I lowkey love an Uma and Carlos relationship and everyone should check out Wednesday’s Child by @davidelizabethbowiestrider​

 - Uma always got looked down on for her short size and because Ursula wasn’t all that terrifying compared to other villains, so she tries to never underestimate anyone and doesn’t believe people when they say Carlos is a whimp

 - because she and Carlos went to different schools (Dragon Hall and Serpent Prep), Uma never sees his intelligence first hand. If she did, she would want Carlos on her crew

 - even though Mal and Uma hate each other, they respect each other. Uma knows Mal wouldn’t have someone on her crew unless they were special, so she always keeps an eye on Carlos

 - very formal to each other, for Isle standards. They are technically in different crews, but Carlos doesn’t seem to care much about that and he’s one of the few that never called her ‘Shrimpy’. She’ll mock him for joining Mal’s gang, but words don’t affect Carlos

 - Carlos will sometimes trade old sewing needles (which can be used as fish hooks) for some food at Ursula’s

 - once they’re in Auradon and Mal and Uma are kind of civil, she flirts with Carlos just to upset Mal and because watching Carlos stutter and turn red is kind of funny and not technically good or evil

 - Uma also encourages Harry to flirt with Carlos because Mal gets so irritated and defensive over them teasing one of her crew

 - it eventually wears off and stops making Carlos so flustered so gradually, when Uma comes to embarrass him, they end up talking like normal for just a few minutes

- as some of the only black kids on the Isle, Uma comes to Carlos whenever she wants a new style. Carlos always did Cruella’s hair and she always looked nice (for a disgraced fashion icon), so Uma comes to bother him sometimes.

 - Carlos asks her for swimming lessons in return and he confesses it’s always a fear in the back of his mind that he’ll be sent back to the Isle, surrounded by all the water and unable to leave.

 - Uma wants to be a marine biologist and Carlos likes all his science, so as they get older, they study biology together
