Ok, but you haven't rewritten Soy Luna (yet...), so you can't give out any spoilers there! So!
If you would rewrite Soy Luna, what would you change with the individual characters? Like, "I would write this character like this instead".
Now, this is only how I feel in the heat of the moment, and also it might not be all the characters. Just the ones I think about.
Also, edit, this was really hard without talking about how I'd change a bunch of storylines. Cause this would be focused on the characters more, but they'd also change in storylines.
Luna: I think I'd make her more focused on friendship than romance. She already is in the show, but almost everyone in the show is pushing her to date boys all the time. She can't mention a boy without people asking if she has a crush. She'll still have a romantic plot, but it won't really be the same. Oh, and she would not be that disrespectful to Juliana. Of course, she had a right to call her out, but at times she also behaved rather childishly and I was on Juliana's side lol. I would just remove that little thing. Oh, also, she wouldn't compete in 2x80.
Ámbar: In summary, less bratty, more creepy. For example, I think she's still very picky with the food, but instead of screaming it to the chef's faces, she'll just scream it to Sharon. Now, her brattyness does help with showing how she, too, is just a child and there's an immaturity to her that she tries to hide. But I think we can do it in other ways. For example, I think she'd start off with playing pranks on Luna, but then slowly up her way to just being plain creepy. Like to a degree where she puts up an act around EVERYONE, and she almost does not know who she herself is. I don't know if I am good at describing it, but I love exploring Ámbar's inner thoughts and her identity crisis in S2 is one of the most interesting plots of her character. Also, I'd think I'd have her possibly seek out her bio mom too after the reveal.
Sharon: First of all, more scenes with Luna. I think they interacted way too little, especially in S1 and S3. I'd like there to be some moments in S1 where they just exchange a few words, or just have a casual conversation, and they both feel a sense of familiarity. And in S3, especially towards the end of season, I'd like them to TALK. SPEAK OUT. SOLVE THINGS. AUNT AND NIECE. I also think I’d like her to get more ”visions”. Both flashbacks from the past, but also ”what if” scenarios. As she spirals more and more into insanity, she sees Ámbar and Luna sit together talking and suddenly she’s seeing both of them as little kids. Goes into the kitchen, sees Luna and suddenly she’s little Sol eating a cookie. She goes into Ámbar’s room, suddenly she sees little Ámbar asking her to brush her hair. Also, she’s much more a threat in S3, because in S3… she tbh at times were just hanging around and then in like the final 3 episodes she did something.
Simón: Wouldn’t change much, he is perfect 💜 All I would change is possibly not sleeping in the mansion garage, but rather go stay at a Hotel, or go to stay with Nico and Pedro immediately. Oh, and I'd have him react differently around Daniela. They'd still date for drama purposes but... he's never gonna doubt Luna over anything. Also, he won't decide to go back to Mexico the second he sees Luna kiss someone else, he's gonna see it's a non-consentual kiss (I am having trauma from TWO of these shows that no one saw it as non-consentual and I need to fix it). But otherwise he'd be more or less exactly the same <3
Matteo: Gets held accountable for his crimes /hj
Nina: I think I'd first of all not let her forge Gastón's application. She's still gonna stay in S3, but not due to that journalism for roller skating thing, but because she simply wants to finish her final year and then go to university.
Gastón: He does not break up with Nina. They have a long distance relationship and it works perfectly fine. Otherwise I wouldn't change much.
Ramiro: At first I wouldn't change super much, but I would either give some more impact on him joining Adrenaline, or I would remove the Adrenaline plot entirely because I always forget it exists at every time.
Jim: Make her gayer than she already is <3
Yam: Same as above, but also, her probably knowing more than Jim that she is a lesbian, and giving more hints about it. Also I'd give her more screentime just because <3
Eric: I can allow him to be there, but... he's just gonna be there... maybe just keep him for the "helping him to sing" part, as it can be a fun thing for Nina to go from not daring to sing in public herself to teaching someone else to sing in front of an audience.
Ana: I'm thinking her and Mora having this dating arc kinda going on in the background. Kind of a "hint hint" until they suddenly reveal they're dating. Also she's not gonna date Gary at all, because. She's dating Mora all the time.
Mora: Keep her in S3. And have her drop random hints she's sapphic but then not elaborate. Keep being a sapphic mentor to Jim and Yam at least.
Benicio: He's just gonna be here so that I can make him suffer so much
Emilia: She deserves a redemption. Also I may give some more depth to her. And maybe she has an obvious crush on Ámbar that she refuses to admit.
Juliana: She's gonna stay essentially the same, but be slightly less rude in the beginning. I'm gonna also have her also be a bit of a sapphic mentor too, but to everyone in a way ;)
Jazmin: She's gonna be called out for recording people without their consent. Although, it's gonna be a fun plot where her fans think that everyone in her videos are just acting and that it's not actually true.
Delfi: Basically the same as Jazmin. I'm also gonna maybe change her a bit in S1, but I probably need to rewatch S1 to see exactly how lol.
Everyone else I think I won't change that much or I'm not sure how to rewrite them atm.

Rewriting the DCLA endings Part 1: Violetta
There's a common theme with every dcla show I've seen: I didn't really like the ending.
I didn't hate any of the endings, and there's a lot of good there too, but... I really could change a lot about them. First off, we got Violetta.
Also note: This MAY be how I will end it in the rewrite of S3. But, in my rewrite I will also change a lot of other things so things will be different in that, too. In this version, all endgames except for one will still be the canon ones (no matter if I like them or not), while in my rewrite there will be different endgames for several more characters.
So, to change the ending, I'm also gonna change some things in previous episodes for it to make sense.
They are going to Sevilla. I don't want Gery nor Clement there and to have them there just because they "need to", feels so annoying. At the same time, they need to be there for the confrontation of their stupid plan to separate Leonetta. So, what I am thinking: They notice some of the kids have sore throats, and might not be able to sing. So, just in case, they want some understudies. They notice Clement knows all the choreography and songs, so he's picked out to join them. Same with Gery, even if she's just Beto's assistant, because "they need a female understudy too" (off topic but the fact that Gery just. Isn't a student at all and yet gets to participate with them... so wild to me). I don't like them there, but they need to be there, and this is the only way I know how to solve it. The whole thing with Leonetta finding out and then getting back together all stays.
At Sevilla, there is NO ONE who assumes Germán and Angie are married, because WHY would that even happen... what... we're removing the "only one bed" trope. I don't think they even have the same hotel room at all, but I'm not gonna do the whole "Germán sleeps in a closet" thing, because... I just don't think he deserves screentime.
So: While I love Fran and Diego getting lost, there is still the plot hole of where tf they slept at night. So, I am thinking, just to fix that: They took a night bus that they THOUGHT was going back to Sevilla, and fell asleep there. But then, as they woke up, they realized the bus went the wrong direction. And this is when they take the boat back like we see in 3x80. Everything else is the same with them.
Now, here's where things are starting to change for real. Violetta and Leon do not try to set up Germán and Angie. Instead, it was just supposed to be a casual dinner, and then Leonetta decided to have some alone time instead (because Violetta didn't feel like being with her dad). And then Germán couldn't come either. Angie was left there... until someone joins her... Pablo :) We don't see Angie and Pablo eating dinner, we only see him come up and ask if he can join her.
When they visit that school in Sevilla, it does not get revealed Germán went there. I feel like that was just some weird thing they decided to do to show "actually him and Violetta were more similar than she thought!! :)" but it does not make sense for his character. Nope, he did not. What they instead do at the school is focusing on remembering Antonio, and MAYBE we get confirmation that the principal at the Sevilla school is Jackie's dad (and then we can get some update on what Jackie is up to)
Now, the ring scene... it might be there just because it is sweet that Leon buys a ring for Violetta, but it's used to nothing more than that!
Everything in the show in Sevilla is the same. Same songs, same performances. Backstage, Angie and Pablo hang out a bit and Pablo mentions something about not dating Brenda, he's not into her like that. Angie kinda smiles at this.
As mentioned earlier... the ring they bought is just Leon buying a ring for Violetta. Violetta does NOT give it to Germán.
So, what happens after the Sevilla show, if Germán has not propsed?
We cut back to Buenos Aires, some time later. I don't know if it's outside the Benson mansion the mansion they were outside in the canon final scene, or if it's outside the Studio, or on another stage... but the Studio teachers are up on stage, and they make a little speech. It is the graduation day. All the students either are up on stage or are standing on the side, ready to get up (if they went up one and one getting diplomas that would be so cute, as you'd have everyone having different reactions as they look at the audience).
They either sing Crecimos Juntos, Ser Mejor, or possibly a medley of a bunch of different songs. I think, however, whatever they sing, it's more of a slow version of it. If they all stand on stage, they perform it live, but if they just go up one and one, the song is played in the background and then, as everyone has gone up on stage, they start singing live.
Angie and Pablo do not end up dating, but they exchange looks as if to say something is there. In my opinion they should have been dating, but now I only fixed the last episodes and they need some more buildup to date again.
It ends with Violetta winking at the camera, as per usual.
So, in the end, the last episode is pretty similar, but with some minor changes at some places and one MAJOR change for one of the things. Stay tuned for the next post.

wait shoot ignore that last ask i sent whoops. i mean 9 and 10 for your violetta rewrite and 15 and 17 for sunshine and moonshine <3
9. How did you get inspired to write this?
There has been so much of this show that I wished would've gone down differently. Storylines, some plots... some endgames...
Many people love the last episode. They say it's a mostly perfect ending (cause most agree, the wedding was not the best). But I didn't feel much of anything. When I watched 1x80? Cried. When I watched 2x80? Cried (though not as much). When I watched 3x80? Meh.
I was fine with most endgames except germangie, but I just wished it all could have looked differently. So what did I have to do to make it end up in my vision? Well, rewrite the show.
Other reasons I wanted to rewrite the show: - I was curious what would have happened if Angie told the truth right away. Told Violetta the second she met her. How would the story change? - What would happen if Diego did not kissed Violetta against her consent? How would the story change? - I see Leonetta in season 3. I can fix it. I can fix them. - Diecesca will still happen, but it will happen the way I want it to. - Esmeralda and Jade need some good writing. - What would happen if Luca, Braco and Napo, as well as Lara stayed around? - There are some ships I wish would be endgame. And I will make them endgame. - Yes, this is an excuse for me to make everything slightly gayer as well.
10. Did you plan to write something that you ended up not writing later? Why?
Okay, so there's a lot because it happens so many times that I have a plan and spontaneously decide "No! What if this happens instead?"
I was planning on giving some more focus on Violetta's diary and it having sort of a symbolism with how she's feeling, as well as who's the most important person in her life at them moment. She was supposed to change her combination on the diary lock to the letters of someone's name or initials. For example, 12-22 is L-V (Leon Vargas) and 6-18-1 is F-R-A (Francesca, Vilu didn't know her last name at the time so she took her three first letters). I also planned on people reading her diary or reading a page of it when she left it open.
I had this idea after the fact that, when I was a child, I was very fixated on this idea I had where I thought it would be romantic if Leon read Violetta's diary (I was 11 and I was new into shipping and couldn't quite handle it), and I was also very fixated on the time in season 2 when Diego picked up her diary on the floor, read one page and then closed it, and I was so enraged how he could READ SOMEONE'S PRIVATE DIARY!!!!!!!!! (the double standards there huh?)
And while some of this diary stuff is present in the beginning, I simply... didn't care a lot about it anymore to continue. So much else was going on.
15. Favorite character to write for?
Well, Ámbar. In the show I was so obsessed with her home life and her relationship with Sharon, and I make all the excuses ever to write about that. It's so fun to write about her thought process and her reflections and everything!
17. Favorite ship to write for?
Ambilia, hands down. But Jam as well, especially now after last chapter hehe...
It's so funny, because right now it's the hardest to write for Lumón and Simbar, which are both ships that are gonna be present. I want it to make sense and be executed good, and it should be easy because I do love both ships and can write for them usually quite well, but not right now apparently.
