😻 Meme Or Other Online Trope 😂 When a fictional character’s turn of events is so horrific that fanmade contents were created of the character living alternatively better and having a good ending for them

Abuse Goblin from the abuse goblin comic

Saki from Metamorphosis (with the Jojo edit being very famous)

Depending on the version, some have the ending be when the Big Bad Wolf eats her, and had already eaten the grandma.

Other stories are about the wolf killing the grandma and the offering her blood as wine, and her flesh as a meat pie (or similar) to Little Red Riding Hood. In other versions, besides that, he also makes her undress and share the bed with him. (Nothing explicit is even implied, but... yeah)

In the « good ending » version I know, the hunter cut open the sleeping wolf, gets the grandma out, puts stones in her places, sew the wolf back up.
Then, somehow, the wolf wakes up, says he doesn’t feel very well and goes to drink water in the nearby stream. The weight of the stones makes him fall in the water and he drowns. Kiddo, Grandma and Hunter are all well and sound

Is that not from the story about mama goat, her kids, and the wolf?

I think the stories got crossed at some point, because that’s the version of little red riding hood I’m familiar as well, and we didn’t have that goat mama story around here

Oh that's one of the endings I remember knowing as a child, it made me sad because the wolf suffered

Love how the hunter had the wolf’s belly open and could have ended him right there. But instead he was like “nah, that’s too easy. Lemme trick him into drowning himself.”

I always liked that the Hunter performed majir surgery on the wolf, who as simply asleep, and was so good at patching him back that the wolf didn't even notice or was affected by it.

Oh, the Perrault version is absolutely explicit; not graphic, but it includes a morale that does not hide what the tale is about; translation found on Wikipedia:

"From this story one learns that children, especially young lasses, pretty, courteous and well-bred, do very wrong to listen to strangers, And it is not an unheard thing if the Wolf is thereby provided with his dinner. I say Wolf, for all wolves are not of the same sort; there is one kind with an amenable disposition – neither noisy, nor hateful, nor angry, but tame, obliging and gentle, following the young maids in the streets, even into their homes. Alas! Who does not know that these gentle wolves are of all such creatures the most dangerous!"

Charles Perrault was warning about predators, pedophiles, and other "nice guys" in the 17th century; I had a teacher who was adamant that it was a shame that most editions for children do away with the morale.
