I wonder, how long will the story be for Asha?a month,months or even a year?

Because damn,the climax probably hasn't even begun yet and Asha is having it rough with a LOT on her plate and repressed issues,insecurities,etcepheus.

Then add her period in,with the cramps that feels stabbable,bloating, heavy flow and possible migraine (if she's one of those who experience headaches when getting periods—).

Having your lower abdomen feel like an inflated flesh balloon prickled with needles after dry heaving while there's people, specifically assassins, out to get you is not gonna be a fun experience for Asha.

(She gets a happy ending right? Right??

And Cephs ending too, I guess...

)

On a much lighter note, does Sakina have any baby pictures/portraits of Asha when she was a baby or a toddler?

And what's their own personal bonding activity with each other when Asha was younger?

How well is Sakina's relationship with her nieces and/or nephews? And when did Sakina start being a seamstress?

😂😂😂

I can’t give an exact answer as to how long the story will last- but I’d like to think that Asha’s gotten her monthly out of the way, so she won’t have to worry about that! (Yay she has one good thing going for her! 😂)

The climax is coming up soon tho trust me

Sakina does have some portrait/photos of Asha as a baby/toddler that she will talk about very soon! When they were younger Asha and her mother bonded over her mother telling her fairy tales/her stories at sea and sewing princess-esque night gowns for her! ((She will talk about this in the story as well))

Her relationship with her niece/nephews is very good even though they live far away from each other so she doesn’t get to see them often but she spoils them rotten every time she does!

She’s loved sewing for as long as she could remember- it was a skill she inherited from her mother, even before she learned how to sail so I do believe that she was around the age of 5 or 6 when she first started sewing dresses/clothes!

((Also ayo what’s up with the shade for Ceph’s ending?! I can’t answer how Asha’s story will end yet 😏))

Asha (somberly and in dread): I think I've got a crush on Cepheus. Any thoughts?

Enrique, while the others cover Valentinos mouth:And prayers.

Adelina, joining in: You're gonna need it.

Cephs Nanny:

Quotes found in Pinterest

Cepheus: I'm cool, Asha!

Cepheus: I'm THE coolest!

Cepheus: In fact, I was once arrested for being to cool.

Cephs Lawyers: The case was dropped because there was no supporting evidence.

Asha regarding her crush in a disappointed tone: The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here I am, limbo dancing with the devil.

:What motivates you?

Asha: My ambition and desire to push my people forward?

:Ceph, what about you?

Ceph: An unhealthy mix of spite,pettiness,the thirst for vengeance, and pure unrelenting rage.

All I gotta say about that first meme is OOF-somebody please bookmark this post or screenshot it lol

That Asha and the other Asha memes is just wickedly true 😂😂😂 cruel but true. I feel like if the other Asha’s met up with her my Asha would easily be the unhappiest/quietest one. Mostly because she really wouldn’t know what to make of the situation so she’d be weirded out to see so many of her and depressed to know that every version ends up running across a star 😂 (there’s also another reason for her sadness that I won’t disclose now) but I think she’d come across as unintentionally standoffish/not really approachable

That one with Ceph’s nanny is also true but you guys have no idea just how hardcore she is- like no kidding. She put up with a Ceph that was more menacing than what Asha knows and far less friendly and she made something out of him lol. There’s gotta be an award for that, right?

Ceph: I’m getting new lawyers.

Asha would say that if she realized the possibility that she had a crush on Ceph (like the self shame would be INSANE)

Someone screenshot the last meme too lol I can’t say much but someone is in for a very nasty surprise

[thisnameisnotspokenfor]

If Asha and Ceph were to meet other Disney/DreamWorks/Pixar characters,who would they get along with the least to the best?

Would Asha adore Hiccup's inventions?

I got this idea from thinking how toothless would react to ceph's true form.

On a side note

Which would Asha prefer,the assassins or her monthly.

And who would win Ceph's insanity or Baymax's care

Also who would win in a fashion debate between Edna Mode and Ceph?

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen a dreamworld movie so I’ll do Disney

((WARNING THIS IS LONG))

In terms of other Disney characters especially heroines I think Asha would get along not so well with Merida and maybe Aurora. Merida is sort of a frenemy. Merida breaks rules and societal expectations while Asha adheres too them a bit too much. Merida turned to magic to solve her problems- Asha hates that. So they’d probably be a little uncool with each other at times which ngl would be sorta funny because I imagine that Asha is unfortunately the only person in the joke who flat out understands Merida says. But I think they’d probably tolerate each other for the most part.

As for Aurora well I think Asha would understand her being upset at her life being suddenly uprooted but I mean considering Asha is a peasant if you ever wanna annoy her just be a princess who cries over having to be royal. She’ll politely tune you out in a heartbeat.

I think she’d be neutral on Anna. Not in a bad way. They’re on two completely different ends of the spectrum in everything.

I feel like she’d be torn over Elsa. Really torn.

Not sure how she’d get along with Raya tbh.

I think she’d respect Cinderella a lot- especially when Asha gains some more retrospective skills. (I’ll go into more detail about this in the future)

She’d get along super well with Mirabel, Kida, Snow White, Mulan, Rapunzel and Tiana. Works for her dreams like Tiana (with skepticism in the magic part), she’s uncovering her people’s past for the betterment of their society like Kida, relates to the chores/hardwork and admires Snow White’s good spirit and Mirabel? Goodness these two would be therapy buddies. They’ve both been the black sheep of their respective groups by not being born with magical abilities to serve the purpose of the authoritative figure who uses magic to rebuild a society and is paranoid of the past repeating itself.

I feel like she’d also get along well with Moana too! They both love sailing, and pushing boundaries. She thinks Moana is super clever as well

((I feel like her and rapunzel have a lot in common too- the authoritative figure in their life belittling them, and wanting to chase their dreams so they’d probably be close as well))

Asha would love Hiccups inventions! (I admit I’ve never seen how to train your dragon)

Uhh Toothless don’t look at that…you don’t want to see that….

And to answer your questions:

Asha is taking her monthly over the assassins.

Ceph is not openly insane to people he doesn’t know. So if anything if he met Baymax he’d act like a normal person at first (he’d be very curious about just what Baymax is)

That last one is a tough one. I mean Edna was spitting some facts but let’s be honest- If any of those things- getting sucked into a tornado, a plane engine, a rocket/bomb, etc happened to Ceph. He’d walk it off.

So they’d be at an impasse because I can’t see either side relenting and this is probably the only thing that even magnifico would side with Cepheus on.

Star clothes is different from earth clothes in SO MANY ways (supernatural properties, they’re very resilient, they change to match the sky etc). So the best outcome is for Ceph to just give her some star clothes and she lets him keep his cape.

Hopefully.

I might do a separate post on how Ceph would interact with other characters.

[thisnameisnotspokenfor]

What's Asha's thoughts on alchemy since its a mix of science and magical components/ingredients?

Did Ceph vist other countries/kingdoms when he was shooed away by a hated-by-birds prince? After all he knows what a giraffe and vulture are.

And Ceph gives me a similar vibe to him with a mix of peter pan

Jack frost

Danny Phantom

And Howl

(PS. Is Cephs hair dyeable?)

Asha dislikes alchemy- she thinks it’s science but poorly credited. she tolerates it more than astrology though so she can….live with it for the most part.

Nah Ceph never want that far when they were separated! After all he watched Asha board the boat and followed her from there.

He knows what giraffes/vultures are because some of the planets he visits/reside have on animals. Plus I think the cerulean and gold court kept extensive records of earth creatures!

Ceph’s hair is dyeable but he’s usually not gonna dye it- he can just change it with a simple thought to save money/time.

((Ceph’s inspos is gonna be very funny nearing the end of the story if I’m being honest. I think he has the most in common with howl who sorta reminds me of Peter Pan (book howl that is) ))

Me: Please Wishing Star give all my period cramps to Magnifico because that would be so, so funny.

Working on it!

Art done by: @tiredmiddlechild

[thisnameisnotspokenfor]

How did Amaya look at Charo and thought to herself that he would make a good pet? The same way she saw Magnifico? Looking like a pathetic drenched rat in an alleyway ,cat in this case?

What countries are the nearest to Rosas and what countries are their trading partners? What fashion is seen the most in each section from east to west?

And most of all,how do the nobles earn their money? like how?

Julian's family I understand but the others? How large is the economic divide of the noble and peasants if Asha's family couldn't even afford one servant? Or part-time workers?!

How close are the seven with each other? Feels like Dahlia is a bit strained with some of them. I won't say names but *Achoo* And some of them seem awkward with some since Nacho joined. I feel as though some of them are keeping secrets. Looking at you Bazeema.

On side note,I find Dario enjoyable as he's such a wild card and does not know what's happening most of the time while simultaneously knowing too much that either counts or not in a situation a lot of the time.

PS. I like Ceph as much as I like Australia.

Amaya is a very sympathetic person lol maybe too sympathetic (that magnifico drag is INSANE tho 😂🤣🤣🤣 wow I think he’s actually dead)

Geographically I wanna say their closest countries is probably France, Portugal and Spain? Their trading partners are (Disney logic time folks) Arendelle, Corona, France and Agrabah. East part of Rosa’s is a lot like new York in that it’s home to a ton of different people all over the world so there’s no ‘set’ fashion standard there other than say everyone avoiding the color purple. West is more Mediterranean aka the style that’s native to Rosa’s itself.

Nobles earn money through either inheritance, court politics (earning favor with the king so that he gives them some political power) or they run successful businesses. For example Camilla’s family owned a bunch of inns all over the western part of Rosa’s. Many nobles run businesses abroad too but had to go through the clariveaus if they wanted connections/permission (hence why the clariveaus are currently not missed)

The economic divide is still there and kinda big for what you’d call ‘utopian’ but I don’t think it’s as vastly wide as you’d see in other countries.

What Asha does not know or failed to mention is the fact that her grandfather is rather open about his hatred of the king.

Everyone knows it, and everyone knows it would be unwise to associate with someone like that when if you want to move up in life you pretty much need the king’s favor. So they probably just up their hiring prices and whatnot.

The whole thing was to show/point towards how the disconnect Asha feels isn’t exclusive to her but rather her entire family. And I mean isn’t it a little strange how after all that service and work Tomas gave the king the king couldn’t even give his surviving grieving family a noble title?

((Idk if those are thorough explanations but I do hope they’ve answered your question!))

The seven are actually five in this universe! They are pretty close with each other but things definitely got strained when nachos left (you’ll find out why!) they’re all torn over Asha tbh. She’s the one thing they can’t or rather won’t agree on.

Lol *bazeema hides*

Im glad you like my Darío! He’s pretty fun to write!

Ayo?! You like Ceph as much as Australia?! What’s that supposed to mean?! 😂😂😂

[thisnameisnotspokenfor]

How does schools work in Rosas because Asha joined when she was 12? Did she have an assigned tutor with Dahlia? Because it finally set in to me how young she semi-left her family to work for the king.

Another thing is the legal age for which people work there that are not apprenticeships?

On a side note, Amaya is so damn mysterious,more mysterious than the cult lady. Like there are so few things about her personally known,that isn't connected to either uncle and nephew,like her visiting schools,major dislike for mirrors and that her presence is lesser kinda in the story, ominously so. It keeps itching in my mind ESPECIALLY when she was protective of Nacho chip in the Julian in the dungeon like there was a glimpse there of something very unsettling.

This is sorta where reality (history) has inspired the story.

I believe that in Rosas school is mandatory up until the age of 12. Once the child hits twelve then they are offered the choice to pursue a path to either further their education or learn a trade (the northern part of Rosas is where the academies/educational institutions reside and where most twelve year olds will go if they want to continue their education)

HOWEVER- the family also has the choice to end their kid's education at 12 so the kid can help out in the family business or farm, etc. Tomas tried to discourage this by eventually convincing the king to make education more accessible to the lower classes of Rosas.

For the royal apprentices- most of them came to the castle way before they'd turn 12- they came as soon as their families discovered their powers and the king caught wind of it. There he gifted the families noble titles and wealth in exchange for the apprentices' service. Of course they did have private tutors educating them in-between their apprenticeship work.

Dahlia also was given the opportunity to continue her education via a private tutor as the queen did employ her (once she saw how much the prince seemed to 'like' her food) and Asha was also given the opportunity to continue her education (Imma be honest Asha was a different twelve year old- doing/knowing astrophysics and physics etc)

HHHMMM I do like how you've spoken about Amaya tho, she is very mysterious though- (the nickname nacho chip is so cute tho XD <3)

[thisnameisnotspokenfor]

What are citizens of Rosas called in your au?

Rosasin?

Rosasian?

Rosasan?

Rosasene?

Sorry,if it was already mentioned in the fic and I probably forgot about it.

Nah you’re good! They’ve never explicitly stated it but I think they’d be called

Rosarians

It’s dumb I know lol but it’s the best I got
