alone at last // Wildefire Masterlist
can't say if this scene is an AU or not, because I'm still tinkering with where the story goes, but I really wanted to draw it.
After the team breaks a disgraced Uriah out of prison, they end up on the run again. Through an unfortunate turn of events, Uriah and Alexei end up stranded together, and Lex soon finds that while it feels good in the moment, trying to take physical vengeance against Uriah just makes him feel like shit.

*seen the movie, half asleep now*
.. echm..
I think they have the movie title wrong..
..it should have been Dreams.
Like, you know, the ones we see taken from people by Magnifico.. and let me explain why I think this concept make more sense, for what info they had given to us.
Exhibit a, the realistic ‘wish’.
You don’t WISH to inspire people. You know you can do it, but you also know, for people to listen to you, you’ll need to put your mind, heart and effort in the task. And even then, there are some who wouldn’t care. But you have to, because it’s you drive, it’s what you want, it’s what will make you feel whole. Your DREAM.
You don’t WISH to be the better artist/dress maker/baker, you work on your craft to get better and get results. In time, with effort and sacrifice, that will be worth your while when you finally grasp your DREAM.
If you decide to give away the will to do these things by yourself (things you CAN actually archieve as a normal human being) because you come to know there COULD be a easier way (by magically means) that effortlessly grant you the final prize..
..is not a WISH, is opportunistic laziness.
And maybe, (just maybe) you don’t really deserve to have that DREAM, since is not that precious to you that you feel the need to protect and fight for it, but instead you so easily decide to put it in someone else’s hands, (quite literally) given the chance, making THEM do the work.
Those are the realistic dreams, but there is another category: the unobtainable fantasy’s .
Exhibit b: to fly, you don’t WISH to fly.
We know, people give the ‘wish’ at 18 years of age, meaning you have awareness of being a human, with no magic, or anatomy feats for that to ever become a reality ( not has we see in the bubble anyway), no matter the effort you can put in it. As an adult you still could DREAM of flying.
A kid could wish to fly, because they are not yet grounded in reality so they could believe it could really happen if they have faith and be good enough.
Maybe a fairy, or a mage could grant that wish.. (but then there’s a fly on the wall and suddenly wish they could be a cat to catch it but it’s approaching bed time so now the wish changes again, now they could be a dragon to avoid bedtime.. and so on..)
I totally understand the need to put a minimum age limit.. it would have been a fucking nightmare.
But, to get to the point I’m making here:
most kids, don’t have yet the concept of what is potentially possible obtaining through effort and what is physically unarchievable, so they could WISH for literally anything.
But ALL the ‘wish’ given to Magnifico are from ADULTS.
And if we listen well, the movie tell us that he doesn’t takes just ‘the wish’ but that he takes a metaphisycal part too, from the people heart and then make the people forget about it..
The BETTER part of them allegedly, leaving them ‘sad and boring’…
(well just the protagonist’s friend, because NONE of any other citizen of Rosas EVER seems different from a normal person. In the first fucking song we see a rather happy living population lazing around town, dancing for the newly arrived tourists.. but I’m digressranting ).
My point is: even if you forget A wish, as important as it may have been to you, by forgetting it you become a clean slate.. and, as STUPIDLY pointed out IN THE MOVIE, during the ‘cringy q&a to make a distraction’ a peasant ask something on the line of ‘What if I develop another wish? Or I change my wish?”
If he took only A wish, these would be possibly things that could happen, to living thinking human, in years.
But, if you switch to what I’m suggesting , it suddenly clicks: no one in the entire movie use the word or concept of dream/dreams.( non that I can recall.. or in a meaningful way, but I could be wrong..).
I think that’s because..
.. people FORGOT they exist.
Because they can’t DREAM anymore.
Because the best part of they’r heart, the part that allows to conceive and create new dreams, was given willingly away.
And as Disney love, especially in this movie, the self references and to pay homage :
“ A WISH is a DREAM your heart makes..”
..Sound familiar to anyone?..
