@your-ne1ghbor I feel like your the biggest Star/Asha defender in Wish Granted 😂
I really wanted to show why Star was THAT happy to come to Earth, and I guess I had to make everyone cry to do it! I apologize for your next therapy bill. 😅
Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶: How Star Came to Earth 🌍 (Bonus Story)
(This story starts years before the events of the story, and leads up to "This Wish")
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
In this special space of Earth's atmosphere called "The Startosphere" ,its located in a cosmic space between the the mesosphere and thermosphere. In this space, millions of stars travel across the galaxy as nomads. They go around seeing different nebula formations, constellations and other wonders of the universe!
All of the star people have cosmic power, but its never been used to the extent of actually permanently changing their own form, let alone turning into animals or a human.
That is, until one young Star saw the Earth.
Humans and animals fascinated him even when he was just a plushie shaped star. He loved how everyone seem to know each other, had exotic creatures in their everyday lives, and eating things like, what were those things called? Oh yeah, food. Food looked good.
And the humans! He loved the humans so much, our Star slowly changed his outward appearance to look just like to them.
Tumblr media
Now, our Star was quite different amongst his family and species. As the Star nomads live together and slowly start to drift apart, they learn to live independently from one another. So independently that they're accustomed to traveling alone for decades, there's no need to make friends or even mate often because there's nearly endless stars in the sky.
Our Star did not like to be alone. He loved to make friends and loved his family, but his big happy family did not last forever.
Our Star had a mother, a father and five brothers. His parents were a bit quieter than their children, and the children themselves enjoyed being loud and playing with each other. They could get a little rough, but always managed to have fun. His mother and father did have their hands full, especially when our Star liked to zoom around the moon trying trick them into playing an extra game.
Star had no name, and neither did his two younger brothers. But his older brothers gained the names of Orion and Draco. They started off being together as one group, but as time went on and two of then reached departure age, they became distant from their siblings. When the time came for them to leave at 15 years. Tears were not shed. They would miss their family, but not enough to leave a lingering attachment. As years pass for the star nomads, the memories of friends, mates or family, will fade as they naturally adjust to being alone.
When Our Star reached his departure age, he held onto his memories like a vice. Not wanting to forget the love he had for them. There were days he missed his younger brothers to who always asked for him play a game of tag. Days he missed his mother's calm voice when she sang to calm them down. Days he even missed his stubborn father's well meaning lectures on not getting his head in the clouds.
Tumblr media
As our Star traveled, he met lots of unique nomads, all with their own personalities, likes and dislikes. One thing he always wanted to learn about with them was Earth. The nomads had seen Earth dozens of times, and grew a bit bored. They preferred to see planets and nebula outside of the Earth's system.
But our Star couldn't do that. The more he watched Earth and humans, the more he wanted to go there. He just didn't know how.
Star traveled with other nomads, hoping that one of them would be a traveling companion. But it seemed that they would only stick around for a week at most, and then decide to leave. It would be days before he saw one or more nomads at a time.
Star did try to stick with them to other places, but the longer he was around them, the more the other nomads started to get annoyed. He was still a young one, and perhaps he needs to get used to being alone to mellow himself out. It was simply a phase he needed to pass.
But each year he got older, Star still talked about Earth. Like, nearly 24/7. Every nomad he encountered had already seen Earth, but never wanted to talk about it to this extent. Star already knew just about everything having to do with space, and he always saw nearly the sane thing everyday. Earth was always changing, something new happened each day and was full of surprises.
Star attempts for friendship started to backfire, so eventually the other stars were honest to him. He was told many reasons they refused to travel with him:
"You're way too obsessed with Earth."
"The universe is infinite, why bother with one tiny planet?"
"Can you stop talking for five minutes?"
"You know you don't have to hug everyone you meet?"
"Its not working out, you're just...too much to handle."
"I think its better if we travel apart."
It took Star a very long time to process. At one point he traveled with a female nomad named Astra, whom he thought maybe would be different because she enjoyed Earth a lot too. However, after a week traveling together, she challenged him to a race around Earth's moon. Star won the race, and waited hours, but he never saw Nova again.
Now he understood. He was the problem.
Tumblr media
So years passed, he traveled but spoke less and less each year. Knowing that anyone he traveled with would leave him. It hurt, but he didn't say anything. He could feel his own glow dimming as his joy was fading.
After he turned 18, he finally came across a group of stars gathered near Earth, discussing the activity of the humans. Feeling a spark of hope, he flew to join them. Perhaps he could get advice on a name for himself! But once he arrived...

It was the same. Star was infamous for his non stop chatter and pestering about Earth, so now most stars learned to stay away from him.
Star could feel his heart sink (If he had one). He finally decided to give up finding a friend, let alone a mate.
So Star sat on a small nebulae in front of a good area of Earth, and watch the people go by. He longed to be down there, surrounded by friends. But there's no way he could ever get there on his own. He was stuck in space, alone.
Star laid down on the cloud, closed his eyes and patiently waited. Waited for the supernova to activate. It would be quite a long time, as stars live for billions of years, but he could wait.
Everything was quite. Until...
🎶So I look up at the stars to guide me🎶
Star's eyes popped open. He sat up and look around.
🎶And I'm throwing all caution to the side🎶
"Hey, is one of you guys singing right now?" He asked a few nomads passing by. The two that heard him shook their heads.
🎶If knowing what we could be is what drives me 🎶
🎶Then let me be the first to stand and shout!🎶
Star stood up and looked at the Earth, now realizing it was a woman's voice. It was such a beautiful voice... He could feel it changing something in him as he looked at a shining light coming from the Iberian Peninsula. The song was pulling him in as he heard the voice continue.
🎶So I make this wish, to have something more for us than this!🎶
🎶So I make this wish, to have something more for us than this!🎶
Star's eyes lit up and a goofy smile stretched across his face. His yellow glow returned as he felt his joy return to his body as he heard the voice gradually get louder.
"She's calling me... SHE'S CALLING ME!" Star shouted as he nearly fell off the could. He ended up doing back flips out of excitement.
"What are you on about?" Asked an older male nomad.
Star zipped over to him. "You hear that? Don't you?"
🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah🎶
🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah🎶
🎶More than this, oh, whoa, whoa, ah🎶
The nomad rolled his eyes. "Humans sing all the time for various reasons. Sometimes a bit too much."
"But she's singing to me! Out of all the stars in this universe, she's calling me!" Star could barely contain his excitement, he didn't even realize the nomad was slowly back away from him.
Star listens once more to the song:
🎶I always knew I needed freedom to go,🎶
🎶But, I did what I was told when someone told me, "No!"🎶
🎶Now I've got all of this desire in my heart🎶
🎶And I just can't keep the lid on, but I don't know where to start!🎶
"OHMYGOSH, she's feels how I feel! This is insane, we both want the same thing!" Star paced on the cloud as his mind was racing as his glow began to flicker in unison with her singing. The nomad quietly flew away, hoping that the insane sounding Star didn't notice him.
🎶Cause we've been here generations and generations,🎶
🎶Oh, where should I even begin?🎶
🎶I'm done keeping my thoughts in🎶
🎶No, I won't stop, no, I'm already rushing in!🎶
Star gasped. "Okay, okay, calm down. She clearly needs my help, but how do I get down there?" He rubbed his knuckle on his forehead. "Think! Think! Think!"
He opened his eyes and saw a small glowing trail that seemed to lead to the very shining spot he was looking at. He looked down at his own hands, and an idea finally arrived.
🎶If I could just be free of this feeling of suspension,🎶
🎶Oh, where do I go and what do I do?🎶
🎶My heart is breaking, but my head's held high,🎶
🎶The way you always taught me to🎶
"Don't you worry, I'm on way there, just hang on!" He told the voice. The joyous Star closed his eyes and focused all his power on the song. The light in the center of his chest began to shine, his glow grew brighter and brighter as the other nomads began to notice.
🎶So I look up at the stars to guide me🎶
🎶And I'm taking this as a sign🎶
🎶I'm sure there will be challenges that find me🎶
🎶But I can take them on one at a time🎶
Star's flickering was fluctuating rapidly as it kept in sync with her singing. He took a took a running stance on the cloud and his power built up more and more, until he was filled to the brim with magic.
"What is that guy doing?!" One of the nearby nomads asked.
Star's eyes opened wide, as they burned a bright yellow. "HERE I COME!"
🎶So I make this wish🎶
With all his might and his heart focused on the beautiful voice, Star rocketed himself towards the Earth, leaving a shockwave of light and stardust behind and causing the other nomads to be blown backwards. The stars were rattling due to the aftershock.
🎶To have something more for us than this🎶
🎶So I make this wish🎶
🎶To have something more for us than this!🎶
Star took off at such an incredible speed, he looked like a comet coming to Earth. He was so full of excitement to finally come to his favorite planet, he laughed on his way down.
🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (so I make this wish) 🎶
🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah (to have something more) 🎶
🎶More than this, oh, whoa, whoa, ah🎶
The bright star was rapidly approaching Earth's atmosphere, and eventually entering the Iberian Peninsula. He was going so fast he barely had time to take in the surroundings as the music swelled up.
🎶So I make this wish 🎶
🎶To have something more for us than this!🎶
Asha slowly opens her eyes once she finishes and notices one of the stars seems to be flickering rather quickly. It wasn't doing that before. At first Asha wasn't really going to pay it any mind, but then it started to get brighter. And brighter. And brigther. It got so bright that she had to shield her eyes from the light.
Tumblr media
The animals near her feet scrambled away, except for Valentino who beleted and hid behind her legs. Asha could barely see, but she swore she could hear... laughing? She tries to look back at the sky, only to see something hurtling STRAIGHT TOWARDS HER.
"What the he-" (her eyes widened) VALENTINO, RUN!" Asha exclaimed as she and the goat tried to run down from the tree. The laughing was growing louder and louder. Seeing that it was pointless, she grabbed her little friend and the two hit the ground together. Just in time too, because that ball of light wooshed right over their heads and down the hill, still laughing along the way.
Star realized he passed by the singing woman way too quickly, and he forgot to account for one thing. "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP!"
Both of them looked up and saw the bright light going down the hill, the glowing ball flying through the air until–
"Ow!"
Thump!
"Ow!"
Thump!
"Ack!"
Crack!
"Oof!"
*Cat screeches*
"Sorry! AAAAAHHH–"
BOOM! 🌠
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
FINAL THOUGHTS
So, how we feeling? 😅
I've been meaning to write this one for a while, as providing extra backstory and lore to "Wish Granted". A lot of readers were curious on what Star's life was like before coming to Earth, since the main story has only been dropping small hints. Towards the end, Star will tell Asha why he doesn't want to go back to space, giving her more understanding of why he's been so determined to stay on Earth. Its also why he loves that there are other Starboys and Stargirls to hang with, he's not alone anymore!
This is probably the saddest story I've written, but I wanted it to have a good outcome, and show what it was like for Star during "This Wish". This is actually the scenario I pictured for the actual film, where Star came to Earth because of Asha's passion and desire to help was so strong, it literally reached the stars! But according to the director, it was star dust. Good lord...
Plus I've seen stories where Starboy comes to Earth and feels homesick, likes Earth but chooses to go home, or they get forced back home. Most of the time they really love being in space. I wanted to play with the idea of a star who hated being in space in the first place and wanted to come to Earth.
It also ties into my upcoming teaser poster for the story where the tagline is "She called. He answered." So I'm glad that actually has a pay off.
The main story will continue later on, just want to finish my outline. And more people are returning of their studies, so I'm real excited to talk to the other writers again! 😁
Thanks for reading!

Did Tad suffer any violence from Bill after their dimension was destroyed? Especially when Strange came to our dimension
That’s funny because I actually got that written down and you made me draw all of this in one sitting (I will explode now)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And thus, I’ve given you all the setup for the comic I’m working on. It ties directly to this. This is where the Shapes and Pines AU really starts! This was fun! I’m tired! Hahaaaaa I really like Tad
FYI: Tad was Bills babysitter for years, he saw him like a little cousin or bother. They are not related by blood but they shared a family like bond.
Edit: He's free!

So question if the MC met the ROs in their time- how much different would their romances be? Would they stay the same or would some of them be faster or slower?
You mean, like, when they were human in their original time?
Well, Adam/Ava certainly would have gone straight into it with the MC! They wouldn't have let such powerful instantaneous feelings pass by without trying, that's for sure!
My my, how things have changed for A...
-
Nate/Nat...not too much would be different. N was always pretty dashing, even with being a bit more sickly back then. Though they wouldn't have to put up such masks at times...
-
Felix/Farah, again, not too different. F is very much how they've always been. Except they held more secrets back then. Secrets and lies are a serious no-go for them now!
-
Mason/Morgan would have been just as forward but a lot more...naïve about things. But more open to trying things and being out there. Wanting to do/experience life things together in a way they are very much against now.
-
Hope that all made sense! Was trying to answer while being vague so as to avoid any spoilers, hehe! :D
Thank you so much for the ask! :)

How to Write an IMPACTFUL Backstory
Honestly, writing and reading about backstories is probably one of my favorite parts of a character's story! It's a strong foundation for a character's goals, motives, thoughts, and actions! Its most powerful effect, on the other hand, is its ability to change one's view on a character. So, then, how do we write such an impactful past?
For beginners, the more tragic the backstory, the better. While this does hold some truth, let me re-iterate that it's for beginners. The idea behind it is that a pure, devastatingly pitiful backstory is unique and pulls at your reader's heartstrings. Unfortunately, instead, we're left with an origin story that feels superficial, overly-dramatic, unnecessary, and shallow. However in this post, I will give you some tips on how to avoid creating such 2D backgrounds and actually bring your character's past to life!
First, your character's backstory can be made with whatever components you choose, but the key is that you must balance them out correctly. Additionally, the majority of the time, you do want their story to stick out, so I suggest trying to come up with something original! It's much harder than it sounds, but honestly, every other protagonist has dead parents at this point. Be creative, add details, and don't be afraid to let your character go through things if you feel that it's fitting!
Second, don't extend their past for too long. The point of introducing the backstory is to elaborate on a (few) certain event(s) that affected your character the most and forever changed their lives. Keep it centered around one, or at most, a couple events.
Next, most writers tend to use sadness and/or to fuel the character, but it should not be overbearing and excessive. Alternatively, it should feel GENUINE. Not dramatic, but genuine. Different genres do form different types of backstories, yes, but the core concept behind it should be something natural. It should be something that your readers will be able to understand; something authentic. They should feel some sense of relatability, even if it's just a little. This could be like family issues, broken friendships, betrayals, leaving someone, mental struggles, loneliness, etc. Complexity can surround these concepts, but the basic, fundamental ideas should still be present.
Furthermore, be sure that their backstory makes sense. Even if you're introducing it through quick, brief flashbacks, ultimately, you want the reader to have all the pieces to solve the puzzle.
Last but not least, make your backstory feel personal to your character! Build it in a sense that if it were to go to any other character, it wouldn't have an effect that's as severe. Make it targeted to its owner. While this is something that can be difficult to execute, it really provides insight to your character, and is an easy way to add some intricacy to a simple backstory! A good place to start is thinking about the things personal to your character. For instance, this could be their past before the event, people they care about, their morals, etc. Then, add it in said event so that it pushes and/or challenges your character in a way that makes them re-evaluate that value.
There you go! Here are my personal tips on how to upgrade your character's backstory and have it really impact your reader! Be creative, keep it centered around a couple things, make it genuine, and make it targeted to the character!
Happy writing~
3hks <3
