“neil is living in andrew’s walls” this is going to live in my brain forever now, much like neil in andrew’s walls,
listen i wrote those tags when i was half asleep and i thought that would be it but i am, in fact, still thinking about it !!!! i picture it like this
nicky and the twins live together in the columbia house (kevin technically doesn't live there but he's at their place like 5 nights a week so he might as well at this point)
the columbia house is OLD, like over 100 years so there's all sorts of weird crawl spaces and an attic that no one ever goes into
neil's on the run, jumps into an open window, and finds their crawl space
maybe he's injured and needs a place to lie low for a while
he heals, but their house is reasonably safe and he can steal food from their kitchen when no one's home and he's made a kind of comfy nest in the attic
his favorite spot tho is the crawl space behind andrew's room because nicky and aaron are too loud (nicky with talking to erik and aaron with katelyn/video games probably). andrew just listens to music and like. reads or something
as he heals, neil gets braver and starts to go out into the house more and more. maybe he cleans up the kitchen every now and then or he folds the towels they leave in the dryer as a thank you for their unknowing hospitality
(really he's just bored from being cooped up for so long, even if their house is the nicest place he's stayed in a long while.)
the cousins start to notice weird things are happening
nicky thinks the house is haunted
aaron thinks they're all just being forgetful about what they leave around the house
kevin thinks they need to check the carbon monoxide detector (he saw a documentary about it once and won't stop talking about it)
but andrew doesn't believe in the supernatural, and he also doesn't think it's a mass hallucination
he spends the most time at home, and he swears he's heard a muffle laugh or too when he makes fun of kevin
and what ghost changes the channel to espn
he swears he sees someone with striking blue eyes in the kitchen one night around 3am when he's getting a glass of water but when he turns on the light there's no one there and the doors are locked from the inside
kevin's not the only one who's seen a documentary, and andrew's just watched one about a man living in someone's walls
he mentions his theory one day at breakfast but everyone just thinks he's making fun of them, so he makes a plan to prove himself right
he researches into the history of the house and find the blueprints in some archival records, and sees the weird spaces in the walls (at the library of course, if there was someone living in his walls he wouldn't risk them seeing his investigating)
neil thought he was being careful, but he was getting comfortable there and he forgot to clean up his attic nest one day. he snuck out to grab some much needed supplies from the store and also to stretch his legs
this just so happens to be the day andrew goes investigating, and finds neil's hideaway
he's there waiting for neil when he returns
somehow neil convinces andrew to let him stay by saying "you've already taken in one stray after all (aka kevin) so why not another?"
andrew has to admit, he's got a point. and he really is very pretty
so andrew lets neil hideout in his room instead of in the crawl space behind the walls
andrew starts spending a lot more time in his room. the others hear strange noises and shuffling from behind the door, even when andrew isn't home
nicky and aaron think he's adopted a pet without telling them
(they're only half wrong)
yadda yadda andriel do their thing, they build trust by sharing secrets and truths and kisses, etc
andrew decides that neil is a permanent addition to his life, and he won't ever have to hide away again
one day nicky and aaron come home and andrew's cuddling on the couch with neil
"andrew, who is this"
"this is neil."
"cool ... where did he come from"
"he was living in the walls."
"... i'm sorry, what?"
"i was right. you both owe me $20"
"...i'm sorry, WHAT?"
"ssshhh, can you keep it down? he just fell asleep."
"Andrew. what the actual FUCK-"
unfortunately, andrew is no longer paying attention. he's much too busy playing with neil's hair as he dozes
and they all lived happily ever after and no body ever lived in the walls ever again

Plotpoints I would change/add in Wish
(Becaus that fact that it ended up being an average movie keeps bugging me)
SPOILERS
Make Star a dude again, like really his concept art is amazing
Make Magnifico a star
Hear me out with this one (thank you Shrek 2 for the inspiration) . Once upon a time lived little girl named Amara who had a loving family and lived in a lovely community. Her parents were friends with his wonderful couple that could not have kids so one day she wished upon a star for them to have son and she promised to be their best friend forever and that she would always be by their side. The cosmos heard and a star fell from the sky this being a little Magnifico. Fairytale shinenigans ensue and everybody is living peacefully, until pitates/thieves/ the huns (?) Attack. As everything is going down in chaos and fire people are praying and wishing. This overwhelms Magnifico whose origin was a wish granting star and a gigant explosion happens, villains defeated but athe cost of their community (both from the villains and the outburst) Amara and Magnifico leave their land and start planning Rosa's. This is why Magnific would be a) so controlling over wishes as if they are fired in his direction another outburst could happen b) So panicked at the precense of Star, cuz he know what an unrestrained star can lead to.
Make Amara and Magnifico a full team for better or for worse, maybe Magnifico is getting corrupted by power, may be lean on both being uber controlling of their people boredline on a dictatorship idk but make them a great team
Make Asha a princess as in the daughter of Magnifico & Amara who doesn't love a good family conflict?
On this note this makes her rebellion basically a coup
Make Asha's original mom and dad her godparents Maybe she spent most of the time with them since her parent were busy running the kingdom
Make grandpa her God/Father's dad like the wise old man who tells stories and is a cinnamon roll.Heck maybe he took in little Amara and little Magnifico in after the destruction of their land.
Don't make Sleepy the traitor, if someone is going to snitch make it a bit more surprising, Dummy or Bashful are better candidates
Add more orchestra to the songs make them move you to tears , Like I am Moana, or more intimate like part of your world come on give me big demonstrations of music that only the mouse could pay
Reduce Valentinos role, or if he really has to be there give him a reason to be there other than comedy The little goat in Hunchback appeared on the original story and he is significantly less intrusive than Valentino
Keep the Easter eggs, no issues with that I kinda had fun spotting them.
Maybe I'll think of something more later but yeah. It has been bugging me.
