i am back in the Ever After High rabbit hole (they only have those in Wonderland but i suppose one spat me out straight into the Well of Wonder. figures.) and i am on the whole 'fake storybook' point in Thronecoming, namely when Briar finds the real book in her dorm room. no, i am not on about the 'how many people have signed the fake one since' but rather: how many people have signed the fake immediately after it was hidden?
it might explain a lot of how the previous generation didn't exactly follow their own stories either such as Red and Bad Wolf marrying each other. a similar principle could be extended to Ashlynn and Hunter, especially with Ashlynn confirmed to have signed the fake book.
was Raven's father even destined to be the Good King or is that a by-product? but this one causes similar problems as counting everything in the canon generation's that weren't hexactly it, like Apple being blonde (apparently one of the original manuscripts of Grimm's Snow White had her as a blonde, but still), and Darling not being a damsel in distress. Raven not wanting to be evil would mean that the Evil Queen didn't sign her page, but she clearly did if their line needed to sign the Storybook to unlock their full powers, and she didn't have a reason not to sign her page given that she stole it for herself.
i'm now realizing that the 'havoc' they said she wanted for all the stories was to not have everyone sign the Storybook of Legends. exactly as Raven wanted for herself, it sounds pretty Rebel if i may say so. the clear difference between them though is Raven never intended any harm. Her mom though notoriously cursed Wonderland.
i guess i'm also a little puzzled as to why she stole the book in the first place, and why, under gods, did she hide the book in her own dorm room? Did she hope that when her kid is placed in the same room she eventually finds the real book and signs while leaving the rest with the fake book? (the cards with the toys say that every kid is placed where their parents were placed.) but why would she go beyond her story? why hide it in the school even? i would expect it to be in a dungeon, or something
