#and i love her in neverafter

[renegadeontherunn]

guys i love snow white i don’t even care she’s dark and a little crazy and wanted to hug rosamund immediately after meeting her but over the blanket bc she’s so cold and she woke herself up from the dead and punched through her own glass coffin bc no one was there to wake her up….i’m literally obsessed

[rainedropsart]

i’m into dimension 20 now

[hellishfig]

god… rewatching neverafter again

and the intro scenes are a mixed bag in terms of terror

rosamund is kind of freaky with the vines and the dead princes, but then we have gerard’s, which is very amusing. pib’s is also pretty funny. mother goose’s is dark bc his son is dead, but they still joke about the gander

then we get to ylfa. and brennan and emily show the darkest and saddest origin story i have ever seen for little red riding hood. a little girl, lost in every way possible, confused and alone and scared, begging her mother to let her in, and her mother refuses. her mother says that her daughter is dead and gone and a monster stands in her place. ylfa doesn’t want to be a monster. she wants to go home. but she is different, and her home turns on her, and that betrayal turns her on them. she huffs and she puffs and she blows the family that left her for dead away

and pinocchio. pinocchio whose mother is a shadow in a doorway. pinocchio who became a boy by being good, only to lose that gift by lying to save his father. pinocchio who loves his father enough to lie, and must now keep on lying to serve a woman he has never even looked in the eyes

there’s something very fitting about the children in this fairy tale land having the most horrifying stories. those stories about children straying from the path or needing to never tell a lie or misbehave in order to be real, they’re meant as warnings. be good, children, or you’ll never have the respect that adults get. be good, or the monsters in the shadows will come for you. be good, or you’ll die

in a season that was meant to be horror but was subverted by the players knowing the theme, i appreciate even more the darker corners of the story

strong disagree on takes that are saying that the intrepid heroes just disliked rapunzel because her design was offputting or because of her social mannerisms. 2 of the first things we learn about rapunzel are that:

1. a nat20 insight check doesn’t reveal any of her inner thoughts and feelings, just gives them the knowledge that she is an incredibly fake person who could be hiding anything. usually, a check that high means brennan gives you the whole story, meaning she was incredibly good at hiding

2. her hair is snaking throughout the entire castle, and can be used to watch them at any turn

those two things to me are the differentiator for why they were frightened of rapunzel, because she was learning everything about them while they could learn nothing about her

Walking through the woods with death

[ancrky]

absolutely adore how the princesses are simultaneously these badass revolutionary figures as well as young girls with very little social experience who regularly fuck up normal conversations

[willowcrowned]

I do think game changer and d20 are fantastic, deeply funny, extremely well crafted shows. but that said I truly believe in my heart that dropout's number one artistic contribution to society is the neverafter adventuring parties

breaking news! the 8-foot-tall, terrifying eldritch witch entity who knows all the secrets of the universe and may very well have a hand in fate itself who breathes fire to light her hearth inside her living house on chicken legs wants to keep your little footsies warm!

[feelingtheaster99]

Good on Rosamund for calling out the fairies—they were all trying to manipulate her, just in different ways, and she was having NONE of it

[reflection-s-of-stars]

I know she’s planning on killing the whole world but I want to be friends with neverafter rapunzel so bad

[glitter-stained]

Here are the the DC Princesses we have in the Neverafter AU and their powers so far!

> Talia al Ghul as Sleeping Beauty

Although currently trapped in magical slumber, Talia retains a level of awareness over all that happens to her body and the magical thorny vines wrapped around the ruins of her castle. Her control over her vines grows day by day as she uses them to sense her environment and tangle around her enemies. The vines spread all over the castle and into the surrounding forest, an unsuspected guardian that guides or harms whoever may wander in her nest.

> Mia Dearden as All-Kinds-of-Fur

Mia owns three magical dresses (sun, moon and stars). Before every fight, she will tear off little threads off of each dress and tie them around each arrow in her quiver, giving her enchanted trick arrows with various abilities. The sun arrows creates blinding bursts of white and golden flames impossible to extinguish through non-magical means that fade out on their own after one minute or after running out of matter to consume. The moon arrow induces a violent psychic attack which traps the victim in a dreamless sleep or, fail this, vivid nightmarish hallucinations. The star arrow induces a state of compliant euphoria that can drive the victim to consider the first person they see upon being hit as the most extraordinary, perfect and worthy of adoration and worship creature for up to a day.

> Rose Wilson as Cinderella

A powerhouse of a trained fighter, Rose fights with a magical glass armour that allows her to turn invisible and a dagger made from the glass shard that broke when she snapped her glass slipper. Later on, she also gains a large diamond sword, the sword of Clairvoyance which can cut through anything. She also used to have precognitive abilities granted to her by the artificial eye the Stepmother (Slade Wilson) gave her, which allowed her to glimpse into the Narrative, but she took it off because it was destroying her mind.

> Koriand'r as Rapunzel

A magical princess, Koriand'r's powers were first assumed to come from her fiery, magical hair, which was largely experimented to increase its power by Mother Gothel; however, after an earthquake damaged the tower she was trapped in and sunlight touched her, she escaped and realised she drew her pyrokinesis, empathetic healing, and newfound flight, strength, resistance and starbolts from the Sun due to having been fed the magical healing sunflower herb as a baby.

> Cassandra Cain as Princess Elisa from The Wild Swans

Having learnt to defend herself from the youngest age, Cassandra is a fierce fighter, who defeats her enemies with her martial prowess and two sharp-pointed, magical knitting needles gifted to her by the Fairy Queen. She also carries around a broken, magical lantern granted to her by the Fairy Queen, which, once repaired, allows her to trap magical fires and release them on her enemies. Sometimes nicknamed "the cemetery witch", she wanders through graveyards and battlefields in search for little fires only she can see, remnants of the lives of the revenants and the dying which she can trap in her little lanterns to grant them peace in the afterlife and cradle this fire.

emily's excitement when brennan describes the cottage to have chicken feet is so cute
