What I mean: Raven Queen should have been the one to wake up Apple White in Dragon Games. Although Apple’s prince being Darling was a good twist and did it’s job at shaking Daring’s faith in his story, it didn’t fit as well as it could have when considering the events of Dragon Games, and the story as a whole. Ever After High is about Raven and Apple, and their opposing ideologies conflicting with their deep love for each other. This is mirrored (haha pun) by the narrators, who are a married couple. Raven being Apple’s true love would have been an excellent bookend (haha pun take 2) to their relationship. This is furthered by Apple and Raven being the ones to defeat the evil Queen. Additionally—
thinking about how raven always forgave apple. thinking about how raven was so heartbroken when she found out apple was the one who released her mother from the mirror. how apple is so scared and raven knows and understands because she's scared too. how apple bites and snarls at raven and raven just lets her do it with a smile, knowing apple thinks it's her fault she's in pain. how raven thinks it's her fault she's in pain. how apple will bite every time with a false smile and raven knows this. raven loves apple and will spend her livelihood repenting for hurting her.
