Disney Descendants : How did Tiger Lily x Lampwick react to the Coachman being free after the barrier was brought down HC

So, Lampwick was REALLY unhappy and he had way more nightmares. That, of course, made Tiger Lily unhappy.

Lampwick would definitely have yanked the kids out of Auradon Prep if they attended. Thankfully, he thinks they're safe in Neverland.

Just in case, Tiger Lily put out warning signs of the Coachman's scams so all the parents and kids would be aware.

Tiger Lily and Lampwick drilled the kids relentlessly about strangers and avoiding scams like Pleasure Island

Lampwick's not super excited about the idea of trying to rehabilitate the Coachman. He shrugs it off like they're welcome to try but he doesn't believe anything good will happen with it.

Honestly, it almost makes Lampwick miss Adam. He knows how much the king DISDAINED the Coachman and now he wishes the Beast had followed through on his proposed punishment.

Lampwick insisted on walking the kids to school for a while. He doesn't believe the Coachman would show up in Neverland, but you never know.

Tiger Lily was cold to Ben and Mal the next time she saw them.

The kids are really worried about their dad and they talked to Carina, who's been calling every night to check on him.

Lampwick calls Alexander a lot to talk.

Peter has been recruited to keep an eye out and attack the SHIT out of Coachman if he sees him.

They put out an advertising campaign showing off Neverland as the REAL paradise for kids with no rules. Yes, they hate tourists, but if it saves kids from Pleasure Island, it's worth it

Lampwick checks on his kids every night, just to make sure they didn't sneak out.

Ben's tried to be comforting but Lampwick doesn't think it can help. He means well though.

The rest of the band keeps an eye on the tourists for lookalikes

Lampwick's worried about the kids at Auradon Prep and posts warnings online a lot Lampwick sends lots of warnings to parents in his hometown. Coachman scoped out there once, after all.

They're both a little nicer to donkeys they see now.

Fortunately, the Coachman was deemed still dangerous and transferred to a more regular prison for magical criminals.

GIVE ME BACK MY SON

I dislike the Coachman from Pinocchio. Especially since he never gets his comeuppance. Well no more. This time he makes the mistake of kidnapping a Prussian Hussar’s son. The Hussar reacted as any parent would.

I have no interest in seeing Disney's live-action Pinocchio movie, not just because of all the shit I've heard about it, but because they passed up a golden opportunity for Tom Baker as the Coachman

Like. Tell me this guy wouldn't play a spot-on Coachman. Hell, it'd also be in keeping with Disney's habit of casting former Doctor Who stars as baddies (though up till now it's been mostly in the MCU, namely Malekith and Kilgrave), especially if they were to also go with my ideas for Capaldi as a live-action Frollo and Tennant as a live-action Hades.

[punster-2319]

The Coachman was already creepy in the final film, but he’s definitely creepier in these storyboards:

[violetlunette]

Well, the playland event is over and I am both happy and sad that we didn't get to see a TWST version of the Coachman. On one hand, I wanted to see him sexy-fied. On the other hand, I don't think TWST would be able to do his evil justice. (Plus if HE of all characters got away with just a slap on the wrist, I would legit riot.)

I drew him in a fairly simple outfit as I imagine he tries to disguise himself as the every man. He's the guy that's everyone's friend, the average joe everyone knows and can trust--until he reveals his true nature which is basically the devil.

"They never come back... as BOYS!!!!"

-The Coachman (Pinocchio 1940)

[pika-ace]

I honestly thought that Disney Knowledge Yuu would be “okay, it’s just a tale here, a very REAL one but, it can’t be that bad. Leona is here, Trey too and even Vil! They are really responsible and will make us go back at a reasonable time! Plus, they are really powerful! There is nothing to worry about!”

*Sees the sea-donkeys*

“Nevermind, I want OFF. WHERE IS THE EXIT?!”

Also, do you think there is a figure like the coachman? The guy that employed Guidel and John to lure children into pleasure island? Maybe he’s the guy that transforms the people into donkeys

Yep, that's about right XD

And while that would be cool, I doubt we're getting anyone else new, since the tradition has always been one new guest per event, with Fellow and Giddel slightly breaking it by being considered a unit.

Fun fact though, I actually made my OWN TWST Coachman OC a while back for a roleplaying server :3

His name is Carlo Omino (a combination of the author of Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi, and the Coachman's original Italian name, Omino di Burro). He runs a similar trafficking ring, except it hides in plain sight in a regular theme park in Port O'Bliss, and it involves animal transformation (any kind of animal, not just donkey) AND the capturing and selling of rare magical creatures and species. The animal transformations are mostly via potion created by sisters TWST Yzma and Kronk (named Eartha (after her VA) and Risu (Japanese for squirrel))

Carlo's also Rollo's abusive father in this universe but that's not important-

Fandorm Showcase #16 - Pinocchio

Again, this is another one of those moments when it's pure coincidence. This dorm was made before Playful Land is announced, as so is the Honest John and Gideon character (well the difference is I made it in a different way.)

Anyways, introducing the fantastic and mysterious dorm inspired by Pinocchio, we have...

Fantoccere!

Very straight-forward, Fantoccere is italian for Puppet. [No joke, I simply just put one word here as the dorm name.]

This dorm focuses on whimsy and talent, everyone showing off their best skill for the audience to spectate. The housewarden of Fantoccere runs a side business of an entertainment troupe, similar to a circus, but instead, they're people with talents that are 100% safe. But this dorm mostly consists of talented puppeteers who can control their puppets like living beings. Or was it?

"A dorm founded on the Marvelous Showman's spirit of proficiency. Students in this dorm have unique talents that can contribute to the entertainment industry."

Now, this dorm's plotline has a similar feel to Playful Land but more tame than you think. But it stills carries a somewhat dark tone-

Requirements and Traits:

Have a unique talent that is safe and entertaining to watch

Have personal flair and pizazz when performing

Resourceful and opportunistic

Be a puppet for the Puppeteer

And onto our dorm uniform design:

Initially, I wanted to take inspiration from the Playful Land outfits for this one, but since it's based on a different villain, I went for more simple looks as well as some stitches to fit the whole puppet theme. Now, for the magic item, it isn't something that can be wielded like a weapon, but more so a source for the magic to be filtered through. In this instance, the magic from the magestone is channeled into the clawed fingers that emits puppet strings out of the magic energy. As for the reason why it's only half the magestone, you'll have to wait and see.

Now comes the character roster:

Everyone say welcome to the extravagant and charismatic housewarden of Fantoccere...

Sergius Modesto! (Twisted Off Stromboli)

Sergius is an eccentric and charismatic housewarden of his dorm and leader of his entertainment troupe (called Modesto's Emporium of Whimsy), where a group of entertainers travel around cities and towns and set up stage shows for everyone, AND no charge for admission to boot. He would do anything in his capability to make sure everyone is enjoying his shows and carry a smile on their faces. But something about Sergius seems...off, like he isn't really what he seems to be.

[SPOILERS AHEAD, TW: BODY HORROR, DEATH; ALSO TIES WITH PLAYFUL LAND LORE]

Sergius used to be a living and actual person, and he has a little brother with him. They were happy living with their father who is a simple clockmaker, making whacky and silly clocks out of wood. Their father would sometimes make them little wooden toys to play with, despite being poor, he only wanted his two sons to be happy. One day, Sergius and his little brother were just walking through town, on their way to the local school, when a certain fox beastman and his mute cat sidekick ran into them, asking them if they want to have some fun at an amusement park where they can do anything they want free of charge. The boys were a bit reluctant to trust this stranger, but after some convincing, they eventually followed them to this park. They had a full day of fun in the amusement park, until it was already late, and they both need to head back before their father worries for them. The fox beastman tries to ask them to stay a little longer, but the two wanted to be good boys, not until the stranger pulled a move that would change their lives forever...ripping the ticket Sergius is holding, making a branch-like mask appear on the right side of his face and his whole body suddenly failed and dropped to the ground, unable to move. The little brother, who saw this happen, made a run for it but was stopped by the two shady individuals...yet they didn't rip his ticket up yet. In fact, they're offering the little brother a chance to repay for everything they did in the park...and for disobeying their own father's words...

But it seems like the months of effort isn't enough as Sergius fully succumbed to the park's magic, nothing but a lifeless wooden puppet, devoid of any sign of life, everything flesh and bone is now replaced with wooden joints and hardened insides. The little brother is devastated, if they had listened to father, they wouldn't end up in this mess. Still having to pay back the park for the splurge, the little brother came up with an idea to win some guests over...and it involves "his brother", as well as a long-term contract with the park managers.

Introducing the "puppet master" behind Sergius Modesto...

Otello Modesto (Twisted Off The Coachman)

Otello is Sergius's little brother, who is mourning for the loss of his older brother, all because of the fatal mistake of not listening to their father's words and spending the whole day fooling around at the infamous amusement park. Having to forever try to pay the park back for all the playing and messing around, Otello came up with the idea of using his brother puppet to start up his own entertainment troupe sponsored by said park, with magic puppet strings he mastered at a young age. However, this would come at a cost for Otello's well-being, the constant use of magic energy threads caused his entire body to lose function in movement, specifically his legs, resulting in having to be confined to a wheelchair (which has puppet arms to help him move the wheels and control the direction) in order to move about. As to how he managed to get into Night Raven College despite being only 13, it's all because of "Sergius"...Having to guise himself behind this puppet that was his brother in order to fulfill the contract, but also Sergius isn't the only one Otello is controlling...thus having one half of the magestone on himself and the other on Sergius, he is actually sharing his unique magic to his "brother". (I'll let you all figure it out.)

Alternate Roster with Otello:

Notable Members:

Fiorella Balleto (Freshman) - A ballerina puppet who dances gracefully like a swan on a lake despite having a broken crippled leg. (Twisted of Fabiana and Sabina)

Carmelina Viola (Sophomore) - A showgirl puppet with a cockney accent and tends to spurt out mean things due to frustrations. (Twisted off Stromboli's puppets)

Jolanda Vixx (Junior) - A mysteriou gal with a fox mask who goes around spreading deceitful words to lure in people for self beneficial reasons. (Twisted off Honest John)

Gioffre Somali (Freshman) - A somali cat plush doll brought to life by Jolanda and became her trusted sidekick, it doesn't talk itself, so it uses the hand puppets to express its emotions. (Twisted off Gideon)

Synopsis:

Modesto's Emporium of Whimsy is showing at the campus grounds of NRC, everyone is curious about this show as flyers are put up around the school as advertisement. What's more interesting is that they are looking for a new star by holding a talent audition for anyone who's interested, free of charge of course.

But there is more secrets hidden behind this dorm than meets the eye...

This one is my most complicated idea yet, because with how bad Playful Land's plotline was, I figured I would make use of the concept to fit with the narrative here, straight-up pulling the Shroud brothers lore on this but in reverse and involves puppeteering.

What are the Coachman’s minions and why does he spend most of his time disguised as a human?

Just lesser demons/imps. And its easier to tempt away kids to your demon island of gluttony when you look like a jolly old man

"Coachman?" "Yes, my sweet?" "If we are betrayed, if Bernard attempts to notify anyone of our presence in the city, I will find a way out. I will come for him first. And when I have finished with him, I will find you. There is nowhere in the world you can run. Every day, for the rest of your life, you will have to look over your shoulder. When you least expect it, I will be there. I will stick my drill so far inside you that you will taste it. And then I will turn it on and scramble everything that makes you who you are." "I wouldn't expect anything less," the Coachman said. He pressed his hand against her screen. "If that happens, I will wait for you with open arms." "Seriously," Rambo said. "This is really gross."

Twst spoilers for Stage Playland

I think it’s so funny and a testament to the coachman’s character that more than 75 percent of the fandom is praying he doesn’t show up in twst for the simple fact they’re scared of him. And we’re all 16 and up here. Keep in mind, this guy only has less than ten minutes of scene time in Pinocchio and hardly ever shows up outside of the film. Even those who never saw the guy fear him by reputation or are like, “I don’t wanna meet him.” Hell, the moment it was mentioned the next TWST event everyone was “Yay!” And “Oh no!” I swear, if a TWST version of the coachman actually shows up, more than half the fanbase is going to go into cardiac arrest. (Okay, a bit dramatic, but still.) Again, I think it’s funny how we’re all so traumatized by a villain from the 1940s that the mere thought he may show up has us all going, “Oh fuck.”
