I nearly put Apple in gay/hidden disaster but then I remembered that if the students of Ever After High could figure out the Storybook of Legends is a fake, they DEF could see Apple’s lesbianism.
And that’s a wrap up for Fairytale February! Thank you all so much for following along! It was so much fun to take some of my favorite designs and redraw them in my own style! Perhaps next year I’ll continue the story!
a fine example of the extremely niche things I pay attention to is this A++++ sequence of expressions Cedar pulls when they sit her on a fucking fire-breathing beast

The Thronecoming heritage hall gifts bug me. Most of them don’t feel like a parent has gifted them. They are so uninspired for the biggest moment in their child’s life.
I’ve listed my replacements below. I’m hoping for the gifts to have a, if had-to-do-it-again-here’s-what-I’d-want vibe.
blondie lockes
OG gift: running shoes
rewritten gift: a new piece of tech that helps her with her mirror cast. A shiny new microphone or even just a cute news reporter accessory that acknowledges her unintended break from destiny (or rather extremely developed hobby/career because her story can be over in like 30 minutes) it also gives off the initial impression that blondie’s story is “just right” the way it is until.. boom! There’s a note.
That mentions that as Goldilocks has reflected on her role and how she regrets hurting the bears the ways she has* and with an extra perceptive daughter like blondie she is sure to find a worthy story (within bounds) that won’t cause baby bear to develop a complex. *insert long list of things here that blondie could comment on in her stead because the story book of legends didn’t write every worthwhile critique of the bear house and the bears despite “forgiving” her won’t let her talk to them about this* and a small comment of how she is super proud about blondie that hopefully eases some of her attention seeking behavior so she’s less of a brat later on.
cerise hood:
OG Gift: picnic basket with an electronic mirror lock.
revised gift: honestly I have no comment. This is a great gift. My only question is how recently the presents are placed in the hall seeing as how that basket spit up a whole bird leg. Maybe it has a special note of the picnic menu they have in celebration once the whole shebang is done.
o hair twins:
OG gift floating hair brushes
rewritten gift given how Rapunzel’s story is that she was locked away her whole life because her bio mom ate a magical plant while pregnant that the witch wasn’t sure of the side effects of and had to lock her away because damn sure bio parents couldn’t do anything if the witch was second guessing herself. What I think should be there are odd bits an bobs function like an Easter egg hunt of a map and post fairytale notes one what they are that Rapunzel is certain her girls can figure out because they have her plant powers (though probably diluted hence the helpful notes incase they have to solve things like their adoptive grandma ).
briar beauty
NOW FOR THE GIRL WHO INSPIRED THIS POST. Her gift makes me so angry. It is the most nothing gift of the whole bunch. You mean to tell me that a hundred year sleep doesn’t come with any regrets at all? Not one thing?
OG gift A neck pillow.
revised gift: A SCRAPBOOK. The first few pages could be filled with pictures of her family. Bonus points if they’re are people Briar wouldn’t have gotten the chance to meet but knows who they are by virtue of her mom. It hits home exactly how big her sacrifice is. Also all the storybook imagery? The intro? Imagine if there was a dark time line where we were being told everything that happen through briar who missed all of it and is trying to piece back something familiar?
either way, mental breakdown and existential crisis guaranteed.
also bonus. It’s totally merchandisable. Half the book mercy was essentially scrapbooks/concept art anyhow.
Cedar wood: revealer rays
it’s a good gift but something she wouldn’t be able to use in her story at all. They are not subtle and most everyone who knows about Cedar knows that Pinocchio didn’t mess up her eyes to the point she’d feasibly need glasses.
Revised gift: letters from the blue fairy (well wishes, maybe an helpful hint or two) Gepetto and Pinocchio (things to to try (and not repeat) once she’s no longer wooden and how to lie effectively) I can’t think of a physical possession for Cedar to have. But I feel she’d appreciate these. Maybe a special cricket/donkey whistle?
duchess swan:
no gift shown but what I have in mind is a mix of briar and blondie’s gift.
a collection of letters (written on leaves and paper or something) from both her mom and her bio dad detailing the bitter sweet love in the tragedy to reassure duchess it’s not all bad. And a special pair of dancing shoes for her last night as a human. I imagine this gift would only make duchess mad.
Madeline hatter:
no gift shown and honestly idk what the mad hatter gives his daughter it’s probably perfect. An old hat that looks very normal actually? A crazy new teapot? Who knows?
raven queen:
og gift wand wishing well coin
honestly I want to know the logic behind the wand. Is it a back up battery in case apple thwarts raven through zapping away her powers somehow?
I have multiple suggestions
Something that contains directions to the true SBOL
recipe for the poison apple
something that originally belonged to someone in the Snow White family that she is proud enough to share with her daughter (raven would probably give it back).
*blondie branches out mentions how Goldilocks promised to be a better person.
Personally, I think it makes more sense to have Blondie in metal and I’m genuinely surprised that didn’t win, what with her lock-picking abilities.
Fire makes sense to me up until Lizzie (although if we’re putting Darling in metal I feel Chase could be there too). I feel like we’re just associating red with fire, but I had voted lightning for her so I suppose it’s not that different.
You know what peeves me off?? Jillian and Rosabella would NOT have plant powers!!! In the Jack and The Beanstalk story, Jack is a poor boy and their family is desperate for money to feed themselves and upgrade their home. If Jillian had plant powers, there would be no story! No need for the magic beans! No need for the giant beanstalk! The beast in Beauty and The Beast is protecting a flower! Doesn’t want its petals to fall off! Know what they wouldn’t have to worry about if they had plant powers??
And about Courtly? I feel we’ve fallen into ‘give villain characters dark abilities’. She’s a jester! She’s bright and flashy! How does darkness make any sense? /gen
I’m also genuinely curious for peoples reasonings to why they put the characters that are in the air category there. The only one that’s obvious is Cupid. Maddie would’ve made sense in water or plant what with her teas. Dexter and Humphrey would’ve made sense in lightning or metal with their tech abilities. I’m not sure about Holly.
I’d love to hear everyone’s reasonings for what they chose!
What if, in Spring Unsprung, that topsy turvey book actually showed everyone’s somewhat true feelings/intentions.
Apple White might’ve been evil due to pressure/stress(aka ff where Raven Queen saves the day again)
Daring Charming might’ve actually been a scared boy but due to high expectations, he had to shove those fears to the bottom of his heart and make his father proud.
Cedar Wood longs to lie and finally succeeded when she heard the spell.
Humphrey Dumpty is obv a sci geek but can’t experiment or experience anyt due to his story, so he got the chance to face his fears ykykyk?
I’m not rlly sure abt this cuz Holly&Poppy and Ashlynn&Hunter aren’t rlly… suitable
It's a good thing these characters exist in the world of fairy tales cause they'd NEVER make it through a horror movie since they just read from a mysterious book out loud.
eah thingy #29 because my brain has been creatively dead for a while and I'm going to force myself to try before I go back in my study hole for graduation
This is mainly going to be what I think the eah characters sound like/who they sound like when they sing/voices I associate with them when I'm writing them (I know these won't perfectly match up with their VA's but let me have my fun)
I was bored, so was playing around with Gacha Life 2 & reading some TWST x EAH fics, then this occured to me to make something
It's been a while since I posted something about sayuriconer's AU.
Here are the EAH characters in NRC uniforms with the color of their assigned dorm in Gacha Life 2 from @sayuricorner TWST x EAH AU
I would do the dorm uniforms but, I got lazy and thought doing the school uniforms would be simpler, I'll probably make them in their dorm uniforms some day (I still have their codes in my notes).
There are more, but that will be in different parts
Anyways-
Pomefiore:
Raven Queen
Poppy O'Hair
C.A. Cupid
Cedar Wood
Rosabella Beauty
Octavinelle:
Coral Witch
(since we have no official design of what Coral looks like, I made my own design based on some of the fan art I see & add some of my own touches)
