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!
Source: honestly one of my favorite ships. It has everything one could want. It has destined rivals. It has a height difference (of several several feet but let's be honest, she'd love the climb to just give him a kiss on the cheek.). It has opposites attract and TBH it's just adorable. OH ALSO ITS CANNON JILLIAN HAS A CRUSH ON HIM!!!
my rewrite of eah is being done in the least productive way possible because im taking detailed notes on the entire storyline of the franchise so i can probably figure out how to rearrange it to my liking and what i think is Bad and Good
also ive been using @athena-xox 's timeline and its a LIFESAVER its actually miraculous and im so glad it exists
So recently I’ve been thinking about the last episode of ever after high. Specifically the scene where Professor Badwolf warns his daughters about being too obvious about their heritage/relationship, and then follows up with
“Until graduation our family must remain secret.”
This makes no sense to me.
What is he still worried about?
At this point in the series the Story Book of Legends is revealed to be a macguffin that is more symbolic than anything as if his family exsisting for roughly two decades wasn’t enough proof (I’m including his relationship with Red in this).
What, pray tell, changes for Ramona and Cerise between that argument and graduation? I’m sure the radical youth of ever after royalty will probably write a few new laws in place to be more just (or the commoners demand it) but ultimately it’s the same rule book pre/post graduation day.
Cerise has been at school the whole time and has befriended a lot of people (list below) despite her supposedly withdrawn persona. (Which I imagine is more a product of familial conditioning than what she would be like if she was allowed to breath) including literal royalty which should have an impact on how safe her family is if they were to every travel outside of the dark forest.
In no particular order Cerise has befriended🫂/cordial with 😊/knows her family secret 🐺 with the following:
Raven queen 👑🫂🐺
Cedar wood🫂
Madeline hatter 🫂🐺 (and her dad)
Lizzie hearts 👑😊 (spring unsprung)
Hunter huntsman 😊
The charming trio 👑😊🫂 (Darling and Daring both have a respect for Cerise and their own reasons to sympathize with her cause. Dexter would be fine regardless of how cannon the cerise and the beast book is)
Briar beauty 👑😊 (diaries)
Rosabella beauty 👑🫂 (doll box)
Ginger breadhouse 🫂 (doll box)
Jillian beanstalk 🫂 (Doll box)
Tiny 😊 (also the fee fi go fum deal has me believing that he knows Cerise’s secret but doesn’t say anything)
Kitty Cheshire 😊🐺 (I remember photos from epic winter which make them out to be friends, but like ehhh)
dishonorable mention: Blondie lockes 😊 (diaries and epic winter).
Idk how widely spread out everyone is due to the show not elaborating on what the kingdom borders are (if mentioned in the books I have since forgotten) but that shouldn’t matter much. And while Badwolf and Cerise might not get the chance to catch up all that much I’m pretty sure he’d be aware of at least Raven, Cedar Rosabella, and Ginger. Raven has a lot of power behind her and would be willing to go to bat for Cerise if for whatever reason some other royal Royalty has control over hood hollow and wanted to be petty and cruel about the hood/Badwolf union.
Why would they really need to care that much about all the other kingdoms knowing? Are they known to be this unhinged?
This line also implies to me that the events of Unfairest of them (book) all haven’t happened in the show which is fine I don’t remember that many events from the series I am aware of discrepancies between cannon and IMO show wins out. But if they had they begrudgingly accept Cerise and Ramona.
The last obstacle I can think of is Milton. But that man fell into obsolescence that Spirng Unsprung if not Thronecoming he doesn’t appear to make anymore threats about destiny though I understand if his presence still holds weight.
I also refuse to believe that the events of way too wonderland SBOL being split up weren’t broadcast absolutely everywhere.
The only reason I can think of is selfish preparation on part of both red and badwolf. Like they can’t adjust their plans or badwolf is planning to quit his job and they all plan to move somewhere else. (In the event show cannon wouldn’t have lined up with book cannon regarding hood hollow acceptance) Or maybe it’s connected to why Ramona got sent to the reform school?
if there are any details I missed or someone has an answer I’d be glad to hear it.
Edit: 3/19
Reread Unfairest of Them All specifically the section(s) on Hood Hollow and I was partially right. The family is kinda just waiting for Badwolf to feel confident enough to show off his family.
"I could loose my job for going off script, but even worse your mother and I could be banished along with you."-Badwolf (Chapter 8)
EXCUSE ME? His fears are valid even after the basket run trial but the guilt trip? Wouldn't it be better if all three of you went instead of just Cerise? And Cerise is completely fine with it. Red says nothing does she agree with him? She was crying her eyes out at the idea of her daughter dying by mob a few sentences ago.
hey mattel and guru studios! still waiting on the sequel webisode to the one where tiny discovers that shrinking jewel that the gang used to be as small as nina at the end! 😅😅😅 just waiting and waiting, haha… ha……
What is one random eah ship that you've never thought of before? Like a ships that's not popular, ex: ramona x nina (idk if people ship them or not but that's what came to mind for me)
Hiiiiiii tysssm for the ask
Well, there could’ve been a Nina Thumbell X Tiny dynamic cuz obviously
I think I’ll bring the focus on Alistair X Chase Redford, which I think some ppl ship?🤔
At first I didn’t understand why but now their dynamic makes more sense as it’s literally Rule Breaker X Sticker For Rules, which is chaotically cute.
Tysssm for the ask, BTW my ship ranking w/ my explanation coming soon❤️
sometimes when i get a prompt ask i get so smiley like wow you really think of me as a writer huh? :) you see this scenario and want it in my words? :) you trust me like that? :) you know i exist? :) you think i can do this and make you happy with it? :) idk idk there’s something about getting random prompt asks that just :D
