darling charming <3

my favorite sapphics <3

Woe I'm banning you from angst until you give me the charming sibling fluff I ask for >:< (this is all in good fun anons don't attack me plz)

yes poppy thank you <333 i needed this

- when they were younger, daring took his role of older brother very seriously and swore to protect them through everything

- their parents made a shitty comment about darling wearing a suit to a school dance, so dexter and daring went in ballgowns

- daring helps style and dye darling’s hair and dexter helps with her makeup because darling is honestly so bad at doing it herself

- they do face masks together and have movie nights

- they tell each other everything

- dexter and daring were originally supposed to be roommates, but they both decided that it would be better for each other and their sanity if they weren’t

- when daring gets arrested, darling and dexter cover for him while they use their father’s money to bail him out

- they can communicate through faces at each other

- darling and daring keep spares of dexter’s glasses because he’s always losing them, while dexter ans darling have an extra of one of daring’s mirrors and daring and dexter have small knives for darling

- they have matching armour and look absolutely badass in it

Wlw whenever you get the chance, we just, need, wholesome charming sibling headcanons. I need it. The fandom always puts daring and dexter/argent and just, we need wholesome

YOUVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. *opens my jacket like a dealer* would you like some soft/kind of angsty charming siblings headcanons?

tw // ed

- when daring started recovering from his ed, darling and dexter would stay with him until he fell asleep

- darling was really scared to tell their parents that she was snow white’s princess charming but dare and dex were with her the whole time and made sure that angelique and dashing didn’t pull anything

- the three of them have movie nights and every time daring gets jump scared by whatever movie it is and throws his popcorn. he somehow got jumpscared during frozen.

- when they play videogames, darling always wins. especially mariokart. dexter has tried hacking the game to win in his favour but somehow it made darling win even quicker. daring is so in last place, that darling passes by him.

- they don’t sleep very well so when they’re all awake past 12 am, they go out and drink on the roof and talk about life and stuff

- when one of them is in a really bad spot, they stay with each other until they pass out.

- darling was extremely scared when she was at prep school because she was so used to having her brothers around and it was hard to live without them. they facetimed practically every day

- they do facials/spa days together. this entails all three of them doing mud masks, painting their nails and watching a cheesy sitcom while they drink and talk shit. these usually happen after one of them has an altercation with their parents.

- when lance started going at daring for his ed, darling and dexter *almost* killed him. they had plans and weapons ready but dare told them that he was fine. (he wasn’t but they backed off. they did however threaten lance and told him that if he ever said anything about daring again they’d kill him)

- daring and darling were dexter’s wingmen to ask out raven (she was confused as to why daring and darling were dressed like the fbi and standing around dexter like bodyguards but again. this was daring and darling)

- darling was a lil nervous to ask out apple after the whole “waking up your brother’s girlfriend and getting his destiny and also getting your happily ever after” thing, but daring and dexter (with some help from briar and ashlynn) set up a whole picnic in the woods and helped darling ask out apple. (she obviously said yes)

- they all know each other’s starbucks order by heart. (daring: iced peach green tea ; dexter: iced salted caramel mocha ; darling: iced americano)

- they’re all shit at board games but whenever they play, it gets violent. dexter cheats, darling tries to stab people and daring flips the table. it is not fun, yet they convince themselves that they can play board games together without fighting every time.

- darling hates her hair because it’s one of angelique’s favourite part about her. she has their grand-mère’s natural platinum hair. one day darling decides “fuck it, i hate this” and enlists daring and dexter to help her dye her hair pastel blue. angelique never let her dye it before (those pink and blue strips were temporary) and she was sick of letting their mother win. daring is shit at dying hair, and dexter is slightly better but not by much. they end up facetiming raven and she walks them through it.

- daring, dexter and darling all have matching sets of armour. they don’t use them but they all have a set.

- when darling was sent to prep school, daring gave her his favourite sword, dexter gave her his favourite book and she gave them each a half of her favourite hairpin. to this day they all still have those items.

darling n daring moment :] i’m sad her and her brothers didn’t get many scenes together, they’re such a cute family

Darling, struggling to keep upright in 1 inch heels: Uh, yeah, no, I don't think heels are for me.

Daring, drinking a Frappuchino and strutting flawlessly in sparkly 8 inch heels: WEAK

hey pals, i actually REALLY don't like the dragon games lineup

like... this is just so random. it doesn't fit. i don't like this. if ever after high didn't solely exist to market dolls, these are the students that i can see playing in the dragon games. but first, i wanna start with an explanation of why i'm removing who i'm removing from the lineup

the wonderlandians: i'm gonna be so fr, if scott morrison came to my hs and was like "yo guys i'm starting a basketball team" i am NOT joining that shit. and bro wasn't even incarcerated for poisoning the other country i have citizenship in OR idk stealing some other lady's job. he's just a prime minister that i don't really like. and i'm not a refugee. the wonderlandians on the other hand... yikes. they would NOT have played dragonball with the evil queen

the o'hair twins: now first of all, holly has expressed nothing but wanting to follow her destiny, which very much includes damselling and distressing. plus that hair is a fire hazard ;-; as for poppy, when i first watched dragon games i deadass thought that the twins ONLY got armour because they were just modelling what everyone else would get, and they wouldn't take part. especially because i think she'd be more concerned with maintaining the integrity of the armour and doing routine checks just making sure that a piece of equipment wouldn't become faulty and responsible for one of her friends or classmates getting injured

melody piper: what do you MEAN that this girl isn't emceeing the event?? she was born for that

who would actually play:

raven queen, for the exact reasons in the show

apple white, but only because the evil queen blackmails her

now, an argument could be made against darling charming, since she'd been working so hard before this point to maintain the whole "damsel in distress" thing she had going on since her parents were legacy book-thumping royals, however i think she would've been able to make the case to them "well daring is gonna marry apple one day so i think it's good for me to start getting along with snow white now since she's his future mother in law", plus everyone practically worships snow white

daring charming. bro has a DRAGON RIDING LICENSE. yet he wasn't on the field lmao

cerise hood. girlie is canonically a jock. she would live for dragon games. all she'd need to do is pin her hood to her hairline and she'd be fine

briar beauty because she's literally an adrenaline junkie. it's honestly more surprising that she WASN'T the first one to sign up. like make it make sense

i can see jillian beanstalk also joining since she's got that big ol sense of adventure

now, last spot is a bit of a tossup. i could probably see hopper croakington joining just to try to impress briar, or sparrow because it's "rock 'n roll". i'm leaning towards hopper slightly more since sparrow's whole thing is "i look out for the number one: me" or whatever and he's probably more afraid of dying than like. looking cool. especially because i actually don't think he does any hero classes or anything (just going off memory)

🗡️Darling Charming is No damsel in distress🩵

Happily Ever After 💐

WIP that hopefully I’ll finish soon 💐

princesses and knights have my heart, always

~

(Based on La Belle Dame Sans Merci (if Frank Dicksee sucked ass at drawing horses))

Ever After High brain rot meets King Arthur brain rot meets Romeo and Juliet (1996) meets 'i needed to practice backgrounds so there is a wall and a field'. Yeah, i do have finals to study for.

good evening to everyone but Mattel for cancelling ever after high before making these two canon

Me but with my Nagisa and Honoka dolls that finally came in the mail a few days ago

doing the lords work (making my apple and darling dolls make out)

The most effective thing about Ever After High is that every student has their own personal struggle that adds another element to just how life-ruining the destiny system is.

Apple is so terrified of what will happen to her if she doesn’t follow her destiny, that she is willing to compromise everyone else’s happiness to make sure it happens. This disregard for other people is only encouraged by the influential adults in her life.

Ashlynn has to be a servant to an abusive family and live knowing that the ultimate end to her supposedly happy ending is dying to set the stage for her daughters traumatic backstory, starting the whole cycle over again with no chance for any of them to escape.

Blondie feels so pressured to fit in to a deeply classist/monarchist society and ashamed of her parentage that she constantly presents a fake version of herself to everyone she knows, even her best friends.

Briar has to spend her whole life waiting for the moment her destiny comes and she falls asleep for a century. She knows that when she’s woken up, she will be forced to marry a boy dozens of years younger than her who she’s never met and live knowing that everyone she ever loved is dead and gone, the very things that she watched cause her mother’s emotional breakdown.

Cedar’s father was so afraid of watching her repeat his mistakes that he overcorrected, making it impossible for her to ever learn lessons for herself. She is also forced to share incredibly personal details with anyone who asks her questions, and can’t be trusted by her friends with any of their secrets, and it’s all because of her father’s past trauma.

Cerise has to hide who she truly is and never gets to see her family together and happy despite the fact that her parents have potentially the most healthy and mutually beneficial marriage in the whole franchise.

Daring was groomed from birth for a destiny that ends up not actually being his at all, leaving him aimless, feeling as though he has no purpose and has wasted his entire life.

Darling is forbidden by patriarchy and destiny to become a knight, the only thing she really wants, and at which she would be better than both of her brothers. She has to hide who she is and what she loves from everyone she knows

Dexter lived his whole life never knowing what his destiny would be but also knowing that whatever it was he’d have to commit to it forever the moment he discovered it at Legacy Day.

Duchess has spent her whole life knowing that the story she’s commited to living out ends in tragedy for her, and then had to watch the very people she’s been jealous of for years because of their seemingly happy endings give up those endings, while Duchess, loyal and rule following Duchess, is still stuck with her tragedy.

Faybelle tries so hard to commit to what she sees at her destiny that she’s never had a real friend in her life. Even still, no one recognizes her for all that effort and all she’s given up to be a suitable villain. Everyone is more afraid of Raven, who doesn’t even want to be evil.

Hunter has to constantly go against his moral compass to fulfill his destined role as a Huntsman and to try and make his father proud of him.

Kitty has been taught over and over again to value her Mother’s approval over all else, even at the expense of her friends. Her destiny is to create mischief, but how much more mischief can a dissolving world take before it’s too much?

Lizzie finds it almost impossible to express love or care for anyone else due to her mothers excessive conditioning that’s nearly akin to brainwashing. The saddest thing might be that her mother is actually, in her own way, trying her best to prepare Lizzie for a world that will only ever see her one way—as a villain. Now she lives in Ever After, princess to a kingdom that might not even exist for much longer, having given up everything for a destiny that may soon be impossible.

Maddie is a refugee forced from her home into a world she barely understands at a tender age. But she cannot express any angst or negative feelings about this circumstance, because to do so would go against her character. She lives in a world obsessed with destiny and stories while not even knowing if she’ll ever be able to return home and live out her story.

Raven is judged by almost everyone around her for her mothers crimes, many of which were required of her by destiny in the first place. She is nearly forced to commit to becoming a tyrannical megalomaniac (and almost falls into it herself, several times) who would be sentenced to lifelong punishment and torture for committing acts that weren’t even her idea in the first place, and the one punishing her would have been the very girl who begged so often for her to stop being so difficult and just follow her destiny.
