#Shang Jr

[panthera-tigris-venenata]

Hi, I was reading your Haudrey and Uma one shot and I was thinking if you would do a one shot where Anxelin was nervous about entering a choir at School and Shang Jr was helping to gain confidence by playing his keyboard and started singing. Anxelin was in awe when she heard her male best friend sang, he sounded like an angel. So Anxelin gather courage and sang along with Jr by strumming her guitar. When Anxelin join up for the choir, she sang her mother's song(when will my life begin) and the judges were blown away. When Anxelin came back she told Jr about and excitedly jumped in his arms and hugged him. Then she realized it was her best friend she was hugging. She awkwardly unwrapped herself from Shang's embrace and the both of them laughed.

So this took me an eternity to answer, but here you go! I hope you like it, and that everyone else enjoys too!

...As always, I took some creative liberties, but it mostly matches. Just not exactly.

Anyway, enjoy! ♥♥♥

Anxelin

„And the auditions are tomorrow, it’s barely enough time to practise, I mean I know the song of course I do it’s my mom’s song, but it’s so little time and I’m nervous and school choir probably isn’t for me anyway–“ Anxelin paused her rambing, mostly just to take a breath, and moved her short hair from her eyes. She just cut it and dyed it recently, and it. Kept. Falling. Down.

It was driving her up the hall, really.

And! 

What’s worse, Shang Jr, her best friend was laughing. Laughing, would you believe it?!

„Hey!“ she protested that treatment.

„Chill, Anx,“ he told her, raising his hands in mock surrender, „You’ve got it, I’m sure. If you want to join the school choir, you get in. No debate on that one.“

Anxelin breathed in, to start arguing, but she barely got beyond agitated „But–“ when Junior cut her off again.

„No buts!“ he told her, „ “but” isn’t how my mom won the war, or how yours got out of the tower.“

Oh, how Anxelin hated this, hated being compared to her mother’s shining example all the time. 

And he knew it, too!

She glared at him.

Which had absolutely no effect, dammit.

„Look, I’m just saying, it’s gonna be fine.“

More glaring, this was not even worthy of an answer.

A pillow flew her way now, and she threw it back at his head. He caught it easily, of course, and laughed. She couldn’t help but laugh too.

„Hey, I’ve got a keyboard over there,“ he said, pointing at the instrument carelessly, „Wanna practice? Might take the anxiety away a bit.“

Anxelin considered this for bit: As much as she hated to admit this, he was probably right. Besides, it beats just sitting around and overthinking.

„Fine, yeah,“ she allowed, „You know the accords?“

Shang was good, she knew, but „When will my life begin“ wasn’t exactly his type of music.

„Obviously, there is not a song in this world or other that I do not know by heart,“ he boasted, before breaking into a laugh.

„Loudmouth,“ she complained.

„I’m googling it now.“

And really, in a moment, the first tones of the song rang through the room. Anxelin let the opening notes pass and then started singing along, trying to channel her mom through her voice, or, well, at least her joy. Her mom was the most joyful person Anxelin knew, one of the two people who could sing praise about doing laundry and moping, the other being Cinderella, of course.

Anxelin sings, lost in the music, and almost doesn’t notice when another voice joins her.

Shang Junior.

He has a voice from <i>heaven</i>.

Her jaw almost drops as she stops singing, listening to her friend instead, but that doesn’t last long. He notices her silence, and lets the song fade into nothing.

„What?“ he asks.

„You sing so well!“ she can barely contain her excitement and awe, „Why didn’t you tell me? You should join the choir!“

He shrugs.

„I don’t sing that well, really, and I enjoy mixing music more. You know I’m a DJ.“

She knows that, of course. But still, her face falls as she sucks at the inside of her cheek. „Hmm,“ she manages to murmur noncommittally.

Shang plays a single dissonant note on the keyboard. 

„Stop it, sunshine,“ he tells her, and she makes a face at that, „I don’t want to be in the choir, but you do, and you totally got this. You’ve got an amazing voice, and you know the song.“

„Yeah but–“

„No but, Anxelin. You go to the auditions tomorrow and blow them away, hear me?“

Well, Anxelin isn’t too sure about that; she tells him he should go with her, to make up for showing off just now.

He laughs at her, gets another pillow in his face, and then promises.

They even go over the song another few times before Anxelin has to leave for her own room, and by that time, she’s feeling reasonably sure of herself.

Unfortunately, that changes before the auditions roll around, and her anxiety is getting better of her again. She’d rather stay holed up in her room forever than–

„Anxelin!“ Pounding at the door cuts off her spiral, „Open up!“

„Go away!“ she yells at her best friend.

„If you don’t open in half a minute, I’m breaking the door, and you know I can do that!“

She reluctantly opens the door, already making a face at Junior.

But since he’s here, well, she lets him drag her out, more or less, only hissing death threats and curses for about a minute, which is her personal record.

But now they’re in front of the door, and Anxelin stops.

„I’m doing this,“ she tells herself, trying to calm the bundle of nerves in her stomach, „I’ve got this.“

„Absolutely, girl, go get them.“

She walks through the door, and when she turns around, Shang flashes her a quick thumbs-up and a smile.

As she waits for her turn, she does a few breathing exercises her dad taught her, and before she can knows, she is standing in front of the judges, and the opening notes are playing.

Last deep breath–

And then she is singing.

She lets the melody carry her away, the melody and the memory of her mom’s smile and hugs and the stories she told. With that on her mind, Anxelin stands up a little straighter, and closes her eyes for a moment.

A shiver runs down her spine as the song grows into an anxious staccato and she remembers the eyes of Mother Gothel, staring at her from the portrait mom painted–

She shakes that away, her short black hair flying around her face. Her hair, yes, she’s not her mother, she is Anxelin, and she’s auditioning for the school choir.

The song is just about ending, and Anxelin looks at the judges as she finishes. The last notes echo for a bit, the room frozen in silence, before the jury breaks up into an applause and blinding smiles.

„Congratulation, Anxelin Fitzherbert,“ one of them tells her, „You’re officially in the school choir of Auradon Prep. Practice is every Wednesday and Friday, from six o’clock.“

Anxelin barely hears anything beyond the first word, and she can barely contain her excitement. She got in! 

She did it!

„We’re looking forward at you,“ tells her another one of the judges, and she barely manages to nod along and not jump in the place from excitement. She flaps her hands just a little, and practically runs out of the room as soon as she can.

She falls around Shang’s neck; „I did it!“ she cries out, „I’m in the choir!“

„I know, I heard you, you were awesome!“ Shang matches her excitement and admirably doesn’t flinch away even though she just more or less screamed directly into his ears, and just now Anxelin realises how tightly she is clinging to her best friend.

„Sorry!“ she giggles nervously, letting go of him and stepping away from him.

„Don’t be!“ he laughs too, and then they’re laughing together, the last of her nerves flooding away.

She did it!

And he helped her and supported her so much –

„Thanks!“ she manages to thank him in between the fits of giggles.

I just saw your valentine's day post, do you have any Jr x Jamie valentines day headcanons? Even if it's one?

Yes!!!

Shang Jr is popular so he gets many chocolates from girls every year, but his favorite is Jamila's. They always hang out and eat them together after school.

Jamila is a good cook so she makes delicious chocolates

Jamila is also popular with the guys, which makes Shang Jr a lil jealous 🤭 she doesn't give them attention though and reassures Jr that he's the one she loves.

When they started dating, Shang would treat her dinner in a romantic restaurant.

They both give presents to each other that day after dating.

i'm currently thinking about how, for so long, you couldn't be an asian on the screen unless you were a side character that was pretty much built on stereotypes. and there are standout asian actors, but i'm a teenager so legends who made a name for themselves are kinda before my time. but both michelle yeoh and ke huy quan are the embodiment of not giving up on your dreams. even if it takes a while, you're time will come, and in a way that honors yourself. every time i see another post or edit of their oscar wins, i tear up.

i didn't grow up watching asians on tv. my only likeness as a child used to be mulan, but people at school used to tell me i couldn't just pick her as my favorite disney movie because she's asian (which, kids are dumb and that reasoning is stupid and besides the fact the she was the only representation kid-me had, mulan had a great storyline and message and characters and soundtrack and it was and still is a really great movie). i remember seeing characters like mike chang from glee on tv, but he was a character always pushed to the side, and those shows always had a way of just mocking and reaffirming stereotypes.

i think about how sometimes the only space for asian women was so that they could be sexualized, or how there was even less room for asian men on the screen unless they fit a certain look. how asians had to become an image to get their space.

and in recent years, the representation for asians has increased, and i'm so thankful. i wish i had that when i was younger, but i'm glad to have it now. with movies like shang chi or crazy rich asians, we get to see how respecting and celebrating culture is significant, but it's also not an asian's entire identity. how we are still people with stories that deserve to have main characters.

i'm so happy that eeaao gave michelle yeoh and ke huy quan their space. how this door opened for them and asians to be seen and respected. how they inspire people to dream big. how it feels possible for big dreams to really and truly happen.

when i was a little girl, i was obsessed with superheroes, which led me to my obsession with the tv show agents of shield. and i adored melinda may, played by ming na wen, who was a bad*ss character. and her character revolved not around her culture (although culture was not ignored) but how even without it she is still a character with a complex history and development and personality.

it's nice to be living and experiencing an era where asians are getting their recognition. representation is so important because it reaches so many people and lets them know that somewhere out there, achieving the dream, even for someone who looks like us, is within our reach.

we finally get to exist in the mainstream. and for that, my inner child is so grateful.

[moreespressoformydepresso]

Is there any Descendants kids names you want to change if you were to work with Descendants?

Li Shang Jr. hands down. In my post about Lonnie and Shang I explained my reasoning for it but the short version is that it’s lazy. Naming in China is more than just something sounding pretty. Names have meanings and are picked carefully, because as I understand it a common belief is that a good name brings good luck and a bad name brings bad luck. Mulan and Li Shang wouldn’t cheap out by tacking on a Jr for their son. And again, it’s just so lazy! There are so many beautiful Chinese names they could have picked and they couldn’t be bothered?? If it was really that big of an issue… they gave Lonnie a western name, so why not just give the poor boy his own name too?!?! I don’t get it and it frustrates me to no end. I hate it.

Same for Bashful Jr. and Sleepy Jr. I get he’s a minor character but there are so many names starting with a B like- for all I care just consult a random naming generator at least it’ll feel like you put in some effort. At least with Gaston’s kids Gaston Jr. and Gaston the Third it makes sense. Their names are perfect because Gaston is a self-obsessed jerk, of course he’d name his children after himself.

Red, from the rise of Red, because wtf kind of name is that? Her mother is the Red Queen, this just feels kinda lazy again. Ruby would have been better, even though I know there’s a daughter of Rapunzel already called that. It would be better and we already have two Harries so clearly double naming isn’t a problem. Ruby’s a shade of red, and it sounds like an actual name at least! But while we’re on the topic of double names…

Harry Hook or Harry Badun, because it’s a little confusing to have two Harry’s in a story when there doesn’t need to be (I say, while not complaining about the many Michaels in Percy Jackson). For real though there aren’t that many named characters in Descendants so why not just pick another H name?

Jokingly, I would change Mal’s name because I’m tired of reading about the trope that her full name is Malificent. Listen people, if the good ol’ mistress of evil really wanted to be a bitch, this is not what she’d do. This implies Mal could become good enough. If anything, she’d just call her Mal as a way of saying she’ll never be at her mother’s level in any way. No matter how hard she tries, she’ll always be the lesser version. The reduction. She cannot earn her full name, because she’ll never be as powerful/evil as her mother. It’s impossible.

Celia, because she breaks the naming conventions of this universe and it bothers me. I really like the name Celia, so if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s Facilier I’d change Freddie’s name to one starting with a C. But alas :/

Jane, for the same reason. Fairy Godmother means either an F or a G, because those are the initials for Fairy Godmother. Plenty of options to pick from, so while I get the nod to her being a Plain Jane it just doesn’t work for me.

Dude the dog, because I just don’t like it.

Maybe Herkie? It kinda sounds like a nickname for Hercules. Hiero might fit, because it means “priest” or “sacred” and both of his parents are gods. But I can live with Herkie because it’s kind of cute and I can accept it.

Exact same story for Morgie. It sounds like a nickname, but it’s lowkey cute so eh fine.

In strictly universe-consistency terms, I’f have to say Hermie Bing. However, since she was named after the Ringmaster’s voice actor Herman Bing I’ll let it slide.

Pin, son of Pinocchio. Why? Just… just why?

Speaking of Jr...

What are your headcanons of him? Even if it's limited?

Except for my last post?

I imagine Ben and everyone around that age group was fine and all

But kids who are like older then them so... Chip, Melody, Artie, Shang Jr and my oc's Ahmed, Jana and more grew up seeing the effects of the unitation of the kingdoms and the magic ban

Like they lived through it

So excluding chip (because he doesn't have a choice) all try to avoid Auradon and Auradon city in particular

So attending Auradon Prep was stressful for Shang Jr

He as I said before likes to cook but not very good at it but he is a bit better at baking

He likes to bake the chocolate chip cookies his mom makes when he is not home. It makes him feel closer to her

That's all for now ig...

Do you have any Descendants headcanons?

yes!

Lonnie and her brother like to watch comedy movies together and play video games

Their favorite genre is Fighting Games and their favorite is Tekken

They like fighting games because they are interested in Martial Arts

They also watch anime! they mostly watch the popular ones like Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen

Ben's favorite colour is blue! his mom makes him cakes and blue food with the blue color to support him

Ben also plays video games! his genre is mostly the popular ones tbh, but he plays any game really!

Audrey, Ben, Chad, Lonnie, Jane, Jamila and Shang Jr often had get togethers and video game nights before Shang graduated

Chloe joined them sometimes too!

When Mal and the other VK's arrived they taught them how to play Video games too as there weren't any on the Isle, only old ones we see on D3's arcade

Mal defintely mains Reina Mishima

They Core 4 became part of the group too and joined them after they arrived and Mal dated Ben

Audrey did not join them after D1-D2

Ben also likes to read! he read Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and some popular Manga Shang Jr showed him

The arcades in Auradon are way bigger and way cleaner so Mal, Jay, Evie and Carlos were both in awe when Ben and the gang brought them in one

Jane is a good cook!, her mother taught her to bake and cook when she was a teenager so she could manage when she grew up, whenever the school had an event, her delicates were the best thing to try!

Jamila and Shang Jr dated around their 2nd-3rd year, everyone knew they were crushing on each other except them

Jamila and Shang were also childhood friends!

What's the worst Descendants (both VK and AK) names you've ever heard and why?

worst AK name? Shang Jr AKA Li‘l Shang. just… what? For several reasons, actually. a) it‘s disrespectful to call your child junior in chinese culture, b) Shang and Mulan wouldn‘t call their son Shang Jr and you know it, c) Li‘l Shang? really? WHY? i also hate “Herkie“. that‘s not even a name!

Worst VK name? Clay. I mean, Clay Clayton. that‘s just so terrible I can‘t even. why?! I don‘t like the name Clay in general, but freaking Clay Clayton?! what? were the writers high while writing this name!?

And these are just three names, basically all of them are terrible. kids having a name that sounds similar to their parent/s? okay, I can live with that, it probably makes the whole remembering thing easier for smaller kids. but come on disney, do better that whatever this is! Carlos is a good name! Celia isn‘t too bad! I don‘t even know where you got Zevon, but it‘s good!

STOP WITH THE TERRIBLE NAMES PLEASE I BEG YOU

I took the liberity on interpretations, so I hope yall don't mind!

1. Hades and Persephone in Truth or Fiction. Particularly Hades glaring at Ben off screen muttering about Mal still only being 16.

2. Lonnie and Li Shang Jr with baobing (a variation of bingsoo/shaved ice) with some matcha and red bean. Idk where'd they get it from school, but I like to imagine their grandma sent some and told them to share. But siblings are gonna hog LOL

3. I know family photo was asked for, but I wasn't sure I'd have time, but this "run Hades ragged" popped up into my head and I hope that's an okay substitute!

4. Hadie and Mal being chaotic! I wanted to originally keep all asks 3 characters or less, but...pain and panic are smol, and this evolved on its own. May finish this one later because I love it so much.

5. Ben and Chip! Chip is happy Ben doesn't wear horrid things anymore, and has decided to celebrate with pyrotechnics.

6. Lonnie! That's all that was asked 😅 but she looks cool!

7. FLAMING GLASS MY BELOVED. I had originally worked on a sim piece but did NOT like how it turned out. This one is BEAUTIFUL THO SO ANON TY FOR MAKING ME TRY AGAIN.

Your brutally honest thoughts on Lonnie (and her family) in the Descendants franchise?

My brutally honest thoughts are that she’s a plot device turned love interest who can be summed up as “badass girlboss swordgirl”. And Mulan reference. I like Lonnie, but she doesn’t really have a character arc for me to talk about nor is she a big enough character to really need one. She’s the start of Mal’s little hair business in the first movie and inspires Jane to rip her dress, which is a joke for exactly one scene. It’s a show of Jane doing things she normally wouldn’t to fit in. She’s copying others’ behavior, which leads to her copying Audrey’s mean streak later on, which gets the hair reversed, which makes her grab the wand. The only thing Lonnie really does in the first movie is come into the kitchen and cry over the idea that villains don’t love their kids (because that “in their own way” is bullshit and all five of them know it). Second movie we have a sexism plot and Lonnie is a badass swordsman, and implied romance between Jay and Lonnie because it looks like they went to the cotillion together, but nothing’s for sure. She’s an actual character now, but her story is just a smaller-scale version of her mom’s. Without any of the stakes, I guess, but it’s high school. They’re both denied a chance to fight (in a war for someone who will absolutely die vs in high school fencing) and they get in anyways by hiding that they’re a girl. Lonnie wears a mask and beats people at fencing before revealing it’s her, Mulan does a full-on undercover mission. I would’ve liked it more if they gave Lonnie a parallel to another fairy tail, since mini-Mulan feels a little uninspired. Switching it up would be fun, like Evie and Dough having a role reversal sleeping beauty when their parents are from SW&7D.

Li’l Shang… idk how to feel about the name I can’t not see this as a bad rapper name. It reminds me of lil’ kleine, specifically one song of his that makes me cringe. Why did he have to go with that nickname instead of literally anything else? Because his actual name is Li Shang Jr. which is very inspired and creative, Disney :/. At least Gaston has his solar system sized ego as an excuse, and the fact that he’s from France. Every Western European country I know of picks whatever name they think sounds the best (I don’t know enough about Eastern European naming conventions to say anything definitively). Mulan and Li Shang are Chinese, though. From what I know Chinese spend a lot of time and care on picking a name, I doubt they’d just tack Jr on it and call it a day. Now that I’m done with the interesting stuff… Li’l Shang accidentally sets up a training date between his little sister and Jay in the novel, and that’s the only significant thing he does. He’s there to help Jay with R.O.A.R as assistant coach and I guess to throw in that joke about asians always being better at stuff since he’s gonna go back to Northern Wei to launch his hip hop career and rule at the same time.
