Headcanon: How many kingdoms/lands are a part of Auradon
Okay so this is my half thought out idea of how the United States of Auradon came to be and the current landscape of it, mostly for my story “We’ll Light the Fuse” but I guess in general as well. Sorry for any spelling issues:
The Original Kingdoms/Lands
The original kingdoms were the first kingdoms that joined together to create the United States of Auradon, similar to I guess the 13 colonies of the United States of America. (I’ll explain what would have been the Britain equivalent in a different post later. Maybe.)
“The Golden Age” films:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Pinocchio
Fantasia (putting this here more to confirm that the events of this film happened and not really to say that there’s a specific kingdom).
Dumbo
Bambi
“The Silver Age” films:
Cinderella
Alice in Wonderland
Peter Pan
Lady and the Tramp
Sleeping Beauty
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
The Sword and the Stone
The Jungle Book
“The Dark Age”/”The Bronze Age” films:
The Aristocats
Robin Hood
The Rescuers
The Fox and the Hound
The Great Mouse Detective
Oliver and Company
“The Disney Renaissance” films:
The Littler Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Lion King
Pocahontas
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Hercules
Mulan
Tarzan --> Tarzan doesn’t necessarily participate in Auradon’s politics but the land is protected by Auradon and it’s a crime to try to hunt any of his gorilla family.
So as mentioned before, the above movies and their settings all happened before Auradon was formed and their locations can, in some way be thought of as the original kingdoms that joined together and voted for the Isle (obviously not unanimously but that’s a post for another time).
The Kingdoms/Lands That Eventually Joined Auradon
Now, these are the kingdoms/lands who weren’t sure about whether they wanted to join Auradon. They initially weren’t excited to give one person, “The High King”, power over their lands. For whatever reason though, they eventually joined Auradon soon after the Isle’s creation.
“The Second Dark Age”/ “Post-Renaissance Era” films:
The Emperor’s New Groove --> Originally, Kuzco didn’t want to join Auradon but sometime during the events of “The Emperor’s New School” the economy of his kingdom plummeted due to crop failure and the slight unstableness that was left after Yzma was defeated. (She may have been a villain but she was honestly the only thing keeping the empire somewhat stable during Kuzco’s pre-llama days). The advisors who were watching over the kingdom while their Emperor was completing his education panicked and took the offer of help that Auradon offered in exchange for them joining the United States of Auradon and sending Yzma to the Isle. Kuzco and Kronk did try to fight to keep Yzma from being sent to the Isle (yeah, she did try to kill Kuzco and take his empire away from him but she was honestly the only family he remembered having before meeting Pacha, so that’s gotta count for something right?) but in the end, since Kuzco had still yet to marry and have an heir in case of a worst case scenario (Yzma trying to get revenge on him again) his group of advisors didn’t listen and signed the papers to ship Yzma off to the Isle of the Lost.
Lilo and Stitch --> At first, this little island nation wasn’t even on Auradon’s map in terms of political power. However, after the arrival of Experiment 626 aka Stitch, and the realization that there are others out there in the universe, Auradon pulled the land of Hawaii in on the agreement that Stitch or his creator would not be forced to go to the Isle of the Lost (remember, Stitch hates water and the Isle only gets junk so it would have to take a few years at least before he would have been able to break out) if they joined Auradon as representatives of Auradon (and kind of the entire world) as their ambassador for the Galatic Council. If Stitch failed to mention that he’s not on the best of terms with the council and the only reason why the Council hasn’t just destroyed the Earth is because of mosquitoes, well, that’s Auradon’s fault for not being smart enough to know. Stitch is just glad to be able to stay with Lilo (who is the same age in the film) and their small family.
Meet the Robinsons --> In terms of this movie’s timeline, it’s been a several years after the movie and Lewis’s company is small but quickly growing, especially with King Adam and Fairy Godmother trying to retire magic.
“The Second Disney Renaissance”/ “The Revival Era” films:
Princess and the Frog --> The city-state of New Orleans joined Auradon a year or two after the USA was first formed.
Tangled --> The King and Queen of Corona were at first hesitant to join Auradon when initially offered. They had lost so much with the disappearance of their daughter. However, after Rapunzel was returned to them by the infamous Flynn Rider aka Eugene, the King and Queen decided they needed to take the necessary precautions to make sure something like that never happened to anyone in their kingdom again. Rapunzel though didn’t like the idea of resurrecting dead villains and putting them on an Isle to serve as punishment. Though Mother Gothel was emotionally abusive and had kidnapped her and lied to her for all of her life, she was still her mother. There were still numerous times that she could remember Gothel either being a very good actor or somewhat genuinely caring for her. Her parents had already decided however and the agreements were made. A few years later, when the census was taken, and Rapunzel saw the new name Ginny Gothel she cried because she had essentially done what Gothel had did to this little child: take away the childhood she should have had. When Ben proposed to give the children of the Isle a chance, Queen Rapunzel was the first one to sign and support the new boy king.
Big Hero 6 --> It was very recently, like at some point during the beginning of Ben’s teenage years that San Fransokyo joined Auradon (though the events of the film happened years before that, when Ben was like 5 or 6) and only under the condition that they could choose what to do with their “villains”.
The Kingdoms/Lands That Are Allies But Are Not A Part of Auradon
These kingdoms/lands of these films were not about having King Adam (the Beast) ruling over them but also didn’t want to start a fight with an ever growing super-kingdom:
Atlantis: The Lost Empire --> We’re actually keeping the timeline with Atlantis so at this point it’s been over a hundred years since the events of this movie. Though Atlantis is no longer just a myth and has allied with Auradon, Queen Kida and her husband are not idiots and don’t trust someone with a temper like King Adam to have full control and say over the crystals of Atlantis. Plus, Kida is a BAMF queen and she’s not going to let some former beast rule over her.
Treasure Planet --> Goes along with the Stitch being part of the Galatic Council bit. Someone from the movie, maybe Jim, is also part of that Council. Overall, the council doesn’t really do much on earth though every now and again, they’re interested in what the earthlings called “magic” (they chuckle because they understand the complex theories behind “magic” that takes it from hocus pocus to actual science) and their desire to repress something that is so natural.
Brother Bear --> Mostly keeps to themselves though will come out in full swing if Auradon gets lazy about protecting the environment.
Frozen --> Same as with Atlantis. Queen Elsa doesn’t have time for King Adam (though she and Queen Belle always meet up for brunch or something whenever they’re in one or the other’s lands) and his pettiness and she’s a BAMF queen who doesn’t need a king and will not hesitate to freeze anyone who tries to attack her kingdom.
Brave --> Haven’t figured out exactly where this fits but just going to put them under haven’t joined for now.
And that’s all I got. What do you think?
“We’ll Light the Fuse” Descendants Playlist
So I thought it would be cool to share some of the songs that either helped inspire certain chapters of “We’ll Light the Fuse” or would be part of the soundtrack playing in the backgrounds of certain scenes if this was a movie. Some songs you might see under more than one chapter because they inspired different parts of the story.
Let me know what you think and if there’s any songs that you think I should give a listen to, feel free to send them to me in an ask. I might add them for future chapters.

King Ben is a benevolent ruler and works hard to keep the promises that he makes. Even to those who put him under a love spell...
“I made you a promise to give you your chance,” it said in in the margins next to the elegantly scripted offered new title, “Royal Councilor to the King, Ms. Uma of the Isle, Captain of the Lost Revenge”.
“You gotta be messing with me,” was the first thing out of Uma’s mouth.
Love You Too
Telling you right now, this is not the happiest or the best piece of writing I’ve done but I have a lot of personal stuff going on, especially in the relationship area - or lack of - and I needed an outlet that wasn’t moaning to my friends about it. And thus, this angst Willet fic was born. Sorry for any typos. I’ll go back and edit later.
“Hey. You sure you’re okay?”
No.
“Yep!” came the forced chirp from Violet’s mouth. Her lips stretched into what she could only assume was a barely passable smile based off the hesitance that still lingered on Wilbur’s face. Knowing that she needed to ease any suspicions, she placed a hand gently on his upper arm. “Seriously, I appreciate the concern but I’m fine. Just a little tired from, you know, family stuff but nothing I can’t along with a good night’s sleep can’t manage.”
The frown on his face as Wilbur’s eyes searched hers for something more, whatever she wasn’t telling him, told her that he knew she wasn’t being honest with her. She was praying her forced smile wasn’t turning into a grimace underneath his gaze when he finally sighed, looking away.
“Well...if you say so, Vi,” he murmured, gently placing his hand over hers that still rested on his arm and it took so much of her energy to either melt at his warmth or cry at the cruel reality of things.
“I do,” she said, forcing a bit more conviction into her voice. “I’m fine.” His hand lingered over hers for a second more before she removed hers from out his grip. She ignored the feeling the all too familiar and recently frequent dull feeling in her chest. “Now, what are you planning for your date with Penny?”
Penny. Not her. Not Violet. Penny. The girl that instantly caused a goofy grin to settle over Wilbur’s face at just the mention of her name. Penny. The girl that Violet so desperately wanted to hate but who honestly had no faults other than having caught the eye of Wilbur Robinson, Violet’s oldest friend and the person who unwittingly was breaking her heart with every lovestruck sigh or utterance in regards to Penny, Not Violet and the whimsical but still tasteful date he was preparing for Penny, Not Violet.
And all Violet could do was smile and nod like the dutiful friend that she was, sometimes giving suggestions for his date that he immediately incorporated and was positive that Penny, Not Violet would love.
“I was really worried about this,” Wilbur grinned as he began to pack up his stuff. “You know, the whole dating thing. It’s difficult with my dad being who my dad is. And I mean, not even just him. My entire family is respected in their individual fields. I didn’t think anyone would just see me for...well, me.”
I did.
“But Penny did,” she said, suffocating on her words.
Wilbur’s eyes softened as he nodded. “Yeah. She did. I-I think she’s the one, Vi. Do you think that’s silly?”
YES! IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE ME! VIOLET, NOT PENNY!!!
“No. I think you deserve every bit of happiness.”
As if her words were the confirmation he was looking for Wilbur grinned, getting up and pulling Violet into a tight hug. For a moment, she pretended that her heart wasn’t breaking; that this embrace was more than just friends; that she had been brave all those months ago and had just told him how she felt, how she still feels for him. But the time is up and that opportunity, like Wilbur pulling away from the hug, slips by her all too quickly. Her heart is beating against her chest, demanding to be free from the confines of Violet’s own self pity, daring to bask in the “what if” that flirted dangerously with her emotions. But she pushed it down, heart crushing under the weight of his happiness.
It would be enough. It had to be.
He gives her a friendly peck on the cheek, stating a platonic, familial “love you” over his shoulder before he rushed out of the cafe they met up in to meet his girlfriend, Penny, Not Violet unaware of the broken heart he casually left behind or the tears - definitely not the first, and undoubtedly not the last - that were silently falling.
“Love you too.”

Any other suggestions?
