Watching Wish now for the first time for real and, buddy, it's a ROUGH start. I'm 12 minutes in and the writing is already falling apart in the very beginning and it's so unfortunate because there are alot of great elements in this movie that get unnecessarily dragged down by a million other things

From unsuitable character introduction scenes, exposition that weakens /nukes the story (like explicitly mentioning right from the get go that Magnifico LEARNED magic through hard work, meaning every citizen could do the same if they wanted and left the kingdom to do so. But this is entirely ignored bc it doesn't fit Asha's argument later on), and even little things like the writers not understanding WHY the dwarf characters Grumpy and Dopey worked in Snow White the first place

This is gonna be a difficult watch. There is such a great story in this, but good goooooooosh......

Quick edit:

Gosh, both Asha and Magnifico deserved a better plot. They're both formed by their past traumas and that should have been utilized MUCH better.

Are you on that Starboy crap?

I’m going to assume that you don’t like Starboy. If you do actually like him, then I don’t detect it anywhere here. It’s things like these that make me backoff from sharing stuff about Starboy, because in truth I like the idea of it. But ultimately, I can’t please everyone so whatever.

Firstly, I’d like to address in defense of those who love Starboy and as said from Star’s section in the concept book, the first phase was a series of Star in various human forms. Star’s young Sabino form is the THIRD phase. So don’t try to use the excuse of ‘Starboy being Sabino’. Read, please. Respectfully.

Anyways, if you haven’t already figured it out, I like to look at different routes. I can’t stick to just one, so I make multiple routes with multiple scenarios and storylines and characterizations. So I guess this is a good time to address both my opinion on Starboy and my ideas for Star in general.

I think Starboy would’ve been an adorable addition. He’s great, the ship between him and Asha is great, and every redesign I’ve seen of him just makes me love him more. I’m aesthetically drawn to characters at this point, which is a reason I like designing. The only thing that I question about Starboy is his own story. I don’t typically like the idea of him being *the* wishing star, but rather an extension or ‘child’ of the Blue Fairy. Him being childish and curious would be supported by that idea, because you can’t really rely on a higher power if that higher power is reliant on you teaching him about Earth.

So I like the idea of Starboy, but not the story of him being the sole wishing star. He can be childish and curious under the circumstances that the Blue Fairy is highest power/wishing star. I mentioned this in my illustration of the Blue Fairy, so.

Anyways, ideas for Star!

Because I see a lot of people already have the idea of Asha x Starboy in their works (love them all 💖), I decided to think of more paths we could’ve taken with Star in general. You can refer back to the Art of Wish book for all of his forms, but I’ll go into ones that I’m renovating into my own ideas.

• Starchild: I have two ideas for this. A: What if Star was a child? When we were younger, we wished for many things and dreamed of many dreams. Maybe Star could’ve been a child, because of my idea with Star being a ‘child’ of the Blue Fairy, Asha calling down Star right then and there could’ve been the start of his new life. It’s like him being born when he’s sent down to Earth. And it’s a reference to how wishes and wonder can seem childish, but good-intentioned. His magic is almost chaotic-like, so it could add on. Then B: What if Star was a younger version of ASHA? Don’t really know how this would work, but really Star would’ve been a manifestation of Asha’s younger self (typically when she wished for her father to get better). It’s like connecting with your inner child and rekindling your dreams. That’s just a small idea.

• Platonic Star: Could be of any gender, I don’t really care. But what if Star was just platonically involved with Asha? I know Wish was never going to be a romance story, so they could’ve just of had Star be humanoid but have them still be friends. I’m sure someone already has this idea for a rewrite somewhere.

• Sole Star: An idea where Star *is* the wishing star but is mature and an adult and with no specific gender. Maybe a little feminine to act as Asha’s maternal figure? If I wouldn’t go with this idea, then I’d have had the Blue Fairy be Asha’s maternal figure. Sorry, Sakina (I should make a rant post about Sakina and Sabino 💀🙏🏽 I kinda got beef with them).

I’m okay with Star being the thing we got officially, but come on. They could’ve added more to the character. Like depth? Clarification about what exactly it is? A star sure, but what else? The one star song didn’t answer any of Asha’s questions nor ours. Was it just born when Asha wished upon it because she’s the first one to do so? Sighing. Disney.

Favorite Star concepts:

Least favorite…:

What a jumpscare.

Despite the possible dislike of Starboy, thank you for the ask. 💖

#i have to finish reading this but in the meantime i just wanna say that i would've loved a literal star crossed love story with starboy #with starboy (like op said) not as the sole wishing star (blue fairy exists)

wish fans assemble! I have a poll for u

I'm very curious

A wish crossover au where Magnifico is the slave in the magic mirror but with a twist. See the evil queen forbade Snow from talking to the mirror for fear of Snow using his power against her. But Snow talked to him anyway. He was like a secret friend to her and he started to feel the same way. But alas, rags can not hide her gentle grace and Snow becomes more fairer than the queen. But there’s a twist.

Somehow, after telling the queen about Snow’s beauty, the mirror breaks and Magnifico escapes. He has become good friends with Snow and wants to protect her from her stepmother. The story diverges from there, with Magnifico becoming a father figure to Snow.

A few things:

Magnifico doesn’t want Snow to find out how he got in the mirror. He will go under the fake name “M” which he says stands for “Mirror” (but actually stands for “Magnifico”)

Snow has heard about the kingdom of Rosas. But only as a kingdom that has long been in ruins that was once threatened by a “evil monster wrapped in green”. She doesn’t know that’s M

When asked something, M will automatically know the uncut truth about it. In fact he can’t lie no matter what. He can twist it a little but it has to be true.

M has no emotion. Having been in the mirror for years and years, he has been broken down by both magic and slavery. He can show some emotion but for the most part he acts stoic

M has glass eyes like Lapis from Steven Universe. Cracks are around his face, giving him a broken look.

M will go John Wick on anyone who dares hurt Snow. He still has his magic and won’t be afraid to use it.

Finally watching wish and i have to say, magnifico is such a genuinely interesting character and villain???

He's rly fun to watch, his witty remarks and overall demeanour remind me a lot of Hades, who's one of my fave disney characters of all time. I also think his backstory and motivations are fascinating

Mal & Audrey (Dragon AU)

Thinking about my dragon girls :)

Mal can breathe plumes of green fire, hypnotize enemies with her magic, and use her brute strength to destroy anything in her way. She’s quite large for a dragon, with a massive wingspan and a scaly hide that is hard to penetrate with manmade weapons like swords and arrows. She is nocturnal as a dragon, can see in the dark, and hunts large game like deer.

Audrey isn’t as big as Mal, but is wicked fast in the air with pale scales that reflect light and camouflage her from below. She has front paws with thumbs that can be used to grab and use tools, as well as a thin tail that can be used in a similar way. She can’t breathe fire, but billows a deadly pink smoke that can put victims to sleep in a matter of seconds. It can also be ignited to create trails of destructive inferno, either by another dragon’s fire or by human error. As a dragon she’s also nocturnal, but is a pescatarian, choosing to hunt fish.

Both Mal and Audrey can change into their dragon forms at will, but only Mal has the ability to fully return to being human (she can pick and choose which traits to keep, or hide them altogether). Audrey cannot change back fully, remaining human with dragon traits like horns, tail, fangs, and wings.
