana's band, Lyra, has long kept secret from the music industry that Sana (their singer) has a degenerative illness that is later revealed to be terminal in actual fact, which is the other shoe dropping that most of the band didn't even know. The whole series is about Sana revealing this on his own terms to their fans and the whole world as the band becomes more famous due to their unique situation and new association with Tetsu who is already famous as the drag queen Aurelia. It is also kept secret for a while that Tetsu and Sana are together, and Tetsu gets fired from his management company for being queer due to them finding out about this relationship pretty early on. The slow reveal that Tetsu and Sana are dating and then married is also a major theme in the book (it kinda gets more cute, though, this particular secret, as their mutual fans adore them both as they watch their journey).

Sana kept his disease a secret from his band mates? I can understand not wanting everyone to know, but it's still gotta be hard on them. What's the disease?

*breaks out into a cold sweat * Oof, every character in Apparent Secrets is keeping something from someone. Whether it's "I've been in love with you for months" to "I'm secretly hiding three aliens in my apartment," EVERYONE has something to hide. I think it's fun to tease out each persons' secrets and lies as we go along. The longer you read, the more dirt you dig up on everyone.

Leyelle 2024-05-10 13:50:22 UTC #28

lol. I think most real people have at least a few things they keep secret from at least a few people, so that's pretty realistic and reasonable...except maybe the part about hiding aliens

skidiggy 2024-05-10 13:55:45 UTC #29

Wait, other people aren't hiding aliens from other worlds?
*nervous panic ensues *

Leyelle 2024-05-10 14:02:54 UTC #30

I may have a few characters hiding or harboring aliens lol. Some are unaware they are aliens. I also have an alien trying to hide a human from her parents, because they aren't supposed to be friends

5 out of 6 of my characters are magic based which is a secret they keep from the average world. HOWEVER all of them have deeper secrets that they are keeping from each other (and maybe themselves). BUT SAYING WHAT THAT IS IS A SPOILER-

(The reason I made this piece was because of all the s e c r e t s)

Dominic and Essence don't have a lot of secrets, but Essence doesn't like telling the world about her little sister Beth if she can keep her out of conversation

Leyelle 2024-06-15 01:54:09 UTC #33

I forgot, but I guess I should have realized, the entire way Essence lives her life is sort of a lie, or at least a false front. She is trying very hard to seem as "normal" as possible to keep people from being made uncomfortable by how little she is like most other people.

Leyelle 2024-07-10 14:41:57 UTC #34

Dominic has not told his family about Essence...yet. To his credit, he intends to tell them, but he also knows they aren't going to take it well, and he wants to figure out the best way to introduce them to her

Leyelle 2024-07-31 14:28:52 UTC #35

This is a very poorly kept secret. But neither Texas nor Chili have confessed their feelings for each other yet.

Leyelle 2024-08-20 17:12:17 UTC #36

Aye, this is pretty true of my leads too. Not quite magic, but they are fantasy creatures in the modern world and trying to hide it

Leyelle 2024-08-20 17:12:58 UTC #37

My female lead is keeping tons of secrets because it's crucial to her safety that nobody knows she's a mermaid. Unfortunately that also means constant lying

That's like my whole comic series haha it's literally titled "The Secrets We Keep" XD
Main secret in the story is that the main character is mixed with two celestial bloodlines- this is important because no child born of both bloodlines survives past the age of seven. She has to keep it a secret or the King will kill her. The second is that she is possessed by a full Celestial Demon.

This might count as a secret.

One of my characters was pregnant for 41 years. She used her powers to keep the pregnancy from progressing all the way to birth, so no one but her and her husband knew she was pregnant.

Milo thinks he was forced to marry Kiet because he recorded his video of a clip of killing someone. but the real reason is something else. a dark secret that Milo's father and Kiet are hiding from Milo.
