Cupid's Diary: My first fanfiction

In lou of an actual topic, I figured I would "publish" a file that has been sitting in my computer for a long time. This file is called "cupid's diary" and chronicles Cupid's life and opinions, from her move to ever after high to commentating on EAH drama, the wonderful world of C.A. Cupid comes alive in this publishing. So no matter how bad or good this may be, enjoy.

This is a fictional writing from my perspective, as if I was Cupid. It is purely fan fiction, but the facts are true. I hope you enjoy it!


Dear Diary,                                May 30th 2013
I’m leaving monster high to go to a new school  called Ever After high. People are very mixed up in emotions about me being in this new line of dolls. I don’t see the big deal, I’m just a doll. I will be sad to leave monster high, but they can still see me at Ever After High, I’m still here. Besides, now my skin never fades black, and I don’t have rib cage wings, my hair is longer, my wings have feathers, and best of all, I can give my advice to more people and hopefully reach a broader audience. Thanks for listening,

Apparently, the link to my radio show is gone!!!!! They could at least left the link up!!!! I didn’t even get to say a big farewell to all of monster high. The whole thing about Ever After High is deciding if you are a royal or a rebel. According to the new EAH intro I am a rebel. So that means I don’t want to make love, right? It’s kind of confusing. I really just want to leave the toy industry for good. I hate letting people down. Thanks for Listening,

Cupid here, and I’m not loving this girl called Apple White who goes to Ever After high. She’s so full of herself! Her personality is like Cleo, except a bit less dramatic. Every time she talks to raven, she always mentions how she is such an important part of “ her story”. It’s not just Apple white’s story, It’s their story!!!!
Thanks for Listening,

I think  That Mattel  made me be in Ever After High because they thought that I wasn’t really a monster. Maybe they also received some phone calls from different customers saying they didn’t understand how I was a monster. But I follow the motto right? Be yourself . Be unique.  Be a monster.  Well, I certainly was unique. I guess Greek gods aren’t really monsters huh? Gotta go.

Maybe this new school has some nice girls in it that don’t care if they are a royal or a rebel. This girl named Madeline Hatter seems like just the girl I’m looking for. She is very funny and I love her hair! I really hope EAH goes like this...
Raven queen does not pledge to her destiny and then the rebels go into the real world and follow their dreams. But that is probably a really long way away.

I’m starting to think  I may not be a rebel after all. Maybe they just put me there in the intro to squeeze me in. On the other hand, I’m not so sure I want to be a rebel. I still want to be the lovebird I have always been. People have also seen the new Ever After High dolls and they say they use the same body molds as MH dolls. I’m glad about that because then I won’t look too different.
Thanks for listening,

The new ever after high dolls have just been released, and they actually look very human like. But I don’t really want to be an EAH student anymore, I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages here. I want to go back to MH so badly. I miss my old body, my old friends all of them. Even heath, who used to drive me crazy!!! I wonder what this doll of me will look like once it comes out. I just hope I am loved as much as I was at MH.    Thanks for Listening,

The new EAH dolls look so pretty! But they only come with these bookmark thing -a -ma- jigs. Why? Why? Why? These are supposed to be fairy tales!!!!!!! not bookmark thingys. Even the scary tales look better than them in terms of stories and books. They also come with stands and a purse. Sadly, no pet. Even though they mention pets in the webisodes. I can’t wait to see what I look like, I hope I look okay.
Thanks for listening,

Dear Diary,                         July 7th
I just saw on ever after high checklist that they will be coming out with the 4 dolls that we have right now (Raven,Maddie,Apple, and Briar)    and a 2pk including Hunter huntsman and Ashlyn Ella. Then they will have the legacy day dolls. It does not have any other doll lines listed on the checklist. So where am I ? and what other doll lines will they release?
I’m kind of confused right now.Why is the daughter of Cinderella’s name Ashlyn Ella?  where are these pets?
Thanks for listening, C.A. Cupid
Dear Diary,                       august 13th
Finally after a month they have me in a webisode! I’m actually pretty nice. I still don’t know if I’m a royal or a rebel. In the webisode I help “hopper” tell Briar he loves her without having him turn back into a frog. They also have me falling into Dexter charming’s arms at the end of the webisode. Dexter!?!?!?!? Dexter?! I thought from the first episode that raven liked Dexter. Or maybe they were really good friends and I jumped to conclusions.  I can’t wait to see my doll! Also, they actually mentioned monster high!
Thanks for listening, C.A. Cupid
Dear Diary,                                    September 9th 2013
They still haven’t come out with the hunter  huntsman and Ashlyn Ella 2 pack yet! They are so perfect for each other. I just saw the new legacy day dolls on Ever After High checklist and they look really good. But Briar looks a bit windswept and I think Apple’s crown is not Blingy enough.  Can you believe they released the legacy day dolls so soon? I still don’t see a upc code for the 2 pack, so that’s unfortunate. They still haven’t made me either. Am I even going to be a doll?
Thanks for listening,

Guess what? I now have a mirror blog on the Ever After High Website! I look stunning! I’ll start with my hair, I have my old twisted heart halo, But this time it has a arrow through it! How cute!!!! I still have long pink hair and bangs,same style as before. My eyes are bright blue with a pink eye shadow and instead of my lips being in the shape of a heart, they are normal lips with a pink heart made with lip gloss! I’ll go into the beautiful details of my wings and outfit next entry. Now, Maybe my doll will come out soon? Thanks for listening,

well,exciting news! Today I was looking around on google and I finally found a picture of the new 2 pack! They are so perfect for each other. I also think  that hunter may have real hair and not a hair mold! So cool. I also love how Ashlyn Ella looks exactly like she does in the webisodes.
Especially her dress. I also think this means that I will be released soon. so I hope we also get a legacy day Maddie. Thanks for listening,

Dear Diary,                           October 15th 2013
The new 2pk. is out! Yes, Ashlyn and Hunter are so perfect for each other! I have seen a picture, and they are holding hands in the box! Also, hunter has real hair, which I am very fond of. Usually, with the Monster High guys, their hair is actually just plastic. But only because they are monsters, so the hair needs to look a bit freakish. Also, Ashlyn has the cutest dress ever! I also love how cute they look together. I’m sorry about all the love-birding this entry, but I’m really excited, this line could  just make the cut.
Love,
C.A. Cupid

Anyways, the mirror blogs are being updated with new characters and posts. Also, Cerise and Blondie pictures are on the checklist!!! I can not wait, as they are super cool! There is also going to be a new line called getting fairest, which will be the pajama themed line. Although each doll will come with it’s own caddy!!! Okay, I just can not imagine economy line eah dolls. Also, There are already 2 play sets, but not yet released.
Thanks for listening,

Cerise and Blondie are at target!!!  I am in their wave to which is labeled wave 1.5. strange if you ask me. I have also realized that I may be on the fence. Meaning that i don’t think I’m a royal or a rebel. I love the new doll lines, as well as the 2 new play sets. This is going to be so nice. I just wonder where the other characters are. Daughter of Ariel, belle, Hansel and Gretel might be cute to.

I am officially out in stores! I am a rebel, as I thought previously. The pictures of  Cedar wood and Dexter charming were released, and it’s official, I am in love with Dexter,I guess what Raven did was just out of friendliness.Anyways, I think Ever after high is off to a great start. we already have 11 characters in dolls, and more to come in 2014!
Thanks for listening,
C.A. Cupid



Dear Diary,                       December 23rd,2013
So, there’s this new line of Ever After High dolls called “Getting Fairest”, which are similar to Monster high “Dead tired” except this is them getting ready for the day, all 4 basics are in the line, Raven,Maddie,Apple,and Briar, they all look super cute! 2 play sets also came out, a “fainting couch” for Apple white and a vanity for Raven queen. I love it, I hope more play sets come out!
Thanks for listening,

Happy new year! 2013 was great, and 2014 will be even more awesome! New year,new you! So with the new year, tons of new stuff is coming out. Not just in the little MH/EAH circle, but in bigger brands such as American Girl. It’s a new start for everything. 2013 went by so fast! Sometimes, I think we get caught up in dolls,social media,life,and we forget what we are truly doing. For me, this happens when I get near dexter, he’s just so cute!!!
Thanks for listening,
C.A.Cupid
Dear Diary,                              January 15th, 2014
There’s more characters coming to ever after high! I’m so excited, I love meeting new people. There’s Lizzie hearts, daughter of the Queen of hearts & the people who I’m most excited about POPPY & HOLLY O’HAIR!!! Their twin daughters of Rapunzel which I think is so awesome! Only thing is that only Holly has the Rapunzel destiny so Poppy has to choose whether to be a royal or a rebel. Plus Throne coming & SDCC exclusive Cerise!
Love,
C.A.Cupid


Dear Diary,                             January 22nd, 2014
Finally, a second doll! They made me a Throne coming doll! I am so pumped, the dress is beyond beautiful. Plus, there’s other girls in the line too! I’m also excited because of the other new lines coming out. For 1 there’s hat tastic, a line that puts the spotlight on Madeline hatter! She needs more spotlight as she is so funny!!! There’s also an EAH SDCC exclusive doll. It’s Cerise wolf! Yes, so now Cerise has decided to become daughter of the big bad wolf instead of little red riding hood. So excited!
Love,
C.A.Cupid

Dear Diary,                               
I think this may be one of my last entries for a while. Modeling for a full time doll is harder than it seems. Plus, if I kept writing, this “Diary” would become a full length novel. I have very much enjoyed writing this diary, & if anything drastic happens I will record the changes, but for now I feel this is the end. I am very sorry, but it’s my personal decision.
Love,

How exactly do I "bond" with a doll?

Allot of people sell one or all of their american girl dolls for one reason or another. But one of the less common reasons for selling the dolls is that "I just can't bond with them". I've experienced this feeling as well, especially with Emily,Marie-Grace even Kaya and Anna Clare. Here's how I overcame that feeling of "not bonding" with my dolls.


  1. Remember the reason you wanted and bought the doll
It may seem simple, but sometimes you need to remember how you came to owning the doll in the first place. You can then remember the reason that doll may be special to you. For example, my third doll was Lindsey, and I asked for her as a birthday gift because she was GOTY the same year I was born. In addition to this, also remember how excited you felt when opening them. 

    2. Try a new style
Sometimes all you need to do is put some new clothing on a doll. You could have her wear an outfit from her collection that doesn't get worn often, or even put her in something completely wild and crazy. A new style isn't limited to clothing, you could also try out different hairstyles.

   3. Look at how that doll fits in your collection
Which doll is it that your're not bonding over. Is it your first doll you've had for years or your eighth doll you purchased last week? In doing this, try to find something for the doll that makes her strengthen the family. For example, if you have a YouTube channel, you could give this doll a staring roll in a series. Even if you don't have a YouTube channel, have this doll be the main character in any stories you may be playing.

I hope these tips helped you bond with your doll. If you're still not bonding, it's now your choice on whether or not to keep or sell a doll.
