#the Shannon hale books

So wait, what’s the range on how long EQ has been in prison for wonderland. 1 year? 5? 7? In the show the characters that escape seem the same age as we currently see them, but I vaguely remember in the books being implied for longer than that.

If you don’t have an answer that’s ok, your seemingly episodic memory of the franchise amazes me anyhow.

I mostly just reread the books all the time because I have them illegally downloaded on my phone and I’m planning on taking an English major so I just have a good memory / analyze text like crazy. Also like the literacy of teenage girls who have unhealthy obsessions? Is surprisingly good.

Anyways this is always something that confuses me!!!

BECAUSE THEY NEVER SAY HOW MANY YEARS

LIKE MAYBE I NEED TO REREAD BUT MOSTLY THEY TALK A LOT ABT PRECURSE/MIRROR PRISON IN THR SHANNON HALE SERIES AND THE DIARIES AND A LOT ABOUT DURING IMPRISONMENT IN THE SHANNON HALE SERIES / TV SERIES BUT WE NEVER GET A TIMELIME!!!

Anyways the best I can canonically get you is that Lizzie mentions being 3 and the curse not being there and we know that the og 3 wonderlandians had been in ever after since at least freshman year

So basically that’s like an 11 year timespan

I mean we can assume it takes place a bit later bc bunny thought Alistair would ask her out before the curse which implies she was older, but then also her dad probably made Bunny with a human so if things like beastiality work different in wonderland maybe typical dating ranges r different too

Ok now I actually want to analyze it more , I’ll probably reread the first 3 books on my plane ride tmr

#me desperately trying to analyze this unfinished kids show #that has like 4 different timelines #(the tv series #the diaries #the Shannon hale books #the random ass tweets from the creators #the evil queen #evil queen #mira shards #raven queen #EQ #wonderland curse #eah evil queen #ever after high #eah #wonderlandians #lizzie hearts #bunny blanc #alistair liddle #alistair wonderland #kitty cheshire #maddie hatter #madeline hatter #shannon hale

i find it unreasonably funny when people hc raven listening to like sad emo rock or smth like that (honestly tbh it's so valid), when raven canonically is a swiftie.

and what's even better is the fact that dexter is also a swiftie and i think they both canonically sing a bit of enchanted together.

Round 2, Poll 7: Ever After High vs Leviathan

#best childhood book #poll #ever after high #shannon hale #leviathan #scott westerfeld

[whatabunchofalices]

some eah fun facts from shannon hale’s books!

maddie takes chemythstry, riddling and storytelling 101 (she takes more classes but these were the ones mentioned!)

raven takes general villainy, home evilnomics, poison fruit theory, history of evil spells, kingdom mismanagement and music

when raven was younger her mother would tell her stories about the marsh king, the boogeyman, the scissorman, the wendigo, hungry witches, angry tigers and wicked sorcerers

when maddie is sad she’s hops arounds because who can be sad while hopping?

maddie has a flag language with her father (he spells out messages with flags). the mad hatter can also speak riddlish with flags

one of the cards the queen of hearts gave lizzie said “above all else, avoid these things: vats of poison, Jabberwocks, paper cuts in fingertips and Concern For Others. If ever you detect Concern For Others squirming into you, shout at people till the feeling goes away. Or the people do.”

lizzie throws hedgehogs at people but mostly she uses them for croquet (don’t worry wonderland hedgehogs are strong and are meant to be able to handle such activities)

lizzie carries around a butter knife with a heart engraved on the handle

lizzie can play the dulcimer

daring is a katy fairy fan (katy perry)

cupid loves when hunter does that hero pose where he rips off his shirt

cedar’s biggest fears are woodpeckers, wood-chippers, woodchucks, axes, fires, termites, never turning real, being stuck in a wooden body with an honesty curse forever, disappointing her dad and letting her friends down

apples’s ringtone is “you don’t know you’re charming” by one reflection (one direction)

apple always keeps a basket of candy and coins on her balcony

when hanging up on the phone instead of saying goodbye they say “the end”

there is a zip line inside the sleeping beauty palace

dexter bites his nails when he’s nervous (in this case he did it while thinking about his unknown destiny)

the charming family plays a game called “bag” which is similar to tag but when you get tagged the person who was “it” puts you in a bag and drags you around.

during summers lizzie and kitty are the only students to stay at eah. the white queen also stays

apple white has an one reflection (one direction) action figure collection

while maddie and lizzie are kitty’s friends, cedar is kitty’s “almost-friend”

ashlynn smells like a mix of cypress tree, lily of the valley, lemon cleaning soap, and the crinkly paper that lines new shoe boxes (according to kitty)

kitty also said that hunter smells like wood smoke, fir tree shavings, and soy turkey patties

raven has a tailor quick (taylor swift) shirt

Thinking about how trauma changes Apple's and Raven's lives forever but in different ways.

When Apple is young, she has a near death experience so she seeks comfort in becoming like her mother, in growing up to follow her destiny because she is certain that nothing bad is going to happen to her again as long as she lives like this, there won't be more surprises, there's only going to be goodness in her life.

When Raven is only 6, she sees with her own eyes what her mother wants her to become when she transforms her puppy into a bone rat and that marks her in such a way she promises to never grow up like her, she does her best to grow as distant to her mother, to evilness and that destiny because that's what took from her one of her first joys, the one her father gave her.

Even if they're on complete sides of this debate, they're mirrors.

#I will always love shannon hale's eah it's just SO good #she writes them in such a complex way #just wow #eah books #gecko rants

i will never shut up about the eah books. i remember in 2022 literally going insane while searching for them at amazon. they were super expensive and i didn’t know that i could just download them from a google drive link lol but it’s fine 😭 i remembered I was coming home from a stressful day at school and just saw the package in my bed waiting for me 😭 gosh when i tell you how excited and happy i was- i got the storybook of legends storybox (the first 3 shannon hale books) and the evil queen’s diary. i read the evil queen’s diary because im obsessed with her lmao and then read the storybook of legends after. when i tell you I finished the WHOLE series in less than three days- is an UNDERSTATEMENT 😭 well tbf i still haven’t read the once upon a time one yet.. but im looking for a chance to read it soon, i read raven’s diary, it was like in may 2023. all i have to say is, IM HERE FOR THE EVIL QUEEN AND RAVEN MOMENTS!! then i read shadow high and finished it in less than a week 😭😭 i took a lot of time (not rlly a lot but compared to how fast i read eah books this one took the longest) because during that time i had finals in june, then i had my middle school graduation all in the same week while studying + reading it. I honestly don’t know why i just didn’t wait for summer break.. i ordered the book and got too excited when it arrived I just dropped all my responsibilities and started reading it 😭

ALSO, i found Suzanne’s eah books in the most random place ever, not a bookstore, not a book fair, MY SCHOOL’S DAMN LIBRARY!!!!!!!

i told my principal if i could buy them and she said yes 😊 (took a lot of convincing and I wasn’t leaving that office until the books are in my bag)

so yeahhh here’s my long story time about the eah books 😭 I’m thinking of doing a book review soon!!

Old art #11: Enna Burning

Shannon Hale and Books of Bayern were some of my favourite reads last decade. Here's some watercolour fan art I did of the fiery Enna.

“Why does Cupid act scared if she spent all that time at monster high? Shouldn’t she be used to it?”

Well in MH, basketball is called casketball, and is played mostly the same way with the rules slightly bent.

In EAH basketball is played with literal baskets full of pastries and the students are chased by hungry wolves.

I can imagine that would take some getting used to.

Love these books so much.

If combining KND with any random ass interest I got was illegal I’d be in jail for life

Well

Hey what if I made an Ever After High AU

#LOOK!! Look! I like fairy tales #I like knd #and I like the premise of ever after high #well not just the premise I like the characters but the premise is the only part needed for a KND AU #also the shannon hale books are the best source don’t @ me #honestly I’m just struggling to come up with fairy tales for each character #and not just resorting to assigning my favourite characters to my favourite fairy tales #because I need them to be accurate!! #though I think I can immediately assign kuki to be a wonderlandian #knd #codename: kids next door #kids next door #I’m probably not going to tag it as Ever After High au because I don’t think it’ll be set in a high school #I still want to keep some KND elements
