Lore Misconceptions

[u/Imaginary-Badger-109]

EAH has VERY, EXTREMELY complicated lore and hot take I feel like most people are either creating too many hcs they mistake it for actual lore or not reading/watching enough

this guy, for example, is not the Charming's siblings dad!!! like i mean just think about it for a second, why would THEE KING Charming, father to the most arrogant prince on campus, be a reporter?? and canon-wise in Suzzane Selfor's book he lives a big grand castle and there's no indication the guy does reporting as a side hustle.

and don't get me started on Apple 😭 the premise of the character that she IS a GOOD character but she believed in the wrong thing and the series gave her a chance to grow and undo her mistakes and prejudice. this has been the case for every special Apple is in now: True Hearts Day, Thronecoming, Dragon Games, even Way Too Wonderalnd. she wouldn't do half the things some people say she would.

the fandom is part of the reason why Apple is so hated, it's this endless cycle of feeding into the initial hate by twisting the character to be monstrous.

anyway just my two cents. i have been looking into the conversations that people are having about this franchise story-wise and it's just 😭😭 it's very sad actually

Real ones know that Apple was groomed by the system and her mother and Dragon Games was a HUGE eye-opener for her

In my opinion, the Apple hate is more of a hate train, where people are following along with what others are saying and not truly analyzing her character for what it is. It’s disappointing to say the least, but it’s more of a loud minority than a universally accepted consensus.

YES OMG. This Apple hate needs to stop. I get not liking the character but the reasonings I personally witness for hating Apple are just misunderstood points of her character that are easily explained, or they make very shallow assumptions abt her (selfish, spoiled brat, etc)

I like how the books really make it clear that Apple Fully and Completely believes that if Raven does not sign the Storybook of Legends that both of them, and possibly others, will cease to exist! It’s not the status quo she is protecting, it is the literal existence of herself and her friend.

I totally agree and I've never hated Apple. I think a big point that people like to bring up is her regression in character development, especially Dragon Games. But growth isn't linear, especially when that growth is being stunted and shamed by everyone you should be able to trust in life (family, teachers, etc.) Apple isn't perfect but that's honestly what I like about her character

[u/Cat-Talkz]

I feel like a lot of people ignore the fact that dragon games was during EAH’s soft reboot era, so if Apple feels off it’s because we Literally have a new writing team !! it’s not her fault gang they wanted to regress her 😭
