i'm going to be honest with you all. i don't know if i can spend the next two or so years until d5 listening to everyone bending over backwards to theorise that ella and/or charming are secretly evil and pulled the prank on bridget. i really don't. i might blow up.

"but uliana couldn't have opened the book" it was probably morgie. y'know, the person who, according to the royals and villains book is desperate for uliana's validation and 'not the most liked' in his group. and thus the person uliana probably made open the book in the og timeline just incase it did fuck them up. "what if ella or charming were tricked by-" this is ella who would tell uliana to her face to get fucked and charming who thought it was impressive they "bested" uliana. in what world are they doing fuck all for her. "but ella was grounded and the prank didn't happen!" i don't know how to tell you this but ella being forbidden to go to the ball is actually the plot of cinderella.

You know, I've seen plenty of comments about "Descendants should have been a young adult TV series!" and... I dunno how I feel about that.

Are there concepts that could use exploring much better geared towards an older audience? Sure.

But would it be the same without silly costumes, brightly-colored hair, stupid (affectionate) songs and teenage drama? All of which I doubt would be allowed in a grimdark teenage action/fantasy series like a bunch of us keep wanting? I doubt that.

I think it being a DCOM is a genuine part of its charm, and if it had become something like Shadowhunters, Once Upon a Time or Fate or even just something that would run on Freeform, all the fun would have been drained out of it.

Genuinely I think at this point the whole "Daphne was just useless in the original series" is misogyny. She and Fred did the exact same stuff, found the same amount of clues as each other (if anything daphne found more) and were both the "faces" of the gang. Basically the only thing Daphne didn't do that Fred did was drive the van.

And if you include the Scrappy era she did that too and also found more stuff cause she stuck with the gang

The "danger prone" bit is just as much Shaggy as her, and if anything I associate "falling into a trap door" with him over her (not to mention Fred does it IN THE TITLE SEQUENCE). And the whole Kidnapping thing is like. Barely there? It happens with the clown and I can't remember many more instances in WAY.

Anyways all of this to say we have no need for plotlines in Scooby-Doo films where Daphne "works to have a place in the gang" SHE HAS ONE SHE'S THEIR FRIEND AND SHE FINDS CLUES AND SHE CAN DO ANYTHING WITH LIMITED RESOURCES

Osamu being allergic to using his own logic is actually one of the funniest things ever to me
