I’m Okay

A Carlos de Vil sickfic (just fluffy goodness!) Please repost w/credit.

Disclaimer: I own neither the franchise nor any of these characters.

After their battle with Uma and her gang, the four evils - plus Ben and Lonnie - trudge back to the limo in the misty darkness. They’re all in various states of exhaustion and terror, still coming to terms with the fact that they almost lost Ben to Uma today. As they finally reach the car, Carlos stumbles a moment before reaching for the keys in his pocket and tossing them to Jay. He groans as he gets into the backseat, rubbing his temples.

"You good, bro?" Jay asks.

"Yeah, my head’s just killing me,” Carlos replies. “I’ll be fine.”

“You’re probably dehydrated,” Evie offers, twisting the top off of a water bottle and handing it to him. “Drink this - we’ll be home soon.”

Carlos sighs, taking a sip of the cool liquid and wincing as it hits his throat. Thankfully, only Evie notices, meeting his eyes with a concerned frown. You ok? she mouths, raising an eyebrow.

Carlos weighs his options for a moment before responding, knowing full well that Evie is exceptional at catching lies. He settles on nodding briefly, punctuating the sentiment with a shrug. She nods, still wary, but doesn’t press the issue further, as the portal opens and they pass through to the mainland.

"Okay, guys," Mal says, mercifully unaware of their silent conversation. "Whatever you do tomorrow...whatever anyone asks... you were anywhere but the Isle. Got it?"

The next day, they’re all back in their classes, trying desperately to come up with answers to all the questions about their absence. While Jay, Evie, and Mal are all left scrambling for pathetic fibs (Jay claiming a special errand, Evie lying that she needed a day to catch up on homework, and Mal pretending she had duties to perform as the future queen), Carlos, however, has the perfect excuse - not only is his head still aching, but now he's coughing and sniffling his way through every class, so he follows the obvious route, saying he'd been out sick. What he doesn’t count on is everyone’s obvious concern - he hasn’t looked in the mirror this morning, so he's the only one unaware of how awful he actually looks. That is, except for the rest of the VKs, who have been in other classes all day.

“Carlos!” Mal practically shouts at him, doing a double take when they meet at their lockers. “What happened? You look like crap,” she adds, with a gentle punch to his arm. “Are you ok?”

He falters, but catches himself, faking a grin. “Yeah, I’m fine. Why?”

“She just said why, dummy,” Jay puts in affectionately. “You do look pretty bad.”

“It’s, uh, makeup,” Carlos fibs, casting around desperately for an excuse. He isn’t fully sure why he doesn’t mind claiming sickness to the rest of his classmates, but he knows if his friends think he's sick, he's in for it. He was small, so they tended to be a bit over-the-top with worrying, but it always bothered him being seen as the weak one of the gang - he could take care of himself just fine, thank you very much.

Evie raises an eyebrow, clearly suspicious. Wrong choice, dummy, he thinks. Of course the beauty queen can tell if it’s makeup or not.

Maybe she sees the panic in his eyes, or maybe by some miracle he’s genuinely fooled her, but either way, she nods and leaves it alone. He holds back a sigh of relief, knowing he still has to keep the charade up.

“Everyone was asking me where I’d been yesterday, so I said I was sick, but I figured they wouldn’t have believed me if I didn’t look it so I… uh, I threw on some stuff to make me look pale?” He finishes, ending in a question, praying they’ll take the bait.

"…Okay.” Mal hesitantly agrees.

"Huh." Jay nods, seemingly approving.

The bell rings suddenly, and they scramble to go their separate ways, but not before Evie brushes past him with a whispered “Feel better, C.”

Dang it. She knows.

He drags himself to his next class, barely able to hold himself up. Mercifully, they're watching a documentary, so he can get away with closing his eyes in the dark and trying to wish away the driving ache in his temples. Only when the bell rings does he jolt up and realize he had been asleep - he's just grateful no one saw. Even groggier now, he seriously considers just going straight to his dorm and skipping class - better to ask forgiveness than permission - but decides against it, knowing if Jay finds him in the dorm early he'll be found out for sure. And somehow, to him, that's even worse than being miserable.

Finally, the last class is over and he can retreat to the dorm he shares with Jay. His head is pounding, now, and he's pretty sure he has a fever. He walks as quickly as he can, stumbling a few times, stifling a few sneezes into his wrist. He glances around for any sign of his friends, but thankfully, they're not around, so he continues quickly on his way.

He reaches the door and practically bursts in, flopping on his bed with a hoarse groan.

“Ok, are you actually good?” Jay is perched on his bed, looking over at him quizzically. “You played it off earlier, but that sounded kind of miserable.”

Oh God. Too late, Carlos thinks. And as much as he hates to admit it, Jay is right. However strongly he wants - no, needs - them not to know, he’s just so tired. Today had been pretty thoroughly miserable, and he doesn't have the energy to think up another excuse. He has one rule, though. Play it cool. Don’t volunteer the s-word. Anything but the s-word.

“Yeah, I feel kind of miserable,” Carlos replies, half-choking out a laugh. “It’s nothing though. I just need to catch up on some sleep.” He stifles another sneeze, curling up on the soft covers and closing his eyes. Sleep sounds so good right about now, he thinks.

He startles when he feels a cold hand on his forehead, snapping open his eyes to find Jay standing over him.

“You’re burning up. That’s not nothing,” Jay says before Carlos can open his mouth. “I’m gonna get Mal and Evie.”

“I’ll be ok, really, I’m not-”

“Sick?” Jay interrupts. “Uh-huh. So we could bake cookies on your head why, exactly? Are you just a human furnace now, or-”

“Fine!” Carlos snaps. “I’m sick, happy?” He practically melts on the last word, giving in to the confession. “I didn’t want to say anything because you guys always worry over me. But...yeah, I feel like crap, and frankly, I don’t know how I made it through school without dying.”

Jay chuckles at that, but quickly becomes serious. “We're your friends, Carlos. I know we can get a bit over the top, and I'm sorry - but we all love you, and we worry. You scared us a couple times on the Isle, and we don’t want that to happen again,” Jay falters, his cool facade cracking for a moment, then continues anew. "I do need to get Mal and Evie, though. They're better at this than I am, and you saw how Mal freaked out earlier. I'd rather she not kill us both for hiding it from her."

Carlos grins at that, conceding. Evie seems to know already anyway, might as well let the cat out of the bag. He closes his eyes again, grateful for the darkness and silence as Jay closes the door.

“I knew something was wrong!”

Carlos wakes up to the sound of Mal, freaking out once again. Geez, she really wasn’t as stoic as she pretended, was she?

“...makeup, yeah, right… I should’ve guessed…what was he thinking?”

He decides to make himself known then, opening his eyes and sitting up as a shiver runs through him. Dang, it’s so cold in here.

Mal turns on him, eyes blazing, but quickly softens when she sees his condition.

“Carlos - you should’ve told us! What were you thinking? What if something happened?” Evie puts a hand on her arm, and she quiets down.

“Look,” Mal begins again, “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to treat you like you’re weak. I just- I do worry, okay?”

“I know,” he croaks, frowning at how gravelly he sounds, “I do know. It’s just that I worry enough myself without you all worrying too. I was there on the Isle too, you know - you were only worried about me, but I was the one who was almost dying! Multiple times!” He ends with a half-chuckle, as if trying to soften the memory.

He shivers again, wrapping his arms around himself.

“Hey,” Evie interrupts, stepping over and brushing the backs of her fingers against his forehead. “Why don’t we get you to Fairy Godmother, and we can finish this conversation when you’re feeling better? You’re still burning up pretty bad.”

Carlos complies, and they make their way out of the dorm, him leaning on Jay for some support.

After they visit with Fairy Godmother, they head back to the dorm, Evie and Mal’s arms practically overflowing with supplies - who knew there were so many different types of medicine? - and they shove open the door to Jay and Carlos’ dorm. Carlos flops back on top of his bed, too tired to do anything more than exist (and maybe sleep).

Jay helps Carlos get under the covers, seeing the younger boy still shivering, and Mal pours out some colorful liquid from a bottle.

“It says to take this every 6 hours, and it should help with your fever,” Mal reads, glancing over at him. “Then you should probably sleep, and we’ll be here if you need anything.”

Carlos mumbles something from under the blankets and rolls over. Mal pulls the blankets down and helps him sit up, shoving the medicine cup under his nose. “Drink,” she insists. “It’ll make you feel better.”

He takes the cup and chokes it down, gagging at the taste, then flops back down.

“Promise you’ll tell us if you need anything,” Mal looks at him solemnly. “Anything, okay?”

Carlos cracks a small smile and nods, already feeling slightly better just at the fact that Mal - Mal, the daughter of Maleficent and former terror of the Isle - is actually fussing over him.

Maybe it’s not as bad as I thought, Carlos wonders as he closes his eyes. After all, who else gets the full attention of a scary half-dragon girl when they’re sick?

De Vil family aesthetics part 2;

Part 2 to the de vil family aesthetics. Part 1 is here.

🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩

Dupree De Vil (Husband of Mallory "Malevola" De Vil and father of Cruella, Divus, Cyrus, Cotton, and Cecil De Vil. Uncle of P.H. De Vil. A fashion business man who fell in love with the wrong woman and did his best to be a good father, even if he was a tad neglectful. He was more involved in the kids' lives than his wife was. He suffered from depression in his later life and slowly began to resent his wife but never divorced her-- which is why he's known while other spouses that married/had kids with the de vils aren't known. His kids were his pride and joy and on his death bed he admitted he regretted not leaving his wife. Causing Mallory to hate their kids even more) aesthetic.

Philip Herbert "P.H" De Vil (Mad scientist cousin of Cruella, Cecil, Cyrus, Cotton, and Divus. He's a food connoisseur who owns an ice cream factory and a Mad scientist/investor who experiments on animals. He's a bit nutty and one of Cruella's closest friends, though he's saner than her. He has never met his mother and hasn't had any kids. That's all there is to say, especially since he hasn't had any pets since he was a kid-- other than Pinky that is. He's older than Cruella by 6 years) aesthetic.

Divus "Devious" De Vil (He is Cruella de vil's twin brother and the only living de vil to not be sent to the isle. He has the family fashion sense but is alot more sane and has more empathy than everyone other than perhaps Cecil. He's also the only one who hasn't gotten in serious trouble with the law. He is a science and potions teacher and a bit of an alcoholic. He and Carlos would get along swimmingly. He has no pets that I know of and is single because he doesn't believe his generation of the family can have a happy ending. He's also just as obsessed with cars as his siblings are) aesthetic.

Cyrus De Vil (Father of Charles De Vil and Grandfather of Hunter de vil. Sibling of Cruella, Cotton, Cecil, and Divus De Vil. He has no pets. He's a botanist, gardener, and farmer who ran away from home not long after Charles was born. His girlfriend died in childbirth) aesthetic.

Melione Olympian (Daughter of Hades. Goddess of necromancy, ghosts, Nightmares, and funeral rites. Also known as the first de vil. Gave up her God Hood for a human and had children, and lived a long life with them all. She's the reason their last name is De Vil and one of their oldest ancestors) aesthetic.

Cotton "Firebug" De Vil (Youngest child of Mallory "Malevola" De Vil and Dupree De Vil, brother of Cruella, Divus, and Cyrus De Vil, and single father of Ivana "Ivy" De Vil. He's a pyro noir-like detective who died when Ivy was 3 in a freak accident involving fire. Ivy's mother was woman named 'Carmen Sandiego' who her father had an... interesting relationship... with as a detective. Carmen has no idea where her daughter is after Cotten dies) aesthetic.

Charles/Charlie "Archer" De Vil (Son of Cyrus De Vil, cousin of Carlos and Ivy De Vil, and father of Hunter De Vil. He is an artist who dabbles in many art forms and an archer. He was an archery teacher before he died and he, unlike his dad, wasn't a teen father. Hunter's mother was Charles' ex, Helga Sinclair, who would later go onto bare Harry Badun. That's right, Harry/Harold Badun, and Hunter De Vil are half-siblings. Deal with it. I like it, this is my fanfic verse, and that's just how it is. He had a pet lobster that he named Goose) aesthetic.

BREAKING DAWN

Warnings: Fantasy conflicts, self discovery, emotional moments

In a world where fairy tales were more than just stories, you, known only as Y/N, found yourself entangled with Carlos de Vil, the son of the infamous Cruella De Vil. Unlike his mother, Carlos had a heart of gold, and his eyes sparkled with kindness, a stark contrast to the coldness one would expect.

The two of you met at Auradon Prep, where children of both heroes and villains gathered, a place where destinies could be rewritten. Carlos, with his silver-white hair and tech-savvy brilliance, stood out from the crowd, and it wasn't long before you became fast friends.

One evening, as the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the school grounds, Carlos turned to you with a solemn expression. "Y/N," he said, his voice tinged with a seriousness you hadn't heard before, "the sun shall set and my days shall end. That's what my mother always said. She believed I was destined to follow in her footsteps, to become nothing more than a villain in someone else's story."

You took his hand, feeling the tremble in his fingers. "Carlos, look at me," you urged. "You are not your mother. You have the power to choose who you want to be. The sun will set, yes, but it will rise again, and with each new day, you have the chance to be the hero of your own story."

Carlos looked into your eyes, and in them, he saw the unwavering belief you had in him. It was a belief that warmed him more than the setting sun ever could. "With you by my side, I think I can face the dawn," he whispered.

And as the stars began to twinkle in the sky, you and Carlos made a pact. Together, you would face whatever came your way, not as villains or heroes, but as two souls determined to carve out a path of their own, under the watchful eyes of the setting sun and the hopeful gaze of the rising moon.

What are your honest thoughts on all Descendants boys? From both books and movies?

Oehh that’s a good question! I’ll base most of this off of the movies because I remember them more clearly. Sorry this is so late, I needed some time to sort out my thoughts. Let’s see:

Ben: cutie, golden retriever energy, needs to grow a bit more of a spine but as a recovering doormat I vibe with him.

He’s got a good heart, and he’s definitely going places, but I have no idea who decided a 16-year-old should be king. Hilariously, he’s a better king than his dad because he cares about all of his people, not just the “heroes”. But still, he’s 16, let him have his dumbass teenage years. He’s still in his phase of wanting to please everyone and that isn’t gonna lead to the best decision making. You’re king, Ben, you can overrule your girlfriend’s selfish idiotic plan of closing the barrier. Just tell her “the barrier was opened for you to come through too. If those kids aren’t worth the risk, does that mean you aren’t either? Should we throw you back?!” And she’s change her tune real fast. You gotta give some tough love sometimes.

Jay: cool, I wanna know his gym routine, pretty funny but rash, needs Carlos to temper his brand of crazy (love their bromance).

I love the narrative parallels to the movie Aladdin. Jafar thought himself so far above a street rat and now he’s raised his son to be one so he can continue being a con-man. In the movies, Jay is actually a very accurate representation of your upbringing shaping you into who you are. All Jay knows is stealing, he’s never been taught to pay if he doesn’t have to, so to him stealing’s perfectly fine. It’s normal. It’s a lot more subtle than the whole “who doesn’t like being evil” bit, but the core idea is the same: when all you’ve ever known is one perspective, that’s gonna feel like the objective truth because you’ve never had a chance to try a different one.

Carlos De Vil: Best (movie) Boy, my baby, I love him. What a little nerd (affectionate).

He’s a big part of why I willfully ignore the absolute stupidity that is the third movie’s ending. I’m sorry Mal, wtf is wrong with you??? You set your supposed friend’s abuser free for nothing but some empty platitudes and dare suggest you’ve become an empathetic person?!?! In the books, we get a lot more insight into just how horrible of a mother Cruella is, but even in the movies we see he’s had it bad because of how jumpy and nervous he is. Disney is still Disney so we don’t get much of the healing process, but we see how he calms down and adjusts to a normal life over the course of the movies when he’s out of the bad situation, which is pretty good by Disney standards. Cameron Boyce did an amazing job playing him (R.I.P Cameron) and seeing an abuse victim get comfortable within their own skin and getting the happy ending they deserve is always fun.

Harry Hook: Insane (affectionate), most fashionable drama queen ever, absolutely crazy, more than a few screws loose but in the best way possible, he’s hilarious.

So on the surface, Harry’s pretty simple. A dude who’s lost his marbles and flirts with everyone. He probably has some kind of moral compass, since he didn’t rip Mal’s throat out with his hook when she revealed her little stunt in D3, but it fell overboard at some point and couldn’t be found so nobody knows what it is except Harry himself. Also, he has his sane moments, like during that same confrontation in D3 I mentioned before where he says “And you, King Benny... you're probably gonna throw us all back inside.” It’s the first time I’ve heard him sound… not like Harry. It’s sombre and defeated, a little disappointed maybe? Either way it’s really good acting and it implies he can act completely “normal” but he just chooses not to, which makes me like him even more. He’s just a dude living his best life despite the circumstances he was born into.

Gil: adorable, hilarious, kinda clueless but in a good way.

I love characters that have no idea what’s going on half the time but are absolute sweethearts trying their best. He’s like- the opposite of his dad in every way and I’m living for it!

Gaston Jr and Gaston the third: I don’t have much to say on them, let alone separately, so they get a section together.

Honestly? I don’t remember having an opinion of them. They made Evie happy by wresting, which is cool so they get points for that. Seem like they’re trying to out-gentleman each other to win Evie’s heart and since they’re not being creepy assholes about it they are objectively better than their dad. Very much brawl over brains, the two of them, with their constant wrestling reminding me of Carlos and Jay except they’re both the muscle. Kinda cute sibling relationship, even if it’s in a VK-typical villain-flavored way.

Anthony Tremaine: squeeeee, my type is pretty boys who sigh in annoyance at everything, I guess? We only get scraps but I happily cradle them to my chest.

Uhmmm so Anthony’s personality is mostly up for imagination? The only canon information we have is that he’s most likely Anastasia’s only kid (someone on Tumblr pointed out that, in the scene with the wicked step-daughters, he’s referred to only as their cousin, not their brother) and he’s very bored with his cousins’ antics. Given A Twist In Time the potential drama is endless. Every time Anthony’s mentioned we’re reminded he’s pretty and has good style, and I love that for him. Dude lives on an isle of junk and still looks like a supermodel. Lots of room for my own ideas while still remaining within the realm of “could be canon” with just enough base in there that I’m not just creating an OC, and as a writer and artist that’s all I need tbh.

Hadie: cute, deserves better, I need more of him and Mal bonding

Mal’s half-brother, son of Hades, very cool. I like that he’s trying to turn good and having a hard time, because that’s very realistic for someone who grew up not knowing anything other than evil. Descendants 2 tried to tackle it with Mal, but failed miserably. We know Hades sucks as a parent in descendants (neglect is abuse) so that’s not gonna help him.

Dough: Awww he’s so cute with Evie 🥺

No really that’s it. He’s a nerd that gets the girl, has some very funny moments, but honestly most of his character is centered around Evie? And they’re cute together it’s not a bad thing but there isn’t much to analyze. He’s understandably pissed about someone like Chad getting all the girls while using them, but that’s also only ever seen in relation to Evie.

Chad Charming: what a bitch (derogatory), total coward, I hate him but he’s funny.

So I have no issue with characters who conduct themselves terribly (I love Audrey, (fanon) Anthony, Uma, and many others from many fandoms) if, and that’s a massive IF, they have a good reason for it. And I’ll count “because I can and I want to” as a good reason, because by that point you have someone who’s mean and owns it. I can appreciate the self-awareness and usually those characters are very extra so it’s entertaining. If not that, there needs to be a reason they are the way they are. Audrey has the pressure from her grandmother (and the borderline verbal abuse), Uma has the very real grievance of living in squalor on a run-down island full of the worst of humanity because she was born, what does Chad have? He’s spoiled. A spoiled brat. And he goes from that to an overtly whimpering coward with none of the pretense of superiority in any field. His one saving grace is that he’s a massive joke.

Diego De Vil, Clay Clayton, Gonzo, Jace and Harry Badun, Herkie, Aziz, Jonas, Lefou Deux, Li Shang Jr, everyone else I missed: no opinion, because they’re not relevant enough for the writers to give them a personality.

I have nothing I’m sorry. I barely remember reading their names and I don’t remember anything from the scenes they’re (mentioned) in to get an idea of what to talk about here.

That was… a lot lmao

Rescendants - The Crew

Uma: The captain of the Lost Revenge pirate crew, Uma is a fiercely determined leader who doesn’t take anyone’s shit, though with a soft spot for those that are close to her, like her girlfriend, Freddie, and her best friends, Darcy, Harry and Gil. She has a difficult history with Mal, including heartbreak and betrayal, and an equal, if not more, hostile relationship with her mother. She’s determined to show she can be the best without needing help from her mother’s magic.

Harry: The bastard child of Captain Hook, and Uma's first mate. An aggressive and violent young man with psychopathic tendencies, he's the one who gladly does most of the dirty work when pirating. Physical and verbal abuse from his father and older sister caused him to begin lashing out, even to this day he prefers a punch up instead of peaceful resolutions. He does show a softer and more vunerable side with his shipmates, especially his boyfriend Gil. He has an obsession with hooking things, and is terrified of being alone.

Gil: A big, buff golden retriever of a himbo, Gil is quite possibly one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, affectionate and kind to everyone around him. He uses his strength to assist his crew, but he’s a very gentle boy, especially with his boyfriend Harry and his little sister Gabi. He may be far from the sharpest tool in the shed, often lacking common sense, but he has a high level of emotional intelligence, able to help people work through their feelings surprisingly well, like the good boy he is.

Darcy: Uma’s right-hand woman, and sharing her bone to pick with the daughter of Maleficent, Darcy is unquestionably one of the toughest and most terrifying girls on the island, never afraid to put someone in their place, be that with sharp words or her fists. Darcy is one of the few lucky kids in the Isle to have a good, loving relationship with their villainous parent, and she inherited Oogie’s love of scaring. Though she cares deeply for and will do anything to protect those she cares about, she’s not one to be open about her feelings, though a certain Pumpkin prince may help change that.

Freddie: A smooth and sassy con artist, Freddie has the ability to talk just about anyone into just about anything. But with one the sharpest tongues on the Isle, she can also verbally destroy you if the mood hits her right. Despite this, she has a caring side that comes out especially with her girlfriend Uma, her little sister Celia and her father, Dr. Facilier, who taught her all her voodoo tricks. She may be slick, but she’ll never lie to the people she really cares about.

Evie: The Isle's best cat burglar, and the magical daughter of the Evil Queen. Due to her mother's constant reminders of beauty being an importance, the girl is very self conscious about her looks. Evie used to roll with Uma and her crew. After years of Mal manipulating and abusing the lot of them, she grew jealous of Uma, despite her being mistreated by their leader as well. Mal left her gang for dead, and in her grief, both Evie and Uma blamed each other for the abuse, and went their separate ways. Now she reluctantly works with the group in order to get revenge on Mal and to destroy the barrier.

Jay: The smooth-talking and sticky-fingered son of Jafar, Jay has a real knack for getting himself out of trouble with a few good lies. His theft skills made him a useful asset to anyone on the Isle, but here in Auradon, he’s starting to find his place in more honest pursuits, like Tourney. He has a soft spot for his friends, especially his lifelong best buddy, Carlos, though he rarely lets it show. He also has a knack for charming the ladies, though he finds the tables getting turned on him when he meets the daughter of Mulan.

Carlos: The fast-talking, dog-loving techie who just so happens to be the son of Cruella de Vil. The poor boy is more like an abandoned scruffy pup, berated and abused by his mother. He resorted to stealing to eat, since his mother wouldn't provide care for him. He's a petty thief who's got a motor mouth and a knack for making gadgets based off of junk he finds in the Isle. He's always willing to serve as a distraction, or help Jay with a scheme.

AAAAH PART 1 IS FINISHED! This was such a treat to work on with Weeby, and Artzy's been excited for it! Thank you so much to Weebs for helping make the summaries and for her letting me use her OC, Darcy. Make sure to reblog, reply, post and ask for more. @artzychic27 and @msweebyness

Real Names in “Descendants“

Here’s a rant + solution about the characters’ names in Descendants.

Who in his right mind could accept Lonnie’s name is just that? Mal makes sense for the explanation we were given, but Evie? Even assuming Ally is short for something, isn’t that’s a weird name? The books have stuff like Herkie, Lil’ Shang, Pin, Tiger Peony, Ginny Gothel and I don’t know how many more and while I get it’s about making them recognizeable as the children of certain characters, I do get it, I still think they’re bad.

So I decided to compile a list of presumable actual names of the Descendants kids, VK and AK alike that anyone could feel free to use in fics.

Two little notes before anything else:

the -son/-dottir patronimics I see sometimes in fics are North European and should be used only in the right context, avoided otherwise. In Ancient Greek the correct suffix is -ides (gender neutral), so Mal wouldn’t be Hadesdottir but Hadeides; similarly, Uma would be Ursulaides, and Ursula Poseidonides and so forth. Despite that, I assume Auradon would want to conform to the habit of fixed family names that is normal in modern Europe, so they’d make everyone adopt one, like Chad Charming, or use the place of origin, like Jordan of Agrabah.

The explanation I have in-universe for some names is that there's an obsession in Auradon with precising who their famous parents/relatives/family friends could be and many kids end up with nicknames tied to that. Either this or because names have power when it comes to magic, so real names are kept secret and known only by the most trusted people, but that wouldn’t get along with how magic works in the movies, nor with the fact Ben and Mal shared their middle names like it was no big deal (but then again, Ben could have a secret third name and Mal didn’t specify her first name is short for Maleficent). The first explanation is easier.

I’ve been working on this list for quite some time. As such, if you use this as reference it’s fine, but I’d like to be told at least, even in a note to this post and given credit if you pick one of my ideas that aren’t mainstream in the fandom.

Also, I may add to/modify this post later on, but without taking into account anything made after Descendants 3.

That said, VKs first:

Mal: we’ve been said Mal is just short for Maleficent and the daughter isn’t allowed to use the full name because she “didn’t deserve it”. Abusive and terrible, yet it fits. But I don’t think Hades would agree and in myths there is a Melinoe who is an Hades’ daughter, so Mal’s full real name could be Maleficent Bertha Melinoe Hadeides or just Melinoe Bertha Hadeides.

Jay: I saw Jayden around and, nope, it doesn’t work for me. Either Jayanth or Jayad (both mean “victorious one”) sound a lot better and more fitting for the general area Aladdin is set in. But, really, this page has tons of names starting with Jay, pick one from there. (also, for a proper surname you should check Arabic onomastic, which is complicated, so just use “of the Isle” or “of Agrabah”, unless you know the subject well. I don’t think Auradonians would bother to learn anyway)

Evie: oh, dear, my poor girl, what an atrocity. It could be short for anything like Evelyn, Evangeline (but the Evil Queen would never choose such a meek name, plus it’s tied to Tiana’s story), Evanna, Evalina, Evisse, all can work, but the one I prefer is Everhilde or Everild, which would call back to the Evil Queen’s real name, Grimhilde. On this note, I suppose Genevieve could work too with the “parent-children with same intials” trend.

Carlos: I already said I find weird he has a Spanish name when Cruella is British, and unless there are some Spanish roots somewhere in the de Vil lineage, his name should have been Charles. But recently I headcanoned his father could be Bruno Madrigal, so the Spanish name could stay (in the books it’s stated his middle name is Oscar, which @dragoneyes618 reminded me was also Bruno’s first-draft name), so, Carlos Oscar de Vil-Madrigal.

Uma: it’s a Hebrew or Hindi name and a weird fit for the granddaughter of Poseidon (yes, I am one of those who agrees Ursula is one of Poseidon’s children and thinks a name meaning “little she-bear” is a tad weird for a sea being). But, after all, Ariel is a Hebrew name too, so Uma fits the Little Mermaid lore and all is well.

The three Hook siblings (Harriet, Harry and Calista Jane) have the most normal and reasonable names of the whole franchise and I won’t dare to change them. Perhaps I’d argue Harriet and Harry are fem/male variants of the same name, but, really, there is worse in the franchise (and I guess, when she made up Harriet, Melissa de la Cruz had no idea they’d later create Harry for the next movies).

Gil: his real name could be Gillaume (variant of Guillaume) or Gilbert. Personally, I prefer the latter (like Gilbert Motier de La Fayette, you know, lol). His brothers’ names, unfortunately, fit with Gaston’s narcissism, so they can stay. The canon surname is LeGume, although I’m not sure where it comes from exactly as it’s never mentioned in either movie or live action as far as I remember.

Freddie: I think Frederique Facilier sounds great and she probably hates it. I read that in a fic but I don’t remember whose, maybe @ginnyrules27 or @hannahhook7744 or @dragoneyes618, feel free to correct me if it’s none of theirs.

Celia: it’s a name in its own good, used in both French and Spanish (fitting for New Orleans’ culture), but if we want, we can consider it short for Cecilia.

Ginny Gothel: assuming Gothel (like Yzma) was able to procreate and Ginny isn’t actually Cassandra’s daughter (I haven’t seen the series though so I don’t know much about her), Ginny is still an abbreviation, usually of Ginevra/Guinevere. I can’t fathom why Gothel’s name became a surname though, I’m at loss here, unless we are supposed to read it as Ginevra Gotheldottir (Rapunzel is a germanic tale, so this kind of patronimic fits), shortened Ginny Gothel.

Dizzy: I wrecked my brain on this. Drusilla or Desdemona. That’s it, that’s the top I could come up with. Drusilla Tremaine-Westergard, in my universe, to be precise.

The only other Tremaine cousin we have a canon name for is Anthony and I think it’s a perfectly fine name. Antoine if we set the story in pseudo-France.

Hadie: Hades had few children in the myths and Zagreus was the one I liked the most, that’s my reasoning. In myths, Zagreus is Persephone’s son but here it could be anyone’s, he’d still keep the Greek patronimic, so Zagreus Hadeides.

Squeaky and Squirmy Smee: those are 100% nicknames, it can’t be otherwise. In fact, in piracy, it’s pretty normal to have nicknames and aliases that are known more than regular names, like Calico Jack, Blackbeard, Big Murph and so on. The twins likely have normal names like Sullivan and Sean or something like that. In fact, their big brother is Sammy, short for Samuel, I assume, so it pretty much supports it.

Mad Maddy: while “mad“ is a mockery/title, Maddy should be short for Magda or Magdalene, but it’s used on its own too, so it’s your pick.

LeFou Deux: stupid name, like so stupid it can’t be real. Let’s pick a normal french name, like Denis LeFou, with the mockery he acts like father, they call him Le Fou Deux aka “twice as stupid”. Kids can be cruel.

Claudine Frollo: unfortunately, it’s an actual French name, but a religious zealot would maybe give her a double name, like Marie-Claudine.

Zevon and Yzla: I don’t know what to say here, I really don’t. Yzla sounds bad, that’s all I can say (but I admit Zevon has a nice ring). I accept suggestions.

AKs:

Lil’ Shang: first thing first, in China (and other Eastern countries) surnames come before names. So Li=surname Shang=name. Cleared that up, this name makes sense only as a nickname (which I hate). If we want it to start with S and an assonance with his father’s, we could pick Sheng (victory) or Shuang (clear and bright).

Lonnie: Lanying, which, mispronunciated, became Lonnie, it would make sense if said by kids first. (Fun fact: irl Lin Lanying was the name of a scientist, there’s also a Guo Lanying who is a soprano, both great women).

Herkie: oh, don’t make me start with this. This is one of the atrocious names that are clearly rip-offs of the parent’s names and I hate that. Hercules had lots and lots of children in the myths, from Megara in particular he had four: Therimachus, Creontiades, Ophitus and Deicoon. Pick whatever you prefer, I am partial to Therimachus, too difficult for Auradonians to enunciate, they started to call him Herkie as a nickname that stuck.

Tiger Peony: I’m certain I’m not the first who thinks a name like this is, like, the epitome of disrespectful. For the same reason, I admit I know nothing of the subject and ask if someone could tell what an appropriate name for her could be.

Ally: Allison Liddel (original Alice’s surname) or Kingsley (live action surname). Or another surname if she took her father’s (I am partial to the Tim Burton movies and ship Alice and the Hatter, so Allison Hightopp, but that’s just me).

Jordan: Joodah (or Joudah) meaning “generous“ or “of high qualities“ (as far as I could find, please feel free to correct me).

Artie: don’t ask me where I took it from, but in my head his full name is Arnault Pendragon (and he isn’t Guinevere’s son as Disney’s Arthur married another woman under the advice of Merlin, but this is all my headcanon).

Pin: Pinocchio’s son. Now, in Italy it is traditional to name children after parents or grandparents (I have one uncle and 5 cousins all named after my maternal grandfather and other 4 cousins after my grandmother, to say nothing of the ones who have them as middle names), so it wouldn’t be weird BUT! we don’t have names without final vowels, especially first names, in Italian, so he’d be called Pino. Which is also short for Giuseppe (Giuseppino) and I much prefer that (if they wanted to use Geppetto’s name it would have made sense too, and that he would have been nicknamed Geppettino > Tino).

Now, for the dwarves’ sons I picked German names with the same initials:

“Doc II” Dominic;

“Hap” Harold;

“Cheerful” Klemens;

“Gesundheit”/“Gus” Gustav;

“Bash” Bastian;

“Shy” Silas;

“Crabby” Conrad;

“Sleepy jr” Simon;

“Snoozy” Samuel.

Doug and Gordon are normal names and can stay.

Ruby and Anxelin Fitzherbert: I’m not even sure from where we got those names from for Rapunzel’s daughters, I seem to recall Ruby mentioned in Wicked World, maybe? Anyway, I don’t like either name. Anxelin is the name of a wine, that’s a very strange choice, and Ruby, uh, is too generic, I guess? There are so many german names to pick from, if we want to follow the pattern of same initial as the parents! Renate, Rayna, Reinheld, Richel, Roslin, Rowena... then Engelbertha, Eda, Erika, Evonne, Edith,... Just research a bit. If we really want to keep the original ones, Anxelin could be a deformation of something like Annegret or Analise, and Ruby could stand for Ruperta or Ruomhildi, although I prefer to call them Annika (same initials as Queen Arianna, Rapunzel’s real mother) and Roslin.

Opal: daughter of Mama Odie (what is it with those super-old women having teenage kids?!) can be Opal of the Bayou, I suppose. It has a nice ring, actually, although I don’t know what tie opal stones may have with voodoo.

Bobby Hood: usually, Bobby is short for Robert, which fits the area and the pattern. Robin is, at times, short for Robert, but I don’t think it’s the case here. The surname Locksley was discarded by Robin, provided it existed in the Disneyverse, but it’s worth remembering it.

This post will possibly be corrected expanded in the future and I appreciate further discussion, as long as all parties are respectful and thoughtful.

Carlos Madrigal

I read a theory, (by @silverloreley) that went through possible options for the VKs’ other parents. For Carlos, one idea was Bruno Madrigal (inspired in part by my fanfiction Jinxed!!!).

The idea being, Bruno got sent to the Isle, and then he and Cruella had Carlos. Carlos and Bruno do have some similar personality traits.

On the one hand, that’s not what’s going to happen in Jinxed, where Bruno got sent to the Isle.

On the other hand....I really like that idea.

What if Carlos was Bruno’s son?

Then Carlos de Vil would be Carlos Madrigal, ha.

Bruno shows up back at Encanto after 20 years with Carlos in tow. Carlos gets to meet his grandmother and aunts and uncles and cousins.

Now, Carlos canonically has a cousin named Diego de Vil (probably the son of Cecil de Vil). I also like to imagine Hunter and Ivy de Vil existing in the Descendants universe as well. So Carlos doesn’t really see the the Madrigals as family, at first. Except for his father.

Bruno and Pepa and Julieta spend all their time together. Carlos gets lumped in with Mirabel and Camilo a lot, since they’re about the same age. (Camilo: “You mean before Antonio was born I wasn’t the only boy?”)

Antonio is very excited to have a new tio and cousin. His new tio is spending all his time with his parents? Okay then! He’ll talk to his new cousin instead! He can talk to his pet dog for him!

Carlos feels awkward and out of place. He doesn’t know them. They’re loud. They’re happy. Julieta keeps fussing over him with food. Sure, he likes them, but he doesn’t feel like they’re family, not like his de Vil cousins.

Bruno, meanwhile, is struggling to A. reacclimate to his family after 20 years gone, B. get to know the entire new generation of nieces and nephews, C. readjust to having visions again after 20 years of not having them on the Isle (probably), and D. incorporate Carlos as part of the family.

Like, he grew up with his family. Then he got sent to the Isle. For 14-16 years, however old Carlos is, Carlos was Bruno’s only blood relative on the Isle, and Bruno did his best to take care of him. Carlos was his only family. Now they’re both back home (but is it home for Carlos?) and Bruno’s two separate families are now one...or they’re trying to be.

What would Carlos’ gift be? (Which Mirabel is not jealous about. Nope. Not at all.)

Then at some point, Carlos’ de Vil cousins show up.

hey, I noticed you posted about Diego DeVil in your Twitter series, and I've seen posts around mentioning him, so ig he's a canon character? in the books or something?

but how does that work when Cruella has no living family, or at least no family with the surname DeVil? Because that was the whole reason she didn't change her surname when she got married and instead made her husband change his. With the husband point, also. I've seen some people theorising for who Carlos' dad is, but wouldn't it be Mr DeVil?

Or am I just misremembering which things from the original book didn't or did get in to the film?

I'm guessing the pepper thing also didn't get into the film because I could see that as a very easy gag Descendants could have used for Carlos, as either yet another "damn this kid has it shit" if he hates it, an auradon-kids-think-stuff-the-vks-do-is-weird thing, or a Cruella-wants-off-the-isle-so-she-can-put-pepper-on-her-desserts because lack of stuff on the Isle thing

yeah he's a canon character! he's mentioned in the books, and there isn't a lot that's said about him, except that he's Cruella's nephew and has a mohawk. the rest is just my own expansion on canon lol bc i think it could be a cool dynamic and also bc it shows that not all kids of the Isle have some villainous or heroic amibition, like my Diego is just a musician and cares about Carlos

canonically, Cruella does have family, her brother, Cecil B. de Vil, who appears in 101 Dalmatians: the series, so Diego is probably his son. there's also possibly another sibling, because she has (also in the series) a niece, Ivy, but Cecil is not her father. there's also Cruella's cousin, the scientist. the whole de Vil clan overall are criminals and villains

idk how to say this except for this: u don't need to get married to have children lol. we don't see Carlos' father ever, so it's clear he's not involved. and if there's no father, the child usually takes mother's last name. like the only thing we can tell for sure is that he's white, because Carlos himself is mixed and Cruella is Black

im either bugging or just don't know something because i don't understand the pepper thing sorry

#thank u for the ask!#asks #raspberry-gloaming #fighting the urge to say 'me for example' about the last name thing lmao

Mal *smiles walking over and hugs her*Thanks, mom, I knew I could count on you.

Maleficent *shakes her head as soon as Mal is out of the room* the things I do for love...

This is Cruella in the Descendants movie.

Cruella De Vil is played by Wendy Raquel Robinson, a Black woman, and her son Carlos is played by a biracial actor with a Black parent.

But, if you search Tumblr for Descendants' Cruella, you would never know that. Because the majority of the Cruella posts that are tagged for Descendants have Emma Stone, a fully white woman and no sign of Carlos' Black half. I saw a total of one post with some lightskint FC as his father (I guess to make up for mentally recasting his mother as a white woman).

HCs and AUs abound erasing one of the sprinkle of Black women that crapshow series bothered to give a paycheck to. It don't surprise me, because the Black girls been complaining about the Descendants fandom for YEARS, but it is annoying. I thank God the kids in my life at that time never wasted their time in that antiblack media and racist fandom.

I made myself sad with my silly little Hunger Games AU for Descendants and now it’s your problem.

Staring Cruella and Ivy de Vil.

I’m gonna continue this. I hope.

Cruella wakes up with an already raging migraine: Her head feels like it is enclosed in rhythmically tightening iron maiden mask. Huh, Iron maiden. Cruella is fairly sure she designed an outfit based on that, once.

And if she didn’t, she really should have.

Capitol would have loved that, before they figured out what she actually wanted to say. If they ever did.

She doesn’t smirk at that thought.

She considers staying in her bed for today, forever and ever. That looks fun, doesn’t it? Cruella de Vil, Hunger Games Victor and fashion icon, reduced to a rag doll incapable of leaving her own bed. She laughs, harsh and loud, and gets up from the bloody bed.

Her bathroom is suspiciously well stocked: New makeup products and hair care and skin masks, even the lipsticks she broke apart in affect are replaced. Someone cleaned up her mirror as well. Fucking mirror.

Cruella puts on her favourite shade of lipstick and then a damning thought crosses her mind: „Carlos, baby,“ she calls out, hoping that her baby boy is home and hears her, „Can you tell mommy what day it is?“

As she waits for answer, she anxiously brushes through her hair, all tangled up. She makes sure the strokes hurt, and soon, she can barely see through her tears. That’s good–

The floors of her Victor House creak as her little son comes near, led by the hand by his big cousin Ivy. Both dolled up in her signature colours, decided decades ago and miles away. She can’t stand it, not again.

„No no no no no, don’t tell me, don’t tell me, DON’T TELL ME, GO AWAY–––“

(She made her little boy cry)

Only after taking Carlos to a different room, Ivy interrupts her desperate litany with quivering voice: „It is the Reaping day, Auntie.“

Cruella presses her nails into her palms, and tries to smile for her niece: „Your lips are a bit blue, Ivy, darling. Do you want some of my lipstick?“

„Yes, I’d like that, Auntie.“

So Cruella wills her hands to stop shaking for just a little moment and holds Ivy’s chin in place, painting her lips for her. Sure contours and bold colours– „Just like you, my dear.“

„Thank you, Auntie.“

Ivy’s hands are cold as the death herself, and Cruella is sure, so are hers.

It is time to go. Put on your dress, your make-up and your smile, and go.

They might as well have been playing funeral rites for the short walk from Victor’s Village to the square, as far as Cruella is concerned.

Then, Ivy has to go. None of them says good bye – It feels so final, that. Cruella wants to pretend for another moment.

At least her Carlos is not of reaping age yet. How old is he? She’d ask, but her face feels frozen. She’s not sure she can speak.

Any sound, and the world shatters – there is no sound at all, it seems. Just thousands upon thousands of District Three children holding their breaths and each others hands. Cruella presses her son closer to her and doesn’t look for Ivy in the crowd.

(It wouldn’t be hard to find her, bold red and blinding white and damning black. It wouldn‘t be hard at all.)

(She must look like Cruella’s mirror.)

Heels click across the podium, and each step drives a hot nail through Cruella’s temples.

If she wanted, she could recite each word with the hostess. She wishes she could forget them instead.

„Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds ever be in your favour!“ Cruella’s cheeks hurt when she forces herself to smile and recite the eulogy with the hostess.

(If she had not been so damn clever and cunning – so full of herself and of will to live – If she hadn’t spoken, if she could just accept her fate and her place in the world – if she hadn’t tried to change it –I F SHE JUST DIED LIKE THEY WANTED HER TO)

She isn’t surprised when the hostess reads Ivy’s name.

It was always going to happen, wasn’t it?

Ever since she showed Capitol what they are, and refused to stop. She held the mirror until it shattered and when it cut her hand bloody. Literally and figuratively. She screamed, with her voice, and with her art. She screamed until her brother died, and then some more.

She had sentenced her family to die a long time ago.

She catches Ivy’s eyes: The girl walks calmly, her head held high. No sign of trembling from the morning, and cold, cold eyes. She can see something brewing behind them, little clockwork components turning and falling into place.

Click. Click. CLICK.

Cruella de Vil stands up and starts applauding her niece, their perfectly painted lips in joyless smiles. And if that doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will.
