The finished illustration for Snow White
Can you spot the super subtle Mirror Mirror inspiration? I kind of love that movie and how much it committed to stylized fun costuming. And long time fans of my redesigns will spot a fashion reference to a previous redesign... really sneaky with all these details. ( > w -)

He who doesn’t love Naples, has yet to learn how to love life!
Giles and Antonio sat in their lavish apartment in Naples, the soft afternoon light filtering through the windows. Giles, a straight and striking blond man exuding an air of affluence, reclined on the plush couch,
Tumblr media
while Antonio, an earnest brown-haired gay man, stood by the window.
Tumblr media
"Did you see who I invited for dinner tonight, Antonio?" Giles asked, his voice tinged with excitement. Antonio turned to face him, feeling a pang of insecurity as he thought about Giles' sophisticated friends. "I bet they'll be as snobbish as always," he muttered under his breath. Giles didn't seem to notice Antonio's discomfort as he continued, "I believe this evening will be quite extraordinary with their esteemed company." Antonio forced a smile, trying to mask his uneasiness. Deep down, he yearned for Giles to see him as his boyfriend rather than just a friend from less affluent origins. As evening descended, the guests arrived, elegant and self-assured, adding to Antonio's discomfort.
Weeks later, Antonio, feeling dejected, made his way to a flea market, a place where he felt a sense of belonging. Here, he stumbled upon an ancient mirror, its frame intricately carved with unfathomable designs. He purchased the mirror and hung it in his room, unaware of its mystical capabilities. Days went by, and one evening, as Antonio gazed at his reflection, the mirror suddenly emitted an ethereal glow. Startled, Antonio watched in amazement as the mirror spoke, its voice resonating through the room. "I am a mirror that grants wishes," it declared in a gentle, yet mysterious tone. In a burst of emotion, Antonio blurted, "I wish for Giles to fall in love with me." The mirror shimmered, its luminosity fading. "I cannot change the heart of others, only you," it replied. "Then, make me the man of his dreams," Antonio pleaded. "Very well, but be warned," the mirror warned. "The change will take time."
Days passed, and Antonio noticed his once brown hair transitioning into a lustrous shade of blonde. He ran his hand through his hair in shock, "This can't be real." Giles, noticing the change, nodded approvingly. "Blonde suits you better, Antonio. Maybe I'm starting to prefer blondes after all."
Tumblr media
Grinning, Antonio attributed the change to fate and the promise of Giles' favor. His physique then underwent a transformation, becoming more toned and athletic. Antonio flexed his newfound muscles, hoping Giles would take notice and appreciate the change. He admired his reflection, convinced that Giles would be delighted with his new appearance.
Tumblr media
As the days went by, Antonio's features appeared younger, his skin smoother and more vibrant. He couldn't help but wonder if Giles preferred younger men.
Tumblr media
Giles, on the other hand, seemed to be increasingly drawn to him, touching him more frequently and acting possessive. Giles returned home, and as he glanced at Antonio, a sly grin played on his lips. "Antonio, come here. I have something to show you," he said, his hand lingering on Antonio's shoulder. Antonio blinked in surprise at the sudden closeness of Giles, his heart racing with hope. "Yes, Giles? What is it?" he asked eagerly. "I've noticed your newfound physique. I think it's time you start training with me. Come on, I'll show you the ropes," Giles said, a dominant gleam in his eye. Antonio felt a rush of mingled excitement and confusion but followed Giles obediently.
Days turned to weeks, and strange thoughts began to invade Antonio's mind. Memories and desires that were not his own haunted him. Unfamiliar memories and urges flooded Antonio's mind, belonging to someone named Lawrence. These memories were foreign, yet compelling. Lawrence had been a carefree rich kid at an elite school, living off his parents' money, charming and fickle, never committing to anyone or anything.
Tumblr media
In the midst of his turmoil and concerns, Antonio sought out the mirror once more, demanding answers. "What is happening to me?" he implored. The mirror shimmered softly, and an eerie hush filled the room before it spoke, "You are becoming the embodiment of Giles’ dreams, the personification of his ideal man." Realization dawned on Antonio's countenance. "But what does that mean? Who is his ideal man?" "His dream is to have a younger brother, one who shares his love for sports and the thrill of chasing women," the mirror revealed, its voice a haunting whisper. Consumed by frustration and despair, Antonio pleaded with the mirror to reverse the wish, but it steadfastly insisted that the wish had to be fulfilled before granting any other.
As Lawrence's memories and desires grew stronger, Antonio struggled against this invasive force with every fiber of his being. He felt like a mere passenger in his own body, helplessly watching as Lawrence took the reins, pulling him into a life he never sought.
Tumblr media
"This can't be happening," Antonio groaned, grappling with the intrusion of Lawrence's thoughts. "I need to fight this. I am Antonio, not Lawrence." "You cannot fight what has already been set in motion," Lawrence's voice echoed within his mind, his velvety tone laced with arrogance. "Embrace it, Antonio. Embrace becoming his perfect brother." Struggling against the relentless tide of Lawrence's influence, Antonio found himself losing grip on his own existence. With each passing day, Lawrence's hold tightened, an unyielding force that threatened to consume Antonio whole. Inside the recesses of his mind, Antonio resisted, thrashing against the invasive presence that sought to overtake him. "Please, I beg you, stop this!" Antonio cried out within the confines of his own consciousness, the struggle wearing him down. "Do not resist," Lawrence's voice implored, persuasive and coaxing. "I'll restore order in your fractured mind. Let me guide you, for I am what Giles desires." The world around Antonio began to blur, his once familiar existence dwindling into a nebulous abyss as Lawrence's influence continued to burgeon. "I can't lose myself," Antonio gasped between labored breaths, his consciousness slipping further into obscurity. Lawrence's laughter echoed through Antonio's mind, a cruel and resounding symphony that seared through his dwindling sense of self.
One evening, Giles and Lawrence strolled home after a night of revelry, their laughter echoing through the nighttime streets of Naples.
Tumblr media
Giles slung his arm around Lawrence's shoulder, exclaiming, "You were a hit with the ladies tonight, Lawrence! You truly are the life of the party." Deep within, Antonio cried out, pleading for his voice to be heard, but his words faded into silent despair. Every step Lawrence took felt like another piece of Antonio's identity slipping away, melding into the persona of the carefree, charming Lawrence. As they entered the apartment, a feeling of desolation washed over Antonio, harbouring a deep sense of powerlessness as Lawrence embraced Giles' idealized image of his younger brother. The following day brought undeniable changes in their dynamics. Giles and Lawrence delved deeper into their shared exploits, engaging in sports, relishing in the thrill of their conquests, and reveling in a life of extravagance.
Tumblr media
During these activities, Antonio's consciousness flickered, but he remained buried beneath the overpowering presence of Lawrence. Distorted memories haunted him, fragments of a life once led, now seemingly erased from existence. One evening, Lawrence confronted the mirror, staring into its ancient depths with an unsettling resolve. "I wish for no one to remember Antonio. Let them only recall Lawrence, the vibrant and charismatic brother of Giles," he declared, a smug grin etched upon his features.
As Lawrence's wish echoed through the room, a profound silence enveloped the space, and Antonio's existence as he knew it began to fade, dissipating like shadows at daybreak. The mirror, cloaked in enigma, watched impassively, knowing that its plan  had come to fruition. Time passed, and with each passing day, Lawrence's presence in the world solidified, entwining with Giles' life as seamlessly as the thread weaves through fabric. Giles, once composed and refined, now embraced a carefree and indulgent existence. His affluence and sophistication gave way to a life of frivolity and pleasure, mirroring the essence of Lawrence's being. In the city of Naples, Lawrence and Giles became the embodiment of dandyism, their allure captivating those who crossed their path. As the days melted into a seemingly endless reel of revelry, the mirror observed silently, content in the knowledge that its design to turn the two men into dandies had come to fruition.
Tumblr media
The once demure apartment transformed into a haven of opulence and indolence, steeped in a heady cocktail of decadence and mirth. In the heart of Naples, the whispers of Lawrence and Giles—charismatic, alluring, and carefree—became the melody that danced through the city's streets, an irresistible siren call to those who sought indulgence and amusement. And in the midst of it all, Antonio's essence, his very existence, melted into the tapestry of a world that remembered him no more, his being vanishing into the annals of time, leaving behind only the vivacious spirit of Lawrence, the charming brother of Giles.

If all of the Disney Princesses live in Snow White's world, do you think the Magic Mirror would still declare Snow White as "The Fairest One of All"?
Yes, I do. I think Snow White is Fairest of All because her beauty is the outward version of her purity and innocence. And there’s no other Disney Princess who has more purity and innocence than Snow White.
Tumblr media
I mean, the closest you could get, story-wise, would be Aurora. She’s magically gifted with rare beauty that’s symbolic of the rebirth of springtime. That’s quite the beauty classification!
She’s pretty innocent and pure, too—the tiniest glimpse that she might not be as pure as Snow White is the fact that she’s willing to complain about her lot in life, or about the fairies being overprotective, and has a little mischief in her. But even that is kind of a stretch.
Tumblr media
What isn’t a stretch, though, is Snow White being so full of love to give that it splashes everywhere. Aurora’s scenes with the animals are all about her confiding in them and playing with them. But Snow White is decidedly motherly with her animal friends. She doesn’t just get their friendship and company—she gives. She teaches them how to clean, and helps them when they’re lost, that sort of thing. Even more loving with the Dwarfs.
Tumblr media
So Snow White does good, and that’s part of the beauty of what’s inside of her causing her outside appearance to be beautiful. Aurora, as wonderful as she is, doesn’t do a lot of good. She makes very few decisions that show how loving and kind she can be.
Other than being respectful and obedient and obviously super-fond of her fairy caretakers. It takes a special kind of love to obey three old women who tell you that you have to abandon all your animal friends and the one true love you just met to run a kingdom, instead. I would’ve said “no, I’m not going, and here are all my suppressed bitter feelings about how you keep treating me like a child.”
But even though she’s devastated, she gives up the dream that just came true and fulfills her role as crown princess, instead. I don’t want anyone walking away from this post seeing any shade thrown on Aurora. The purpose of her character was very symbolic.
Tumblr media
She wasn’t supposed to grow and change. She wasn’t even supposed to inspire change in others. She was supposed to represent Value. That’s it. She’s precious to everyone around her. She’s worth protecting, sacrificing for, and saving. She’s everyone’s daughter, everyone’s dearest, she’s all the gentleness and beauty and hope for the future, personified.
I could do another post analyzing Sleeping Beauty (though to be honest with you, it’s such an old and incredible fairy tale that I’d be a little intimidated.) But anywho, to answer this question, Snow White would still be Fairest of All because, I think, in the story, ther purity and innocence is what makes her so outwardly beautiful, and none of the other princesses are as pure or innocent. Aurora and Cinderella come close, and then Belle.
EDIT: It would be cool to see them all in one place, though, wouldn’t it? Not for, like, Pocket Princess antics or anything like that. Or anything too sprawly and intertwined, like Once Upon a Time. But if there were a way to neatly, carefully tell a story with that many princesses, and what they inspire in others, and why they befriend and what they teach to one another…without it being a total talking-head-fest…that would be neat.

In Disney’s “Wish,” I’d heard that the ending involved King Magnifico becoming the Magic Mirror from Snow White. Which I though was kind of a stretch, until I could view it at home and realized that, as he’s getting pulled into the crystal, his face does momentarily become the mask of the magic mirror!

Snow White process video!
I like this illustration... but I feel like I could push it further... so I might revisit it on a file that can take more layers. It's procreate's one flaw, the larger the canvas the fewer the layers.

A wish crossover au where Magnifico is the slave in the magic mirror but with a twist. See the evil queen forbade Snow from talking to the mirror for fear of Snow using his power against her. But Snow talked to him anyway. He was like a secret friend to her and he started to feel the same way. But alas, rags can not hide her gentle grace and Snow becomes more fairer than the queen. But there’s a twist.
Somehow, after telling the queen about Snow’s beauty, the mirror breaks and Magnifico escapes. He has become good friends with Snow and wants to protect her from her stepmother. The story diverges from there, with Magnifico becoming a father figure to Snow.
A few things:
Magnifico doesn’t want Snow to find out how he got in the mirror. He will go under the fake name “M” which he says stands for “Mirror” (but actually stands for “Magnifico”)
Snow has heard about the kingdom of Rosas. But only as a kingdom that has long been in ruins that was once threatened by a “evil monster wrapped in green”. She doesn’t know that’s M
When asked something, M will automatically know the uncut truth about it. In fact he can’t lie no matter what. He can twist it a little but it has to be true.
M has no emotion. Having been in the mirror for years and years, he has been broken down by both magic and slavery. He can show some emotion but for the most part he acts stoic
M has glass eyes like Lapis from Steven Universe. Cracks are around his face, giving him a broken look.
M will go John Wick on anyone who dares hurt Snow. He still has his magic and won’t be afraid to use it.
