I was struggling to figure out how I wanted to draw the dudes so I spent way too long drawing them all. I then sat on the files for another way too long because there were too many of them lol indiviual drawings under the cut!!!!!!!!!
Friendships from EAH (and overall Dynamics) I wanted to see more Pt2
Thanks to @pontipines @caliburn-the-sword and @internetgiraffekid1673.I loved the last post and all the ideas many of you commented, it was amazing!
If you're interested in knowing what post is, this is part 1
(Naturally I'm going to focus more on commenting the friendship aspect of the series, but there's room to explore another Dynamics. I do this more based on the series and not the books, that being said, let's go!)
• The boys: Now, I wanted to talk about them in the last post but I already wrote a lot about Cupid, and with the boys I was afraid I was gonna make the post endless.
Now I do want to clarify that when I talk about the boys i'm referring to Daring, Hunter, Dexter, Sparrow and Hopper, the Ever After boys, now of course you can add Alistair and Chase (if only they put him on the show) eventually, but even with that, it would have been really cool if they had a little more of focus.
One of my answers of the previous post I was talking about this idea of episode that could be connected with the episode of the fairy ball: Hunter tells Ashlynn that he cannot go with her to that ball because of the movie night he's gonna have with the boys. This episode would be complementary, Hunter, Sparrow, Daring and Hopper having some shenanigans, and even interact with the first date of Dexter and Raven (because ngl Dexven special episode are kind of boring), it would be fun if the guys try to give Dexter advice to handle a date or try to help them out and fail miserably, I just think it would be fun.
Can you imagine these guys wanted to see a horror movie but they see Dexter and Raven in their first date embarrassed and not knowing what to do? So they tried to help Dexter in his date with Raven failing miserably, with a bunch of jokes and confusing Dexter in a moment because of course four completely different boys are trying to tell him how to flirt.
Another idea for an episode is: Hunter doesn't want to be anymore in the bookball team so he decides that he wants to go with the cheerhexeers, the boys react in a way I can only describe as this episode of Big Time Rush where the guys are actually flabbergasted bcs Kendall does ice skating; nonetheless they accept it, another episode could be a direct continuation of this one before, where they’re trying to find a replacement for Hunter on the team while Hunter helps them, the possibilities are completely endless, with good comedy, show those episodes would have been gold.
Kitty and Cerise: yeah I love their dynamic in that one episode, we should've had more of them, even a little bit in spring unsprung or some of the Cerise centered episodes.
Chase and Darling: platonic Chaseling I'm rooting for you. Sometimes I just imagine them being in a friendly rivalry, but what if I tell you unhinge rivalry?
Briar and Faybelle: I feel like we need to see more of them before Epic winter, they are a parallelism of Raven and Apple dynamic and that's fascinating, Faybelle could've interacted with Briar in Thronecoming since is her special and give her another pov.
Cedar and someone: I can say “Cedar is the best character on Ever After high books” and while you could disagree, we all can agree that Cedar it's an amazing character in the books.
Tiny and someone: he's friends with Jillian so more about them being besties BCS he's a sweetheart, he's also friends with the boys so i need them to try to include Tiny in some of their shenanigans.
Also hear me out: after the episode were the girl get really small, Tiny and Nina bonding.
I'm going to do the same critique as I did with Cupid in part 1. I feel she needs more time with the people that are supposed to be her friends, she's supposed to be friends with Raven, Cerise, Maddie, Ashlynn, Hunter, Kitty, Lizzie (probably), and yet she has only talked to Raven, Ashlynn and Hunter, and I don't even know if the last two talk to her ever again after True & hearts day, so yeah my point is, we needed more of Cedar in the series and we needed more platonic Dynamics with Cedar.
The cheerhexeers: Ok but hear me out, Faybelle and the other ones (Hunter, Holly, Farrah and Nina) just because I imagine Faybelle as some kind of Sue Sylvester with a megaphone telling them and the dynamic overall could've been gold.
Mirrornet gang: I also wanted to talk about them, but I knew it was going to get long, so...
I would absolutely love a bunch of episodes with Blondie, Dexter, Cupid and Humphrey's shenanigans (they'll be my favorite type of group trope I'm afraid) (someone commented also about Ginger and Hopper being part of it and that's so interesting, can you imagine Ginger having her cooking segment or Hopper having his segment of poetry? IN THIS ESSAY I-)
In this case it also helps the individuals of what I'm going to call the core group, because just as show!Cupid, show!Blondie, show!Dexter and show!Humphrey give me the energy they don't have friends and that's criminal, cuz I can just imagine a lot of episodes where they interact with each other learning a lot about each other and actively helping.
You know I already don't like the fairy ball special (because it just feels wrong to me), but some moments could actually be a lot better if this friendship had happened. If Dexter were friends with Blondie and we already know they're friends, her interaction with Raven in that episode where she is advising her about dates wouldn't be so clearly a commercial. Or Cupid and Blondie also trying to compete for the Thronecoming Queen with Dexter and Humphrey making the online voting system, COULD HAVE BEEN SHOULD HAVE BE-
The O'Hair Twin sisters with someone: I haven't realized that much about this if it wasn't for a reply, and i think this is a main issue with the twins, these girls besides each other don’t have an important interaction with other characters and that, sadly reflects a lot on their personalities. Unless...
You know, i really like this idea of Poppy with Duchess & Sparrow not only bcs i like the vibe but also bcs this silence onesided bickering that Duchess has with Poppy, like we saw on the episode of the ice skating and even when Poppy was introduce that Duchess in the background was too stunt to speak, meanwhile it would've been interesting to explore Holly, cause i feel she's more flat than Poppy, give her an episode about her writing, you could try to give her this as a way to escape the royal agenda, with this you explore her friendship with Apple (that is something very important to her apparently when I look in her profile) and then Cedar could start to like what she's writing and they decide to share with her some time, also just like I said, give her a friendship with the cheerhexeers squad, that can help her A LOT.
The classics: yeah it's a pun to "the plastics" (Apple, Briar and Ashlynn) and technically a continuation of Ashlynn/Briar, but here, I want to comment how amazing it is developing all of them BCS of the plot, I've already give ideas like Briar being the other friend that Ashlynn is afraid to tell her relationship with Hunter, Apple and Briar meaning a lot for Ashlynn and having hiding this secret.
Let's say that Ashlynn is in the scene were Briary and Apple argue before Thronecoming, after Briar say "you would get poison for what? Like a week?" And the tension appears between Apple and Briar, Briar explains her pov and when she says "Raven is gonna sign, but maybe I don't want to anymore" Apple reaches for Briar and Ashlynn stops her bcs it would be a subtle detail that Ashlynn is on Briar side and Apple is feeling they're growing apart BCS she actually believes in the system and her two friends don't.
And Dragon Games (that I like to think it's an Apple centric special even though Raven has a lot agency aswell), imagine if not only Raven found out, but also these two, and then we could've had these important moments before and after Apple falls asleep.
Yeah, dynamics 〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜
I hope you like it, and if you don't, that's ok, what do you think? There's some other dynamics you want to share?
So since no one else has said it, I’ll just say it myself…
Tiny from Ever After High is CRIMINALLY underrated like no one ever talks about him at all, like the UNNAMED BACKGROUND CHARACTERS get talked about more than bro😭
He’s so CUTE, like you’d expect him to have this deep intimidating voice, being the “bad boy with a soft spot” archetype, because it’s ever after high, but he’s the complete opposite of that and it’s adorable. He has a high pitched voice, super sweet to everyone, and he always uses his strength and height to help others. He’s also pretty much friends with everyone.
UGHHH, I wish Ever After High didn’t get cancelled so early, we probably would’ve got more of him, maybe even a face reveal, I always wondered what his face looked like ever since I was little, I always imagined him with brown curly hair…anyways he’s so sweet😞💕
Okay now that I’m on my ever after high pet headcanon havoc. HOLLY SHOULDVE HAD THE MONKEY AND POPPY SHOULDVE HAD THE LION IT MAKES WAAAAAY MORE SENSE?!
POPPY CAN TRY STYLES WITH CLIPPERS MANE(fuck the forever cub shit It’s not real if I don’t look at it)
MONKEYS CAN CLIMB. YKNOW THE TOWER? THAT SHES GONNA LIVE IN?! Plus idk they could match each others energy or smth
Anyways what animal do y’all think Tiny should have because I wanna give him one because he deserves it. I was thinking like a large sugar glider or smth just because it’s silly.
