Low Effort Reigen Doodles To Combat My Lethargy

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

I love themmm ( pt. 1 | pt. 2)

what if agatha have green eyes instead of sophie?

Just a fun lil headcanon i can’t get it out of my head- its 2am time to word vomit.

because we love a character with black hair and green eyes, amirite? also cuz it be hot

soman keeps emphasizing agathas eyes being big n buggy- basically agathas defining feature. usually calls it ugly tho- but u kno- what if???

green color is usually associated with bad magic and villains, 

while i love sophie’s green eyes aesthetic, i think agatha having green eyes adds to agatha’s “witchy vibe”, why the people in gavaldon be calling her a witch, and Ever students be avoiding her.

The whole hating her eyes to learning to love n appreciate thing

applies to agatha AND tedros-

Agatha looks scary and the green eyes is just making it worse. they be calling her a witch- a freak. but then later in the books, she learned to appreciate it n stuff.

TEDROS THO- in the Welcoming (SGE school orientation)- when their eyes met, he thought her eyes looks so beautiful <33

during the i-dont-like-you-ur-weird phase, imagine tedros thinking how her eyes are just so enchanting and captivating- 

it also adds to agatha and sophies dynamic

Sophie would be jealous, in a way, cuz agatha have such pretty green eyes and sophie have just, plain dark brown (DISCLAIMER- BROWN/BLACK EYES ARE V PRETTY (i also have em) TIS JUST- IDK PLOT WISE-)

like dude- imagine when they found out theyre sisters, Vanessa would hate agatha even more cuz “How dare this child look so ugly but have such pretty eyes???”

(tw// implied gore??) idk y but the idea of sophie wanting to carve out agathas eyes  sounds cool,

Agatha a Slytherin???

in the OTK cover, you can see agatha dressed in green with snake theme goin on. 

come on, agatha with green eyes, wearing snake theme clothes.

Thats,, what all i have, thanks for putting up with the word vomit.

They completely missed the point of sophie's character

Sophie was an arrogant,selfish and a narcissistic person behind her sweet facade who didn't believe herself to be evil,who did terrible things including murder as her anger grew. movie sophie on the other hand? She's the "posessed victim" that the mainstream seems to be obsessed with these days

Making her an outcast with agatha was an odd choice,sophie didn't want to get away from a town who hated her,she was tired of her normal life and wanted to go the school of good because she thought that's what she deserves

She did good things (including being friends with agatha) just to change her school not because that she was a nice person,she discovered her evilness and powers on her own not because of rafal (who literally was supposed to remain in the bts and not let Sophie fail instead of brainwashing her) we as audience do know that she really is evil deep down and why rafal saw her potential despite her denial. The movie makes you wonder that what did rafal even see in her? She's a very sympathetic person in the film who goes through hell

She is a great friend towards aggy and only turned against her because of rafal's influence,the scene where she accuses agatha for stealing everything from her feels cheap because there is no build up;she was simply upset and seemed to forgive agatha while reading her letter,while in the book we saw how her jealousy grew over the time to the point she attacked everyone several times and killed all of the wolves and fairies but she barley hurts anyone in the movie,heck one of the first signs of her evilness is when she drowns the beast after he cuts her hair,but in the movie it was lady lesso for some reason and it only makes us feel sorry for sophie. Completely erasing it's meaning. A weak attempt to make her seem like a "bad bitch" in the aftermath when we were supposed to see her true colors

Sophie was such a complicated and complex character but they managed to remove her agency in her own story

i feel like being in a fandom long-term has a very specific repetitive cycle that kind of looks like this

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)
