The moral of The Ultimatum: Queer Love is that lesbians need to break up more often. Ain't no way some of these couples have been dating for 3,4 years WHOLLY INCOMPATIBLE.

So in chapter 8, when MC has their flashback of being held in Valax's dungeon, it's your LI who helps them come back to their senses. And if it's one of the main four, they all say something sweet along the lines of, 'It's alright, I'm here for you.' But if it's Aerin, he says, 'I know what you're feeling.' And I mean, obviously, who else can relate to MC's experience more than the man who spent the year locked up in a dungeon himself, but omg. The writers are so real for adding this detail.

The portraits of younger heroes and villains in totally-not-EAH-and-SFGAE-rip-off Merlin Academy, if anyone's curious. And like, before anyone goes at me for that nickname for Merlin Academy: the villains group portrait literally has 'V.K students' under it, implying they themselves are children of villains, which just opens up the idea that these kids basically became evil like their parents before them and the only ones to not be evil are the prior Descendants main characters, aka, similar to main characters in EAH and SFGAE. At this point, Disney is losing their right to complain if EAH does ever return because the only one copying right now in Disney.

FAVOR TREE - The Tree looms above you, high and mighty. Isabeau said that this was the largest tree in the area, and that people think that means it can grant favors. PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Trivial: Success] - Leaves big and small litter the path to the favor Tree's Trunk.

MEMORY OF MEMORIES [Medium: Success] - You should grab one. You'll need them to make a wish to the Tree, after all.

Look around for a leaf to make a wish with.

Back away and do something else.

YOU - You look around for a leaf you like. Picking the biggest one you can find, you pause for a second and think.

LOGIC - Asking a favor from a higher power, like a tree, is basically like a wish, right?

MAL DU PAYS - A HOLLOW ACHING IN YOUR CHEST. YOU HAVE FELT THIS BEFORE. A FEELING OF FAMILIARITY. A FEELING OF SOMETHING MISSING. SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

MEMORY OF MEMORIES [Impossible: Failure] - But you can't remember what.

EMPATHY - A wish, a wish... The Favor Trees seem popular among the people of Vaugarde. If they've all been making wishes, then surely they must all have wished for their country to be saved.

LOGIC - Right. So adding another wish like that to the pile seems useless. The Trees are probably on it, anyhow.

SAUVEUR DE LA VAUGARDE - But wishing for something big... That would be taking away from their wish, wouldn't it? So something small, then.

LOGIC - Something simple.

EMPATHY - Something nice.

You wish to visit more places with Mirabelle.

You wish to wear clothes Isa has made.

You wish to go with Odile to see her country.

You wish to be there with Bonnie when they reunite with their sister.

YOU - Traveling with your friends, you've talked about a lot of things. Serious things. Not-so-serious things. But through it all, it's been a fun experience. You think you want to stay with them. Yeah, that's a good enough wish.

MEMORY OF MEMORIES [Medium: Success] - Wish in in mind, you breathe it into the leaf, repeat it thrice, and fold it closed, to keep it safe.

YOU - Gently letting the leaf go, you watch as it flutters away into the wind. Wish made, you get up and look back at the town.

SIEVEBRAIN [Trivial: Success] - You have a sleepover to attend today, after all.

one of my faults with the new descendants movie is that significant character development/changing dynamics seemed to ONLY happen during song. like you would start a song with a character having one opinion, and then you would finish the song and you’d have a new one

it almost feels like the movie was originally planned as a tv show but then changed to be a movie, and to save on time they just turned anything taking up too much time in a song. even tho I don’t imagine this was the case at all

the two major offenders being the conflict of red and chloe thinking they were enemies was immediately resolved it in the duration of the song fight of our lives, and in a similar sense, chloe learns about moral ambiguity only during the get your hands dirty song

love ain’t it and perfect revenge and life is sweeter are stronger songs to me because for love ain’t it, it just goes “look, here’s how the queen of hearts feels about love, and here is how red feels about her mother”, and a very brief how red and chloe feel about each other, but doesn’t immediately dive into anything and just sets up room for conflict in the rest of the story

similarly, life is sweeter is like “here are the idealogical differences between bridget and ulyana. But also: this is also here specifically contrast love ain’t it, to illustrate the stakes of red and chloe have in their mission because THIS is what they have to lose”. and then perfect revenge is like “here’s how ulyana feels about bridget: she fucking hates her”. which like. i love bridget but it's a based af song

and then there are a lot of people that are mad that the shuffle of love song was cut and only appeared as diegetic sound when bridget was showing off her little dancey dance, but actually, I see why it was cut. while it was a fun song that I enjoy and listen to, it didn’t tell us anything new about bridget's feelings

in the first 3 descendants movies the songs were more to like. To examine a character’s inner feelings as a musical SHOULD be, but like the development happened across the duration of the movie. song didn't exist solely to fastforward the plot. did i mention is like “look ben is really fucking in love with mal”. evil like me represents mal’s inner struggles (I HATE when people thought maleficent ACTUALLY appeared in auradon to personally talk to mal about her self esteem. Even as a child it was glaringly obvious that it was literally mal’s musical equivalent of “hmmm what would my mum do??”). what’s my name communicates uma’s dislike of the isle. even queen of mean demonstrates audrey’s bitterness, one kiss conveys evie’s fears about love because she’s NEVER experienced real love before, and night falls conveys the conflict between the core4 and uma’s trio WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY SOLVING IT IN THE SAME SONG unlike fight of our lives, and they spend the entire movie butting heads and learning to respect and trust one another

I was really in the mood to do some masquerade fanart, but I didn’t feel like coming up with anything original, so here’s some of my favorite (...slightly paraphrased) bits from the first part. I don’t know where it’s going, but it’s pretty fun so far!

also one that isn’t canon except in my heart:

WIP Wednesday — Steddie Mutual Pining

August in Indiana is hot. Eddie’s hair has grown an extra four inches since that fateful spring break, and Steve keeps threatening him with scissors everytime Eddie complains about being sweaty, but it’s fine. It’s great actually. Because ‘87 is going to be his year, and so far, it’s been amazing. Eddie’s kept a steady job down at the radio station, works weekends stocking the grocery store, and has had more money than drugs in his possession for the first time in his life. His band is doing well, his friends are doing well, and Eddie has fallen in love. And he’s almost positive Steve’s falling in love with him back.

If only Steve knew that, anyways.

Which—Eddie is working on it, alright, he is doing his best. He is going to be Steve Harrington’s bisexual awakening, and he’s going to lord it over Robin’s head for the rest of her life, all the way to the nursing home the three of them are going to terrorize together. It’s going to be amazing.

Because Eddie has turned Steve’s head. He knows he has. Because, Steve likes Eddie’s leather jacket, his ripped pants, and his rings, but Steve also likes the cropped AC/DC shirt, the eyeliner, the tattoo Eddie got over last Thanksgiving that sits low on his hip, peeking over the waist of his pants. He likes watching Eddie play guitar, on stage and off. He likes Eddie’s music in the beemer, he likes Eddie’s favorite diner, and he likes to listen to Eddie talk.

Eddie knows all this because he’s been taking meticulous notes for over a year now. 

Ever since Steve’s whirlwind weekend fling with Nancy in April ‘86 when Eddie had still been handcuffed to a hospital bed, and the two of them had looked at each other after and finally realized, “Oh god, I definitely don’t want to have six nuggets with you.”

Ever since Steve had sat down in Eddie’s hospital room post-second-break-up with Nancy Wheeler, and had said, “Dude, once we manage to spring you, we’re going on a road trip.”

And they had that summer, when Eddie’s name was finally cleared and the hospital had finally released him and his physical therapist had finally given him the green light. Eddie and Steve had thrown a few things into the back of his van and disappeared for the better part of a month. They’d made it all the way to California, sleeping in the back or in empty fields, before their money ran out and Steve had had to call his parents to wire enough cash for them to get home.

He could have stayed out there, Eddie thinks, with the beach and sand. Eddie could have driven up to Portland, made a new band, and he could have never thought about Hawkins-fucking-Indiana again.

Then Steve had hung up the phone, his lips pinched and bloodless, a wrinkle in his brow. But when he had turned to Eddie, his face cracked into the smile Eddie was sure he was going to fall in love with by Christmas, and he had asked, “Ready to go home?”
