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)

I love that in the EAH series they made the Evil Queen a D1 ragebaiter. Like, in the books she uses the very clever manipulation of Raven's feelings to try and escape the mirror but is also quite clearly very pleased to be able to speak to Raven again. Whilst the latter is true in Dragon Games (woman who is desperate to talk to anybody, let's be real), it's implied that she attempts to bait Raven into destroying the mirror physically every single visit. And get this! Even at 16, Raven still nearly falls for it! Despite years of visits, years of goading, she is locked and loaded into shattering the mirror with her powers!

I do sometimes also wonder if her rage is almost an excuse to attempt to release her mother as well, in a more subconscious way. Whilst she knows the Evil Queen is evil and should never, ever be let out, we get glimpses into how rough that is for Raven (the rant in the Castleteria defending her in Way Too Wonderland, for example). Also, like... Raven is literally the only character in EAH (if memory serves me right) confirmed to have an absent parent, never mind that absent parent is both incarcerated (as opposed to dead, so, in theory, she should be able to see her mother again but is limited to one visit a year) AND the fairytale character she is meant to follow in terms of destiny.

Anyway! All of this to say, I'm not surprised Apple shattered the mirror in her first interaction with the Evil Queen. If Raven still struggles to control her temper and has had a lifetime of learning her mother's manipulation techniques, Apple, who has never had proof of just how evil the Evil Queen is, is especially susceptible to doing something as stupid as throwing an apple at the mirror in rage. I'd also like to flag up the fact that the Evil Queen knows exactly how to manipulate Snow White straight off the bat as well. The game was rigged against Apple in this one, I'm afraid.

Also interesting to consider how Apple's interactions with Raven's mother influence her perception of what she is trying to do to Raven. I believe up until she has seen Real Evil she has thought of destiny as people playing pretend. A 'you poison me, I get kissed awake and imprison you and then I release you and we go back to being friends' kind of thing. Make-believe but destiny, you know? It's through the Evil Queen that she glimpses the way in which a destiny is for life, not just for Legacy Day.

Dragon Games is sooo fun! Watched it again while eating today 🍽 While drawing I noticed Apple’s accessories are insane… the crown and necklace were super difficult 🥲
