@bagel-emoji pointed out to me that Agatha's final outfit has her dressed like Tedros, w the belted tunic/waistcoat and loose sleeves,, just fell to my knees
I agree,, but im holding on to tedros calling agatha princess thing close to my heart alongside normal girl
No no u don't understand. Normal girl has layers. LAYERSSS. 'Normal girl' bc Agatha doesn't believe she's got a place in a fairytale world; normal is what she wants to be, and thinks she is-- but she's not and she can never really be normal again. 'Normal girl' is slightly self-loathing and self-deprecating, ('normal' meaning she thinks she's homely and out of place and uncomfortable) but she tries to disguise it as a good thing by making it seem like everyone else is the issue; it's hamfisted, and Not Like Other Girls, but she's like sixteen, she's allowed to be a bit cringe bc she's embarassed. 'Normal girl' bc Beatrix tried to use it as an insult and Agatha's perspective on it is wobbly, but Tedros turned it into something fond. 'Normal girl' bc she actually treats Tedros like he's a normal person and he's so surprised he remembers it (and then gets attached bc of it). 'Normal girl' that gets dropped the second he knows her name. 'Normal girl' tha-- (I am dragged away, a rolled up list of a thousand extra reasons unfurling on the floor behind me)
"sge character syndrome meaning their personality is barely existent" is the bEST THING IVE EVER IN YEARS OMFG HELP AHSHFBASFHAHAHAHAH
Random rotsg thoughts (no spoilers)
In the main series Rafal is always so wannabe edgy and mysterious and in rotsge he's just a mildly angsty teen and I love the difference
Also I love all the new teachers? There aren't many but i can definitely imagine some cool fanart of them
Also the students but they suffer from the sge character syndrome meaning their personality is barely existent 💀💀
But also the illustrations and cover slap so hard, even though I kinda miss the style of the older books
I'm also vibing with the different rules in the School, like it's interesting to see that it changed so much
But i guess it's got a sliver of lgbt representation so yay?

two of my irl friends thinks tedros is so bad- and its so hard to defend him TCY made him worse-
tedros is a misogynist pig and this fandom is tone death to how tagatha normalizes abusive relationships
i remember putting this on the back burner because i REALLY didn't want to piss people off but never mind op speak your truth.
in my own personal opinion, i wouldn't say they're ab//sive but there is toxicity in their relationship between books 4-6 that just got brushed over or handled completely incorrectly. i liked their relationship in the third book bc they actually learned how to properly communicate but forgot in book 4 and onwards. as much as i love tedros, he did not not unlearn his misogyny at all, it just shows up at the most random moments. like at one point he's like omg agatha my feminist queen my equal my not like other girls alt girlfriend! i'm so glad she doesn't suck up to me and tell me lies to make me feel good <3 and then came book six where he complained about the exact things he liked her for??? nah i'm just going to say this is soman's inconsistent writing and lack of thought in writing their relationship problems. like why completely subvert something established to make them argue when you could use their miscommunication problems to make them argue and then solve it?
i also didn't like how they just pretended the six month ignoring thing didn't happen because wtf that was just horrible to read and besides other characters joking about it, neither tedros nor agatha brought it up besides that mere apology in the celestium. and even after that they didn't properly communicate. like i really wanted to see them resolve their miscommunication problems and tendency to shut each other out and handle their problems on their own. but no, we brought back the sexism thing and made tedros a complete misogynist to develop his relationship like ?? what was the reason ??
i think there's more i could say but i haven't read/reread the books in a solid year so it's not fresh in my mind but yeah here's my take on it. i love them lots but these were pressing things i noticed in regards to op's post.

AAAAAAHHHH SHE"S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZINGGGG!!!
Not gonna give up just yet on this, her fit is too pretty
Was thinking abt Tedros's talent and why he never had one in the books (thank Kate for making me wonder abt this stuff) and...it would've been really funny if Tedros has a Talent but no one knows he does because it has nothing to do with fighting or swordplay or being the future of Camelot.
Like his Talent being something like proficiency with musical instruments or singing. Talking to birds or other small creatures. Growing plants. Tedros being a disney princess would've been his peak character trait and also hilarious.
also the way the fandom skipped over how kei literally drugged dot??? dot is such a tragic character in so many different ways
dot always gets the short end of the stick i swear
yeah that was so messed up i get he was probably ordered to but wtf. i like kei but that was so screwed up of him, why did he get close to dot and USE her like that oh my god. and the way dot was blamed and attacked by the coven and hort when she was DRUGGED by this boy who she thought genuinely liked her.
no but that’s so messed up, like yes we love kei but let’s not forget to hold him accountable for that pls
What are your thoughts about morgrifs? I think its very concerning considering the fact that half of the student body turns into animals and plants because- they failed their classes? they arent good/evil enough? The three fails- and your gone? you failed your classes and now your stuck either as a servant for the other school, or be a food or be a sidekick- THIS ARE LITERAL CHILDREN?!?!!? AND THEYRE STUCK LIKE THAT TILL THEY DIE??? WHAT?????
the mogrif system is beyond unethical and so unnecessary. it’s actually horrifying and gave me the creeps when i read the books. it’s too harsh of a punishment, like not everyone is going to get the hang of things and need practice so turning them into a plant or an animal FOREVER is so cruel and just shows that it’s a bad school. the good/evil enough thing is awful and i’m glad they addressed that in the circus of talents. no one is completely good or evil (not even agatha and sophie, i won’t accept they’re 100% good/evil). so why should they be punished for that?
i get the point was to make the books scary and give the fairytale world a dark edge but i’d accept it more if it was a punishment for something huge, not failing a regular lesson. and yeah, tracking is just terrible, the best of the best are leaders, the fortunate are sidekicks, and the unlucky ones get turned into plants or animals. LIKE YOU HAVE A REALLY HIGH CHANCE OF BEING A PLANT OR ANIMAL IT IS SCARY.
i can’t believe millicent was a deer, mona is a jellyfish, and brone is a tree like- it’s so weird the students we read about are now animals and plants?? it just feels like a terrible fate and it’s even sadder when you’re a reader who has no idea what is going on and have to adjust quickly even though everyone is incredibly biased against you :/
then u remember the lil teeny fact that arthur was coronated before he got to school for good and evil. I mean sure, he's prolly 16 at the time but- what stopped tedros? lololol
This is the most specific of nitpicks but like.... Tedros WAS king the entire time. Like all 6 books, not even just 4/5/6. the reason they say "the king is dead, long live the king" is bc the second the old king dies the heir immediately ascends to the throne. Camelot can't NOT have a King for 7 years, Tedros was absolutely King, he just wasn't coronated. honestly the more you think abt the entire Camelot thing the more it makes no sense. He should have had a lord protector or a council or smth to rule in his stead but he can't be a prince; they can call him a prince all they like but he's just not. He ceased to be a prince the second Arthur popped his clogs,,, coronations are just a formality rly
"I'll be king when I'm 16" babes you're king right this second did no one tell you that
is this the scene where agatha is crawling in the vents and ends up in the gallery of good and finds out about the mogrifs? that be hella cool
EVERYONE MOVE I'VE WAITED SINCE I WAS TEN FUCKING YEARS OLD AND NOW WE HAVE SET PICS I NEED SEDATING IMMEDIATELY
what i like about this, it shows how fcked up the school system really is. Not just millicent, but the other mogrified students too.
Like how fairies are put into school for good, and wolves for school for evil. Because they didn't fit the criteria. or rather- They were "too evil" to be good, and "too good" to be evil. It puts the kids with neutral alignment in a dangerous place.
On another note, I want this to be adressed with nicola. Will she fail and become a mogrif? will something change? is the mogrifying students going to end?
mogrifs is such a terrifying concept- considering they are literal KIDS who didn't know any better. KIDS.
why i care about millicent of maidenvale so much
idk why im making this post i just feel like there hasnt been much millicent content for a while and if im gonna have a tumblr blog dedicated to her i may as well create some
so. the thing about millicent is she barely has any canon content. shes the least fleshed out of the main evergirls, and all we really know about her at first glance is that shes a ginger. thats honestly why i started obsessing over her in the first place, because im a ginger as well and ive always felt a kind of joking solidarity with ginger characters (until it kinda… stopped being a joke uh oh). but throughout the series we learn bits and pieces about her, such as:
- she is never paired with a prince and in fact never expresses interest in boys, at the wish fish pond when everyone sees a picture of the boy they like, she sees nothing, which is attributed to a “foggy mind”
- she is described as “obtuse” and ends as the lowest-ranked student in the school for good, despite reena and beatrix trying to help her raise her grade
- her defining trait seems to be how much she cares about her friends (her yearbook quote is “sisters before misters” which is probably lighthearted but i think it’s telling)
and i know that these details were probably just thrown in randomly by soman, because he barely gives his main characters consistent characterization let alone his background characters. but to me all of these random pieces paint a really interesting picture.
millicent, in these ways, is the opposite of what a student at the school for good is expected to be. sure she’s conventionally pretty and cares about her appearance and seems to be just like everyone else, but there are also a lot of ways she’s different. she has no interest in princes and doesn’t develop an interest at any point in the series. she prioritizes sisterhood and friendship in an environment that is inherently competitive. and she fails all of the school’s lessons despite apparently working really hard to pass. i personally headcanon that she failed the snow ball because she didn’t find a date.
when you start dissecting everything we know about millicent, you get the sense that it’s not that she doesn’t belong in the school for good, it’s that the school for good is not structured to accommodate for her. we know that her problem is not her being lazy, because beatrix said she worked really hard to raise her grades, it’s just that in the end she couldn’t grasp the information. we know that her problem is not her being cowardly, because she ends up sacrificing her life in battle to save her peers, which is just about as brave as you can get.
and i think that this tells a really interesting story about a character who is not supported by their school system. the school for good is shown to be a place that is not very accepting of different types of people, as shown by how agatha is treated. but i think millicent is a much more subtle example of this. she failed school not because of her character but because of factors out of her control. and i think it can be up for fanon interpretation what these factors are. could this somehow be a commentary on the way real-life schools don’t accommodate for differences, mental physical social etc, among their students? im not sure soman intended it that way but it does add another layer to what we know about the schools in the books.
either way millicent means a lot to me because even though she doesn’t stand out as much as agatha, so much of her character exists in defiance to the person she is expected to be and, presumably, the person she was raised to be (as a princess). in the end, she sacrifices herself to save her friends, and we know her friends have been the most important part of her life this whole time. she does not sacrifice her sense of sisterhood at any point in the series, and although she struggles a lot, there’s something so heartwarming about her maintaining her values the whole time.
in conclusion millicent is a perfect character 2 me and i wantd to tell you why
SOPHIE, The Greatest Showman!
This is SGE x The Greatest Showman AU that my tired 4am brain came up with.
Note: I'm merely basing this on the songs. The plot of the musical is irrelevant to this AU. please keep that in mind.
also try listening on this order and vibe with me.
.
Book 1. Sophie/Tedros.
.
The Other Side & A Million Dreams
This is the start of sophie and agatha's friendship. Sophie convinces agatha to come with her to SGE. Imagine the lake scene, yeah that.
.
Come Alive
Sophie arrived at School for Evil, and met her classmates. After the classes and the tests, sophie became an inspiration. Insert "Lunchtime with Sophie".
.
Never Enough & Rewrite the Stars
Sophie and Tedros- their love story basically. Imagine sophie as zac efron and tedros as zendaya (not literally, u kno what i mean). Imagine sophie singing never enough to tedros in front of everyone like the diva that she is.
.
Tightrope & This is Me
Tightrope is Agatha's song. It practically embodies her come on man. and This is me is DOT's SONG YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.
.
The Greatest Show
This is the Never's entrance in Circus of Talents. just iMAGINE- THE CHANT- THE BASS- SOPHIE'S ENTRANCE!! NEVERS ARE HAVING FUN AND DANCING! IT'LL BE AMAZING!!!
.
From Now On
idk uhhhh sophie becoming agatha's friend again? sophie's self reflect? idk- think whatever you want with this-
.
thats it, go listen to the musical in this order, you'll understand where i'm getting at, and its fun.
Callis and Agatha
We start with stars in our eyes. We start believing that we belong. but every sun doesn't rise, and no one tells you where you went wrong. - Waving through a window, Dear Evan Hansen.
I was just vibing then I heard this line and remembered that scene in TLEA where child!agatha smiled at stefan.
We already had the idea that agatha grew up with no friends, or worse got bullied. But thinking about it still hurts. Just sweet little agatha going up to someone asking to be their friend- only to be rejected. It hurts man, it really hurts.
.
Imagine Callis tho, whats her reaction? her thoughts?
"and i knew i'd come up short a million different ways, and i did, and i do, and i will" - So big/so small, Dear Evan Hansen.
This song. (minus the divorce part) makes me think of callis and her raising agatha. Imagine callis waiting for agatha to get home, expecting a happy, energetic kid babbling on about the bug she found on the way home, instead sees a really sad agatha covered in bruises and dirt.
.
This is so sad- they deserve better, thEY DESERVE BETTER!!
I'm sad and disappointed that nothing actually happened about the morgrifs. Book 1 made a point- made it such a big thing, and yet its just thrown aside. I'm also very disappointed that agatha stopped? like sis- please help them.
SGE AUs
DID SOMEONE SAY PIRATE AU??? weLL BOY I HAVE SOME PIRATE AGATHA SKETCH FOR YALL
hot damn, a queen. we stan. She hab choppy hair, she cut it so it wouldnt bother her much and it somehow looks great on her.
ANOTHER ONE: Actor AU
Sophie can NOT, for the life of her, ACT. but her looks what made her big. Agatha was forced (she cool w/ it tho, has consent >:[[) to become sophie’s assistant. Tedros is an award winning actor, he great :33
Something happened which caused shortage of cast and immediately need of replacement (cuz no more time for auditions). Agatha was chosen cuz she fits the character. and she did GREAT. which kinda funny cuz--sophie cant act
I got this idea/concept from @pumpkinpaperweight ‘s fic ideas. (tho i didnt read the full post, sorry). They mentioned pirate agatha, and celeb au. :DD
Dont mess with agatha
Just a quick sketch, the gargoyle scene in book one, but modern au
Softball! The Coven
more sketches for sge!modern au, where the coven are softball players.
disclaimer: im not a softball player, i dont know anything bout softball, softball does not exist in my country :’00
BONUS SKETCH!!! Tagatha chillin in a rooftop uwu
I TRIED IM SORRY BUT LIKE---
Extremely specific character appearance headcanons
I’ve done stuff like this before but this is REALLY specific and also updated. kate compensates for her lack of artistic talent. again.
agatha
very angular– sharp chin, long and pointy nose
long, bony limbs and hands, v tall but she slouches and has terrible posture.
flat and pretty much completely lacks curves
I think this is canon but very flat, inexpressive eyebrows. same for her mouth
her eyes are a little uneven, but they’re protuberant and she has a slightly angry resting face as a result of that (and her eyebrows). her irises are so dark brown they’re nearly black.
lots of moles and birthmarks
I always imagined her hair as shorter than a bob but I know most people don’t agree with me lmao
not an appearance thing but I always thought she’d have quite a deep voice
bites her nails
her smile crinkles her eyes and makes her look a lot more approachable hence why everyone’s like “omg”
teeth are a bit crooked
she’s got a weird charm about her though, like she’s very striking
looks good in red, black, white and dark blue
looks ill in yellow, doesn’t like green apart from very dark shades,
tedros
he’s very broad-shouldered and looks very solid and sturdy
yes, he has thick curly hair it’s CANON
it gets bleached in the summer and lightens a shade, usually it’s gold-blond but it leans towards white-blond if he’s out in the sun enough
obvs he’s got a chiselled face and jaw, but his nose has been broken in training before so it’s crooked. he hates it.
a little bit acne-prone
very full mouth and big, earnest eyes and quite heavy eyebrows, but they’re a little bit arched
it makes him have a very approachable resting face, unlike agatha’s lmao
only smiles with teeth when he’s faking it (which, initially, was all the time) because he doesn’t like how his genuine closed-mouth smile looks much (it makes him look squishy n he hates it, agatha thinks it’s great)
bites the insides of his cheeks a bit bc it’s a stress thing that’s easy to hide
has lil freckles on his nose and cheeks
once he’s older he grows a beard bc he thinks it makes him look ~mature and responsible~ (it does, actually, but it doesn’t mean Agatha doesn’t make fun for a little bit first)
Sophie
her hair is very fine and light, (white blonde where tedros’s is gold) but it’s REALLY long, so she can do whatever with it (and kinda needs to, you’re doomed if you’re trying to run through the woods with waist-length or longer princess hair. put that shit in a braid)
she tries to pretend it’s naturally curly but it’s not, if you catch her early enough in the morning she’s still got curlers in
short and curvy, it plays up the contrast between her and Agatha a lot
she’s got a really cherub-like face, round and really sweet, with like, very full lips and a little nose and stuff. no wonder everyone thought she was good. looks like a baby angel.
her eyes are a little bit catlike, kinda sly, don’t really fit w her face which makes sense lmao
has her nails super-long and painted, like talons. so she can tap them on things and sound scary and if she was ever inclined to, she’d probably poison them like that lady in Holes
dyes her eyebrows bc if she didn’t they wouldn’t be visible, and she can’t have THAT
when she was little her ears stuck out a bit and she HATED IT, she grew into it and it’s not noticeable anymore but she aims a hit at Agatha any time Agatha tries to bring it up
she’s got a chipped front tooth from when she fell over on graves hill one time, she claims it gives her character even though agatha insists it’s not even noticeable
OT3
What did you say? They’re sisters?!?!? Not in this household. I’ve disregarded the thought as soon as i read it.
OT3 is superior. i cant believe yall be sleeping on it!! Do you know how powerful the three of them would be?!!! and less putting up with sophie’s bullshit?
Never mess with Sophie.
Everyone loves Agatha
Camelot’s King and Queens
Thank you for listening to my ted talk.
yeEahYUH
More modern sge au concepts >:DDDDDD
Agatha friends with the others before the glow-up. (im a lil biased but-) THEY FRIENDS! YOU CAN ONLY TRY AND PRY THIS HEADCANON FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!
