yeah we put your girl in the fandom and they villainized her beyond comprehension. yeah sorry they took out all the nuance and made the argument completely black and white. yeah my bad. we can’t reverse it. sorry.

I've had this thought of MC doing, like, a Q&A stream, cause yknow people are gonna be curious, but all the questions are about what it's like to live with the brothers and like who their favorite is and if they're dating anyone yadayadayada, and MC is just like, kinda like "ok fine,,,,,,Mammon's my babygirl" and they pan the camera over to reveal Mammon's been laying with his head in in their lap the entire time

I do know that probably none of you would care, but I'm thinking that I'll make my pfps into OCs (they were supposed to be my sonas, but I like 'em way too much for that)

I am biased for multiple reasons, but having read the books by shannon hale, like. apple was right. raven tearing her page out had LARGER REPERCUSSIONS that later actually genuinely fucked up a lot of things in their life in book 2 related to the evil queen and such, AND as far as both apple and raven knew at that point in time, not signing actually killed you. they found a dead body. when raven tore the page, apple screamed, not because she was upset, but because she thought she was DYING. honestly yes apple does get on my nerves at some points in the show, but I genuinely am such a huge apple sympathizer.

ALSO: “she has no right to be angry.” she grew up her entire life told that she was going to live her life a certain way. the focus in ever after high is in generationality, starting with the names and going down to EVERYTHING. she was groomed her entire life into being the heir for her estate, regardless of her own personal feelings, regardless of the fact that she doesn’t love her prince, regardless of anything. and apple took comfort in it, and solace in it, because she had a near-death experience when she was eight and if she was in her story, then at least nothing bad could happen to her outside of everything written down. she made her mother read the story out loud to her every single night.

I genuinely do hurt a lot for apple. I think her story has value. I think, sometimes, an argument can be made for raven being entitled, just the same; she’s a royal, still, and her other friends are commoners, which gives her privileged that they don’t have, which is explicitly defined and explored in the books as well.

they’re BOTH wrong. they’re BOTH right. in erasing any of apple’s motivation or struggles, it actually genuinely flattens the story down into “raven was right, so this sucks. why don’t they just listen to her.” there needs to be conflict, there needs to be ideology, and I think apple works brilliantly as nuanced opposition-- and the same thing with raven.

Ok but can we all agree that Apple was extremely selfish for assuming that Raven would go along with their destiny? Raven clearly didn't want to be evil. She clearly didn't want to live her live being punished for a sin she didn't want to commit. She didn't want to hurt Apple.

Yet who's crying when Raven pledges to write her own destiny? Apple. She calls Raven selfish for not bending over backwards to allow her to live a life of privilege. She has no right to be angry. She treats everyone else like trash beneath her feet. They aren't people. They're steps in achieving her own happiness.

Apple needs to get over herself.

epic winter literally would've made so much more sense if the snow queen never got a husband & instead continued drifting absentmindedly around the kingdom. eventually realizing she had to pick an heir she grabbed a random ice pixie named crystal that she decided to make her daughter by adopting her & then doting on her excessively before completely disappearing & leaving crystal in charge. the reason jackie hates her is because it could've been any of them. why was it crystal? why her? why not jackie? crystal meanwhile has never experienced parental love before & becomes completely dependent on making her mother proud of her & gradually growing more bitter about her absence & eventually deciding to steal the four roses etc etc in order to get her attention. this is basically my epic winter rewrite idea

[jemjams02]

I'm half tempted to do a mini smut fic series, or even a little fic event where yall interact...depends on how motivated I am based on the response the idea gets.

Anyway, Idea under the cut cause it contains NSFW ideas

The basic premise would be that poly!Reader/MC (they are dating all the brothers at once, they love their boys equally so said boys have to share) is tired of the brothers bickering all the time, so they make up a little contest.

Contest Rules:

1) No being mean to your brothers. This includes but is not limited to: Stealing, Insults, Teasing (non-playful), angry yelling, physical violence, and over the top reprimand (Looking at you Luci-)

2) If even one brother breaks the rules, none of them get anything. They all lose. It's a group effort.

3) The prize is the same for all the brothers: An evening with Reader/MC, where they can do anything they want with Reader/MC. (This promise was given innocently, however NSFW ideas will come up later in the post, under the cut)

4) The contest lasts a week. At the end of the contest, the brothers will be ranked from best to worst based on behavior/how close they got to ending the contest. The ranking determines the order of which the brothers get their private evenings.

NSFW-related ideas under the cut:

Okay, this is gonna be less coherent because I haven't gotten far enough with details (which could possibly be an interactive event).

My main ideas:

Reader/MC is a bit more on the naïve side, making themselves and privacy the prize was an innocent decision. They thought their boys would want to do stuff like cuddle up and watch movies, play video games, go shopping, or other date stuff. However, the brothers have some other ideas in mind, obviously.

That being said, I also want to make the Reader/MC a virgin. It makes the brothers all the more desperate to win first place because what's more tempting to demons than deflowering a human? I also had an insanely whoreknee idea that the MC/Reader had never experienced an orgasm before, which is only revealed to the 1st place-winning brother while he's proposing sex to Reader/MC. I feel like that would only excite him more and make him a little feral, maybe even a little apeshit. I know it's very unlikely an adult has never experienced an orgasm, but like,,,,imagine,,,,,the brother getting extremely excited because nobody's ever touched or pleasured Reader/MC before, not even themselves.

I only got as far as to consider some of the placements, however I want to try to make this a little interactive if enough people like the idea, so I won't reveal that.

Anyway!!! Share your thoughts in the replies/tags!!!! Spread the word too, if you feel like it :]

well yes I do very much agree that the webseries has merit— I adore the designs, first of all, it can be funny as hell, it’s just generally an enjoyable experience — but your point in the original post is that you were sick of people talking about how the book series is so much better, and here you’re talking about how of course it’s going to be better? I do agree that people needlessly hate on the show for a product that’s generally targeted at kids and made to promote a doll line— but the books ARE better. they just are. it’s because it’s a different medium, it’s given more time to explore the characters, etc etc, I completely understand the nuance! but AS A STORY, the hour and a half that Way Too Wonderland was given isn’t compelling enough to me to even beat the aesthetic of the first five chapters of Wonderlandiful World. it just isn’t. I don’t consider that “shitting on the the webseries”; again, the webseries did what it set out to do, which was sell toys while crafting a world that people might find genuinely interesting. I just love Shannon Hale’s books a lot! I think those things can coexist.

im tired of people shitting on the eah web series and talking about how the books are sooo much better like. 90% of the webseries consists of 2 minute shorts of COURSE it wont go in depth about every single character and their motivation and all the longer episodes needed to have some dramatic plot to keep things interesting. like the webseries serves its purpose with introducing the audience to the world of eah and the lore

MIRROR, MIRROR: AN EVER AFTER HIGH ZINE ANNOUNCEMENT !!

holy SHIT did we get a lot of attention. the preliminary polls can be found here: POLL 1 ; POLL 2. each got well over 100 votes, and I'm hoping we can keep rolling with that energy to get some contributors!!!!

MIRROR, MIRROR: AN EVER AFTER HIGH ZINE

Ever After High fundamentally builds on the idea of narrative parallels through the double-sided coin of a story, the two narrators, and the clearly divided ideological forces. We are using those narrative parallels as the fundamental theme for this zine. Whether you're interested in romantic relationships (hero x villain, royal x rebel), familial ties (twins, parallels between mother and daughter), or platonic or ideological ideals (royal vs rebel conflict) -- we want a zine built on DUALITY, PARALLEL, and LEGACY.

THE APPLICATION FORM IS HERE:

(I'm sorry, you do have to log in to be able to upload files to google forms, but I am NOT collecting email addresses. if this causes any inaccessibility for applying for you, please just DM me and we can work it out.)

APPLICATIONS WILL CLOSE OCTOBER 18, 2024.

There's so many posts abt Beel being written in a very 1 dimensional way, and like, I agree, but I also think Beel is a simple man with simple desires

Smut of him always contains size kinks, breeding kinks, and him eating out/sucking mc's dick like crazy, which does get a little boring sometimes, but I feel like he's just a simple guy!

He's not thinking about complex sex positions or mega kinky things to do, if he's the one in control/taking the lead, my mans is gonna go with what he knows he likes because it feels natural

Would he be open to other stuff? Yeah, if MC wants to. But he is the type of vanilla that likes to eat, bang, and sleep

[jemjams02]

that which cannot be known

oh god. how did it come to this? to some extent, you've gone so far past your own idea of "human" that it must be kind of fun, right? maybe. i'm not sure. as an artefact of cosmic horror, you're wild and wacky and colourful and people are probably drawn to that, but you will never let them know you. the mystery intrigues for a while, but it'll wear everyone down. it'll wear you down, too. who are you? do you remember? are you so far gone that you can't go back? and maybe that's the most tragic thing of all- becoming so distorted in your identity, and for so long, that no matter how hard you want to return you can't ever seem to figure it out. but you've learned a vast amount up in the stars, and people will work hard to get to know you. it doesn't matter who you used to be. sometimes, you should just start from scratch: give yourself a name, a birthday. let someone celebrate these things with you.

hello all, i made a silly quiz to procrastinate on uni work! take it if you want, and let me know what you get in the tags/replies !!

imagine being in love with your best friend who is so committed to her destiny she will lock herself into a marriage with a boy she doesn’t like at all. and she will condemn you, too, to a century of slumber. and she will mourn you the whole goddamn time but it won’t stop her from doing it. and SHE is the one who is labeled chappell roan coded. briar beauty is good luck babe coded and I won’t hear a word to the contrary

[royalrebelpropaganda]

it’s about the nuances of classism in intersection with nepotism. is anyone there. apple and raven are in the same socioeconomic class. duchess hates raven bc “(she) seem(ed) to have everything, and all she did was complain.” raven’s story is not tragic she just doesn’t want to fill it. her mother lived in a huge castle full of servants with a loyal husband and a daughter — raven doesn’t have an unhappily ever after. she just doesn’t want to get that profit off of the backs of other people. she was given the largest dorm room in the school and she is invited to the royal parties in the royal common room and she is given the luxury of rebelling because as EQ put it - “what are you going to do, find another evil queen? I don’t think so.” the sisters that rebelled were allowed to slip out of existence quietly because of their unimportance but raven IS important and that’s why the common villains despise her . it’s so dark in here can anyone hear me

[jemjams02]

I'll get you for this, viiwid

Pov you have that Ankha animation song stuck in your head….

Since we WELL surpassed 50 votes — a second preliminary interest check

I would love to get anywhere starting from 20 contributors and ideally up to at least 30—but the more the merrier! again, PLEASE reblog and share, as gauging how many people would actually like to be involved in this is a good measure of how likely it is that this will pan out

EDIT: HERE IS THE LINK TO THE APPLICATION FORM!

[royalrebelpropaganda]

guys. she did not “almost die to an apple and then named her child apple.” the apple was never going to kill her. she views it, symbolically, as when her destiny really started, because it was when she met the prince and got her happily ever after. it is like ashlynn being named slipper ella. it is like briar being named spindle. stupid, sure, but it’s about how apple was her entire life told by every person that her destiny was going to go exactly how she thought it would, down to her name. THAT is the point. it is nothing at all like being named gun after being shot. stop it.
