Dappling my loves 🫶🏼🫶🏼 I loved eah as a kid. It was my comfort show and then I started looking into stuff on the internet a couple years ago when I like learned what gay people were and starting shipping dappling. Idk how I thought that it was a platonic cpr kiss. Little me just knew nothing about gay people and it wasn’t even a thought. Anyways know I’m back in the fandom (and have found out I’m queer lol) and I love them sm
DIZZIE. YES YES YES YES. THEY ARE EVERYTHING. LITERALLY MY WHOLE LIFE. MY FREAKIN ROMAN EMPIRE. I hate how they got rid of this ship like it was nothing. Because they were everything in the books. I love Rosabella but her and Daring just weren’t it. Being back Dizzie 2024!!
Maddie/Kitty isn’t really something I thought of before but it makes sense.
Lizzie and Alistair?? I’d love for you to elaborate on that because I’ve never heard of them
Ash and Hunter are always adorable
Blondie and Cupid!! I think they’re so cute and I hate how much slander Blondie gets
And Raven and Dex I love sm
What are your top eah ships?
OMG! This question got me thinking honestly since there’s honestly so many-
Top 6 -in NO particular order-
Apple / Darling
Lizzie / Daring
Maddie / Kitty
Lizzie / Alistair (don’t ask me where this came from, just stuck from when I was a kid LMAO)
Ashlynn / Hunter
Blondie / Cupid - or Raven / Dexter
Probably some more I like, but these are like my top 6ish!
#idk why I felt the need to reply but here it is#I actually just wanted an excuse to talk about Dizzie lol#I’m not even going to lie#dizzie is superior#me when dizzie dizzies#book dizzie#i love dizzie sm#dizzie dizzie dizzie#dizzie#lizzie hearts#daring charming#apple white#darling charming#me thinking they were straight#💀#blondie lockes#c.a cupid#heartlockes#huntlynn#eah ships#eah#ever after high#dexven#ashlynn ella#hunter huntsman#raven queen#dexter charming#alistair wonderland#alistair liddle#kitty cheshire

People Who Faked Their Own Deaths
To fake a death means that an individual provides evidence to suggest that he or she is dead, in order to mislead others.
This can be done for a variety of reasons, and here are three of the silliest and strangest reasons that someone has faked their own death.
You hear about it on the news, you read about it in popular culture – people who fake their own deaths… they could do it for a variety of reasons; perhaps they’re in dire financial difficulty and their death will make the perfect solution? Perhaps they’re on the run from the mob… or perhaps you’re not ‘all there’ in the head and fake your death for the strangest of reasons… here are some very odd reasons that people have faked their own deaths, and gone to a lot of trouble to achieve their goal.
Name: Alistair Liddle Profession: Solictor Date: 1997 Reason: Charged with malpractice; “loveless marriage”
Method: Alistair Liddle was a successful solicitor in Scotland. He called his wife one afternoon, to tell her that he had arrived safely at a meeting, and then vanished from sight, after withdrawing funds from the bank. He was presumed dead under mysterious circumstances. There were all kinds of rumors surrounding his disappearance, but none of them were very strong or held very much weight. Alistair had simply disappeared.
One year later, in Cornwall, England, somebody was murdered. The police questioned everyone who may have had an interest in the case, which included poor Alistair. During the questioning, he was obviously required to provide is real name – and when police ran a check on it, they saw that he had an unpaid traffic fine, and the rest was history.
It seems Alistair had called his wife that fateful day, and then thrown his phone in the closest bin and moved to Cornwall to start a brand new life as a flower picker.
Why couldn’t he just resign from his job, leave his wife and travel to Cornwall to pick flowers?
What did come out was that the image the town had of Alistair was wrong. Before he fled, he was in fact a grossly overweight solicitor, who lived in a loveless marriage, with a job that made him miserable. Years later, after all had came out, he had lost a remarkable amount of weight, lived with the love of his life, Paula, and their little baby girl.
Alistair was charged with embezzlement and jailed for 12 months for stealing £17,500 of his clients’ money. He has said of the incident: “I do feel bad for the people I hurt and betrayed but I had no choice.”
Name: Bernie Wint Profession: Narcotics dealer Date: 1989 Reason: Thought the police were catching up with him
Method: 29 year old Bennie, his fiancé and their four year old daughter traveled to Daytona Beach in September 1989 to get married. Unfortunately for all concerned, Bennie was believed to have been eaten by a shark, or to have drowned, when he went out for a swim. His fiancé and daughter were distraught over his death, and life eventually moved on.
Fast-forward 20 years. Bennie was not dead at all. Back in 1989, Bennie was involved in a narcotics ring. He was becoming increasingly more paranoid that the police were catching up to him, and he saw that there were two things he could have done…
1. Let the police catch up, serve time in prison then be released to spend the rest of his life with his wife and daughter; or 2. Fake his own death.
He chose to fake his own death.
One day, 20 years later, Bennie was driving in North Carolina, when he was pulled over because the light on his license plate was malfunctioning. He gave the officer his fake name, which of course didn’t add up, and the whole, sordid story eventually unfolded.
Bennie had faked his death, moved away, met another woman and had another child. He had well and truly moved on – and the worst thing was, he was not even on the Police’s radar. They had never heard of Bennie Wint. So everything he did, he did in vain. And as it is illegal to fake your own death, he now did have a criminal record.
Name: Amir Vehbovic Date: 2007 Reason: Wanted to see how popular he was
Method: Amir Vehbovic was 45 when he died. He was a native of Bosnia, and passed away in March 2007 of mysterious causes. An elaborate and ornate funeral was arranged for Amir, a death certificate was issued, and a coffin delivered by the undertaker to the place the funeral was to happen. Of course you know by now that Amir was not really dead! He was watching from the sidelines, to see what would happen. It turns out Amir did not really trust his friends. None of them. This was his reason for planning his funeral, and he planned it right down to bribing the undertaker.
So surely he had friends who came along to his funeral right? Nope! The only person in attendance at his funeral was his mother (and him, hiding in the bushes).
Amir was angry at all his friends and wrote a letter to about 50 of them, saying “I paid a lot of money to fake a death certificate and bribe undertakers to deliver empty coffins. I expected a lot of you “so called” friends would turn up. I guess I now know whom to trust”.

Historic Scottish Golf Clubs Celebrate Their Landmark Links
A collection of leading Scottish golf clubs has announced a series of special events and historic milestones that will coincide with Scotland’s Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology 2017. Links with History, which features some of Scotland’s finestgolf courses, will mark a run of anniversaries during 2017 with a sequence of tributes and the relaunch of its recently revamped website.
Sharing a golfing legacy stretching back over 700 years, the group was formed around common historical links and the premise of celebrating golf’s golden era. More importantly, it showcases links, heathland and parkland courses all of which are located in Fife, close to St Andrews and are designed by some of the legends of the game, such as Old Tom Morris and James Braid,
In 2017, Links with History will celebrate its collective past through a number of milestones, none more notable than the double centenary celebrations planned for one of the group’s cornerstone members; Scotscraig Golf Club. Formed in 1817, Scotscraig Golf Club is the world’s 13th oldest golf club.
“This is going to be a massive year for Scotscraig,” noted Barrie Liddle, Scotscraig Golf Club’s managing secretary. “We have a full year of bicentennial festivities planned ranging from special tournaments and open days to Grand Matches and fabulous opportunities to play the course.”
He continued: “We have been preparing for this for quite some time with formal and informal events to suit members and welcome the public. The opportunity to tie our events into Scotland’s Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology is a fantastic excuse to celebrate Scotland’s communal past.”
Further down the coast, the world’s seventh oldest golf club, Crail Golfing Society, will mark the 175th anniversary since its then captain John William Maillardet presented the club with a silver medal which is still played for today. The club will also be marking over 100 years since its Balcomie course was extended to 18 holes by Old Tom Morris.
However, or perhaps of even greater significance is the appointment of the club’s latest captain. “Crail’s history stretches back over 230 years,” explained Pam Smith, the Society’s first ever female Captain. “The club is one of theoldest in the world and has played a key role in the development of the game. Our history is spread over hundreds of years, but 2017 represents a marking post for a number of key moments.”
She continued: “Like many clubs involved in Links With History, Crail Golfing Society is keen to share and celebrate its heritage. The group provides a link to the beginnings of golf, and sharing this through the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Scotland’s reputation for world-class golf and history.”
Scotland’s Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology is designed to shine a light on Scotland’s greatest assets, icons and hidden gems. As Links With History is a culmination of remarkable histories and outstanding golf courses, it seems fitting that its year of celebration should form a key part of Scotland’s current themed year.
Malcolm Roughhead, Chief Executive of VisitScotland said: “2017 is the year to delve into the past and discover Scotland’s fascinating stories, heritage heroes and unique experiences as part of the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology celebrations.”
He continued: “With a legacy that spans six centuries, there is no finer place to play a round of golf than in the country where it was invented. The activity from Links With History will be a fantastic addition to what is already set to be a packed programme of events for both locals and visitors alike.”
The year ahead will also be one to celebrate for Ladybank Golf Club which marks 55 years since its course was expanded to its current 18-hole championship course status. Set amongst the heather, pine and silver birch trees, the original six-hole routing was laid out by Old Tom Morris in 1879 and would go on to host final qualifying for The Open Championship in St Andrews on five occasions.
The 138-year-old club will also mark 45 years since Dale Reid - one of the most successful players ever on the Ladies European Tour - became a full member, and it will be the first full season for the club’s new secretary Gordon Simpson. “Ladybank has a proud and distinguished heritage,” he said, “but it is also a forward-thinking club. This year will provide opportunities to look back at some of the milestones in the club’s history and to plan for its future.”
This approach is echoed by the fourth club within the Links With History stable; Lundin Golf Club which was founded in 1868. Despite the club marking 110 years since proposals were first drafted to expand its course to 18 holes, the club will be spending much of 2017 planning for 2018. “Preparations for the club’s 150th anniversary are already at an advanced stage,” explained Alistair McDonald secretary at Lundin Golf Club. “A club with this kind of history means we often have occasions to mark, and 2017 is no exception. This celebratory theme will definitely set the tone for 2018.”
Links with History is a culmination of great golf and glorious histories. The clubs involved
include former Open Championship Final Qualifying venues as well as trailblazers from golf’s golden era. The group has recently relaunched its website (www.linkswithhistory.com) with updated photography and a rejuvenated look.

Imo all the wonderlandians are somewhere on the queer, trans, poly, neurodivergent and crazy spectrum.

So wait, what’s the range on how long EQ has been in prison for wonderland. 1 year? 5? 7? In the show the characters that escape seem the same age as we currently see them, but I vaguely remember in the books being implied for longer than that.
If you don’t have an answer that’s ok, your seemingly episodic memory of the franchise amazes me anyhow.
I mostly just reread the books all the time because I have them illegally downloaded on my phone and I’m planning on taking an English major so I just have a good memory / analyze text like crazy. Also like the literacy of teenage girls who have unhealthy obsessions? Is surprisingly good.
Anyways this is always something that confuses me!!!
BECAUSE THEY NEVER SAY HOW MANY YEARS
LIKE MAYBE I NEED TO REREAD BUT MOSTLY THEY TALK A LOT ABT PRECURSE/MIRROR PRISON IN THR SHANNON HALE SERIES AND THE DIARIES AND A LOT ABOUT DURING IMPRISONMENT IN THE SHANNON HALE SERIES / TV SERIES BUT WE NEVER GET A TIMELIME!!!
Anyways the best I can canonically get you is that Lizzie mentions being 3 and the curse not being there and we know that the og 3 wonderlandians had been in ever after since at least freshman year
So basically that’s like an 11 year timespan
I mean we can assume it takes place a bit later bc bunny thought Alistair would ask her out before the curse which implies she was older, but then also her dad probably made Bunny with a human so if things like beastiality work different in wonderland maybe typical dating ranges r different too
Ok now I actually want to analyze it more , I’ll probably reread the first 3 books on my plane ride tmr
#me desperately trying to analyze this unfinished kids show#that has like 4 different timelines#(the tv series#the diaries#the Shannon hale books#the random ass tweets from the creators#the evil queen#evil queen#mira shards#raven queen#EQ#wonderland curse#eah evil queen#ever after high#eah#wonderlandians#lizzie hearts#bunny blanc#alistair liddle#alistair wonderland#kitty cheshire#maddie hatter#madeline hatter#shannon hale

Amir was angry at all his friends and wrote a letter to about 50 of them, saying “I paid a lot of money to fake a death certificate and bribe undertakers to deliver empty coffins. I expected a lot of you “so called” friends would turn up. I guess I now know whom to trust”.
