Controversial Post
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to those reading this.
This will be a controversial post, so please grab your pitchforks and hold on to your keyboards.
Many people like to point out fictional characters that many viewers idolize, despite the creators pointing out that said characters are not good role models. The most mentioned characters are Don Draper from Mad Men, Walter White from Breaking Bad, and The Joker from Joker.
However, movies and TV shows about middle-aged men are not the only sources of media that feature characters who are poor role models but receive a lot of worship from fandoms.(please excuse my use of passive voice). Many Disney films and TV shows, which are typically about high school and college-aged girls, feature main or supporting characters who are poor role models but are idolized by their fandoms. These are broad statements, so I will not name names. I am solely generalizing.
This was inspired by @dani-luminae 's post comparing Mal Bertha and Elsa of Arendelle. I recently re-blogged the post.
The majority of the featured characters are from films, but a few are from TV shows and TV movies. If you would like to add any more, please do so by replying or re-blogging.
At the top of my head, I have listed Mal and Audrey from the Descendants franchise.
Next, jumping to the Encanto fandom is Isabela Madrigal and maybe(emphasizing maybe) Dolores Madrigal.
So much collateral damage. Thankfully this scene takes place in a small town(nothing against small towns. I am from a small town myself), and if it took place in an urban area, the scene would look like the aftermath of an Avengers movie.
Lastly, since this post is getting too long, is another magical big sister, Elsa of Arendelle from Frozen(Same w/ the girlies from Encanto above: being a bad sister, plus, and mainly, collateral damage).
Yes, all of the ladies I mentioned above are b*d*ss*s, and do display some positive personality traits and engage in prosocial behaviors. However, despite that, they are not good role models in universe, as IRL, they would be felons, and their family members and friends may limit contact with them.
There is nothing wrong with sympathizing with any of the characters above. There is nothing wrong with relating to the characters above. There is nothing wrong with liking the characters above. However, you can sympathize with, relate to, or even like the characters above while simultaneously recognizing them as poor role models in universe and IRL.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my very controversial post, and please be kind and polite in your replies and re-blogs.
To anyone who read my entire blog post, and have a great day or night.

Who do you think the main aks and vks would be friends with? Outside of their regular friends (i.e the sea 3 and core four and Hero 6) ? And why?
So, besides for their immediate group of obvious friends:
Mal: Jane, since they're both half fairy.
Jay: His cousin Jade. Aziz, the son of Aladdin and Jasmine, much to everyone's surprise, most of all their own. Jordan. Lonnie, of course.
Carlos: Doug, since they're both smart, bookish, and usually underestimated. Claudine Frollo, since they both have....difficult parents, and would help each other out. His cousins, Diego, Ivy, and Hunter de Vil, the latter two whom I like to pretend exist in the Descendants universe. Harry and Jace Badun, not that they have anything in common, but they all got shoved together all the time during childhood that they ended up just getting along with each other regardless.
Evie: Dizzy, of course, since they both share a love of fashion. Audrey, surprisingly, once Audrey realizes that VKs aren't so bad and the whole Queen of Mean episode is over with and she's changed from that. Jane?
Uma: Harriet Hook, as Harriet is a fellow pirate captain whom she is allied with, what with Harry being her first mate. (Harriet is also her future sister-in-law, not that Uma nor Harry will admit it, although CJ takes great pleasure in loudly announcing it.) Ben, at some point after D3 - Uma is a young ruler too, in a way, she has her pirate crew, and both of them are under great stress. Ben wasn't trapped with villains under a barrier, though.
Harry: I think it said somewhere that Harry and Gil used to be friends with Jay? Also Lonnie, because anyone who can beat him at swordfighting earns his respect. His sisters, not that any of them will admit it. The rest of the crew.
Gil: He used to be friends with Jay like Harry? Ben, actually, since Ben decides to set a personal example for "don't judge the children for what their parents did." Also people like Dizzy and Jane and Evie....basically anyone who's cheerful or optimistic or hopeful like he is.
Celia: Her sister Freddie, Uma (who depending on what headcanon you believe may also be her sister), CJ Hook, since she's friends with her sister, and, my headcanon, Tiana's daughter at Auradon Prep who's just about Celia's age. (Tina? Tanya? Evangeline? They got assigned to work together on a science project. The teacher assigned them randomly and didn't think about the possible ramifications. Fortunately, to everyone's surprise including their own, once they got past the whole "My dad turned your dad into a frog. My mom sent you dad to the other side," thing, they got along pretty well.
Dizzy: Jane, Audrey, Lonnie, and in fact any girl ever who comes to her to have her hair and nails done and/or fashion advice, which Dizzy, despite the fact that she's younger than most of them, knows a lot about. Also her cousin Anthony.
Squeaky and Squirmy: Their older brother Sammy, plus all three of the Hooks. CJ sees them as little brothers.
Ben: Everyone. Really. He's Ben. He's friends with everyone.
Lonnie: Jane, well, she tried to be friends with Audrey, but then Audrey went and became the Queen of Mean, and actually also Uma.
Chad: Audrey, of course. And Ben. They were pretty good friends, after all, or at least they used to be....
Doug: Carlos. His brother and cousins. Hey - Doug and Carlos can bond over being the smart kids with a bunch of cousins!
Audrey: Chad. Ben. Well, she used to be friends with Ben, but then he met Mal and it all went downhill from there. Once Audrey and Mal, post-D3, have a long honest discussion, they have....well, perhaps not friendship, but an understanding. Dizzy, actually - she may be a VK, but her knowledge of fashion and beauty is to rival any princess's, and Audrey's never one to turn down a free makeover.
Jane: Mal, as they're both half fae. Lonnie, sometimes, although as Jane is so insecure and Lonnie is definitely not, sometimes being around her makes Jane even more insecure as she wonders what she's missing.

Do you ever noticed how the Descendants fandom/fanfiction doesn't write much about the lesser known characters like Aziz, Jr etc. Only time you'd see them is when they were mentioned by other characters. Would it be nice if someone writes about these lesser known descendants kids so that people can adore them? What do you think?
It would certainly be nice!
But writing fanfiction is a hobby and we shouldn't force anyone into writing stuff they're not interested in. So the only thing to do is to make them known: I personally didn't know about most of these AK characters when I started writing.
And having more canon characters in the background is always nice.
Also, I'm writing about Arabella, AK mermaid from the Rise. And I'll continue to do so, so more people can know her. Idk about the adore part, though. Girl's getting a corruption arc.
I know you are writing a story about the AKs specifically! I think that's very cool, too!

Mirabel and Vanellope Part 3(Featuring Hiro)
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone who is reading this.
My boyfriend and I have updated our Descendants AU, and part of that included adding to or changing the backstories of canon Disney characters, some of the being Hiro Hamata and Vanellope Von Schweetz.
In our AU, Vanessa Madrigal, aka "Vanellope Von Schweetz" is the daughter of Mirabel Madrigal and Hiro Hamata.
Hiro met Mirabel while he was on a business trip in The Encanto, when they were ~20 years old, or around 3 years before the formation of Auaradon. The started dating soon after they met, and a few months into their relationship, Hiro's firm transferred locations, from Sanfransokyo to The Encanto. They then dated for 2 years, and on their 2nd anniversary, Hiro proposed to Mirabel in July of 1994. Mirabel said yes, and they married 6 months, in late January of 1995. A few months into marriage, Mini-Max informed Mirabel that she was expecting triplets. The new triplets were born a few days before the formation of Auaradon. I will provide more information on them in my next post
Thank you for reading my post, and have a good day or night.

Do you have songs that remind you of your favourite Descendants characters?
If so, which song(s) remind you of which character?
Well..I listen to Cupid and it reminds me of Lonnie.
Any Shiloh song reminds me of Jr.
If you want to listen to Shiloh, here’s her songs:
