#ashlynn obviously Cinderella

My fav Farrah ships when her love interests all have some to do with shoes

[writergracethepanda]

Genuinely one of my favorite details about Ever After High is that the characters who sign the book do still end up following their destiny, just in a completely different way than the story.

This biggest example of this is obviously Apple, and Daring as well.

I’m sure there are others as well, but I’m due for a rewatch.

With this in mind, the episode where Ashlynn is trying to set up her shoe store by noon is 100% the Cinderella story. Hunter is her Prince Charming. Talk to the wall.

[fun-incorrect-quotes]

Here’s some background:

So in the show, it doesn’t really make much sense how the main gang are the DIRECT descendants of all the fairytale characters, because, y’know, how did they advance in technology THAT FAST? So, my idea is, they are all descendants of the original characters, just, many many years down the line. However, their parents do all share the same names as their fairytale counterparts, for the sake of making sense and not getting jumbled up. So Apple Whites mothers name IS Snow White, but she is not the ORIGINAL Snow White, etc. etc.

Because she was raised by her overbearing mother, Apple is a sort of villain. Think of her as Regina George, but all the “royals” love her because she puts on a show of being kind, not because they fear her. Her wrath is focused on the rebels, trying to keep them in line to follow their destiny. Her clique consists of Briar Beauty (descendant of Sleeping Beauty), Ashlyn Ella (descendant of Cinderella), and Blondilocks (descendant of Goldilocks). Not all of them are villain esque, just Apple and Blondie.

Blondie is sort of like Gretchen from mean girls (“that’s why her hair is so big, it’s full of secrets”). In the show, she likes to report on her mirror cast, I will bring that into the rewrite (sort of), in that she has an anonymous blog, where she spills any secret she can get a hold of.

Briar is similar to how she is in the show. She loves to party, and she’s not sure about following her destiny. The only difference is, she’s a bit more ditzy. But again, she is good.

Ashlynn is also similar to how she is in the show. Kind, compassionate. She is also very intelligent. She is adamant that Briar keep her reservations about following her destiny between them, as she fears Apple will torment her for not wanting to follow her “destiny.” Ashlynn is still in a relationship with Hunter Huntsman (descendant of the huntsman from Snow White) but their relationship is kept even more under wraps, for fear of being ostracized from the royals because of Apple. The only reason she is really friends with Apple is to protect Briar, as they are best friends.

Milton Grimm, the headmaster of EAH, is more ruthless in this version. He and Giles are polar opposites. Milton is THE villain. Pressuring all the students to follow their destinies and striking fear into them if they don’t follow it. He is manipulative and wants Apples family to remain to be at the top of the social hierarchy, as Snow White (Apples mother), still owns many businesses and is very wealthy. She has bribed Milton for many favors in the past. I want to add many other ways to make him an evil tyrant but I can’t think of anything else, ideas would be appreciated!

Giles Grimm, Milton’s brother, is, again, Milton’s polar opposite. Similar to the show, he was trapped under the school by Milton and put under a curse to only speak Riddlish, as to not expose his secrets. His curse will not be broken as easily as it was in the show by the girls gathering pages of a counterspell, but much later it is eventually broken by Maddie and Raven.

Raven is GOOD. After her mother is locked in the mirror prison, she is raised by Cinderella (Ashlynn’s mother, not the original). Cinderella taught her to have courage and be kind (like the quote from the live action Disney film). No one knows Raven was raised by Cinderella, besides Ashlynn, of course, and Maddie since they are best friends. Obviously, Ravens friend group is made up of rebels, as all the royals are turned against her by Apple. Her best friend is obviously Madeline “Maddie” Hatter (descendant of the Mad Hatter), her other friends are Cerise Hood (Daughter of Red Riding hood and (secretly) the Big Bad Wolf), and Cedar Wood (descendant of Pinocchio)

Maddie is basically the same as she is in the show. I love her character so much. There’s nothing to change.

Daring Charming is similar to how he is in the show, except more extreme. Very self-obsessed and wants to keep the order (like Apple). Obviously they are together because they want to follow their destinies. (Sorry to the shippers of Apple and Darling, unfortunately at this point in the rewrite I have no idea how I will incorporate this as Apple is supposed to be obsessed with keeping her and everyone else’s destiny and I want to keep Darling good!)

Dexter Charming is still awkward as ever. He does still love Raven. I want his to eventually be in a relationship with her (in secret of course because of his brother and Apple) I’m not sure how else to develop his character, but I did want to include this

These are the character outlines I have *so far* I might write some scenes that happen throughout if anyone has any requests let me know! 🫶🏻

[thestorybookoflegendsarchive]

i'm working on rewrite nonsense and as far as i can tell the Cinderella story is the only story that successfully signed as Ashlynn signed (she makes reference to it in Thronecoming) and Apple did, but then Raven obviously doesn't. but i can't seem to figure out if anyone else would have before Ashlynn? anyone have any ideas?

[fedoraphe]

What’s this EAH au about?

!!!!!! Oh! Ooh! Ooh! Anon, anon!

Um, sorry it's a bit late, but! Hm... well, I'm still not so sure how the plot would go, but what I do know is that some elements would be the same with the original story. Since, y'know, it's an alternate universe. Some universes are similar, yet distinct, and I guess that's what I'm going to try and achieve?

About the AU, I guess it's just fairytale characters figuring out who they are, and where they belong to. The problem I find is that the show is cancelled, so I might make up some things that are completely different.

But other than that though, what I mostly got done are the roles! So, it'll go like this (in my head):

Patton - Apple White

I have to admit, was kinda unsure, but Apple stands for what is right (or what she thinks is right), sweet, all-around, and is loved by nearly everyone. She pushes Raven (daughter of the Evil Queen) to sign the Storybook of Legends, because if she doesn't then they will all poof. Of course, she doesn't want that. It's kinda like a moral coded thing, I guess?

Virgil - Raven Queen

Okay I have to admit too, no one else could perfectly fit this role than Virgil will. It was almost going to be Logan, and maybe he would be great in the role! But I just did a last second change, so... sorry ;w;". Raven isn't evil and mean as her peers make her out to be (that fits Virge), and she's loyal, considerate, and is sarcastic at times. She also likes music, often seen with her headphones (according to the wiki), and she plays guitar, and piano, and also sings when no one else is around.

Roman - Prince Charming

Obviously. There is alot of character development in the series with Charming's character - At the start of the series he's kinda self-absorbed? He's also a narcassist and an egoist. But as time progresses he starts to grow, and he started caring more and grown to be empathetic about other people and started caring less about how he looks. I'm not sure since I haven't watched the recent episodes, but did he become selfless? Oh and he's also a Prince. That just about made me snap and type down Roman. He's also pretty sensetive, and seeing something beautiful is proved to calm him down. (Such as his reflection.)

Remus - Madeline Hatter

Before Remus was introduced it was supposed to be Patton for the role, but after his reveal and seeing his gibberish and Madeline's riddlish? Yeah. Pretty much the main reason. And, to quote a direct quote from the wiki, "She is psychic and has the ability to hear the narrators, as well as see into the future, although this is often dismissed as insanity." Which is fair. She's also bright, energetic, and I think the only difference is that she's extremely kind. She also has a tea buddy- or a pet rat. Which is self-explanatory. And Wonderland is a pretty wacky place to live in.

Deciet - Kitty Cheshire (Unsure)

Yeah, not so sure about his role. But the idea here is that - If he's Kitty, then that means he's just a little shit who likes to wreak havoc. (See example, a quote from the series: "Chaos keeps people guessing, and that makes this kitty purr...") Would've been Remus now that I think about it, but she's sly, agile like a normal kitty would be, and is pretty cunning and mischevious. Something I think would fit Deciet. But in truth she is kindhearted, and cares for her friends and doesn't want to be fully antagonistic, despite her doings. Also she's cute man, and has animal-like feautures and even adopts some of their behaviours. (For her it's cat-like. For Deciet, in canon, his appearance is snake-like. He also hisses.)

Logan - Dexter Charming/Darling Charming (Unsure)

I don't know other than sweet Analogical. For Dexter - Dexter is... a nerd. But is pretty open about his emotions. He's kinda like early-Logan. Darling is adventorous, doesn't really like her role as a damsel in distress, and seeks a new path like becoming the White Knight! How that would relate with Logan is more like my fanon thinking. But I don't know - It might change, he might be Cerise Hood if I wanted. Maybe even Rosabella Beauty. But for Logan overall, I'm still not so sure about.

Aaand a tiny little bonus:

Remy - Briar Beauty

She loves to party. But, the reason for that is because she gets to sleep for a thousand years, and she wants to make the most of it before her eyes are done closed. I got this from that scene... not sure what episode, but Apple and Briar are arguing and Apple's questioning Briar's reasoning. She's also pretty sassy, kind, and loving. That's all I have for now. Oh and also, she can just fall down and sleep at random periods of time. (And sleeping is lowkey Remy's job, lmao)

Emile - Ashlynn Ella

She's soft. She loves shoes (obviously. She's Cinderella's daughter), nature, and her friends! She's also hardworking, which she inherited from her mother, and I guess that could be connected with Emile? She also has this job at The Glass Slipper, to indulge in her obsession and utilize her hardworking attitude. And for the obsession part, we all know Emile absolutely loves cartoons, right? Yeah... that's kinda most of my reasoning. She's also best friends with Apple, and that basically means Emile and Patton are BFFs in this AU which I think, is hex-cellent.

That's all what I have right now basically - I might twist and tweak some details to make it fit for both the original characters and the sides (+ Remy and Emile)! So I'll probably end that here I think. I'm already smitten with this AU, as you can probably tell lol
