I'm actually curious about this; how many of us have seen Brandy Norwood and Paolo Montalban in Cinderella? And if you saw the movie, was it before or after their being cast in D4?

#saw it before 😹✌🏾 #IMPOSSSSSSSSIBLE

Disney Descendants: Beyond the Isle of the Lost Book Trailer 

Description Fall down the rabbit hole…

For Red, growing up in Wonderland has been no piece of cake (literally—dessert is outlawed). Her mom, the Queen of Hearts, rules the kingdom with an iron scepter, while Red longs for a life of her own. She’s heard rumors about an island that once housed all the villains of folklore. A place with no rules? It sounds perfect.

But then the Queen declares that Red will issue a royal decree at the annual Wonderland Tea Ceremony (aka she'll come up with new ridiculous laws). Of course, Red loathes idea of following in her mother’s crimson-heeled footsteps. Banding together with new friends, Ace and Chester, Red plans the ultimate rebellion: a party. Little does she know that they’ll be setting off a chain of events (or un-events) that could change things forever.

#when did this come out #i'm so out of the loop lmfao

don't know if i'm gonna watch the new movie cause i didn't even watch the royal wedding i'd be a little more excited about brandy and paolo retuning as cinderella and charming if chad was in the fucking movie but that's what fanfiction is for, yes?

#disney descendants #descendants #maybe it's already been done but i always wanting to write some weird multi chapter family fic about chad jane dizzy and anthony #and now add chloe too oh lord

[chadflorian]

Chad has such henchman energy re Audrey. he’s not even a simp he’s literally like ‘on it boss’ and immediately fucks it up

[chadflorian]

You seem to like Chad too so here's some cute pictures I found on Pinterest;

loveeee this, thank you

Crazy how Ben can say France but Lonnie can’t say China

#'northern wei' girl bye

[chadflorian]

In addition to my rant about Lonnie a second ago, as far as I am aware this is the only time the franchise acknowledges Lonnie's absence

#so why are mal evie and jane the same color #and jay carlos ben doug abs chad the same tan

[chadflorian]

Can I ask why do you think the Lonnie storyline in D2 was forced? No hate

okay likeee 1) they just wanted to give lonnie something to do and 2) it was a cheap way of doing the whole "GIRLS ROCK!" thing when i thought mal and evie finally breaking the generational curse from their embittered mothers in d1 was enough but i guess that wasn't too in your face enough for disney

mind you they do this in the same movie that introduces us to uma, so what was the need for lonnie's story to be about how she's sooo cool and wields swords even tho she's a gurrrl (gasp!) ?? lonnie showed no signs of this behavior or wanting to be like her mom in d1, granted the only scene we get of her is her wanting a hairdo but whatevs we saw how they morphed chad into a new person every movie so i guess personality whiplash is just normal for this franchise?

(and quick note i find it strange a place like auradon prep, a school that has male cheerleaders and set in a land where plenty of women have proved themselves to keep up with men randomly has a "No Girls" rule for any of their sports but ooookay.)

but in general i'm just kinda over that whole "girl boss" trope in movies/tv shows. now granted d2 was filmed in 2016 and aired 2017 when this trope was still The Hot Thing, but like we understand girls can get Down And Dirty too and i thought mal evie and uma represented that perfectly and smoothly, especially evie who can kick ass while still wearing a full of glam makeup because that's her established character and not just a ploy.

at the end of the day lonnie's whole story was just out place in d2 and i find it funny that she wasn't in d3 cause i think this kinda proved how useless she is as a character? still a nice girl tho

I really don't like Mal, but I find it concerning how Hades is such a popular character.

He abandoned his own kid. Just because his actor looks great doesn't change that being a deadbeat dad isn't as badass as D3 makes it sound.

We all hate the douchebag Auradon adults (Beast, Belle, The Fairy Godmother, Leah) and that's for very good reason. But Hades is just as crappy an adult and parent as they are, yet is literally a fan favourite. Really he should be put into the same pile as them.

#ctfu it's crazy how almost every single VK and AK was failed by their parents in some way #like they made it obvious with mal evie audrey carlos and jane #but likeeeee i still wanna explanation on how chad was raised by cinderella but still ended up like that... was it kit? #and idk certainly jay had to have some sort of perfectionism or botched views on masculinity bc of his dad #but ofc this franchise doesn't gaf about jay so 🤷🏾‍♂️ #also ben... pressuring a 16 year old to rule an entire nation. he's totally not gonna be fcked up when's older noooo way. #and dare i say lonnie's little 'girlboss' storyline in d2 was incredibly forced #cause what if she didn't wanna be Badass Femme Queen Warrior Diva Xuntress like her mom? #like with all the AKs having these parents who are basically legends would put a lot of pressure on you #and then there's doug. he's doug. that's it.

countdown of my favourite descendants: Jay (6/10)

besides you disliking chad all your opinions are A1

I've found that while thinking about how to answer this a lot of my opinions on the AKs may seem negative but I think it's because the Vks were the main characters so they didn't give them any thought to be fleshed out. One word I've thought about multiple characters is shallow and I'm realizing it was just the poor writing because they'll justify, humanize and explain horrible actions the Vks did but made the Aks all completely shallow so that's something to keep in mind.

Chad- I don't actually dislike Chad with a burning passion or anything. He was a handsome teenage boy who knew it and used it to his advantage and I don't see him as a villain within in the whole him and Evie thing, her intentions weren't pure either yet, he takes the brute. Then in D2 and 3 I just kind of felt sorry for him because he was used as comedic relief with no real background anymore.

Doug- Overly hated in my opinion, he was a simple guy, people do way too much about him being quote on quote stalker. I don't care about him and I think he's boring but overall he's the character that made me realize that Aks are held to this unreachable standard while Vks are given grace for everything in the fandom. I've seen people call him abusive because he pretended not to wake up after Evie kissed him it's ridiculous.

Jane- Shallow and insecure. My unpopular opinion about her stands, she got off easy compared to Audrey and would've ditched any of her friends for the winning team. In hindsight that's not the worst thing an insecure teenage girl can do, of course she wants to be popular. My problem was Audrey was villainized and isolated and blamed for actions Jane took part in and Jane pretty much felt no remorse on seeing her old friend fade.

Lonnie- Same thing shallow and wished they didn't make her do certain things. She was happy and supportive seeing Audrey get publicly dumped just because Mal fixed her bob. Then when Uma did the same thing ditched Ben who she knew way longer than Mal in favor of Mal just because he brought another girl after Mal broke up with him. Her D2 plot was stupid, she was way more pissed about a school sport than her friend being kidnapped.

Audrey- My second favorite character out of the whole series, she was treated poorly and deserved better. While saying that I can acknowledge all of her wrong doings and how the plot could've been different had she taken a different path in D3 than trying to destroy Auradon. But she was never a villain, she never bullied the Vks and she did her job like she was supposed to and got her life ruined and was kicked while she was down by her own family. I wish she was the main character and we got to see a good story play out for her after being mistreated so.

Ben- my ultimate favorite Descendants character. I like Ben because he's everything I'm not basically. He annoys me as a figure of authority because his kind nature quickly becomes a weakness and makes him look like he has no backbone but he's Ben so I can forgive him. He had potential to be a good King but ultimately he was not a good King to me looking back. His willingness to forgive others, think of others was commendable and he made his mistakes but ultimately when I see Ben I see a respectable person but not king. He would be a friend to rival all others but if anybody advocated for his King status to be postponed or removed I'd be the first to agree.

#doug hate is so weird to me cuz he literally doesn't do anything

[chadflorian]

my unpopular descendants opinions  All three movies

These are my opinions not facts and like stated above they’re unpopular there’s a chance your favorite character might be came for or a scene you felt strongly about, I strongly disagreed with. I’m not stating really obvious things either like: Ben shouldn’t have been crowned King at 16.

* Jane got off lightly. She was just as much of a bitch to the Vks as Audrey was but she’s generally the one forgiven.

I think Jane is fake, she’s on whoever is the winning team’s side EX: If Ben decided to date any other AK and Mal or Audrey she would’ve be friended them and ditched everybody else 

Family day was overdramatic and you could definitely tell that they C4 were teenagers with their decision making

They had ONE bad day in Auradon after for the most part, being treated well and even becoming popular to the point they were questioning their decision 

But ONE bad day and they decide to go through with taking over Auradon and it’s not like anybody was lying on them.

Sorry Queen Leah is another thing but Chad wasn’t lying about anything and for them to know he wasn’t and sit and get offended was dumb

They came over to Auradon with Bad intentions and got to roam around freely and took advantage of it

Mal did steal Audrey’s Boyfriend by drugging him, Jay was stealing, Evie was gold digging. 

Evie shouldn’t have put her hand in his face if she didn’t want him to push it out of his face.

Because like I said above he wasn’t wrong, Evie didn’t really care too much about Chad as a person she was interested in the fact that he was a Prince.

Was it Prince behavior no? But was he 100% dead wrong no? 

Audrey was really the one who started that fight at Family day too

Ben’s whole VK plan was messy when you take into account Leah’s reaction at family day.

The OG heroes should’ve at least been informed that their respective villains children were coming over so they were aware and a situation like Leah wouldn’t happen.

I mean Leah treats her own granddaughter like shit depending on who’s she is dating so she definitely wasn’t going to treat Mal any better but let’s say her reaction at family day was out of pure trauma. 

It could’ve been avoided if she was informed and didn’t actually end up standing next to her enemy’s daughter.

Ben’s whole plan was dumb and messy.

Giving the VKs restrictions isn’t the same as punishing them for their parent’s crimes 

Realistically speaking they were on the Isle taught solely by their villain parents and other villains so it would’ve been sense to ease into giving them trust.

Because looked how that turned out they tried to take over Auradon and their king got drugged all because they didn’t want the VKs to think they were being punished for their parent’s crimes.

  I think the VKs not getting any punishment for changing their minutes at the last minute was BS. Especially if these are the same people mad Audrey got off too.

The vks had ample time to change their minds, were considering dropping the plan and when they got in their feelings decided to go through with it.

They had everything to gain staying in Auradon and the only thing they lost was their abusive controlling parents

But they very much got rewarded for changing their mind on bad behavior last minute and it shows throughout the other movies. 

That’s why they were so comfortable going in out of the isle without permission especially with the king unprotected. 

Because they knew no matter what happened at the end of the day nothing would really happen to them because they had the king’s favor. 

Evie was kind of a dick to me when she assumed Uma was going to destroy Auradon and that’s why she wanted the wand. I don’t completely not understand her thinking because She kidnapped Ben to get to the wand.

But no Uma had to have wanted to hurt somebody and not her wanting to get herself and any other kid off the Isle after they 4 of you unfairly got picked.

That’s another thing, it was dumb to pick the 4 ‘worst’ kids because how does that look to the other kids who might’ve wanted a better life.

The one’s who terrorize us here get to be the first ones to get the better things in life and later on we basically have to apply to even leave but also ass kiss the four of them to even get a chance.

Uma stans do acknowledge that she was wrong for spelling Ben but it’s often lighten/ brushed over.

We have to acknowledge the fact that Ben would’ve talked to Uma if she just attempted to after she jumped through the Barrier.

He wouldn’t have thrown her right back in he would’ve spoke to and defended her if she tried but she didn’t she went straight to the love spell

Lonnie is just as fake as Jane is when it comes to homie hopping. 

She went fuck Ben and I stand with you Mal real quick for somebody who was supposed to have a sibling like relationship with him

Audrey turning villain was no surprise and I feel especially like the adults should hold themselves accountable more.

My opinion on this matter is biased, especially when comparing to how I’m digging into the VKs above but I’ll say because their actions are excused in canon and largely forgive in the fandom. 

At the end of the day I know Audrey had other options than going rogue and she was wrong for that period.

But as fucked up as it sounds I don’t think she would’ve ever done that if it weren’t for her circumstances. 

She would’ve lived a responsible life, spending her days cheerleading, and preparing for royal duties.

But instead not only did her relationship fall apart she was shunned. 

Jane, Lonnie and everybody else stopped talking to her and favored Mal to the point where people were ignoring her when she spoke and asking why she showed up to Jane’s birthday party.

So of course in her mind Dating Ben/ Being next in line for Queen= being treated like a human.

Because all of these people ignoring her were kissing her ass when she was with Ben

Girl had depression and flunked in school and had to take summer school because it was fucking her up.

continuously she was straight up ignored whenever she said something because she wasn’t seen as anything to be worried about

Straight up insulted by adults she probably looked up to (Belle) 

And when people (her grandma) did speak to her it was to tear her down and degrade her.

So she became a threat and something they can’t straight up ignore anymore. 

Ideally I’d like for that to happen by her thriving and living her best life but she had to choose evil.

That whole let’s get along bs Evie was doing the entire movie was a waste of time.

If Mal decided Uma and her crew were enemies, Evie and the other 2 yes Men would’ve turned on Uma and did as Mal said.

So she shouldn’t be surprised nobody wanted to be kumbaya with them

Nobody forced or pressured Mal to close the barrier 

A large part of it was her not wanting anybody to find out her daddy was Hades.

She straight up says she did it for them (the c4) and the lives they had there

Auradon being safe or any of the VKs were not her priority when she made the decision. 

Ben’s little “so have I” irked me because if anybody should’ve been talked to her in three years it should’ve been you

Him thinking she was fine because she rebounded with chad is one thing but literally watching her not only fade from his life but Auradon period and being MIA after being together all the time and had no clue???

Guess he was too busy dealing with Mal’s bs 

Headcanon Mal still has him spelled. 

Hades little speech was bullshit, he earned his punishment and so did all of his fellow villains 

Compared to him Audrey was literally a ticking time bomb everybody ignored because they didn’t care and they fucked around and found out.

and not only that the daughter he was standing in front of saying this played a big part in it so you might want to shut up.

Mal did what she did out of malice, I refused to believe her “I didn’t mean to” bs when it comes to Audrey because Audrey’s name stayed in her mouth whenever she was talking shit. 

Audrey was correct in not getting a punishment not because her actions were a result of the adults failing to notice her depression and other kids contributing to it but simply because nobody else did

C4 weren’t punished in D1 Mal was never punished for her fuck shit, Uma and her friends weren’t given formal punishments from what I understand (especially with it being a known fact Uma spelled Ben for her own gain unlike Mal’s lying ass saying she did it for love. She was wanted to be captured though I believe) 

So why should Audrey out of everybody be the only who got a formal punishment, I think not

Audrey being kumbaya with them at the end was too soon, she should’ve left Auradon, healed and never spoke to them again. 

Because like I said she was at first a ticking time bomb and now that she exploded everybody wants to be civil now?

She needed new friends a new life everything.

Uma too, she shouldn’t have to be friends with Mal either 

C4 forgiving Mal for her decision to shut the barrier down was not their place in my opinion.

Of course you’ll forgive her because it really isn’t doing anything to you having it shut down especially Evie she got the kid she wanted off of there

This wasnt about them this was about the kids who didnt even have the choice nor would they be aware of it, had Mal went through it 

It wasn’t about C4 and their hurt feelings about Mal lying 

Do I even need to say them taking down the barrier was dumb?

You know what, this is funny to me.

I think the casting did think it was cool to bring Brandy and Paolo back to play Cinderella and Charming (I actually made a post about that to be funny and well, alright then...) from the 1997 version of Cinderella and I know some of us was confused about Chad's status even before the casting because they decided to bring in a daughter for this fourth Descendants movie.

With that, I'm sure it was questioned if Chad is adopted or not because...

Yeah...

But this is where it's unintentionally funny.

Does anyone remember who played the King and Queen in 1997?

See?! This is just a funny coincidence to me. I can't be the only one who thought about this!!

#lmaooo i thought the same thing when they announced brandy and paolo coming back #a filipino man and black woman randomly creating a blonde white baby 😭

[chadflorian]

i kinda hate how they changed up chad's character cause he was actually more interesting when he was mean and manipulative in d1 instead of the "goofy stupid sidekick" in d2 and d3

#disney descendants #descendants #chad charming #don't get me wrong i still love Comic Relief Chad #but like he clearly was Not Dumb just an asshole who had misconceptions #in d2 they make him just kinda stupid and then make him sexist to force that corny ass lonnie Girl Power story #and then in d3 he's just audrey's bitch like what are y'all doing
