Chapter 3: Bog Bash / Faybelle's Choice

This pair is the last of the Through the Woods storyline. What a bummer, I've had fun!

A grumpy forest troll threatens the girls’ ever after, but Poppy’s makeover skills just may save them. 

I think this is the first time in the series "A makeover!!!!!!" solves the problem. 

Blondie trips over an Imp disguised as a stump, who promises to take them to a party....but she's in leagues with Faybelle.

I felt like you needed to see that.

The imp takes them to...this dude. Bigglewoggle.

 Who his play on an old tape player that plays a damn funeral dirge, and curses them to stay for a hundred years because no one invites him to anything, so he stayed home and made his own Forest Fest, damn it!

In quite possibly her greatest moment in the series, Poppy says that he needs to act nicer if he wants to be invited anywhere, and to straighten up his appearance. Which is shallow, but this is a world of princesses. The real world is shallow too.

Poppy gives him a makeover -

Nice, but he's got nothing on Badwolf.

Poppy invites him to go in her place to the Forest Fest. After all, she was just going to be Blondie's personal handmaiden. 

And here is where all the goodwill i've eked up for her dissipated; "I would have let that Faybelle girl go if she wasn't so pushy about it."

Faybelle's magic curse as the Dark Fairy is that people's invitations to her get lost in the mail or simply don't make it to her. No wonder she's upset, her curse stops invitations from even coming in. I can hardly blame her for feeling excluded.

And Faybelle overhears this;

Again: No!!!!!!!!!

The group is off to the Forest Fest, and Faybelle sits on the Imp to contemplate her fate...

It's a very good message; adhere to social norms and people will like you. I'm being sarcastic, but being nice gets your further, and certainly being as neat as you can helps too. But to take the character that no one can invite instead of someone no one really wants to invite would have helped more.

Faybelle's Choice

Will this story end happily ever after when Faybelle admits her wicked scheme and tries to rescue the girls in the Dark Forest?

Almost done, guys.

The party of five are walking through the forest, surprise surprise.

There's stomping in the forest and the group runs.

In possibly the strangest sequence ever, with a karate yell, Faybelle flips out of the forest and onto the path to fight the chicken house. Because that's what it is, and she hits it with a log and it crashes to the ground. Either way, someone was going to get hurt, I notice.

Faybelle owns up to messing up the signs, but you should also fault these girls for not having a lick of common sense, really.

"You can't blame a girl for following her destiny...ruining people's fun is kind of my thing."

I like how .... just there Hunter and Apple are. Maybe the latter is happy that someone in this damn school wants their destiny.

Suddenly; the Fairy Queen! I do believe, just like legend, she's called Titiana. Who says that the Forest Fest would find them, and that everyone is invited.

Faybelle lingers on the outside until Ashlynn invites her in.

Another shout out to the lighting crew.

 "All this niceness is going to ruin my reputation....oh well, I can always be bad tomorrow."

Party people.

It's a lazy conclusion but Faybelle was included in something so that's nice.

Out of all the new characters, Faybelle is the only one who gets more prominent as the show continues, which I like.
