## Asha's Apprenticeship: Mastering Wishes and Mending the Multiverse (Post-Movie)

The movie ends with Asha becoming Rosas' new Fairy Godmother, wielding the Wishing Star's magic through a magical wand. Here's a look at what could happen after the film, weaving in the theory of a fractured multiverse:

**The Learning Curve: A Multiversal Challenge**

Asha's journey isn't over. Being a Fairy Godmother requires discipline and wisdom, especially with the potential for multiversal disruptions. Rosas, ever the supportive mentor, would guide Asha through the finer points of magic and wish-granting. However, the fractured Disney multiverse adds a new layer of complexity. Asha might encounter wishes with unexpected consequences, causing ripples across different Disney realities. Imagine a wish for more rain in Rosas accidentally triggering a drought in a world resembling Moana's island. Asha, with the Star's help, would need to learn to navigate these multiversal mishaps, becoming not just a Fairy Godmother but a guardian of the newly connected realities.

**Wishes with Responsibility: Teaching Rosas and Beyond**

One of Asha's biggest challenges would be teaching the townsfolk about responsible wishing, even more so with the potential for multiversal consequences. They witnessed the chaos unleashed by unrestricted wishes, so Asha would need to emphasize careful thought and clear intentions. This could involve establishing guidelines or rituals for wish-making, ensuring wishes align with personal growth and not just immediate desires. Asha might even create a magical educational program, perhaps featuring animated sequences depicting cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong across different Disney worlds. These lessons could be crucial in preventing further multiversal mayhem.

**The Inter-Reality Council: Seeking Knowledge and Alliance**

Asha's quest to mend the multiverse wouldn't be a solo act. Valentino's cryptic comment about founding Zootopia hinted at his awareness of other Disney realities. Asha, with the Star by her side, could seek out Valentino and any other beings who possess knowledge of the multiverse. Together, they might form an Inter-Reality Council, a group dedicated to understanding the fractures and finding ways to restore balance. This council could include familiar Disney characters from various realities, each offering unique perspectives and expertise. Imagine a wise old Merlin (The Sword in the Stone) sharing insights on ancient magic, or a resourceful Pocahontas (Pocahontas) teaching survival skills from a world teetering on environmental collapse. The council would become a valuable resource for Asha, providing not just knowledge but also potential allies in her quest.

**The Case of the Curious Creatures: Restoring Balance Across Realities**

The Wishing Star mentioned missing constellations. Asha might discover these constellations aren't just celestial patterns—they're magical creatures who maintain balance not just in Rosas, but across the fractured Disney multiverse. Perhaps a constellation representing courage is weakened, leading to a string of cowardly acts in a world resembling the Hundred Acre Wood (Winnie the Pooh). Asha, guided by the council and wielding the Star's magic, would embark on quests to different realities to restore these creatures. These journeys would not only teach Asha valuable lessons about the interconnectedness of magic and the natural world but also mend the tears in the multiverse, restoring balance and fostering a sense of unity across diverse Disney realities.

**Facing a Reformed Magnifico? A Potential Multiversal Ally**

King Magnifico, trapped in the Magic Mirror, could become an unlikely ally, especially if the multiverse is truly fractured. He might offer insights into forbidden magic in exchange for a chance at redemption, hinting at knowledge of powerful spells that could help mend the multiverse. Asha would face a moral dilemma – does she trust the former villain and risk further chaos, or is his knowledge the key to restoring balance? This could lead to a storyline where Asha helps Magnifico break free from the mirror, but only if he proves his commitment to good deeds and assists in mending the fractured realities. Magnifico's reformed persona could be a source of amusement, with his flamboyant personality clashing with Asha's more serious demeanor. However, his knowledge of magic and his potential understanding of the multiverse, gained from his time as a twisted sorcerer, could prove invaluable.

**The Star's Redemption: A Guide Through the Multiverse**

The Wishing Star, despite its mischievous nature, showed a desire to do good. Asha could work on strengthening its control over its powers, helping it understand the true purpose of wishes and the potential dangers of recklessness. Their bond could deepen as they learn from each other, the Star evolving from a trickster to a source of positive change and a valuable guide through the fractured Disney multiverse. The Star's chaotic energy might even prove an asset in navigating the unpredictable nature of these interconnected realities. Imagine the Star, with its boundless enthusiasm, leading Asha on whirlwind tours through different Disney worlds, encountering

when people respond to trans women who have something to say about what they've experienced or witnessed as a trans woman with "haha what do any of these words mean. anyone in this thread smoke weed. none of these words are in the Bible. wow sometimes I stumble across a corner of the internet I never thought possible. op go touch grass" it is 100% coming from a position of privilege rather than whatever holier than thou high IQ normalperson stance they think it is. you haven't seen this shit before because you have the privilege to not be targeted by lolcow forums or called a paraphile for being into bdsm. trans women, women of color, autists & schizos etc--especially if many of these intersect--often don't have the luxury to be ignorant to transmisogyny and racism and ableism, or to not be targeted by neonazis for simply having a blog, their ""neet status"" is irrelevant to these things actually. this shit isn't exclusively online for them! many irl queer groups end up dominated by privileged white transmisogynists maybe because that's the status fucking quo. maybe be fucking nice for once and listen to things women have to say. the amount of meanspirited replies I've seen towards women talking about shit they've personally experienced recently is grating. it costs nothing to be nice and mind your own business. you don't have to act like underprivileged groups are hysterical psychotic freaks who care too much.

Dev putting on/taking off his shades is actually such a good analogy for masking/unmasking! Him getting more and more comfortable around Hazel and taking his shades off because of that is just so poignant to me

yeah im a vampiyah!!! can i bite ya*

*at your own risk

[vero-niche]

can i just say how much i adore how Nao-chan's gender is treated so casually in skip to loafer

like, as a white cis woman who is also quite tall and havent read the manga i didnt even realize she was trans until this scene in ep2:

and i didnt even have the time to get nervous how they would handle this as they already moved on, ignoring the comments (just like queer people learn to do so) except for Mitsumi's comforting touch (implying she also heard the comments):

and there were no sad words or anything about this either, it was just handled so.... normally. which should not be something worth highlighting, but, well, you know. also on that note, special shoutout to P.A. Works for casting a woman as her voice actor as well.

she's shown being the supportive and lively aunt and like seconds later in this scene she's back to being her usual self again:

I don't feel like people have a nuanced enough view of Kory what she thinks about killing. She's not blindly wanting to murder criminals, nor is she delighted by the actions of murder. She sees murder as a necessity because of her upbringing in the middle of an existential war, and also as a way to regain autonomy on her life. Autonomy is a key theme in many of the people Kory chooses to kill.

The idea of autonomy over the body and her life is extremely important to Kory. This makes sense, Kory spends six years in slavery, her life not her own, and grew up knowing her planet could lose its own autonomy and freedom at any time.

When she was a slave, the few times that she was able to control her life in those times. Her first kill was her kill of what would become her last master, starting the chain of domino that would result in her freedom.

Note her words: "His very touch sickened me". It wasn't just about her imprisonment or her anger, but about her body, her autonomy. She couldn't handle being touched like that anymore, and killed knowing that it would solve nothing, knowing that it would lead to more punishment for her later down the line.

Her next kill allowed her to escape, securing her freedom and her own autonomy.

To escape she must pretend Kory has completely given in to her captors. That she is fine, even happy with the Gordonian touching her. But by doing this she is bringing him close, giving him the illusion of control over herself to secure her own freedom.

She is pretending to be a slave, while affirming to herself that she is still a soldier.

In this way we can see a dichotomy that has ruled Kory's life until now. On one side, you have succumbing to subjugation, which involved a loss of bodily autonomy. On the other side you had her claiming her freedom and her autonomy which comes with the need to kill or be destroyed.

In addition to this, you need to think of the context of Kory's upbringing. Of course Kory is used to killing her enemies. She grew up in a climate of fear in which there was a real possibility of total annihilation. Millions of her people died in the war that eventually lead her to being sold as a slave.

She grew up during a society that could have been destroyed in war, where everyday killing was not a questions but an existential threat. Killing and war was literally the only way for her people to conserve their autonomy.

This disconnect between Dick/Donna and Kory is not because Kory is an alien, but because the Titans are living in a world where they are superheroes and Kory is living in a world where she is a solider. Would a Kory that didn't kill even been able to come out alive from war? From her enslavement? To her its about her autonomy and her independence, she doesn't have the luxury of morals, of thought, of choice.

Later we see Kory not change, but shift. She realizes that killing will never be easier for her again.

This makes sense! her interpretation of killing has changed a lot because she's been exposed to a new environment. On earth she is not facing a literal war, she has real power, she has backup, she doesn't have to fight every second for her freedom and autonomy.

I think this is demonstrated in an incredibly narrative compelling way in Titans (1999) when Kory kills to give another character autonomy over her own body; Adaline Kane. Adaline is about to die, but her blood can still be harvested for Vandal Savage's experiments. She begs for death, instead of living that fate.

Kory gives it to her.

(much like Slade gave Joey in Titans Hunt but this post only has the space for one parallel right now)

When it comes to protecting the greater good, and especially when it comes to bodily autonomy Kory is not only willing to kill, but sees it as her duty.

She's never stopped being a soldier, she's never stopped being the Tamaranian who was forced to kill and see her people die to preserve her home, but more than that, she never stopped being the little girl for whom killing was her only way of reclaiming her autonomy.

references from celebrimbor's life ( a memory that disguise itself as a vision ) :

1. maedhros and maglor, portrayed in a depiction most commonly seen of the brothers within fanworks.

2. horses and huan. celebrimbor confront his father before curufin move forward on his hunt for the silmarillis and luthien. huan was present with celegorm.

3. miriel, celebrimbor's great grandmother. she was known for her weaving and needlework.

easter eggs aside; i truly believe in the narrative sense, that the visuals presented here belongs to celebrimbor and suppose to mirror the life he had experienced and the Feast of Reuniting. perhaps a hidden desire within him that he wishes to keep his family under a different light. not as a kinslayer but as a creator and an artists.

Charles' thing is that he wants to feel alive and that's part of the reason why he decided to never move on to the afterlife right? Meanwhile Edwin thinks Charles will move on and that he'll be alone again because 'he isn't good with people'.

But then when the Night Nurse shows up a second time Charles is ready to go wherever -including Hell- as long as Edwin shouldn't have to go back there, meanwhile Edwin refuses that they be split up, and both are okay with being sent together to the Lost and Found Department to be sorted out later as long as they're together-

Vettonso complaining about each other not respecting schrondinger's track limits on the radio compilation + Seb's commentary that made me a bit feral

Must include these sexy ass pics okay, it makes me feral how hard they race each other.

Also SO upset that we got this vid and there's also pictures(and presumably a vid out there somewhere) of Fernando, back then, ALSO debriefing this race. And yet we never got them together?????? Evil. Fucked up.

Imagine seeing them complaining about each other but also having to (begrudgingly if you're Fernando) compliment each other IN FRONT of each other. Maybe its a good thing it doesn't exist, bcs then I'd have a heart attack.

Disney, releasing Wish: "so it's all about legacy--the new generation surpassing the old, overcoming the evils perpetuated by them, relinquishing singular power... and there's an old man in a tower, uh... animal sidekick, i guess..., ah... magic...?

i think it's time for fandom to accept that some AUs are simply A Bad Idea. your lilo and stitch au with two white dudes is a bad idea. your portrait of a lady on fire au with men is a bad idea. your encanto au with a white family is a bad idea. culture and gender and race *matter* in many source texts, and erasing or appropriating that in order to see your two favourite white guys hug is, you guessed it, a bad fucking idea.

if i had a nickel for every time i played a remedy game that featured courtney hope’s character trying to get to a world-altering polyhedron in a universe where humans wear special harnesses to survive a world-ending threat, i’d have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's sure weird that it's happened twice

flipped version & process beneath the cut!

beth deserved so much better...please quantum break sequel where she's happy :) please remedy...the IP is worth it i promise I'LL fucking come back for her

THE EXPRWSSIONS HE HAS WHEN TALKING TO SCARAB HAS ME CRAZY the way they say so much with so little.

THIS IS YOUR SCARAB HATER??? From just a few frames he comes off as concerned in a caring way, how did we get to a point he's portrayed as an evil, abusive, narcissistic boss??

It's so clear that Orbo doesn't hate Scarab, I firmly believe he gets fed up because Scarab refuses to look outside of his own point of view and any attempt to bigger the picture with him falls on deaf ears, that he's more likely to listen under threats rather than just words he obviously doesn't care for.

(I DON'T AGREE with threatening or actually tearing his legs off, but it's to consider ORBO'S POTENTIAL POV. I feel that's more likely than him just being a huge asshole who hates him for some bs reason)
