#{ this is canon until d.escendants 5 proves me wrong ok sfdfdsfs }

okay i'm finally writing bridget's about page so it's time to make a separate post about The Prank. (details under the cut)

I'm basing a lot of this on lines from "Perfect Revenge" and personal headcanons (such as Ella and Bridget being childhood sweethearts. hear me out-). Sooo let's go over how Uliana describes her method of vengeance:

What's this? A book? That's it? I asked for a painful punishment But hold up, wait, this might be evil on a plate So I'ma serve her what she deserves, what she deserves And that's justice, dressed up like the sweetest dessert Perfect

The "book" Uliana is referring to is a cookbook; judging by the lyrics, it looks like there's a dessert in there that has some kind of wicked effect. Her whole gripe with Bridget is that Bridget """humiliated""" her with a cupcake, so I'm of the opinion that Uliana uses a cupcake to somehow get back at her.

Now let's talk Carrie (I promise this is relevant). In Stephen King's story (sorry, I'm basing this on the movie(s) because I can't stand his writing style, don't @ me), Carrie is a social outcast because of her naivete, most of which stems from religious beliefs. The beginning of the movie demonstrates this when Carrie gets her period and panics because she doesn't know that periods are a thing (thanks, mom); the other girls in the locker room mock her and throw tampons at her, telling her to "plug it up!"

This bullying escalates until the night of prom; Carrie's date is a guy who, unbeknownst to her, was dared to go with her for prank reasons. The other students rig the vote for homecoming king and queen so that Carrie wins, but when she gets onstage and has the happiest moment of her life, the pranksters douse her in pig's blood. Carrie is humiliated and devastated, and those intense emotions lead to her using her psychic abilities to massacre all of the kids at the prom.

Now, if you ask me, this style of "prank" TOTALLY fits what could have happened to Bridget (because it's Disney, though, it's definitely toned down).

For one, her date -- Cinderella wasn't DARED to go with her (they love each other listen hear me out), she asked Bridget out of her own volition. This doesn't mean that Cinderella wouldn't be used against her, though.

I'm willing to bet that the "sweetest dessert" Uliana's going to serve isn't meant to be served to Bridget, but to Ella. Descendants has used "love potions" and stuff before, so I don't think it's a stretch for the villains to create a potion that turns Ella into the worst version of herself (kind of like the "glass that goes into your eyes and makes you evil" from Once Upon a Time). At Castlecoming, Ella belittles and berates Bridget in front of everyone...and being the sensitive soul that Bridget was at the time, she was heartbroken and devastated.

I'm sure there was more to it (like Uliana and the others kicking her while she's down somehow, or maybe the "dessert" affected more people than Ella, but Ella was the biggest blow to Bridget), but villains in Disney have become Villains for lesser offenses, y'know? (Regina, for example, held a grudge against a CHILD for years because of a simple misunderstanding.)

I can't wait to be proven wrong in Descendants 5, but until then, this headcanon is LAW (on this blog, anyway).
