what I think of Ever After High ships - Dexpid

Wasn't like an avid shipper, but liked this ship (still do), and am pretty sure that even prefered it over Dexven. What can I say - even in childhood I was a sucker for one-sided love.

I won’t deny that I don’t have criticism with how both their characters mainly focus on their crushes (not so bad with Cupid when compared to Dexter) and at times Cupid did come across as bit of a “Nice Girl” (also those pics she has of him on her laptop? bit...creepy to me), but as much as the love-triangle did annoy me at times, I also didn’t mind it, if it makes sense? They’re teens, let them be.

I like the cute yet bittersweet decision of having the daughter of a Love God, liking the son of Prince Charming, who isn’t as popular as his older brother, who also at the same time likes a different girl. And they look nice together with their pink and dark blue colors :]

I also like how Cupid had also put aside her feelings for Dexter to help him with Raven, but by far my favorite moment between them is in True Hearts Day.

When Cupid told Dexter to focus on someone else, it was easy for me to assume that she was talking about herself (despite already having seen the special before), but instead, she tells him to focus on himself. And this scene could’ve been easily used for Cupid to make a move on him, since we’ve been shown before how much she wishes Dexter liked her back. But they didn’t and I’m very thankful for that.

It actually made me like this ship more.

While we don’t get much Dexter’s pov from their friendship (but I wish we did), outside of him going to Cupid for advice, she still is a dear friend to him and dammit, EAH writers, give me their friendship!

Sure, I really like this pairing mostly from a unrequited-love angle, but I also like them from a requited-love angle, y’know? (although, I’ve never read a Dexpid fic or imagined them together before, so don’t know what dynamic they would have)

But even so, romantic or not, I still like this ship and wish it got better…closure. Already wrote, there’s a problem with how they mostly circle around their crushes, instead of getting focus on themselves, but the writers also fumbled with how they ended the love triangle.

Cupid is shown progress with her one-sided feelings - in THD special, she suggests to Dexter to write a poem for Raven and when she sees him sitting alone, gives him a pep-talk/advise to focus on himself, and we get a webisode with her deciding to partner up with Sparrow instead of staying with Dexter due to knowing him and Raven would be a better pair up.

After this we could’ve gotten a nice send-off for this love-triangle where maybe Cupid would actually let Dexter know how she truly feels and despite him not returning those feelings, they still decide to stay friends, which would’ve been a nice message.

But instead we get that Dark Forest arc where Cupid is again sad about her unrequited feelings that being told that Raven and Dexter are on a date, ruins her mood. I get that she’s a teen and emotions are complex, feeling jealous doesn’t make you a bad person etc.

It’s just that because of this arc it like there isn't much progress made with Cupid’s one-sided feelings. Like the writers hit "replay" with it because they needed a reason for Cupid to come with Ashlynn. Also, this is the last time we get this love-triangle.

I mean, yay for that...but like I said - there is no real conclusion for it. Even if it was one-sided, Dexpid still deserved a better ending :/

Wanted to give all my rarepairs/crackships but 30 tags isn't enough

What is... a rarepair?

Rarepair refers to a rare pairing inside a fandom. This means that a pairing that someone ships does not have a lot of fanart or fanfiction about them or anything at all.

While crackships are always rarepairs, these rare pairings can make a lot of sense in canon, but they are just not that popular. But they often also refer to shipping characters that do not interact in canon at all, maybe not even know each other in the source material.

There are no exact numbers on when a pairing is considered a rarepair but some characteristics are that the tag on AO3 does not have a lot of hits and that most of the entries were written by the same person.

Shipping a rarepair can be frustrating, when you feel like you are alone in your love for a pairing, but it can also be fun to be able to shape the pairing together with two, three other shippers however you want them, because you basically own the ship by solely contributing to it.

One of my favorite parts of eah is that there is so much ship potential. Literally everywhere. You throw two names together, I'll have a list of headcanons on your desk by Monday.

Please tell me at least someone here can see my vision. I’ve been killing myself cropping this.

(Also feel free to ask me about my vision as well)

[rebellore]

I think the reason why i prefer book dexven more than show dexven is due to the fact book dexven literally just gives nothing but THEM together while Show dexven always has a sparkle of cupid crying in the corner

[froggywentaprincin]

[cometblaster2070]

there was only ONE good thing eah did when it came to that absolutely ridiculous cupid-dexter-raven love triangle/strange, nonsensical romantic side plot (idek????)

and that was the fact that they never made cupid and raven have a weird sort of rivalry over dexter.

like yeah they both liked him and they liked him a lot and there were A LOT of miscommunications and shenanigans, but never once did eah play into one of those rival tropes and im so glad.

those tropes are so prevalent in most shows like this and it's always so annoying to see your favorite characters act in the strangest ways over a crush.

also i always found it really sweet how cupid genuinely tried her best to ensure dexter and raven ended up together because she saw that they were happy together.

and during true heart's day when raven thought cupid and dexter were together, she was so nice about it; like GOD BLESS the writers didn't think to be silly and have her make a fuss about it.

anyways regardless im just really glad we didn't go down this route because cupid and raven are very wonderful, sweet characters and it would've been WAYY out of character for them to act that way.

[vivi-designs]

I have a question, how would you vision the impact Raven and dexters relationship would give out.

PART ONE

The misunderstanding in my au where raven just wants to cool down for the summer and Dex takes that as a possible breakup and ca leads him astray beacause she craves him

This is just a few silly doodles simplifying it down beacuse I’ve gotten multiple questions similar to this one

[lantanasmuttyfanfics]

Hai!! Can you do a dexven fic where Raven spot Dexter kissing Cupid on the chicks ( perharps smutty? Between dexven)

First no hate to Cupid. Not here to villainize her or throw hate at her this is just for the fic purpose

Anyway I’m a ride or die Dexven shipper and while I appreciate dex/cupid shipper Dexven is the one for meee

Hope you enjoyed and have a great dayy!!

—————————

Raven didn’t know what to expect, but it wasn’t this. Briar had organized a party for some occasion she couldn’t remember and to say it was… intense would be an understatement.

Streamers and banners lined the walls, two lines of tables filled to the brim with food and drinks, she’d even managed to get a disco ball.

“Come on Raven! We’ll be old hags by the time you get moving.” Raven listened to Apple as she pulled her further and further in the hall, leading her to Grimm knows where.

In truth she didn’t really want to be there, she had already had a full booked weekend and a party on a Monday night was not something on her bingo card.

But after all her friends urged her, saying it wouldn’t be the same without her, she’d obliged and now here she was getting dragged by Apple.

“Raven!” The two girls turned to look at Darling who was speed walking to them. They slowed down and walked in pace with a slightly panting Darling.

“Everything ok?”

“Hmm? Oh yeah Dexter asked me to tell you that he was looking for you.”

“And he couldn’t tell her himself because…?

“Oh it was in case he couldn’t find her.”

Raven felt her heart flutter a little at the mention of the one prince who made her heart swoon. Maybe it was because he was one of the only people who didn’t treat her like a monster when he first saw her or-.

“Last I know he was by the photo booth.” Raven blinked as she realized she’d been lost in thought. Heat of embarrassment made its way to her cheeks as she nodded at Darling.

“Thank you.”

She quickly walked off, a small pep in her step as she looked around. Hoping to catch a glimpse of his dark hair or blue eyes, eyes that seemed to mesmerize her.

But as she made it to the photo booth, Dexter was knower to be seen. In fact the only people near were a group of fan girls and Daring by a table.

Raven internally sighed as she made her way over. She’d figure that his brother would have seen him if he was here earlier.

“Daring?”

“-and then I unleashed my sword at the dragon-.”

“Daring.”

“-fire blasted everywhere and… oh hi Raven, what are you doing here.”

Raven gritted her teeth, she really didn’t have the patience today and Daring was testing to its limits. “Just wondering where Dexter is.”

Daring paused for a second, turning his attention to her and behind her head searching for his brother. “Sorry but I haven’t seen him.”

She quietly thanked him and walked off in further search.

—

Dexter pushed through heaps of dancing bodies as he searched for Raven. Hoping to catch a glimpse of her violet eyes or ebony hair.

Tonight was the night, he’d decided, that he would finally confess to Raven his feelings for her. It seemed the right time after spending the last few weeks together constantly.

Suddenly as he passed by the photo booth he turned his head as he thought her heard her voice. Sure enough there he found Raven talking to… to Daring.

Why did she always have to be talking to Daring? Whenever he seeked her out, surprise surprise guess who is there making her smile. Daring.

He felt agitation rise within him, felt a bitter sort of jealousy as she walked closer to his brother.

Without an other word he spun on his heel, walking straight to an open table without looking in front of him.

He heard a feminine shriek as he slammed straight into a girl. “Oh Grimm I’m so sorry- Cupid? Here let me help you up.” Cupid giggled as he offered his hand, dusting her dress off.

“It’s ok. Accident happen. Anyway why do you look so glum? Not enjoying the party?” She lead them to the table, sitting next to him on the couch.

“No… it’s just- never mind. How’s your night going Cupid.” The girl smiled, her eyes lighting up as she scooted closer her heart bursting.

“Oh it’s going alright. Although… I really want to dance.” She fluttered her lashes at Dexter hoping that the message came across loud and clear.

Sometimes boys were slow.

“Then would you care to dance?” Cupid was jumping up before he could finish his sentence, pulling him up with her and practically running to the dance floor.

Just then a slow, gentle love song from some famous singer came on. Cupid rested her cheek on Dexters shoulder, a content smile on her face.

They swayed in the music for what felt like forever for her. The atmosphere screamed romantic and the buzz inside her yelled at her to test the waters.

So Cupid lifted her head, gazing directly to a seemingly distracted Dexter as she rose to the tiptoes. She’d kiss him and see where things went from there.

Dexters eyes widened as he saw Cupid reaching up, her lips slightly puckered and her eyes fluttering closed. He didn’t want to kiss her, so in his panic he turned his head.

He didn’t want to embarrass the poor girl, clearly he was giving her mixed signals. Instead he turned his head and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

—

Raven found Dexter pretty quickly after, it was hard to miss him when he was standing in the middle of the dance floor with Cupid, swaying to some love song.

She thought her heart couldn’t construct much more, that she couldn’t feel more jealous and remorseful as she watched them.

But then his lips met her cheek, and his kissed her.

Raven let out an unconscious gasp, her hand clutching her skirt tightly as she went to run off. Yet as she did her eyes suddenly met his own.

They stared at each other for only a second before Raven tan off, her mind dizzy and swimming with endless possibilities. Did she get it all wrong?

Did she think Dexter liked but instead she was getting mixed signals? Maybe she read into it too much. Besides they weren’t even a thing, or anything close to one.

“Raven!”

She paused in her steps, shivering as the cool air hit her bare skin. She watched as Dexter ran after her, his eyes nearly frantic.

“Wait please!”

She did. Grimm curse her she did and stayed rooted on the spot as he now stood before her, his hair softly blowing in the wind as she stared at her.

“It’s not what it looks like.”

She tilted her head, why was he even concerned with telling her this when they so clearly weren’t together.

“I don’t understand…”

“The kiss with Cupid. It’s not what it looks like.”

Dexters eyes were searching her face, no doubt for any hints of what she was feeling. Instead Raven gave him a friendly smile as she stepped forward.

“There’s nothing to explain. It’s very clear Dexter.”

“I know but-.”

“You really don’t need to. I completely understand.”

“You do! Oh thank Grimm I-.”

“We are just friends after all. So it doesn’t… matter.”

Dexter was left to gaze at where Raven once stood as she gave him a little smile and walked of.

Friends… of course they were friends.

Cartoon Love Triangle + Rivalries (6)

[rexterforeverafter]

I saw an edit in yt and it kinda get me a idea which i think would be good for a speacial and i just honestly wanna share it

So what if they make an speacial where Cupid will gonna do an opposite on what she usually do (she was curse maybe?) And she will do whatever it takes to break couples up or like make them hate each other and the only way to break is for her to be shot by a love arrow with the one she love? Which will be Dexter And the one that will shoot her is Raven because she's the one who need to put a spell on the arrow (yes I know Raven will be heartbroken but just maybe) and ig they had their ending with Cupid fixing everything thag she made when she was curse BUT because Raven is the one that shot the arrow thru Cupid and Dexter heart It won't be fix so We will have another special for where like a prophecy of maybe a two lovers that will save the whole ever after land so the 3 most very popular couple did try (idk Daring Rossabella,Ashlyn,Hunter,Cupid and Dexter) but then almost all of them isn't that connected so a few tries until almost all finally have done it but the ever after has become Black and white while the magic has been fading more and more every minute Everyone was losing hope already then Cupid suddenly saw Raven How her eyes was full of sorrow just like The Evil Queen Eyes when she saw snow white her eyes is full of anger Cupid telm this to blondie,ashlyn,darling and apple which then one of them said "But the only reason the Evil Queen hates snow is because Snow is the Fairest from now on" then that's where Cupid will Realize Raven is just like her mother They don't say their problems aloud they mostly kept it inside them and show them the other way but Raven show it by avoiding her and Dexter,then Cupid Realize that the prophecy is written about a dark heart that was misunderstood that people can't see the gold that was hidden in this heart and the one that love that heart yet it become confuse Cupid knows that it was Dexter and Raven who need to do it for they trust one another not like how they trust others she felt lonely yet she know what she had to do and then maybe we will get a kissing scene of dexven idk im bored ig but ye this is just an idea

I might make this as a fanfic idk im still not quite sure im having a big writer block and it's a very long story if u ask me soo probably when i have free time i guess welp if you want you can make it an fanfic message me ig and i will probably help or give u more idea btw no hate to any characters here I'm sorry if it seems I'm insulting a character

[athena-xox]

I’ve never really liked dexter/Cupid but I think that Dexter/Raven/Cupid as a poly couple would be so cute.

Literally just because their colour scheme would be the bi flag-

[henclair]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE that canonically daring is hoppers roommate bc my fav hopper ship is him and dexter and i love the possibilities that him rooming w his crushes brother opens up are endless like!!! here are some of my favs

“the worlds most terrible heterosexual wingman to disaster gays” daring charming

daring knows about both their crushes but doesn’t do anything to matchmake because “it’s not my job to help others find their happily ever after, what am i cupid?”

that “im in love with your brother in law” interaction from arrested development but w hopper trying to admit his crush on dexter to daring and daring just NOT GETTING THE HINT when it’s laid out

hopper gushing about his crush to his roommate but avoiding any details so daring doesn’t realize hoppers crush is his little brother (u choose if daring knows)

or alternatively and just as great, dexter gushing abt his crush to daring trying to avoid details so daring doesn’t realize dexters crush is his bff and roommate

himbo daring who doesn’t realize his roommate is dating his little brother

daring (hoppers confidant) playing matchmaker with the help of raven (dexters confidant) to great success and failure

daring getting the rest of the pink squad (briar and cupid) involved in his matchmaking or wingman shenanigans

anyways i just love the possibilities that open up with a dynamic between a straight himbo and his absolute loser of a disaster gay roommate and bff who in love w his brother
