Evie’s And Doug’s Relationship Develops The Best, Pt. 2

Evie’s and Doug’s relationship develops the best, Pt. 2

So, here I go:

So, picking up from where Pt.1 left off, Evie and Doug made up after the coronation and before the after party.

Evie’s And Doug’s Relationship Develops The Best, Pt. 2

In Descendants 2, their relationship took the backseat to all the Mal/Ben drama, mostly Mal, Ben was a total idiotic care bear. And that’s okay, I am not complaining at all about Devie being somewhat benched. This is like Disney channel having its own trope of sidelining characters, story arcs and plot lines or just disregarding them completely.

Not the first time, won’t be the last. You get used to it, eventually. (Salty at High School Musical 13 years later, yes, that’s who I am)

You know, as they did with Evie’s intelligence, boxing her into the fashion corner only. Which I enjoyed, but there’s more to Evie than that and she could be both. And they butchered her further in Descendants 3, more on that later as well.

Also, unpopular opinion, Evie and Carlos are much better lead characters with better arcs and Jay fucking deserved better. Mal can go suck it.

Anyway, back to the topic:

Jumping six months later, Evie and Doug are running a business together from her dorm room. Her designing and him handling her finances, you know, like the power couple that they are. Right off the bat, couple goals already.

Which should show how much they both do trust each other.

That should be surprising, given who their parents are. Again, everyone seems to forget that out of all the AKs/VKs couples shown in the movies, only Doug’s and Evie’s actually come from the same story. They should be enemies. They should not be trusting each other so much to the point where they share a business, let alone be in love. That, I suspect, might have slowed their relationship progress a bit. And it’s a very legit reason to be wary of someone.

Scenes breakdown:

Now, their first scene together hits with a banger right away, them sharing an inside joke.

Six months into their (unlabeled?) relationship, Doug is shown to still be insecure about being with her. Actually, about HER being with him. Again, Evie is royal (whether Audrey likes it or not), she is ambitious, hardworking and will go places. And he’s, well…

Doug.

He’s telling her that through her hard work and dedication to her craft, she could be getting everything she had always wanted after all without needing a prince or marrying into it as she was bred and conditioned by her mother to do. That she can get there on her own and she doesn’t need to be a trophy wife. Also, offhandedly telling her that he will help her get there, that they could get there together.

And her tender, reassuring reply is that she doesn’t need a prince because she has him. Like, come on, that’s all the vindication anyone would ever need.

I mean, I would love for someone, anyone, to look at me the way Evie looks at him at that moment. Like, boy, you got nothing to worry about, not one thing. Just look at her face, please.

Honestly, in less than thirty seconds, their relationship progressed more than Mal’s and Ben’s relationship did in that entire movie. I mean they had a conflict and they solved it in half a minute while Mal spent the entire movie erasing everything good about her already-established character. Ben deserves better.

So, moving on.

The next development in their relationship arc comes in a scene with no Evie whatsoever. Doug encounters Jay and Carlos and asks if they had seen Evie. Let’s break this one down, yeah?

Doug is shown to be insecure about being the lesser of the two in his relationship with Evie and believes she deserves better. He is not the most confident individual, directly in contrast with Evie, who has this ridiculously confident aura around her.

And Jay and Carlos lying to him about Evie’s whereabouts couldn’t have helped. Especially because I believe at that point, Doug had become friends with Jay and Carlos to some degree. He wasn’t only questioning his relationship with Evie, but his friendship with Jay, Carlos and by association, possibly, Mal.

So, anyway, the crew got King Care Bear back and they arrive to Auradon prep the next morning. And Doug shows up, bowtie gone, disheveled and sleep-deprived to question whether Evie was seeing someone else or not.

He was in panic over this, and she replies earnestly that she wasn’t, in fact, seeing someone else and she was on the isle with the crew saving Ben. And kind of calls him stupid for ever thinking that.

And Doug doesn’t even care about the whole Ben thing. which I find awfully hilarious.

To sum up:

Slow progress aside, Doug believed in Evie’s business, creativity and ability to be financially stable enough to buy her own castle before it even crossed her own mind. Just because he knew it was something she always wanted. He supported her wholeheartedly, to the point where he was okay working with her, handling finances and deliveries. And probably investing as well.

The movie did go over Doug’s very obvious insecurities when it comes to his relationship with her. Made it obvious that he was flawed, normal and human, more so than any of the other characters. He gets jealous because he sees himself as the less in the relationship and his reaction is justified, to be honest.

I mean, this is Evie we’re talking about. One doesn’t just LET Evie go, that’s stupid. You don’t lose people like her. No one deserves Evie, she’s too good for all of them. But it’s not about deserving.

I believe they were already in love at this point (such a healthy relationship, too), but reached a mutual mental (or off-screen, really) decision to buckle down, take things slow and see where things go. This is because of who they are and how they came to be, not because of anything else. Actual brain cells, here.

And not everyone is Mal and Ben. Nothing against them, but they are under pressure, with their relationship being public and all. There’s always a sense of urgency with those two.

And with these gifs I rest my case:

Off topic, but please!!

Has anyone noticed that, aside from being a movie musical, Did I Mention and Be Our Guest are the only canon-confirmed numbers? Be Our Guest was performed for family day as some form of (cringe) entertainment.

BUT Did I Mention is the only one that was deadass performed into a legit microphone? And then rearranged for the proposal. Am I the only one seeing Ben rushing out from the dressing room before the game to find Doug to ask him if he could have the band play it after the game? And then a year later gathering everyone else, letting them know he was proposing and then being all like; “Doug, I need you.”

Doug is Ben’s wing man, and that is that.

Pugsley crushing on Wednesday’s ‘relatively normal’ friend would include~

(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)

- Everyone and their mother could tell you that the Addams family was odd, though as odd as they were, no one could deny that they were also; in their own special way, supportive and welcoming.

- Which is why when Wednesday came home from school and said “I made a …friend”, the family happily allowed her to invite the child over for a play date.

- And when Wednesday arrived home the next day with a; seemingly, perfectly normal child in tow, Gomez and Morticia were surprised yet …perfectly accepting.

- So while they certainly hadn’t expected it to happen anytime soon, the Addams family found themselves rather fond of a less than strange little girl.

- Though there’s one Addams that’s especially fond of the girl: Pugsley.

- Pugsley and his sister are usually fairly inseparable, so when the two of you met, he met you as well. And when you started hanging out with the girl, you found yourself hanging out with him too.

- To preface his crush on you: there has to be something “wrong” with you. If there wasn’t, Wednesday probably wouldn’t hang out with you and you wouldn’t hang out with her either.

- So whether it’s a secret love of the macabre, knowledge in dark or somewhat disturbing fields, or just an unyielding acceptance of or fondness for their strange quirks; there’s something about you that isn’t normal.

- And that’s what initially draws the boy towards you. He doesn’t necessarily like your normal-ness but he appreciates the hidden weirdness. …And he thinks you’re sorta pretty.

- He definitely tries to be around you as much as possible which isn’t particularly suspicious given the fact that you’re most likely; at least, somewhat friends.

- He lingers by the door of whatever room you and Wednesday are playing in until Wednesday stops pointedly glaring at him and allows him to be your victim.

- Speaking of Wednesday: she immediately knows what’s happening and is exasperated by his feelings for you. She oftentimes tells him that it’s gross and, once you leave, warns him to stop constantly snooping on the two of you; which surprises him since he didn’t think either of you knew. She also teases him about it because she finds his weakness amusing.

- Whenever he asks about you or the next time you’re coming over, she’ll narrow her eyes at him and spitefully say something like “wouldn’t you like to know”. He then follows her around and tries to convince her to tell him, usually agreeing to let her torture him in some way in return.

- Gomez and Morticia, on the other hand, find it wonderful. Their little Pugsley in love, what could possibly be better than that? Both of them give him little pieces of advice and fawn over each other after he runs off, talking about young love and heartbreak as they embrace.

- Him and his family lowkey hate color; particularly pastels, but he’ll lie and say that you look nice when you’re wearing them: and after a while of getting used to them, he finds himself thinking that you genuinely look nice in them; though he’d still prefer you in black.

- You do get a ton of compliments in general though. Like father, like son.

- Gifts. The Addams have a lot of money and while the gifts might be unusual or morbid; like a teddy bear that has a proclivity towards biting or a cursed dagger that’s more than a century old, you enjoy them nonetheless.

- Him and Wednesday are ready to throw down anytime someone badmouths you. It’s oftentimes almost like a competition for the two of them: who can scar them the most; the best friend or the infatuated one?

- Every time you defend him and the family from some bully, his heart races and he finds himself speechless; unable to think of anything to say out of shock and an overwhelming wave of appreciation.

- He acts the same when you drop a morbid fact into conversation or launch into an explanation of some sort of dark concept; though he does tend to give you an impressed look and a compliment after you finish.

- He tries to impress you with weird things: like strange creatures, torture devices or his ability to be electrocuted and remain perfectly fine afterwards.

- He loves whenever you grab onto him when Wednesday or the two of them show you something spooky or when you’re walking through a scary area. He always has this cute little smile on his face when you aren’t looking.

- You like to introduce him; and Wednesday, to your more normal interests; mainly him because he’s usually the more willing one. He never particularly likes them nor does he understand why you would but he stores away what you tell him for future use.

- Surprisingly enough, he might try to act or dress more normal in an attempt to win you over, and everyone in the family nearly faints when they see him in the morning before school. They definitely ask if he’s feeling alright, as though him wearing colors is a sign that he’s ill.

- He asks Wednesdays permission to ask you out because he knows his sister will maim him if he just goes and does it and she finds out after the fact. And while being maimed sounds fun, he’d rather take you out on a date first.

- Wednesday sighs and rolls her eyes but tells him to go ahead and he runs off to go and find you as she shakes her head at him.
