I've been thinking about this and I genuinely don't understand it, I'm sure this things were never explained but maybe some fo you have a theory that for me at least is a good headcanon.
- What is the purpose of following your destiny in the first place?
Setting the Royals vs. Rebels conflict aside, why does following your story even matter? We know that "going poof" turned out to be false. So are there any real consequences if someone doesn't follow their destiny? Does the world change, does the magic fail, do people forget the original story in their fairy world or some shenanigans that changes the stories for the readers IRL? Or is it just tradition?
- What does Raven ripping the Storybook of Legends actually mean for the stories?
In Dragon Games, Raven tears up the Storybook and the pages go into every student so everyone is free to choose. But what does that mean in practice? What happens to the stories themselves, and are there any consequences?
For example, take Ramona Badwolf. She's supposed to be the Big Bad Wolf, but let's say she's a Rebel. She doesn't want to get involved with the huntsman, and she doesn't feel like eating her own grandmother, she just goes and does her own thing. Now let's say Cerise wanted to follow her destiny (I know she's also a Rebel, but just hypothetically). How does the story go then? Is it just a girl walking from her mom's house to her grandma's house and staying the night? There's no conflict and nothing happens.
And what does that mean for the future? If nothing happens, and enough people choose not to follow their stories, what happens to those stories and to the next generation, can they just keep diluting the stories forever or just stop?
