"Okay, so in my world, when the US was unified, King Beast took all the villains and put them on the Isle of the Lost and sealed them in there so they couldn't do magic, and then they had kids, and that's where I'm from. Pretty recently he abdicated in favor of his son, and King Ben decided he was going to let villain kids onto the mainland so we could have a chance to escape their parents, which is why I now go to prep school with a bunch of celebrities."

"--Okay, so, America doesn't have a king, or magic, and I don't think we call anyone villains..."

"...maybe I do need to back up more, then — my history classes all kind of sucked, sorry — the United States of Auradon was unified about five years before I was born, by King Beast; all the member-states were at least allegedly willing to sign on to this but according to Chen this is not as true as most Auradonians prefer to believe. They put all the evil fairies in anti-magic fields and sent all the evil people — or, well, ""all the evil people"" — to the Isle, which is a little island off the coast, and then they locked us in and put up a force field and didn't send us anything to eat but garbage until King Ben decided to let the kids out four at a time. I have never personally done magic but apparently it works with rhyming couplets, which do have to rhyme but do not have to make sense and therefore are usually really stupid."

"I think you're from a planet with a different history, like Levva, and not an alternate Earth."

Permalink

"That's probably true. What is a fundamentalist Christian?" 

Permalink

"It's a religion-- do you have religions-- that believes that God wants women to stay at home and have lots of babies and that being gay or trans is wrong and that you should only date one person at a time and only have sex with one person ever in your whole life."

Permalink

Now this is a concept he's familiar with. "Oh, so like good people. — we do have religions, yes, there's Catholicism and Judaism and I don't actually know if worshiping Zeus counts given that he's real." 

Permalink

"We also have Catholicism and Judaism-- this world's Sasha and I are both Jewish-- and people used to worship Zeus but he was not at any point real."

Permalink

"Huh. Weird." 

Permalink

"I assume that you think that good people are terrible because they locked you up on an island and think you shouldn't be gay or poly."

Permalink

"Some of them don't suck! Chen and Kaleva and Ben are excellent. Also what is poly." 

Permalink

"Poly is where you date more than one person."

Permalink

"I guess Chen and Asher call it dating and they know the words Auradonians use for their relationships better than I do, so." 

Permalink

"What do you call it?"

Permalink

"We're a gang! It's sort of ambiguous who's leading and we keep it that way because having it look like I'm under Chen's protection keeps everyone safer, and they don't really realize they have gangs in Auradon and also we have to hide that we aren't just friends so we don't call it that out loud, but that's definitely the thing we're doing." 

Permalink

"We have gangs here but they're, like, groups of teenagers or people in their early twenties who get together and do crimes and it is not easily mistakeable for dating."

Permalink

"Huh. — when I say gangs I mean, like, Jay and Evie and Carlos do what Mal says and bring food and Mal distributes the food, and in return if anyone tries to pick on Carlos Mal beats them up, and also they have sex." 

Permalink

"That seems like the kind of thing that would evolve out of our gangs if you put a bunch of people on Prison Island."

Permalink

"That makes sense!" He already really likes Lev. 

Permalink

"On this planet, though, if you go around talking about how bad goodness is, people will think you're talking about it being bad to give money to homeless people or help old ladies cross the street or something. Basically no one you'll meet thinks being gay or poly is wrong."

Permalink

"Awesome!" 

Permalink

"But you don't have religions, people just think being gay is wrong for no reason?"

Permalink

"We have religions but most people aren't religious. Sex is something good people say you're only supposed to do with your true love when you get married, and true love is always straight and between just two people." 

Permalink

"That's kind of weird, I sort of thought secular societies would all become poly and accept queer people. I mean, Noonlight's does and Cascadilev's does in the parts that aren't run by weirdo religious people."

Permalink

"What does my society do? — hey, other me, I'm going by Noonlight."
