National Mother Goose Day

You may already be familiar with Mother Goose, the rhymes and tales that she spun. The little old lady who rode her goose, and has been a staple for many over the years. Much like The Brothers Grimm, Dr Seuss, Robert Munch, and Shel Silverstein. Yet, Mother Goose is something altogether. Mother Goose is that warm, fondly remembered family member. The one that shows up for family reunions,…

St Ethelbert’s Day

The Conversion of King Ethelbert. Source: Fr Lawrence Lew on Flickr

Today is St Ethelbert’s Day. Ethelbert’s considerable claim to fame is that he was reputedly the first Christian Anglo-Saxon king, welcoming St Augustine on his evangelising mission to Ethelbert’s kingdom of Kent, and installing Augustine as England’s first Archbishop, based at Canterbury. Ethelbert was duly canonised after his death and commemorated by the Venerable Bede with the poetic phrase: ‘[Ethelbert was] The third English King to hold sway over all southern Britain, but the first to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.’

In fact Ethelbert had been a pagan monarch but his wife, Queen Bertha, originally a Roman Catholic Frankish princess, was a fervent Christian which was why the king was willing to give a hearing to Augustine (interestingly apparently in the open air to avoid falling for any Christian conjuring tricks). Although not initially persuaded personally by Augustine’s teachings, Ethelbert did allow the bishop to practice freely amongst his subjects and the new faith spread like wildfire. By the time of Ethelbert’s death, most of the people of Kent had converted. If the extent of Ethelbert’s own Christian beliefs remains a subject of dispute, there can be no denying his pivotal role in the process of the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England.

DESCENDANTS: The Rise of Red! (or the REAL hidden story in the movie + what’s gonna happen in the sequel THEORY!)

So we ALL watched the movie right? We ALL thought the plot sucked and the movie ended abruptly with a underwhelming climax?

WELL HERES WHY WERE WRONG!

So I did some really deep thinking, and I figured, these writers can’t be THAT stupid? The director can’t be THAT idiotic, lame, and boring? That would just embarrass Disney, not to mention all the well respected actors that are in this!

So I thought hard. I thought hard and I thought long. Like hella long. And I tallied up all the plot inconsistencies, all the weird explanations, all the very specific lines in songs, and I did it. I fixed descendants rise of red! I FIGURED IT OUT!

So!! Here it is! What TRULY happened that crowncoming night! And what going back in time actually did!

(I intentionally put a keep reading so if anyone wanted to avoid spoilers they can)

So! Now that we’re under the keep reading. Anything spoilerly can be said!

So first things first. The biggest theory everyone is saying.

ELLA DID IN FACT POISON BRIDGET!

Yes! I said it! We all thought the movie was leading to this! So it was underwhelming when it was revealed it was Uliana and her crew were the origins behind the prank.

OR WERE THEY?

We all saw that once they opened the book; they were frozen. Because they were ‘bad’ and Merlin’s security system was set into place.

And many of you came up with the giant plot hole that this would have happened REGARDLESS of whether Red and Chloe interfered.

AND YOUR RIGHT!

This sole reason, is why the group COULDNT have done it! Not only were they frozen, but they couldn’t read the recipe, and were properly sent to detention, ergo exonerating them from being at the dance! Meaning their was literally no way they could have been behind the prank!

So with them being withheld from the dance, who could it be? Who was the one person who was originally at the dance, but now no longer could be? What was the one actual change that Red and Chloe set off?

ELLA. AND THE VASE!

We all see that when the two go into Ella’s house, Chloe knocks over a Vase. Breaking it. Lady Tremaine GROUNDS Ella! Meaning that she COULD NOT go to the dance!

This DIDNT happen originally! Meaning Ella DID go to the dance in the original timeline! Which is proven when Cinderella (I’m calling Adult Ella, Cinderella) talks to The Red Queen (I’m calling Adult Bridget The Red Queen) about how the prank being pulled was wrong. She had first handed knowledge of the prank. AND she told Chloe she fell in love with Charming at the dance.

But! Since Ella is the only difference in the two timelines in regarding to the dance, this is PROOF that she was the one who actually pranked Bridget, NOT Uliana and her crew!

So here’s what I think happened!

Ella, who saw Bridget being bullied about the cupcakes, and saw Uliana take all the cupcakes. And promptly being threatened by Uliana. Decided to bake Bridget something to cheer her up. However Bridget literally has all of the cookbooks in auradon. As shown. So she snoops around and finds Merlin’s cookbook! (Because it’s also shown she’s okay with breaking the rules if it’s for a good cause. From her get our hands dirty song!) and double and, the book WOULD open for her because she is a good person. AND she was doing it for a good reason!

she flips through the book and finds some simple blase recipe that cheers Bridget up. Maybe gives her cool hair (Red hair??). Something simple but sweet.

However. While doing this, she happens to see the Monster food recipe. She doesn’t look at it for long of course. Just enough to remember it’s a thing.

BACK TO BRIDGET!

Now! I swear to whatever’s out there that the person who played Chloe said there was a queer character in Dedcendants 4. I can’t find it now but it was some tumblr or insta post. I know cause I immediately told my friend afterwards.

Anywho. I think Bridget is the queer character! We see in the movie her only friend was Ella. Not only that but she YEARNS for someone to care about enough to ask her out (in a romantic way like charming just tried to do for Ella) Ella, who again. Is Bridget’s only friend. And ergo, shows her love no one else does, IMMEDIATELY asks her to go to the dance with her! (Might have said as friends in the other timeline too. Who knows)

But! This only makes Bridget’s crush on Ella even BIGGER. And she falls in love with her! She probably thinks they might have a chance!

This is also somewhat proven by The Red Queens song ‘Love Ain’t It’

Title ; Love Ain’t It

Red : “With all the Grief you’ve experienced”

Red (Speaking of Cinderella) : So you Knew her?

The Red Queen : I saw through her. Cinderella and I were classmates in a way.

(Notice how she uses Ella’s mocking name after she has time to recover from the interaction. She said ELLA originally when she caught her off guard. Also. The line. I SAW THROUGH HER. It’s a double edged sword. Saw through her fronts. Saw the hurting girl inside. Saw through her LIES saw the mean girl behind)

Proven by the next lines

The red Queen : I spent way to much time in this place

So I had to escape

the people might smile

but their two faced, too fake.

Girl was relentlessly bullied and betrayed by someone she loved

And Ella Knows it.

Cinderella : Some people act mean at first, because their too afraid to feel

[the reverse is also true]

Cinderella : Look hon. Back in high school, a mean prank was played

And ever since that fateful day

She was never the same, it’s quite a shame.

So the Red Queen sings a whole song about how Love isn’t it. And we ALL KNOW that her only connection to love as a kid was through ELLA. meaning Bridget HAD A CRUSH on Ella. Was IN LOVE. With Ella.

So. How did Crowncoming originally happen you ask?

Here’s my theory

Ella and Bridget go to the dance. They are happy! They have fun. Bridget falls further in love with Ella. Meanwhile. Ella falls in love with Charming!

Her and Charming hit it off. And Ella starts to feel loved and appreciated for the first time in her life.

Then, Bridget performs her ‘Shuffle of Love’ dance. All the attention is on her! Even Charmings.

Ella feels robbed. She feels jealous. She feels angry that her friend is stealing the one good moment she is finally having to herself.

And so she briefly remembers the spell. And in a moment of error, she either A. Remembers the recipe already and makes the recipe. Or B. Re-Sneaks back into the office to see it. However I’m going with A because the book wouldn’t have opened again for Ella because of her bad intentions.

Whichever way. Bridget eats the baked treat. (I think it was a cupcake. Ella could have lied and said it was from the earlier batch)

And then. IT HAPPENS! Bridget is turned into an ugly terrifying monster. Everyone LAUGHS at her. Everyone makes fun of her

And Bridget, who is confused, understands only ONE person could have done this to her. She looks at someone she was in love with. And just sees Ella and Charming laughing. Laughing at her. Bonding over laughing at HER.

Bridget runs off. In tears. Broken inside. With an equally broken heart.

Maybe if Ella had immediately realized her error and run after her she would have turned out differently. But no. It is proven that Ella stayed at the dance and stayed with Charming. They wouldn’t have had the chance to fall in love if she left.

So Bridget. Spends the rest of the night terrified. Looking like a monster. And being laughed and screamed and made fun of everywhere she goes. And not only that. But her ONLY FRIEND. Her CRUSH. Someone she TRUSTED did this to her

Now THIS! THIS is something can break a person. This is something that can change their views on the world. On humanity itself. She was a kind girl. Was kind to everyone no matter how meanly they treated her. But through it all, Ella was her rock. Her friend. Her secret love. Someone who was good and kind through it all.

But she betrayed her. Tbe one nice person betrayed her. Showing that being nice doesn’t do it. Being nice does not mean good things happen. Being nice doesn’t is worthless if this is what it gets you. Everyone is two faced. And the only thing that’s real. The only thing she CAN feel. Is hurt. And pain. And fear. And so that’s what she swears to become. That’s what she swears to do. Be mean and cruel and heartless so she never has to feel all this pain ever again. So her eventual DAUGHTER never has to feel this again. It’s better to be alone and feared. Then alone and broken.

Ella probably realized the error of her ways the next day. But as she said. It was too late. Bridget was never the same.

This Explains why they had so many odd interactions. The raw feral burning chemistry between them. All the odd phrase. Why The Red Queen would be okay sending her BEST FRIEND to death. Why she would be okay killing her. And taking over auradon. To Her? Cinderella is the one who made her this way.

but also part of her still remembers. Still cares. It’s why she gave her once chance to kneel to her. (And as we’ve noted in the books and movies. She doesn’t give ANYONE else a second chance. She punishes I’m immediately and harshly)

And so! With all of this happening. Theirs gonna be some catylist in recent times. The Red Queen might be nice now. But something will have changed. Ella never went to the dance. (She clearly fell in love with charming somewhere else cause otherwise Chloe would have disappeared) but something happened when she wasn’t at the dance. Something that caused another problem. And THATS gonna be the sequel to this movie. Descendants : Rise of Red part two.

(as we’ve seen the official script for the movie is literally called Descendants : Rise of Red part one. MEANING they wrote it with the purpose of being part one to either a sequel or a threequal)

And THAT! Ladies and Gentleman, is what I think the REAL plot behind Descendants : Rise of Red is! A movie that is not idiotically not thought out at all, but really something so secretly genuis is blows your mind!

Hope you enjoyed!

[rewiredmind]

they're crittering again❗️❗️

I love the D1 Core 4 when they're fresh into Auradon so I went with those outfits🔥 (or at least I think that's Jay's? I can't remember. I'm sure it is. It's fine, he's still Jay)

[bananaactivity]

I have him… Chad Charming.

Some new things… his scars and chipped tooth…

Those are injuries from advanced sword training. He had a bad teacher who pushed him way too hard. He came back really banged up so his parents fired that lady.

The gold embellishment on his chest is his name CAC. “Chadsworth Ameal Charming”

If you’ll notice his rats there names are Patch and Rajah, looking at the fur patterns and the names I think you get the references.

Like I said before he’s roommates with Carlos in an annoying brother way. He’s really sweet in my version and don’t ask about Chloe… they are good siblings ofc.

I kinda don’t like blue hair Chad or hair dye Auradonians so non of them have that. He’s a himbo blond and Carlos is his genius dorm mate.

I’m gonna get some duo pics of him and Carlos done too 😁

Ella having butterly imagery and Bridget having flowers on her sleeves oh rise of red is so for the gays

[caswensworld]

They both look so absolutely beautiful! Didn’t expect Chloe to have full blue hair but she still looks so good!

You know the picture it’s giving?

[kanzakurawrites]

I read the first Hunger Games book for the first time (yeah, I know I know) and now all I can imagine is a Descendants Au of it.

Like, the villains keep having children, and the children are having children. The isle of so overpopulated, very quickly, and the only solution that the villains think of is making a group of children fight to death each year. This is eight years into the Isle. The goblins row the kids out to the Isle of Doom, and go back at the end of each week. Some are done in that first week, the longest went two months.

The first few times the kids tried not to, they are kids, but then the adults just killed them all.

Unlike the Hunger Games, they allow one male and one female to come out alive (this proves their worth, and their children could be "strong". Remember, these are villains trying to get off the Isle)

Jay ends up in three times, he comes out each of them just a little more haunted.

Mal goes in at ten, she comes out without her wings and half dead. Gil was in that year, and he saved her life. (He found out about her dad, because Mal's flames showed themselves and she survived too many attempts on her life. He becomes a shadow to her, and not even Uma's wrath will make him stop)

Evie ends up in there at 15, going in Dizzy's place. It was the quickest game the Isle ever had. She poisoned the remaining food and water, and thanks to her mother, she was able to go without it while waiting.

Uma and Harry were in together. Uma was 11, and Harry was 12. Ever since they've been inseparable, but they don't talk about what happened in there.

Carlos is a lucky one. His cousin Ivy took his place, and she burned the Isle of Doom to the ground. She's one of the few never allowed back there, as the next year's games weren't as entertaining for the oldest villains. (But that's the year they found out there's just a smidge of magic on the isle, because the few trees that were there grew back)

Many VK's try to disappear to avoid the games. Some live under the Isle in the tunnels, which has driven a couple mad.

And yet Auradon doesn't realize what is happening - or they just don't care.

CARRIE COON as BERTHA RUSSELL ↳ The Gilded Age (2022- ) 1x01 - Never The New

[hannahmcne]

What's a Coup - A short Descendants Fic

“The Queen of Hearts has declared a coup at Auradon Prep.”

The news made the room pause. Everyone turned and looked up at the attendant, holding a tablet with the information that had just come in. Then, slowly, everyone turned their attention to the man in the blue suit in the center of the room, who was currently invested in a card game spread in between all the inhabitants.

King Ben slipped the final UNO card of his hand into his suit pocket. “A coup?” he repeated.

“Yes, your majesty.”

Ben thought about that for a moment, then said. “Huh. She’s not doing very well.”

“Emotionally, or at the coup?” Evie asked.

“Both?” Jay asked.

“Obviously both,” Ben said. “But what I meant was-“ He stood, then began to pat himself down. Pocket one, pocket two, inside his jacket, up his arms. “Yes, sorry, just checking. I’m still here. Many miles away. So if she’s organizing a coup… she’s doing very badly.”

He sat back down. Evie, Mal, and Jay were chuckling, though Belle and Adam didn’t seem too reassured.

“She’s taken over Auradon Prep,” the attendant said. “About sixty people are barricaded in the courtyard. King Charming managed to break in, but is now trapped in there. Rumors have it that the Queen of Hearts is planning on executing Queen Ella.”

“Sixty people?” Evie asked.

Ben put his fingertips together. “So, we have a hostage situation. Not a coup.”

“She’s calling it a coup.”

“Then she’s an idiot. A coup is when you overthrow the government. She’s got one school. That’s like going to your local grocery store, barricading the doors, and declaring yourself the mayor.” Ben paused a moment to remove his final card from his jacket. “By the way, I was just about to win. Since I have to bow out-“ He threw down a wild card on top of a red seven. “I’m claiming victory now.”

“That’s not how it works!” Mal said from his left side. “I was next.”

“And what could you have played that would have stopped me?” Ben asked. “You don’t have any +2 cards.”

Mal grumbled in aquisence, and threw her last three cards down. Everyone else dropped their hands too. Jay, who had been placed in the unfortunate position of being after Ben in the lineup, looked particularly excited to drop the twenty-seven cards he’d been gifted.

“Has she got any military besides her cards?” Ben asked, taking the tablet from the attendant.

“Well, the cards can summon military personnel-“

“Yes, I’m aware of her abilities with cards. That’s why I asked if she had them.” Ben paused in flipping through the tablet to point at Mal across the room. The expression on his face was almost suspicious. The attendant followed Ben’s gaze only to see Mal mimic the expression and action, so the two were pointing at each other as if stuck in the spiderman meme. Ben’s fake suspicion cracked after a few seconds, and then he turned his point to the ground in a silent “Get over here.”

“I’m not following why you aren’t alarmed by this,” Adam said. “Why is this not a coup?”

“I am alarmed by it,” Ben said, though his tone was more nonchalant than one would expect. “Sixty people are being held hostage. But I’m putting the issue in perspective. Sixty people, out of a country of 300,000, and all contained in one tiny courtyard by a woman whose home is now undefended.”

“That doesn’t look like sixty,” Mal said, peering over his shoulder. “Maybe… forty?”

“Of course, we need to act quickly to return them to their homes and families-“

“And make sure Cinderella doesn’t die.”

“Exactly. But like I said before, a coup is when the government is taken over. And the government-“ Ben spread his arm at an angle, mockingly presenting himself and Mal to the room. “-is right here, and we are fine. So she is not doing very well at executing her coup.” He examined the tablet further. “She could have at least attempted to lay siege to my castle.”

“The castle isn’t the government either.”

“Yes, but it’s better than our high school.”

“Why not send part of the army to occupy Wonderland? Show her what a proper coup is?”

“Well, two wrongs don’t make a right, but it could be better in the long run. I have a feeling that Wonderland citizens will welcome our troops.” Ben switched off the livestream. “Let’s do that. Have Lonnie take command and lead soldiers in. Once that’s done, we’ll see if the Queen of Hearts will be willing to barter for her home territory. And while that’s going on, put some soldiers around Auradon Prep and arm them with ranged weapons. A sniper team in case any of them try to leave Auradon Prep. I want them contained there. The Queen of Hearts uses her cards to attack, but she’s only got fifty-two and has to take the time to throw them. Not to say she’s not fast. Warn the army to not make the same mistake Fairy Godmother did in waiting to use the full phrase.”

“And Cinderella?”

“Where are the rest of Uma’s pirates?” Ben asked. “Send in the VK’s.” He handed her the tablet. “Former villains fight against villains best. And they listen to you more, so-“

“Harry Hook likes you more than me.”

“An exception to the general rule. Can I leave this in your hands?”

Mal laughed in response and nodded. Ben pulled his phone out to contact Lonnie, when a thought struck him. He turned to the attendant. “One more thing,” he said.

“Yes, your majesty?”

Ben walked over to where his parents sat and put his hands over Belle’s ears. “If she does decide to siege my castle, tell her to aim for those awful statues on the roof.”

Belle swatted his arm, but the tension was broken. Ben left laughing to phone Lonnie.

Beast Ben

My redesign for Ben’s beast form because reality was very disappointed opposed to the possibilities…

Pro tip for fuzzy creatures adding cool ( but still replicable) fur patterns is a goated choice. He’s basically a werewolf with horns but who gives a fuck. That counts as a beast doesn’t it

Beast Ben is verrrry big like look at him compared to regular Ben …

Jay agrees. I’ve changed it so that Ben actually does have the capacity to change to this form for his whole life.

This happens when he’s having extreme emotions that cause damage. It doesn’t often happen while he’s sad but extreme rage and excitement is when it happens a lot. He’s scared to hurt anyone because of this. Just look at him he could crush Jays skull between his fingers.

He has a pink nose instead of a black one because I love giving my werewolves pink noses cause it’s SO cute. He does have a suit that fits his beast form but the above is ripped up to show off his arms. ( imagine this version in the third movie that be horrific to see chasing you) He can’t talk normally in this form either since when people have extreme emotions we make noises over articulated words. He has some animalistic tendencies when he’s just Reg Ben but he’s a proper boy still.

Honestly I love my Ben designs, he looks so sweet.

Another little incorrect quotes from Glassheart/CharmingHeart

Chloe: Wanna get out of here and grab a bite to eat.

Red: I don’t usually eat with losers.

Chloe: Neither do I but I asked you, didn’t I?

(Chloe with her comebacks ✨🫡 That's so canon it literally happened)

Red: I’ve only ever said ‘I love you’ to two people in my entire life: Chloe and a girl in a dark club who I mistook for Chloe.

Red: Look, I’m glad we're on the same page.

Red: But it’s the last page in a book titled “we’re going to die”.

Chloe: That’s not even clever.

(love their banter UvU)

a little surprise

Evie: If I fall…

Mal: I’ll be there to catch you.

Chloe: *looks at Red* What if I fall?

Red: Then I’ll fall with you, never leaving your side.

Audrey: *watches these two interactions*

Audrey, to Uma: And if I fall?

Uma: I’ll be the one who pushed you.

(I used to ship Uma and Audrey for some reason lol (still do a little bit). I can see the top four fitting any option for the first two)

(also look at them Blues with their Girlfriends)

Evie: What's worse than a heartbreak?

Chloe: Waking up in the morning and your phone wasn't charging.

Red : Waking up in the morning.

Mal: Waking up.

Uma: Waking up in the morning...

Uma: And seeing Audrey.

Audrey: Hey! Rude!!

(love it lol)

*In response to receiving a gift*

Mal: Wow! That’s awesome! I’ll pay you back!

Evie : You didn’t have to get this for me…

Chloe: S-stupid! Now I HAVE to get you something!

Red: Th-thanks, but why?

Audrey: Oh my! I can’t accept a gift like this!

Uma: Did you keep the receipt?

(i feel like Red is the most accurate. Also they are reacting to their partners gift)
