fan of the most niche things

I have personal beef with Fang's powers. I swear no other character's powers make me more pissed off than his because it just doesnt make SENSE.

according to Oxford Languages (the google search I just did), a shadow is defined as "a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface." Or basically, a shadow is kind of anti-light or absence of light. Shadows are also not a physical thing as they have no matter (doesn't take up space and doesn't have mass).

THEREFORE. EVERY SINGLE USAGE OF FANG'S POWERS IS

COMPLETE

AND UTTER

BS

AND IS JUST

PHYSICALLY

IMPOSSIBLE.

EVEN IN HIS WIKI PAGE EXPLAINING HIS POWERS, THEY USE TERMS LIKE "LEMBAGA" AND "JELMAAN" WHICH MEANS SILHOUETTE, BASICALLY. SO EVEN THEY KNOW THOSE AREN'T DAMN SHADOWS.

Are they cool as all hell? Yes. Are the capabilities of Fang's powers consistent? NO. WHAT THE HELL DOES SHADOW HAZE EVEN MEAN??? THAT'S NOT A REAL THING, MONSTA

honestly, at this point, I think Fang's powers can do whatever the writers want to happen just to move the plot forward. I'm still stuck on the shadow haze thing because how the HELL did multiple professional, working adults in an entertainment industry looked at that and thought "Yeah, that sounds good let's put that in."

like, boboiboy is RIGHT. THERE. GOPAL IS RIGHT THERE. YING IS RIGHT THERE. GOPAL HAS THE ABILITY TO TURN THINGS INTO ANY MATERIAL THAT HE WANTS BUT THEY DO NOT EXPLORE THIS CONCEPT AT ALL?? WHY DOES HE NOT TRAIN TO USE IT MORE. WHY DID THEY SHOW US THIS AND THEN THREW AWAY THE IDEA.

if you want to give fang shadow powers, that's fine, great, amazing! So then GIVE HIM SHADOW POWERS. At the top of my head, there are two characters who have actual shadow-esque powers a.k.a shikamaru from naruto and dr. facilier from princess and the frog.

Shikamaru primarily uses "Shadow Imitation Jutsu" which means when his shadow connects to another person's shadow, they're forced to mimic whatever he's doing. He can also do something similar to Fang's "Tangan Bayang" or "Shadow Hands (?)" (im sorry I watch the show in malay) with the key difference being his shadows STAY ON SURFACES AND ARE NOT 3D.

while Dr. Facilier doesn't have shadow powers exactly, he has a living (?) shadow that IS A 2D SHAPE THAT STICKS TO SURFACES AND IS NOT 3D.

like, yes of course the shadow being will wreck havoc via taking things through their shadows. their 2D shadows. that do not have a physical form because they have no matter.

there are probably other examples but you get the point. So, how would I change this, if I could? I would honestly pick one. If you want Fang to have shadow powers, give him SHADOW POWERS. SHADOW MANIPULATION. HE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RUN VIA THE POWER OF SHADOW THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE.

OR! If the writers just simply love Fang's zoo of weapons, then give him another, similar power that has a physical form.

me, personally, the power that would work best for Fang is the power of Illusion. Throughout the whole run of Boboiboy, Fang is always hiding something. No other main character except for him has changed sides in multiple arcs only for it to turn out that he was acting and was working as a double-double-agent. I'm not sure if the short time he was with Adu Du in the first few seasons of original Boboiboy counts but the one where it turns out he was an alien and the ending of Boboiboy Galaxy 2 are key examples of this.

You can still have the animals, you can still have the haze or whatever else you want Fang to do except this time, he can ACTUALLY do those things because with Illusion, the possibilities are honestly endless. Are they real? No but they don't need to be real for it to work and look cool as hell.

I'm imagining something like Genjutsu from naruto and yes, I know I've mentioned naruto twice in this post because I am a loser and a nerd but it's worth it, promise! It could work like the fox miraculous in mlb or even like wanda's powers in age of ultron. they're all pretty similar in the sense that they are all illusion powers but different levels of effectiveness or how it's played out.

Fang could start off with simple illusions like heavy rain or his signature move of animals as weapons and slowly build up to more intricate and complex illusions that take the person or a group of people into a completely different, made up space. If you have read my first post about boboiboy, you'd know that I headcanon Fang as a swordsman just like Kaizo. I see his style of swordsmanship as less flashy, much quicker than Kaizo (without powers) and more lethal. He's like a shadow without having shadow powers! So he could lull his enemies with illusions before striking them down with his sword(s)!

I think the hate towards Apple can be deserved, but I also think she needs to be given some leniency.

She's perfect.

Oh, but she wears glasses, and her hair is blonde instead of ebony black like her mother, and her voice isn't as light as her mother's. Many maids and the like say this where she can clearly hear. She hears it all and takes it to heart. Therefore, she tries to cover it up by wearing contacts and being such a perfect girl that the physical traits can't be so looked at.

She's ready for her perfect ending. She's ready for her perfect story. She's ready for all of it. And it will be perfect as long as she's perfect.

Then, oh no, the villain of her story isn't excited or willing? That's strange. That's not how it's supposed to be. It has to be perfect. Everyone expects it to be. So it has to be.

The Headmaster confronts her, telling her to fix it. Telling her that she will go poof along with everything and everyone in her story if she doesn't. Her friends, who are part of the story, will be forced to experience what is basically death if one person doesn't fit and fill the perfect role. Raven has to be evil. She has to poison her and lose and be trapped or else the entire world as she knows it will be wrought into destruction.

Darling, walking in jingling with full body armour and 3 extra foot on her: Got it!

Lizzie: I was thinking I'd design something...

Hai! Thank you for the question anon!!

My interpretation of Ramenman is that, I believe Ramenman does have feelings for Kaizo, it's just that he never said anything as he believed that Kaizo can't love someone in a romantic sense..

I think, Kaizo and Ramenman are childhood friends, this was because of the saying "They have a history" and the popular headcanon in which Kaizo and Ramenman were rivals under Masksmana.

So for Ramenman, Kaizo was his closet rival, someone he admired, someone he trusted with his life, the person he always expected to stand besides, and the person he had grown to love.

Yet Ramenman never made a move, he knows how closed off Kaizo is, the struggle Kaizo has into understanding his own feelings. So he never said anything, he isn't scared of rejection, he think that Kaizo can never love someone in a romantic sense. For him, Kaizo wasn't someone who had simply never dated, he was someone who seemed fundamentally incapable of opening that part of himself. Kaizo built walls around his heart so high that the people closets to him couldn't see inside, not even Fang.

Ramenman would look at those walls and think that "Loving someone romantically isn't something Kaizo has room for."

So over the years, he stopped asking himself, "Could Kaizo love me?" Instead, he accepted what he believed was the answer, "Kaizo won't love anyone."

That belief became the truth he lived by. It hurts, but it was a pain he could endure because it felt inevitable. If Kaizo couldn't love anyone, then Ramenman's feelings weren't being rejected, they simply belonged to someone who wasn't capable of returning them.

So ramenman accepted his fate.

He loves Kaizo

And Kaizo couldn't love anyone romantically.

That was the end of the story.

There was nothing to fight because in his mind, there was nothing to lose.

Then Sai arrived.

And that completely shattered Ramenman's world.

He watched as the impossible happen.

The walls that he believes are indestructable have a gate.

He just isn't the one who found the key.

And that moment hurts the most, because the truth Ramenman had spent years making peace with...

...was never true at all.

Kaizo could love.

He was capable of loving someone romantically.

Suddenly, every memory becomes a "what if."

"What if I stayed after training instead of leaving?"

"What if i just asked him how he was doing?"

"What if I'd just... told him?"

For the first time, Ramenman realizes that maybe Kaizo wasn't incapable of love. Maybe, Kaizo was just waiting for someone patient enough to reach him.

And Sai was that person.

Ramenman isn't a jealous person, yet he envied Sai, but not in the way that you think.

He is jealous but it isn't because Sai was the one who got Kaizo, though it was part of it, he is jealous of Sai's persistence.

Sai never accepted Kaizo's walls, where Ramenman saw the high and never ending wall, he respectfully kept his distance...

Sai saw the same wall and thought, "Well, someone's gotta knock."

And that is something Ramenman never did.

That realization fills Ramenman with regret because he wonders if he misunderstood Kaizo all along.

Because he realizes he was respecting boundaries that Kaizo never actually asked him to keep.

He assumed distance was what Kaizo wanted.

Sai discovered that what Kaizo truly needed was someone who refused to leave.

——

Fun fact: I actually made a fic about Ramenman with the same idea from above. saying this now made me realize I never made a post about it....

It's called: How could I...?

For as long as Ramenman could remember, he’d loved Kaizo.

It wasn’t loud or dramatic —it simply was.

From the moment they met, something in him shifted, anchored itself to Kaizo like gravity.

But Kaizo?

Kaizo was a fortress. Quiet, unreadable, closed off in a way that made romance feel like a distant language. He wasn’t cruel, just... unreachable. Love, relationships, all that tenderness—they weren’t part of his world. Ramenman knew this. He accepted it, even when it stung.

Kaizo couldn't fall in love. That was the truth Ramenman made peace with.

So why —why did Kaizo looked at him like that?

It's still incomplete, but worry not as I am still working on it!

Foreword: This analysis is intended as pre-Dragon Game. This is because the Kiss Fiasco technically set an unprecedented precedent on the topic.

Personally, I think it depends a lot on the marriage policy followed in Ever After. So we must ask ourselves: 1) Is the notion of "true love" in a sacred sense widespread even among non-fairytale characters? 2) How do commoners experience marriage? 3) How do nobles experience marriage.

Answer 1 - Personally, I believe that true love as a concept is widespread even among non-fairytale characters; in fact, fairytale propaganda probably serves this purpose as well. This means that common people can experience an act of true love and hypothetically marry that person since they have no fairytale ties. Isn't that the case? Maybe.

Answer 2 - in the case that EAH remained in 1400, in theory even the common people arrange marriages, mainly for land management, while if it is in 2012 this does not happen. In our canon of commoner marriage, we have Cerise's parents and Hunter's parents. The Wolf-Hood couple, although true love, their fairy tale prevents them from staying together.

The Huntsman couple, on the other hand, seem to be completely homologous in their lifestyles, things that in fairy tales tend to indicate a certain affinity, ergo, Mr. Huntsman married his wife because he loves her. So, as far as commoners are concerned, I would say the verdict is: Commoners marry their true love, as long as it is socially acceptable.

Answer 3 - Royals arrange marriages and are adamant even when it comes to true love, and we have direct proof of this: Robin and Marian, Sparrow's parents. (Although I think she already knew it when she signed on.) Marian's elopement with Robin was taken badly. But how come, if she's Maid Marian, shouldn't they be okay with the fact that she ended up with Robin? Well, obviously her parents wanted to marry her with someone else!

We also know that Ashlynn's parents wanted to take her out of school after finding out about Hunter, without even considering that "maybe he's Cinderella and she's the prince." This also goes for Apple and Darling; the two haven't been together since Dragon Game, in fact Apple seems to be making one last effort with Daring.

On the other hand, it seems pretty obvious that Daring and Rosabella are officially engaged after Epic Winter, BUT let's look at their case - they're both royals, both in need of a partner, both from important families. In this scenario, the idea of them being "true love" is definitely more congenial. The verdict is therefore: No, I do not believe that true love affects marriage.

So, some concepts for various episodes I had. Mostlt Canon friendly, because i have the fold for the One i would do for my ideal remake:

Apple and Raven go exploring the catacombs in an attempt to reconnect with the spirits of the Bella and Ugly Sisters, in an attempt to get answers about their fate.

Apple has a genuine post-Dragon Game crisis, realizing that everyone has a life plan and she doesn't. She confronts her mother about it and has the courage to leave Daring.

An episode dedicated to the reconciliation of the Beauty cousins, with Rosabella and Briar managing to reunite with their parents.

Rosabella, Jillian, and Nina as a Power Trio dedicated to the environment and animals and holding pro-animal protests. Duchess can also stay with them.

An episode with Justine and Farrah as evil antagonists to Duchess and Faybelle. Get the irony.

Raven and her friends (Cedar, Maddie, Cerise) go to her kingdom, and the girls feel at ease there for the first time because it's full of strange creatures. On the contrary, the Apple Gang is uneasy.

Ashlynn realizes her mother doesn't have to die.

Briar organizes a trip with her friends and finally gets the chance to prove herself as a good leader, considering she's a princess and has never really taken charge.

Flashback to the traumatic childhoods of Lizzie, Kitty, and Maddie, who escape from Wonderland.

Episode about Dizzie's breakup because of Duchess. Eventual reunion of the two girls when it deteriorates Duchess's relationship with Sparrow.

Of course, there's also a moment of "peace" between Lizzie and Daring.

Darling's very first time in Wonderland.

Speaking of Darling: Episode of her practicing fencing at night with Maid Marian, and the two open up. Darling begins to have clear ideas about her future, and Marian opens up as a person.

Cerise ends up having to save a village, which could be either BookEnd or Hood Hollow, in collaboration with Ramona, and ends up revealing her secret. The situation sparks a debate, and ultimately it's decided that she's a heroine: The secret of the Hood/Woolf family is finally out.

The Mirror Blog gang goes on vacation to Melody's town, but a mysterious illness strikes the inhabitants upon their arrival. Ginger is arrested for being a witch, and Melody, Blondie, Cupid, and Dexter (because yes, she's an honorary girl) must solve the case.

Blondie finally decides to find her father and discovers she's related to the Charmings. Drama ensues.

I'm from Italy and trust me,i would do a lot of more comic of just Cedar speaking in Tuscany slang if the fandom was ready to get the slang of other langues as well ahaha.

Apple doesn't get sick at all. She gets a few fevers on exercise, but she has an excellent immune system,at least now. When she was a kid got some flu,and the Castle was all over her feet to help her.

Poor Cerise has a harder time recovering at school than at home, because her wolf side would require a higher dosage of medication, which she can't have at EAH for obvious reasons. At home, Red cuddles her and prepares everything she wants. After all, caring for sick family members is part of their history!

Dexter gets sick frequently, given his delicate health. Especially allergies. He's so used to it now that even when he's sick, he takes an antihistamine and gets through the rest of the day without too many problems. Alternatively, he rests in bed.

Hopper has the same immune system as Dexter, but unlike him, he doesn't know how to handle it well. So he's regularly admitted to the infirmary, especially because he was super protected as a child.

Daring, perfect as he is, rarely gets sick, but when he does, it's the end. Also because she starts exaggerating her symptoms for the sake of attention - she ends up counting Hopper, and the two spend the week in bed.

Darling has an excellent immune system, she rarely gets sick, both in terms of timing and severity, YET at least at home they filled her with medicine because the Charmings were worried about her.

Hunter was raised by straightforward people. Even if they get sick, the Huntsmans have to work. I think she has an excellent immune system, but when she gets sick, she only gets ONE DAY of proper rest to recover in the shortest possible time. His mom taught him herbal remedies to heal quickly.

Ashlynn often experiences particularly violent physical pain, for reasons of self-preservation. As Cinderella, she has to work for her stepmother unless she's sick. So her body exponentially increases muscle pain to prevent her from working.

Sparrow is a punk in a G-rated show, which means he's automatically Straight Edge, that is, the wave punk that doesn't touch any substance, INCLUDING MEDICINE. Now, Sparrow is a smoker in my mind, so he can't be Straight Edge, BUT... Sparrow is stupid. So I think the "I don't need medicine" ideal is still into him! This means that either Poppy or Duchess regularly has to force him to take medicine to get better.

Duchess, as she is, tries to never get sick. She's just as stupid as Sparrow because she also doesn't take her medication to "hold on until It's possibile". So, she always has to be admitted to the infirmary because she faint due to Fever/pain

Kitty is terribly afraid of doctors. So at the slightest sign of illness, she runs away because she knows Lizzie would immediately take her to the infirmary. Especially since, as a cat, she needs constant vaccinations. Maddie is like that too, I mean—Victorian hatters were often in terrible health. Overall, I think Maddie and Kitty's poor health is balanced by Lizzie, who is a hypochondriac (she is a Victorian queen after all). Unlike them, she goes to the doctor at the slightest sign of illness.

The rest of the gang has the flu in a more or less classic way, but: Raven has a particularly bad nose and can't breathe for a long time even after the actual flu. Blondie is the one with the evil sore throat that keeps her from talking. Holly and Poppy pretend to be sick longer than necessary so they can waste time and avoid studying. Briar is prone to headaches (more from a hangover than a fever, probably), and Rosabella is the one with the leg cramps that get her down.

I don't think labels exist for queer people (other than the banal homo/bisexual), and I mean that in a negative sense. Let me explain: I believe that in the world of Ever After High, homosexuality is legal, not because they're particularly enlightened, but because it suits their way of life. There are many poor people, many orphans, and above all, there are many non-human creatures and cases of supernatural conception. So where homosexuality is strictly forbidden for nobles and fairy tale protagonists, common people can easily marry and adopt even if they're gay because... well, having full orphanages isn't convenient for them; it's better to give two extra hands to two peasants.

Honestly, fairies are pan by default, so it goes without saying. So, in a world where children are kidnapped by fairies, people get pregnant by pricking themselves and other mystical things, it's convenient for them that poor people marry each other.

Raven and Ginger would still be witches but it would be noticeably more obvious, a bit like Casta and Spelldon. (Bonus point because Candy Witch is already at Monster High)

Similarly, Meeshell would become a mermaid similar to Sirena Von Boo. Faybelle and Farrah would remain fairies but more insectoid.

Apple and Briar would be mummy,since they are both "un-dead" princess. So it would make sense to be reborn as such.

All the Wonderland characters would remain themselves but have a horror makeover a la Alice Madness Return; Lizzie can rip her head off.

Daring and Dexter have their Beast form from Epic Winter/Twisted Tale. Darling instead became the Knight Chess Piece,and is glued to her horse.

Rosabella is also a beast like Andy Beast. Cerise and Ramona would become full werewolves like Clawdeen. Cedar becomes fully robotic like Robecca.

Hopper would become the Swamp Monster, with the body of an anthropomorphic frog. Sparrow instead would become a faun.

Duchess would be a harpy,since they are bird women. Ashlynn is a Dryad-type nymph instead. Blondie is a were-bear
