Rise of Red: The Prank Theory

(aka it was Ella but it wasn't what you think)

So, it's pretty certain that whatever the Castlecoming prank was, it was done by Ella instead of Uliana and the rest of the old VKs. Thanks to mr-walkingrainbow for explaining why in this post:

TL;DR: The Sorcerer's Cookbook was enchanted so that anyone evil who opened it would be instantly frozen, so even in the original timeline Uliana and co. couldn't have been the ones to make the prank; on top of some direct foreshadowing that Cinderella felt guilty for the prank, Red suggesting Ella would know exactly how to stab her in the back, and that Ella not being at the dance/the book being taken out of Merlin's office was thus the only real change to the past made that led to the prank not happening.

As for the theory itself:

Whatever the prank was, Cinderella still considers it just "a stupid prank" even after knowing what it did to Bridget.

Whatever the prank was, it turned Bridget "into a monster in front of everyone".

We know that Ella despised Castlecoming and royalty:

Ella: "Castlecoming is an outdated, elitist tradition." and "Bridget, will you go to Castlecoming with me? (...) Yeah, I despise everything it stands for."

BUT, we also know that the only exception to Ella's disdain (aside from what attraction she had to Charming) was Bridget:

Ella: "(...) but you know how royalty is. Well, except for you, B."

And we know that the prank had to have involved the recipe from The Sorcerer's Cookbook that transformed whoever ate the cupcakes into hideous monsters:

Uliana: "We’ll bake our own treat. And turn her into a monster!"

The obvious conclusion to be drawn was that Uliana (or, if not them, Ella) would have fed a cursed cupcake to Bridget and transformed her into a terrifying monster in the middle of the dance, making people scared of her - but Ella would have never done that to Bridget, she was the one royal she actually liked.

Everyone else, though...

So, my theory: Ella managed to find and open the Sorcerer's Cookbook because she was "the right hands", a good person. And, at an elitist dance full of spoiled royals, she decided a harmless, "stupid" prank was to curse all the cupcakes Bridget handed out to everyone, turning everyone else in monsters - and then all the blame fell on Bridget.

What if being turned "into a monster" wasn't literal like Uliana planned, but metaphorical? If everyone believed Bridget pranked them all, then they would certainly see her as one, as they would with all the other villains - and it would seem perfectly justified.

But don't the Queen of Heart's lyrics in "Love Ain't It" suggest that the prank was pulled directly on Bridget by Ella?

QoH: "I saw through her. Cinderella and I were classmates. I spent way too much time in this place, so I had to escape. The people here might smile, but they’re two-faced and too fake."

It certainly sounds like it, but then so did all the red herrings pointing towards Uliana and co. being the ones to pull the prank. It's not out of the realm of possibility that her disdain for Cinderella here isn't for pulling the prank on her, but for being the kind of person to do such an awful thing in the first place (and get her caught in the crossfire by using her and her genuine attempts to make friends). Bridget was kind to everyone, but Ella... wasn't. She was the image of a kind-hearted person, but ended up hurting people, including Bridget.

(I'll also throw in the possibility, whether the monster transformation prank was pulled on Bridget herself or on everyone else, that part of Bridget's descent into evil was deciding to use the Looking-Glass that night in hopes of seeing that everything would turn out okay - but in seeing a cemented future of herself as a feared and hated tyrant, she felt there was no point in trying to avoid that future, and dove into it wholeheartedly - pun intended).

think its only right that kre-o silverbolt helps me out with my christmas present :3

[voidwithtoomanygooglyeyes]

Had a dream where I walked into a video game store and found a small zip lock bag with a 3DS game cartridge in it.

I then became convinced that there were six more to find, and after searching the entire store with no success I asked the lady at the counter for help. She asked me what I was doing so I went on an entire rant about how I needed to find the other six, so she pulls out to weird ass looking machines. The first one I had to scan the cartridge like a credit card so the lady could see if it was in their system or not (it was not), and the second one scanned the inside of it to display what it was on a small screen and to check if it was a virus. Turns out it was not a virus and was an actual game about some sort of labyrinth.

40th anniversary!

okay, 1, 6 and 31 :D

1.) What was your first exposure to TMNT?

2012!

6.) Do you own any TMNT merchandise?

I do!! Show and tell time:

My stepdad bought me this shirt once he and my family realised I was in this TMNT fixation to stay XD

My brother got me these two Mutant Mayhem posters that I forgot about until last month. They now live on my bulletin board

This is the same brother who once tricked me into buying this pin from him

31.) What is one piece of TMNT canon that you dislike/ignore?

Um, *looks at The Next Mutation* okay, I love TNM, but there are some things in that iteration I prefer to forget exist. Chief among them is when Leo claims they aren't brothers because they're not blood-related only so the show can set Venus up as a love interest. Unoriginal but it's been on my mind after reading the follow-up letters, because Donnie's first letter is particularly loud and uncomfortably icky feeling about this point.

[window-view-orion]

I’m not really an OMG doll collector but I do have a few, and there are plenty that if I saw them in a store for a good price I would probably pick them up.

Guess who I found in store for a good price? 😅

A Late Happy Holidays

He stole Santa’s coat, may be a little too big..

[erisolkat]

maybe a lot of things would have been a lot clearer faster if we had already acknowledged the fact that it's odd that i've spent the entirety of my life extensively prepping for some nebulous disaster that would require me to jump out the window with just an easily grabbable container of essentials and the clothes on my back
