#Evangeline The Princess and the Frog

[cupcake-de-abacaxi]

I have a theory that Star from Wish is actually Evangeline from The Princess and the Frog. Anyone else thought about that? 😅 I also def remember seeing a Princess and the Frog reference in the movie!

(also Ik it was going to be a guy in the concept art and while I love it, I still also love the idea of it being Evangeline)

New home, new life!

Ray and Evangeline waited a whole lifespan to be together and the moment has come! Lina quit the spotlight to pursue a calm, family life and Raymond is now some sort of trophy husband who still adores fishing, but got a haircut.

Part of me thinks of RadioApple whenever Ma Belle Evangeline plays, part of me knows Alastor would not fuckin sing that to Lucifer because he ain't got one romantic bone in his feral body—

But the thought is just too good to pass up😭

✨ New Orleans boy serenading to his beloved star ✨

Alastor at the bayou, facing the sky, hands up in a plead and a prayer, voice soft as he serenades to one single star, his star that he can tell apart from all others by shine alone, as it glows stronger in response to his every word, letting him know he is just as loved.

The Princess and the Frog is peak romance: two incredibly heartwarming love stories for the price of one!

At first, Tiana and Naveen.

A story of two dreamers with so many differences between them, who start at odds, but then learn so much from each other (Tiana by allowing herself to have fun, Naveen by achieving a new sense of responsibility), becoming happier for it. And when they finally reach their goals, it's because they stayed together and supported each other.

And then, Ray and Evangeline.

A story of faith and devotion. A firefly utterly in love with a star sounds ridiculous at first, but it's an infatuation like that, so strong and pure, that inspires others to open themselves to love. Even at the expense of being seen as weird, Ray never once doubts that he'll be able to join the love of his life in the sky, and ultimately, he was proven right.

See that? Peak romance! ❤️

Quick sketch before the movie debuts.

If the Star is the same star all Disney characters are wishing upon, does it mean it’s Evangeline?!

I don’t know when I’m going to watch it… Anyway, I wonder if there’s any reference to it in the movie!

This was so pretty! This is "Ma Belle Evangeline" from The Princess And The Frog as I see it because of synesthesia!

I saw this post and automatically thought of you. They are 100% correct.

Absolutely! You’re correct. Hey, @the-sage-libriomancer , I saw Wish and you’re still correct. The idea of having a star that is a higher power (Evangeline) and then having a character who demonstrates absolute faith in that higher power (Ray) and winds up teaching that same faith to both self-centered-Naveen and self-reliant Tiana? So very Disney.

Sometimes Disney’s Renaissance-era princesses were the Faithful Characters of their own story—Ariel had faith in Eric and taught that same faith to her father, Jasmine (and Genie) had faith in the Truth and taught that faith to Aladdin and the Sultan, etc. And that’s wonderful. Cinderella and Snow White are the Faithful Characters in their own stories, too, so it’s not like that isn’t a Classic Disney idea.

But Princess and the Frog doesn’t do that. It has the princess be the one who needs to learn to have faith. And the prince! That’s much more like dear old Pinocchio. What Jiminy Cricket and Geopetto are to Pinocchio, Ray is to Louis, Naveen, and Tiana. I mean, how wonderful a tribute to Disney, to have the main character be afraid of relying in something higher, valuing love, and trusting only whatever she can accomplish on her own…

…to have her go from that to being willing to give up what she wanted? To value love, plain old love, over career, personal goals, dreams? To change her dream and admit when she was wrong? And finally, to sacrifice herself in order to do what’s right?

Why, that’s Pinocchio. That’s Mr. Banks from Mary Poppins. That’s Alice from Alice in Wonderland. That’s Disney!

Wish 2023 could never.

So I was gonna wait to do the Backstory for the Blue Fairy till Wish came out, since its supposed to be the origin of the Wishing Star and she's so connected to it, but from what I read it's not really going to feature any real references to the Blue Fairy, so I'll just retcon stuff in if I need to when it comes out x)

The Blue Fairy Backstory

Her real name is Evangeline (of course)

She was the daughter of a powerful fairy named Meissa, who was assigned as a member of the Protectors, the guardians of magic in the Everrealm, to guard the portal between Our World and the Everrealm that manifested as the Wishing Star/Second Star to the Right, and when her time came Evangeline took up the guardianship

Over the ages places where the two realms touch have become rarer and rarer and need guardians over them, such as the Fifth Spirit over the portal near Arendelle and Queen Pari Banu of the Genies over the Seven Deserts

Neverland also sits right below this star portal and so falls under the watch of this guardian. This is the reason that Neverland's Blue Pixie Dust is so powerful, its linked into the magical energy of the great Blue Fairy who watches over the Island

Besides her guardianship Evangeline will sometimes take on the duties of normal fairy godmothers, in both realms, bringing blessings and judgments to those deserving of them, in both the Everrealm and Our World, though her duties as Guardian keep her from always intervening directly as much as she used to, such in the case of Pinocchio

Mostly she grants wishes from afar, to those who's pure hearts long most and wish deepest, sometimes even sending down one of the Starlings (star shaped denizens of the star she inhabits) to help fulfill the wish (there, there's the Wish link x)

Edit: I've decided that her father is the great Sorcerer Yen Sid. So she would technically be half Fairy due to him being born human. But by the time her parents met and wed he was so powerful in magic he'd basically transcended his humanity, and that's why she doesn't age/has large wings.

I based Meissa's look on The Fairy With Torquoise Hair from the original Pinocchio book and on old concept art for the Blue Fairy

So yeah! There's her backstory! Hope you like it :)
