Wish Upon A Star: Plot Breakdown (Wish Rewrite Project)

It starts out practically the same as the original, except Asha is telling the origin story of Rosas to Valentino, who is her familiar, as she’s already Magnifico’s apprentice. (Asha has the rare ability to talk to animals.)

Welcome To Rosas is sung from the citizens’ POV and is generally very upbeat, with them all singing the praises of Magnifico and Amaya. It becomes a little sad towards the end, as Asha gets her own verse about how she feels like her magical powers make her an outcast and even though she has the privilege of being Magnifico’s successor, she still longs to fit in with everyone else.

Magnifico is introduced, rushing about and getting everything ready for the ceremony, with a number of well-meaning but clumsy servants providing a little comic relief.

When Amaya is introduced, along with her pet Sphinx cat (haven’t thought of a name for him yet), she’s shown to be a vain and jealous woman, envious of all the positive attention her husband receives from the kingdom. She always pretends to be innocent whenever Magnifico or Asha is around, although Valentino can sense something off about her, frequently getting into scuffles with the cat. (Haven’t figured out what sort of animal familiar Magnifico will have yet.)

Asha is incredibly excited, as this is the first time she’ll be partaking in the wish-granting ceremony. Magnifico also lets her see the wishes for the very first time, reminding her that she’ll soon be responsible for all of them.

Much like in the original, Asha and Magnifico argue about their different viewpoints on granting all of the wishes vs only granting some of them.

Asha, in an act of defiance, decides to grant a wish that Magnifico didn’t approve of at the ceremony and it predictably ends in disaster. Asha feels deeply ashamed of what she’s done and the fact that she let down her mentor and her future kingdom.

She runs away in the middle of the night, with Valentino by her side. Singing This Wish, Asha looks up at the stars, recalling the days when she was younger, when Magnifico used to tell her all sorts of wonderful stories about them and the ancient magic they hold. She basically prays for guidance, for someone to understand her and to help make amends.

In a blaze of light, a star descends from the sky. The people of Rosas are amazed and excited. Magnifico, on the other hand, is terrified of the blinding light, as it triggers a flashback to when his home was destroyed. Even in such a vulnerable state, he still worries about Asha.

Asha finds herself face to face with a handsome young man with bright eyes and glowing golden hair. They’re both fascinated by one another and when Asha asks him who he is, he explains that he’s a star. Both Asha and Star are, well, starstruck, even more so when Asha finds out that Star can understand Valentino. She thought she was the only one and as they travel through the forest, Asha feels comforted, knowing that she’s not alone.

Meanwhile, Queen Amaya is secretly delighting in all the chaos that’s been happening. She sees this as the perfect opportunity to steal the limelight from both Magnifico and Asha. She conspires to essentially poison Magnifico against his apprentice, wanting all his attention to be on her and nobody else, even though it’s already been established that Magnifico loves her deeply and hasn’t been neglecting her at all.

Amaya’s evil monologue is interrupted by Magnifico, who confides in her about how worried he is and how he feels like he’s losing control of the situation. “I can’t find an answer in any of my books!” “Well, there is one you haven’t tried…yet.” Amaya refers to the grimoire. Magnifico is horrified at the prospect of using it, but Amaya just laughs it off as a joke, pretending that she’d never consider using it. Magnifico decides to take his best knights with him to the forest to find out what’s going on and bring Asha home.

Meanwhile, in the forest. Asha and Star are learning more about one another, with Star being incredibly curious about the human world in the same way that Ariel is in The Little Mermaid. When Asha speaks so highly of Rosas, Star wants to travel to the kingdom and see it for himself, but Asha sadly explains how she messed things up at the ceremony and how she feels like she can’t go back. Star comforts her and assures her that everyone makes mistakes and the important thing is that she learned from it. They dance around the forest and sing At All Costs. Their magic combines and spreads throughout the forest, making everything beautifully vibrant and colourful and giving humans and animals the ability to understand each other.

Magnifico and his knights come across the beams of magic and are initially frightened, with Magnifico trying not to panic, but the talking animals assure him that they won’t hurt him. They can tell he’s got a lot weighing on his mind and sing I’m A Star to cheer him up. Magnifico calms down and feels safe, realising that he doesn’t need to be afraid of something he doesn’t understand.

Meanwhile, back at Rosas, trouble is stirring. Queen Amaya, after going through her villainous plan with her cat and Dahlia (who has been her long-suffering maid for most of the story) in the form of This Is The Thanks I Get?, has decided to address the people and is using the dark magic from her grimoire to corrupt the citizens, turning them against Magnifico and Asha.

Admittedly I got a bit stuck here, but essentially Magnifico is forced to return to Rosas, only to find the people up in arms and determined to dethrone him. He turns to Amaya for help and she lies to him, telling him that Asha was the cause of the anarchy, that the people never loved or trusted him. When he asks her if she does, the evil queen simply laughs in his face, breaking his heart. Magnifico tries to stand his ground, but Amaya targets all of his insecurities, including the fact that he never had his wish granted (his wish for a child). Magnifico falls into despair and Amaya has him possessed by the grimoire.

Asha, Star and Valentino return to Rosas, determined to set things right, only to be greeted with a sight of ruin and despair. Dahlia, who has managed to sneak away from Amaya, hides the trio in a secret room, where she explains what’s happening and they all resolve to save Magnifico and the citizens from Amaya, while singing Knowing What I Know Now.

Dahlia briefly mentions that the evil spell Magnifico’s trapped in can only be broken by true love. At first, all seems to be lost, but then Asha realises something; it doesn’t have to be romantics love that breaks the spell. It can be familial love, too. She basically has an epiphany, realising that not only is Magnifico the father she always needed, but that she’s also basically his daughter. In other words, his wish was granted without him even realising it. This revelation gives her and her companions a new burst of courage.

Star uses his shapeshifting abilities to confuse/distract the castle guards as the heroes try to locate Magnifico and Amaya. They are unfortunately captured and taken to the tower, where the final battle takes place.

The possessed Magnifico attacks Asha, who fends him off with Star’s help and tries to get through to him. Amaya traps Star inside the mirror-topped magic staff. Just when all seems to be lost, Asha sings a reprise of This Wish, as she explains to Magnifico that his wish was granted. Amaya’s arrogance crumbles as she sees the spell weakening. Magnifico breaks free from Amaya’s control, Star is released from the mirror and Amaya is pulled into it, vanishing forever.

The people of Rosas are freed and everyone rejoices. Magnifico and Asha reconcile, admitting they were wrong and accepting that they’ve both still got a lot to learn from one another. Asha and Star embrace, while Magnifico has a proud dad moment.

At the very end, Star is asked what he could possibly wish for and he replies that he wishes to be human. He’d rather spend a finite life with Asha than be immortal and alone. Magnifico grants Star’s wish, then passes the mantle of Wish Granter to Asha. Star and Asha kiss and Magnifico concludes the narration that opened the film, saying: “And we all lived happily, ever after.”

“When toxic behavior is portrayed as romantic, it’s problematic. When problematic behavior is portrayed as a character flaw for a character to work through, it’s good storytelling.”

Katsuki Bakugou, my friends.

His behavior was problematic but never once portrayed as romantic at the same time. Katsuki said and did awful abusive things, and he also chose to be better when he was given the chance. If you’re still hung up on chapter 1 Katsuki now then I don’t think you’ve been reading the same story I have.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not shipping Izuku with an irredeemable abuser. I’m shipping him with his most important person. His narrative foil. His childhood friend who made awful mistakes and then made it right when he saw he was wrong. The person Izuku looks up to and strives to emulate, despite their past struggles.

Bakudeku is so good because of how flawed these boys are, and how hard they’ve worked to get over it, and how much they matter to each other after it all

moral of s10: don’t let memories haunt you, obsession drives people to madness

moral of s13: war isn’t black and white, people are multifaceted, you need to have trust and you need to care for the people you work with

moral of s14: please write fanfiction about our series

Some of my thoughts, do you relate?

You ever feel like you’re tricking or manipulating people into liking you? Like you believe you’re bad and ugly on the inside and need to expose it?

You can never be honest enough no matter what? Like you need to give every little detail and yet no matter how much you retell the truth it’s never enough?

You ever feel obsessed with the truth? Not just your story but everyone and everywhere too.

Injustices give you rage like when you see someone getting hurt you’re raging over it and desperately trying to help them no matter the cost it has on you? You don’t care if it fucking ends you, you’ll help no matter what? Like seeing bystanders makes you fill with rage, like how could they fucking just stand there and let something happen? Feeling like you don’t care what abuse, torture or anything you’d go through, you’d help the vulnerable no matter what.

As much as I want the victims of fire nation imperialism to receive their justice, I think it’d be a way better storytelling route if the fire nation’s war crimes were swept under the rug just as bad as japan’s crimes were

[rowan-guerrins]

people on tiktok well on all social media sites actually will loudly critique the fact some people (especially those who only watched the movies) “didn’t get the point of the hunger games” and then turn around and say gale is the worst person in the universe and treat him like he’s a monster, and that all these traits are innate characteristics completely isolated from the circumstances in which he lived and the people around him. like girlie i think maybe YOU didn’t get the point here either.

I have… lots of thoughts on milsiril and kabru and the commentary on mixed-race family/adoption, in particular white parents with children of color. I think it’s really cool kui incorporated this into the story because lots of (particularly white) people just think adoption is this pure altruistic thing and don’t think about the negative affects it has on kids (again, kids of color) to not have people of their own culture to grow up with.

The Enemies to Lovers Clause: A fictional relationship that falls under the category of enemies to lovers must demonstrate an established relationship between the two parties outside of their status as enemies in order to make a credible argument against it, on the basis of abuse or the romanticisation of abuse. If the wrongdoing, (ex. physical violence, slander, insults, psychological manipulation, etc.) occurred while both parties were enemies, it’s fair game. However, if the wrongdoing occurs during the relationship (ex. Friendship, marriage, lovers) then you can make a plausible case for it.

Hi op o//

Bad doesn't have to scream and act all crazy. He didn't scream and yell back home to get everyone's attention and concern on different issues and situations. What has changed? Nothing but what some mysterious figure has to say. Bads actions and tactics have been sporadic. And no one is going to actually listen to someone who clearly has no control or can't be trusted.

Yes I'm a red pov but I want all eggs and parents to make it back home. Yes "win no matter what" but then what??

Also, also.. if blue is the cursed team or they believe themselves cursed I need for them act on that. Toby brushed off Phil's concerns, calling it all a game. Is it though? Eggs and life is at stake and not one egg or resident life is above all. It's clear this eye figure is watching them and they doing exactly what he wants..

Overall I need all three teams to think of the next team.. they are all in this together. So work together. These incentives sound nice but are they?

Sorry for the essay. I believe in bad, just don't fully understand what he's doing

I can say from a Bbh main that qBad screams and yells A LOT MORE than you think, he is not doing well mentally and hasn’t for a long time before purgatory, (he had an entire psychotic episode that lasted about two hours), he strategizes a lot here and that’s all he really has got going for him. He’s paranoid and tries to plan ahead, he’s average at pvp. He wants to talk to people more and theorize about things, he’s desperate for friends and to talk to people and hang out here, he’s aware that people don’t trust him. Before purgatory he wanted that, wanted no one close to him and wanted everyone to hate him. And like I said no one has to believe him or let up on hunting and killing him, I just want others to know what Dapper said. And yeah, his tactics haven’t been the best, and that’s partially due to the self harm he’s been doing with the vultures, he has infected blood and open wounds, including a gash on the side of his head, he’s NOT thinking clearly! He also canonically has not been sleeping since the eggs disappeared. He’s slept once since then, that was after his psychotic episode.

The blue team has wanted to talk to others about the cursed stuff, unfortunately it’s gotten interrupted everytime they’ve brought it up, it’s gotten interrupted even when they try to talk to each other about it, it’s really unfortunate timing XD

I do want all teams to work together but right now conflicts can and will get in the way with individual people and that causes whole teams to target each other
