I wanna have something clever to say about these pics (mostly the way he's staring in the first one because oh wow,) but that just made me realize this is really genuinely the last moment that he actually has any clarity or agency as a character, allowed to make his own decisions.
After this scene, for the rest of this movie and even D3, he's Never Allowed to Disagree With Mal Ever (but expected to take the blame for her actions, somehow) and like. I just wonder if he knows that's how it's going to turn out. He disagreed with her once, she ran off, and all her friends think he's the bad guy. He's still compassionate and it's framed as a bad thing ("The Isle are my people too" vs. "Ben, Uma captured you".) And he tells Mal, "do what you need to do."
The choice is squarely on her. If she wants to leave, fine. If she wants to stay, fine. She already told him they were done on the Isle of the Lost.
Cotillion comes, and hurray! Mal stayed! But Ben's under a spell and everyone acts like he's to blame, like he betrayed Mal somehow. Carlos even implying he would rather have left Ben for dead on the island.
I just wonder, if maybe Ben took a look at all the circumstances and everything, and Mal's mastery of manipulation, and understood what his future was going to be: Agree With Mal, Always, or he would be hated.
Unless Mal made the choice to leave again, but she doesn't.
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.
I’m a huge Disney fan but my favorites are Disney princesses, Mickey and friends Descendants and Lab Rats. Some of my favorite shows are Detentionaire, World Trigger, Blue Lock and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. I also LOVE music my favorite albums are Lemonade by Beyoncé, Hello my Name Is by Bridgit Mendler, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan and Melodrama by Lorde. Some miscellaneous interests are Scooby Doo, Legendborn by Tracy Deonn, Wonder Woman and Newsies.

you wanna know what i think about all the time? what my "roman empire" is (to quote an old trend)?
i think about how william brent is doing. how is he? what does he do now that he's not an actor anymore? how's life going for him? And i wonder these things with genuine concern, he's the only member of the cast that completely vanished from the public and honesty I get it, he's obviously not the kind of person that wants to be linked forever to a character he portrait several years ago. i remember that before deleting his social media, there was a period of time where his Instagram's comments were turned off because, years later, people were still calling him "chase." i bet that can get tiring. also, he's a father, so it's probable he just wanted privacy.
in addition, on a recent podcast episode, bradley, jake, and kelli were talking about elite force, and they said they don't even know where william is or how he's doing. i believe, when talking about a possible season two of ef, jake short said "I'd love to do an episode, but we'd have to locate william brent and whatever wilderness he's hiding in."
recently, his wife started posting more on her Instagram account, and from what I see, they are doing well and have a beautiful family together, and honestly, it warms my heart. i hope he's living his best life and he's happy.

To the people saying "Jason wouldn't have jumped into tartarus for Piper, like Percy did for Annabeth" as a way to demean him. Jason, plunged into the sky from the grand canyon to catch Piper in the first few pages of the lost hero without even knowing who she was, and without the knowledge that he could fly. so he basically jumped to his death attempting to catch her. In the first few pages of his journey, he didn't mind dying to save Piper, and ironically, that's also what he did in the last few pages of his journey. Y'all just be making the most out of pocket claims abt jason fr
And what if I say Jason is, if not the most, one of the most tragic characters in the pjo books and he was only hated because people expected Percy's narration in TLH
Bridgit Mendler is my ultimate inspiration and source of energy in life. I mean, she´s literally like Barbie. What can´t she do?
