ouat text posts: pt. 3/?

[ouatnextgen]

If Descendants characters were apart of the next gen, what do you think their relationships with the other next gen would be (assuming they were the younger siblings of the next gen).

This is finna be a looong one.

Obviously all the siblings love each other, and all the older siblings are protective of the little ones, so I tried not to be too repetitive with the details.

The Mills:

Henry:

He has so many siblings now, oh god

Bobby is slightly more of a handful than he's used to, so he (and Lucy) keep him on his toes

Henry always asks Regina if he was like that as a kid, and her answer is always a smug "Yes"

Bobby likes spending time with Henry's other families (ie, his own and the Swan-Joneses)

Evie's a lot quieter, so he appreciates that

He's very protective of Evie specifically

She could ask him for the moon and the stars, and you know that Henry would find someway to bring them down for her.

Roland:

He knows damn well that Bobby looks up to him a lot, so he tries to put on his best act when he's around

Unfortunately, he is more susceptible to The Eyes than Henry is, so Bobby ends up getting away with waaaaay more stuff with Big Bro Roland

Like Henry, he is also very protective of Evie, and will be the one who teaches her how to kill a man when she's older

Basically, Evie is their little princess, and you don't wanna fuck with her

While Evie doesn't like camping, she will tolerate it when she goes with her father, brothers, and sister.

Robyn:

Robyn's just glad she's not the baby anymore lol

She's the least busy of her siblings, by default of being younger, so she's the one who gets to babysit Bobby and Evie when the adults are busy

She and Bobby like to practice archery and eat dirt together or whatever it is kids do

She's never been very girly, so she and Evie have trouble bonding at times

The Nolans:

Leo:

Leo likes hanging out with little kids, so he never minds babysitting Chad

He's very bossy, however, and seems to be allergic to fun, so Chad doesn't like it when he babysits

Leo can also be kind of preachy about the rules, so Chad will end up getting more lectures from Leo than their parents sometimes

Despite the minor animosity, Leo always wants to be a role model and someone to look up to for Chad

He likes to teach him sword fighting and archery, even when Chad has zero interest or skill for those things

Beck (I can't pick a name for this kid, for now it's Beck):

He and Chad go together like two peas in a pod

Beck's sarcastic outlook paired with Chad's optimism make a fully rounded duo

Beck encourages Chad to commit Crimes, and Chad is the Voice Of Reason

The Hermans/Boyds:

Alex:

Alex is pretty chill with Chloe

Alex feels like a disappointment to their parents, so she is kind of worried that Chloe might be their "replacement"

Chloe basically hero-worships Alex, and dyes her hair blue like how Alex dyes theirs pink

In the future, Chloe ends up being a jock instead of a girly girl, and she and Alex bond over their mother not knowing what to do with either of them

Charlie:

He and Chloe argue (a lot)

Charlie hates sports, and Chloe hates boring nerd junk, so they don't get along

They are the epitome of "only I'M allowed to make fun of my sibling!" If anyone else makes fun of either of them, they get the wrath of the other one

The Briarwoods (Aurora's Family):

PJ:

PJ gets along fine with both Ariana and Audrey

He and Ariana specifically love to banter back and forth, which is hilarious to witness since Ariana wins 99% of the time

He will have tea parties with Audrey and dress up like a princess, and he will slay whichever princess dress she forces on him

Arabella:

The girls aren't actually triplets (Ariana isn't even their sister), but they're so close in age and act so similar, that they're always called triplets

They all love princess stuff, and adore being actual princesses; they all want to move to the Enchanted Forest and have balls

When they get older, they sing a different tune, but stay close

The Swan-Joneses:

Henry:

He has so many siblings now, oh god

Harriett has given Henry a lot of gray hairs; more than Bobby, almost as much as CJ

He likes playing pirate with all of the kids

He always calls Harry 'Killian Jr.'

He's the one who bought CJ her red leather coat, to be more like Emma

He spoils them so much (The Mills kids too, but Regina already spoils them a lot) and always brings them gifts when he visits

Alice:

She loves having such a big family and so many little siblings

She shares her love of books with Harriett, stargazing with Harry, and painting with CJ

She's the sibling that gets sacked with babysitting duty, but she never minds

Hope:

Hope is the "cool" sibling, aka, she lets them get away with more shit than Henry and Alice do

She's part of the reason CJ is Like That

For whatever reason, she's Harry's favorite sibling, which sucks for her, since she's not a fan of little kids

The Golds:

Gideon:

Ben is very quiet, so he'll tag along with Gideon everywhere and no one will even notice

Gideon and Ben have a book club between the two of them

He feels kind of weird that Ben still has that "my dad is the best" attitude, but doesn't have the heart to tell him the whole truth

They tell each other everything, and despite the age difference, are very close

OUAT next generation aesthetic part 2:

This is for Neal Charming (in the enchanted forest)

I like to imagine he has a lot of pressure put on him, to be a perfect hero like his parents and his sister and it's slowly causing him to snap and go to the dark side.

[kazoosandfannypacks]

Gideon: So nobody cares about the good grades I got as a kid?

Hope: Nope.

Neal: They only care that you didn't eat paste.

Gideon: Uh, how long does that stuff stay in ya?

[goosin-around]

David: Tell Neal about the birds and the bees.

Snow: They're disappearing at an alarming rate.

What if Red Snowing ended up in Hyperion Heights?, Part II: What happened to their kids?

After the Missing Year, Snow and Ruby both returned to Storybrooke pregnant. After the curse broke, they went into labor on the same day. Snow gave birth to Neal David while Ruby delivered Charlotte Eva.

Growing up, Neal was the nerdy, responsible one. He loves comic books, classic literature and video games. Charlotte became reckless, giving into her wolf side. Unlike her brother, she took up Snow's offer to learn archery. Regardless, they were close and considered each other twins.

Enter Drizella's curse, the dynamic duo is separated.

Jacob "Jake" Aarons lives in the rough side of Hyperion Heights with his mother, Brandy. He's aware of their financial situation and does everything he can to help. That means skipping school to work at the bodega. He has anger and impulse control issues due to his father leaving when he was young. Jake is often dodging detectives Rogers and Weaver.

Bianca Wolf resides in a beautiful penthouse overlooking the river. She's an overachiever who spends most of the time in the library, hoping anything will impress her mom. Not that Mavis ever seems to notice. She spends most of her time alone in that beautiful penthouse, reading comic books. Everyone thinks she's a spoiled princess, but she hides a deep secret of self-harm.

The two hardly interact, especially as he's rarely at school. Then one day, she catches him tagging one of her mom's buildings. He expects her to rat him out, but instead, she begins helping. They're busted by Kent Shepherd and Detective Rogers, who turn them into their mothers.

Jake and Bianca start up an unlikely friendship. They see how happy their mothers and Kent are. For once, they have hope that maybe, just maybe, some light can come to their lives.

i forget how many years it is since once ended, but i bet neal the baby is still a baby.

[sasukesofficiallawyer]

I feel so bad for Henry. His mother is his other mother’s step grandma which makes his biological mother his step niece and makes him his own uncle. It also makes his grandma his step sister and his adopted mother his step great grand mother. His uncle is a newborn and his other uncle is his step father. His step father’s ex wife is his biological grandmother. His step niece and step great grandmother have sexual tension. His biological grandfather had sex with his step great great grandmother and made out with his step great grandmother aka his mother. He has a step sister from a previously evil clone of his stepfather. This poor boy.

Get to Know: Leo

I stole the character template used in this fic, because I thought it was really thorough, and a good exercise for character building. So thanks ao3 user StarkPark!

Name

Neal Leopold Nolan. Named in honor of Neal Cassidy, and Snow’s father. Started going by Leo in middle school, when he fully found out about what Neal Cassidy did to Emma.

Nicknames

Leo (primary nickname)

Uncle (by Hope, to annoy him)

His Royal Annoyingness (by PJ)

Personality

He is rather uptight, but cares very much about his friends, family, and his people. He tries to mold his personality to be like his father’s.

Is very much like his mother however, in his resourcefulness, hopefulness, and can-do attitude.

He is practical and resourceful, but can come across as stuck up or a goody two shoes. He’s the most responsible out of his friends, which leads to him both keeping them all safe, and hindering their adventures.

He’s the heir to the throne of Misthaven, and acts like it. He never lets himself stray from his golden boy persona, making certain that the student body, his friends, and even his family see him as infailable. Only in private does he let go of this persona, and becomes who he really is: an anxious wreck.

Sexuality

Bisexual. Romantically and sexually attracted to all genders

Fears

Everything man, he has anxiety

But specifically, not living up to expectations, letting people down, breaking apart and not being able to put himself back together, to name a few.
