Enemies to lovers for the fic trope?
You can tell so much about someone with their opinons on this trope /j
OMG.
A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.
literally half the ships iโve liked in past fandoms have been enemies/rivals to lovers. naegami in danganronpa. oumasai, again in danganronpa. kate and anthony in bridgerton. THE TENSION IS SOOO GOOD????? but i will say i only like the ship and fics with it if theyโre moreso Rivals than full on enemies. like banter and arguments etc instead of them like actually beating each other up or smth. the ones i mentioned, particularly the dr ones, have such opposing views and Thatโs what makes fics of them so satisfying to read imo

>> STANDARDIZING EVER AFTER HIGH SHIPPING NAMES <<
if you are in the EAH fandom, you know that our shipping names are NOT STANDARDIZED. like, no one can agree on ANYTHING, at ANY point in time. our hope is that we can create an easy catalog to reference for any ship name, at any point in time. we are going to do a series of polls, and if YOU want to ask the fandom about what they think your rarepairโs ship name should be, just submit an ask and weโll hop on it! in the meantime, weโre going to be setting up polls for both the most popular and the most obscure, and I hope this is at least of some use to someone.
follow this account OR the tag โ#standardizing eahโ to see both polls and results; we might not tag every single post with #ever after high, because we donโt want to clog up the main tag.
Hello and welcome! Iโm Raven (from @ravensraven ) and in this blog Iโll try to compile things from Ever After Highโs website, dolls and much more!
More info will be under the cut!
I donโt claim the images as mine unless I specify it, and I will add the links to all sources!

because the fandom's kind of small, there's actually less consistency around ship names than in bigger fandoms, so me and @ravensraven decided to start with raven and make a poll so people can vote on pretty much every possible ship name !! pleaseplease contribute because this will pretty much be a meaningless project if we don't get responses ajfklaf. feel free to fill in the "other" box if you think everything sounds stupid <3
Omg thank you for thinking of me that's so sweet of you!! That actually made me smile so thank you again! I'm totally down to take a stab at one of the theories (my response will be multiask). Both are very fascinating and clever, especially the Destiny Magic Theory (very well thought out @/ravensraven!!). Honestly, I think destroying the SBoL... ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฏ'๐ต affect the Narrators and their jobs too much. In fact, without the Narrators, the stories, both new and old... 1/?- Narrator Headcanon Anon
...wouldn't be told! The job of the Narrator is to tell a story, and sure, even with the SBoL destroyed, we see that the Narrators can still narrate. I think the biggest change is their hold on the stories themselves. With the characters being able to rewrite their stories in their way/shape/form, all the Narrators really have to do is, well, narrate those stories. However, the idea of the Narrators losing their jobs due to the SBoL... brings up a lot of questions. 2/?- Narrator Headcanon Anon
Like, would the characters of the changed stories become the Narrators, and would it become a first person story? Would those characters be aware that they are basically shattering the Fourth Wall by doing this? Would those characters find out about the Narrators they "replaced"? What would happen to said replaced Narrators? Honestly, it's very interesting, and I hope I can look it into it more when I have my thoughts more together! 3/3- Narrator Headcanon Anon
Thank you for thinking of me and thinking my thoughts and theories and opinions would be interesting enough to warrant sending me asks about them in the first place!!!! :D
Fascinating!
With the characters being able to rewrite their stories in their way/shape/form, all the Narrators really have to do is, well, narrate those stories.
The way you mentioned that characters can now rewrite their own stories in any shape or form made me think of Cerise thinking up Ramona in the Ramona theory; it's so intriguing that if characters can just change the world around them if they have strong enough emotions, without even being aware of it, with only the created character, the narrators, and certain Wonderlandians being aware; it opens a whole different box of reality-based questions, which is fair, I guess, since reality has been altered after all.
Like, would the characters of the changed stories become the Narrators, and would it become a first person story?
"A first-person story" is such an interesting and perfect way to word this new reality. Puts into perspective (lol, a pun) that the world of Ever After where characters are expected to follow pre-written paths with no regards to their feelings and emotions, and after signing succumb to Destiny Magic which might affect their brains and personality, like Raven turning evil, really is a third-person or an outsider's view, aka someone who doesn't think of them as human beings who have their own wants, desires etc.
Being in third-person proved they didn't have agency over themselves or their destinies. The closest to having free will in this land were the Narrators who were not bound by the Storybook. But while the narrators could control space and time, even they couldn't control characters' emotions.
Honestly, I think destroying the SBoL... ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฏ'๐ต affect the Narrators and their jobs too much. In fact, without the Narrators, the stories, both new and old wouldn't be told! The job of the Narrator is to tell a story, and sure, even with the SBoL destroyed, we see that the Narrators can still narrate. I think the biggest change is their hold on the stories themselves. With the characters being able to rewrite their stories in their way/shape/form, all the Narrators really have to do is, well, narrate those stories.
I think you're right that the Narrators haven't lost their jobs, just have to narrate differently, they now have to dig deep and narrate the person's POV instead of zooming out and narrating a story where these characters just played parts in. If anything, there are now more Narrator jobs available lol. Unless, like you said, the characters are now the narrators themselves.
Would those characters find out about the Narrators they "replaced"? What would happen to said replaced Narrators?
Well, only some Wonderlandians are even aware of the Narrators so I don't think other characters would ever find out about this race of people that used to have control over their space/time. As for what would happen to these replaced narrators, I have no idea, maybe their world doesn't revolve around narration and they just get another job lol.
Would those characters be aware that they are basically shattering the Fourth Wall by doing this?
I don't think they're breaking the fourth wall as much as breaking the third wall, since characters are now finally seeing themselves as three-dimensional beings and not just parts of a story.
Let me know if you ever want to talk about this (or anything else ofc)!
Decided to make a side blog for the stuff I donโt wanna reblog on my main eah blog lmao
Itโs me! Raven from @ravensraven ! Will I ever make an actual post here? Who knows
Okay so I sent in an ask to @faybellesbeauty abt this but I figured Iโd make a more open one, if we got another season of eah what would you want it to be.
Like what would the plot be
Who would the main characters be
Who would get more background/redemption
What would the webisodes be
How many more seasons would there be
Would there be accompanying books
If so, would it be written by Shannon hale or the other less relavent authors (Shannon hale stan here)
Who would the new characters be (if any)
Would we get backgrounders promoted to actual characters
Would we get more expansion on the narrators
Or on the grimms
Or on the class of classics
Or tsbol
What would the resolution be
Anyways thatโs just some ideas to get the brain going but literally talk abt anything Iโm so curious
Iโm planning on making a post with my hcs / hopes but I kinda want to wait so I can incorporate what you guys put
Tagging a whole bunch on mutuals bc I really want to hear ppls opinions (actually some arenโt mutuals, I kinda just thought they were until I actually bothered to check but hey Iโm going to act like youโre my mutual so just play along )
here is the post explaining both the situation and the event that @ravensraven and I (@royalrebelpropaganda) are trying to do, which is basically create one usable fandom-voted-on ship name for each potential pairing.
we will post polls for each bracket, beginning with the most popularly shipped characters and going until we hit everyone. if we miss any ships (due to there being no fic on ao3, which is typically how we are going to pick these ships), feel free to message/send in an ask to this blog asking for us to set up a poll!
