EAH rewrite intro
sooo, I've been thinking about how the world of ever after is really messed up so instead of, I dunno, sitting here and enjoying my tea and a show that's about 12 year old, I'm trying to rewrite parts of it (at least parts of the worldbuilding)
PART 1
Gather round and let us tell you a tale of the world of Ever After and our part in the paths of our beloved characters.
Long before EAH was established, two great magic wielders called the brother Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, saw a glimpse into our world aka the readers world (see book 3 Shannon hale ch. 24) the brothers thought we were gods so tried to make a connection to us. through trial and error they made the storybook of legends but it wasn't what they wanted. it told them past present and future and every reality in between. discouraged they gave up and made a school to help kids control their magic abilities. but it wouldn't stay that way.
PART 2
while the school was being built Jacob got married and had kids. the older brother, Giles, was more quiet and reserved compared to his younger brother Milton. they grew up going to the school and apprenticing under their uncle and dad. they knew about the Book but were told that they couldn't see it till they were older, but Milton being the curious and energetic 16yo he was sneaked a peak aaaand instantly regretted it. it showed him very horrible reality with wars death and famine. there were good ones but the bad ones had a hold on him and he was determined to find a way to stop it.
"my great plan to stop bad things
get all the trust from dad and uncle so the give the school to me
find a spell to pull people towards a safe reality
wait till dad and uncle cant stop me
implement
live happily ever after"
PART 3
it went exactly according to plan except step 4. he found and edited a spell that was like a subtle mind control that got more extreme over time, but when he cast it, the spell wasn't strong enough. where the pull should have been like a heavy chain on a chihuahua it was more like a piece of yarn on a Doberman. Milton only knew one person who could cast the spell. Giles. he had been traveling around learning all sorts of magic. Milton sent him a message asking for help casting a protection spell and Giles, happy to hear from his brother who hadn't been responding to his letters, readily agreed. he got there and Milton and him cast the spell. Milton claimed that part of the spell they had to sign the book. unbeknownst to Giles, Milton didn't actually sign it. Giles was now tied to the book. Milton practically shoved him out the door so Giles left and ever after high started with its first year of students.
ps. the rest will be on my other blog specifically for EAH
my favorite sapphics <3
I feel like Apple and Daring were rlly close when they were little. They were kinda forced to be around each other bcuz of their parents, but I think it turned into a genuine friendship. However as they got older and the pressure to literally be in love with each other increased, they drifted apart. Especially bcuz apple is a lesbian and I hc daring as aroace, so the immense pressure put on them to love someone who they literally could not love romantically rlly hindered their relationship and they felt awkward around each other, only hanging out for appearances rlly.
hey pals, i actually REALLY don't like the dragon games lineup
like... this is just so random. it doesn't fit. i don't like this. if ever after high didn't solely exist to market dolls, these are the students that i can see playing in the dragon games. but first, i wanna start with an explanation of why i'm removing who i'm removing from the lineup
the wonderlandians: i'm gonna be so fr, if scott morrison came to my hs and was like "yo guys i'm starting a basketball team" i am NOT joining that shit. and bro wasn't even incarcerated for poisoning the other country i have citizenship in OR idk stealing some other lady's job. he's just a prime minister that i don't really like. and i'm not a refugee. the wonderlandians on the other hand... yikes. they would NOT have played dragonball with the evil queen
the o'hair twins: now first of all, holly has expressed nothing but wanting to follow her destiny, which very much includes damselling and distressing. plus that hair is a fire hazard ;-; as for poppy, when i first watched dragon games i deadass thought that the twins ONLY got armour because they were just modelling what everyone else would get, and they wouldn't take part. especially because i think she'd be more concerned with maintaining the integrity of the armour and doing routine checks just making sure that a piece of equipment wouldn't become faulty and responsible for one of her friends or classmates getting injured
melody piper: what do you MEAN that this girl isn't emceeing the event?? she was born for that
who would actually play:
raven queen, for the exact reasons in the show
apple white, but only because the evil queen blackmails her
now, an argument could be made against darling charming, since she'd been working so hard before this point to maintain the whole "damsel in distress" thing she had going on since her parents were legacy book-thumping royals, however i think she would've been able to make the case to them "well daring is gonna marry apple one day so i think it's good for me to start getting along with snow white now since she's his future mother in law", plus everyone practically worships snow white
daring charming. bro has a DRAGON RIDING LICENSE. yet he wasn't on the field lmao
cerise hood. girlie is canonically a jock. she would live for dragon games. all she'd need to do is pin her hood to her hairline and she'd be fine
briar beauty because she's literally an adrenaline junkie. it's honestly more surprising that she WASN'T the first one to sign up. like make it make sense
i can see jillian beanstalk also joining since she's got that big ol sense of adventure
now, last spot is a bit of a tossup. i could probably see hopper croakington joining just to try to impress briar, or sparrow because it's "rock 'n roll". i'm leaning towards hopper slightly more since sparrow's whole thing is "i look out for the number one: me" or whatever and he's probably more afraid of dying than like. looking cool. especially because i actually don't think he does any hero classes or anything (just going off memory)
