My favorite part are the evil villain parents who are clearly in a polyamorous relationship

Because why are you all coparenting your 4 children together??

Continuing my redesigns for Descendants, this is my take on Carlos de Vil! Here’s where I can see why the modern setting approach works better for a character like Carlos, whose mother isn’t close to the other villains’ time periods. Let’s just pretend that in this take, the school and world take place in a “out of time” sort of setting where it’s primarily a fantasy oriented place with the possibility of characters coming in from modern time periods. That, or the other characters are just suuuuper old fashioned. 🙃 For Carlos, I liked the idea of his wardrobe being old money hand downs passed over to him by Cruella - high fashion materials that are now tearing and falling apart. I kept him slightly shorter than the girls (even though it’s not super apparent without a height comparison) just because I liked that idea of him being the runt of the litter in his friend group.

Aside from being Cameron's grandmother, she was known for being a member of the "Clinton 12"; twelve black students who integrated Clinton High School in Tennessee in 1956. They were the first black students to attend a public high school in the south after Brown v. Board of Education while facing violent threats, protests, and a school bombing two years later in 1958. Her family pulled her from the school and moved to Los Angeles, but even so, Jo Ann had wanted to stay at Clinton and stayed optimistic. She was even elected as vice-president in her homeroom class.

After graduating, Jo Ann became a pediatric nurse and spoke about her experiences at Clinton at other schools, and would go on to form a singing group with her sister and cousin. Jo Ann also wrote a book about her experiences at Clinton and released a few poems as well.

I just wanted to take the time to commemorate Jo Ann and her legacy. May she rest in peace, may she never be forgotten.
