Why I feel Bad for Audrey and Chad;

Summary; What the title says also a possible justification for why Chad and Audrey act the way they do. And why they might hate the core four.

☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹

Okay, so first off this is just speculation based on what is implied and what we see happen in canon. And now that that's out of the way, let's get this started. Mal has done alot of terrible things-- we know this and we know that some of the time, she really doesn't know better-- and by extension, so have her friends. And I know what you guys are gonna say, okay? I know. They grew up on the isle and are new to Auardon, and don't know any better!

And yes, while that might be true, keep in mind that Audrey and Chad wouldn't know that. They think they're just regular kids who know right and wrong just like them and just chose not to do so. And their families and other people in Auardon telling them that these kids are bad and no good and trouble probably isn't helping their case either. So yes, while we know the Vks don't know better it doesn't excuse their actions to the aks. Not that it really should to begin with, but moving on to my point;

Chad and Audrey have every right to hate them from their point of view.

I mean, just think about it. Just imagine you're Audrey. Your life is perfect. Your parents and grandparents are proud of you. You have good grades and so many accomplishments to be proud of. You have an amazing boyfriend who is everything you've ever dreamed that your family want you to marry and you have amazing friends. You have all of this one day and then the next, the daughter of the woman who tried to kill your parents is brought to your school.

You don't like her and she doesn't like you. You follow the rules to a T and she breaks them every chance she gets but when you complain, your boyfriend and most of your friends (i.e Doug, Lonnie, and Jane) dismiss you completely. So you stand by and grit your teeth and just try to avoid her and get on with your life since no one will listen to you. Your bestfriend (Chad) is the only one who listens to you and he rants with you. He tells you how your enemy's friend is obviously a gold digger who only wanted to talk about the wand and his castle and how she cheated in class and insulted his mother's dress. You listen as he tells you what he did and you decide not to interfere because it's not your business. You think he'll come to his senses or go through with his word. You listen to him complain about how her other friend completely went nuts on the field and how he was rewarded for it instead of punished when anyone else would have suffered greatly for it. And again you do nothing because you know there's nothing you can do about it. You hear from Chad how Doug, another friend of yours, is absolutely smitten with the blue haired friend (which you already knew) and how she dismisses him in her pursuit of Chad.

You, again, do nothing because you know Doug is stubborn and won't listen to you. So you let Chad handle it. You notice that Lonnie and Jane and other girls from school who you might be friends with have got their hair done by your enemy who used magic. Something no one is really supposed to use anymore. And your boyfriend dismisses you when you point it out and your concerns and insecurities. So you grin and bear it, even though your friends and boyfriend are acting werid and tell yourself that everything will go back to normal.

Only it doesn't and everything comes crashing down around you. Your boyfriend sings a whole song about how much he is in love with another girl infront of all your friends and two whole schools. No adults do anything. Your friends don't do anything. Not even when he tries to Kiss her. Everyone is cheering and clapping and smiling and it hurts so you lash out using your other friend who hates the vks almost as much you do at this point. Then the girl and her friends continue to escape punishment no matter what damage they cause.

Made Jane so insecure that she tried to change herself with the wand? No punishment.

Tried to free their parents? No punishment and they got an A in their goodness class.

Knocked Chad out with a potion spray thing? No punishment.

Undid Jane's magic hair? No punishment.

Made an ugly portrait of you ? No punishment.

Runs away to the isle after continuing to use magic and after trying to erase your ex's memories so she wouldn't face any consequences? No punishment.

Your ex is kidnapped and no one is told until after the big party where a Glass picture is shown? No punishment.

These kids continue to hurt you and disobey eery rule you were ever taught and get no punishment at all because no one cares. And then you get to see your boyfriend propose to the girl who has destroyed your friend group and your life with absolutely no warning whatsoever and your grandmother blames it on you. No one cares if you're alright and you find out that you're one of the only people who wasn't invited to your childhood friend's birthday party. How would you feel? How would you feel if you were Audrey? Wouldn't you lash out too?

And then there's Chad. Chad who is Audrey's friend and the only one to stand by her through all of this while also dealing with what is going on. His whole friend group fell apart. Ben never apologized for hurting Audrey like he did. No one else ever did. No one gave them an explanation. No one cared that Ben was obviously spelled. And he is being replaced as one of the top players by Jay who doesn't follow the rules and gets rewarded for it. Evie gets to date one of his old childhood friends after brushing him off repeatedly in favor of trying to marry him so she could have everything he has. Gets to date his childhood friend after cheating in class and standing by the girl who caused his friend so much pain. Gets to date his bestfriend after insulting his mom and her dress. Mal gets to date one of his bestfriends despite all the harm he caused to him, Audrey, Ben, and the rest of their friends. After making Jane hate herself further and making Audrey feel like shit. Have you noticed that Chad never bothered Carlos except when he stole from him in the 2nd movie?

He didn't insult Carlos. He didn't mess with him like he did with Jay or Mal or Evie. He left Carlos alone? Maybe because Carlos didn't do anything to him or his friends directly. Maybe because he reminds Chad of his mom? Who knows. Point is, he only bothered Mal, Jay, and Evie that we know of. And same goes for Audrey (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't remember the books or wicked world that well). They lost everything when the vks showed up. They saw them get away with every bad behavior and lost their friend group because of it. Lost their respective roles and the respect of those around them (like Audrey's grandma). Why wouldn't they hate those 3?

Edited as of Jan 27, 2024:

Just learned recently that FG threatened to send them back to the isle after they stole a boat in tje books.

Don't know if the Aks would know that but just thought it should be mentioned.

Together Again - Harry Hook x Clayton!Reader - Oneshot.

I need to work on my commissions but I was watching d2 and just can't help myself! So! D2 oneshot, (y/n) was invited to Auradon with the c4 with their twin! Harry n reader are pretty much already dating before d1. Gender natural reader! no she/her or he/him pronouns used, outfits provided are just suggestions :3

*Suggested sex! no detail but you’re gonna look at the paragraph and go ‘oh yeah they had sex’. jus a lil warning*

outfit options, take ur pick i designed both to be pretty gender neutral. 

=

You stared out across the ocean to the isle, where you had left him behind…not willingly, but…with the others choosing good, and little to no chance of more vks coming over to Auradon any time soon…you were forced to leave him behind.

“(y/n)?” you turned slightly, your twin brother, Corbin; was walking up next to you, plopping down beside you on the sand. “still thinking about him?”

“How could I not?” you mumbled curling in on yourself, pressing your mouth to your arms. Eyes still locked onto the isle, particularly the area where the docks would be. Where he would be.

Corbin sighed, pulling you into his side “there's still a chance Ben could invite more kids over, maybe you could ask him to invite Harry next?” you hummed, tilting your head a bit. It had been six months since you had been told by your dad about your transfer to Auradon Prep.

“I dunno” you muttered, standing and wiping down your pants. “come on, it's getting dark” Corbin hummed, glancing across the sea again, seeing the isle lights starting to emerge. He nodded and stood, wrapping his arm around your shoulder and leading you back up the path to the Auradon prep dorms.

-

Two nights later, you awoke to the sound of rapid knocking. You grumbled and slipped out of bed; Corbin still dead asleep as he always was. You opened the door and saw Jay and Carlos standing before you, both with wide eyes and hurried motions.

Carlos continually looked side to side, as if he was afraid someone was listening in, and Jay was clenching his hands “Mal ran off to the isle, we might need an extra hand” Jay said quietly, not wanting to wake your brother. Between the two of you, you were the better fighter and shot, able to shoot down crows from the air 200 feet below while they were moving.

You blinked for a moment, then realized, they were going to the isle; you could go see Harry. “let me get dressed’ you muttered, Carlos stopping the door from closing with his foot.

“we’ll be out back in the courtyard, in fifteen minutes” you nodded, the boys running off to get Ben ready as you grabbed your old isle clothes and quickly got dressed.

You patted Corbin's head, and he snorted awake, looking up at you with bleary eyes. “wha-?” he drowsily asked, furrowing his brows as you nodded towards the door.

“Heading out for a while, to the isle with the others. I’ll be back” h nodded, still mostly asleep but he flopped onto his pillow and quickly fell back asleep as you walked out the door.

You paused, backtracking for a moment and grabbing your collapsible sniper rifle (think the rifle Caitlyn uses in arcane), hooking the sheath up to your back, sliding the rifle in place, and running back out the door.

You had a pirate to reunite with.

-

You stared bored up at the apartment Mal had shut herself into, you had never really cared for the fae girl, she had always been a bitch towards you. her months in Auradon hadn't changed that; probably because you were never a part of her little group, instead connecting with Harry Hook and Uma; Mal’s arch enemy on the isle.

You dropped your gaze towards your boots, wondering if Gil would mention you to Harry. You perked up as you noticed shadows walking back and forth down the alleyway, one wearing a very familiar silhouetted tailcoat.

You glanced at the others, all distracted by their worry and stress over Mal and Ben, and walked off towards the shadows, one hand ready to grab your rifle in case it wasn’t who you thought.

You stepped into the barley illuminated alleyway and smiled, locking yes with those striking ocean blue ones. “hi” you whispered out, and Harry bolted forward and slammed into you, his arms curling around your waist as your arms tossed around his neck.

“Mah beloved,” Harry whispered out, his voice hoarse. You sniffed, treading your fingers through his hair. “I missed yeh” the other pirates backed away slightly, giving the two of you a more private moment.

“I missed you too. im sorry, I meant to come back, I wanted to get all of you. But I was stuck” you muttered into Harry’s shoulder, feeling him pick his head up and press soft kisses to the side of your head. “you don’t hate me?”

“How could I ever hate yeh, I know yeh would never betray any of us,” Harry said softly, pulling back and cupping your cheeks, smiling. “Uma too, we know yeh (y/n), yeh would never truly side with the dragon bitch” you laughed, shaking your head slightly as you pulled Harry back into a hug.

“Thank Hades” you mumbled, closing your eyes as Harry’s warmth seeped into you. “fuck I missed you” Harry chuckled lowly, wrapping himself around you, cheek pressed into your head.

Suddenly Gil stepped up and tapped Harry’s shoulder, nodding down to the alleyway where the apartment was, where…Ben was making his way down the alley, his head down. “this fucking idiot” you muttered, separating from Harry and preparing to go around the other way to make it seem like you weren’t a part of their plan. If anything just to make it go smoother for them “do what you need to do, I’ll see you later” Harry kissed your hand quickly as you turned to run off down another alley.

You heard Ben get grabbed and you turned the corner to head back to the apartment, pausing as you heard the others call for Ben, and you. Harry then walked up, and you could hear the grin in his voice. He then told them of his kidnapping of Ben, sounded confused when they asked about you (he was always a good actor), and then said Uma wanted Mal at the chip shop to discuss the deal to get Ben back.

He walked off with a smile and whistling, as Carlos started to call out for you. And at that you stepped around the corner, looking confused “uhhh, what happened?”

“Harry took Ben” Evie supplied in a frantic tone, looking up as Jay quickly climbed the stairway to get to Mal “where were you?” she asked as she looked back at you, brow raised.

“thought I heard something over there” you pointed behind you, towards the alley you had emerged from, lies spilling off your tongue like water.

Carlos grumbled, crossing his arms “probably one of his wharf rats distracting you so you wouldn’t distract him or something” you held down your laughter, you forgot sometimes that they knew about your ‘relationship’ with Harry. Yeah, he was pretty easily distracted by you, but the fact that they knew that made you laugh.

And then the gate to the stairway opened, and the three of you went up. Going to tell Mal the bad news.

-

You kept quiet as Mal spat at her friends, blaming them for Ben coming to the isle just for her. “if you never would’ve brought him here this never would’ve happened what were you thinking!?”

You clicked your tongue, looking away from Mal as Evie tried to defend herself and Ben “he was going to come with or without us we just wanted to protect him!”

“yeah and we blew it!” Carlos interrupted, setting another self-blame on himself and the others for failing to protect Ben.

“Okay! Okay…” Jay calmed the group down, holding his hands up and looking to Mal “so what are we going to do?”

“we!” Mal gestured between her and her friends, stepping down to the same floor they were on and grabbing her back “are not doing anything, this is between Uma and me, and she’s a punk. And guess what? now I have to go get him!”

Hades she made it sound like going to save ben was a chore she didn’t want to do. “woah woah woah.” Carlos held his hands up, his eyes wide in alert “you’re still going to have to go through Harry Hook and his wharf rats”

“yeah” Jay added on, agreeing with Carlos “you’re gonna need us, or at least take (y/n) with you, Harry has a soft spot for them you know that.” Mal scoffed, she didn’t trust you, even after six months.

“Uma said to come alone” Mal covered her distaste for you with Uma’s demand, curling her lip slightly as Evie tried to reason with her.

“Mal, come on” Carlos sighed, turning to Evie and shaking his head.

“she said to come alone…i know one thing” Carlos plopped down on the ratty couch, crossing his arms and looking up at his friends “im not going anywhere”

Jay sighed and looked back to Mal, glancing towards you as you examined your rifle. “we’ll be here when you get back” Mal just gave him a bored look, turning and walking off towards her area of the apartment to grab her jacket sleeves.

As soon as you heard her close the gate you clicked your tongue, collapsing your rifle and sliding it back into its sheath “she acts like Ben was in the wrong to be worried about her” you muttered crossing your arms. Evie looked as if she agreed with you, but was too afraid to say anything. Carlos and Jay just nodded, not happy with Mal’s attitude. “and now I have to go get him? Fuck it's as if she thinks Ben is a chore for her to begrudgingly look after” you muttered, pushing off the pillar and again, the three vks seemed to agree with you.

They really didn’t like Mal’s tone and her choice of words, yes she might’ve been frustrated but-that didn’t give her the right to talk to them like that when technically this entire thing was Mal’s fault.

Lying to Ben, then trying to spell him when he found out about those lies; which! according to Ben, he hadn't even harshly reacted to it, just disappointed. He only got mad when she tried to spell him, and then she ran off the first chance she got! Didn’t even try to give herself an hour to cool down or anything.

You just-you were mad at Mal, Ben was someone you had gotten close to in the recent months, and she-HIS FUCKING GIRLFRIEND- was acting as if Ben was just- a burden for her to take care of.

Yeah, you were just done with Mal. You turned on your heel and started to go down the stairs. “where are you going?” Jay asked, crossing his arms. You just looked at him, a sharp look in your eyes. He sighed, stepping back. “fine, just-don’t…don’t let him ruin getting Ben back” you nodded, continuing downstairs and leaving the apartment to go see Harry.

-

You woke up the next day in Harry’s bed, watching him walk around in nothing but his black pants as he got ready for the trade that day. You yawned and slipped out of his bed, slowly getting dressed as Harry rushed around to get all his gear “fuck where are meh belts” he grumbled, pausing as you gestured to the bed. He dropped to one knee and chuckled “wow love, yeh really tossed em all the way under ‘ere?” you shrugged, taking a water bottle from his fridge and cracking it open.

Harry stood, buckling the belts to rest across his hops and sped over to you, kissing the back of your neck as he held your bare and bruised hips “I gotta go, stay safe okay?” you nodded, tilting your head as he kissed the curve of your neck, then your cheek “i-I love yeh”

“love you too” you muttered back, voice just a bit stronger than his as he stuttered out the confession. He smiled, turning and putting on his shirt, sword sheath, and jacket. he then shoved on his boots, grabbed his hat, and flew out of his apartment, making his way to the docks to go prepare for the important trade.

You sighed, glancing around Harry’s apartment for a moment then got dressed, shrugging on your jacket after putting on the rest of your clothes and clipping your rifle sheath back on before walking out of the apartment and making your way back to the others.

-

You were hidden away high above the docks in the shadows, your rifle resting in your hands as you watched Mal taunt Uma about the wand, as Ben was being held by his jacket collar over the water; by Harry, who looked at Mal with mania induced eyes.

‘Just give her the damn fake wand so we can get Ben back’ you mentally called out to Mal, she was just enjoying taunting Uma, as if the damn KING of Auradon’s life wasn’t on the line! She had always been like this; as if everybody was was insignificant.

But finally, Uma demanded the wand after Mal showed off a spell, which was really just lying by using Dude’s new ability to talk. Uma believed it, and you wanted to scream out, wanted to tell her it was fake.

But you stayed silent, hoping Uma and Harry would forgive you for not telling them the plan before everything happened. Harry brought Ben over, squinting a bit as the shine of your rifle got into his eyes. He glanced up, licking his lips as he caught you in the shadows, but he didn’t dare reveal your location; even if you were on the other side of the trade.

Soon, a fight broke out; Uma had found out about the wand being fake, snapping the plastic over her knee and screaming for attack. You loaded up your smoke pellets into the rifle and began to take fire, bullets filled with smoke powder that exploded into huge clouds erupted at the pirate's feet and on the posts, grey mixing with the colored smoke fired by Carlos.

You switched to soft pellets a moment later and took a deep breath, silent shots hitting the pirate's sword handles, making them drop the sword or fumble for their weapons as they were thrown off balance. You perked up as you spotted Harry and Jay fighting on one of the higher-up dock balconies. You grunted in displeasure as Jay knocked Harry down and took his hook, laughing as he threatened to drop the hook In the water.

You waited as the hook swung back and forth on the sword blade, taking your short the moment it swung backward and the pellet hit Jay's hand. He yelped out, dropping the sword and cradling his hand. Jay's sword clattered into the sea as Harry's hook swung back forward and caught on the rails.

Jay furrowed his brows, having not seen the shot as Harry glanced back up at you with a grin and took his hook back. Jay quickly made his escape as Harry swung at him, and you tilted your head at Harry as he grinned up at you. Then his grin turned to horror “MOVE NOW!” He yelled out suddenly, his voice laced in panic. You turned, eyes widening as you saw one of Uma’s crew members, one that you knew wasn’t a part of the wharf rats when you were around six months ago, sword in hand about to strike you down.

You planted your hand on the wood below you and arched up, kicking the crew member in the chin and then leaping off the high-point you had chosen for your hiding place. you twisted around mid-air and shot at the pirate, the pellet hitting him square in the middle of his forehead, the soft pellet just hard enough to make him stumble back. The second shot you took hit him in the throat, and the pirate doubled over coughing.

You twisted back around and caught yourself on a hanging rope, mentally thanking your past self for putting on good gloves as you slid down to the main docks. Harry looked so damn relieved, and Uma was distracted by Mal as she tried to take the dragon bitch out.

Harry bit his lip as he looked at the fight, then raced over to you, cradling your face “are yeh okay?” he asked quietly, giving you several look-overs for any injuries.

You just smiled, taking his hand and kissing his palm “I am now…we have a fight to continue eh?” Harry chuckled as you said that, jumping back as you swung at him playfully with the butt of the rifle.

“minx” he grumbled, smiling as you ran off towards the heat of battle. He cornered Ben and slammed his sword against the ladder he was near, pinning him to it “Hiya~!”

Your rifle was definitely meant for long-range attacks but that never stopped you. You took out the pellet ammo and loaded up a few shots of small paintballs, you spun it around to rest the top of the barrel on your shoulder, pulling the trigger and hitting Bonnie in the chest, smirking as you heard her screech as pink paint splattered against her chest painfully.

You turned and blocked a slash from Gonzo with the middle of your gun, metal ringing in your ears. You dodged under another swing and swiped your feet under his, and Gonzo fell to the ground on his back. You cocked the rifle and took a shot at his forehead, paint splattering and knocking him out.

You squinted as Evie threw the last smoke bomb against the docks, purple smoke filling the area. You lept over Jonas’ legs and ran for the tunnel, sending a sad smile to Harry and Uma as they locked eyes with you.

Uma nodded in understanding; rage still laced in her eyes as Harry just looked like a lost puppy. You turn and ran down the tunnel, Mal kicking the bridge down behind you. You pursed your lips as you collapsed your rifle after unloading the rest of the paintball ammo, sliding the weapon into its sheath. Why hadn’t any of the crew cut off your one escape route?

Eh, not important.

As you climbed into the car after Mal and Ben, you saw something out of the corner of your eye at your feet. It was Mal’s spell book, as Carlos had gotten into the limo, it had fallen out of Mal’s bag he had been holding. You spotted Uma and Harry running around the upward alleyway and you slid into the limo, leaving the book behind.

Maybe they could actually do something useful with it.

*cotillion outfits. fully optional i just like creating outfit boards for this shit XD

Night had fallen on Auradon, and Cotillion was in full swing, high-energy music thrumming through the sky as lights pulsed and teens danced.

You rested against the outer rail, sipping at some punch, watching as your brother danced around with his date (which you think was one of Tarzan's kids) and your vk friends mingle around; waiting for Mal and Ben.

“Did yeh get stood up or somethin’?” a very familiar voice asked, but it couldn’t possibly be him, so you just shrugged, sipping at your punch.

“Didn’t accept any offers, the only person I would go with Is on the isle” you mumbled, looking down at your reflection in the red drink. Then a smirk appeared over your shoulder, a smirk only one person could do. “holy shit-“ you turned, surprised to see Harry fucking Hook, dressed in a fine blue indent pattered suit, his hair brushed back and for once; had clean eyeliner one. you slammed into his torso as Harry laughed gently “what-how?”

“Uma used tha’ spell book that got left behind” Harry spoke quietly, turning to face the ocean as he spotted Evie looking around, not wanting her to see him and alert the others “we both jumped through the barrier as it closed. she’s below deck now, spelled Beasty boy n everything”

You were about to ask what kinda spell but then the fanfare played, Lumière announcing Mal’s arrival. She stepped out into the spotlight, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights.

And then Ben came out, and everything after that when crazy; Uma had love spelled him, Ben announced his ‘gift’ to her, the removal of the isle barrier (which fuck yes for all the kids but uhhhhhhh yeaaahh maybe your poacher of a dad wasn’t the best person to let loose, let alone the rest of the villains), and then Jane revealed Ben’s gift to Mal, a stain glass window that….was kinda--iffy. Ben was kneeling before Mal, holding his hand out to her as she seemed to hover her hand over his, her eyes glowing as her purple hair blew in the wind, the sun behind her head.

…mmm yes a VERY equal relationship, no weird power imbalance…

Anyways.

Mal kissed Ben, breaking Uma’s spell and Uma ran off to attempt to grab the wand, but was unsuccessful. She then ran to the rails, Mal attempting to talk her down with….what seemed to be empathy? But Mal had relentlessly bullied Uma since they were kids and Uma did not trust Mal, instead leaping off the ship to the waters below.

Harry called out for Uma, arm going around your shoulder as water began to rise from the depths. And then, Uma emerged as a gigantic Cecaelia, just as her mother had years ago and soaking everyone with the resulting waves of water. She let out a taunt towards Mal and whipped her tentacles, water bashing against the ship and sending some of the cotillion guests stumbling back.

Uma glanced at you and Harry and waved her hand, a teal glow pushing you back towards the cabins to keep you both safe. Harry reached out for your brother as he stumbled by, the three of you hanging on for dear life as Uma continued to thrash the ship.  

But then Mal turned into a dragon, and you had to say…it looked dorky as fuck. But Mal attacked Uma, sending barrages of fire and flying above the transformed sea witch as Uma wiped her tentacles at her and ducked underwater to avoid the flames.

Soon Ben dived into the water and talked the two girls down, Uma making Ben promise not to send Harry back as she disappeared underneath the waves.

And so, after Ben climbed back aboard, he walked over to Harry with a grim smile “I won't break my promise to Uma” Ben said quietly, ignoring the fuming Mal in the background as Ben welcomed Harry to Auradon.

As the party continued on, you took Harry’s hand and led him off the ship and to the beach below, walking away from cotillion as lights and music blasted behind you, slowly fading into the background as you walked closer to Auradon prep.

“so…” Harry started, looking up at the night sky, something he had never seen properly before right now “wha’ do we do now?”

“well,” you hummed, swinging your intertwined hands slightly “you’re mostly gonna go to school with us, gonna have’ta room with a random Auradon kid most likely, we’re gonna officially be together, and right now?” you grabbed his collar and pulled him to you, lips inches away from his “im going to kiss you” Harry chuckled, closing his eyes and cupping your neck, pressing his lips to yours in a deep kiss.

You tilted your head, taking your other hand, and curling it into Harry’s hair, pulling him even closer. Harry clipped his hook to his belt loop and took his now free hand to wrap around your waist, pulling you to meld into his body.

You pulled away for air, opening your eyes slightly, smiling up at Harry as he moved to rest his head on your shoulder “I missed yeh” he mumbled, smiling into your shoulder as you held him close.

“I missed you too” you whispered back, you finally had your pirate by your side again, and you wouldn’t have to hide your love anymore.

Maleficent from the Maleficent movies would hate Mal and i will die on this hill. Maleficent was drugged and used by someone who told her that he cared about her and, to her at least, seemed to have the intentions of starting a relationship. She knows how that ultimate betrayal of trust feels. Mal drugged and used Ben, as let's not forget that when she decided to give him the antidote (not knowing he had already been cured, fully believing he was still under the drug's influence) it was directly as she was about to get exactly what she wanted. And her plan was for him to take it after she had suceeded in what she was using him for. Maleficent would lose any respect or love she felt for Mal if she heard this. In fact, it'd be likely that she would try to cut Ben off from Mal as she would know that a relationship built off drugging is toxic and not acceptable.

[hannahhook7744]

In defense of the Doug and Ben;

Disclaimer; Mainly about Doug. If you like Mal, this isn't for you. If you ship Malvie, not for you either.

Okay, this is gonna be long and ranty, but I am so done with all this Ben and Doug slander and hate! They are two of the most wholesome characters in this series (especially Ben) and do not deserve this crap. So, I am gonna be explaining their actions from the common complaints I see. But first, let me start off by saying you can ship whatever you want as long as you aren't disrespectful towards others and bashing characters for the stupidest reasons. If you don't like this, than don't read it and go on. Now, let's start with Ben since their reasons are the PETTIEST;

The reasons people dislike Ben and discredit his relationship with Mal;

He yelled at Mal for using magic, not telling him, and trying to turn back time. He must be abusive and controlling.

He doesn't spend time with her friends.

He is naive and dumb and tried to bring Uma to Auardon.

He forgot the isle kids.

He hurt Audrey so he'll hurt Mal too.

He is fake and it's his fault Mal has been unhappy all her life.

Mal is a much better person than him (I have seen all of these reasons personally and it's infuriating).

These are all bullshit reasons and I'll tell you why, one by one;

Ben had EVERY FUCKING RIGHT to be mad at Mal. He thought she was trying to adjust to Auardon and if you didn't notice, Magic is a no-no in Auardon. He doesn't give a fuck about the magic. He doesn't want her to get in trouble or too reliant on it. Magic can work like a drug you know and if she got caught using it before he got the council to agree to him changing the rule, it can cause a scandal and her more pain. He's also just as stressed as she is and upset she didn't tell him she was using it still or struggling. Because HELLO she's lying to him AGAIN. and what does she do instead of talking it out with him and dealing with the consequences of her own actions? She tries to fucking use magic to turn back time so he wouldn't REMEMBER the incident at all! Do you know how many problems her magic has caused in the books, series, and movies? Look at things from Ben's point of view. He's a 16 year old boy who's been trained to be a king his whole life by controlling parents, his people disrespect him constantly and thought and still think his proclamation is a bad idea, and now he's king and has to FIGHT for a whole generation of kids who are trapped with abusers. As well as the core four and Freddy who are in Auardon. All 6 of them have eyes on them at all times and he's trying to make sure nothing messes it up. His dad was cursed along with his staff as a child on Christmas. He probably feared the same happening to him as a child and he's been spelled once before. And ended up hurting his now ex who was a childhood friend by breaking up with her in front of two whole schools by singing a song about another girl. He knows if he tells anyone, Mal and her friends could get shipped back to the isle and his entire plan ruined. And then she tried to make him forget about this moment-- their first argument as a teenage couple-- while he is stressed as all living fuck, having to drop tourney and swords and shields to run a kingdom while still in school, while she's been abusing her magic to make things easier for her. Wouldn't you be pissed too ? And who's to say she hadn't done that before? He was probably terrified that she'd do it again or that she had before. And he felt horrible for blowing up at her and went to the isle to bring her home. He is not abusive.

He is a 16 year old king. He has barely any time to himself and their is 6 month long time skips between the movies. He probably has spent time with them. Alot more than we do see in the movies and he and they clearly care about eachother. They can't show us everything on screen you know.

He is not dumb. Naive yes. Dumb no. He is an empathic, intelligent young man who wanted to give every kid on the isle a chance. Even the girl who kidnapped him. Does that make him naive? Yes. Does that make him stupid. No. He is a good, smart kid who understands that Uma is hurt and rightfully angry that the core four were chosen first and that no other kids other than Freddie have been removed from the isle. He understands she's mad about the 4 at a time rule and wants to help her and her crew without any blood being spilled. He tried to negotiate so she could have a say without having what he thought was the real wand. Mal has taken the real one before. How was he supposed to know that it wasn't the REAL one? Especially since he probably wouldn't have thought of printing out the wand with a 3rd printer? Most people wouldn't have. Why does that make Ben dumb?

The whole idea of him forgetting the vks is also ridiculous. Auardon has a system and a council of heroes who don't want to listen to him. He's probably been working his ass off negotiating and writing out scenarios and plans attempting to get more kids off the isle in bigger numbers while also attempting to show how well and adjusted the other vks are so the public would agree and make it easier for him. Not to mention the whole running the kingdom part has probably been drawing the whole thing out longer than he planned/assumed it would. That doesn't mean he forgot them.

The whole fucking 'Did I mention' break up thing with Audrey is absolutely NOT HIS FAULT! That whole thing is the core four's fault--mainly Mal's for coming up with the idea! They drugged him with a love potion -- one thay was WAY TOO STRONG-- and that is what lead to Ben breaking up to Audrey in front of two whole schools. Yes, he should have apologized and that is his fault but the whole Audrey heart break thing isn't his fault. And he will not hurt Mal. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised If things happened the other way around due to Mal's track record that all of YOU seem to keep forgetting!

No, it is not his fault. It's his parents fault that the isle was made, not his and he is trying to fix their mistakes, so why exactly does everyone blame him for the vks' terrible childhood and their suffering? And why exactly is it his fault that the girl who drugged him and lied about the reason is miserable being queen? Especially when she hasn't communicated this with him! Ben is alot of things but he is NOT a fucking mind reader at the best of times-- and being stressed as all living fuck at 16 with no free time for himself does not turn him into ONE for godsake! And he isn't fake. He loves her for her and stands up for her and what he believes in all the damn time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 uh, no she's not. Dude, have you read her wiki? Did we watch the same movies? Ben is a sweetheart who wants to help the isle kids. Mal terrorized the isle kids nonstop. She stole candy from a baby. In the wicked it is stated that "But she does enjoy coming up with evil plans and is the most feared at her previous school because of her reputation." She got Evie banished for 10 years because she didn't get invited to her 6th birthday party (her mother probably sent the invites, mind you). She used Jane's insecurities against her and manipulated her, causing her to try and steal the wand. She tried to push Evie into Cruella's fur closet that she knew was filled with bear traps knowing that it could kill or maim her. She was gonna go along with Maleficent's plan and let Evie grab Maleficent's scepter so she could take a 100 year nap. She forced Carlos to throw a party at Hellhall despite knowing how dead he'd be if Cruella found out. She spelled Ben and lied about why she did it, and didn't apologize to Audrey for a long time. The apology she gave Uma was weak as fuck. She tricked the sea three and Celia into working with her and lied to her friends. She was gonna close off the isle forever and not tell her friends about it until it was too late. She was gonna let a ton of kids die. She dumped shrimp on Uma's hair and got her stuck with the nickname 'Shrimpy' and still calls her that when she is a hero. Mad Maddy had purple hair but before Mal ruined it with lye which forced her hair to be aqua green as Mal felt like she should be the only purple hair girl on the Isle. And she also destroyed Maddy's dolls and so much more. Mal is not a better person than Ben at ALL .

Now enough about Ben. Let's move on Doug and the bullshit people are spewing to justify their hatred of Devie (and his character) even though they could just say 'I don't ship them' like reasonable people. Reasons they hate Doug;

He's boring and has no personality.

He's a stalker.

He's a jealous prick who assumed she was cheating on him 'for no reason' yelled at her and that's 'abuse'.

He pretended that her true love's kiss didn't work .

He only likes her for her looks.

They have nothing in common.

He forgets his own family members names so he'll forget important things for Evie too.

He didn't support or defend her at Family day.

All of these reasons can easily be explained away and are also complete bullshit and here's why;

He is actually pretty interesting when you pay attention to him. He knows Spanish, he's a band nerd who can play guitar and a trumpet, he's great at chemistry, and he's good at accounting and helps Evie because he cares about her and wants to help her. And he is fine with Dizzy living at Evie's cabin where he presumably will move into when he graduates. He also seems to have a bit of mischievous streak and isn't blind to Chad's bad habits. He's also kind and was nice to them from the beginning-- not just Evie. And he's not against magic and actually seems interested in it and history. He is not boring and y'all need to stop blaming the writers' lack of expanding and showing his character more on him being boring and bland when that is not the case.

That whole stalking thing is complete bullshit. He followed her once that we know of and eavesdropped on one conversation. Is that a bit creepy? Yes. But he only did it after he saw Chad-- a boy he's known his whole life and knows can't be trusted-- slip her a note. He followed her to warn her about Chad, fully admitted that he followed her and listened to the conversation, seemed embarrassed, and told her info she wanted to know. He is not a stalker for any of that shit. It was one time and he was just looking out for her, which is why Evie wasn't too mad or freaked out in that scene by it.

Have you guys not seen descendants 2? He had every reason to think she was cheating. She was acting werid and secretive, keeping things from him, and he's an insecure teenage boy from a big family in a land where everyone values looks and manly things. He knows she's out of his league and he's probably heard one too many jokes about how she'll leave him for someone better, how his princely classmates will steal her from him, and how she's probably using him or dating him until she finds someone better because kids are cruel and tactless. He's probably been convinced by everyone that he isn't good enough for Evie. He's been overlooked and ignored by teachers, adults, his peers, and girls before because he isn't a handsome, manly prince. So of course he'd suspect she was cheating and that stupid lie the boys told about her camping most certainly didn't help. Sure, she could have been throwing him a surprise party but he knows when his birthday is and if it isn't close than he knows she isn't doing that. She told him nothing and acted suspicious. Her friends avoided him and acted suspicious, and told him a lie that made no sense. As far as we know, Evie doesn't like camping but if she did and was going camping, she would have told Doug that and not been acting suspicious. And y'all forget the most important thing. He asked if she was (by yelling, but still) and took her word for it when she said no. Most people wouldn't have believed her. Does he get credit for that? No. He gets hate.

Dude, he's a fucking teenager. Yes, it is a dick move but he only pretended for like a minute and stopped afterwards. Teenagers do shitty pranks at the wrong time. That doesn't make him abusive or awful. It was a one time thing. Y'all telling me you weren't a dick once as a kid or teen?

False. He loves every single piece and part of her, including her looks, and isn't surprised when she does well on her test without the mirror. Next.

Lies again. They are both incredibly smart people who love chemistry and their friends and history and so many other things. They love and support one in several ways, and I will not stand for this slander.

It is obvious that some of y'all ain't come from big families. He has at least 6 uncles and presumably they all have spouses and kids. He has one brother that we know of and 8 known cousins. That does not take in account cousins-in-law, grandparents, and over extended or unknown relatives. I come from a big family and let me tell you, it is hard to remember names and dates when you have that many people to keep track of. That doesn't make him neglectful or a bad person, and it won't make him a bad boyfriend.

He may not have defended her at family day but he did defend her and stand up for her to Mr Deley. A teacher. When he is literally a nerdy kid with no sporty talents, good looks, or known royal blood. He risked his own neck to advocate for her there and stopped her from ratting herself out and getting in trouble. And as for family dad, he apologized to her for having to go. He is a scrawny nerd who could get beat up by Chad or others if he ignored Chad to talk to her and yelling at an adult, let alone a royal adult, in front of several other adults (family included) in Auardon would not ended well for him. He would have gotten in trouble and wouldn't have been able to help her later on and Evie clearly knows this, or else she would have been angrier.

These are two inexperienced teenage boys who were nice to these kids who they had heard nothing good about with no ulterior motivates. They're kind hearted souls who want the best for those they care about and they see the best in people and neither of them turned on the vks when they showed no interest in them. So stop the fucking slander and stop claiming any characters who yell and argue with their partners are abusers. These two aren't and are probably some of the best things to happen to Evie and the others. Humans make mistakes and shouldn't be defined by them when they aren't that fricking big of a deal.

The Stormbringer Crew Memes Part 1;

Descendants memes featuring some of my ocs. Like the title said. Enjoy. Slight Mal bashing.

🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴🏴‍☠️🦴

What probably happened post d3 with the 4 Hook siblings.

Hannah in d1 regarding Maleficent's orders.

Hannah in D1.

Hades' kids in a nutshell. Mal trying to fight Skia and their siblings inferring because they know it'd end badly for her (Mal).

You know how the core four knew Mal was using magic in-between d1 and d2? THIS is basically Hannah trying to get Mal to stop lying to Ben about her magic use before it ends badly.

Hannah before they get to Auardon.

Hannah all her life.

Another diss to Maleficent's plan.

A little sibling-ly squabble.

Everything has Changed;

Summary; 12 year old Hannah Hook gets invited to come with the core four to Auardon. This is her reaction.

Trigger warning; Some Mal bashing because this is Harry Hook's sister and pre Mal leaving the isle. It will get better over time.

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

It was proving to be an inauspicious morning for the young duo who just couldn't seem to get any studying done, no matter how hard they tried to. Which was why they were currently sword-fighting instead of rereading the book that Hades had assigned them for their test.

Hey, don't look at them like that. Studying is hard! Especially when you have ADHD, dyslexia, and a short attention span. What else were they supposed to do in this situation? Not sword fight? Ha, as if that'd be a viable option. Besides they'd get back to the whole studying thing when they grew bored of their little duel in an hour or two. Maybe.

Hannah made sure to keep a firm grip on the hilt of her sword as she dodged a blow from Skia's sword with ease. Swiftly maneuvering her way out of the blade's reach with far more grace than she ever exhibited in anything else other than writing. Smiling with mirth and allowing herself to let out an enchanting laugh that just seemed to radiate warmth as she did so.

The brunette then made it look as if she was going to perform a high guard maneuver only to switch to the pillow guard maneuver at the last second. Only for Skia to deflect the move, as if she had seen it coming. That was no good; that meant that she was becoming predictable. Hannah made a mental note to herself to work on that before shaking off her shock and thrusting her blade towards her friend once again. Only for it to be blocked.

Hannah (rightfully) swore in frustration at the fact that she wasn't doing so hot. Knowing that Cj would never let her live it down if she were to get word of how poorly she was doing against someone who didn't have the sea in their veins like they did. Hannah decided that she was gonna have to try harder than she already was and practice more until she improved. She couldn't let herself get sloppy. It would reflect poorly on her crew and her family if she did that, and that simply wouldn't do.

The point of her blade barely missed Skia, only adding to her frustration because she knew just as well as the Bluenette did, that niether of them would stop until they either drew blood or got interrupted. Everyone knew that. Because most of the kids were the exact same when it came to dueling-- whether or not they were just practicing. No one stopped till someone was minorly injured or until they got interrupted by someone. That's just how things went. On the isle at least.

Hannah wasn't sure if that was the way it was off the isle. She had never been off the isle to know if it was or not. No one else had either because of the stupid barrier that was keeping all of them trapped there. Oh, how Hannah longed to be free from this blasted place. Free from the hellish isle that posioned all that lived there in one or another. Free from Gaston and Frollo and Ratclifee's IQ-lowering ranting and raving that no one ever really listened to.

She longed to see healthy grass and to play in and drink clean water. She longed to taste fresh food and to bask in the sun's light for the first time. She longed for the safety and care free life that she saw on tv but also for the thrilling adventures the pirates from the before times told of as far back as she could remember.  And she longed to experience it all with her friends and family, and maybe even a lover if they were funny enough for her liking.  But she knew that it would never happen because it simply wasn't possible and that was a fact of life. One that wouldn't change.

Because the facts of life never changed. People lived and died no matter what you did. You can't save everyone. Cruella is nuts. Her (Hannah's) brother was nearly as bad.  Half of the adults on the isle are narcissists. All of these were unbeatable, undebatable, and unchallengable facts of life. Even if she wished that they weren't.

Skia lifted her sword, only to pause as she glanced at something over Hannah's shoulder. Hannah didn't even have to glance back to know what/who Skia was seeing. The half grimace, half snarl on her friend's face was enough for the brunette to know that the undesirable had boarded their ship without permission once again. 'Son of -- I really have to start pulling up the gang plank when we're on board to prevent the dictator from boarding' Hannah thought to herself, just barely suppressing an irrated sigh as she sheathed her sword and turned to face their enemy.

She, however, allowed herself to scowl since she knew that the animosity between the two of them was perfectly mutual. And because she wasn't sure that it was physically possible for her not to scowl at the purple haired fairy that had caused her brother and his crew so much pain over the years. Not that she was willing to try and find out if it was. That would be a bigger waste of energy than Hannah was willing to give to Mal of all people; Mal wasn't worth that.

"Hello little miss dictator " the younger girl greeted, making sure to put extra emphasis on the 'dic' part of dictator just to rub in how much she hated the elder in front of her. "Who exactly gave YOU permission to enter MY ship because I sure as hell don't remember doing it"

Mal rolled her eyes-- how dare she-- cocking her hips in a way that made her seem far too arrogant and confident for Hannah's liking. Hannah and Skia both narrowed their eyes, both equally unamused with the balant disrespect that the brat was showing. God, it was so hard to believe that her and Skia were related. She was just so fucking annoying and hauty all the fucking time. Hannah would never understand how anyone can stand her and her stupid holier than thou attitude that seemed to toxify whatever room she entered.

Before Hannah could even think about throwing the older girl overboard for her insolence, Skia spoke up.  Purposely keeping her eyes on her to clearly show that she was addressing Hannah and not Mal "It seems her ego has gotten so big that it's negatively affecting the way her brain functions. Assuming she ever had one, that is" Hannah smirked, biting back a laugh.

She loved Skia's quick insults and quick thinking. It always came in handy. "Let's hope it stops growing before it weighs her down, then, shall we?" Hannah replied, adding in her own two cents. Making sure to keep her eyes focused  on Mal's face the entire time so she could see just how much it pissed her off.

Unfortunately, she looked unbothered and blew at her nails, like their inconvenience was pointless to her. "You're going to Auardon in a few hours, fishhook. So start packing " Hannah froze and was distantly aware of the thud she heard from behind. Probably from Skia dropping her sword from being equally as astounded as her captain was. "Uh what?"

Hannah had not expecting that. She had thought that Mal had come to stir up trouble or steal from them again. Or to leave a message for Harry or Uma as usual. But instead she got this-- whatever  this was-- and she didn't know how to react to it. Mal laughed, far more amused than the situation called for. "People from Auardon are coming to get us so grab your shit and meet us at the gates"

Hannah took a step back, feeling all of the confidence she had accumulated over the years drain from her with that mere sentence. Fear gripping her heart for the first time in forever at the thought of leaving home without her family and crew. "What do you mean? Why should I go with you? Why are they coming for us? Is this a prank? What did you do?" she knew that she was rambling but she didn't care. She was scared and confused and wary, and felt as if all the air in her lungs had been sucked out of her. Why did that always happen when she was afraid?

Mal rolled her eyes once again, no doubt finding her emotional reaction overdramatic. Like always. There was a reason she didn't like her after all. Well, more like several. Several reasons but this topped the list. Hannah wanted to scream in frustration but Mal didn't give her the chance. "Prince Ben wanted to take some Villain Kids and show Auardon that we aren't like our parents. Silly right? It's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Skia hummed, no doubt thinking of charge laws and loopholes that would allow her to accompany Hannah to Auardon. Since Mal hadn't addressed her at all, which meant that she likely wasn't technically allowed to come with. Which was just stupid because it was a well known fact that wherever Hannah went, her friends followed. "And he chose you? Of all people? WHY?! You are like the WORST person to show that!"

The Purplette just shrugged in response, still somehow managing to look bored throughout all of this. Hannah wondered how she managed it. Though she didn't think she'd ever really know the answer to that. Mal certainly wouldn't tell. She never did. "Becuase my mother was the most powerful and baddest of all villians. He probably wants to show that if I can change, anyone can". Hannah wouldn't admit it but that made sense. That didn't mean that she wasn't skeptical,  however.

"And how do I know that this isn't some ploy to capture me and hold me hostage as a bantering tool or something?" Call her paranoid but she wasn't about to take any chances. She had learned her lesson the first 3 times she had decided to give the purple haired fairy the benefit of the doubt. She wasn't going to make that mistake again. And it seems Mal knew that because she came prepared. "There's a letter"

Her word alone wasn't enough to convince Hannah. Not after the many bad interactions between the two of them. Not after the many bad interactions between her family and friends and Mal. It just simply wasn't good enough. She had to see some actual proof or she wouldn't be going anywhere. "Do you have it on you?"

Mal reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out the fabled letter, holding it out to her. The younger girl quickly snatched it and gave it a quick once over-- and sure enough, it was real. Or at least, it looked that way. Complete with a signature from the soon-to-be king himself. Her jaw dropped instinctively-- something she didn't notice until Skia elbowed her in the side. She swallowed heavily before clearing her throat and tightening her grip on the letter. Trying not to show just how rattled she was by the whole situation.

"Okay. Got it. You can go now. I'll let you know whether or not I decide to go after I've discussed it with my family and crew" Mal looked offended and crossed her arms. "And why would I leave?" It took every fiber in Hannah's very being not to snap at her right there and then. Why did she always have to push her buttons? "Because I never invited you on my ship in the first place and you've done your job so you can leave now. Since I assume you have better things to do than just sit here and watch me read"

Mal rolled her eyes once again, scoffing. Hannah bite her lip, just barely holding back a snarky reply about how her eyes would get stuck that way if she kept doing it. She knew it would just start another argument or fight, and keep Mal here longer if she did. And she didn't want that all. She just wanted her to go so she could read the damn letter and discuss it thoroughly with her crew, and family. Was that too much to ask for? Apparently it wasn't because Mal left as soon as that thought entered her head.

As soon as she was sure Mal was gone, Skia muttered"Bloody show pony"-- No doubt just as frustrated as Hannah was by the whole ordeal-- before turning towards her and asking "so what's it say?" Hannah glanced at the letter and let out a sigh "alot". "Well, time is ticking. So I guess we better start reading" was the (unamused) reply she got. This was gonna be a long day.
