Ever After High Headcanon Cause I Rewatched It Recently And Was Reminded Of This Idea

Ever After High Headcanon cause I rewatched it recently and was reminded of this idea

When Lizzie and Courtly were kids, they were the best of friends. absolutely inseparable. and Lizzie would often say that when they grew up, she was gonna marry Courtly and they would be queens together. In fact, she promised.

As they grew up they developed romantic feelings for each other. and soon both had those same feelings for Kitty and they all started dating. They promised to be together forever.

Then the curse happened.

Many people fled Wonderland. It was essentially an "every man for himself" situation. Lizzie wanted to go and make sure her girlfriends were okay and got out safely, but she was forced to Ever After by her mother and the guards under her command kept her from doing so. Luckily, Kitty was able to make it and they both found each other again. But Courtly was no where to be seen. She was still back in their cursed homeland.

Courtly was alone. She barely had any family, the Queen of Hearts wasn't in the best place, mentally speaking, after the curse started, and the Cheshire Cat was only so comforting (would rather play pranks than genuinely help people). Courtly felt abandoned. Her girlfriends had left her. alone. with no one to help, she grew sour and mean.

Taking over Wonderland High was just the beginning. She intended to keep the promises made between her and her now ex-girlfriends by any means necessary. Including using the Evil Queen’s magic book. Including trapping them. Including turning against them.

She wasn't going to let herself be left alone and forgotten again.

Rereading the EAH books and getting upset over the fact that the show didn't explore some of the (imo) more interesting themes of the story

(More musings below lmao)

The show had plenty of elements I adore too, and developed some characters that the book didn't so much [like Darling, Daring, and Cupid]- I just wish the show had more time to really dive in to more complex plots, rather than joking vignettes. Like you could TELL the show was starting to head in that direction with stuff like Dragon Games, and of course that's when it got cancelled :(.

And don't get me started on the HUMOR differences. The Ever After High show made me laugh for sure, but the type of comedy was very different from the book's. The show's humor tended to feel sort of "how do you do fellow kids do you like cell phones well this character also likes cell phones and they're called SPELL phones get it", whereas the books had a lot of clever, more satirical jokes.

There's just a lot of little, quick things, like Apple always feeding bird seed to birds outside her window and accidentally over-feeding them, or Briar escaping a tower by falling asleep and eavesdropping.

I think part of it boils down to the books being aimed at a slightly older audience than the show tbh, but if there's anything kids cartoons have shown it's that TV-Y can get surprisingly mature at times. Idk, I just miss this series so much. Justice for Ever After High, gone too soon. 😭

also i feel bad when i say im not picky w music because i mean that about the genre but then a friend will rec me a harry styles song or smthing and im like… oh.. no not this thank you…

the feminine urge to make posts analyzing doll shows

I honestly really hate the narrative that Daring Charming is selfish in Epic Winter. Like, Daring has never been selfish before. He might be a bit vain but he has always thought of others before him. For examples, he didn't tell on Lizzie despite the fact that he would lose the bet. He turned into a dog in one of the books and had stayed to protect Briar who had turned into a patch of roses.

Idk, I hate that they make him sooooo yk

I headcanon that Cupid has to act scared around things that are completely normal to her, but she doesn't exactly know what the Ever After High students consider scary so she acts..overly afraid of everything.

That moment she was scared of the woods? Fake.

She acts very overly afraid of Mr. Badwolf and other villains and Mr. Badwolf feels really bad because he doesn't know why he scares Cupid so much.

Everyone tries to figure out what DOESN'T scare Cupid and Cupid just acts afraid of any little thing they show her that's slightly creepy.

Blondie is very confused by this because she literally has skulks with little pink bows in their room, she does specials on her mirrorcast about Cupid and her fears.

But at the same time she says really creepy fucked up shit by Ever After High standards.

"I miss eating eyeballs :("

"I miss talking to dead people."

No one knows what's up with Cupid, she is forever confusing to them.
