#a wish worth making

[cerulean-crow]

They mean so much to me <3

[artist-issues]

Actually, no, I’m just going to talk about Sabino.

I was going to talk about the deleted song “A Wish Worth Keeping,” but suffice to say: that song would not have made the movie better because that song had the same terrible point as the movie: “The power to make your wishes come true is in you, so keep wishing.”

No. Bad. Bad point, therefore bad movie.

The deleted song wouldn’t have saved it. Stop saying “Why This Song Matters” and “The Deleted Song That Could’ve Fixed Wish.” Figure out what was wrong with the movie first. Then you can properly figure out what should and shouldn’t have been cut from the movie.

Now let’s talk about Sabino.

I already said several times that the character is terrible in the actual movie. The idea of him could’ve been good, especially when you’re trying to say something about the concept of wishing, though.

In Wish, he’s an old man who’s tangible wish-trapped-in-a-bubble has never been granted. You’re supposed to feel bad for him; his life has been so long and he’s never gotten what he really wanted. But, even if you accept what the movie is telling you (the main point I referenced up there) he doesn’t do a good job supporting it.

Sabino can’t remember his wish. (Stupid.) So you don’t feel that bad for him. He gave it up when he was eighteen. He’s lived more of his life with no wish to miss than he did with one that didn’t come true. So what if it never comes true? He’ll just keep living as a vaguely cheerful guy with people who love him. He’s never that sad. We don’t care.

Also, when the idea that his wish will never come true is presented to him, he just… accepts it. On the one hand, that’s logical because of what I just said. But on the other hand, what a wasted opportunity to say something about your lousy “keep on wishing” main theme.

He’s 100 Years Old. He could have been the character that watches and waits, no matter how much time passes, and genuinely has faith like Cinderella or Geppetto or Snow White or Ray the Firefly or Ariel, and hangs on to his wish.

But they couldn’t do that. They couldn’t have an old character who is an example to a young woman. Because they had to have Asha be the one to “teach” everyone the “you have the power, so keep on wishing” message. You have to have her be the spirited child who proves the naysayers wrong—and therefore, you have to have Sabino be the naysayer. He doesn’t get to be the wise old man who teaches her something. He has to be the guy who says “you’re young, sit down and give up.”

Of course, they can’t even really commit to that either, because they’re still halfway-trying to make Sabino sympathetic, they’re trying to convince you that Asha really loves him and everybody does because he’s a sweet old man with a dream. But they half-do everything, and the base is rotten for all of it, so we don’t care.

Here’s what they should’ve done:

If you’re sticking with that terrible main theme: Give Sabino a wish that he never gives up on. Don’t let him give it to Magnifico. Let him keep it for himself and spend a hundred years working toward it, and he comes close several times, and it keeps blowing up in his face, and everyone (including Asha) thinks he’s crazy for keeping it, but he gets up and tries again over and over. That would’ve at least been interesting and had a shot at being impactful.

Get RID of that terrible main theme. Switch it to “have faith” and then make Sabino the one with the faith. And again, his age highlights that it is hard. It takes a long time. He spends most of his life yearning and wishing, but he never gives up or stops acting on faith. He becomes a source of inspiration for the people around him—except Asha, who loves him but needs to find her own faith before she can understand him—and then eventually joins him in faith. Like Jane from Return to Neverland. (Yes I said it.)

Star Darlings & Wish

Okay listen…

'A Wish Worth Making' is the equivalent of 'Starlight', Yes, probably because they both make me feel sad every time I listen to them. But also, I think it's because they both have the message of continuing for a dream that almost seems impossible. The Star Darlings help a girl, and in Wish they talk about all those wishes in general.

And… 'Knowing What I Know Now' is the equivalent of 'Up', In Wish, Asha begins to gather the courage to tell her friends the harsh truth about Magnifico. And how she's not going to stop them from doing the right thing because she's "bigger" than them. I feel that it is almost the same as the feelings of the protagonist in the Up video.

and last but not least 'This Wish' is the equivalent of 'Wish Now', Especially since Asha asks for something better for people of Rosas and cares about them. And I feel like it's almost the same with Sage, when at the beginning she worriedly sees Starland in the dark.

I felt like this song was a lullaby that Magnifico and Agustin had listened to from their fathers when they were little; Magnifico sang it to baby Asha while her parents were resting as she couldn’t stop crying until she could see the stars, and Agustin sang it to 5 year old Mirabel after her birthday disaster and still do until she was older enough.

When Asha’s grandfather played the song, Agustin sang the first lyrics before Magnifico joined in and both of them sang together.

What’s your thoughts?

Been chipping away at this page for the last week- I just wanted to draw more of my Asha and Najm interacting <3

And a little Valentino cameo because I hadn’t sat down to draw him yet. I like the reimagine him as a very snippy baby goat who loves Asha and really doesn’t like Najm at the start. He will bite <3

The only other thing probably worth mentioning is that, in my take on the story and world, I’ve begun liking the idea of wishing stars being related to fairies. So I wanted to give Najm a little fairy form for funsies

Would love to get around to drawing other forms they’d shift into, but that’s work for another time-

'Cause any wish that's got your heart On the edge of breaking Is a wish worth making

[cerulean-crow]

Gonna keep it simple and just stick to Asha, Najm, Magnifico, and Amaya from my story, A Wish Worth Making <3

Asha

My Asha is a very excitable, if not awkward, young woman. She's creatively driven and loves to use her art as a way to express herself, convey her ideas, as well as process certain events in her life. She loves dancing, colorful clothing with tassels and bells, animals, and her Saba Sabino (Even if he hasn't recognized her for a while). Asha could be described as a people pleaser, but she knows everyone in the castle by name, their family's names, birthdays, and always makes sure to check up on everyone she crosses paths with. She tries to be involved in everything that she can squeeze into her schedule.

More than anything, she wants to help those around her and feel worthy of the title of Rosas' princess- she feels like she owes so much to Magnifico and Amaya for taking her in after her parent's passed away. Asha wants everyone in Rosas' wishes to come true, so she works hard to prove herself ready to step up as Magnifico's apprentice so they can grant more wishes!

Najm

Najm is playful and curious! They can't stand to see people sad and will stop at nothing to make you feel at ease and crack a smile. He has an innate curiosity about the world and so desperately wants to explore it- I imagine they have a fascination for the most mundane human appliances- and, like Asha, wants to help people the best he can. They use their shapeshifting to express themselves and has a tendency to throw their magic around haphazardly. They have the magic of friendship on their side!

As I place that Pinkie Pie gif I remember that I also ship TwiPie, and suddenly an aspect of Najm and Asha's dynamic makes so much sense...

King Magnifico Rosaria

My Magnus can easily be described as egotistical and self righteous. He is marked by pride, but such a trait is not entirely unearned. Magnifico is quite intelligent and very good with people, his confidence and stage presence alone earns him the attention of the room and it's easy to see why his kingdom adores him. He strives to be perceived as down to earth and approachable.

He dedicated himself to years of laborious study in order to learn how best to contain and control the magic he could conjure. He so graciously saves his people from a lifetime of regret and yearning for more than they could ever be capable of accomplishing on their own. He guards their heart's desires and all their everyday wishes, and if your wish is truly remarkable he might just grant it for you!

Magnifico loves Amaya more than anything, he can be described as a bit of a drama queen, and was close friends with Asha's father, Tomàs, who worked in the castle library and charted the sky for Magnifico's studies.

Queen Amaya Rosaria

My Amaya is quite manipulative and cunning. Rosas knows her as their kind and charitable queen who is notoriously particular and heavily involved in the goings-on of the kingdom. She is a master of conversation and capable of interlacing scathing remarks with praise- her even temper and gentle voice will often leave you second guessing if she ever insulted you to begin with (maybe you were just overthinking it?) Amaya always seems to know every little detail that goes on in her kingdom. From bumps in event plans to idle gossip to people who dare speak out of turn against their generous rulers.

She loves Magnus more than anything, has a penchant for brewing fine elixirs and potions, and had a close friendship with Asha's mother, Sakina, who designed many of her favorite gowns.

Ngl, I think that The Beldam (Coraline in general, honestly) forever changed my brain chemistry- she is definitely the foundation for my love of evil women <3<3<3<3

I have a little challenge for the Wish!Rewrite fandom:

@annymation @uva124 @emillyverse @gracebethartacc @signed-sapphire @tumblingdownthefoxden @chillwildwave @rascalentertainments @mythartist21

(Apologies if I forgot to mention your name. You can still join if you’d like.)

For each character in your own AU, name 2-3 characters that you think they were based/inspired from the most:

I thought this would be a fun activity for us to get an idea of each other’s characters since we’re having a lot of variety now. I’ll start: 💖

(Btw, they don’t have to be a Disney character. Just someone well known. Also, you don’t have to do a character you haven’t thought through yet.)

……

Reach for the Stars AU:

(I can only put a maximum of 10 images in total so bear with me a little here ;-;)

Asha:

- Introverted and empathetic nature who’s slow to judgement like Belle

- Hesitation but longing to do and achieve something like Luca

- Humour and gentle playfulness and sarcasm like Nala.

Star/Sueño:

- Definitely the shape-shifting and complete mischief from Camilo

- Can I just say he’s mainly Aladdin-coded? Watch the animated movie and that’s mostly basically Sueño. A soft-spot for animals and kids, kind of a dork, and again, mischievous. Plus, the whole “There’s so much more to me” thing by Aladdin too.

- Paranoid and mistrusting at first but a dreamer who appreciates everything like Rapunzel

Magnus/Magnifico:

- Temper from Hades. And I guess just the vibe in general(?)

- Sympathetic complexity but ruthless like Lotso

- Family issues like between Merida and her mother. Frustrated of the high expectations for him.

Amaya:

- Innovativeness and wonder to know more like Zarina

- “Sweet” and manipulative mother-like figure like Gothel

- Deal-making trickster who is persuasive like Dr. Facilier and maybe, Ursula(?)

Valentino:

- Innocence and loyalty from Thumper (from the movie, Bambi)

- The whole child-like fun and boldness from younger Simba

- Loud-mouthed and sort of bratty like Mushu

Sometimes Mrs. Turner will Volunteer her son's services to her neighbors or coworkers. Timmy doesn't have any say in the matter, but he's a fan favorite among party hosts. They like how quickly he can memorize new music, and how he's able to match any dance partner they throw at him.
