Language Headcannons

All the VKs speak multiple languages due to the fact that the Isle is a cultural melting pot, because even villains care about their culture. Most people speak 3-4 languages fluently, it is one of the advantages the VKs have over the AKs.

Everyone knows at least 2 languages fluently.

Everyone knows random words and phrases from languages they don't speak.

The most common languages are English, French, Chinese, German and Arabic

The least common are Faire Speak, Latin, Greek and Atlantican due to the lack of speakers on the Isle.

The Pirates know the most languages out of everyone because their parents wanted them to be able to travel anywhere. They also know Atlantican, Greek, Latin and Faire Speak because Uma, her cousins/siblings and the Hook Siblings taught them.

Freddie and Celia speak French and Creole

Most VK’s just speak their parent’s language as a first language

Education

There are three schools on the isle, Dragon Hall, Serpent Prep and Crow Academy (Witch School). However, there is a lack of education on the Isle, classes focus on how to be evil instead of things like English, Math and Science. This means that most people can only do basic math and reading. Even children whose parents do know how to do math or read properly aren't likely to teach their kids that, as they will prioritize survival skills.

Books are rare on the Isle, those that come on the barges are either to damaged to read or are taken to Dr Facilier's Library. Having books is a sign of power.

Originally Dragon Hall was the only school but as more children were born Serpent Prep and Crow Academy were opened. Not all children attend school some are homeschooled, and some simply don't go to school at all. If you attend school you are expected to turn up late, and not partake in lessons.

By the time children are 9-10 they are expected to be in some manner of employment by or for their families, the age children are put to work varies between households, by the time they are teenagers they are given harder more demanding jobs or are made to do the backbreaking physical labor that the adults don't want to do.

It isn't required to go to school, but there isn't actually that much to do so the kids go anyway to learn about scheming, fighting and general wickedness. Detention and punishments are given out for things like helping someone pick up their books etc.

Skipping class happens often though the teachers don't make it easy for the kids, Bill Sykes has provided the school with several vicious dogs around campus. Fighting happens often and is encouraged by the teachers as way of solving arguments. There is also a lot of gang activity that happens, properly more so than anywhere else.

Places on the Isle

Got any hc for Tiger Lily x Lampwick in your au?

A few, I think they met after Tiger Lily came to Auradon with Peter Pan when Beast was trying to join all the kingdoms and lands together, they became friends, they started dating when they were 16. Alexander in their oldest child and he wasn't planned, they were 21-22 when Tiger Lily got pregnant, about four years later they had, Tiger Peony. When they got married, they had both the kids as parts in the ceremony. I imagine that they'd be the cool young parents, who everyone got along with. Tiger Lily is a fashion designer, and Lampwick owns a restaurant.

Food and Drink

The food on the Isle is mainly leftovers from Auradon. There is also a small supply of fish which is the only fresh food you can get on the Isle. The lack of sun and general quality of the Isle stops most things from growing and the little area of the Isle that can grow something is controlled by the Hearts. Residents rely on Auradon entirely for food, this means that all the food they do get is best it's best or barly edible.

The food is sent on the barges and mixed up between all the other trash on them. Things like stale bread and moldy fruit, stuff that Auradon doesn't want. The other option is eating rats or seagulls of which there is plenty around the Island.

Due to the large population and the fact that to food they are sent isn't always edible, people often go hungry.

Choice of drinks is also limited, there is one freshwater spring in the small hills by the Animal Quarter. Coffee can be made from old beans and filters, there is very little milk on the Isle it is mostly black coffee. They reuse teabags to make tea, and people will squash inedible fruit to flavor the water, plants are also blended in drinks to try and make smoothies.

Alcohol is the other option when it comes to drinks. Residents use fermenting fruits to make their own alcohol. While it isn't very good it is very strong. People on the Isle brew very potent alcohol. There isn't any drinking age so many kids and teens drink. Most of the older kids have been drinking awhile because they didn't have anyone telling them not to, but they try to stop their younger siblings from also becoming alcoholics.

Overall food on the Isle is bad and not for the weak stomach. Food is either cooked in restaurants or open fires in the streets, most things that are sent over has already been cooked or can be eaten raw so very few people have stoves in their houses. There are very few stoves on the Isle and the few that are there are reserved for the shops that's jobs are to feed the Isle residents.

hey were u aware that theres a 3rd kid in Pinocchio 1940 named Alexander? i just found it funny that Lampwick named his own son after him in ur au!

No actually, I just thought the name sounded good.
