Red X Chloe - Tumblr Posts
literally my fav song ever
i’m back so let’s talk a little bit about something ive never seen anyone else mention: red’s nose piercing. :3
when i first noticed that red had her nose pierced, i assumed that it was just something that was already on kylie’s face. but as i got a little more into the making of rise of red, i realised that kylie actually doesn’t have her nose pierced. i’ll be honest, it kinda pissed me off because it told me that red’s nose piercing was a deliberate choice on the part of the character/costume designers and i hated that it was just…so boring. it just made me wonder why they didn’t do something way cooler with the jewelry. from that perspective, her gold hoop doesn’t really go with her colour palette and, frankly, it’s just kinda boring.
and then i thought about it from the context in which red as a character exists. her mom, the queen of hearts, is insanely controlling, to the point where red is unable to eat what she wants. because of this, she takes every chance she gets to show defiance. it makes sense to assume that each and every part of her design, in some way, reflects her rebellious nature- even down to her nose being pierced. in that case, i’m impressed with the fact that a design element so small can generate so many questions about the character and their environment.
like…when did red get her nose pierced? how did the queen of hearts react? who did it? did anybody else know? why the gold hoop? there are so many questions i have that will probably never be answered but are very, very fun to speculate about.
now, let’s talk about the gold hoop itself. my biggest complaint, from an aesthetic standpoint, is that the gold hoop just…doesn’t really fit red or her aesthetic. she wears exclusively black jewelry and the only other hint of gold in her design is her belt buckle. i think the biggest possibility is that the gold hoop is subtle. well, as subtle as a nose piercing could be. it blends in well enough that her mom doesn’t bother to make a fuss about it. if red had anything else, anything that stood out more than that gold hoop, she’d risk bearing the brunt of her mother’s punishment.
the act of red piercing her nose in and of itself was a physical manifestation of her disloyalty to her mother’s tyranny. intentional or not, in the queen’s future vision via the looking glass, red is notably missing that gold hoop she’s never seen without.
what that says about the looking glass, in my opinion, is that it’s not an objective tool. rather, it’s more of a gadget that shows the viewer the future they have in mind- but that’s not really the point i’m trying to make here.
my point is that red’s nose piercing is a physical representation of her rebellious nature and her closeness in ideology to her mother. she’s never seen onscreen without it unless it’s in the future scenario where she’s become a dictator alongside her. honestly, whether intentional or not, it’s a beautiful piece of character design- one that i bet you probably wouldn’t expect from a disney channel movie of all things.
hello descendants tumblr . today i bring you my favourite chloe headcanon :3
- after chloe met red and they time travelled together, chloe begged her parents to let her get her nose pierced so that she’d match red and could surprise her with it the next time they’d see each other!
- she has a big fear of needles- it’s, like, one of her only fears. because of that, this was a really big thing for her. she wanted to show red that she wasn’t alone.
her new look! :3
watch Disney take two original female characters with remarkable gay ah chemistry and then suddenly introduce a male love interest for one of them out of nowhere that’s just a clone of the other but makes no sense as a love interest other than to make the gay ship not canon.
I’m sorry Chloe x Red shippers, but they’ve done it before and they’ll probably do it again 😭 like look at OUAT S1, 2, & 3 and then look at RoR. Two female characters who start off enemies, are brought together unwillingly by a common goal, separated after an argument about a severe view point difference, and then brought back together with more chemistry than before over a realization that the other was more right than one was willing to admit? Yeah, that sounds an awful lot like Swan Queen. But I just perfectly described Red and Chloe’s relationship. I wouldn’t put it past Disney for them to do it again.
My GlassHeart aesthetic board 💙♥️
Saw other ppl do this and wanted to do it myself, if anyone has a print idea pls send it to me and I'll write it!
I refuse to do:
-smut
-S/A
-adult/underage
Anything else is fine!
After the time travel mission Red and Chloe start gaining memories from the new timeline, this is more of a problem for Red so Chloe gives her a journal to sort her thoughts. She writes/draws things that remind her of her childhood with the QoHs bc she doesn’t want to forget what she went through. Because if she forgot it, her trauma would’ve been for nothing.
Please, please stop making fics and shilling Kylie and Malia! They are real people not Red and Chloe, ship the characters not the actors!
Chloe is a ginger cat and red is a black cat. I will say no more.
need somebody to write a story for Chloe and Red but give Chloe the personality of Mary-Anne like I just know it would eat would write it myself but I’m shit at writing
