@pumpkinpie59 yeah, she deserves a comeback. Goodness knows we need another Asian martial arts girlboss that isnāt just Karai for the billionth time.
I actually had an idea inspired by the mirage comics that Karai is an adult in the MM universe and Lotus is her daughter (of course her real name is Hana-Ren. Lotus is her ninja codename).
If thereās any other possibilities youād like to share, leave it In the replies pls!
If thereās any more I missed, please write in the replies!
Uhm excuse me where the hell is my child Venus and also Jennika and Lita? O_o
I vote either Angel or Mona or Karai.
I voted for Mona Lisa but Iād also loved to see Casey Jones, Karai, Irma and Lotus Blossom!
Wait.... there's gonna be a CARTOON ??????
Yeah, itās called āTales of the TMNTā and itās coming out of Paramount+ in April.
Btw, in your rewrite, what kind of relationship will Asha and star have?
they are besties :3 (tho maybeeee Iāll make em a QPR Iām not 100% sure yet but I do know Iām not making them full on romantic)
Yeah, I think it would be nice if you kinda left it open to interpretation, though it would be nice to have a Disney heroine with an androgynous nb love interest.
But Iād love to see more of their dynamic in your art they are so cuteā¤ļøšš
Hey, idk if you elaborated about this in your last post, but whatās magnifico like in your rewrite? What about his backstory and motivations are changed?
honestly Iāve not delved into his past too much yet so Iād love any suggestions or ideas! But so far for the rewrite the key things Iāve changed are as follows:
1: has more of a slow burn nature to his villain reveal + no unexplained evil book magic possession bc that was stupid and forced LET HIM BE A VILLAIN NATURALLY AND LET HIM BE SYMPATHETIC AT ONCE YOU CAN DO BOTH !! (BUT him getting star magic basically acts as a substitute for the evil book as a climactic set piece)
2: he doesnāt forcefully take wishes bc yes heās evil but lets not make it THAT obvious youknow? So in the rewrite people willingly give up their wishes when life gets too hard and their dreams get crushed etc so it makes sense why heād promise to protect and keep them safe if said wishes are already vulnerable to harm, and makes sure they can have those goals ACTUALLY get a chance of happening, AND this helps make the amnesia thing more fitting like they forget their pain/worries as he said in the movie except thatās more fitting now in this context, ALSO SPEAKING OF I think the amnesia should be kingdom wide because like whatās stopping someone else who knew your wish to tell it to you?? So everyone forgets a wish if itās given up, just makes more sense logically and has slight more angst potential that way
3: uses dark magic from the start rather than him like using it as a last resort, because it helps build him as a threat with the fact that āoh shit he can do things magic wise that even a fucking cosmic god (star) canāt doā (I mean star is young but itās still a huge deal/can be a little mystery for a bit regardless)
4: MAKE HIM SERVE CUNT MAKE HIM A SLUT HE NEEDS THAT GAY CODED SWAG HE NEEDS TO BE BOMBASTIC AND FUN WHILE ASLO BEING LIKE SCARY TOO GRAHHHH
anyway yeah basically just Iām trying to lean on the lying/manipulative/power hungry aspect of him!! But as I said Iām not 100% sure on motives outside of aforementioned power hungriness and Iām not sure on how to mess with the backstory to make it less vague/give more clear motivations to him so if anyone wants to help brainstorm feel free!
U actually had an idea on his backstory/motivations:
When Magnifico was young, growing up in a life of poverty where he had nothing, he wished for on the brightest star, (the second star to the right which would be a Peter Pan reference), which happened to be the leader of the stars. It came down to him in a blue fairy-esque fashion, only for him to capture them and trap them within a mirror/gem that he eventually crafts into a staff. He forced them to grant his wish to become a powerful king of a perfect kingdom. This caused a large prosperous kingdom known as Rosas to spring up in less than a year, which is presented as THE magical kingdom itself. Magnifico still has the star leaders trapped inside his staff, making it seem as if he has the ability to grant the kingdom eternal happiness and prosperity. The people of Rosas appear content and happy, crime and discourse is virtually unknown. Itās a seemingly perfect kingdom on the surface.
If you are making Asha the daughter of the royal couple please do not whitewash her background. Either the king or queen have to be black. Preferably the queen just be Sakina straight up
Dw, sheās still very much black in my rewrite, with the box braids and everything. Iām just redesigning the king and queen to have more melanin. It can just be explained by Genetics are crazy and thatās why she looks slightly darker than her parents.
