The ROs + Abel and Florentin's opinion on School, Vegetables and Drugs?

School

Crux: The type of guy that was always "too smart" for school and suffered for it. Did exams in Elementary and High School just enough to pass, then had a mental breakdown in college and dropped out. He loves learning but hates the concept of school.

Black: Did well enough that he got into a decent college. His mom pressured him to be a doctor for money, but he hated Pre-med so much he dropped out in his second year and ghosted.

Vincenzo: I think if Vincenzo went to a normal school, he would have liked it. But his old school just left a sour taste in his mouth.

Abel: Overachiever and teacher's pet, kisses everyone in the faculty's ass, deeply unpopular with classmates for being a nerd and a snitch.

Florentin: Absolutely perfect in school and effortless. A highly regarded medical genius.

Vegetables

Crux: He hates eating and hates eating for health reasons even more!!!

Black: He was fine with it when he was alive, but he was more liable to eat disgusting processed stuff like cereals and grains.

Vincenzo, Abel and Florentin are all fine with it.

Abel's liable to mock you for being a fussy little baby for refusing to eat vegetables.

Drugs

Crux: He takes that shit like it's candy, it's very concerning. Very addictive and thrill-seeking personality.

Black: He did a lot of drugs when he was alive, like ecstasy and cocaine. He's never happy so he has to rely on substances to simulate it.

Vincenzo: None, absolutely none. The closest thing is sugar, and he can skip the sweet stuff. It's why he's so fucking crazy.

Abel: Abel's ideal is to be a perfectly well-oiled machine, and he will use any substance to make it happen, stimulants to keep working then weed to calm down etc. He picked up cigarettes to fit in with the other suits during lunch hour. But I actually think he would not be taking them if he had a choice. Abel's more liable to get addicted to sex esp if it's with someone he really likes?

Florentin: With his precarious health condition, he's not going to risk substances that could exacerbate it. He does drink a few cups of coffee everyday so he can keep studying.

Important Auradon Prep dining hall facts from the Villain Kid’s book for new VKs 

The school has an ice cream sundae bar the last Friday of every month.  

Mal is a mint chip ice cream lover (this is very important to me personally, mint chip ice cream is delicious and doesn’t deserve any of the hate it gets, much like Mal herself…)

The school does Sunday brunch. As someone who went to a relatively fancy college that also did weekend brunch meals, this is somewhat confusing and distressing the first weekend when you go down at your expected breakfast hour and find NO food out yet. 

Bunch doesn’t start until noon….the VKs definitely learned this the hard way. 

Evie likes eggs Florentine- as well as everything else on the brunch list, which is delicious carbs. #leteviehavebread2k23 

Auradon Prep has pasta mondays…..every week? Once a month? No clear timeline on this one, but after working in a bunch of  different real-life dining hall kitchens, I know that it’s nice to have a set meal rotation, so pasta every Monday probably makes sense for a high school. 

Another important note here is that pasta night is ~fancy~ and they put out white tablecloths and dim the lights. Weird choice for a high school dining hall, but I guess when your student body is unimaginably rich and also likely confined to campus during the school term, you’ve got to make your own date opportunities. 

Side note: is there an Auradon Prep hierarchy of “good” date nights? Is being asked out to Monday pasta night like a basic, everyday-tier date? The enchanted lake is clearly where students go to have a romantic picnic and then hook up, but what other common school dates are there? Is brunch appropriately romantic? Does the dining hall let anyone request a picnic, or is that reserved for actual royalty? Many questions here. 

The funniest thing so far in the dining hall section of this book is the sample menu they have- WHO is feeding high school students escargot? Mussels? I guess they’re coastal enough to have fresh mussels on a somewhat regular basis because we do see them on a boat in D2…and like, they’re in relatively close proximity to the isle, which is In The Ocean, so I guess that part makes sense. But printed menus every night?? 

In my heart the printed menus are a sort of once-a-week special occasion thing. Maybe once a week they have fancy dinners where they’re all expected to eat nicely with the teachers, or with whatever visiting royal family is there to see their kids, or just to practice proper formal dinner etiquette. 

The Auradon Prep dining hall serves grill cheese with tomato slices in the middle. Jay is apparently a big fan of this. I’m only sad about this one because I have a scene 90% written where the dining hall is serving grilled cheese and tomato soup, and now for ~canon accuracy~ I’m going to have to edit that.

ok this is so self-indulgent that yall are gonna run me off my blog but

au where obi-wan hosts fancy wine&dinner parties, as he’s a renowned chef and retired sommelier (wine expert). the theme of this party is for everyone to bring a bottle of wine and a food that they think will pair well with the tasting notes in their chosen wine, and be prepared to explain their choices to the rest of the dinner-goers.

when anakin (invited by padmé, currently in grad school, easily the youngest and dirtiest person to have ever sat on obi-wan’s nice leather settee) shows up with a bottle of wine that still has the price tag on it ($13 for a “maker’s red mix”) and a bag of flaming hot cheetos, obi-wan knows they’re absolutely going to have hate sex about it

then anakin gets up for his turn to explain his choice and he bullshits so fantastically well, using all the words he just heard these upper class bougie snobs say and using them correctly, that obi-wan is genuinely actually impressed.

oh they’re still going to have hate sex, 100%, but now obi-wan respects the man enough to make him breakfast in the morning

(it’s eggs benedict florentine with house-made hollandaise sauce and freshly baked english muffins obi-wan got up early to bake, and halfway through poaching the final egg he looks over and anakin is leaning against his counter, eating granola by the handful out of the bag as he watches)
