Mal's real lucky that Ben found the whole "giving me a cookie you spiked with a love potion" thing, cute.

Because otherwise this would've been a very different movie.

Apple of My Eye Prologue

Eventual! Harry Hook x Child of Snow White! Reader

Prologue: Once Upon a Time

Summary: Ben tells (Y/N) about his plans for the Isle, and they're eager to help.

Mouse Note: Welcome to Apple of My Eye! This is going to be a single book, updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays (subject to change if needed), and it's a Harry Hook x NB Reader (though they do go between wearing skirts and wearing pants. I write my own experience with fashion, but it's not often mentioned). It's going to be a slow burn, so although we see the MC through the first movie, no Harry until the second! :(. But I can promise lots of fun and even original content of my own at the end since I had my own ideas for what should happen in the Descendants series. Above everything else, though, I hope you guys enjoy! I loved writing this, and please comment your thoughts! (I need the motivation to keep writing). Without further ado, welcome to Apple of My Eye 

            Once upon a time, Snow White had an Evil Queen for a Stepmother. Once upon a time, she was cursed three times—comb, ribbon, and apple. Once upon a time, Prince Florian found his princess again. Once upon a time, True Love’s Kiss saved the day.

            Once upon a time, Prince Florian and Snow White had a child.

Five years old…

            “Florian, is (Y/N) ready for bed?” said Snow, humming to herself.

            “I just finished their bedtime story,” said Florian, smiling as his wife walked into the room.

            “Mommy, apples are scary,” said (Y/N), tears in their eyes.

            “Florian,” scolded Snow. “Did you tell them our story?”

            “I thought it would be a sweet love story,” said Florian. “They loved the story of Belle and Adam.”

            “Mommy, please don’t eat apples,” said (Y/N), reaching out for Snow.

            “Don’t worry, sweetheart,” said Snow, picking up (Y/N). “It’s alright. I’m fine. I’m here.”

            “But there’s bad people,” sniffled (Y/N).

            “Yes, but there are good people,” said Snow. “You just need to be a good person. Then there’s one less bad.”

            “How do I tell bad from good?” asked (Y/N).

            “You trust your heart,” said Florian. He smiled. “You got a good one from your mom.”

            “And from your dad,” said Snow. She kissed (Y/N)’s forehead. “And don’t worry, sweetheart. One day, you’re going to find your True Love, just like we did. And then you don’t have to be scared of any curses or apples.”

            “But until then, you’ll have us and good friends to face the bad with,” said Florian.

            “Now, rest,” said Snow. “We love you, sweetheart.”

            “I love you,” said (Y/N) as they were laid back in their bed.

l

Twelve years old…

            (Y/N) frowned at themself in the mirror. Puberty had come, and with that, acne. Their friend Ben still had a few years, and Audrey was already on preventative creams for acne, so they felt a bit weird being the only one so far with acne.

            “What’s the matter?” said Snow. She had seen their child acting a bit strangely the past few days.

            “Audrey said I looked gross,” admitted (Y/N). “Do I?”

            “No,” said Snow, smiling. “You’re beautiful, (Y/N).”

            “I’m not the fairest,” they said.

            “You don’t need to be,” said Snow. She sat down with (Y/N) and looked into the mirror. “Remember what I taught you?”

            “Beauty isn’t a competition,” said (Y/N).

            When they were young, the story of their parents—the Evil Queen pursuing Snow White, the poisoned comb, ribbon, and apple, and True Love’s Kiss—was just a tale of love and the triumph of good. When they got older, Snow explained everything that led to the tale people knew—that insecurity of aging grew too strong, beauty became a competition, and it led to consequences. Snow White and Florian never wanted (Y/N) to grow so self-deprecating that they took it out on others. They wanted them to see their own inward and outward beauty, to grow confident and free from a competition of looks that shouldn’t exist.

            It wasn’t the only story they’d learned lessons from—people don’t belong to others so don’t be jealous if feelings aren’t returned (Gaston), being royal doesn’t make you better than another (King Adam—the Beast), don’t punish someone for their friend or relations sins (Maleficent hurting Aurora), don’t sign contracts without reading fine print (Ariel), etcetera—but it was the important one at the moment.

            “Exactly,” said Snow. She smiled.

            (Y/N) smiled back. “…Can you teach me some skincare, though? That’s not bad.”

            “No. Taking care of yourself isn’t bad. It’s fun,” said Snow. “And being kind to yourself is even better. Appearances aren’t what matters. People’s hearts do.”

            (Y/N) nodded. “Hearts matter.”

l

Seventeen years old…

            “So, Bennyboo, what’s your first act going to be when you become king?” said Audrey, smiling at her boyfriend(?).

(Just how they got into a relationship or their real status confused (Y/N), but they just went with it since it wasn’t their place to intervene).

            “I hope it’s a party,” said Audrey. She grinned. “I mean, of course it will be, every king has a coronation, and there will be an afterparty, but there should be something more.” She looked at the clock and gasped. “Speaking of which, I have a fitting to get to.” She patted Ben’s cheek. “Keep me up to date with our plans.” She left the room.

            Ben let out a breath, and (Y/N) grinned at him.

            “ ‘Our plans,’ ” they repeated.

            Ben held up his hands. “It’s easier to just go with her.”

            “She’s got a one-track mind,” said (Y/N). “It’s impressive. And scary at times.” They looked at Ben. “But she has a point. What are you thinking of doing?”

            Ben shifted.

            “You look nervous. Is it something big?” (Y/N) leaned forward.

            “I haven’t told my parents yet, but…yeah,” said Ben, looking like a cross between anxious and excited.

            “What is it?” asked (Y/N).

            “I want to bring over some of the kids from the Isle,” said Ben. He hurried onward, nervous about the first person he told’s reaction. “Just a few to begin with, to see how it goes, but I think they deserve a chance, don’t you?” He paused and looked at (Y/N). “What do you think?”

            (Y/N) smiled. “I think it’s a great idea, Ben.”

            Ben let out a relieved breath. “I’m so scared about telling my parents.”

            “Listen, they of all people should know to look beyond first impressions,” said (Y/N) encouragingly. They smiled widely. “And if you need help with anything, I’m here.”

            “Really?” said Ben.

            “Yeah. The children of the people locked on the Isle didn’t do anything wrong. They were just born there,” said (Y/N). “We don’t know their hearts. And that’s what counts.”

MAL AS A HALF DEMIGOD OF HADES AND HALF DARK FAE

[elytra404]

i love ever after high and decedants. for very different reasons but yk. however!!!!!

i think most people will agree with me but either way i can and will ramble. Raven Queen is a better character than Mal (mal doesn't have a last name btw? why??)

Mal turns her mum into a lizard, uses a love potion to get with her future husband, and her last movie she completely turns against her home? That is an over simplification yes, but like? honestly theres not much else?? i rewatched the first 3 recently and theres just not much else? she just keeps repeatedly going back to her old ways, then learning the flaws in that. and i understand getting better isn't linear? but repeatedly going back to your old ways then just????? whatever the fuck the 3rd movies arc was? just? no.

raven actually has a complex relationship with her mum, she has some little romance but its not a large part of her, and one of her most interesting arcs is in wonderland when she has to accept both sides of her! she struggles with her destiny, and actually addresses it!!!!!!!!!! she has actual depth as a character, i could actually talk about her for ages! shes s o fascinating, and i love her so much.

i don't know if ill watch decendants 4. im torn on that. but if they want to make the characters a ton better, learn from eah. its so much better

i drew these sometime in October last year but never posted bc I planned to draw the boys as well but never got around to finishing them OOPS. Maybe in October I’ll try my hand at jay n carlos see how much better i can do and cry if I’m worse. I had a big fat descendants phase sorry <3 these guyz

[booksandmemes]

IT'S GOING DOWN BE LIKE:

[starlightshadowsworld]

Descendants except Ben is actually very not cool with the love potion cookies.

But he doesn't release the news. Because he knows how badly it will reflect on the VK's as a whole. He knows they'll all be punished and lose even the fragile hope of ever escaping the island.

Ben won't do that to them. He was always too selfless for his own good. But he's also hurt and afraid for the first time he's been with Mal.

She looks confused and he almost laughs.

"What? Did you think I'd be okay with this? I humiliated myself infront of everyone, I've lost my girlfriend and the trust of my friends because of you."

Ben shakes his head so this was karma.

"You played with me. Just like everyone said you would. I didn't believe them because I wanted to give you a chance."

Lot of good that did him.

"I won't tell."

That suprised her and he smiled. All polite and professional and she flinched at the sight of it. They'd all grown accustomed to Ben's real smile.

"I'd be sentencing every VK to ever exist. No one else would get the chance if this got out. So no need to curse me, or whatever it is you want to do."

"I wouldn't curse you" said Mal and it hurt more than it should that he didn't believe her.

But why would he? He had no reason too. Ben simply smiled again and left. He told Audrey a lie, grovelled and apologised, a prank gone wrong and he was so sorry.

He was even if it wasn't his fault.

Ben moved out the way when Jay tried to put an arm around him. He focused on Doug whenever Carlos tried to speak to him. Made an excuse when Evie made herself known.

And steered clear of Mal at every turn. Eventually Mal told them all what transpired and to their suprise they shared her feeling of guilt.

They'd never cared how their actions would affect others. Maybe it was because Ben had been the first person to truly see them. To see not children of villian's but children.

The mission didn't feel as important now. Disappointing their parents didn't seem nearly as bad as knowing Ben may have just given up on them completly.

He had treated them as he treated everyone else. He was a safety net in an unfamiliar world, warmth when they'd only known cold.

That net was gone and they had no one to blame but themselves.

And Ben was still protecting them by hiding the truth. He could've had them hunted down and imprisoned but he chose to leave them free.

Oh sure he kept an eye on them, but it was to ensure they wouldn't hurt anyone else. Ben didn't care they'd hurt him, like the true hero that he was.

... Maybe it was time they returned the favour and protected him too.

Watching Descendants as an adult hits different... The villain kids are all in tattered clothes that don't fit right. At first(as a kid) you think it's a style choice, a grungy "bad kid" aesthetic. But then rewatching it, these were kids living in poverty with parents who are RENOWNED for being terrible people. It is a very sad realization

PRINCE BEN WITH A LITTLE MORE BEAST

[kekeartzworld]

Something I’ve Noticed

So, my boyfriend had gotten me back into Descendants and this is a movie franchise from my childhood

I was just going through some pictures of Mal and I really couldn’t help but piece together from a combination of her appearance as well as well what I remember of her personality from the films and after connecting a few dots I came to a very random realization

Mal is essentially human Uzi before Uzi even was a thing

Adding on to this, I can also see Ben as a human equivalent of N
