I heard it before I saw it. It came over the speakers of a store I was in before I realized what it was.
The bickering of the Narrators made me laugh. Names of characters I never knew but I had to learn more. Trying to cram all of the adventure, excitement, and plot into one message, one advertisement to get a young girl hooked.
I knew about Monster High, I'd watched the episodes on their website over and over again.
But Ever After High? It was different.
The dolls, the webisodes, the books, the theme song.
I was always a fairy tale kid. Sisters Grimm, A Tale Dark and Grimm, The Land of Stories, The School For Good and Evil, Once Upon a Time, even the Cinder series.
But Ever After High stuck with me and continues to be apart of me.
I cheered when Raven defied her destiny.
I awwed at Ashlynn and Hunter bravely revealing their secret relationship.
I gasped when Briar threw the storybook of legends down the well.
I gasped (again) when Darling kissed Apple awake (And this was BEFORE Adora and Catra)
I shouted "I knew it!" at the screen when Daring was transformed into a beast.
And I smiled as well as giggled at Madeline's wonderlandiful spirit. (she's my profile for a reason).
From Legacy Day, Thronecoming, Spring Unsprung, Way Too Wonderland, Dragon Games, all the way to Epic Winter.
I started writing my Ever After High Next Generation series back in 2020, I was reading Ever After High fanfics even before then and falling in love with the community.
Even though the story is incomplete, there are some tales that should have been told, and there are more than a few blank pages left in the book, but like they say...
The End is just the beginning
