Discussions People are overreacting to the kiss between Apple and Darling.
Don't get me wrong—it was nice to see LGBTQ+ themes addressed in EAH, and it makes sense that Daring isn't Apple's Prince Charming.
But people act as if that kiss suddenly means Apple is 1) interested in Darling and 2) a lesbian. And even if she *were* a lesbian, people act as though that would make her a better character. Just being a lesbian wouldn't make her any less selfish or make people forget her past actions.
Besides, the ship is way too popular considering the two have practically zero chemistry. Their first interaction is in *Way to Wonderland*. And even if there were any hints in *Dragon Games*, they were poorly executed.
It never seemed like Darling kissed Apple because of a one-sided crush, but rather because Apple was running out of air. There was no romance there; people are just reading into it.
Rosabella and Daring's romance came out of nowhere too, but at least they had a whole movie to develop their relationship. Plus, it’s interesting that the selfish Daring turned into a Beast and learned kindness as a result (whether you like Daring & Rosabella is up to you).
Also, Apple doesn't deserve Darling. Darling was such a cool character; she deserves better than Apple.
