As LambCat said that the basic of the CPC is gives new insight of stories, like what if curses in the fairy tales not that easily broken - this essentially tells that the stories is integral part of this series. From the order of my memory, let's see:
When Pastel Princesses meet the Plaid Princes for the first time, one of the question that asked is "What's your favorite fairy tales?" - which we get the answer that Blaine loves stories about "Dragons and Treasures" (but he deemed that as too childish now), while Lorena shown the interest to the Grimm versions which including the gore of "Cinderella"
Jamie's Wake, could be similar to tales that involving slumbering Princesses (like "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White") to be waken up by true love's kiss - but since poisoned apple is involved, it fits the latter
Abbi's curse IMHO similar with "Pandora's Box", that shouldn't be opened or the calamities will spread over the world... That cursed box in Abbi's case turn out to only inflicted her - but there's tale that more similar to her situation but I can't find it
During slumber party, we learn more about CPC members including Syrah who cursed with "Pinocchio" so every time she lie-her nose grows longer. Along with it, Thermidora often singing 'Under the Sea' is referencing "The Little mermaid"
With how often Frederick thinking that Gwendolyn is a witch (or goblin if we take it in FB source) in the early part of the story, I can't help to correlating with "Harry Potter : Hogwarts" - say whatever you what espc about JKR, I don't care - I am enjoying those stories so much and not caring what anyone say [espc if banning to stop enjoy it- I can't!]
Special shout out for the Amusement Park sub-plot, Blaine & Maria drawn in typical 90's Shoujou manga can't stop amuse me - "Sailor Moon"?
Ep30 where Jamie shown to wear outfit that's not revealing remind me of some classical stories but I can't recall what - I just want to tell that's outfit rivalling the ones that Moslem and other religious women wear. So, personally I am not surprised to the appearance of that oufit, that closed
This point dedicates purely to Frederick. There are three books acknowledged by Frederick as his favorites - the fairytale about a man trapped in a hole and "the angel of the fortune", the Tiniest Prince (changed to the Little Prawnce in the physical book) or "Little Prince" IRL, and the Dogyssey.Each of them reflect his arc in a different way: The fairytale depicts his initial vision for how he'd get out of his own hole, a younger Frederick finding the story comforting. Later in his development, Frederick notes that maybe he's been 'reading the fairytale the wrong way' this whole time, as he comes to a certain revelation. The Tiniest Prince/the Little Prawnce is a reference to the real life book, The Little Prince. There's a chock full of symbolism that can be drawn from the parallels with Frederick and the Little Prince. See: the bonus shorts, and everytime Frederick thinks about it. In Episode 145 he even admitting himself as 'the tiniest prince' because his small stature enabling him to slip past the prison bars as he pulled upward by Laverne.The Dogyssey is a reference to another real book named The Odyssey by Homer. This is a story of Frederick realizing what he actually wants. And now that he knows what he wants to do, he has to fight for it - the monsters of the Dogyssey representing the obstacles he meets along the way to reaches his angel of the fortune (Similar to how Odysseus's adventure, where he had to face several obstacles to go back to his homeland where his loved ones there, Ithaca).
Renée's and her sister curse is referencing "Diamond and Toads" - unsure what Aurelia is, along with Monika-Jolie-Nell-Safron as well
During bonus episodes, we got treats from LambCat by the reference of "Red Riding Hood", "Jack and the Beanstalk", and "Hansel and Gretel" - Frederick's not mentioned because already told in 2 points above
When Whitney come back in the story as redeemed person, many readers compares him to Zuko of Fire Nation from "Avatar: The Last Airbender"
Also, Whitney's brother Greyden mentioning "101 Dalmations" indirectly
When Jack's backstory is revealed, we could think about various "Magical artefacts" at once like magic lamp of "Aladdin"
The Pastel Siblings gala outfit are referencing multiple stories at once; "Cinderella" (Gwen), "Thumbellina" (Lorena) and "Swan Lake" (Maria) - which the latter outfit also seen as "The Ugly Duckling"
Lilyth (Leelathae) origin that related to "Melusine", three-tailed mermaid
The costume change makes Maria and Blaine wear outfit that referencing same story, "The Phantom of the Opera" IRL
Maybe unrelated but it worth mentioning that ep 121 has characters cameo of various webtoons - but as realistically there's no internet and gadget to consume webtoon in CPC world + one time only appearance..
Does "Jack-O-Lantern", Jackie's gala outfit is a story too?
Gala outfits of the families; Jolie's sheeps, Syrah's "Beauty and the Beast" cursed furnitures-items, Saffron's "Snow White & 7 Dwarves"
Monika and Orson's gala outfit is homage for IRL "Knights of the Round Table"
"Alice in Wonderland" element appear by various character at different time, first Tori as "The Rabbit" - second, Prez as "Mad Hatter" - Whitney as "The Chesire Cat {?} - Monika as Dormouse [?] - Gwen as Humpty Dumpty - third, Thermidora and Syrah as "Tweedle Dee and Dum"
In Leland's collection, there's: "Medea" (Greek) and "The 3 Little Pigs and the big bad wolf",
Gwen's dream related to "Peter Pan", "Velvesteen Rabbit" and "the Gingerbread man"
When the background princesses' name is revealed, "Deaneira" is reference to Greek tale with same title - while Sally to HC Andersen's "The Princess and the Pea"
Maria mention of 'tale of romance and adventure' could be reference to many things, but the prominent one is "Rapunzel" - in early story of CPC, the magazine has ads of Rapunzel hair extension IIRC
Isolde's quote is from Shakespear's "King Lear"
Frederick want consent to kiss Gwen could be seen as countering the original version of the slumbering Princesses tales especially Sleeping Beauty, because, really sorry to say this - the princess actually got raped and the pain of bearing child of a twin is the reason she actually wake up
Leland getting mad over his own troop being 'slow' by related them to "Goldilocks" - Aurelia's parents, her mother and Ronald wear Goldilocks-themed outfit during the gala
It's actually a game, but game has story too - the entrance of CPC members to the Pastel Palace referencing "Super Mario"
Is there a chapter 166 for cursed princess club? The final episode is when they barge into the palace with a carage

Hiya everyone!! In case you haven't seen yet, we have a Discord now! You can join us here :D
Arcs in a series is important to refers a couple or chains of episodes/chapters about one topic, and the name of arcs could be official (as the creator the one that decides it) while sometime it could be inofficial (which the case for CPC imho). A Tumblr post about 'best arc poll' (https://at.tumblr.com/frikijedai/whats-your-favorite-cpc-arc-lances-birthday/4ifo10ovhz43) make me want to propose idea of CPC arcs name as the following :
The Introductions -> Pastel meets Plaid, Gwen meets CPC and initiate to CPC, and the stories of Abbi (Abbi's wish) and Frederick (Prince Frederick)
> The Book volume 1, means it starts from episode 1 [The King Returns] to Episode 34 [Prince Frederick (part 2)]
The Lessons -> Gwen telling CPC that she wants to be 'beautiful' so CPC members (Prez,Jolie, Saffron etc) gives lessons to how become beautiful, then in one of the lesson day which is Jolie's - the Plaid princes try to give serenade which the Pastel families invited to Lance's birthday birthday party
> The Book volume 2 early part - episode 35 [Great to be Back] to episode 44 [Freshly Baked Brownies]
Lance's birthday's party -> Pastel princesses dresses in the Plaid and have more intimate interactions with their fiances, also Suzie and Leo introduction
> The Book volume 2 middle part - episode 45 [Dressed Up in Plaid] to episode 54 [Party's Over]
Prez' curse reveal-> The reveal of who's the mysterious person that giving secret notes to Gwen, that ended with Prez revealed what's her curse after Aurelia tricked Gwen to come to the barn
> The Book volume 2 last part - episode 55 [Meet Me at Midnight] to episode 61 [Hello again]
The Potrait Showdown->a proper arc with following event summary: Leopold asked to make potrait of Gwendolyn, Frederick finally realized what he want with the help of a mysterious wanderer named Whitney - to reach Gwen in the Pastel palace but then later on he pushed to duelling Leopold in art duel
> No book confirmantion yet - but episode 62 [Princesses Not Prisoners] to episode 77 [Gwen's Potrait]
CPC intruder(s)-> proper description no needed ig, and it's legit proper arc as well > starts from episode 78 [A Cloudy Morning] to episode 92 [An End to the Evening]
Gwen's Dinner Party-> same as above and shameless plug, personally my favorite arc as it have everything imho which are ; 'comedy, friendships, romance, suspense, mystery' - CPC, Pastel, Plaid interacting each other and suspense with tantalizing Gwen's desserts + including the preparations
> episode 93 [What about Jamie?] to episode 105 [Portraits (part 2)]
Leopold + Jamie's art exhibition and it's after-effects-> IK it's an arc title that has words too long, and in reality their art exhibition actually only spans for 2 episodes, but the after-effect due to Jamie eating some omnious feelings (crush the pastel princesses) that leads to revealation that Pastel folks each have secrets on their own is kinda feel like deserved to have it own arc + is following the preparations to Gala from Pastel, CPC and Plaid side
> episode 106 [Jamie's Art Show] to episode 114 [Gwen's Costume]
The Gala-> anyone realized that this arc could be the longest arc in the CPC? Also the most heartbreaking as well at the end to the sides of CPC (fear of their mansion destroyed), Pastel and Plaid (their engagement broken, with Leland reveals to not playing nice anymore which leads the Pastel Princes got punished by Leland while the Pastel Princesses got severe heartbreaks)
> episode 115 [Lilyth's Diary (part 1) to episode 132 [Proposals (part 2)}
Leland's plan (?)-> probably the name I have for the current arc, the latter part of the Final season
> episode 133 [After the Gala] to NBA (currently free episode reaches ep 145 [Prison Break] while the FP is ep 148 [The Barbeque (part 2)] and on hiatus till 9th April
Prez's mad hatter outfit from the recent episode has the compound interest formula on it!! it makes a lot of sense for her
