Making aus as a fan who fixates on one (1) character is so hard because I do truly want my blorbo to be the prettiest girl at the party. All the other characters need meaningful moments and important motivations and backstory and internal thoughts. But here's my special guy. Everyone look at him the most. Clap or ill blow this whole building up

Hello! I'm so glad I came across your blog cuz I was ready to scroll endlessly through post after post of the general Descendants fandom hating Beast/Adam here on Tumblr, but then I discovered you pretty early on and now I can say that this wasn't a fruitless quest!

I don't know if you have a post that already discussed this, but I want to know what exactly you like about our dear Beast and also if you have any headcanons you'd like to share about him! :)

ahaha thank youuuu,I love Adam so much I got into his character after scrolling through so many blogs hating Adam I decided to change that it also made me a Dan Payne fan in general

Two of my favorite headcanons i have is that when he dies he would be declared a saint in the future by the Pope,and he loves opera

Thank you so much for liking my blog

What's your opinion to some people calling Beast Adam even if he's never been given an actual name?

I've seen people complaining about how someone just took this non-confirmed name and ran with it while others say it's good to he has somewhat of a name after the curse was lifted

Personally for me it just feels a bit de-humanising to call a guy who spent his entire story wanting to be human again "Beast" and Adam is the closest to an actual name we have but I understand wanting to call him that until/if we do get a canon name for him eventually

I love the name 'Adam' for him and I don't care if it's "not canon," the guy deserves a name. His name is Adam in pretty much all my fics at least and if he's still called Beast it's either for a reason (the Dark Haven series and An Untold Story) or to abide spitefully by canon (Good to be Bad Twisted Tale.)

It is so mean to just call him "Beast" all the time, even after the curse is broken. I don't think he constantly needs the reminder of his curse (and I've commented before that Descendants continuously referring to him as "King Beast" or "Beast," in addition to just calling Aurora "Sleeping Beauty," sorta makes it sound like the kingdom cares more about the stories than the actual people themselves, but I digress...)

Also like. If Disney wanted us to call him a canon name, they had the chance to give him one in the 2017 remake. Other remakes gave us the names of Cinderella and Snow White's love interests, who both barely had names of their own (Prince Henry and Prince Florian/Ferdinand are also not canon!) but formally giving us a name for Belle's Prince isn't an option? Weird choice to me.

He was given... sort of a name? in the novel Rebel Rose, aka "Lio," but I believe that was still sort of derived from a nickname he was called as a child, still skirting around actually giving him a name.

In short, in my mind, Adam is his name. If Disney don't like it they're free to say otherwise, but even then, the name Adam seems to have stuck. Out of all the unnamed princes (Snow White's, Cinderella's, and Belle's) I'd say Adam deserved a name the most when it's so attached to his identity after a decade of being cursed.

And no, I don't count Once Upon a Time in the slightest, because that was obviously a fairy-tale mashup deal.

My headcanon for what everyone was thinking during this shot

Adam: Someone please get this dog!

Belle: Get him away from me!

Ben: My mother-in-law is going to die!

Mal: Oh gods my mom is going to get eaten-

Hades: …… How mad would everyone be if I toast this mutt-

[purplecherryuwu]

A question that just popped into my head based on this image-

Why is Belle wearing a tiara? She's not queen anymore

Adam's not seen with a crown anywhere at all after Ben's coronation because he's king now

Whether or not Belle wears tiaras is also inconstitent

She wears one during cotillion, only wears one in one scene in D3 when she and Adam are watching Audrey wake up again

Then she's in a tiara again at Ben and Mal's wedding but no where is Adam wearing a crown

Are tiaras just an elective thing in Auradon depending on the situation?

Is there some rules about when to wear them that I'm missing?

Also if tiaras are elective shouldn't crowns be so too? But Ben is the only guy to wear a crown after his coronation

been wondering the same thing too

So this is/was a collab with bananaactivity, who due to personal reasons, has stepped back from social media, but they did finish all the linearts to the art trade/collab we were doing so, they sent me oever the files and i will finish the portraits, they already did evie(and did a fantasic job), so enjoy the currently finished portraits of the vks, which rest in the hall of Heroes in Auradon prep, freatured in the opening scene of Descendants: new beginnings.

To intentionally do harm to or cause harm to an innocent child of your own free will is one of the most evil acts one can perform and King Adam was actively doing it on a large scale for twenty years. Locking up innocent children on a lawless prison colony filled with rapists, human traffickers, and murderers while intentionally starving them and considering their suffering a necessary evil and them acceptable losses is genuinely supervillain shit. The violation of human rights is truly beyond stating and the fact that he could have easily stopped doing that at any point just makes it even worse. The fact that he actively fought against giving people the most basic of human rights worse still.

Yes, King Beast was the true villain of Descendants

[descendantsconfessions-deactiva]

While it's very easy to fall into this category (and admittedly I did this at first too). To call Beast/Adam the "true" villain of the franchise is stretching a bit. Is he a dumbass for creating the island? Yes, but realistically he would've never gotten away with it if he was the only one who wanted this

I've seen this take by @dani-luminae and @thetimelordbatgirl that someone simply HAD to take the role of "king who locked everyone up" for the story to happen

His actions in the movies is really not something a "villain" would do, is he a huge idiot? Yes and I hate HATE the stupid "No son, it's yours" line during the stupid family scene but considering what happens during the coronation we're to assume they cleared it up off screen

My interpretation of the character currently is that he's a himbo who easily goes along with what the people around him is saying considering how fast he changes his mind about stuff in the movies all the time depending on what's happening around him

Does this make him a very good king? Probably not

Does this make him a tyrant? Absolutely not

And listen, his character is so vague in the movies it's very easy to twist him either way but considering his backstory it kinda make sense if you think of him as a kid/teen who was severely traumatized after being cursed for ten years, like if they could've added just a small thing to make him more sympathetic towards the whole "no magic" rule is that- they could've had him flinch or back away whenever someone uses magic near him

Now I do have my whole own backstory for him to make his character in both Descendants and the og movie make sense but that's a whole other can of worms- to cut it all short

Descendants Adam is an idiot, not a villain

Honestly? This is a very balanced and compelling take.

Calling Beast/Adam the true villain of Descendants often comes from a place of frustration with the premise (Isle of the Lost = morally questionable), but yeah your breakdown makes a ton of sense. He’s not malicious, just incredibly shortsighted and heavily influenced by those around him. The “himbo king who accidentally created a dystopia” angle is honestly kind of perfect.

You’re also spot on about the context he couldn't have done it alone. The existence of the Isle was a collective societal decision, not just one guy pulling strings. Someone had to play the "symbol" of that decision in the narrative, and it just happened to fall on him. The whole idea that he was traumatized from being cursed as a kid and developed some weird coping mechanisms around magic? Brilliant. That would’ve added so much nuance if it was even hinted at on screen.

And yes, the “No son, it’s yours” moment… cringe. It’s trying so hard to be this Lion King type of scene, but it just comes off tone-deaf given the context of their world. Like, sir, your policies exiled children.

TL;DR: Adam isn't a villain, he’s a soft-headed, post-traumatized people-pleaser in a position of too much power. And that’s way more interesting than just labeling him “evil.”

Probably nothing new to people who actually payed attention to the actors when the descendants movies were first coming out but-

Since when was Dan Payne (Beast) and Jedidiah Goodacre (Chad) IN A THRILLER TOGETHER?!

The movie is called "Dying to be loved" and i just stumbled upon it while scrolling through other movies Dan's been in because I may or may not be obsessed with his character
