the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

this came to me in a dream

[ganondorf]

the first description of carrie on the first fucking page of the book is "Carrie stood among them stolidly, a frog among swans. She was a chunky girl with pimples on her neck and back and buttocks [...]" like can we be serious

[ganondorf]

you can whinge about how "fat in the 1970s isn't actually fat" but for all intents and purposes to the narrative and the characters within it she is, functionally, fat. she is treated like she is fat. she is stephen king's version of fat. the distinction between "real fat" and "fake fat" means very little based on the way the book and everyone inside it talks about her

[uwillneverknowwho]

I have to say, this is a very extreme statement, but I do think "I don't mean to throw a wrench in tomorrow, but it's also my birthday" might be one of the funniest things Emily Axford has ever done

ok so I now come bearing slightly more knowledge on descendants wicked wonderland and also two requests. 1) what were your thoughts on rise of red 2) please please please I want to hear more about your takes on the characters they sound so cool and based (I’m shaking Louis so bad rn bc of the peak immigrant experience conveyed solely from your like two paragraphs on it)

HELLO YES i finally have enough time and a brain to respond to this ur even more my hero now

okay so 1:

i will not lie to you, i have a deep and profound resentment for rise of red because objectively the plot of it makes the rest of the prior descendants franchise work So Much Worse??

like,,.,. they took their one thing that set them apart from the fresh, dead corpse of ever after high (whom they killed) and decided actually fuck that all their parents went to high school together

which doesn't WORK?? because king beast making the fucked up but semi-baseline-understandable decision to create the isle of the lost makes sense if they're the villains from the actual disney movies

like sure, yes, stick jafar on, essentially, the fantasy, unguarded version of rikers island, he overthrew an entire kingdom, probably killed a lot of people, brainwashed a world leader for Years, and tried to marry a teenager as a grown adult. he sucks.

BUT IF THEY'RE ALL THE SAME AGE AND ALL JUST WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER???

SURE JAFAR PROBABLY DID SOME FUCKED UP THINGS BUT IT HAD TO BE WAY MORE LIMITED IN SCOPE BECAUSE HE WAS LIKE... 23 AT BEST AND STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL AT WORST???

it's a significantly more understandable ethical nightmare to lock away maleficent, the petty, shitty evil fairy who cursed a baby to death over a snubbed party invite, then maleficent the SIXTEEN YEAR OLD who cursed her fellow SIXTEEN YEAR OLD over a snubbed party invite

like. am i crazy. it makes it all way weirder and worse and bad.

HOWEVER! i do fuck heavy with the aggressive sapphic shit going on between every female character like that's great for me

and as the worlds number one brandy cinderella supporter please know i was losing my shit about her and paolo montalban being there. i love them. let ella and bridget be lesbian married but also please let chris also be there. he deserves to be. let him hang out.

it's also the funny as fuck to name the queen of hearts bridget when her actress' name is literally ruby rose

dude. i have so many character thoughts. the chances of me writing some semblance of fic about these guys is incredibly high and entirely dependent on if i have any free time in august.

luis is my Baby i love him so bad,,.,.. holding him in my Hands.

i do think he goes home way more than most kids who live on campus. like a lot of weekends, and every short school holiday he's going HOME to see his MOM and his FAMILY and no one can STOP HIM

but! :D his friends can come with if they want :D come see his cool home town!! he'll give you a tour!! isn't it great!! don't talk about his totally real and not made up super strength and if anyone says anything weird about him making illusions ignore it please!!! robbie has 100% gone with him a bunch of times, and maybe this time line's version of chloe and red have too, but they don't remember

(so, if they tag along post-ww it's going to be a real social mine field as luis' entire massive family remembers them and they have no fucking clue who Anyone or what Anything is)

also i somehow didn't mention it in the last post but a major inspiration for him being able to do both useful and aesthetic illusions is the little lightning bug in for once in my life. he made that.

he comes from a huge family with 17 cousins, and robbie is an animal folk kid raised communally by the merry men, his parents, and probably a shit ton of runaways. their concepts of personal space are so astoundingly fucked. people definitely think they're dating because they're constantly On Top of each other

(the vks are also on top of each other constantly, like, canonically. and pink is probably the most enthusiastic hugger of ever. chloe and red are actually the weird ones for their spaced apart, extended chin touches and periodic hand holding being the extent of their touchy-feely-ness)

he also probably knows.... way less about the isle of the lost/earlier descendants shit than anyone else because encanto like.,. conceptually gets news about this stuff but until he went to school in auradon they stayed Uninvolved. this literally is not their problem.

so, like, he knows the actual textbook, history class version of what happened, and thinks about the isle and stuff the way you'd think about The Titanic, or The Industrial Revolution.

(which is part of why he has a harder time connecting to the vks because like... they lived there?? that's where their dad's house is?? and he literally does not process it as something that happened in his lifetime)

bonus robbie thoughts, because he's haunted my brain since i made that post:

absolutely an expert pick pocket, and he is using it to flirt with felix

scary good liar, but only like.,.,. when it's ethical and correct to lie

this boy says 'oo-de-lally' all the fucking time. his dad says it so often, that at this point he just naturally and earnestly uses it like 'wow' and 'holy shit', but it Does sound So stupid

also! because im actively trying to start getting my interpreter certification, i've been putting stupid levels of thought into squeaky being nonverbal, and communicating exclusively through Twin Telepathy, and asl:

the twins didn't learn sign until they came to auradon, since back on the isle it was fully acceptable, and fine that they just Did Not Speak (so they both used it to communicate for a bit before squirmy started talking)

hazel doesn't have a name sign, squeaky literally just uses the sign for 'captain' in place of her name, which she's Normal about

it's that weird crossover, since he's not deaf, where his friends Understand asl, but they're like.,.,. bad at actually doing it themselves. which is fine, they don't actually have to use it? they just have to be able to translate. but it means when chloe, who is 100% absolutely fluent, tries to start a conversation with him in it he acts like she's done the wildest, most baffling shit in the entire world,,.,. why is she doing that??

luis is putting active effort into trying to learn asl to understand more directly what squeaky says, and he feels so bad for not knowing it already, even though literally no one is expecting him to?? this is his Third language?? maybe fourth?? because he definitely does know LSC

pink decides randomly throughout the year when it's someones Special unbirthday (but like,,.,. it's technically everyone's because she doesn't choose anyone else's Actual birthdays), so they can have a party and celebrate :)

its delightful and also a real source of brewing, underlying conflict between her in red, though, because red isn't HELPING or getting as excited as she's SUPPOSED to about unbirthdays!! they do this all the time!! why is she so suprised??

the unbirthday parties end up being sort of like a weird version of exposure therapy for max to start dealing with and enjoying wonderland-y things

the twins have different unbirthdays, because Obviously, if it's just an excuse to celebrate, why would you want to condense two of them into the same day??? and they're like really excited about it at first and then start getting Levels Of Separation Anxiety like unsocialized puppies even though they're both at the other's party it's simply too weird for them

also unrelated to unbirthdays, but related to pink: she and felix do probably bond over Cards,.,. just like,. conceptually
