#jay al jafar

[goforshexgo]

Smart one

You were up studying for a test, strange maybe for your other vk peers except for Carlos, but you cared about your academics and liked to do well academically. Halfway through your notes you heard someone start knocking hard on your window, it was Jay Al Jafar, one of your closest friends and the boy you had the fattest crush on. Not like you'd admit that, though. You rolled your eyes as you got up and opened it.

"Man, how many times do I have to tell you not to knock so damn hard, Jay." You scolded as the long haired boy climbed through your window, grinning.

"Yea yea, 'It's held together by broken hopes and dreams.'" He quoted as he walked further into your gloomy room before sitting on the dilapidated footboard of your bed and crossing his arms as he gazed at you with his signature smile. Rolling your eyes again, this time with an additional head shake and a smile. You sat back down at your desk and started your studying again.

"What do you want Jay ?" You asked but it sounded more like a statement, earning a pout from your dark haired friend.

"How lowly do you think of me to think that I came over to see you just because I wanted something from you ?" Jay pouted as he feigned hurt before a charming smile overtook his again as he walked over to the run down desk you sat at

"Very. Now what do you want ?" You questioned again not bothering to look up at Jay, who was now standing next to you, his hands planted firmly on the desk as he looked down at you.

"Anthony got this new watch, I want it." Jay confessed with his signature smile, the smile that you loved hated. "And he's throwing a hellraiser tonight."

"I'm not going to a party just to help you steal his watch." You told him flatly continuing to look down at your tattered text book and notes that smelled of mildew.

"Oh c'monnn, you owe me anyway." Your head snapped up to him upon hearing his words. You didn't owe Jay shit.

"I don't owe you shit, Jay." You asserted pushing back in your chair to cross your arms across your chest. Jay chuckled before moving his face closer to yours.

"Oh come one, just this once ?" Jay pleaded, looking at you with the prettiest brown eyes you swore you ever saw.

Hiding the flustered feeling you feel at his proximity you spoke.

"Oh, just this once ? You know it funny because I remember you said that when you asked me to try to steal one of Cruella's coats ? Oh, or when you tried to steal from Gothel and you got me to distract her ? Oooo, or what about the time you tried to convince me to sneak you into-"

Jay cut you off before you could finish the long list of "Just this once's"

"Okay okay, so it's not just this once but I swear it's worth it."

You stare at him with a bored expression as he talks

"And why is that Jay ?"

"Uh, because you get to spend time with me."

"Get the fuck out Jay."

"Come on, you know you want to spend time with me."

His voice sing-songy

You wanted to spend time with him, bad. Like embarrassingly bad. You'd never admit that though.

"Nah, I'm good."

You rejected

"C'mon... please ?"

Jay begged as he grasped at your hands, and VK's never said "please."

"Fine, but you owe me Al Jafar ."

You asserted as you stood, a finger pointed at his chest

"Yes ma'am."

.

.

.

When you got to Anthony's party it was already in full swing. The lights were dim and moody, the music was blaring and kinda shitty because of the busted speakers that the people of Auradon threw away to the people of the isle, and the air smelled of mold, sweat, and expired perfume along other expired hygiene products. Bodies danced and grinded, others stood in corners and chatted or tried their best look as evil and pretentious as possible.

"What now Jay ?"

You questioned as you looked around at the party that went on before you

"Gotta find Tremaine."

Jay answered as he grabbed you hand and walked into the party.

You felt your stomach leap as he made contact with you, frantically looking down where you two were now connected, then smiled to yourself small-ly

The two of looked around for three minutes tops, Jay still holding your hand, before he turned around to you.

"Can't find him, wanna dance ?"

He offered casually.

"We looked for less than five minutes."

"And we couldn't find him, so do you want to dance."

With a roll of your eyes, you agreed and began to dance.

"Was this your plan all along, Al Jafar ?"

"You really are a smart one, huh?"

I changed my mind for the plot of this fic last minute so I'm sorry the ending is lackluster. Also I haven't written fanfic in years. ISN'T HE JUST DREAMY THO 😍😍

El otro padre en mi Au genderbend

Ok , para este au e leído algunas teorías y fanfictions del tema , a si que voy a hablar de cual es la relación e historia de los padres en este Au

Mal

Bueno , esta es evidente , Maléfica es francamente más desgraciada aquí, combinando un poco su historia con los live acción, tenemos a esta villana siendo traicionada por su hija adoptiva, tras años de resentimiento hacia los humanos, tras tener a Mal , lo que ella quería era una niña , que fuera tan dulce como Aurora, pero leal a ella, solo para resultar en un niño con pelo azul y un gran parecido al patético con complejo de dios , dejando a su hijo como un mal recuerdo, pero buscando hacerlo " fuerte "

Por otro lado , Hades es un dios que siempre vivió a la sombra de si hermano , con un trauma con su padre, decidió que no estaba listo para la paternidad... cosa que decidió una vez ya había tenido un hijo , pensando que era mejor alejarse de Mal , pero con la llegada de Hadie (aquí una niña ), pues digamos que el destino ya no le pregunto sobre sus Daddy issues, pero eso genero que Mal le recintiera , pues cuido a la niña , mientras a el lo abandonó con Maléfica, lo cual básicamente lo volvería el peor hermano mayor de la isla , también cabe decir que Mal parece ser más Hada , que dios , pero Hadie, aún con su padre atrapado en su forma mortal , parece ser mas diosa que otros semidioses, pudiendo ver fantasmas aún con la barrera

Evan ( Evie )

Por otro lado tenemos a Evan , la reina malvada fue criada para pensar que la belleza es clave para tu final feliz, y aún si amaba a Evan , la verdad es que su cuidado extremo a su apariencia, lo termino volviendo un desastre lleno de trastornos alimenticios, pero eso no quita que tiene mamitis, pues sabe su madre solo quería que sobreviviera, aún a si , no quita que el fue producto de la búsqueda de un hijo más hermoso que Blancanieves, producto del hombre más apuesto e idiota que Evan pudo encontrar

Ahora, hablemos de Gaston , ninguno de los 2 sabe de su relación, nadie de la isla ... pues mucho no se parecen , pero no quita que fueron sus genes ,más los de la reina , que volverían a Evan en el más hermoso de todos , pero aún a si, Gaston no es fan de que el chico afeminado sea más popular que sus propios hijos , ni los gemelos son tan lindos con el , posiblemente la única persona que no despreciaria a Evan , sea Ginny , aunque francamente, no seria raro pensar que Gaston prefiriera volver a Evan " el macho más macho entre los machos", que demostrarle amor a su hija

Jade (Jay )

Jade no pasó sus primeros años con Jafar, ella aprendió a robar de su madre , Sadira sin magia , sobreviviendo en la isla con una niña pequeña, tuvo que volver a sus viejas costumbres, enseñando a su hija a robar, más lamentablemente, la violencia de la isla cobró una víctima, Jade paso quien sabe cuánto tiempo sola ,hasta que cierto chico hada ma encontró , ayudándole a dar con su padre

Jafar por otro lado, no sabia que su aventura con otra de las pocas villanas de su tierra natal , había dado frutos en una niña ,una muy buena ladrona , Jafar si ama a Jade , pero lamentablemente, siempre le recalco a su hija que debían de sobrevivir, lo que llevó a Jade a alejarse de su padre , pues se sentía como una empleada más para el , más hay algo bueno de esto , Jade aprendió a rascarse con sus propias uñas , aún a si , Jade lleva siempre un hiyab rojo , la única cosa que Jafar le a regalado , porque al final del día,una parte de ella quiere saber si su padre le ama o no

Cloe ( carlos )

Estos 2 se volvieron amantes ,aunque jamás formalizaron nada , pues Cruella De vil no pierde tiempo con hombres, una vez nace Cloe, su padre se fue de Hell Hall , volviendo de vez en cuando , cuando Cruella le dejó volver , Le Pelt realmente poco o nada le importo Cloe , aunque estaba con ella , jamás le confesó que era su padre , porque realmente no tenía ningún interés en ella , de hecho , su trato con la niña no es diferente al que recibía Alonso

Por otro lado , Cruella tiene una relación curiosa con su hija , su relación siempre estuvo de cabeza, con Cloe cuidando a su madre más como una hija , aunque de cierta forma, Cloe admira a su madre , no es fácil ser el icono de la moda feminista, para luego ser desterrado a una isla , pero no quita que Cloe jamás sintió refugio con ella , por el lado de Cruella , su estado mental actual la llevó a ciertos episodios regresivos , donde confundía a Cloe con Annita , que era cuando más cariñosa se ponía

Bet (Ben)

Ok, técnicamente la Hechicera no es madre de Bet , pero basado en otros materiales de Disney y teorías, Bet es nieta de la Hechicera , la cual si bien se a mantenido alejada de su familia, en parte por la discriminación hacia los seres mágicos, solo se permitió ver a Bet y a Bella a lo lejos... aunque a ella le agrada más Mal , que Adam

Si hablamos de la Bella y la Bestia , Bet tiene una mejor relación con su madre , ya que las 2 son muy parecidas , mujeres sensibles e inteligentes, pero tercas como mulas , además de que Bella siempre le apoya , aún si esta preocupada por su actitud perfeccionista

Ahora, Adam es otra historia, sabia que el no fue el príncipe estándar, cuestionando muchas veces si el es bueno para Bella , no queriendo que Bet terminara con alguien como el , decidió animar un compromiso con Adrien ( Audrey) , le entrego a su hija el príncipe perfecto en bandeja de plata , y ella se va con el punk que no puede hablar sin palabrotas, pero su relación tiene más conflictos, Adam constantemente presiona a Bet para entrar en parámetros reales muy estrictos, pues sabe su hija la tiene difícil siendo una mujer , pensando que si era la princesa perfecta, recibiría más apoyo, pero Bet termina siendo un desastre emocional, llena de miedos extremos a la más mínima imperfección, además de con problemas de ansiedad

4 and 6 (bc i'm a sucker for sleeping headcanons) for jamikali and/or jaylos <3

@moorsgrimhilde MY BELOVEDS. 💖 Thank you, Sofia! 😘💕

4. When they can’t sleep, what do they do?

JAMIKALI: On the nights where Kalim is too restless to lay still for even a minute, Jamil will lead him out to the balcony outside their bedroom, where there's a hammock big enough for two. They lay there looking up at the stars, waiting to make a wish on one, and sometimes that's enough for Kalim to doze off on Jamil's chest in a matter of minutes; other nights, Jamil can be persuaded to sing, albeit very softly, and Kalim will smile like the sun had risen early.

JAYLOS: They're both light sleepers, even in Auradon, so the faintest sigh or restless push of the covers and they're both awake. "Are you okay?" isn't worth asking, since they know the answer on nights like those. Instead, Jay will say something like, "Bet I could kick your ass at Street Fighter 3 with my eyes closed," and next thing you know, they're waking up on the couch in a tangle of limbs to the sound of Mal and Evie pounding on the door because they missed breakfast.

6. Who falls asleep last, watching the other with a small affectionate smile?

JAMIKALI: Kalim likes to pretend he's asleep so Jamil will drop his guard, and then he'll slowly crack one eye open to sneak a glance at Jamil and smile to himself as he inches closer for snuggles. Jamil just pretends not to feel it when Kalim inevitably worms himself under his arm and presses up against his chest. He may never admit it, but he sleeps the best when Kalim is in his arms like that, since there's no question of his safety when he can feel his warmth the whole night.

JAYLOS: It's almost always Jay, though there are exceptions, like when Jay does something stupid enough that Carlos almost loses him; and, god, he wants to be mad, but the stupidest things Jay's ever done have been to protect Carlos, especially back on the Isle. That's why there's nights where Jay lays deep asleep, unaware of Carlos hovering beside him, keeping vigil in the moonlight, and letting a smile slip because he loves this fucking idiot to pieces.

Is it just me, or do the Core Four from Descendants have a lot in common with Team Cockroach from The Good Place?

Eleanor / Mal

Protagonist. Quite cynical. Most likely to actively want to be bad. "El" sound at the start of their names.

Chidi / Carlos

Sweet but super anxious. Most likely to actively want to be good. Name starts with a C.

Jason/Jay

Thief. Not too smart, but would do anything for their friends, including criminal activity. Into sports. Jay's name is the beginning of Jason's name.

Tahani / Evie

Start out super shallow, obsessed with beauty and popularity, but have hidden depths. Name ends with an i/ie.

All of the above:

Trying to impress neglectful parents, sent to a place where they have to try to be better people than their lives so far have prepared them for.

I know I've been abscent for a while, but the school is killing me. I have a lot of new sketches and this is the first of them. I hope I can show you the rest of characters and the final result soon

To preface: this is for a aged up college descendants server because belle and beast had no right to make their 16 year old take the throne: Do you happen to know of any MENA alts to booboo stewart as Jay in descendants? He plays Jafar’s son, so while I found him wonderful in the role, I’d rather like to provide actual MENA suggestions to whomever picks him up than just be lazy about that casting

Absolutely! Here are some options that could play college-aged characters:

Sami Outalbali (1999 - couldn't find resources)

Cengiz Al (1998)

Omar Ayuso (1998)

Emre Bey (1997)

Idris Nebi Taskan (1997)

Aria Shahghasemi (1996)

Berkay Hardal (1996)

It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. There’s a lot of chatter and rustling from the audience, but the sound is otherwise excellent. Includes playbill scans.

NOTES: Really beautiful shot in an intimate space. Lots of zooms, but a good amount of wider shots too with a very limited (almost nonexistent) amount of heads. The lighting in this theater really liked my camera and I know the show almost “by heart” so I think I followed the action as well as possible. My battery died during the last song, but it starts at the very beginning with only one drop out during dialogue.

NOTES: An adorable and charming new show premiering at Berkeley Repertory. Samantha, Adam, and Savvy are fantastic in their roles, the music is gorgeous, and the sets are beautiful and clever. A very nice capture with just one quick dropout and one small head that can occasionally be seen at the bottom of the screen but never blocks the action. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums and close-ups. The sound is excellent. The show runs 1 hour and 40 minutes with no intermission. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. A

There have been a few changes since Berkeley that tighten up the show a bit and make it ready for Broadway. A near perfect capture with no washout, no obstruction, and just one very quick dropout. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

NOTES: Closing show! Or “rock concert” if you ask Christy Altomare. Yeah so this is a pretty obstructed video. Everyone was really excited so people were standing up, people were moving around, and honestly I had a little trouble paying attending to my viewfinder with all of the tears streaming down my face. Like Beetlejuice I would say it’s mostly like highlights, but all of the things that happen in the center part of the stage are captured really well and the video is DEFINITELY Christy centric. “Journey to the Past” is complete and gorgeous and you will cry. First act starts around when Anya meets Dmitry and the second act starts during “Crossing A Bridge.”

NOTES: Great capture of this wonderful touring company with no obstructions except for a head leaning into the frame for a second or two in Act One. Filmed with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups, and there’s only a couple instances of wandering after applause (limited to early in Act One) and no major dropouts.

NOTES: Unfortunately, one of the key scenes (approx. 2 minutes) in the end, right after „A simple thing (Reprise)“, is missing. The very last minute of the finale was captured though.

Ann - Austin, TX - May 4-15, 2016 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MKV (SD) CAST: Holland Taylor (Ann Richards), Julie White (Voice of Nancy Kohler)

NOTES: ANN is a no-holds-barred portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary governor of Texas. This inspiring and hilarious new play brings us face to face with a complex, colorful and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed. Written and performed by Emmy® Award winner Holland Taylor (“Two and a Half Men"), ANN takes a revealing look at the impassioned woman who enriched the lives of her followers, friends and family.

NOTES: Looks about how you’d expect for a video this old. Serious gen loss (both softness and rainbowing), decent but not great audio.

​ Annie - North Shore Music Theatre, Beverly MA - 2012 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MKV (SD) CAST: Lauren Weintraub (Annie), Jacquelyn Piro Donovan (Miss Hannigan), Raymond Jaramillo McLeod (Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks), Jessica Tyler Wright (Grace Farrell)

Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge - Kennedy Center (Washington DC) - December 23, 1989 FORMAT:  MKV (SD) CAST: Danielle Findley (Annie), Dorothy Loudon (Miss Hannigan), Harve Presnell (Oliver 'Daddy' Warbucks), Lauren Mitchell (Grace Farrell), Marian Seldes (Marietta Christmas), Terrence P Currier (Drake), Ronny Graham (Lionel McCoy), TJ Meyers (Babe Ruth), Raymond Thorne (F.D.R.), Scott Robertson (Charlie Spinoli)

NOTES: This first attempt at a sequel to Annie, Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge, opened at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in December 1989 to universally disastrous reviews.
Extensive reworking of the script and score proved futile, and the project ended before officially reaching Broadway; newly surfaced video was filmed from the balcony. Shot between heads, and the balcony railing is visible, but not too bad-you still get a good feel for the show. Recorded at the second night performance. Some generational loss. B

Annie Get Your Gun - Broadway - 1999 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Bernadette Peters (Annie Oakley), Tom Wopat (Frank Butler), Valerie Wright (Dolly Tate), Peter Marx (Charlie Davenport)

NOTES: The footage is all over the place, the show IS NOT IN ORDER. Includes extra footage from dressing rooms, backstage and the wings. This footage seems to have been a shot by one of the cast or crew.

NOTES: Great audio and video, but the mic seems to get covered midway through the second act until the end of the recording, muting the audio quite severely.

[thisisallthehattersfault]

Anybody wanna hmu and help me come up with some actual plot to justify The Saddest Fucking Thing I Have Ever Written? Cause right now it’s just over a thousand words of Aladdin being helplessly forced to watch Jay die. :)

Slowly, painfully, Jafar’s son staggers to his feet. 

(Jakeem. His name is Jakeem, but he thinks it sounds arrogant, it reminds him too much of his dad. He likes to be called Jay instead.)

There’s blood dripping sluggishly down his face, and one of his eyes is quickly swelling shut. His left leg buckles under his weight, and he nearly goes down, but catches himself with a pained grunt and shifts his center of gravity until he’s standing tall again.

(He’s two years younger than Aziz, and he has a sweet tooth, and he’s spent the last few months teaching himself how to cook. He wanted to be able to make desserts for himself and his friends, but he’s having more fun than he thought he would, and he’s getting pretty good at it. He hasn’t tried to make baklava yet. He doesn’t want to.)

He can’t walk properly, so instead he hobbles, limping on his injured leg, holding his bleeding side with one hand. He’s trembling. “Jay,” Aladdin says, hoarse. “There’s a servant tunnel down the hallway, hidden behind the elephant statue. It goes straight out to the garden. You should be able to get away through there. Go get help.”

Jay groans, “Won’t make it,” and collapses to his knees in front of the cell door. 

(He’s sixteen years old and his favorite color is red and he never knew his mother, he’s afraid of ghosts. He either wants to play tourney professionally or open a bakery when he grows up. If he grows up.)

“What are you doing?” Aladdin asks, when Jay sways on his knees and slumps forward, hands out, bracing against the barrier. Instead of responding, he bows his head and breathes raggedly for a second, then kneels back and fumbles for his pockets. He pulls out a set of worn-looking lockpicks and carefully pushes them as close to the bars as he can. “Jay,” Aladdin says again, sharper. “What are you doing?”

“S’okay,” Jay slurs. “M’okay with this.”

(His friend Evie designs all the clothes for their group so they always look like they’re matching. Jay likes that everyone who sees them will know they’re a package deal. He says Mal is their eyes, their leader. Evie is the heart and Carlos is the brain. He puffs up with pride when he calls himself the hands. On the isle, when Jafar made him steal to earn a place to sleep at night, he would sometimes hold onto the best scores and give them as gifts instead. He says it was always worth the night on the street, to be able to give something nice to one of his friends.)

The barrier over the cell crackles warningly when Jay presses against it, cutting into his hands and wrists with sparks of red, and he whines but doesn’t pull away. Frantic, Aladdin presses against the bars, trying to catch Jay’s eyes. “The servant’s tunnel,” He shouts, and bangs against the bars like he used to bang on the walls of his hideout, to try and scare away the rats that would come creeping around. “Go get help, Jay. You need to get help.”

Jay shakes his head, unsteadily, and keeps feeling over the barrier like he’s looking for weak points. He says, “It’s okay,” and only that, over and over again. “I’m okay, I'm okay with this. It’s okay.” 

He does... Something, something Aladdin can’t explain. The barrier ripples and solidifies into a hazy red film in the air. Jay’s good eye is glittering like polished obsidian, strange and familiar. Of course. Jafar is a sorcerer, of course Jay has magic. It shimmers over his skin like gold dust.

“It’s not fucking okay,” Aladdin shouts, over the sound of his own blood rushing through his ears and the awful crackling of the barrier as it does it’s job, fighting back against being broken. More blood joins the puddle around Jay’s legs. The mess on his face isn’t dripping sluggishly anymore. It’s pouring out of him, like it’s been thinned, soaking down the front of his shirt and dripping from his swollen-closed eye and coating the hands he has raised against his father’s spell. It, too, is glittering. Jay’s magic shines like the inside of the Cave of Wonders. It’s pouring out of him like sand from a broken glass. “Jakeem ibn Jafar, you stop right now!”

He doesn’t realize he used his dad voice until after it’s already echoing off the walls. Jay seems shocked, either by his tone or by the volume. He falters for a moment, peering up at Aladdin through his good eye. For a second, Al feels hope.

Then Jay smiles, crooked and shaky and wrong. “Huh,” He says, and closes his eyes.

And then there is light. Gold, then red, then gold again. The barrier explodes outwards, trying to destroy whoever is attacking it, but Jay’s magic meets it head on and tears it to shreds. With a sound like a small explosion, the spell is broken. 

Aladdin stays hunched on his knees for five shaking breaths. Ten. Fifteen. His ears are ringing, his eyes aching from the blinding flash. Around him, everything is silent. He doesn’t open his eyes. Blindly, he reaches out and feels the shape of the bars, and the air beyond it, and the air beyond that. He slides his hand down one bar, onto the floor, near where the lockpicks should be. The stone floor is cold, and cold, and cold, until it isn’t anymore. His hand slides in something warm and slick. Aladdin gasps for breath, gags on the smell of iron and salt, and breathes through his mouth instead.

He finds the lockpicks a few inches farther out, smooth metal against his fingers. They jingle when he lifts them and rises to his feet, feeling for the keyhole to the bars. It takes him a moment of fumbling -- he’s out of practice, and on the wrong side of the lock -- but he manages to get the door to his cell open. The hinges creak. Aladdin breathes.

He can’t look down. It isn’t a matter of not wanting to -- of course he doesn’t want to see (the boy who snuck him food and water and flinched if Al moved too fast like he was afraid he’d be struck, the boy who turned against the father he was so afraid of to try and do the right thing, the boy who Jafar dragged bloody through the dungeon but refused to lie down and die, the boy who could have saved himself) the boy he failed, but that isn’t it. His neck physically won’t tilt down, his eyes won’t leave a spot on the wall right across from him. He tries, and tries again, and can’t look. 

(Jay was younger than Aladdin was when he met Jasmine, and he had scars on his back and on his hands, his fingers were all crooked from being broken and healing wrong. He shook all over when Jafar came for him but refused to make a sound and Aladdin sat there and did nothing for years while Jay starved and suffered. Aladdin sat there and did nothing while Jay died)

Aladdin looks down and finds himself staring right at Jay’s eye. It’s open, but it isn’t glittering anymore. He’s lying sprawled on the floor in front of the cell in a pool of his own blood, a sixteen year old boy who killed himself to save a man who abandoned him to his fate. A sixteen year old boy pimped out by his own father, a sixteen year old boy with scarred hands and haunted eyes, who liked to cook and stargaze and have sleepovers with his friends. 

With shaking hands, Aladdin reaches down and (hopeful, desperate) feels for a pulse. When he doesn’t find one (he didn't really think he would), he closes Jay’s eye as gently as he can, then turns and takes two shaking steps toward the hallway. Stops. Turns again.

Blood soaks quickly into his sleeves. Jay is heavy in his arms, but Aladdin shifts his grip and refuses to drop him. He carries the corpse of the boy he killed and makes his way towards the servant’s tunnel.

Random trivia time!! Not sure if anyone cares but hey. I know snake jay is more to do with Jafar than anything but I just remembered there was an episode in the Aladdin tv series where this cat goddess (can't remember her name or her grudge off the top of my head) tricked Jass into using some magic lotion to turn her into a Naga and they had to quest for a special fruit to cure it. It got weird in some parts and Al got poisoned by her on accident but that's 90's after school toons for ya.

Oooh, interesting! Send this to @hersilentlanguage, who wrote the snake!Jay piece!

Does the Descendants fandom collectively have last names for the kids? I know Harry's last name is Hook, and obv Carlos's last name is de Vil, and fanon seems to suggest that Evie's last name (by popular demand) is Grimhilde (?), but what about everyone else, esp those who don't have canon last names at all, including the aks?

Hello, Anon! There are definitely some unofficial surnames that the fandom has (more or less) collectively agreed on. Some have been popularized through the tags (like #evie grimhilde), but there are variations I've seen mentioned more than once as headcanons.

Evie:

Evie Grimhilde - This surname is based on the Evil Queen's name (Queen Grimhilde) in some old Disney canon publications.

Evie Queen - This one comes off like a pun, but it's plausible since "Evil Queen" is the only name E.Q. goes by in Descendants canon.

Mal:

Mal Bertha - I'm including this because it could be argued that Mal doesn't have a surname, so just uses her middle name as needed.

Mal Moorland (or Moors) - Referring to Maleficent's kingdom.

Mal Fae (or Fairy/Faerie/Faery) - Simple species-based name.

Jay:

Jay - No last name. I've seen this as a plot point in some fics for just Jay, specifically. The reactions to it can be interesting to explore.

Food for thought from @lsleofthelost:

just a comment, in Arabic names “al” means from. so, if a person was born in Riyadh, you could say “al Riyadh”. for Jay, you could argue that it’s possible for him to have “al Agrabah”, though i use “al jazirat aldaayiein” (roughly translates to lost island), since he was born on the Isle of the Lost. if you want to use a patronymic, you would use “ibn” or “bin”. so, “Jay ibn Jafar” - “Jay son of Jafar”

Uma:

Uma Triskelion - I'm not sure where this one originates, but it refers to the triple spiral symbol, so I assume it's a nod to the Sea Three and, of course, might also evoke the idea of water aesthetically.

Gil:

Gil LeGume - This is taken from Gaston's originally planned surname in Disney canon. As I understand, it's never actually been used, but it's the closest thing we have to canon, so it makes sense for Gil.

Ben:

Ben Florian - Off the top of my head, "Florian" is Ben's canon middle name. I've seen it used as a surname for him and his parents, though.

Ben Beast - It's a little clunky, but I've seen this used occasionally.

Audrey:

Audrey Rose - I can't remember if "Rose" is canon in Descendants. It can definitely be taken as implied canon based on her mother, Aurora (aka Briar Rose). I've seen it used variously as a middle or surname.

Lonnie:

Li Lonnie - This one is implied canon since her father is Li Shang.

Jane:

Jane Fairy - Just a simple species-based name I see around a lot.

Chad:

Chad Charming - Based on his father, Prince Charming.

Doug:

Doug Dwarf - Another species-based name I've seen around, though not as much as others (to be fair, I don't seek out content with Doug, so there may be some better options that I haven't encountered).

If anyone has alternative headcanons, feel free to add on. <3

#anonymous #<3 #descendants #descendants headcanons #descendants fandom #it's wild to me how they made all these characters without canon surnames #like half the fun of writing is coming up with names??? #why would you WASTE that opportunity I don't understand #when I create characters I know those bitches down to their time of birth #like please sir #those are my babies #jkdslajlkgsjkaldg #edit: thank you to sofia for reminding me I forgot Chad lmao <3

They first meet when they are not much more than just street rats, just ten years old. He is the first one brave (or reckless) (or desperate) enough to try to lift something from her. She is definitely not the first one to put blade on his jugular for it.

And...okay, it’s like this: he feels the familiar cool of a knife on his neck, the strain in his arm where she grabbed him and the way his knees sag, because she is pulling him down, to her eye level. Jahid hates that he thinks (hopes) that she’ll kill him. He’ll be revived, of course, because there is no escaping the isle, but by then all his haul will be taken by freeloading rats. All he can think about is that after he deals with this, he’ll need to find a place to spend the night.

Her words shock him from that particular spiral though. “That was wicked,” she’s smiling that Isle half-smile, “show me how you did it and I’ll let you go.”

And well, that’s a deal of a lifetime. “Return the bracelet and I’ll show you, little girl.”

She presses the knife harsher to his throat, and a drop of blood rolls down his neck. Her sharp teeth glint. “You are in no position to make demands.” The girl probaly wanted to say that phrase for way too long. But just because it’s a cliche, it doesn’t mean it’s not real and she won’t slit his throat in this filthy alley.

“Relax, baby fae, I’ll teach you.”

“We’re the same age.” She removes the knife from his neck, but it is still pointed in his direction. “The name’s Mal.”

“I know. I’m Jay.”

***

They are eleven, and they have an alliance of sorts. He is a loner and she runs with Mad Maddy and Uma. But still, they don’t lift shit off each other and they teach each other tricks sometimes (pickpocketing, fighting, running).

They are twelve, and they begin to trade junk they don’t need for junk they need between each other. One morning she comes to their spot with a clearly broken leg and, for some reason, he takes the time bandage it as properly as he knows, instead of taking advantage of the situation like he should. She invites him to hang with her, Uma and Maddy.

They are thirteen, not quite mature enough to terrorise anyone beside their peers. Uma doesn’t run with them anymore, Maddy hasn’t been seen for months and it’s just Jay and Mal. He likes it better this way. They don’t spend too much time together, because what are they, friends?

They are fourteen, and that’s when it all changes. Jahid’s head is hazy and all he can do is crawl because even revival couldn’t heal most of his injuries (the staff is heavy) and he drags himself to their spot. She’s there, oh thank Gods, she’s there. Mal’s eyes flash vivid green when she takes him to the roof of the building they are close to. He offers her jewels and daggers and anything: “Just make it stop, kill me or something. If I die again it will be easier.” She leaves him on the roof and doesn’t say a word.

He probably deserves that. He betrayed many. Jahid can see Auradon from where he is half-sitted. It’s disgustingly beautiful, clean and sparkling. He wants it to burn. For a moment, he can’t even bring himself to hate Mal, who saw him so vulnerable and left, because his hate of Auradon is so all-encompassing.

But she returns, with potions and bandages and a new necklace of bruises. She cleans his cuts and says nothing. Mal takes heavy breaths now and then but he can’t tell if it’s because she wants to say something or it’s just that she can’t breathe properly. She is setting his right leg when she finally breaks the silence.

“Jay, look at me,” her voice is wet with tears. “I- You won’t escape this shithole by leaving a beautiful corpse, okay? We, you and I, we will be so rotten the whole Isle will fear us! And then, and then we will find a way out of here and we will kill everyone who stands in our way. We will kill them and they will stay dead. We will burn the Mainland. But it’s you and I, okay? It’s you and I.”

She is holding his hands in hers and when Jay looks down, he sees that she is wearing that cheap snake bracelet she stole from him when they first met. And it’s like, paradigm shift, in that moment he can see a future where he isn’t miserable and hungry all the time. He nods and smiles weakly because that’s all he can muster.

Nothing is ever same since then.

ONCE UPON A TIME.

when prince ben invited four children of the isle to come study at auradon, he never anticipated the trouble he was getting himself into. from fairy godmother’s wand nearly being stolen by maleficent, to him being abducted by a group of pirates. but, still, he wouldn’t have changed a thing.

it came as no shock that just a year later, he would open auradon’s doors to even more children of the isle. the long since banished children of villains were welcome, should they want to accept the invitation, to come and study at auradon prep. however, that came with a whole new slew of troubles.

mirror, mirror, on the wall, between good and evil, where will you fall?
