Auradon is a mess and here's why
So I was talking to a moot about different school systems and then it came to me-
So many people talk about how messed up the Auradonian government is and I wholeheartedly agree even if I have a soft spot for most of the royals
But I just realized that the reason for this is because most of the royals have close to no education- a buttload of trauma, no sense of responsibility, or all three!
Let's see their OG stories if we choose to ignore ROR here since the first three movies used the animated ones as source
Snow White and Cinderella basically grew up as slaves
Aladdin and Eugene were living on the streets stealing for a living
Rapunzel was locked in a tower for 18 years (though in her spinoff show we do see her get educated on queen things)
Naveen can't do shit regarding being a prince (at least not before Tiana came in)
Adam lived in isolation for 10 years while Belle had a basic education at best (with her being a peasant and the school system probably not being that advanced)
Aurora grew up in the woods and was specifically told to stay away from people
Kristoff is... an ice seller
Ariel grew up within a very different kingdom and had to go in blind, learning about human society from scratch
And most of the other rulers have some sort of trauma that can greatly affect their actions in a bad way
So yeah... after thinking about this it makes a lot of sense why Auradon is such a mess
