Audrey, daughter of Sleeping Beauty, was basically painted as a shallow antagonist since the first movie. But honestly, she didn't do anything wrong, initially. She was even on the Welcoming Committee to welcome the VKs to the school. No doubt, she knew who their parents were and still stood by Ben's side with a smile on her face. She didn't trust them too much, but she was still civil with them. Sure, she came off like the typical shallow popular good in every other high school based movie, but she really wasn't that bad, only wasn't used to rebellious types after living a picture perfect life with only nice people around.
She only really became more openly hostile and snotty towards the group when Mal literally stole her boyfriend. And she was humiliated in front of all her friends and peers in the process. Her boyfriend, canonly of several years, literally confessed to loving a girl in front of the whole school and all the other students cheered at that. Tell me someone in the same situation wouldn't feel some type of way if they watched all the people they thought were their friends just cheer and dance when their SO announces their love for the new girl and not even look back at the heart they just broke. In the real world, there would definitely have been a fight to break out. Yes, she immediately jumped to dating Chad, but she initially did it to try and get Ben's attention/make him jealous. Not her best moment, but she was hurting and no one was really on her side.
At the picnic, she did make some snide comments and cause some drama by revealing to her grandmother who Mal was the daughter of, but her being salty is understandable. I know people that would have thrown a beehive at Mal for what she pulled and I dont blame her. All this was just in the first movie.
Skipping the 2nd movie because she wasn't even mentioned.
By the 3rd movie, she was still angry. While it's revealed that her family pressured her to be queen someday, she did genuinely care for Ben and just wanted to be with him. However, she had to watch as her ex, who never really formally broke up with her, by the way, propose to another girl and once again, she was upset and no one empathized with her. Maybe she should have gotten over it by then, but she loved Ben since they were kids and thought he was her Happy Ending. Instead, he gets with her 'rival' and neither of them have the balls to apologize to her.
So yeah, she spirals to becoming a villain and trying to take over Aura

And Kylo is royal through Leia, therefore he is her Prince Charming, and this is why his love could revive her.
Plot hole? In Descendants 3/2
I have always wondered why the writers wrote Carlos out of the Royal Wedding special. Was it because he became a dedicated character to Cameron Boyce or was it out of respect to his family. Why do some writers write characters out of sequels and for the rest of that franchise and sometimes replace them with a new character and could not recast that character whose voice actor died between 18 to 5 months before the first movie is released. How did Cameron Boyce’s family requested their son’s character to be written out of the story? Why didn’t they replace him with another character? This kind of reminds me of All Dogs Go To Heaven, where Anne-Marie voice actress died a year and a half before the first movie was released. She became a dedicated character to her voice actress and they wrote her out of every future installment and replaced her with a new character. I am just curious.
"If only we had stopped our greenhouse emissions earlier, we could have prevented the extinction on our home planet Venus."
I understand that we can just work out the descendant from the rising sign.
For example we don’t need to specify the south node if we know the north. But we can tell a story from the south node placement.
Can we extrapolate anything from the descendant ?
To start off, Never read the books, Never seen the movies. But I have seen videos of people talking about the franchise online and did some research beforehand. So I have a base understanding of the story and such.
During my research, I found nothing pertaining to The Lion King. So after that, I started wondering if it's possible to get any kind of Lion King representation in this franchise. A child of Scar probably being the most obvious idea to use. To this day The Lion King is still one of Disney's top-rated films, so to have it left out of this massive crossover of Disney characters almost feels like a crime.
Now I know the immediate problem with this concept. Every character in The Lion King is an animal, some also being ferocious predators. This might be fine to do in book form but would pose a problem movie-wise. A Descendants film might not have the budget to have a CG lion throughout the movie.
But a workaround to this might be possible. A magic spell could have been cast on the animals to turn them human. But during my research, I found out at some point in the story magic goes away and I don't know if it ever comes back. So take that as you will.
Now before I end this message I will say that I could have missed something during my research and Descendants might have already had some Lion King references so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. And I don't know if this franchise is still ongoing or if it has been concluded. So if anyone wants to post their ideas on how to incorporate The Lion King into Descendants feel free to do so.
With all that said, good buy.
This intrigues me I wonder if their lineage have been preserved since usually nobilities are well documented.
Specially the 5th century emperors of the western roman empire.
Are there still Ceasars today?
Hey everyone,
Let me take you through my journey of PC upgrades over the last few months as it has been quite the ordeal. I guess I haven’t learned a whole lot since I’m still very trigger happy to purchase things without completely thinking them through or planning, but hey, all’s well that ends well.
Firstly, here are pictures!
So this whole rebuild began when I scored an MSI Ventus RTX 3080ti from Best Buy on one of their first GPU drops back in early October. After a year of not being able to score a GPU I was elated to have gotten an ampere graphics card! I was a little sad that it cost $1934 after tax, hilariously overpriced IMO and borderline scalper pricing, but nonetheless I started purchasing new PC components such as a new CPU, motherboard and RAM. My old PSU, case and SSD’s worked just fine for me still so I had no plan on upgrading those, and decided to build everything into my old NZXT case. And then I got lucky and scored an RTX 3090 at MSRP from Best Buy! Thank the Lord! I promptly returned the 3080ti and installed the 3090.
Then I scored the waterblock and active backplate for a sweet 20% off discount from EK during their Black Friday sale, and couldn’t resist going full watercooling on this build.
That’s where my issues began. I ordered the wrong size radiator which didn’t fit in my case, so I performed a case swap. I wasn’t super happy with the look of the fittings so I ordered all new fittings. My PSU died so I had to RMA that through EVGA’s stellar 10 year warranty. I used an old radiator that had gunk built up in it so it turned my coolant pink, so I had to order a new 360mm radiator and flush the whole loop/all of the blocks. When disassembling the GPU block and putting it back together, I pinched an o-ring which caused a small leak that I luckily found with the EK leak tester. If I hadn’t purchased the leak tester, that leak in the seal would have destroyed my GPU! And then finally, I had used PETG tubing instead of acrylic, so I had to drain my loop yet again so I could swap out the tubing for acrylic. My coolant temp was 40C and I didn’t want to risk the tubing breaking and leaking all over my components so I decided to pre-emotive my swap the tubing out to acrylic.
All in all, I think I’ve drained and filled the loop a good 4-5 times. Needless to say I am not draining/filling it again for at least a year lol.
Hope you enjoyed my build log!

Preface: Yes I know it's your money and you can do whatever you want with it. However, these are stats and facts we can't ignore, and I believe in this case ignorance is not bliss, and it'll be a disservice if I don't try and disseminate this info to my fellow apes, because after all, I want all of you to keep your wealth and for your families and future families to be able to live outside of the meat grinder wage slave driven society we're in. Your kids aren't gonna get another chance at MOASS. This will happen once and only once in world history, so make sure it's not squandered by ill preparation.
~~~~~ and without further ado~~~~~~~~
There's a Chinese saying that goes: " Wealth does not last beyond three generations."And it's based on data. 7/10 of families lose their fortune by the 2nd generation, and 9/10 lose it all by the 3rd generation.
Also from other studies, in 3-5 years, lottery winners are more likely to declare for bankruptcy compared to the average American, and 70% eventually end up broke.
How you can avoid being a chump and being a part of these statistics heavily depends on you actually putting in effort to research and find out how NOT to lose your money and to have a plan to ensure your future generations can continue to grow the family fortune instead of losing it all. But, I can point you in the right direction and give you a tidbit to think about.
One of the biggest things to be aware of is the concept of "Nouveau Riche" vs "Vieux Riche" (aka "old money"). Nouveau Riche is French for "New Rich", and is a term for those who acquired wealth in their own generation, rather than inherit it from their daddy. Jeff Bezos would be Nouveau Riche, for example. These people used to belong to a lower social class, but because of their newfound wealth, suddenly they find themselves in the upper echelons of society.
And guess what? They weren't raised with that kind of money and weren't taught wealth management and self control towards spending. So what they tend to do is to have a need for the world to recognize that they are loaded AF, and the easiest way is to flaunt their wealth through consumption and material goods. This means dumpi
