leave it to soman to write a tagatha short story that i am not interested in the slightest to read

[celesteiums]

“the plot revolves around doing something for/about/ because of sophie” was definitely in the whiteboard of the camelot years ‘planning’ stage 💀

since it's meant to be this week. if you get more than a line you win a sad feeling

[celesteiums]

im crying did any of these actually come true?? 😭😭

TAGATHA WEDDING HEADCANONS (before and during the ceremony)

ok let’s do this

[major kudos to @everssball for giving me her input on what would totally happen at the tagatha wedding]

[you can find the rest of my tagatha wedding headcanons here]

note: most of this was written before the ever never handbook came out and may not reflect the ruined character development that took place therein

- per wedding tradition, the royal couple to-be-wed was discouraged to see each other before the wedding on their wedding (tedros couldn’t resist pecking Agatha on the cheek at least once tho and argued that their courtship was anything but traditional) 

- the camelot folk were warned beforehand that the guests would include tedros and agatha’s former schoolmates, but they couldn’t hide their shock regardless when Nevers suddenly arrived at the gates (especially when three of them claimed - 2 of them doing so grudgingly - that they were bridesmaids) 

- the league of thirteen show up (tHE OFFICIAL GATECRASHERS) 

briar rose spent the whole ceremony remarking that it was quite lovely but and also “mildly complaining” why less people showed up to her and Jack’s wedding (“we practically uphold the standard of fairy tales yet more people pay respect to these kids’ wedding?” “rose please dont cause a scene”) 

hansel and gretel keep yelling about when will the reception take place cause minutes later they were already hungry 

tinker bell offered to shower agatha in a rain of fairy dust as she walked down the aisle but agatha said that she’d rather have a simple walk without having another to thing to worry about (“like what if i sneeze while walking? the castle would never live it down”) 

- the coven - or at least hester and anadil - “declined” agatha’s request to be her bridesmaids at first, but with “gentle” encouragement from dot and sophie (plus the excuse to roam through the castle of one of Good’s greatest kingdoms) made them reconsider the offer later on 

- sophie had spent the night prior to the day to help agatha prepare herself for the wedding, so they had one last sleepover where both of them were still single and so they spent the night reminiscing on their childhood and all the things that they’ve been through leading up to this moment (plus Sophie of course teased agatha about the wedding night ;) ) 

- sophie was basically the powerhouse behind “the wedding of the century” (as she dubbed); she often argued with the official wedding planner until the guy declared that sophie would do better job (others claimed that they heard the dean of evil threatening him though a few days before) 

- guinevere and lancelot visit tedros minutes before he needed to leave for the hall to tell him how proud they were of him and how they’d never even dared dream that they’d be able to witness this chapter of tedros’ life (guinevere’s eyes turn glassy here :’( ) and tedros is already getting emotional from the whole thing so he hugs his mother and claps lancelot’s back in affection

lancelot defuses the emotional moment by reminding him to make good on the grandchildren he promised them and guinevere’s like “LANCELOT!!” but later joins him in laughing at tedros’ flustered expression

- merlin comes up to tedros later asking him if he’s ready and if he remembers what to do and tedros replies that he should give him credit at least for his own wedding day (merlin cheekily reminds him then to keep the wedding kiss chaste and they should save the energy for the wedding night)

- meanwhile the coven and sophie are in a flurry around agatha since the ceremony is about start (anadil sends her rats to report on what’s happening in the hall where the wedding will take place “tedros doesn’t look like he’s about to bolt” “good i’d hate to kill the groom on their wedding day” - hester) and dot is wondering how chocolate flowers would taste like as she marvels at the bouquet she’s holding

- sophie and agatha have a really dramatic moment when the procession’s about to start (“sophie i never could’ve found such deep happiness without you” “i feel the same way too aggie - aAAHH STOP CRYING YOU’LL RUIN YOUR MAKEUP” “i thought you used the waterproof kind”)

- so the groomsmen and the bridesmaids are going to be paired in the procession (a fact that dot has no problem with) and chaddick - as the Best Man - shares a few laughs with sophie about how this has got to be the most remarkable wedding in fairy tale history and Sophie’s like “of course darling i HAVE HAD A HAND IN IT OF COURSE" 

- ok so it’s the bridal march now [brb my feels are anodnfeognsje]

- so given that agatha has no one she can really ask to give her away (merlin and lancelot both offered though) she decided later on that she’d like to walk down the aisle alone because this is the fairy tale ending that she chose - that she and tedros and her friends’ worked for and help realized - and she understood that walking alone would better showcase that (plus she’d feel cheated if it wasnt august sader or even stefan to do it for her)

- when tedros finally sees agatha in her wedding dress walking towards him wearing that same heartwarming smile that captivated him years before everything just S T O P S the whole world is at a standstill and all he can do is stare at this lovely girl who he is pledging himself to after the wars they fought in between good and evil boy and girl and old and young and when she finally reaches the altar he can feel himself tearing up because until now he hadn’t really grasped that this girl - agatha his one true love - is someone who sees past his exterior and still finds more reasons to love him

- there isn’t almost a dry eye in the house - guinevere is like full-blown crying and even the other students have to wipe away a tear or two for this couple who saved their world when it needed their help the most and for teaching them the true meaning of Good and Evil and how they’re both integral to each other 

- sophie is crying happy tears at the sight of her best friends getting married and she is just so happy for them it feels her with the contentment that she’d been looking for in the previous books she’s just so overjoyed and awed that this is actually happening

- agatha wasnt planning to cry - even though people told her that as the bride it was ok if she cried - but the sight of everyone so happy for her makes her shed a tear two which tedros gently wipe away (the ladies in the crowd "awww” at this)

- the rest of the ceremony flies by for tedros and agatha (they spend most of the time gazing into each others’ eyes and to attemting to stifle their goofy smiles) except for the bit of excitement that was their wedding vows

- when tedros and agatha finally kiss to signify the end of the ceremony they share a brief but passionate kiss that end with tedros lightly nipping at aggie’s lower lip (earning some wolf whistles from the everboys and a pointed throat clearing from merlin (who’s hiding a smirk behind his closed fist))

- aggie just laughs it off and share a quick smile with sophie and they proceed to walk down the aisle showered by flower petals and tedros and agatha feel that their ever after is finally beginning

follow up: im not saying this means it’s ok to ship agaphie, but let’s not lie and say that soman’s writing didn’t have a hand in this whole mess

reading through some of the local reviews of the school for good and evil movie and im confused

just how are we reacting to the whole agaphie thing??

like did we all not come to an agreement years ago that agaphie is queerbait?

like nobody sensible was actually buying the whole “they were sisters all along” plot twist when even soman himself barely acknowledged their sisterhood in the following books 💀

[celesteiums]

i wish i could contribute something significant to the fandom once again but all i have left in me is tcy slander

[celesteiums]

i tell myself that rhian of foxwood has no power over me then remember he singlehandedly drove me away from the series 🧍🏽‍♀️

[celesteiums]

tempted to reread the entire sge series but also quivering at the thought of having to experience tcy all over again

[celesteiums]

i wanna start editing again but i think i forgot how to use photoshop now plus my laptop’s busted so

[celesteiums]

also yes she is also a tagatha truther and she literally CLAPPED for tedros during his big dramatic entrance like that’s family

was watching the sge movie with my younger sister the other day and she actually pumped her fist in the air when sophie got stabbed in the chest with the storian 😭

His lil face :(

[celesteiums]

my thoughts abt the sge movie

the Good

movie! Tagatha >>>>>>>

Sofia Wylie rising star IKTR

JAMIE FLATTERS MY YT BOTM ITS WHAT HE DESERVES

sophia caruso!! enough said

the deans completely bodied the role im so proud

crazy how i almost had no issue with the costumes and sets of the ones we got because they also cut A LOT out

i will never shut up about Tedros overflowing with charm and softness my sweet boi who i will defend with my every breath

COVEN 66 shined given what little material and screentime they had im impressed

also HORT??? he was creepy but also HILARIOUS he did not annoy me as much as i expected him too

my heart warmed when i saw the princess in the wheelchair :’)))

kit young’s swordfight sequence was such a GOOD first scene like way to establish the stakes are high from the get go

TEDROS AND THE EVERBOYS.mp3 about to enter my spotify wrapped with less than a week of tracking atp

also can we talk about hester’s character design?? the messy hair? demon tattoo that bites her neck?? spitting sparks??? THATS MY GRAND HIGH WITCH ULTIMATE!!!!

MICHELLE YEOH

gregor was a new addition i was pleasantly suprised with and i was sad to see him go like THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED FOR AGGIE!!! MORE EVER FRIENDS!! GIVE ME THE EVER FRIENDSHIPS!!!!

tagatha banter tagatha making fun of teachers tagatha catching each other while everybody watches tagatha smiling because of each other tagatha declarations of love tagatha close shots of holding hands tagatha protecting each other TAGATHA KISS TAGATHA KISS TAGATHA KISS TAGATHA KISS

im glad they cut out the fox scene CALL ME A HATER IDC THAT PART DOESNT NEED TO BE SEEN IRL

also thank you for removing that bit abt tedros feeling betrayed when he saw agatha and sophie dancing at the nevers ball i wouldnt have been able to take anymore of it

them teasing awwp at the end gave me unnecessary hope in them greenlighting the sequels yes i like to suffer

the not-so Good (or things i wish they kept in some way)

they made sophie too nice like im sorry Book 1 sophie was the absolute Worst 

also why did they feel the need to remove the idea of gavaldon knowing about SGE the entire time??? it would have actually helped Sophie’s character better cos the series literally starts with her waiting all her life to be kidnapped

and why tf would sophie just decide to leave gavaldon like that??? we’re talking abt the girl who takes 2 suitcases’ worth of ball gowns with her on every trip here

I was beside myself when i realized we werent getting any coven 66 & agatha friendship moments :(((

where are the nemesis dreams?????

nobody mention august sader to me like im happy for kit and laurence but still HE WAS THE CLOSEST AGATHA HAD TO A  FATHER AND HE WASNT THERE PLUS IF THEY DO AWWP HOW TF ARE THEY GONNA INTRODUCE EVELYN THEN

Sophie’s “villain’s” nose.... followed by sophie doing blood magic..... did they let a jewish person screen this or did the antisemitism just flew over the casts’ head or something

“i’ve been beautiful all along” WHERE IS IT WHERES THE SCENE I SAW THE STILL OF AGATHA IN HER GOLDEN DRESS WHERE IS IT PAUL FEIG IM ON MY KNEES

the tagatha coffin scene was too iconic to be removed rip

i wish they kept the trial by tale as it was in the books.... like im sorry watching sophie avoid getting k worded by the blue forest and her classmates was hilarous

ALSO THE CIRCUS OF TALENTS??? LET AGATHA SHOW OFF HER SPECIAL TALENT TF

my eyebrow twitched when hort called himself a werewolf and not a manwolf

lady lesso having feelings for rafal GET IT AWAY FROM ME

i did not vibe with the modern songs in the movie but ngl rock & roll queen by the subways is on my playlist now so thank you ig??

kiko’s hair... could they not have put it in a bun or something?? like for her asian-inspired gowns i feel like putting her hair up wouldve worked better

sophie kissing a random everboy prince??? just to prove a point??? be serious

i wish we got more hestadil scenes cos we know soman barely did the bare minimum in the books :(((

in conclusion: i love the movie on its own, but the books are definitely a much more grounded and fleshed out universe. on an important note, movie tagatha SERVED SO IM STILL HAPPY REGARDLESS

[celesteiums]

hello guess who’s here after just watching the sge movie

[celesteiums]

hello again!!

look i know i came back and promptly went on another mini-hiatus but hopefully i’ll be slightly more active once finals week is over for me and can freak out about the movie with the rest of yall

also if you wanna know where’s my mental health is atm, let’s jus say we had an elections and the results are 🤡🤡

[celesteiums]

the fact that im still in my qfg layout is sending me like i didnt really touch this app after the book 

[celesteiums]

hi

so it’s been a while.

first of all, im so so so sorry for just leaving without saying a word and essentially ghosting you all

after reading quests for glory, i was planning to take a mini break (because as many of you know it was A LOT to take in) but life... happened, and for my own peace and sanity i had to take a pause on a lot of things.

without getting into it, it was a really difficult time for me (dont worry no crimes were involved) but i considered this space in this fandom one of my happy places, and i didnt want to taint my time here while i was going through some serious sht. 

like i was lowkey using sge as a way to escape my problems at least for a little while, and it got to the point where i couldnt run from things anymore. it even got to the point where i started resenting myself and my interest in this series because i used it as an excuse to avoid certain issues of life (and im still working on forgiving myself for latching onto what tiny comforts i held on to then)

now, things are better for me (i think??) 

i graduated from university with top honors (tho i nearly didnt because i ran away for like a semester which is a story for another day haha) and now im on my way to becoming a professional teacher (tho i still have to take some classes since i still dont feel im quite ready yet)

anyway, i dont assume that most of yall will still remember me, given that the fandom has likely grown and changed over the years since i was gone. 

(ngl, im kinda proud, tho i really wished soman would just let the series rest already 

and yes, i did read acot but no i did not read otk (i couldnt do it anymore im sorry reading the summary + spoilers was enough of a headache) but i digress)

i still remember when i was still one of the 12 sge-focused blogs on this site, back when awwp was still fresh and the fandom here somehow grew and now i had more than 20 people to scream with me as we waited for tlea and the ending of the sge series (btch we really thought dfjdskf)

i remember staying up late at night to make edits, write headcanons, post that one sge reversed au fanfic, even make r*ph** content for the drama (the me back then was a completely different person ok ive changed and grown and developmed my old self before has definitely perished and she is not making a comeback), run an insta accnt and make those sge interviews that i never got to complete (honestly i have a lot of drafts on this site) 

i really did a lot, and im so so so grateful you were all here to celebrate with me, cheer me on, and share in my joys and pains when starting out, all that we had in common was love for the same books and characters

ive truly missed you all, and i wish youve all grown and bloomed into the people you were meant to me in this time. if youre still trying to figure things out, then youre not alone (cos i am DEFINITELY with you like honestly im just doing my best atp hsajkdhs)

that being said, am i truly back? probably not. like i said, im still learning more and more about myself, and i’d like to find some stability before i make anymore commitments i can potentially let go of again (and i’d rather not do that)

i will probably drop by from time to time (and before i actually briefly created another sge account so i could interact with you all again without the pressure of this account but that quickly fizzled out too i know im terrible) especially since the movie’s coming out this year

was my return prompted by the movie announcement? honestly i was planning to come back even before my graduation, but again, you know, life happened (sorry!!), but i promised myself that i would come back definitely before an official trailer dropped 

so like yes and no for that question

im doing fine and well. the fact that im here writing this message is proof of that. still learning. still creating. still forgiving. still here. im so grateful all of you. if agatha could hear and grant my wish, i would thank here for this opportunity to speak with you again.

i love you all.
