The Villain was Mal: The century long Did I mention debate.

To this day Audrey and Ben are being pitted against each other in the Did I mention scene when neither of them were at fault.

Ben was the direct victim, he was unable to control his actions and did something he wouldn't even had done had he not been drugged and NOBODY out of all the people who knew him for years found this out of character or stood up for him. They didn't pull him aside afterwards to ask what the hell he was doing or if he was okay, knowing he was pretty much completely unprotected from magic and the VK girly is walking around with a spell book.

Audrey was the indirect victim, she was publicly humiliated by her boyfriend and watched people she was friends with cheer him on and the girl he's doing this with is the daughter of your family's enemy. You were visibly destressed and the same thing with Ben, nobody cares, nobody asks. So you do the only thing you can do to try and save face and find another date. She's got her heartbroken, she'd probably feel more humiliated even trying to ask Ben about it and it doesn't help all of her friends are cheering them on. She at this point doesn't even know what was really going on.

Ben ends up in this borderline abusive relationship where he's afraid to say no to his girlfriend/fiance and everyone including his parents holds her opinion of more value than his as king. Whenever he's being abused by magic, which happens in all three movies nobody (D1-D2) Sticks up for him they either don't care or blame him for actions he had no control over.

Audrey is shunned from Auardon and is blamed by her family for failing to secure the king as if they didn't have a genuine relationship and she doesn't have feelings. She falls into a depression and has fallen behind in school and questions her self worth because all of the people who were her friends or looked at her in awe were now asking "What is she doing here?" for showing up to a birthday party that in any other circumstances she would've been invited. How was she not supposed to tie her self worth in dating Ben when people started treating her like a waste of space when she wasn't with him?

In conclusion, after years we need to realize that this situation was neither of their faults, they had been used and manipulated in a plan that was barely undone because nothing was every clarified between the two. The ending of their relationship was forced onto them and consequently the destruction of any friendship they could've had. I don't want to be like "blame it all on Mal" but if we're going back and forth between blaming Ben and Audrey, then yes we need to blame Mal. She created the direct situation for it to happen, benefited from it entirely, lied about what actually happened (saying she spelled Ben for love) and she herself never tried to make amends or actually explain the situation. Mal spelled him taking away his right of action and she clearly wasn't sorry about what happened to Audrey because she insults her right after the did I mention scene when at this point she doesn't know anything about her. She further in my opinions shows a lack of actual remorse when she continues to try and spell Ben later on and when she gives up on magic gaslights him into doing what she wants (she doesn't take no for an answer.) (That's a whole different conversation but okay Mal, Audrey is the shallow one and Evie is better even though everybody knew Evie was only interested in Chad because he was a prince.)

Today on “random details about the Descendants movies that probably only I care about”: why does Beast have glasses?

Does the actor need them? I haven’t seen him with glasses anywhere else.

Whether or not Beast is wearing his glasses varies from scene to scene and how he interacts with them. I would just called them ‘reading glasses’ but there’s there’s no consistency with the way they’re handled to suggest an actual function to them:

He takes them off in the very first scene of the first movie and puts them in his jacket pocket, he’s not wearing them at Family Day until he pulls them out while he’s blaming Ben, and then he’s wearing the glasses for the whole Coronation (except for the part where Maleficent took them off of him).

Beast’s wearing his glasses at the Cotillion, takes them off in surprise when Ben announces the barrier’s closure, has them off when he tries to talk to Ben, but he has the glasses back on by the time Ben climbs out of the water.

In D3, Beast is wearing the glasses for Ben’s proposal to Mal, lacking the glasses at the Terrible Meeting, also lacking his glasses in deleted images where he and Belle fall asleep, and then he has his glasses back on for the engagement party and “Break This Down.”

So in conclusion, what is the deal with these glasses?

Character growth is Harry Hook going from moping around because he lost the race for the Lost Revenge which means Uma is the captain, to-

FUCK YEAH! I'M HER FIST MATE! I KNOW YOU'RE ALL JEALOUS OF ME!

auradon prep should’ve had uniforms it would’ve been so funny to see the c4 completely isle-ise them likeee imagine they put their crests on the back of the blazers (when they wear them) and jay rips his sleeves off all his shirts and carlos makes all the trousers into shorts and mal refuses to wear the skirts and evie rolls hers up bc it’s knee length he tf is she supposed to move and none of them tie their ties correctly…… we were so robbed

Sometimes (every single day) I just think about how we were ROBBED of having long curly hair Carlos.

Like I understand that this specific color would probably burn his hair but I need his curls to be there Tell me, what was the point in NOT using a curly wig???

I feel like these two pictures alone really encompass their presence in the movies. Be confused, be dramatic, do nothing actually useful.

"This is between you and me Mother."

aka Mal's about to go HAM on her mom who didn't expect Mal to go full demi-god

[umasbraids]

that being said I'm not actually always opposed to conflict free fluff I am just opposed to the characters having their claws filed down for it. you can stick them in a coffee shop au it should just still feel like you sat the two worst most insane people on earth in a starbucks

Reading a book about pirates tradition and their rules, cultures, etc and realizing Uma becoming a pirate captain is totally fit for her element and hereditary powers as a sea witch, bc here they says “Pirates make the contract about onboard rules and each crew’s jobs and who wants to join them has to sign it or go to someone else” so I do think Uma and Harry have made their own contracts for crew when they built the Lost Revenge.
