Don't know if it's because of the new movie release but I've been seeing a lot more of descendants the og movies resurfacing on different social medias and the Audrey comments have started back up again. One in particular that I've never liked

"Why is she doing all of that over a high school break up?"

For starters Descendants was about teenagers, all of their relationships were high school relationships. The "true love" couple had their true love's kiss while they were both still in high school. So to refer to Audrey and Ben as a "high school" relationship that's purposely downplaying her feelings and their relationship. I get being confused because Descendants goes back and forth with the canon. At the end of D1 she was fine and in Wicked World her life didn't drastically change because of their breakup. But in D3 that is what happened, her life drastically changed and she was treated like shit.

She lost all of her friends "There's nothing to lose when you're lonely and friendless" & "Why is she here." There was no reason why that had to have happen, Audrey was never shown to be so terrible to the point where if she wasn't dating Ben that everyone had to abandon her. Especially in D1 her actions were no worse than Jane's and Jane still kept her friends and were friends with the VKs. Jane in my personal opinion was worse than Audrey, at least to the Vks in D1. Her worst crime was laughing at Jane's hair and I'm not understanding why that's unforgivable in comparison to Mal trying to manipulate her with said hair. Chad was even more social in Auradon but Audrey is completely shunned and for what? Because she's not dating Ben? People were straight up ignoring her when she spoke and in canon Audrey up until that point hadn't done anything so cruel to where that would make sense. She wasn't any snarkier than Chad or Jane on occasions and definitely not worse than things the Vks did. The only explanation we can come to is that when she wasn't Ben's girlfriend she didn't matter to people anymore.

That's not even addressing her shitty ass family, they treated her like dirt because she wasn't in line for the throne anymore. (those were never Audrey's intentions btw) Her cousin, her mother, her Grandma all acted like she was a failure because she wasn't with Ben and more specifically because she "lost" Ben to their Family's enemy. Like she had any choice in the matter, Ben didn't even have the choice of when and how they broke up. So if she couldn't turn to her friends or her family who did she have?? Nobody she was isolated and alone. Other adults? Look at Belle she talked shit about her too. She had Chad but because Audrey knew she couldn't return his feelings she stopped relying on him after a certain point.

All of this because she and Ben broke up, because she wasn't next in line to become Queen of Auradon. (That's another thing, her acknowledging that if she and Ben stayed together forever would end up with her being Queen isn't her being thirsty for the crown. It's her preparing for her future that, yes she was looking forward to but she wasn't thirsty to marry him because if she was, her family seemed more than open to an arranged marriage. But there was never one, they were simply boyfriend and girlfriend.)

She lost her life long best friend too: Ben. Even if they truly made up post D3 we know their relationship would never be the same.

So trying to act like Audrey had an entire breakdown over the simple fact of their high school relationship ending is false.

"How was she not supposed to tie her self worth in dating Ben when people started treating her like a waste of space when she wasn't with him?"

Ben: *Teaching Y/N to drive* "So, Y/N. You see, Harry in the road. What's the first thing you do?"

Y/N: *Smiles* "Oh, that's easy. I step on the gas and run him over."

Ben: *Sighs* "No. You step on the brakes or swerve out of the way."

Y/N: "Nah. I like my way better."

Can we talk about how much yellow Ben wears in the first movie and how be wears almost NONE in movies following?

In the first movie he almost exclusively wears yellow pants during the casual daytime. If we look at Beauty and the Beast, both OG and Descendants, Belle is almost entirely yellow and Beast is mostly blue with some gold but mostly just blue.

I think this represents Ben’s Belle-like nature. He loves seeing the good in people, but as he grows older and wants to be a good king, he looks to his dad and wears more blue. Even though he will always be more like his mom, he wants to look the part of King, which in his life is Blue.

Yes, I did just make an analysis on Ben’s Yellow Pants, welcome to my tumblr

Heyyy

Love you're descendants ask game, nice to see some people still active around here

If you're still doing itz could I ask 3, 6 and 21?

Hi!! Thank you! I haven't really seen an ask game for Descendants, so I thought I just make one! And yes, I'm still doing it!

3. Least favorite movie?

I am gonna have to go with "Royal Wedding" for this one. I would have said the third one because some details of the plot was a little wonky for me, but I do like that film. "Royal Wedding" though? Even being an animated, twenty-something minute long special, I just don't like it.

6. Favorite dance sequence?

"Chillin' Like a Villain"! It's tied with "What's My Name" for me, but I'm giving it the spotlight here since I feel like the whole sequence isn't talked about enough.

It's just so fun. Like it felt the characters weren't trying too hard. Just felt like they're vibing. And it features my favorites! It was nice seeing Jay and Carlos have more focus on a song, and Evie take the lead. Also Ben was a riot to me!

21. If you could be a Descendant of any of the heroes or villains, who would it be?

I don't even have to think about this one, but Kida and Milo. I know, I know. They're not mentioned in the Descendants universe (someone is gonna mention it, you know there is always someone wanna come and rain on someone else's parade), but if Smee can have kids, Kida and Milo are there.

Their movie is one of my favorite films and they're one of my favorite Disney couples. Also, Kida is my favorite princess and queen.

King Benjamin's Teachings: Understanding Service and Divine Responsibility

King Benjamin's teachings in Mosiah 2:10-26 provide profound insights into the true nature of service and its divine significance.

Jesus Washing the Apostles’ Feet by Del Parson Introduction Super Bowl LVIII featured a clash between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, with the latter emerging victorious. While the game itself was a spectacle, the real buzz surrounded one of the most intriguing and controversial commercials aired during the event. Produced by the group “He Gets Us,” the ad depicted…

The Villain was Mal: The century long Did I mention debate.

To this day Audrey and Ben are being pitted against each other in the Did I mention scene when neither of them were at fault.

Ben was the direct victim, he was unable to control his actions and did something he wouldn't even had done had he not been drugged and NOBODY out of all the people who knew him for years found this out of character or stood up for him. They didn't pull him aside afterwards to ask what the hell he was doing or if he was okay, knowing he was pretty much completely unprotected from magic and the VK girly is walking around with a spell book.

Audrey was the indirect victim, she was publicly humiliated by her boyfriend and watched people she was friends with cheer him on and the girl he's doing this with is the daughter of your family's enemy. You were visibly destressed and the same thing with Ben, nobody cares, nobody asks. So you do the only thing you can do to try and save face and find another date. She's got her heartbroken, she'd probably feel more humiliated even trying to ask Ben about it and it doesn't help all of her friends are cheering them on. She at this point doesn't even know what was really going on.

Ben ends up in this borderline abusive relationship where he's afraid to say no to his girlfriend/fiance and everyone including his parents holds her opinion of more value than his as king. Whenever he's being abused by magic, which happens in all three movies nobody (D1-D2) Sticks up for him they either don't care or blame him for actions he had no control over.

Audrey is shunned from Auardon and is blamed by her family for failing to secure the king as if they didn't have a genuine relationship and she doesn't have feelings. She falls into a depression and has fallen behind in school and questions her self worth because all of the people who were her friends or looked at her in awe were now asking "What is she doing here?" for showing up to a birthday party that in any other circumstances she would've been invited. How was she not supposed to tie her self worth in dating Ben when people started treating her like a waste of space when she wasn't with him?

In conclusion, after years we need to realize that this situation was neither of their faults, they had been used and manipulated in a plan that was barely undone because nothing was every clarified between the two. The ending of their relationship was forced onto them and consequently the destruction of any friendship they could've had. I don't want to be like "blame it all on Mal" but if we're going back and forth between blaming Ben and Audrey, then yes we need to blame Mal. She created the direct situation for it to happen, benefited from it entirely, lied about what actually happened (saying she spelled Ben for love) and she herself never tried to make amends or actually explain the situation. Mal spelled him taking away his right of action and she clearly wasn't sorry about what happened to Audrey because she insults her right after the did I mention scene when at this point she doesn't know anything about her. She further in my opinions shows a lack of actual remorse when she continues to try and spell Ben later on and when she gives up on magic gaslights him into doing what she wants (she doesn't take no for an answer.) (That's a whole different conversation but okay Mal, Audrey is the shallow one and Evie is better even though everybody knew Evie was only interested in Chad because he was a prince.)

WKM: The Last Supper

"I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me."

Comparison/Analysis

- Peter(chef) has a knife in his hand but it's to protect his master, he's not a traitor.

- Judas(Wil) og pic he has a bag includes money earned for betraying jesus, but in this pic Wil's shocked seeing blood in his hand, he's "picked" to be the traitor.

- John(D/A) in og pic he's in shock, but this one the D/A slept through the whole thing, that's why the audience didn't get to see what happened at first.

This one's almost 100% accurate to the og

- Thomas(Abe)need to confirm Jesus’ wounds by touching them with his own hands. Also Thomas(Abe)'s hand gesture's foreshadowing Jesus(actor)'s "resurrection"

- James(Damien)shocked and waiting for an explanation from jesus.

- Philip(Ben) asking, “Lord, is it I?” (it's not, idk why he thought it's him😭)

Jesus in the og pic: “He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me” in his right hand it's the dish him and judas dipped in

- actor handing Wil a gun while his left hand placing a death tarot card on a table. He knows who's the traitor because he picked the traitor himself.
