someone can please talk abuot this scene?

Audrey: Hey! You’re Maleficent’s daughter, aren’t you? Yeah, you know what? I totally do not blame you for your mother trying to kill my parents and stuff. Oh, my mom’s Aurora. Sleeping-

translate: Hi, I just wanted you to know, my partner might want to give you a chance, but I don't trust you because you are being raised by the woman who cursed my mom when she was a freaking tiny baby, captured my dad and verbally abused him, and caused a lot of pain to my grandparents and my parents .

Mal: Beauty! Yeah, I’ve heard the name. You know, and I totally do not blame your grandparents for inviting everyone in the whole world but my mother to their stupid christening.

translate: Yes, but she did it because you disrespected her. This is a completely justified reason to curse a baby who is, like, about a month old.

“Ben! Y/n! Come join us.” Evie waved over the royal siblings

“I- uh actually have some stuff I got to do. But Ben go ahead.” Y/n smiled at the Vk’s then looked to her brother nodding for him to join them.

“Wait! Y/n.” Ben looked to her worriedly

Y/n smile to reassure him. “Don’t, ok.I’ll be fine. I just need to be alone for a bit.”

“What about what we talked about?” he asked before she could leave.

Y/n pulled him over a little ways away from the Vk’s and whispered to him, “Our rooms are right next to eachother. Ben, we even have a door that just goes to the other’ room. So we’ll talk tonight.”

“Be safe.” Ben said reluctantly letting her go off alone.

“I will. You know I can take care of myself.” Y/n winked at Ben

The VK’s all watched the two siblings have their hushed conversation. After a  bit, Ben headed over to sit next to Mal at their table. They did all find it suspicious how Y/n headed off into the woods alone and that Ben kept sneaking glances back at her retreating form.

^          ^          ^

“Hey, you ready to talk?” Ben asked from the open doorway connecting their rooms together.

“Yeah” she told him turning in her desk chair

“So I was thinking maybe the VK’s could help.” he told her moving into the room, sitting on her bed facing her.

“Help with what?” Y/n asked tilting her head

“Help us figure out who your parents are.” Ben explained

Y/n nodded “that could work, they know all the Villians.”

“That and they’re concerned for you.” Ben stated

Y/n smiled letting out a breath “I’ll talk to them tomorrow. It’s Saturday so they’ll come over to my room anyway. Just like every Saturday.”

^         ^       ^

The next morning Y/n headed over to Evie and Mals dorm room. Y/n knocked on the door after hearing an ‘it’s open’ she entered. So she turned the nob and entered “Hey, girl.”

“Hey” Mal and Evie spoke at the same time

After some silence, Evie couldn’t take anymore. “Well, I’m gonna just cut to the chase. We’re worried for you.”

Y/n smiled at them mumbling an ‘I know’. “Ben’s gathering Jay and Carlos an then we’ll explain what’s been going on with me. I promise.”

 “Y/n!” Mal yelled as she caught sight of the girl she has been looking for.

“Hey Mal” Y/n greeted with a soft smile. She slowed down so the purple haired girl could catch up to her. “Whats up?”

Mal took a deep breath before answering. “We figured out who your birth father is.”

“Really? Who?” Y/n asked, trying not to get her hopes up or look too desperate.

“Hades” Mal told her, alittle anxious to see her reaction to the news.

Y/n nodded in understanding but also because she didn’t know what to say. “Wow, uh ok. Thank you guys for looking into this for me. It means alot.” She thanked Mal.

“There’s something else.” Mal spoke nervously about what she’s gonna tell the princess.

“Hmmm?” Y/n made a noise for her to know to continue speaking.

“Look Y/n, what I’m about to tell you only Evie knows. Not even Jay or Carlos know, and I’d like to keep it that way. At least for now.” Mal explained while also pulling Y/n over to the side of the castle where they could talk in private.

“Mal, if you don’t want people to know what your about to tell me I promise I won’t tell a soul. Not even my brother.” Y/n promised

Mal smiled gratefully “I appreciate that. A lot.”

“So what’s on your mind?” Y/n asked

“You know how we just clicked when I first came here to Auradon?” she asked the younger Florian.

Y/n nodded to the VK. She remembered it well, her parents were worried that the daughter of Maleficent would rub off on her to much, and with Y/n already being rebellious they kept a watchful eye on the two sometimes. “Yeah. I consider you like a sister Mal.”

“What if I told you we kinda are? Like by blood.” Mal asked

“What?!” Y/n whisper yelled in shock and confusion. 

“Hades is my father to. He was never around, he and Maleficent didn’t get along so he left and never looked back.” Mal explained to her half sister

“Aw, Mal I’m sorry.” Y/n said before bringing Mal into a tight hug.

Mal hugged back for a few moments before they both pulled apart. “It sucked but don’t worry about it. I will admit if I found this out when I first got here I would have hated you. He tried and succeed in giving you a better life and didn’t even try to be there for me. But he wasn’t there for eithe r of us. Being mad at you wouldn’t be fair to you, it’s not like you had a say or even knew. Plus I already consider you my sister, my family. An now its just even more real.” she laughed out of happiness.

“I consider you a sister as well, and part of my family. An who knows we might become even more family one day.” Y/n winked, which made Mal blush hard.

“Jay” Carlos nudged his long haired friend with his elbow

“Hmmm” Jay hummed in acknowledgment but not even glancing to see what his friend wanted from him.

“Look over to your right” Carlos told him, still elbowing him.

“Why?” Jay asked in an annoyed tone due to Carlos’ bugging

“Your crush is there.” Mal smirked not looking up as well

“I don’t have a crush” Jay grumbled

Mal scoffed looking up as Jay did. “Then what do you call you infatuation with Cinderella’s daughter?”

“I tease her. Flirt with her its nothing.” Jay stated with a shrug of his shoulders 

“You enjoy it” Evie pointed out

“And not for menacing reasons” Mal added

Jay sighed “Can we drop this?”

“NO” Mal, Evie, and Carlos all said at the same time loudly.

“Fine, um. Yes, ok. I like her or at least I think I do. We never got these kinds of feelings back on the Isle. But I do, I really do believe that I love her.” Jay explained how he felt, or at least how he thinks he feels.

Evie smiled “You should tell her.”

“And nows your chance.” Carlos butted in

“What?” Jay quickly turned to look around, taking a quick glance to where his friends said she was.

“She’s right over there.” Evie pointed subtly towards where the daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming’s (Now King) daughter stood talking with her best friend The daughter of Ariel and Prince (Again Now King) Eric and her brother Chad. Well till her brother Chad stormed off with what looked like a pissed-off expression.

“Go get the girl.” Mal nodded towards the girl but kept eye contact with Jay.

Jay shook his head slightly panicked ”What? No. I’m not ready to do that.”

“Yes, you are.” Carlos encouraged

“Because we say you are” Mal added

“So you’re gonna go and tell her how you feel.” Evie smiled excitedly for her friend, Jay of all people to have someone to love as they all have.

“An see if she feels the same way.” Carlos rubbed Jay’s shoulder in support before continuing. “An if she doesn’t then at least you tired.”

“At least you’ll know to.” Mal spoke softly, not wanting to ruin any hope he might have.

“But I’m pretty sure she ikes you back.” Evie excitedly

“Really?” Jay asked with slight excitement in his eyes

“YES!” the 3 of them screamed but not loudly enough to get the two princesses’ attention.

“Now go!” Mal shooed him

“Ok, ok. Fine.” Jay relented and got up and walked over towards his crush.

“Hey, Y/n.” Jay greeted once he was close enough for her to hear without having to yell.

“Hello, Jay.” Y/n smiled at him. Upon seeing Jay’s arrival Y/n’s best friend gave a knowing smile before leaving the princess and the young ex-thief alone.

“Nervous actually.” Jay admitted

Y/n raised an eyebrow “You nervous?” What ever for?”

“Haha princess” he teased

“What’s wrong Jay? Seriously.” Y/n asked with a less playful attitude

Jay took a deep breath “I have something to ask you.”

“Oh really”

The thought of telling Y/n about his feelings is very nerve-racking. Maybe he could stall, flirting could work. “You look mighty beautiful today”

“Thank you” Y/n blushed but also felt a little confused. She thought he would’ve meant he was gonna tell her something that was worthy of his so-called nerves.

Jay smirked feeling more comfortable. Then he decided to lean in next to her ear. “Your dress is stunning- but I do think it would look better on my bedro-”

Y/n leaned back enough to look at his face, lightly slapping his chest. “You finish that and I swear Jay-”

“You’ll do what princess? I’d love to hear how you would make me stop talking.” Jay wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

“Jay!” she squealed

“Am I making you blush princess?” Jay teased

“Yes” she nodded immediately

Jay nodded confidently “Good. That was the plan.”

“Well, if we’re done here I guess I’ll be going now.” Y/n said starting to turn away to leave.

“No” Jay rushed out, stopping her from leaving. “That’s not why I came over here.”

“Oh?” she questioned, Y/n was hoping there would be more.

“I come over here to get your opinion on something.” he stated vaguely

Y/n turned to fully face the son of Jafar singling for him to continue. “Ok. Go ahead and ask what you wanna ask Jay.”

“How.. How do you feel about me?” Jay asked with a wobbly voice.

“Like- friend wise or…” Y/n questioned, shifting on her feet.

“Or more?” he added but it still came out as a question.

“Oh…”

“If you don’t it’s fine.”

“No! Jay, it wasn’t that kind of ‘oh’” Y/n cut in quickly

“Oh?” that answer perked Jay up

“We should probably get off the ‘ohs’” the princess joked

“Yeah” he laughed

“So you’re asking me if I like like you correct?” Y/n asked for final clarity. An teasing him for his earlier flirting.

“Y-yeah” Jay stuttered

“Well, Jay of the Isle.” Y/n smiled playfully, lightening the anxious atmosphere. “Yes. I do like like you.”

Jay’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He couldn’t believe that she just said she liked him back to his face. “Really?”

Y/n blushed even harder than she already was, with a big smile on her face. A hint of embarrassment as well at what she was about to admit. “Jay I’ve had a crush on you for a while now.”

“Seriously?” Jay asked, again. Still in shock from her confession.

“Am I gonna have to spell it out for you?” she laughed but it was full of obvious nerves

Jay recovered from his initial shock before continuing. “NO, your not. But can I show you my response?”

“Sure.” Y/n agreed no problem. That’s when Jay started leaning in. “Wait, Jay what are you-” she started to quickly as Jay wrapped his right arm around her waist. Tugging her closer. Lifting his left arm up to cup her cheek, pulling her in and kissing her.

“That show you how I feel?” Jay asked once he broke the kiss. Resting his forehead against hers.

“Defifently.” Y/n nodded in agreement

“Good.” Jay smiled leaning back in to continue the kiss.

Carlos was never really able to abandon Cruella. He carries her colours in his clothes, her marks. He doesn't understand why. Carlos doesn’t understand why every time Evie sews him a new jacket, he feels compelled to paint those damned Dalmatian spots against the white leather.

Nor does he understand why he must obsessively keep the same colour palette when dressing. He just knows he has to. It's familiar. Feels like home.

Carlos is still wary of dogs; Dude is the only exception.

One time, in winter, while strolling around Auradon, he saw a girl walking a beautiful golden retriever. He doesn’t know where the thought came from, but he did think, “That fur would make a very nice and warm shawl.” He immediately lowered his head and walked back to his dorm quietly.

The thoughts are always there, though. Sometimes he feels like he is in his fur closet, trapped, and hurting from a beating his mother gave him.

Sometimes he feels like he is in the streets again, jumping on rooftops and stepping on clean laundry with his muddy boots.

Sometimes he craves it. He doesn't want to go back, obviously, but he misses the routine, the familiarity of it all. He will deny it until he dies, but he misses home just like Mal does.

He still has the Isle in his mind, constantly. He thinks about the fun he used to have there. Carlos remembers stealing candies, apples, scarves... He remembers the thrill he felt. Life is not like this anymore. Life is different in Auradon.

At moments, he is disgusted. The colourful clothes, the bright blue sky... He goes out, anyway, and puts on the best smile he has.

On one particular family day, Carlos could barely believe his eyes. Across the field, the stupid Dalmatians were licking some food off a plate that was offered to them by none other than Anita Radcliffe, the mutt keeper. Carlos sank his nails into his sweaty palms. The voices were stronger than ever: "Skin it!" "Make a coat!" "Spots! Spots! Oh, such beautiful spots!"

Carlos couldn't trust himself to come near the dogs that evening.

When his eyes crossed with Anita and Roger, they were afraid. Of what? Him? He chuckled to himself; it did feel kinda nice... but Carlos does not allow himself to savour fear anymore, not like he used to.

Chad Charming made a fuss with Ben when they were training one day. One of their teammates fell and got badly hurt. Chad swears that he saw Carlos laughing under his helmet. Ben shrugged it off, saying, "Carlos is a good kid; he would never." Charming was not convinced.

What can he say? He's just an Isle kid, anyway. And he chose good! It's not like Carlos has ONE evil bone in his body... right?

HONESTLY, REAL.

On here is the only place I’ll admit it, cause I’ve said weirder on here, but the Descendants movies soundtracks are honestly a vibe to listen to sometimes.

It is a bit of a cringy movie series sometimes.. but some of the music IS pretty good imo

VK Hierarchy

Due to Maleficent's position as ruler of the Isle, Mal is automatically considered at the top of the food chain. Mal first came onto the streets at 10 as an enforcer for her mother. As the years went on she made a name for self by being ruthless, Mal also started to put a gang together and went off on her own, Maleficent's territory slowly became more known as Mal's. Though Mal does still live in Bargin Castle and does report to her mother, however she has stopped being an enforcer and has made her own name for herself instead of just being Maleficent's enforcer. The Fae Syndicate is one of the most dangerous gangs on the isle and controls a large territory.

The Fae Syndicate is closely followed by The Burbers and the two Pirate Crews The Burbers are a large gang and they hold a lot of territory, they are lead by Yasmine daughter of Jafer and Jay's twin, Yasmine is a formidable woman who earned her place by killing the former leader of the Burbers after he broke sanctum. Her second is Hugo Rourke, who is know for his sheer strength and the fact that he is loyal to the bone.

Both Uma's and Harriet's Pirate Crews have a decent amount of territory, they also have access to the only fresh food supply and they control all the docks on the Isle. Uma's crew control the left side of harbour town from the dark cliffs and Ursula's to the barge docks in the centre of harbour town. They also stretch up enough to control some of the edges of the town proper. Harriet's crew control the right side of harbour town from the Jolly Rodger and Hook's Inlet to the barge docks. They also control some of the edges of the town proper

The Lost Children and the Merchant Punks are next, they garner a lot of respect and fear. The Lost Children, led by Anthoney Tremaine, because they are the oldest on the Isle and had to cut their place out, to be seen as more than just extensions of their parents, the Lost Children are also different because they only except those who were born with the first two years on the isle.

The Merchant Punks, led by Leo Silver, are a large gang with a large territory, they control the majority of the Bazaar and the shops so you don't wan to anger them less you lose access to most things on the isle. 

The gangs are mainly on equal footing though and as things like territory and supplies and allies are always changing there is no sure fire way to know who is better than the others, though all the gangs like to say they are the best.

Heart Of A Villain: Chapter 1

Ben Ben was anxious about the bombshell he was about to drop on his parents. And really, it wasn’t just his parents, it was all of Auradon. He was restraining himself from fidgeting when his parents entered the room. 

“Look at our grown up son. He’s going to be a king at 16! The only good decision I made before entering my forties was marrying your mother.” Adam addressed the last part to the boy himself.

“I hope to make you proud, and maybe my first proclamation will start the process.”

“And what exactly is your first proclamation?” His mother, Belle, sent a questioning look in his direction.

“I have decided to bring over four children from the Isle,” he said, holding up his hand to prevent interruption, “The children of Jafar, Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil and, and..Maleficent.” A simultaneous gasp fell from the lips of his parents.

“MALEFICENT? Son, she’s the worst villain in the land. I can not and I will not stand by while her child causes havoc all over our kingdom. We promised our citizens a peaceful life, a life in which they can rebuild what they have lost at the hands of the villains. Letting even their children into our kingdom will destroy everything we’ve worked for.”

“Isn’t the Isle also a part of our kingdom? The villains might have harmed us, but their children haven’t. They deserve to have a chance at living a normal life, a comfortable one, the life we have been living for so long.” The young Prince argued back, and realised, that no matter what his parents, or even the rest of Auradon said, he wouldn’t back down.

“Do you realise the extent of the impact the project would have on our kingdom? You aren’t old enough to understand the politics of running a kingdom. A king can’t do whatever he wants to, just because he wants to. A king has to do whatever the people will be pleased by, he has to cater to their needs, not his own.”

“What our kingdom, Dad, needs is to realise that they can’t just make people outcasts because of their heritage. Those kids didn’t get to choose their parents, and it isn’t their fault that they ended up with villains as family members. Why should they be made pariahs because of something they couldn’t control? It isn’t just, and aren’t we, as heroes, supposed to be the deliverers of justice? If we aren’t doing our job, we shouldn’t even be considered as heroes.”

“If you want to do this and still have their faith remain in you, you can’t leave any room for mistakes, Ben. Some of our people have really suffered at the hands of these kids’ parents, and even though they’ve started to heal, they won’t just forget and agree to start afresh with the children.”, Belle finally spoke up, pausing for a moment before continuing. “Remember, that you need to assure the safety of not just the citizens, but the children as well. Remember, that you can’t show mercy to anyone breaking the law, no matter their excuse. Remember, that you will be the King of Auradon, and that your actions and words should be befitting to one that is just and caring to all of his subjects.”

“I will, Mom. I promise that I will remember.”

Heart Of A Villain: Chapter 2

Mal

A certain purplette walked in front of her friends, and just the sight of them made people scatter in terror. Of course, that was part of the advantages that came with being the children of the four worst villains in history. Mal grabbed a lollipop from the baby of a passing mother, moments before the screams of terrified people filled the air. Only one person could make villains more terrified than the purplette and her friends. Her mother, Maleficent. As terrified as they might be around the quartet, or Jafar, Evil Queen and Cruella, it was nothing compared to their terror at seeing Maleficent. 

“Hi, Mom.” The young girl turned around stepping in front of her friends, ready to protect them from anything her mother might do. 

“I’m so disappointed in you, Mal. Stealing candy from a baby is just being spiteful, not evil. You should know by now that there’s a difference between the two.”

“I know, Mother, and I will try to do better.”

“When I was your age, young lady, I was cursing entire kingdoms. A very fond memory of mine. And it’s about time you make your own memories too.”

“My own memories? Mother, what exactly are you trying to insinuate?” Confusion filled her voice, a confusion she knew was mirrored on the faces of her friends.

“Nothing, dearie. But there’s news. All four of you have been chosen to go to a different school...in Auradon.”

“The joke isn't funny, Mother.”

“Dearie, it isn’t a joke, it’s news.”

“No, no way are any of us going to Auradon. It’s filled to the brim with brainless prissy pink princesses and princes with hero complexes.” Mal protested angrily.

“But Mal, the princes are so handsome.”, her bluenette friend interrupted. The bluenette happened to be Genevieve Evelyn Grimhilde, daughter of the Evil Queen. An expert poisoner and seducer, but the girl had her lame moments. 

“They aren’t, and the Auradonians are goody two shoes. I’m definitely not going.” Jay added. He was the chocolate haired and chocolate-eyed boy, the heir of Jafar.

“And they have dogs.” Her friend who had black roots in contrast to his white hair finished, wrinkling his nose in distaste to hide his fear. Carlos was the son of Cruella De Vil, intimidating despite his size.

“Dearies, look at the bigger picture. World domination. Revenge. Suffering.”

“We’re still not going, Mother.”

“Come along, children, back to Bargain Castle. The plan will be explained to you there.” Maleficent snapped her fingers before walking off. The quartet barely glanced at each other before leaving, each worried about what their parents had in mind.

“You will go, you will find Fairy Godmother’s wand and bring it back to us.” Mal’s mother dictated.

“Why should we? There’s nothing in it for us.” The sixteen year old commented, her face schooled to indifference. But inside, her heart beat faster due to the mingling fear and excitement she felt. She didn’t want to go to Auradon, but the opportunities it would present were not ones that she wanted to pass up. 

“Don’t you want to rule the world? Don’t you want to have your revenge on the people who took everything from us, the people who imprisoned us? Don’t you want to watch innocent people suffer?”

“We do, but we aren’t going to-”

“Going to Auradon will give you all of it. If you really want it, you will go and bring me the wand. And once I have it, I’ll be able to bend both good and evil to my will with the combined power of my sceptre and the wand.”

“Don’t you mean our will?” Evil Queen interrupted. The woman, she was still a beauty, not a soft one, but one of fallen regality. Age had barely left its mark on any of them, they were immortal in a cruel but regal way. Mal remembered something that her father had told her when she was younger. He had said, “People die with their stories. They will be immortal as long as their story lives on in others.” Maybe it was true.

“Yes, yes, our will.” Her mother’s voice brought her back to reality.

After an exchange of silent glances between the quartet, Mal voiced their joint decision. “Fine, we’ll go.”

With a cynical smile, Maleficent handed her a book. But it wasn’t just any book, it was the faerie’s legendary spellbook. And Mal wasn’t the only one receiving a family heirloom. Evil Queen had handed Evie the only remaining part of her magic mirror, inducing a gasp from the bluenette. The heirloom Jafar presented to Jay was his onyx ring, which would transform into his infamous snake staff when willed to. And as for Carlos, the boy surprisingly received a set of keys. The keys of Cruella’s car, she realised. Her brain had already gone into overdrive, factoring their heirlooms into her scheme. 

“Evie, my little evilette, find yourself a prince with a big castle and a mother-in-law wing.”

“I will, Mom.” Her daughter smiled.

“And who’s the fairest of them all?”

“Me. Kidding, it’s you.” The mother-daughter duo laughed in synchrony. 

“What’s our mantra?”, Jafar asked his son.

“There’s no team in ‘I’”. Jay recited before grabbing his bag and leaving.

Mal grabbed her already packed bag from her room upstairs. She would miss this place, even though she hated it. Standing on her balcony overlooking her city, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Maleficent breathed down her neck, sending chills down the purplette’s spine. 

“The future of the free world rests on your shoulders. Don’t blow it.”
