apple white rant because i love ever after high and just reread the first book

it bugs me when people say they hate apple white because i feel like most of the time they don’t actually have an understanding of her character

her whole life she was told that the only way she could ever be happy was if she followed her destiny and signed the book. then she would be safe. the ways she went about it were very much wrong, but in many cases they weren’t really her actions but rather the actions of adults speaking through her.

also, even though she’s in a position of privilege, she has never held any power over her own life. in the books her and raven go on a quest to see what will happen if raven doesn’t sign, but it was manipulated by grimm to ultimately lead to a dead body as proof of their demise. the books do a really good job at showing the fact that she’s genuinely terrified for her life rather than her happy ending. it’s also specified in the books that she doesn’t think raven will actually become evil. she just thinks that raven will poison her and then continue with a life that will satisfy her (an over simplification but still)

a big part of the reason she’s so keen on having her story (outside of the grooming from all of the adults she trusts most) is bc when she was a kid she almost died and it solidified in her that the only danger she wants to face is the kind she knows she can survive, which does pose a threat of harm for others but it helps people understand her character a little bit more

anyway, in the first book she was more than willing to help raven find an alternative ending. insistent that she helped raven find a happy ending along side her before sealing their fates. even though she really wanted the fairytale ending, she broke rules and helped raven. their journey was corrupted by milton, though, and ultimately led to a dead body that claimed to have wished to sign the book.

she still displays selfishness throughout the series, but she’s a complex character and doesn’t deserve to be simmered down to a greedy, selfish, spoiled princess that’s mad because she won’t get a specific happy ending.

also her relationship with briar in the books is so cute

another interesting detail is before raven refused to sign, those not considered royal were called commoners instead of rebels

and it goes into better detail about what people see in the story book of legends and how they react to it

also apple can’t swim. idk if they mention that in the show

im such a freak about this series omg

if i was a wonderlandian kid and i got stuck at ever after high id be pissed cause not only is there a curse on my home that i can’t return to and im stuck in a world where nothing makes sense- i have to go to school every day instead of once a year. that’s just terrible. like not only do kitty and lizzie not get to see their parents, they’re stuck at a school with a power hungry headmaster that hates fun

sorry if i was weird last night it’s just that i’m weird pretty much every night actually

I feel like part of the reason Apple is so brainwashed into the destiny system (besides the well incident) is that Snow probably went through a worse version of the snow white tale. Like, we know the Evil Queen has already gone outside her destiny to interfere with other stories. It wouldn't surprise me if she also made Snow's story worse for her by changing details to torment her more. So now that Snow and the Evil Queen are grown up. Both of them have children, so it makes sense that Snow would look at Raven and go: "Apple's iteration won't be as awful as mine, and she still gets the same happy ending, so she should be grateful," and how that would bleed into her parenting.
