Remember when Heart of the Land was announced and all we knew about it was that there would be three new characters -- Sora, Jean-Luc and Ngozi -- and we thought they were replacing the Four as protagonists? Honestly, if they went that route, it might have been better than whatever arc three was.

Reimagining the characters in Wish

(Part 1- Asha)

Hey guys! I don’t really know how to start this, but let’s just say that I… Didn’t like how Disney’s 100th anniversary movie turned out, like at all.

But I can tell there was a lot of unexplored potential beneath this story, that in my opinion felt overly simple and bare bones.

But if you love it, that’s awesome, more power to you, I wish I could’ve loved it too. And I don’t want to rewrite it to show I��m “better than the writers at Disney” because I’m definitely not lol, I have no experience in writing, and I’m sure they put a lot of passion into the project and I respect them for that. But this movie inspired me with ideas for a different story that I think is worth telling.

But I won’t start telling it today, instead, I'll start a series of blogs sharing my ideas for changes in the characters and their stories, after I get some feedback I will start posting more of the story itself.

If you’re interested, then come along!

Asha✨

Personality

- Asha is a 18 year old girl, with a passion for drawing and helping those around her, sometimes even worrying more about helping others than helping herself

- She’s like a big sister to her 7 friends, always being the voice of reason and acting responsible, but not in a bossy way, she’s actually very playful with them

- To the people of Rosas tho, she's seen as kind of a weirdo, for you see, she spends almost every time of the day drawing in her sketchbook

- She practices everyday to become a better artist, and the people of Rosas find this to be very peculiar, after all, why would you take so much effort to perfect a talent when you can simply wait to turn 18 and wish for the king to make you an amazing artist?

- Asha doesn’t mind these comments, although they have made her less willing to share her drawings with others that aren’t her 7 friends

- As the story progresses we see Asha flourish from a shy and introverted girl to a brave woman who after discovering a terrifying secret about the kingdom’s rulers, steps in and inspires others to join her and fight an evil sorcerer king and his alchemist wife (yes, I made Amaya an alchemist, more on that on part 2 when I talk about how I’d change Magnifico and Amaya)

- Some Disney characters that share similarities with her personality wise are: Belle, Tiana, Pocahontas and Esmeralda

Main Traits:

Calm and mature

Determined

Passionate about her interests (drawing, dancing, philosophy and stars)

Helpful and generous

Perceptive and always questioning things around her that no one pays attention to (like why do all the artists only paint the King and Queen?)

Playful

Compassionate

Backstory

Oooh boy I gave this poor girl so much angst, okay let’s go

Asha grew up with her grandfather, her parents both died in a fire when she was just a baby

(this isn’t just to fit the “haha Disney princess has no parents” cliche, there’s plot relevance in this “mysterious fire” that I’ll talk about later)

Growing up with her grandpa, he’d always support her dream to be an artist, like her mother, who was an art teacher

Her mother not only drew really well, but she also was able to create the illusion that her drawings could move, by flipping through the pages of her sketch books

In other words, her mom was an animator

Asha saw this technic her mom used as a form of magic, so she would often tell her grandpa she wanted to “Do magic just like my mom”

Her father was a philosopher (this was established in the actual movie but never explored haha whyyyy), who taught people that working hard to achieve your dreams is not only rewarding, but also essential, because it’s part of the human nature to persevere and fight for what we believe, even if we fail, even if it’s hard, just keep moving forward.

This philosophy may sound very “umm duh” for me and you since we all know and hear everywhere nothing in life comes for free… But that’s not the case in Rosas

In this rewrite the kingdom wasn’t created by Magnifico, but rather the kingdom has existed for many generations, being ruled by different kings before Magnifico who also granted wishes… but I’m getting ahead of myself.

The point is that the culture of just asking the king to give you or make you whatever you want to be has been in this kingdom’s culture since forever, so when Asha’s dad comes out saying “hey! Maybe we should stop just relying on the king to make our dreams come true, right?” He’s actually being quite a revolutionary… and sharing a very dangerous belief to other people…

At this point you might suspect what caused that “mysterious fire”

So, back to Asha, growing up with her grandpa, they shared a lot of happy memories together. Reading her father's books and her mother's art books helped Asha connect with them even tho she never had them in her life.

But as her grandfather grew older, he became senile.

Asha went from being taken care of by her grandpa to being the one who took care of him when she was still around 13 years old, and when she turned 15 her grandfather passed away of old age

Asha went on to live with her best friend Dahlia, the two became like sisters.

Though she managed to move on from the loss of her grandfather, she could never shake the feeling that he died without getting his wish granted... But she had no way to prove that, it was just a feeling

The wish granting system works different in my rewrite, instead of there being a public wish granting ceremony once a month, there would only be a public wish TAKING ceremony, that would work just like in the movie, you turn 18, you go give your wish to the king yada yada yada.

But the wish granting part would work like this: Almost every night the king would release the wishes up in the sky, they would float down like balloons to their respective owners while they sleep, and once they woke up in the morning they'd feel that their wishes were granted, for they would wake up changed.

With this method, there's no way of confirming if someone really got their wish granted or not, unless you went to ask the king.

Asha never did ask the king if he granted her grandfather's wish, but her grandfather would sometimes express how he wasn't feeling completely fulfilled in his life, he felt like there was something... missing.

This feeling of hollowness persisted in him until the very end, no matter how hard Asha tried to help her grandfather, she never knew him as his real self, because he gave part of his soul to the king, the most beautiful part of his soul, his wish.

Asha had no proof that her grandfather didn't get his wish granted, only a gut feeling.

But because of this, Asha wasn't that thrilled to give her own wish to king magnifico, knowing there was the possibility of it never being granted.

Not to mention she didn’t even know what to wish for, “I’m just 18 and you guys expect me to already know what’s my heart’s deepest desire? I’m still figuring that out, all I know is that I wanna draw”

Plus she wanted to follow her father's philosophy and achieve her wish on her own, eventually, when she figured out what her wish even was.

Asha never rebelled against the system tho, she wasn't a confrontational person. She just accepted the people of Rosas preferred to rely on the king's magic, but that just wasn't for her.

However, on her 18 birthday, when it was expected of her to give her wish to the king, she simply said she didn't have a wish, and even if she did she wouldn’t want to hand it over, she wanted to make it come true on her own. This lead to an argument with the king, and after a series of events (that I don't have time to summarize here, but you can find out about it on my rewrite) leads to her finding out a terrible truth about her kingdom. And that's how her story begins.

Design

- I’d keep these braid ornaments that Asha had in the concept art

- Since in my rewrite she’s not that invested in the kingdom of Rosas, I’d remove all the Kingdom of Rosas symbols that are present in her design (there are a LOT of them)

- I’d replace these Rosas insignia with more star and constellations themed symbols, to reflect how Asha believes that the stars are connected to people and they can guide us, just like how her father believed.

Final Thoughts

My intentions with these changes were to give Asha a strong emotional hook, and something that makes her feel relatable.

The emotional hook here is how she spent so much of her life taking care of her grandfather that she kinda never had time to worry about her own desires, that alone can be relatable to caregivers of elderly people that watch their grandparents or even their own parents lose themselves as time passes, and end up worrying more about the person they’re taking care of than themselves.

Asha has this internal emotional conflict where she feels she needs to constantly help others the same way she helped her grandfather, and one of the things she’ll learn as the story progresses is that it’s not selfish of her to want more for HERSELF.

Another thing that would be relatable about Asha is her passion for drawing, and how most people in Rosas would say she’s wasting her time practicing so much when she can just wait until she turns 18 and wish to be amazing at drawing.

She’d never stop believing that taking her time to improve on her talent and trying again and again was worth every second of her time, because let me tell ya folks, drawing is HARD, and animating like Asha’s mom did is even HARDER, it takes a whole lot of practice, and Asha was determined to keep trying.

She’d be much like Belle, remaining true to herself even tho those around her considered her odd, and very passionate about drawing just as much Belle was passionate about reading.

I also find it funny how Asha’s motivations are fairly down to earth, like in Disney movies you usually have:

I want to be free from these palace walls!

I want to explore the ocean!

I want to open a restaurant!

I want to find true love!

And then there’s Asha here like

“My life is fine, I just wanna chill and draw stuff”

And that’s it, but, in her environment where everyone is expected to have this great wish that they have to give to the king so he’ll make it a reality, she’s kinda the odd one out, and I love that. Would be a great subversion of the Disney formula.

Of course after she learns Magnifico and Amaya’s true intentions she gets a lot more agency and the desire to save her people, her “call for adventure” if you will.

But what are Magnifico and Amaya’s true intentions? Click here for part 2 and find out!

Thank You For Reading!

@amaya-143 and I present to you, Change of Faith AU!! Or at least, early concept doodles done on magma. What if Euphrasie DID end up facing the king instead of Mirabelle? Better yet, what if she was also from the lost Island and Siffrin joined her party? Shenanigans ensue!!

Waiiiiiit, what leaked rayllum scene? Proposal?????

Okay so it's not really confirmed a rayllum moment but the animation studio posted this scene in their website before S6 aired

Ofc we all asumed it was a rayllum scene (flowers‚ a boat‚ Stella‚ adoraburrs).

A few days ago they "leaked" the soundtrack from S6/7 and the second to last scene "Starlit Serenade" features Stella‚ Bait and the baitlings singing leading to a more serious romantic tone.

We all joined the clown parade‚ me specially after this theory but the soundtrack def made me hug the proposal theory even more.

The last track is "Leola's Last Wish" a name we first learned with Rayla watching the stars with Callum (close to the place Janai proposed to Amaya mind you). I imagine they will have their moment and maybe the camera will pan to the stars leading to the last scene which Im guessing will be a cliffhanger leading to Arc 3. Everyone is happy!!!... BUT (just like Arc 1 oh lord)

Rayllum is the main couple‚ there should be some kind of relationship upgrade in the end‚ and since we don't know if ARC 3 is happening yet it's just normal we have some "closure" with them AKA "yeah guys they are getting married!!"

or maybe the rayllum proposal is the last scene and Leola's Last Wish was Rayllum marrying and having babies reason why we need an arc 3

I have decided if there's no proposal I'm gonna become evil and my follow clowns should join

[fantasygerard2000]

Amaya is a really underrated character. Some people say she could've been better as a villain, but I disagree, largely because majority of these people only care about her if she's a version of her that exists in their heads. And very few like myself appreciate her as she is because of her role as queen and Magnifico's wife.

Her character is heavily tied with Magnifico's, most of her scene involves around him. She informs Asha of things to do when she becomes his apprentice, like keeping his tea hot and listen to him when he speaks; she convinces him to not use the book when he gets paranoid over someone else other than him using magic; she sees that he created a staff out of dark magic, calling him out for doing so after he swore that he'll never do so; joining Asha's rebellion after seeing just how the man she loved became the thing he hated.

However, we also get to see brief moments of her that are independent of Magnifico. She was very supportive of Asha becoming his apprentice as she knows how kind and generous Asha is to her people, which are the things Rosas is built on. And in the end, we see just how the kind of ruler she is and the kind of king Magnifico claims he is or should have been, supportive of her people to pursue and achieving their dreams.

She and Magnifico are straight up foils of each other. Magnifico is the talker and she is the listener; Magnifico talks about himself and Amaya listens to others; Magnifico despite having the power to grant wishes doesn't use it while Amaya not having any magic helps people pursue them; Magnifico refuses to grant the harmless of wishes for selfish reasons, she helps two people achieve theirs out of the generosity of her heart.

Her story is also on the tragic side as even though Magnifico is not an abusive husband, he does have the characteristics of one. Threatening her when he suspects her of being against him and even turning on her when she calls him out. People don't seem to notice this, but Magnifico is a powerful sorcerer, he has the literal powers to do anything to someone if they were to get on his bad side.

Amaya's story is about a woman who supported a man she loved into building a community out of their shared desire to make it a place of kindness and generosity. Upon seeing him slowly becoming the things that are against what she and him built this community on, she does what she can to stir him back to his former self. And when that man went off the deep end, she has no choice but to cut him off and take charge of the community he founded and became the leader he was supposed to be alongside her.

GUNNTECH OC

Meet Kira!

An oc from Au GunnTech of @elmushterri

Kira would be a wolf hero(?

She is British and was sold by her mother to the GunnTech corporation, so Kira hates her mother-

She is from the "animal" group and she is not the smartest of all, but when she wants she activates her nerd mode.

Kira is VERY tall, she would be a little taller than Greg (I don't know how tall he is)

One fact is that she is in love with Romeo (What bad tastes Kira) So she would be a little jealous of Catboy for being the subject of Romeo's experiments.

Kira knew Romeo and his mother since she was little (she sometimes escaped from her room at GunnTech)

As a child she would be like "Romeo! It's my turn for you to experiment with me!" And Romeo would just be like "Wait, I'll finish with Catboy"

Since Catboy stopped being Romeo's subject of experiments, he would use Kira to do them, and Kira (blinded by love idk) would leave him do it like nothing.

Catboy would try to make Kira get away from Romeo (from his own experience) and Kira wouldn't accept his help, so she's like too easy to manipulate (?

Kira would defend Romeo as "He's not bad, he just wants to do what he likes!"

One reason her tail is HUGE, is so she can wrap it around other people for immobilization. (Fun fact: sometimes she uses her tail as a pillow)

She would be like an Armadylan(? but much less annoying, just like someone who does what she wants(She was punished too much for that, so she does it secretly)

When she heard that the PJ Masks wanted to leave GunnTech, she automatically joined, and decided to help them by giving them some information she got when Romeo was experimenting on her.

Romeo would give her a "punishment" for "betraying" him This punishment was worse than the ones GunnTech gave her and well- she almost lost a leg. (Romeo would manipulate her too much when he realized Kira's crush on him) That's where Kira stopped loving him. I think Romeo might regret doing it (he's still human, remember that)

Maybe Romeo did some kind of "Love Bombing" to her so he could manipulate Kira more easily!

Some extra data!

She LOVES the ninjalinos, she loves them so much that she usually gives them things and teaches them some basic things(Night Ninja just doesn't see her as a danger to them)

As a child, she would be too naive. She would tell everyone things like "Look! When they put this on us, we'll be superheroes! Isn't it cool?" She would take GunnTech as a great place, until the punishments and traumas began.

When everyone takes normal lives, she really wouldn't know what to do and Amaya would help her to find a purpose in her life besides doing crazy things.

I don't know exactly what her powers are, maybe like Catboy's(? Some would be super hearing, climbing (with her claws), sniffing, night vision and having a sense of danger (almost like Spiderman's spider sense)

She doesn't consider herself as a "helper" to Romeo, I imagine it as Romeo saying to her "Kira, I need to try something with you" and Kira would be like "Okay! <3 "

She likes to do gymnastics!

Her eye scar was made by his mother (She is a bad mother)

She likes to have her animal aspects activated almost all day (tail, ears, nose, claws, fangs)

ZzzZ

Just in case, don't think that with this OC I tried to get in the way of the Catboy x Romeo (or any other ship with Romeo) of this AU!

Simply Kira was in love with Romeo for so many years since neither of them (Romeo and Catboy) said that they "liked" each other explicitly. Obviously they had their hints like "Catboy could stand this more" or something like that, but Kira is too dumb to realize that. If either of them had told her their interest in the other, Kira would only say "You like him? Wow... I WANT TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING! GET MARRIED!" (obviously Kira wouldn't get rid of that crush for a long time but she still won't get in between them)

I love the ships in GunnTech, I clarify it in case there are any misunderstandings :"(

If you want to ship her with Romeo, that's your decision! I have no problem with that (besides, Elmushterri said she had no problem with the Oc x Canon :3)

----

Sketches :>

And well- that's it!

Let me tell you that I love this AU as much as others! I made this oc because It was fun.

I hope you liked it, if you have questions, you know where to leave them ;) In the questions section :3

[amikoroyaiart]

I am here to humbly ask for lore on your OC Amaya and their relationship with Fox?

Me when people ask about Fox and Amaya:

Okay so Fox basically met her on his worst day of his life ( he had worse later but it was the day he basically realized how cruel Coruscant is). Some senator’s son was kidnapped by bounty hunters and Corrie guards were brutally killed during that attack, most of them shinies. Fox was furious and went after that group by himself. He got his scar on his nose during the rescue and avenged his brothers. While he was giving the son back, his face under the helmet was screaming with pain, his brothers killed, he didn’t even hear thank you from the senator. The kid was the only one who whispered thank you. So Fox refused getting bacta on his wound(someone might need it more, his face is not important) and went wandering on Coruscant thinking how stupid he was to think that he should be proud of being Coruscant Guard. And while being in an alley, his face still in pain, he met Amaya. She was a barista at one of the coffeshops and was taking out the trash when she saw for the first time clone without his helmet. And it just hit her very hard how human he was.

Amaya is from Mirial where she was living only with her brother, their parents died when she was very little. Her brother always wanted the best for her and his dream was to live on Coruscant where he could get a better job and she could learn more. To earn more he joined bounty hunter guild. Amaya never liked that idea, she was content with the life they had. And when he finally achieved his dreams, got them the flat on Coruscant, and tried to end his relationship with the guild, he was killed by them because they didn’t like the idea of him leaving. So Amaya had to leave their home planet by herself and ended on completely different planet. She got a job as barista because her brother always told her how good she is at listening to people and making coffee. It also gave her a false sense of security because she was always surrounded by people at work. She was still feeling lonely but lying to herself that she is not. And then the war happened and the strange clone soldiers were suddenly on the streets.

And then she met one, clearly suffering and distressed and she just asked him if he wanted a coffee because he looked like he needed one.

Fox followed to her shop and while he was surprised by this sudden act of kindness he didn’t say a word. What he had to lose? She started talking about her work, about her day. Said her name was Amaya and if he didn’t want to say his name that’s okay, he doesn’t have to say anything. And she just continued cleaning the shop, gave him the most delicious coffee ever and never asked for anything more. And after taking the sip Fox finally said 'I cannot pay for this.’

To what Amaya just shrugged and said 'It's okay, I offered. Besides your company is enough. It gets lonely here sometimes.’

And Fox almost cried at this unexpected act of kindness and finished his drink. And when he was leaving she told him to come back again when he will feel down. And Fox wasn’t planning on this to become a thing but sometimes he had to remind himself that not everyone on Coruscant is an asshole, that there are still some kind beings on this cursed planet. And he visited again, finally shared his name, and he was mostly listening to her rambling about anything and then started to open himself. And she never judged him, but was always there to listen. Just two people who didn’t want to be on Coruscant but ended there anyway.

A little something I wrote because I want and need Season 7 rn

Sorens ok, why wouldn't he be? He'll be there when we get there and he'll have a smile on his face to hide his own nervousness.

The thought kept repeating in his mind, it was the only thing keeping him sane as he sat upon his horse. His hands gripping the reins tightly as he rode alongside King Ezran. “The letter said they'll be in the woods as a way to stay out of sight. They're close to the town though so it'll be easy to find them.” Grens voice broke the silence between everyone as he interpreted Amaya.

“How many were injured?” Ezrans voice was shaking slightly, like he still couldn't believe Katolis was attacked. “They didn't give a specific number, only saying that several people were injured due to either being trapped by debris or getting too close to the flames.” Grens voice was steady, steady like Amayas signing.

“How many were lost?” Silence followed the words. The only noise came from the steady sounds of hooves hitting the ground harshly as the animals ran towards Katolis. Amaya only looked forwards, unable to look at Ezran. He knew why, Katolis was attacked by a dragon. The amount of survivors would be small, especially of those who were within castle walls.

Soren was within the castle walls.

The thought made his stomach churn. His chest felt tight and his mind felt like it was mush.

I beg of you, let Soren be one of the few survivors from within the walls. I don't care if it's selfish, just let him be alive.

“Around a hundred, all of them were from within the castle walls and mostly from the first wave of flames.” He saw as Ezran only stared at the back of his horse's head. He only looked ahead of him, they've been riding for two days with very little and short breaks. “I'm sure Callum and Rayla are already there or almost there. They'll be able to offer assistance until we get there.” He hoped the words were able to comfort the young king.

It was all he had to offer as he couldn't even comfort his own heart.

_______________________________

_______________________________

After two more days of riding, they finally made it to Katolis. They slowed their pace as they made their way to the woods. He could feel as his heart beat increased as they got closer to the campsite. The sounds of people moving around and doing different tasks were loud in his ears. They paused a little bit away from the entrance of the camp.

He only looked around from his horse, his eyes moving from person to person as he searched for his person. He only held back a frown when he couldn't find the one he was looking for. He only got off his horse when the others did as well. “Ezran!” The familiar voice of Rayla caught his attention. She would know where his person is.

Ezran only rushed to her once he spotted her. He only watched as the two hugged, Rayla seemed relieved that Ezran was ok and Ezran seemed relaxed in her hold. It made him smile a bit. “I'm so glad you're ok, we saw what happened when we went to Lujannes.” Raylas voice was full of emotion. It was the most emotion he's ever heard come from the girl. It made him worried, did something happen to her and Callum besides this?

He only looked around once again, his eyes scanning the area for his person once again. He could see Callum rushing over to Ezran and Rayla before joining their hug. It didn't take Amaya to join them, he could see as Amaya briefly lifted the three from the ground. He only looked at the group. From the corner of his eye, he could see some of the medics that came with them were heading towards the camp.

He only scanned the area once more. His eyes landed on a familiar head of blonde hair. He only walked towards the person, his footsteps quick. “Soren.” At the sound of his name, Soren turned to look at him. He only paused as he stared at Soren. “Corvus.” Sorens voice was quiet, the quietest he's ever heard it be.

Sorens body looked burned, trails of lava leaving grooves in his skin as it traveled all over his body. More importantly, Soren looked scared. Scared of what though? Was he scared of how people would react to him now? Whatever the reason, he didn't care. Underneath whatever happened to Soren, it didn't matter anymore, it was still Soren. It was still his Soren.

He only rushed towards Soren. He brought a hand to the back of Sorens head as he wrapped an arm around Sorens torso. “You're ok, I'm so glad you're ok.” His voice was soft, he turned his head a bit so his lips were pressed against the side of Sorens head a bit. Soren only wrapped his arms around him. His hands held onto his shoulders loosely as his face pressed into his scarf. “I'm sorry.” Sorens voice was quiet, slightly muffled by his scarf.

“Don't apologize, none of this was your fault.” He held Soren tightly, Sorens skin felt like it was on fire. It burned his hand from where it rested but he didn't care. Soren only held onto him a bit tighter. He only held Soren tighter as well. Soren only buried his face into his scarf. “It's not your fault, you did what you could.” Soren only nodded into his scarf.

His hand felt like it was on fire from where it rested on Soren. However, it didn't matter to him. Why would it? Because by the gods, it would burn so much more if he wasn't holding Soren.

⚠️Spoilers for Wish⚠️

While I am excited for/ planning to watch Disney’s Wish, I honestly wish (heh) they had gone with the original plan for Amaya’s character and made her a villain alongside Magnífico.

Like, I genuinely think it could’ve been cool to see them as partners in crime and be inspired by classic Disney villain traits: vain, narcissistic, power-hungry, cruel, and enjoyable to hate.

I could’ve seen their relationship as something similar to Scarlett and Herb Overkill from the Minions movie, where it’s two married villains who are clearly terrible people, but are still heads over heels for each other.

I’ve read the golden book and kids book of the movie that some people have uploaded on YouTube, and while those books tend to omit things from the actual film, they give us a basic synopsis of the overall story.

(SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE BELOW)

——————

Essentially, the story ends with Magnífico being sucked into his staff, Amaya rules Rosas and Star gives Asha a wishing wand (essentially making her a Fairy Godmother sort of character mixed with elements of Snow White)

It’s a pretty basic, cut-and-dry story and I’m not saying I expected Shakespeare or whatever, but imagine how much better the story would’ve been with both Magnífico and Amaya as the villains:

The story could’ve been that the kingdom of Rosas was ruled by Magnífico and Amaya, who both seemed charming and generous on the outside, but were greedy and self-serving on the inside. They essentially didn’t care for anyone but each other.

I’d also add Amaya’s cat Charo from the concept art book, cause it think it would be cute that these two are absolute shitheads, but are still cat parents who spoil their cat and take it everywhere.

Anyways… Magnífico, like in the actual story, only granted the wishes that benefited him (and his wife), while the majority of wishes were stashed away in his tower.

Asha wants to become Magnífico’s apprentice and when introduced to the wishes, wants to grant her grandfather’s wish and finds the kings (and queens) whole wish-granting system unfair to the people (again, like the canon material).

The story would then go like the actual movie: Asha makes a wish on a Star and Magnífico sees her as a threat to his power and hunts her down (only with Amaya by his side).

I’d like to think that while Magnífico has his moments where his true personality shines, I feel like Amaya wouldn’t truly snap until the very end, having a little more composure than her husband (similarly to the Evil Queen or Maleficent or Ursula)

In the end, the King and Queen are defeated and banished into Magnífico’s staff. Asha is named the new Princess of Rosas (or Queen, whichever you prefer), and she actually joins the Disney Princess lineup and it’s not just advertisement. Like the real story, Star gives her a wand and Asha becomes the new wish-granter.

It’s not perfect, but I think it may have been more interesting and entertaining to see rather than the typical director the creators went with the story

These are just my thoughts, however, I’m still gonna watch the movie and see I think about it.

[stuck-in-jelly]

Thinking about clothes design in the dragon prince for no particular reason and specifically thinking about Soren’s and Amaya’s design changes between the Arcs.

In Arc 1 Soren wears a primarily silver and black armor set, very classic knight, with gold accents around it. But the color red is heavily symbolic of Katolis and The Royal Line, it is a color that seems to be a uniform requirement for any Katolian soldiers working in the castle. Its their undershirt, lining their helmets, on the armor straps etc. and even after Corvus joins in arc 2 he now had red, albeit subtly, in his uniform.

However, for Soren the red is more stubble being hidden in the underside of his cape and on his sword. The black is representative of his blood family and who he is severing in the beginning meanwhile the red represents Katolis and Ezran hinting to where Soren’s true loyalty lies in the end.

In Arc 2 it changes completely. Although red is the main color of Katolis its colors are also brown and gold and in this new desgin Soren bears these colors the most.

His silver chest and shoulder armor plates have changed to brown and only accents of black remain on him.

But most notably, Soren loses the cape, both a symbol of his maturity and also the severing of his ties to Viren and Claudia and now he wears a completely red shirt on full display, his loyalty and love for Katolis no longer hidden or obscured.

In Arc 1 for Amaya we see her with absolutely no red accents and same goes for any of her soldiers. Under her command they all wear blue, gold, and silver. The only exception seems to be Corvus who although wears a teal scarf does not wear any gold or match other soldiers.

And we know that blue is tied to and symbolic of Amaya, Callum, and presumably Sarai before marriage.

Then in Arc 2 Amaya is engaged to the Queen of Lux Aurea. The Sunfire Kingdom’s colors are red, orange, yellow, and gold

However unlike her sister however Amaya doesn’t take on all of the colors of the Sunfire kingdom. Instead she takes on the traditional designs of them, both her casual wear and her armor now having accents of Sunfire Elves armors and casual clothes.

Why the difference?

King Harrow bent the knee to tradition following the rules and orders despite his apprehensions about it. Im sure there was already talk in the castle about a, at the time, Prince Harrow attempting to woo a widow with a child. So it would make sense after the backlash of that, that he would try to conform more to get people to accept him and his family without judgment.

Queen Janai meanwhile is actively pushing against tradition despite what people have to say about it. She stands her ground on her choice to marry a human, to merge their cultures, to allow a new era to come. Of course the backlash hurts and she feels betrayed and sad over it but she’s headstrong refusing to let people take away or shame her new family and love.

Maybe im looking into it too much but I just love the clothing designs and shifts we can see in the characters

Joining TDB oc bandwagon~ She's my existing oc, Amaya Lily! Funny how in the original lore she's supposed to be a flower spirit,, so she could be considered an anomaly herself!

OC Original design : Amaya Lily

GUH I just noticed someone already asked about 3 so I'll go with 4, 7 and 9 :3 (9's kind of a boring one but oh well)

YOU ARE SO GOOD MY DUDE and this works out bc a lot of these questions can be answered in multiple ways :3c

4. what did you name your hero and partner characters? and why? THIS TIME i'm gonna talk about my rescue team, specifically for rtdx

freaking baring my soul here these sketches are ROUGH

they are Team Lucky, Finn (feraligatr, partner) and Ryme (sylveon, hero). they are alternate versions of my blue rescue team of the same names, except finn stayed a croconaw and ryme became a jolteon. i created them when i was 14, so they are my second oldest pmd characters and are over 10 years old now (wild). i remember the night i was thinking of their names— i knew i wanted to call the totodile Finn cuz i just liked it for a totodile, and i wanted their names to have a ring together, so then Ryme just popped into my head and stuck lol. finn & ryme!

(a bit of a tangent here but i was pretty proud of coming up w the name Ryme bc i hadn’t ever seen it before, and then years later Pokemon proceeds to use that name TWICE in canon— with Ryme City in detective pikachu, and then the ghost gym leader from scarlet and violet ! and i was like bitch the fuck! i INVENTED that name! lol jokes aside in a way it is validating to see that name used in canon.)

ANYWAY for rtdx, i played as eevee and totodile again and decided to slightly tweak their personalities and evolution choices in order to think of it as an alternate timeline of sorts. also they r pining for each other in this timeline :3c my singular heroxpartner team... hmm i wonder why Ryme became a sylveon... (she does not know why.)

7. how do you interpret the future trio's relationship to each other? extracting my brain from the fanon as much as i can, i think they would all be very trusted allies, if not good friends. i wouldn't consider it a huge stretch at all for the three of them to stay a team– even if just temporarily– and travel the grass continent offering their wealth of knowledge and skills to assist the scattered surviving pokemon and restore the land to a thriving and beautiful place to be. the sableye would join their efforts too!

BUT. but but but. ☝️ i would love it if the trio formed a permanent team. and the polycule headcanons are very fun :)

9. what do you ship in the games? amaya you know well that i have a taste for toxic yaoi, and this series just so happens to have an excellent example of it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

but might i also propose: dugtrio x the sea. thank you for your consideration

Now Introducing...

the one

the only

QUEEN AGATHA

(OR AMAYA BASICALLY)

(ALSO THANK YOU @signed-sapphire @sewerpalette @pennysucks FOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE DESIGN. IT WAS A MASSIVE HELP AND JUST THANK YOU IN GENERAL. IDK HOW TO THANK YOU GUYS BUT I'M FOREVER AND EVER GRATEFUL TYTYTYYTYTY)

ok...

Lets talk about her now shall we?? 😘

(FW: MINOR GORE)

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

Before we begin, Agatha is by no account, Amaya's replacement. Now here is the thing. Amaya is really cool...in drafts. But in cannon, Amaya is nothing more than a plot device to get the teens in the castle and only exists to be Magnifico's replacement in the cannon film once the whole kingdom goes down so Asha doesn't take up the reins of being Queen. Not only that she didn't have a lot of personality or any character in the film. In all honesty, although she is inspired from the drafts of Amaya, her character conflict is very much different and not on par with the drafts. She also has more to her backstory that was not seen in the original drafts or even thought of. I just wanted to get that out of the way before I go in depth to her character. But lets get to the outfit, cause I think it was a pretty interesting thought processes ;)

Plus have you seen the jokes about Amaya or why I barely talk about her?? ITS BECAUSE SHE IS NOTHING. ZERO. EGG SHAPED. Why should I care about her when I barely know anything about her like bro, giving her a moral delehmia of staying with Magnifico or joining the resistance would have been so much more interesting and gives more substance. Probably why I dont like Amaya at all. She lacks substance.

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

Agatha has Greek/European inspirations to her design! I had a ton of problems when getting the design together, merely the fact that I didn't like the outfit given in film or didn't find any that really fit her for what I was going for. Even though I didn't know what I was going for, I just didn't like that style given in the films, or hell, even in the drafts (the dull colors didn't even help since there was so much vibrancy in medeivel times)

Thats when I had the most randomest idea and just said: "Fuck it" and then I decided to combind Greek and European outfits into one.

My inspirations were from these images I found on google and pinterest:

So this is how the dress works or merely my thought process on how it came out this way!

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

Numro Uno

As ideas was setting into place, I noticed a trend among both sets of the outfits. I'm mainly refuring to the top shape to the outfit.

When taking a look at the European Outfits, that have what I would say, a more triangle shape, which the same can be applied to Amaya's outfit as well.

Meant to put curves down, but you get the point.

For Greek outfits, there was more of a square shape doing on at the top of the outfits.

Not only that, but the Greek clothing does not have the dress open up unlike some European outfits I saw. (not all of the European outfits I saw opened up near the bottom of the dress, only most of them did)

Either way, what I am trying to say is:

Greek Outfits = Square

European Outfits = Triangle

So when combinding them, I simply thougt of it being like this

Top: Square Shaped

Bottom: Triangle Shaped

ofc this is the final design...

What you guys want was my drafts!

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

In my sketches, at first since I didn't like how outfit wise, dresses didn't seem too work, so I wondered what she would look like if she wore pants 🤯

(You will notice that I kept the transparent cloak the entire time)

Although she looked BADASS (fucking hot oml) it felt more like smth she would wear during travels. That's the main ick, it just worked for something else, but not for what I am going for. However, Agatha does wear pants, but mainly when she is getting materials for her potions that are acessed outside the kingdom. And yes, I even thought about giving her a tail coat, but it wouldn't work for the time frame 💀💀💀

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

For these 2, I started playing with the top to get ideas and see if I wanted the transparent cloak at all (I did ofc she looks so badass (hot) in it)

I also drew her comforting Asha! (Which I will talk about her in the backstory section since I had to change it)

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

Hmmm this one does seem familiar now does it 🤨🤨

For this one in particular, although this was one I chose as a main base for the final draft, her top was more triangle shaped than square, which is what I was going for in the final design.

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

Thats when I started worrying about mobility. How much room would that dress have when she is moving quickly?

This one was to see what it would look like if she had more mobility in her outfit. Although she would...it didn't sit right with me. It just felt off. It could be the more triangle top I went for in this one, it just didn't work and didn't look good.

The one in the corner was me playing with "WHAT if Asha inspired outfit" lmao.

Nah didn't work.

So between those 3, a friend from my ASL 2 class saw my drawings, and I asked for his opinions on it. He said to go with the one I chose for the base. Although I don't necessarily remember much of what he said, he explained why this one was more appealing soooo thanks Z. 🔥🔥

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

This one was more of ofc using the drafts, but if she had sleeves. I intentionally removed them because it clashed with the cloak and didn't look good or work with what I was going for.

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

Now let's talk about color pallet! (Ik I'm going so much in depth than what I did for Asha, but imma be honest the whole process in on my tumblr. The amount of times I changed that girl's outfit is unfathomable 😭😭😭😭)

I'll be short, but the frills on her dress (the gold part) is supposed to signify a yellow rose. Cause...ROSE-AS ROSAS 😜😜😜

I did see if blue worked for the outfit, but for the warm toned color pallet I did for her, it really clashed. Soooooo GOLD FOR THE WIN BABYYYY

She also wears this gold leafy crown and it was between green and gold, and I'm still stuck between that, but this was the crown ykyk

Yes it is a Greek one, I just REFUSE to give her a ugly ass crown like I did for Maggy. (IM SO SORRY MAGGY I SWEAR ILL MAKE YOU A BETTER ONE)

Ahem....

Can we talk about her face?

Yes?

HELL YEAH.

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

(TW MINOR GORE)

So there is a stark difference between her past self and her current self when it comes to certain features.

For example, in her past, or "I am not at the brink of insanity" saga, her hair is braided, telling us she is in a good mental state at that point of time before her eye was scratched out (a dagger like cut through her face through her eye, literally popping it 💀). In the one I show you above in the "My eye is missing" stage, is what she would look like in her "Im not at the brink of insanity" saga minus the overlapping hair strands and the obvious missing eye. Also in that image, she has ash stuck in her hair from...THE INCIDENT (cough cough).

In her current self, her hair is obviously not braided actually showing us her current mental state. She is literally a huge mess, and her trauma has a huge effect on her mental health. She literally is not doing to well...until she met Asha (I'LL GET TO THAT I SWEAR). Agatha also has a white streak in her hair from a experiment gone wrong type of scenerio, where the potion she was brewing exploded something and landed on her forehead, hense the burn mark underneath the hair. Which is what gives it's unnatural hair color.

I was going for a beserk evil scientist vibe with her design, because she does go a bit crazy later in the story obv

Some other features I added was just adding a overall added sharpness to her, to actually resemble something like thorns in a way and to she perhaps she was EVILHSJkDLMNJHK 😜

The only features I sorta kept was her overall color pallet from Amaya for her hair, skin, eyes and her mole below her eye cause I thought it looked really cute.

And lastly, he is the character sheet for Agatha <3

Now that is out of the way, I'll get into the backstory portion...kinda...

I still wanna save some things for her for the story, but here are some notes/things you SHOULD ABSOUTLY KNOW about her

°•◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇•°

NUMERO DOS

Agatha is the oldest sibling out of her 3 siblings. Her sister is really a few years younger than her and is in her young adult/late teens age wise. Her younger brother is in her pre-teens.

Her parents cut her off from all forms of contact after...yk...so she knows things about abandoment and how she felt, especially at the worse time in her life.

She and Magnus did NOT kill Asha's parents. IN FACT, they were very close friends, and met during their travels with Magnus! (I am firmly debating if Magnus ever founded a kingdom or he is royalty but I am not entirely sure yet but it would fix some weird things I found in the story)

She is a more organized person than her husband lol

Potion making is what she excels at ( one of the potions she made can blast lightning (inspired from hogwarts legacy))

She deeply cares for both Asha and Magnus with all her heart <3

Thats really it. I am ofc holding things close to my chest for backstory reasons and for story reasons since we will learn more about her from that point.

This is the part where for what I need to talk about, which is the Hamlet.

The Hamlet idea is so cool, I will admit it, but for how the story is progressing or my thought process of it, it creates plot holes. Not small ones, but GAINT plot holes.

I noticed this back when I was writing out the Magnifico Angst, which was why I put a hold on it to think about it. This was also when I was also concidering the duration of time taking place in my AU (which I am still having trouble with). I think past me did a pretty good job of explaining the way I felt about the Hamlet overall in my AU (this is from my 20+ drafts help):

It boils down to my dilemma with Asha's character right now. It's when she meets Maggy and Amaya and going off topic to talk about Asha too, is how she can become a better person after learning everything she knew is a lie.

Plus noticing some other plot holes like "how does maggy know dark magic kills stars?" Cause if he knows that dark magic kills stars, that would mean he had done it before so it is like 🤨

And it is very important to when Amaya takes in Asha. If Asha was one of the citizens that was there when the kingdom was destroyed, that is just...tragic overall and breaks some things 😭

I'll explain. If Asha saw everything that happened to Mag or basically was there to witness said event, she would have seen her parents basically evaporate into thin air as they shielded her. It makes some good trauma, and it does justify her reasons for not liking stars, I just don't like how it would play out in the story personally. It's good, but wouldn't it ruin the relationship between Star and Asha? PLUS, why would she wish on a star for things to change...oh wait that would make for a really good villain au fuck-

ANYWAYS, if it isn't...well then why was the hamlet there? I mean I could say that after decades of the kingdom going to shit, the citizens fled to the forest to hide in, but that brings up: why did Mag and Amaya destroy it in the first place? I entirely know why Amaya took in Asha, (it breaks me everytime help) but the whole hamlet thing in my au just kinda breaks. It also begs the question: why didn't they do anything to change what is going on in the kingdom, how did maggy and Amaya find out about it? And if they murdered some people, why not Asha (even though i know why Amaya took her in, doesnt it sound hypocritical? Like why spare her? Maybe they spared the children...idk) And going back to why Mag and Amaya destroyed the hamlet, if they did, it would be because they dont want any heretics, or a revolt. But if it is a revolt, it slids into why didnt they do anything to change...UNTIL THAT TIME IT TAKES PLACE?? And just the overall why of it all. And how it impacts Asha overall. I mean sure, she might remember some parts of her early childhood being in the hamlet, but she was six. She might not even remember all of it. So wouldn't ruin the pacing? Plus her character doesnt really resolve around the hamlet much if I'll be honest. I mean yeah, that can change ofc, and if it ends up her having to remember stuff from there, would it be significant to the overall plot??? For her character? (Idk her age, but) if she ends up being 18 in my au (its going from 18-19 rn lol), she has basically been living at the castle for 12 years 💀. Why would she want to remember things she wouldn't want to remember?? I guess maybe for wanting to learn the truth 💀💀

Lots of why's lmao.

Which is why I have to remove it. For pacing reasons, character reasons, and story reasons.

Agatha took Asha in for reasons. Not stating it here since I would like to make a animatic for that...but...man... :(

Kinda hurts for Agatha and Magnus since they KNOW HER PARENTS.

Massive womp womp

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Yikes sorry for making you read through that, I also felt like I was on the brink of insanity just talking about her.

But yeah what do you guys think about Agatha? Personally, she is my pookie wookie

Im finally going to draw her more since honestly I dont draw Amaya a lot, but with Agatha

hell yeah

Hello, Wish rewriters!

To make up for the lack of art lately I’ve decided to do some Picrews! How about you make your own designs of Asha, Starboy, Magnifico, and Amaya with this!

Here are mine! Ignore how Cielo’s looks nothing like him at all, it was pretty hard— also ignore how they all have blue cloaks, the outfits are very modern and hard to cover up without a cloak. They also don’t have braid options, so Amaya’s hair is loose but idk I think they look like themselves

Added some hidden meanings in the backgrounds, see if you can figure out what they mean!

@annymation @uva124 @emillyverse @oh-shtars @chillwildwave @hopeyarts @rascalentertainments @your-ne1ghbor @frogcoven88 @kstarsarts @mythartist21 @spectator-zee @tumblingdownthefoxden @thisnameisnotspokenfor and anyone else who would like to join! (Even if you don’t have a Wish rewrite, maybe create some of your favorite redesigns you’ve seen so far?)

[cinamun]

So basically, I want to talk about this because I feel this is poignant. Since it probably wont be explored much later, I would like to get into it... feel free to join me? Or not its ok.

After Indira and DJ graduated, we took a time skip ahead 3 months to find Indya and Darren living as empty nesters in a beautiful townhome in Tomarang. They didn't relocate to Tomarang alone; DJ moved into Foxbury student housing onsite there (similar to Hope studying from Mt. Komerebi) and Dira moved into a townhome of her own. While on opposite sides of the island, they keep in contact.

DJ, because of college and all that comes with it, is probably more connected to his parents still. There's paperwork that needs completing for his coursework, etc. Not to mention his breakup with Amaya had him visiting a few times.

Indira on the other hand found her wings and immediately enjoyed all that came with freedom and independence living in a new place, meeting new people and doing what she wanted on her terms. She and her brother left home with HEFTY starter funds so they really want for nothing. While Dira is always in the group chat and speaks to her mom and dad at least a couple of times a week, she really doesn't make her way across the bridge to visit her parents. She decided college wasn't for her so there isn't a need for any assistance with forms, etc. She didn't have a boyfriend so, unlike Hope, there was no relying on mom for life advice in that regard like we saw in Mt. Komorebi.

Indira really has been on her own. So yeah, this moment is pivotal in that Indya expressed a fear to Darren awhile back that Indira wasn't honest with her and, what if they just grow up and leave and forget about their mom? Indya has made space for her daughter to explore and live but I think there was something magical about seeing her daughter, who exhaled all of her worries on her shoulder, coming back home.

New chapter is up! Next one is the Janaya wedding, wooo! Here's some fun lead up though:

The atmosphere in the Sunfire camp was an odd one. Most people were in a cheerful mood as Sunfire elves and humans alike put up the finalized decorations around the main throughway into camp leading to their main pavilion. It was set to be a warm, dry night, and more importantly, a sunny day for the wedding. Janai needed all the good luck she could get. “How are the perimeters?” asked Amaya. She approached Janai at the entrance to the camp, watching as a couple of people set up huge floral arrangements to flank the entryway. “I can’t tell if you’re asking about the decorating or the patrol,” signed Janai back as she spoke. She smiled. “But both are going well, without a hitch.” The mood permeating the air was less about what people said and more how they looked. No one’s armor or weaponry was ceremonial. Their wedding would join together humans and elves for the first time in lifetimes, but the potential threat of the party being crashed by Aaravos had everyone on edge. The heightened security wouldn’t be a good look for their foreign human visitors to encounter either, but it couldn’t be helped.
