Questions/Q&A How does the destiny system work?

What happens after Ever After High? Do the students live out their destinies in the real world, or do they enter their stories physically like they did in Thronecoming? Some students have significant things happen to them in early childhood, and a good chunk of them have the most important parts of their destinies occur while they're highschool aged. This is something that I have always wondered, and I'm curious as to if anyone else has wondered the same thing.

We don't know, as we never saw a Destiny be officially reenacted.

We know only some key scenes and players are needed, but we don't know exactly how a story counts as being replayed, or a character as fulfilling their destiny.

It can't be just performing certain actions, as several characters have played their role, but it's never addressed as it "counting"

Examples: Meeshell is already living in the world of humans and can switch back an forth. Alistair already followed the White Rabbit into a new world he doesn't understand. Apple was already poisoned and awakened. Rosabella already helped a Beast to get rid of his curse. Blondie regularly breaks into the 3 bears house and steals their stuff.

It can't also be that they signed the Storybook of Legends, as people were signing a fake for about 20 years and no one noticed a difference.

Maybe that’s the point of the writers of the show, if characters have already fulfilled their destiny in a way that‘s not exact to how their supposed to, maybe it’s trying to say there’s no such thing as destiny. Or maybe it’s saying the opposite, we all have a destiny that will come to us no matter what

I feel like what I wrote doesn’t make much sense, but I only just woke up so forgive me
