If you don't already know I 💖 Pinterest. I use it in my business with my clients, for my personal art projects, and for my personal life…it's a necessity for me really.
So, whilst scrolling through Pinterest yesterday, looking for juicy couples posing ideas, ones that bring my book boyfriends to life (more about that in another post). I came across an AI image of an alternate Alice in Wonderland ( the first image of the gallery) and it had me thinking about how much this version of Alice would change the story we all know to well.
Plot Development
Alice's Arrival:
Alice stumbles upon Wonderland and quickly realizes the power she can wield in this bizarre world. Unlike her original self, she sees the whimsical nature of Wonderland as an opportunity to exploit rather than enjoy. She begins to sow discord among the various inhabitants, turning them against the Queen and each other.
Manipulation and Deception:
Alice uses her cunning to deceive characters like the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, and the White Rabbit, each falling prey to her schemes in different ways. She convinces them that the Queen is the true tyrant, instigating rebellion.She plants seeds of doubt and fear, causing once peaceful places like the Tea Party to become sites of tension and mistrust.
The Corruption of Wonderland:
As Alice's dark influence grows, Wonderland itself starts to change. The vibrant, whimsical landscape becomes darker and more nightmarish, reflecting Alice’s corruption.Landmarks like the Mad Hatter’s tea party, the Queen’s garden, and the Tulgey Wood transform into twisted versions of their former selves, filled with traps and dangers.
