“I like this one.” Apple held up a dark-purple dress with a fitted black bodice covered in black rhinestones. The skirt was constructed of layers of black and dark-purple tulle with an overlay of delicate black lace.
“Me too.” Raven fidgeted, suddenly unsure how to act with her friend. “I can go get dressed in Maddie’s room so you don’t have to watch.”
“And ruin the little fun I get tonight? Have you flipped your crown?” cried Apple.
- The Secret Diary of Apple White, Chapter 7
I love it that sometimes Apple is so obliviously lesbian that some of her words come off as slightly risqué flirting. Apple, honey, you sound like a TikTok fuckboy.
thinking about how raven always forgave apple. thinking about how raven was so heartbroken when she found out apple was the one who released her mother from the mirror. how apple is so scared and raven knows and understands because she's scared too. how apple bites and snarls at raven and raven just lets her do it with a smile, knowing apple thinks it's her fault she's in pain. how raven thinks it's her fault she's in pain. how apple will bite every time with a false smile and raven knows this. raven loves apple and will spend her livelihood repenting for hurting her.
What I mean: Raven Queen should have been the one to wake up Apple White in Dragon Games. Although Apple’s prince being Darling was a good twist and did it’s job at shaking Daring’s faith in his story, it didn’t fit as well as it could have when considering the events of Dragon Games, and the story as a whole. Ever After High is about Raven and Apple, and their opposing ideologies conflicting with their deep love for each other. This is mirrored (haha pun) by the narrators, who are a married couple. Raven being Apple’s true love would have been an excellent bookend (haha pun take 2) to their relationship. This is furthered by Apple and Raven being the ones to defeat the evil Queen. Additionally—
If I had a nickel for every time there was a piece of media with a WLW relationship with a blonde lesbian and a dark-haired bisexual, I’d have at least 3 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened more than once.
Edit: I have been informed that Harley Quinn is in fact bisexual, sorry for the mix-up!
I feel like we rapple people don't think enough about these frames
This is one of those rare moments of indisputable fluffy rapple because the way in which Raven is positioned and how it shifts, as if they were planning to sleep in the same bed. As they have one of their few non-dispute conversations of their mothers and how they feel towards them.
