OC PRIDE CHALLENGE 2025 ━━ week three: queer culture / day fifteen: lgbtqia+ visage & day nineteen: queer history

At over 500 years old, Belle has lived as many people throughout the centuries. In many of those lives, she has met artists both big and small, and become everything from a lover to a close friend to a sponsor to them. Some, like Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol, she intentionally sought out because she remembered them from her previous life as Alice Gibbons. Others, like Gwen John, Marie Laurencin, and Marsden Hartley, she met by sheer accident by choosing to live in and immerse herself in cultures and countries where the art scene was booming and revolutionary. These connections left her with many priceless art pieces- paintings, sculptures, and writings that she either inspired, commissioned, or received as gifts. Here are just five of the many pieces she owns from queer artists. BTW, she used different names when she knew most of these people. Belle is used here for edit convenience.

OC Pride Challenge 2025 → Day 25 - LGBTQIA+ Tropes

↳ Jayla Clark and Steph Quested (Mutants) & Kris Fletcher and Heather Mitchell (Inhumans)

Rainbow Lens: A character has a queerness-unrelated trait that can be interpreted as a metaphor for queerness.

"This character is different. There's something about them, something that has a huge impact on their life and shapes who they are, but they have to keep it a secret. If anyone finds out they could be rejected by their loved ones, socially ostracized, or worse. They might hate this part of themselves and just want it to go away or they might embrace it and lament the fact that no one can ever know."

OC Pride Challenge 2025 → Day 24 - LGBTQIA+ Tropes

↳ My Twilight OCs & the Cullens

Cast Full of Gay: When most of the characters in a work are gay or not straight.

"The overwhelming majority of fictional works center around heterosexual characters, with anyone else being a token minority or nonexistent. Some gay-themed media, however, does the exact opposite by making most (if not all) of the characters gay or otherwise non-heterosexual."

OC Pride Challenge 2025 Day 13 - Reclaim - Your OC takes back something that was taken from them—like their name, identity, life, confidence, or a word. What are they reclaiming, and why does it matter to them?

Across the events of the first season, Rowan takes several steps to reclaim their true identity and shed the false persona of Matilda Prentiss that the Curse gave them - these are three such moments.

WEEK ONE: Characters

(July 24th - 30th)

DAY ONE - Mal. aka, magic. July 24th.

“Prick a finger, prick it deep, send our enemy off to sleep”. Mal loves to show off her magic to her friends. Does your OC have any magical abilities? Are they connected to anything magical?

DAY 2 - Jay. aka, hobbies. July 25th.

Jay adores Tourney. What hobby does your OC love? Drawing like Mal? Gaming like Carlos? Show us what your OC does when they’re not studying.

DAY 3 - Evie. aka, fashion. July 26th.

Evie is the fashion icon of the franchise, and so today is about showing off your OC’s style. What do they wear daily? What’s their coronation outfit like?

DAY 4 - Carlos. aka, animals. July 27th.

We all love Dude, but Carlos loves him the most. Does your OC have a pet? Or a special connection to animals?

DAY 4 - Audrey. aka, rivals. July 28th.

"Water under the bridge?" "Totes!" Whether it's Mal vs. Audrey or even Evie vs. Chad, everyone in Auradon has their issues with someone - that's life. Does your OC have someone they don't get along with at all? Maybe they're rivals, maybe they're enemies. Regardless, show us your OCs biggest advisory.

DAY 6 - Ben. aka, love interest. July 29th.

Yesterday we had rivals, today we have lovers. Who holds your OC’s heart? Show us your OC’s love interest! Or if they don’t have one, use this day to show us how your OC feels about love. Is it real? Do they believe in love at first sight?

DAY 7 - Jane. aka, beauty. July 30th.

Jane is stunning, and her insecurities in the first movie are heartbreaking. Today is about what makes your OC feel beautiful. Is it a certain outfit? A hair cut or colour? Maybe it’s a song they put on. Let us know!

WEEK TWO: RANDOM

(July 31st - August 6th)

DAY 8 - Rotten to the Core. aka, soundtack. July 31st.

Happy Anniversary! It’s been exactly 10 years since Descendants first aired on Disney Channel and we first heard the iconic soundtrack. Nearly every character has had their chance to show off their vocal prowess. What about your OC? Are they a singer? Whether they are or not, use this day to give your character their very own moment in the musical spotlight.

DAY 9 - Family Day. aka, family. August 1st.

"You do not want to at my house during dinner time." Family is different for everyone, nothing shows that more than the diverse familial situations shown in this franchise. So, how does your OC get along with their family? Take this day to show off your OCs family, or how they get along with them. Maybe introduce us to their original story? Or go crazy and show us how they act at Family Day in Auradon. The choice is yours.

DAY 10 - If Only. aka, location. August 2nd.

"This room is amazi-" "Gross!" "Gross. Amazingly gross..." From the Enchanted Lake to the Tourney field. From the dorms to Evie's castle. Everyone has some place they consider their safe space. Does your OC have one of these too? Introduce us to it in the form of an aesthetic or with a little blurb about it, for example!

DAY 10 - Tourney. aka, merch. August 3rd.

For today's challenge, let's say, for example, your OC is real and they have merch for them in the real world. Or, hey, maybe they're incredibly famous in-universe! In any case, use this day to show everyone some merch for your character! Dolls, Funkos, shirts, CDs, and so much more - there is so much to choose from!

DAY 12 - Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo. aka, objects. August 4th.

Whether it's Fairy Godmother's wand, Mal's spell book, or Evie's magic mirror - the people of Auradon tend to have some kind of object that holds a lot of value to them. It doesn't matter if it's magical or purely sentimental, take this prompt to show us something (or things) that your OC couldn't bear to loose. Examples could include, diaries, stuffed animals, jewelry, etc.

DAY 13. VKs. aka, friends. August 5th.

"'Cause we're rotten..." "To the core!" When you don't get along with family and your love is non-existent, friends can be a lifeline for you. This franchise has given us more than enough evidence that friendship means everything and that in can be found in the weirdest places and with the most unlikely people. Who does your OC consider a friend, who are their best friends?

DAY 14th - Once Upon A Time. aka, happy endings. August 6th.

Every story has a start and an end, we can only hope that the ending will be satisfactory for us. What does your OCs ending look like? Is is happy? Or maybe even tragic. Does your OC get everything they ever wanted? Or does someone take their happily ever after
