MORE BISTRO ..... i need to design them all. please just let me cook [cook pun?.....]

[cometblaster2070]

i actually just really like the dynamic of apple and maddie being together, like not in a romantic way; but regardless it's genuinely such a FUN pairing??

like the contrast between those two is such a fun dynamic to play with, because on one hand we have apple, who is a complete stick in the mud, she is basically the posterchild for ever after high in a sense.

she's a stickler for tradition and is very obviously gunning for her destiny. she's someone who likes rules, she's someone who likes order; in fact, she's someone who enforces rules and order. apple is someone who's rather straightforward and very neat and orderly. she carefully plans out each and every thing to make sure that she's on top of everything, and to make sure that nothing can go wrong; she leaves no room for error. apple is also someone who doesn't like chaos, who doesn't like disorder, she doesn't like having elements that she can't control (which in this case could be raven choosing not to sign etc. etc.) and again, apple white is someone who loves structure.

maddie is a bit different obviously. maddie is a proud wonderlandian through and through and damn if she's going to let someone give her shit about that. maddie speaks in riddles. she wears a giant fucking hat out of which she can pull out every known thing to man apparently. she can interact with the narrators of their world and is, i think, the only who ever came close to realizing that their world is one that is fictional and they are just characters.

maddie is nonsensical. she is the opposite of order, the opposite of someone who follows rules and plans and the opposite of someone who loves structure; which is, in this case, apple. maddie is someone who can very easily do the impossible, like eat rocks for instance, if not told that this feat is impossible. she thinks outside the box in all occasions. she's fiercely intelligent and wise but her way of thinking is so unorthodox very few are able to understand her. maddie likes being free i believe. she likes having the freedom to do what she wants, hence she also likes her destiny because the mad hatter's destiny is a rather flexible one.

regardless, i think it's such a fun dynamic to have. you have someone who desperately clings to rules and plans and schedules and orders and who constantly builds upon them and supports them and backs them up in order to feel some semblance of control.

and then you have someone who could not give less of a shit about these rules, who could give less of a shit about conforming to the ideals of ever after high, and who is rather well off simply living in their own way, as they would wish to, without having someone to impose regulations or boundaries upon them.

apple is, genuinely, order exemplified. she is everything that is Ever After High; she follows her destiny to a T, she doesn't want anything else, has never wanted anything else, because this is all she's had in her life. she wants to have control over all things at all times because in the one instance where she wasn't in control, where she was going to drown. she clings heavily to destiny, to order itself, because she feels like it's the safest thing she has; the most sure thing she has.

maddie is, in a sense you could say, chaos exemplified. she's the opposite of what apple white is. maddie likes her destiny, sure, but she's not hellbent on enforcing the ideal of destiny; she'd just rather everyone be happy and free to do what they want. there are no sure things for maddie, someone who is a refugee in a strange new world, someone who had her home ripped away from her. they are no sure things for her but she doesn't let that get in her way, because she realizes that you can't control everything and she ends up much better off for it.

and i think it's such a strange dynamic, these two. the person who fears the loss of order the most and the one who easily breaks it on a whim.

[kaxxooo]

Apple White maybe needs therapy. She’s pretty obsessed with her happily ever after, and when people tell her she can make up her own destiny and live her own life it upsets her? Like she’s not happy with who she would become if people didn’t expect her to grow up to be exactly like her mom?

Man... I can't stop thinking about the things that were talked about on the stream, especially the answer on my question - so... get ready for a ramble! its a long one. oops. i dont even know where im going with this, im just dumping my thoughts somewhere. half is about ttcc lore in general and the streams, the other half is about cathal and me projecting onto him deeper.

before i even hop deeper into this, it wasn't until early today that i learned that there was a whole drama about cranky's answers (regarding the graham and flint question and the whole "keep it sane" thing. i thought it was...off, but i understood it as 'do what you want people, just don't start any harassment because of ships and your favorite pairs'.

definitely could have been phrased better, though. at least we got a good response and an apology later from maven on twitter. but i legit did not know this was a drama until those twitter posts were made LOL. i dont interact with the fandom so i do not know how that answer was percieved by most. or if anyone except for me and my friends have had any thoughts about the question i asked that got answered.)

and what im tryna get to is that i get cranky isnt the one to be answering lore things, and probably didnt know what to answer... but it's still something to think about

because being told "cogs and toons just dont become how they are out of the blue" (paraphrasing here) as an answer to what cathal initially thought of seeing his dad be bet up and thrown off a tower is... confusing? he did say first and foremost that it has to be built upon before saying that. i understand that this is... a lot of characters! and cathal did have some focus on him thanks to the comic and they wanted to focus on other managers... but some have deeper, more intricate lore that's easy to grasp (especially the more, well, angstier managers like chip and misty.)

and we have gotten some extra lore for other managers like belle, mary, tawny.... thanks to thomas' rambles.

and it's definitely difficult for a team of volounteers working hard on a fan game together to make lore for all the characters, that are still very young in their *life span*, having been around for less than a year. despite ttcc being more character driven and focused on the cogs, it's still a game they have to run so they cannot focus on lore only and some game management has to be done first. there's a bunch of things they have to consider, like consistency and how fans may react, or possible themes or what they want the story to be...

and. yeah. its hard since. come on lets admit it. clash has an issue with how these are all given to us. hell, there's lore bits i still dont know about and im still learning because it's..so all over the place. a new player will not know about it. maven acknowledged this in the tweet and i really appreciate that, as it's honestly been my number one issue with clash, especially as someone who is there for the lore. (i mean, and the gameplay, i know some people who don't play the game itself much. well i sure do a little TOO MUCH because i have PROBLEMS. but im interested in the lore, too, yknow?)

some lore you cant learn from the wiki, and unless you interact with the community, you may never learn *where* all of this even is. if you werent live for certain lore there, it's hardly accessible to you. lore locked behind one time events, an arg website, wikis, discord chats... all that. it's hard to keep track of! i'm sure it's like that for both the fans and the writers. these characters are great, fun, and i love them, but the way we are given this information is... not the best. it's very easy to miss certain details.

it's especially bad if you're like me - only ever interacting with a close group of people you trust, (because people are scary especially a lot of... lore driven fans. yeahnoimeanshippers.sorry.and just big crowds of people in general) having only gotten back into the game recently AFTER most of the major lore events (first played once in 2019, then never again until january 2023) and also you dislike youtube and video content, so you dont watch it. something in your brain would rather if you step on a nail than watch a playthrough video (especially with commentary).

like in general it shouldnt be necessary to go through all these hoops just to know the lore! especially for things that may have little lore...

anyways, uh, back to cathal. i cannot stop thinking about this.

it definitely wasnt an answer to what i specifically asked - but possibly more so about... why cathal is the way he is? and despite what my brain and low self esteem during hard times may tell me - i do not believe that anybody is truly "lazy". i just dont think that exists. there's always some reason behind a person being unmotivated or lazy. even the little things!

but like... that's just kinda obvious. all toons and cogs have motivations. thats like... one of the basics of writing characters. have motivations for characters and reasons for why they are how they are. doesnt have to be anything tragic, just.... how they are as people.

it's totally unrelated to the question of what cathal thought about seeing his dad like that... but oh well! i asked that because i made up my own story around that already, and i just wanted to see what someone working on the game thinks about the same idea.

not to be Tumblr User CathalBravecog, but, of course I have projected heavily onto cathal. i have already stated how important cathal is to me as a character, especially with appreciating myself when im.. not exactly the most motivated. when im not doing much. taught me to appreciate breaks. hell! i keep preaching this myself. its okay to take breaks! and yet i often end up not doing it and i overwork myself on games and art and other things.

there's... a lot of things "wrong" with me that i don't have names for yet, especially due to not having a diagnosis for them, but they're very real feelings and they cause me to be unable to do things a lot of the time. various mental blocks and a new member of the gang... physical pai! hooray.

this... endless productivity we are forced and expected to do. it can take a toll on you. breaks are just as necessary and to say it's a thing that has to be re-learned is... sickening. hooray for living in a Corporate (clash) society, fellas.

one thing i can say is that i absolutely headcanon that cathal has adhd - though, maybe not the same type i do. i do not think he gets randomly hyper and wants to (and does) jump around everywhere and blurt things out randomly and impulsively. cathal here has the low energy, yknow.

i like that a lot of the content around him doesnt even describe him with the words "lazy" and "sleepy" instead.

every day is the same... even if his job is relatively simple, just watching over the camera feed - it's definitely boring... and having to do it every day is not rewarding. and being mostly alone and without consequence, he gives into wanting to do something else. he's got these huge screens and a room to himself, and he loves watching shows and cartoons... so he's gonna do that. it's more fun. it's stimulating. and especially with his dad being the one to give him his position, he knows that he's got nothing to really worry about there.

i also think it's a bit hard to be motivated knowing that... this war between the cogs and toons is just. endless. hell, again, he has to see his dad *everyday* be attacked by them. his body damaged after the fall - only to be fixed again. rinse and repeat. i would too, find it pointless. especially if you're like cathal, since i pointed out before that he is very kind and caring towards the other cogs. he's also thoughtful, noting that yknow... a lot of stairs to get to his room.

why do all that when you can chill... and feel good. do something that feels nice...

i don't have any names for this, but with how sleepy he usually is, that's definitely a thing to consider too. and just, from experience... being tired and/or sleepy it... dismotivates you even more. its so hard to start tasks even if you *want* to do them. and considering cathal mooost likely doesn't want to do his work on his own - then these tasks can be just. impossible to start.

like, i have struggled with this my entire life myself, just because of my adhd screwing with everything, but after getting covid and most definitely getting a form of chronic exhaustion from it.. things have been even harder. i pull myself through day and i barely have the energy to even start anything. sometimes i dont even do anything all day and... woops! still no mood or energy to do anything. i just work on random bursts of motivation and things that captivate me...

not sure how it relates to cathal, but, hey, if im personal here ill ramble about it too because WOW it has been biting me in the ass and i need to speak to Professionals About It

like... i dont think hes being "lazy" willingly, yknow? theres a reason behind it. it definitely is just... being sleepy, the comfort... the fun and stimulation doing something fun he's interested in (his shows) are just... stronger desires and way easier for him to get to. why struggle through something when it takes up all your energy, and then you feel no reward for it? yeah. exactly. even just "not feeling like it" is a reson. "not having energy" is a reason. hey, are these things to get better about if needed? certainly. i wish i could get help with this, it would help me in my life so so much. but should it be seen as ENTIRELY negative and as being a "hinder to society". hell nah. and i think thats swag. cathal is swag he can do this, good for him lmaooo. my brain is deteriorating i apologize.

there was... another thing i wanted to say, but i forgot. so i'll move on.

but just... yeah. i dont think cathal is just lazy. i dont believe in "laziness". he's got reasons for why he prefers naps and just... watching tv instead of doing his work. perhaps he does want to do these things, but gave up on trying. its not worth the effort, it does not feel good. its not stimulating enough to keep him going.

(Mini) special 7

AU concept

MASTERLIST

Warning: English is not my first language so sorry if it’s confusing.

I LIVE!!!

AND I’M BACK WITH A NEW HEADCANONS PART!!! ^^

I am so sorry making you wait for so long, a lot of circonstances in my personal life and very bad cases of writer blocks and lack of motivations got in the way! T_T

But now I did it! The new headcanons part is ready! :D

For this part, you asked for it, you were waiting for it! We’re now going into the Way Too Wonderland arc!!! :D 

—------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-At NRC, after the festival’s events, the students were going on their daily lives, one student however seemed very distracted: Lizzie Hearts.

-Lizzie was being more home sicking than usual, especially ever since she received an invitation for her mother’s birthday.

-Things go similar to the EAH canon: the EAH transfers find out thanks to Brooke and are tricked into being spirited away in Wonderland but instead of the Evil Queen it's Milton Grimm and Snow White who tricked them.

-Since Apple is either a RSA students(Apple's Happily Ever After path) or locked in a mental institution (Apple's Badly Ever After path), Yuu and Grim took her place in the group for the Wonderland adventure.

-The TWST boys who get spirited away in Wonderland with the EAH transfers: the Heartslabyul gang.

-When Riddle learned there's a conspiracy against the current Queen of Heart, he went on board to help Lizzie and the others and the rest of the Heartslabyul gang got ropped in.

-Just like the EAH girls, the Heartslabyul gang, Yuu and Grim get Wonderland outfits.

-As they explore Wonderland, the group end up caught into Wonderland shenanigans and unwillingly step on Wonderland High ground making them meet Chase and forcing them to attend the school.

-Like in the canon, the group follow the school studying course to graduate and be able to leave.

-Riddle, Lizzie, Maddie and Kitty are the ones that come out the best in those classes.

-The others aren’t going bad at the class but some have big difficulties to go with the classes’s weirdness (*cough*Deuce, Ace and Grim*cough*).

-During their “stay” at the school the group meet Lily, the daughter of the White Queen.

-While talking with her, they learn she found out some times ago a book which looked very much like the Storybook of Legends(as she never saw it in person before Lily isn’t sure) and during a conversation with her mother through mirrorpads, the latter “advised her” to give the book to the Queen of Hearts for her birthday.

-She was about to add more when the group had to go back to classes.

-Back at NRC, everyone is actively searching for the missing students.

-Brooke was very frustrated to not be able to do anything to help, no matter how often she tried to contact someone through NRC’s mirrors but failed every time.

-She then discovered she can interact with objects, an ability she used to send a message which got found by Darling who then without wasting any time put on her armor, took Sir Gallopad and went to Wonderland through NRC’s well to go help her friends.

-She managed to infiltrate Wonderland High and to end up in the same classes than the NRC group and warn them about the conspiracy against the Queen of Hearts. 

-Like in the EAH canon, Courtly made sure to make the classes impossible for the NRC group to succeed.

-At the chess game turned into a un-chess game Raven took Lily’s place as the white queen piece much to Lily’s frustration(‘I never get to play!”).

-Ace profit from the chess game changements to provoke a battle dance which result in a battle dance between Chase and Darling and give the opportunity for the others to sneak away.

-They get however intercepted by Lily who doesn’t understand why they sneak away like that and risking to fail their courses.

-When they explained to Lily about the conspiracy and the possible involvement of the White Queen, Lily was at first in denial ‘cause that would mean that not only her mother is involved in a crime against the Queen of Hearts, which is VERY severe, but also used her as a pawn which in the white chess kingdom and in the red chess kingdom is extremely serious.

-Headcanon: In Wonderland, using a chess piece which is beneath or against it purpose is a crime which could be very severe to an act of treason if the chess piece used is a royal piece.

-The others insist and told Lily to be on the look out and leave.

-Like in the canon, Courtly played with time and make the group failed their classes and get them sent to a trial.

-Things were not doing good for the group and they were about to be found guilty when Deuce objected that Courtly committed a more severe fault by having transgressed some of the Queen of Hearts rules. 

-The rules in questions are “One must not play with time as, like with food, time must not to be wasted” and “Creating more no-sense in a no-sense society only disturb society’s order, this why, any no-sense perpetrator must be punished”.

-Courtly try to deny it but thanks to their magic the NRC group managed to prove she indeed messed with time to sabotage the group’s classes, which had also unwittingly sabotaged the classes of all the other students of Wonderland High.

-The more Courtly tries to justify herself or make up excuses, the more the group, particularly the Heartslabyul group, point out a Queen of Hearts rule she broke.

-Courtly, being so frustrated, end up snapping at them “WHO CARES ABOUT THOSE STUPID LAWS?!”.

-This put her in trouble with the caterpillar judge and in panic, Courtly teleported away thanks to a magical device.

-She teleported in her office to call Milton and Snow White in panic but the two told her to get a grip and that all is still according to plan ‘cause the White Queen reported to them that Lily had give the true Storybook of Legends to the Queen of Hearts for her birthday and told Courtly to go retrieve it.

-Meanwhile, Lily, still a bit shaken by what the NRC group told her, called her mother hoping all this was just a misunderstanding, but to her horror the White Queen confirmed that she was aware that the book Lily give to the Queen of Hearts was the actual Storybook of Legends and revealed that she told Lily to give the book to the Queen of Hearts ‘cause it was part of a plan to give the book back to Milton Grimm and to dethrone the Queen of Hearts to “Make things straight again”.

-She was even acting as if Lily was on board with the plan and ended up the call, leaving her daughter drowning in the horrible realization that not only her mother committed the crime of having used her daughter, her heiress, as a simple pawn but also for participating in a conspiracy against the Queen of Hearts.

-With the NRC group things realized that Courtly escaped to go steal the Storybook of Legends and quickly escaped Wonderland High to go to the Card Castle.

-Things go a bit like in the EAH canon and Kitty at one point vanished to go retrieve the book in the present room and Riddle, although at first upset to see Lizzie this distressed, quickly realized that the Queen of Hearts was doing an opposite game.

-Kitty reappeared smuggly when Courtly came with the “book” in her hands thinking she won and used a magical device to permit Milton Grimm and Snow White to enter Wonderland and give her the book.

-But when she asked them about her future “new destiny as Lizzie’s remplacement” like they promised only for Milton, Snow White and the White Queen to look at her as if Courtly was crazy and told her that there was no way she would take Lizzie’s destiny and that this plan was to push her and all the other “EAH students” to go back to the “rightful destiny” making Courtly realized that she have been tricked.

-But when Milton opened the book and try to defuse the illusion magic of the wonderland water, he realized it wasn’t the actual Storybook of Legends but a simple sketchbook stylized like the Storybook of Legends and then noticed a smirking Kitty holding the real book.

-See, when Kitty talked with her mother on Card Castle’s roof, the latter give her a sketchbook looking like the Storybook of Legends under the pretext that those were very popular in Wonderland and that she wanted to give it to Kitty as a gift ‘cause “it would be useful to her”.

-This gave Kitty the idea, once she appeared in the present room, the idea of replacing the disguised Storybook of Legends with the sketchbook so like this Courtly would find it instead of the real one.

-Furious, Milton Grimm by using his magic summoned strange dark creatures to attack the NRC group to take the book.

-The NRC group were shocked to see that the creatures’s aura was the same than the overblot monsters’s.

-The thing is: When Milton got interested in the overblot forms, he studied them, even collected the dark rocks from overblots to create minions with them and his magic.

-As the NRC group were about to fight, despite the creatures outnumbering them, everyone got suddenly interrupted by an army composed of the white chess piece students, Darling, Chase and all of them lead by none other than Lily.

-The White Queen tried to defuse the situation but Lily snapped to her that they don’t take orders from a traitor.

-With the White Queen’s confusion Lily is like “White Queen! You are accused of high acts of treason for having conspired against the Queen of Hearts and for having used your own heiress for a role beneath her role as a royal chess piece!”

-A battle happens with the chess pieces and the NRC group against Milton Grimm, Snow White, the White Queen and their creatures.

-Through the battle, Lily give orders and instructions to the chess pieces students like it was a game of chess.

-At one point, Raven found herself with the book and as she was about to be attacked by Milton’s creatures, she unlocked her unique magic “Mirror on the wall”.

-This unique magic permits Raven to create mirrors which act like portals that Raven can use. 

-She use her new found unique magic to escape the creatures’s assault.

-Thanks to the efforts of the TWST group and of the chess pieces students, Milton’s creatures are little by little defeated.

-Snow White, enraged by how things are going, was about to use the little number of spells she knows to attack Raven only to be blocked and finding herself in a 1v1 against Vil.

-Courtly, that everyone forget about in the heat of the battle, enraged was about to take it out on Lizzie but Riddle spotted her in time and used “Off with your head” to put a collard on Courtly and incapacitate her.

-At one point, Raven noticed Milton Grimm being about to throw a spell attack on Vil, she used her “Mirror on the wall” to teleport herself just in time to throw herself between Vil and the spell, using the Storybook of Legend as a shield which made the spell and the book and turning it into ashes, much to the horror of Milton, Snow White and the White Queen and freeing officially the citizen of the Ever After world from the Destiny ideology.

-With Milton, Snow White and the White Queen been stunned in horror with what happened, Lily and Lizzie profited from the situation to make a direct attract on Snow White and the White Queen and as they incapacitate them both, Lizzie and Lily both tell with a smirk “Check mate!”.

-Seeing his allies defeated, Milton was about to retaliate, he got interrupted by the surprise apparition of the Evil Queen and the teachers of NRC who even destroyed the last creatures.

-Turns out the teachers back at NRC found also Brook’s message about what was happening in Wonderland and after they contacted the Evil Queen, they go to Wonderland through the way in the NRC’s well.

-Seeing they were surrounded, Milton and Snow White got no other choice but to retreat and escape, leaving the White Queen behind.

-Everyone celebrated the victory, the White Queen got arrested for her treason against the Queen of Hearts and got removed from her title as the White Queen and the title was then given to her daughter Lily.

-But the rejoices died down when the atmosphere became tense because of the presence of the elephant in the room: the Evil Queen, the one responsible for the curse in Wonderland, being present.

-But what shocked the Wonderlandians was the Evil Queen, being respectful toward the Queen of Hearts, bowing to her and solemnly apologizing for having put the curse on Wonderland.

-While the Queen of Hearts appreciate the Evil Queen came clean about her wrong doings, she still had committed a big crime against Wonderland by having put the poisoning curse which created more chaos in Wonderland and had broken the “Creating more no-sense in a no-sense society only disturb society’s order, this why, any no-sense perpetrator must be punished”.

-As the atmosphere was becoming a bit uncomfortable, Riddle came up with a solution with the Queen of Hearts rule 053 “You must replace anything you steal”.

-Since the Evil Queen had “stolen” the no-sense order of Wonderland with her curse which made the Wonderlandians madder, her punishment could be that she had to “replace” the no-sense order by removing the curse and bring everything back to “normal” in Wonderland.

-The Queen of Hearts, interested by the suggestion and intrigued by the fact that someone this young and who is not a native from Wonderland seem to understand her rules well enough to know how to use them, accepted the idea and decreed that as punishment for her crimes against Wonderland, the Evil Queen will had to remove the curse she put on Wonderland, punishment the Evil Queen accepted.

-With Raven’s assistance, the Evil Queen and Raven used their magic to remove the curse bringing Wonderland back to “normal” and removed the barrier and the Evil Queen is officially forgiven by the Queen of Hearts.

-Everyone was happy but then came the next matter: what to do with Courtly?

-After much discussion between the adults, it was decided that for having actively participate in the conspiration against the Queen of Hearts Courtly was going to be exile from Wonderland to NRC where she will be a student and being straighten up and being in house arrest where the teachers and the students will keep a very close eye on her.

-Once everything was settled, the Queen of Hearts invited everyone to her birthday party to celebrate the end of the curse.

-During the party the Queen of Hearts get to know Riddle, who was very honored to meet the current Queen of Hearts, and was very impressed by the amount of knowledge and understanding her daughter’s new friend had about her rules.

-If whoever who use the AU go with the Riddle/Lizzie ship: The Queen of Hearts will approve of the relationship, thinking Riddle is a fine young man perfect for her daughter and during a play of croquet during the party she will give Riddle a bright pink flamingo which Riddle and Lizzie will quickly understand the meaning as, as stated by the rule 069 of the Queen of Hearts rules “If the queen approve her heir’s relationship she must give her blessing during a game of croquet by offering her future in-law a bright pink flamingo”(made up rule for the AU).

-During the party Crowley and the other NRC teachers interrogate the NRC group about what happened to the Storybook of Legends and were very pleased to learn that the book was destroyed and Crowley happily announced that he will send a message to their world to be spread across Twisted Wonderland and the Ever After world to announce the wonderful news.

-As the party was going on, back in Twisted Wonderland and the Ever After world everyone received the news about the destruction of the Storybook of Legends, putting everyone in a euphoria, the Ever After world citizen were all overjoyed that they were finally officially free, that the destiny ideology finally came to an end.

-But back in the Never After realm Milton and Snow White, but particularly Milton, are enraged by what happened to the Storybook of Legends, falling step by step into madness in their anger and hunger for going back in control.

[blackbirdsnonsense]

Figured I might as well see what happens if I just post the EAH fic I wrote directly on here instead of the FF.N link I posted.

So here we go!

*****

What’s Going To Happen To Me?

Raven hummed happily as she put away her winter clothes for the second time that year.

“Having a snow day in summer was fun, but I’m glad it’s all finally over and things are starting to heat up again,” she mused.

“Mmhmm,” Apple absently-minded answered from her side of the room.

Raven turned to find her roommate just staring into her closet and fiddling with her clothes.

“You okay?” she asked.

Apple jumped a bit from the unexpected question then spun around with a forced smile plastered on her face.

“I’m fine! You’re fine! The school is fine! We’re all fine! Everything is fine!” she said with forced cheerfulness.

Raven crossed her arms over her chest and cocked her head.

“Okay, that is far too many ‘fines’ to be believable,” she retorted.

Apple let out an exasperated sigh then practically flung herself onto her bed in a very dramatic fashion.

“You’re right, I’m not fine! I haven’t been fine since…since…” she trailed off and just stared at the ceiling of their dorm room.

“Since it turned out that Daring isn’t your One True Love?” Raven ventured.

She nodded then forced herself to sit up on the edge of her bed so she was facing her friend.

“Yeah,” she confessed in a defeated tone.

Raven walked over to the bed and sat down next to her then put a comforting arm around her friend’s shoulder.

“It’s okay Apple,” she tried to reassure her.

“HOW is it okay?!” Apple shouted, jumping up from the bed and throwing her arms up in annoyance. “Everything I know is gone now! You’re not going to poison me! Daring isn’t going to wake me with a kiss! So does that mean I’m never going to be queen?! That I’m never going to get my Happily Ever After?!”

Raven let out an annoyed groan and rolled her eyes.

“I thought we had finally moved past this! You don’t need to follow your story Apple!” she explained for what felt like the millionth time.

“BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT IT!!”

The words bounced off the walls for a few seconds before the room grew deathly quiet. The two girls stared at each other for a bit before Apple’s usually cheerful and confident face fell and tears began to well up in her eyes.

“Apple,” Raven said softly before she started to get up and comfort her friend.

Apple stopped her with an outstretched hand.

“No. No I need to get this out,” she confessed.

She took a moment to compose herself so she could get it out. She wiped away her tears, soothed the wrinkles from her skirt then took a deep breath and straightened her stance.

“Okay,” she said to herself as much as Raven. “Back when you didn’t sign the Story Book of Legends, I was mad at first. Well, first I was shocked and then I was mad. Then I was scared but that past once you didn’t go poof. But that made me realize you really could write your own destiny and that…that made me jealous.”

“Jealous?” Raven asked with a quirked eyebrow.

“Yes. Cause it meant you really could do whatever you wanted to do. But me? I had to follow my story. I had to become the next Snow White. It’s what my entire life has…had been building up to. Everything I did after Legacy Day? Always trying to get you back to following your evil destiny? That was me lashing out because I didn’t know what else to do. It was wrong and I’m sorry.”

Raven stood up and walked over to her friend, placing her hands on her shoulders in a reassuring manner.

“It’s okay Apple,” she told her. “Just like I did back in the Enchanted Forest for…all of that.”

Apple brushed a bit of hair behind her ear nervously and turned her head away.

“Yeah…about that…” she mummered.

Raven dropped her arms and quirked an eyebrow. Apple looked like she was about to say something but instead turned and walked towards the window. She looked out at the campus of Ever After High and what she could see of the Book End just beyond that. She stared out further into the horizon as she tried to find the right words.

“Everything that happened that week? I could easily say it’s because your mom got into my head because my mom got into my head. But the truth is…I wanted to believe her. That maybe everything could go back to the way it was and things could be…simpler. Easier,” she confessed before her body sagged forward like a weight had just been placed on it. “But that’s never going to happen, is it?”

“No, it’s not,” Raven told her firmly before her voice softened again. “And look, I know better than anyone how manipulative my mother can be. In fact, if we’re confessing things, she nearly got me to let her out of the mirror earlier that day!”

“What?!” Apple exclaimed in disbelief, whipping her body around.

“Yeah,” Raven admitted, rubbing her arm nervously. “She got me upset, and my magic started reacting to that. If Nevermore hadn’t been there to calm me down, I could have shattered the glass myself.” She let out a breath, happy to finally have that off her chest. “I think that’s why I got so mad at you when you said you freed her. I mean, you could have told any one of us, I would have understood,” she paused to calm herself down again. “But I think I was more mad at myself for not doing more to make sure she didn’t escape. Well, and mad at my mother in general for everything she was doing to the school and our friends.”

“I guess it wasn’t the proudest day for either of us, was it?” Apple said with a half smile.

“It was not,” Raven returned the smile. “But it’s over now and we can both move forward!”

“And that leaves me back right where I was!” Apple huffed. “What do I do now that my story isn’t secured?”

“Apple. In all this worrying you’ve been doing, has it even occurred to you that you’ve already lived out your story?” Raven pointed out.

The blonde blinked in confusion. “What?”

“Well let’s see, you ate a poison apple, fell into an enchanted sleep and werd woken up by a kiss from a Charming,” Raven recapped, ticking off each beat on her fingers. “Sounds like the story of Snow White to me.”

“Except it was the WRONG Charming!” Apple stressed.

“Was it?” Raven countered, placing her hands on her hips.

“YES!!! It has to be the wrong Charming! It HAS to be!!” she repeated.

It was then that Raven noticed the look in Apple’s eyes. Desperation. Not for her story to be played out as it should; she had seen that enough over the semester to recognize it. This was something else. Something deeper. Something…personal.

“Apple…” she whispered, stretching out a hand to her friend and taking a step forward.

In what felt like just a blink, Apple crossed the small distance between them and held Raven in a tight hug as she began to cry into the pale girl’s shoulder, holding onto her as if her life depended on it.

“I can’t! I can’t!” she just kept repeating. “My mother…”

And instantly Raven understood. She wrapped her arms around the weeping girl in the tightest embrace she could to let her know she was safe.

“It’s okay. It’s okay,” she whispered.

“But she already hates I have blonde hair and reading glasses. Now this? What if…? What if…?” Apple sobbed, unable to finish the thought.

“Then she’s an idiot and you’re better off without her,” Raven said venomously.

“But…but she’s my mother.”

“Yes, and mothers don’t always have your best intentions in mind. Again, I know!”

“But..”

Raven pulled Apple out of the hug so she could look her the eyes.

“Uh-uh,” she said with a shake of her head. “I don’t want to hear what your mother might think. I want to hear what you, Apple White, know!”

Apple’s bright blue eyes stared into Raven’s lavender eyes and saw conviction. A confidence in her she herself wasn’t even sure she had. But maybe this was the time to find out if she did. She placed her hands on Raven’s shoulders to share her strength before she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She let it out slowly, calming her stressed nerves as she prepared to make a declaration even bigger then the one she made on Legacy Day.

She opened her eyes to look back at Raven, that same confidence she had just seen now shining in them.

“I, Apple White, am…” the final word caught in her throat.

Raven nodded in encouragement.

“I am…”

Another pause and growing frustration with herself.

“I’M GAY!!!” she finally shouted.

“Yeah, you are!” Raven cheered and pulled her into another hug.

Apple returned the hug, a much warmer hug than before. Instead of being done out of need and desperation, this one was done out of love, support and acceptance. A hug between two friends that would be there for each other no matter what.

But there was one thing that bothered her.

“Why did you say it like that?” she asked.

“Huh?” Raven asked back, her eyes opening in panic.

Apple pulled away from the hug so she could see Raven’s face.

“The way you said it. It’s like you were…expecting me to say that,” she clarified.

Raven’s eyes darted side-to-side for a moment as she tried to think up an excuse but she just sighed and slumped.

“You know what? I don’t have the energy to do this anymore. We ALL know you’re gay Apple!” she revealed. “We’ve known for forever after! We’ve just been waiting for you to catch up!”

Apple baulked at what she was hearing.

“W-what do you mean ‘we’?! Who else ‘knew’ this?!” she demanded.

“EVERYONE!! Do you have any idea how many times we had to drag Cedar away or cover up her mouth so she wouldn’t just blurt it out?!”

The blonde began to rub her temples as she tried to process all this new information.

“Why…why would any of you think that?” she muttered.

“Oh come on Apple!” Raven snapped! “I’ve seen how you’ve looked at Darling. It’s why I wasn’t surprised when Maddie told me about what happened! I also saw how you looked at my mother in her Mira Shards disguise and we are definitely talking about that later!” She huffed then softened her voice again. “Look, the point is we already know you’re gay and we accept you for you are. And everyone will be happy to know that you’ve finally accepted you for who you are.”

Apple held up a hand. “Can we just pause for a moment. This is…a lot to take in!”

“Right. Sorry,” Raven apologized with an embarrassed smile.

The overwhelmed princess became to pace around the room as she tried to process the events of the last few minutes. Her story had apparently already played out so she should get her happily ever after now but it’s not a guarantee. She finally worked up the courage to admit to her friend, and importantly herself, that she was gay but apparently Raven, along with everyone else, already knew that! Also, apparently she had been sending “looks” to Darling that she wasn’t even aware she was doing.

Darling.

“What am I supposed to do about Darling?” she asked

“Do you want me to answer that or was it rhetorical?” Raven asked.

Apple jumped in surprise then whipped around to face her friend who gave a weak wave with her fingers in response.

“I didn’t realize I said that out loud,” she confessed with an embarrassed blush.

“Oh. Well…um…” Raven stammered awkwardly.

“It’s okay. What were you going to say?”

“Well, I was thinking…have you thought of just…asking her out?”

A horrified expression came across Apple’s face.

“No! No, no, no, no!” she vehemently responded as she shook her head. “I can’t just do that!”

“Why not?”

“Well. I can’t just ask her out! She woke me out of an enchanted sleep with true love’s kiss! You can’t follow that up with, ‘Hey you want to go to the movie’s Friday?’” she sighed. “No, this has to be something big, something bold, something…magical! And I should definitely bring a present! Maybe flowers? No, wait I don’t think she likes flowers. But she does like swords! Is a sword a good present to give on a first date?”

“I don’t think a sword is a good present to give on any date,” Raven remarked.

“Well, I have to figure out something,” Apple muttered as she rubbed her chin. She then snapped her fingers. “I got it! I’ll make a list!”

“No Apple, don’t make a list…” Raven pleaded.

But it was too late, Apple was already typing away furiously on her Mirrorphone as she walked over to her bed and sat down.

Well, at least she’s feeling better, Raven thought with an amused grin.

The End…

…Is Just The Beginning

i couldnt get enough of the ninjago monster high au i and @lonleyzodiac made so we made an ever after high au as well

the characters are all the sons and daughters of fairy tales with their elemental powers being tied moreso towards their heritages rather than anything else

the parents are more loosely based on the fairytale characters they stand in for tbh anyways characters under the cut

in no particular order, here’s some characters + their alignments (royal (will/wants to follow in the footsteps (destinies) of their parents) or rebel (will not follow their destinies), they’re all standins but not direct remakes of the EAH characters:

lloyd garmadon (rebel) - son of garmadon (or the evil king i guess)

nya hearts (rebel) - daughter of the knave and queen of hearts (intended to follow the destiny of the knave of hearts (being put on trial and punished for a crime she didn’t commit))

kai hearts (rebel (former royal)) - son of the knave and queen of hearts (intended to follow the destiny of the queen of hearts (becoming king of wonderland))

cole brookstone (rebel (former royal)) - son of the big bad wolf

jay hatter (rebel (former royal)) - son of the mad hatter

euphrasia charming (royal) - daughter of prince charming (standin for darling charming)

percival charming (royal) - son of prince charming (standin for daring charming, he constantly went after sora who was just not into him until he met arin)

echo julien (rebel) - a pinocchio-like character cursed to become a villain in his destiny (he’s cursed to become mr. e)

scott thorne (rebel (former royal)) - son of the dark fairy (clarification: in this au scott acts nothing like faybelle, he’s an absolute sweetheart in this don’t worry)

jordana jester (royal) - daughter of the joker card

vania beauty (rebel (former royal)) - daughter of sleeping beauty

akita blanc (royal) - daughter of the white rabbit

morro huntsman (rebel) - son of the huntsman (snow white)

wyldfyre (rebel) - daughter of beauty (beauty and the beast)

sky pirates (all royals) - children of captain hook’s crew

tox breadhouse (rebel) - daughter of the candy witch (hansel and gretel)

chamille swan (royal) - daughter of the swan queen

gale goldilocks (gossip) (royal) - daughter of goldilocks

cinder redford (rebel) - son of the red queen (not to be confused with the queen of hearts) (people think he’s the son of cinderella) (he’s not)

first headmaster (nickname for the first spinjitzu master) - just the first spinjitzu master, headmaster of ever after high

wu - FSM’s son, resident man-trapped-in-the-library-and-forced-to-speak-riddlish of the AU

garmadon - lloyd’s father, the evil king, wu’s brother and FSM’s son

the ships in this au (i always have to include ships i’m sorry /hj) are: technoshipping (jay x zane), lostshipping (cole x geo), citrus/deadbolt(?)shipping (echo x morro), royalshipping(?) (vania x harumi) and windtech/typewriter (sora x euphrasia) + not really a ship but percival having a massive one-sided crush on arin (who is completely oblivious to said obvious crushing)

most character last names are carried over from ever after high btw

characters crushing on other characters in EAH will be removed in this AU due to age differences unless stated otherwise

if you want to ask questions about any of my AUs, please do!!

[lauri-rosehearts]

Its been a while since I’ve actually sat down to discuss EAH lore or anything EAH related in general. I got a good amount of promps but right now I wanted to focus on one that was submitted to me by @birdbombs714 regarding my thoughts on Alistair and Lizzie’s relationship

Thank you so much for this idea! And happy birthday! (Edit: Where I live it’s already almost 1am so in my time zone, it’s technically the day after as I’m posting this so I’m a bit late. I’m so Sorry. I meant to post this sooner 😭) Thought I’d dedicate this one to you as a little gift if you will! Hope you enjoy :)

Something I find really interesting regarding Alistair and Lizzie in general is the fact that they’re one of very few “future villain and hero” duos that dont seem to have any sort of tense relationship. On the contrary, all the wonderlandians seem to have been good friends from a very young age. But as the characters destined to be the next Alice and the next Queen of Hearts, its very refreshing seeing these two just being friends with no real hard feelings towards each other. Like it honestly makes me wonder what kind of relationship their moms had.

You know I love going into the parents lore when it can provide an expansion on the children’s lore so lets talk about Alice and the Queen of Hearts real quick, both in the context of EAH and in the Alice in wonderland story. In the context of EAH, I don’t think they were ever super close friends like Alistair and Lizzie, but I do think they had a good deal of respect for each other even before committing to their stories. There never seems to be any implication that Lizzie’s mom hated Alistairs mom, which I actually find quite fitting given their characterization in the original story. What’s interesting about their dynamic in the original Alice in wonderland story is the fact that their dynamic isn’t really influenced by something personal like a good amount of fairytale hero and villain duos (for example: Snow White and the Evil Queen). Instead, it’s influenced by the fact that Alice finds herself in a place where all rules and logic work differently, hence why she runs into so many weird and frustrating misunderstandings with the characters. The Queen of Hearts is a temperamental tyrant whose bad side is very easy to get on given the amount of people she executes for petty reasons. Alice just so happens to especially gets on her bad side for the simple reason that Alice doesn’t know how to navigate the logic of the world shes in, and as a result she accidentally does and says things that go against the logic and customs of wonderland and as a result, especially piss off the Queen.

With that said, lets talk about how this translates over to Lizzie and Alistair. I’ve talked about this in the past, but I wholeheartedly subscribe to the theory that the reason Alistair’s last name is “Wonderland” instead of “Liddel” like Alice in the original story, is because during the Evil Queen’s takeover, Alice probably either disappeared or died (this is also potentially supported by the fact that we see all of the wonderlandians’ parents at some point with the exception of Alice), and so, Alistair was sort of co-parented and raised by all the other wonderlandians parents in Wonderland. And so, they renamed him from “Alistair Liddel” to “Alistair Wonderland” as a sort of tribute to both his mother and the world. We know Alistair canonically grew up in Wonderland unlike his mother, so he’s used to the logic and customs of the place despite the narrative of his story’s legacy saying otherwise. He quite literally grew up around Lizzie and the others and I actually attribute this to Lizzies relationship to her destiny. We know from her bio information that while she wants to follow her destiny, Lizzie wants to be a less villainous, kinder Queen of Hearts than her mom, and even then it’s implied her mom wasn’t actually that bad and became a lot more temperamental as a result of the wonderland curse (hence why I also think in the context of EAH, Alice and the Queen of Hearts didn’t dislike each other that much. ). Because Alistair and her were raised right alongside the other wonderlandians, Lizzie has no reason to dislike Alistair the way the Queen of Hearts does to Alice in the original story. On the contrary, she considers him one of her closest friends. Obviously, she probably has other reasons, but her friendship with Alistair is probably one reason she wants to be more lenient in her future reign.

That analysis aside, I definitely think they’re just friends, nothing romantic. I know some people ship them but I personally prefer Lizzie with Maddie and Kitty over anything. Also this is a 100% on the writers but when compared to Lizzie, Kitty, and Maddie, Alistair and especially Bunny’s characterization suffers pretty greatly, I feel. Mainly because most of their individual screentime is dedicated to their romantic feelings for each other, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but the way their relationship is portrayed frustrates me so much so I don’t really pay much attention to it. As a result though, it makes shipping Alistair with anyone else in his friend group also really hard, because when compared to someone like Lizzie who has a lot of development, he doesn’t feel as fleshed out, yknow. This isn’t Alistair slander, its just my personal view. When thinking of the 5 wonderlandians as a group, I think of them as a sort of found family more than anything. And as far as romantic shipping goes, I mainly focus on Lizzie, Kitty, and Maddie as a sort of poly relationship. But anything is valid as long as its not illegal, obviously.

I apologize if this feels really unorganized and convoluted but I had a lot of thoughts and I was trying my best to fit them in this post in a way that felt correlated 😭. But anyway, I don’t talk about Lizzie that often even though shes my favorite wonderland and overall right up there in my top 5 favorite characters in Ever After High so this enabled me to talk about her a pretty good bunch ❤️

[xbomboi]

Hi, hello, you’re stuff is absolutely amazing and all the praises.

(Seriously everything eah you’ve made so far feels so canon plausible it’s hard to believe, are you planning to make a career out of these skills/have one? You’d do amazing)

Onto a very generic question I would not be surprised might already be sitting in your inbox.

I am aware that your current project is to continue on ever after high with all the cannon (mostly the cartoon I think, but I can assume the books count too? And maybe doll boxes/diaries? It’s a lot).

If there was one subject you would want to rewrite or remove from canon entirely, what would it be (challenge would be to not name the disaster that is epic winter).

And on a lighter note, favorite/stuck-on-repeat part of the series (I’m sorry this ask is so long, Idnk how to shorten things)?

omg no this isn’t too long at all i’m actually so thrilled to be given something this long to look at!

for starters, in terms of continuing ever after high, my thing is that i want to follow the show canon above all, but i do want to conclude a lot of the stuff touched on in external media such as books and dairies etc. though in doing so i’m not going to treat anything that doesn’t come straight from the show as something to abide by completely. because the show and the books and what not have inconsistencies in numerous ways, such as defining what a royal/rebel is, or characterization, or even the novelizations of the specials having alternate tellings of the stories. i don’t even want to really necessarily change anything mentioned in the books when adapting it so much as ADD to the information provided in ways that aid the story in which i aim to tell.

i.e. the evil queen turning raven’s puppy Prince into a bone rat. what about Nevermore? where was she? WHEN was she? well i think the evil queen could have perhaps, upon feeling remorse, secretly gone and sought out a dragon for raven, and brought Nevermore home without telling raven it was her doing, so that she would have a new pet companion.

anywho, as for your actual questions, for the first one, i’m probably gonna have to go with the whole sequence in Way Too Wonderland when they’re going from class to class. see, when i first watched it, i got this feeling they were going to go from class to class and in each one a different girl in the group would demonstrate their strong point in solving how to pass the class.

if not that, i think i’d change who got to go and do the whole storybook page thing in Thronecoming. i think it should have just been the core four + ashlynn there, really. and less of them could have opened the door for more time getting to see briar seeing what raven’s point of view is like when faced with the reality of her story.

on a more basic note i’d just go back and make sure everyone were not introduced to from the start is actually there. at least, there for Legacy Day. they don’t have to talk or do anything, it would just be nice to know they were THERE.

anywho, in regards to your other question, that’s a tough one. i mean, i have a few. basic answer is raven’s Legacy Day declaration. it’s just iconic and a real powerful moment that shapes the narrative. i love it. there’s also pretty much all of briar’s scenes in Thronecoming. (and obviously her snapping at apple moment. that shit’s too funny.)

BUT also when raven signs the real book in Way Too Wonderland and gets that dark magic power up. i’m a sucker for fight scenes and especially ones with extra narrative weight, so i always appreciated that one + the aftermath of it. and when apple declares raven as a hero. it’s great.

thanks for the ask!

Rules & Guidelines (pretty much everything you need to know)

Prompts ✦ AO3 Collection ✦ Asks/FAQ

Hey ghouls! As MH Rarepair Month creeps closer and closer, here are some rules, guidelines, and everything you need to know for this event!

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns that may not be addressed under the cut!

What is Monster High Rarepair Month?

This event is dedicated to super rare romantic pairings from all generations of Monster High. The 'spirit' (pun intended) of this event has its roots in crackshipping, any ship that has less than 10 works on AO3 is permitted. (see the fandoms tagged for g1, g2, g3, the g3 movies, and general 'toys' fandom tags to see if your pairing is eligible)

Monster High Rarepair Month will run during the entirety of September, with prompts being delegated on a week-by-week basis.

How do I participate?

Just create something about an ultra-rare pair! Whether it’s fanart, fanfic, edits, headcanons, meta, poetry, analysis, gifs (gifsets if you’re feeling fancy) - anything and everything you can think of is welcome! Following the prompts is encouraged, but if you’re really inspired by something outside of the prompt list or want to combine them in any way, that’s cool too! (PS - if you have a really niche crack pairing you've been waiting to show off, this is your time to shine!)

Please use the tag #mhrarepairmonth in your works as it will be tracked! You can also mention this tumblr, mhrarepairmonth, in your submissions if you want to be extra sure it gets reblogged!

Feel free to add your work to our AO3 collection! It's by no means required, but it's fun to have everything all in one spot.

All submissions will be reblogged to this blog by the end of each week. Late submissions are also permitted, whether it's by a week or even longer! :)

What pairings count?

As mentioned above, ships should not exceed more than 10 works in the above MH AO3 fandom tags. We’re counting counterparts from each generation as separate characters, so if there’s a ship with >10 ships but they’re marked under the Monster High (Toys) fandom tag, take a closer look and see if the pairing from whatever generation you want to create for is eligible! Some exceptions to our >10 fic limit may apply, see this post for more information.

Polyships/OT3s/OT4s+ are allowed, provided they also follow this rule. Get creative - maybe you'll even create an entirely new relationship tag in the process? :)

Since this is a ship-focused event, your work should be focused on a romantic pairing; even if the characters aren't explicitly dating, they should hold a romantic interest in one another. Incestuous pairings and selfshipping will not be included in this event.

Are crossovers allowed?

Unfortunately, crossovers from fandoms outside of Monster High won't be permitted (sorry EAH we love you 💔) Feel free to cross over the various generations of MH characters, though! As long as your pairing follows the rest of the rules, go crazy!

Other Rules

1. Follow general fandom etiquette; The principles of being kind and respectful of others’ works and don’t like, don’t read apply (for the latter, where applicable). Ship/character bashing will not be tolerated, and most importantly: tag your work properly!

2. Works that have been plagiarized or generated using generative AI will be excluded from this event.

3. NSFW works will be allowed - non-con/dub-con and adult/child relationships will not be permitted. Please be sure you follow Tumblr’s guidelines regarding explicit content. Worst case scenario, you can post your submission elsewhere and just link it here so it can be shared :)

4. Whitewashing, racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, sexism and any other forms of bigotry will not be tolerated. However, works that explore these themes (i.e, internalized homophobia) will be accepted, provided they are tagged with the appropriate warnings.

5. Have fun! Rarepair month is supposed be a fun and silly event to explore or create really rare pairings.

alright here we go, we're going to talk about raven for a bit, because there are some people saying strange, strange things about HER of all people.

(slight disclaimer: this is not an apple white hate post; she is also the loml and both her and raven are wonderful, nuanced characters)

i've seen a couple of people (before you ask, yes, it is those apple white defenders) talk about how utterly selfish raven was being. how she was completely uncooperative and unwilling towards apple, how rude she was, what a terrible friend and a terrible person she was in general she was to everyone (but especially apple gasp), and most of all, raven is completely and utterly selfish for refusing to see apple's viewpoint and for refusing to at least hear apple out.

LIKE IM SORRY?? DID WE WATCH THE SAME SHOW?? DID WE SEE THE SAME CHARACTERS??

AH YES, MY MISTAKE, RAVEN WAS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY SELFISH FOR NOT WANTING TO FOLLOW IN HER VILLANOUS MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS AND HARM THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES AND CARES ABOUT.

she's also definitely wrong and completely selfish to even consider wanting to have a happy, peaceful life for herself, instead of poisoning her best friend and ending up hated, alone and chained up like a monster.

my bad guys; i misunderstood the show, clearly it was raven who was the selfish one for not acquiescing to apple's request of poisoning her and ending up miserable for the rest of her life.

jokes aside, like, i don't even know how to explain how wrong this is. not only is it completely outlandish to make the argument that raven is wrong and selfish for wanting to NOT end up in magic jail, but it's so strange to demonize her in this particular way??

LIKE WOW WONDER WHY SHE WOULDN'T WANT THIS DESTINY.

raven's defining character trait throughout the show and the books and any other form of media she's associated with is her kindness, her gentleness, her willingness to do the right thing and how she sincerely just wants to help people, and completely loathes the fact that people see her as nothing more than evil and they see her as someone dangerous.

raven is shown to be someone who would literally rather die on the spot than hurt someone or willingly cause them pain, she has also continuously shown guilt over her mother's previous actions (particularly Wonderland); and another thing we're shown time and time again, is that although she disagrees with apple, she loves her so, so much and would do ANYTHING for her.

LET'S ALSO TALK ABOUT HOW RAVEN WAS CONSTANTLY EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATED THROUGH EAH BY LITERALLY EVERYONE??? LIKE THIS GIRL COULD NOT CATCH A BREAK, IF MADDIE WASN'T THERE SHE WOULD'VE SNAPPED SO FAST IM NOT EVEN KIDDING.

side tangent on this: woman spent her wishing well coin on asking if her friends would be fine if she didn't sign, PLEASE I LOVE HER.

like we had GRIMM of all people on her ass constantly threatening her with going 'poof' and ruining everyone's lives, and oh yes, he took the one thing she had from her mother and gave her that horrific wishing well vision, and then, she had ALLLL the royals telling her how horrible she was for not signing and dooming them all, and then we still have apple, who was constantly reminding her to sign and asking why she didn't and how she should've and whatever whatever; you get the point but STILL.

like i sincerely have trouble understanding why we're demonizing raven rn over wanting to choose her own happiness for once, over a lifetime of literal TORMENT AND SUFFERING.

and consistently throughout the show, we are also shown how apple is in the wrong; apple is a very nuanced character yes, and there's a lot of valid reasons that explain why she has the worldview that she does, and does the things that she does, but it doesn't take away the fact that apple is wrong, and throughout eah, we are shown apple realizing and then later accepting that she's wrong and raven's views and actions are valid and right.

i mean, we even get other characters who were diehard royals acknowledging raven's terrible situation and sympathizing with her; case in point, briar in thronecoming.

lastly, on the point of her not listening to apple or hearing her out, girl, like i love apple sm; but her entire point throughout the earlier seasons was 'oh raven why won't you poison me so you can go to prison and i can get my happily ever after like we're supposed to?'; like apple is also shown to be entirely unreasonable in the earlier seasons to raven being like 'haha hey, this is kind of fucked up, don't you think??' and again, apple has valid reasons for this, but it doesn't take away the fact that she was wrong and that there is really no reason for raven to be demonized over THIS of all things???

tl;dr: raven queen is a wonderful character; apple white would beat your ass if you're talking shit about her (like not in being like "oh i don't like this character" way, in this particular clown way), and demonizing raven for being 'selfish' is WILDDD.

I’m curious is there an ever after high character you think is underrated?

Hard to say, a lot of ever after high characters in the show don’t get a chance to be fleshed out, so it’s kinda hard to say that they’re underrated if they don’t get a chance to do anything.

I’m sure everyone knows I think that the book version of Duchess is underrated, though it don’t know if I’ve explained it past “she has it bad”

I think Duchess is interesting because her reasons for not being a rebel despite obviously not wanting her story make sense in the books, but not in the show because it leaves out a crucial element of her story.

Duchess is already cursed, and even if she doesn’t sign the book, that doesn’t change. Not following her destiny won’t change her situation, and becoming a rebel will make her an outcast.

Also, her idea to steal a destiny isn’t as unfounded as you might think, in Next Top Villain she is put in the general villainy class against her will, but overhears this is because the headmaster is considering making her the new Evil Queen.

Duchess figures she can use dark magic to stop her curse, so is willing to betray all her friends to avoid her fate, which backfires as she hates being alone.

Her crush on Daring is also completely recontextualized when we learn that she likes him because he was nice to her when she was bullied as a kid, but Daring doesn’t remember her, and is pursuing her best friend Lizzie, which is basically what happens in the fairy tale she’s trying so hard to avoid.

I think it’s also interesting to note how smart she is. In eah she’s actually got the second highest grades (first being apple) and part of the reason she tries so hard to be a villain is because she’s never failed a class before, and wants to keep a high reputation.

Sorry for the long rant but there’s so much to say about her.

I also think ginger is a bit underrated as well, her story in the show is just a lite version of Raven, but she’s actually really interesting in the books!

Sugar, Spice and everything nice!

A Trey and Ginger drabble for the EAH x MH x TWSTD au!

No warnings just fluff with a bit of angst when Ginger talks about her mom.

He finds her in the Heartslabuyl kitchens almost every day. Ginger seems to always be experimenting with flavours lately.

Trey admired her determination to find some of those wonderful combinations, she was extremely talented.

Her baking skills were second to none.

So he’s not surprised when Ginger knocks on his door one afternoon, a box of pastries in her hand and a few pieces of paper in the other.

“Uh hey! Sorry for the short notice but do you wanna help me with a recipe? It’s one I really wanted to try, but I needed someone from here to guide me.”

Trey smiles, stepping out of the door. He tells Ginger to lead the way, watching as her smile becomes bright at the thought of having someone to bake with.

When they get to the kitchens, the teen places the pastries she held on one of the empty counters.

“Those are for later okay, eye for an eye!”

Trey laughs at that, her enthusiasm brings a huge smile on his face.

“So what are we making?!”

Ginger hands Trey the small piece of paper, her fancy handwriting spells out a strawberry and custard tart.

The teen stares at him with wide eyes, a small smile on her face.

“These are some of my favourites actually, how’d you know?”

Her mouth forms an O shape, followed by a giggle.

“I didn’t. The recipe reminded me of the tarts my mom taught me to make, although those were much much more bitter.”

Ah, so they had reminded her of home then didn’t seem to be a good memory though. Ginger’s smile has turned into a thin line.

“Oh, we’re they made with gooseberry or something?”

It’s laced with curiosity and Ginger stops needing the dough to rub the back of her neck with the back of her palm.

“Nooot really, my mom used to bake lemon and lime tarts, kids hated them for some reason and she loved that.”

Trey thinks he understands where she’s coming from, a baker using their talent to cater to their own tastes.

He’d seen many costumers and bakers like that before

“Right, so your mom wasn’t a people pleaser then?”

Ginger shakes her head, the teen lines the pan with the crust she had made, whist Trey starts with cutting the strawberries.

“Nope! She loved scaring little kids and annoying their parents, I found it quite sad because that’s what she taught me to be.”

Another parent trying to shape their child into something identical to them. This reminds Trey of Riddles mother.

“Don’t worry though Trey! I’m gonna keep baking for everyone I love and then my recipes will make them happy!”

Their both smiling like idiots by the time the tart goes into the oven, chatting about both Ever After and Night Raven. Reminiscing on those wonderful memories they shared.

The little eclairs Ginger had brought with her had gone by the time the tart was out of the oven.

——-

When it’s done the kitchen smells divine and Ginger decides that they should share it with the rest of the dorm.

Trey agrees, but not before the two of them taste it themselves with a flurry of giggles.

So the two of them end up in the gardens and lounge sharing their food with everyone who wanted a slice.

It was a hit, and it was then pretty much all of Heartslabyul knew that Trey and Ginger were a partnership that would last for centuries.

They worked effortlessly together and in perfect harmony.

Yeah Trey and Ginger would be remembered as some of the best bakers for years to come at Night Raven.

I hope you guys like this as much as I enjoyed writing it!!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME HOW I KNOW ITS ABOUT CYCLES AND BEING RESIGNED TO YOUR FATE AND TRYING TO FIGHT AHAINSY IT BUT I KNOW SO LITTLE PWEASE TLWL US

HIII HELLO LOVE <333 SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG i was playing game. anyway :33

4 context this is about my post saying "ever after high and castlevania are the same thing" and im here to explain it

tl;dr: when faced with destiny, you have two choices: to fight it, or to accept it. both will have consequences.

long version: the reason i say this is they both have a big thing about fate and bloodlines and birthright and how different people deal with it. i'd say the biggest difference (besides literally everything about these two pieces of media) is that eah deals with different people with different destinies and how destiny itself is not fair, while cv is about a family over the course of generations and how each member of the family deals with their same fate (with exceptions, of course.)

i feel like it's really easy to see parallels with how different belmonts deal with the family legacy and the royal/rebel debate. either you accept the hand you've been dealt both because it's what it's always been done and out of fear of the unknown, or you fight against it despite what might happen to you and despite knowing no one's done this before - or so you're told. it's real interesting. and i can actually see some similarities between richter's fear of being forgotten being (part of) what leads him to do what he did and raven being told to play her part or she'll cease to exist. isn't being forgotten just a manner of ceasing to exist? also, i find it interesting that these two very similar consequences are dealt with differently - richter's fear of being forgotten is what leads him to rebel (eah joke not intended) against his legacy - his destiny, you may say - while raven's fear of disappearing is what makes her conform to her destiny (albeit temporarily.)

it's easier to focus on specific parallels like richter and raven here, but the general themes overlap a lot - like i said on the tl;dr up there: "when faced with destiny, you have two choices: to fight it, or to accept it. both will have consequences." this applies to both series in a VERY accurate way. what's very interesting to me too is the "accept it" part - it's what most belmonts do, and it's what most people in ever after have historically done, regardless of how they feel about it. we are shown time and time again the current generation of rebels are not the only ones to have existed, there have always been people who don't like the destiny they've been given, but they are not spoken of. and that's interesting when it comes to the royals, too; they win. people love to say that the only royals are those who have good destinies, but that's easy to prove wrong - lizzy and duchess, for instance. lizzy is destined to be a villain and duchess is destined for a tragic fate. they are still willing to play their part and follow their destinies, because they believe this is the right thing to do. and wouldn't you say there are belmonts (cough cough juste cough cough) who aren't necessarily fond of their fate, but are resigned to it nonetheless because the alternative is worse?

that's all i have to say for the day in terms of comparing these two but i'm always open to talk about either of these things separatedly should you (or anyone!!! hi my inbox is open :3) wanna talk about it <33
