The Dark is a Little Enticing

This is my version of the Rise of Red VK group, along with some various Rise of Red posting and any criticisms or metas that have something to do with Rise of Red. This is separate from my Isle of Darkness AU

For the amount of harassing of the Darkness that Disney is doing with this stupid trailer for the new Descendants movie, this movie had better be God's gift to cinema. If I watch this movie and find out that the weeks of constantly listening to "Wait for Pink!" and "What have we done?" we for a mediocre film, I am going to do something so terrifying it'll make Amityville look like a practical fucking joke

Oh my gods, Red and Chloe are literally the Red Gay and Blue Gay.

They are literally the ideal gay ship

"Look for a hand, find a golden hook. Captain of the seas I've got 'em all shook"

I mean, that is how people react to amputees in real life ("oh my gods this person doesn't have a hand time to take my foot and shove it directly into my mouth") so props to them for that. But that's the only thing I give them credit for here

Yeah, I'm sure having the hook in school has shaped Hook's development in different ways than the original. This is a good line for how people have reacted to it.

isleofdarkness

I don't get how he's in school after Pan cut off his hand, I thought that happened in Neverland when Hook was an adult, but okay, Disney.

I wonder how many people have asked him what happened and how many people think he was lying when he said "Magical boy cut off my hand and fed it to a crocodile with a clock motif."

I can't find my post about Hades's earrings right now but no, I think one of them is a cross.

Sir you cannot wear that, you are a pagan deity, take that off immediately

askauradonprep

This is Hades so he may be doing it as intentional disrespect. Or maybe he likes its history as an execution method.

isleofdarkness

He's doing it because he's angry Jesus came back to life when he said no. Or maybe he just doesn't like the guy and he's wearing it as Jesus repellent.

So you know how Mal, Jay, Evie, and Carlos are called the Core 4? I have an idea for what to call Uliana, Hook, Morgie, Hades, and Maleficent; The Fabulous 5.

Because they are fabulous. Uliana even calls herself fabulous in the movie. Did you know that if you say fabulous a few times it no longer feels like a word and you start to wonder if you made it up? Yeah, that's where I am. Anyway, I'm calling them the Fabulous Five from now on

He's awfully adorable!

Me, seeing Excalibur in Merlin's office being used to attack students;

That is a dangerous artefact and if King Arthur doesn't want it, it needs to be somewhere safe where it's getting taken care of and preserved, never used, like in a museum.

askauradonprep

I'm sure that's where it is now, but geez, Merlin, put a better lock on your dangerous magical stuff!

isleofdarkness

And maybe don't have security measures that include an extremely powerful and dangerous magical weapon that legit tried to stab Red through the skull multiple times, meaning the swords are meant to take lethal measures against intruders who are probably students.

Like Jesus Christ man, doesn't this room double as a classroom? You don't even have the bookshelves roped off! What if someone sees a book they think looks interesting and, not knowing that those books are banned, goes to check it out only to get stabbed in the head with bloody Excalbur? Think this through, Merlin, because teenagers sure won't.

isleofdarkness

I know for a fact that King Arthur, one of the most gracious, generous, and moral kings in the history of mythology, did not give Merlin his magic sword to attack students, meaning teenagers, with. He would not do that.

askauradonprep

Look, I know the knights of the round table have a very different idea of child safety, but COME ON. No wonder villains ran rampant if this is their cultural milieu regarding child safety.

isleofdarkness

I'm pretty sure, in mythology, there was at least one point where King Arthur was explicitly anti harming children and made it clear that it was a line he wouldn't cross because, you know, basic morality, so I don't know what Merlin thinks he's doing but Arthur wouldn't approve.

I get that Merlin is a cambion but you have to know that killing kids is wrong, man. Even if cambions don't have inherent morality, he spent so long with King "Morality is my middle name" Arthur that he has to have picked up some things.
