7 wives - i could make it about 7 sisters instead or 7 anything really. I’m not sure how much i want to change it yet
wishes
6 wish for days at their father’s, 7th and youngest states that she doesn’t have a father’s house to go to
ill probably change what the first 6 wish for to something like money or something materialistic. then also change the 7th’s wish to something less shallow
ill follow the plot in that the 7th person’s wish will come true
or i could focus on the fish the wife in the original caught and how they were actually divine serpents. i could re do that part but i think I’m gonna pick one or the other
came to her as “brothers” - to be loyal to her for she nourished them before (how sweet)
snatched from death
king did sacrifice so to be able to conceive and wife had daughter - couldn’t find a fit man for her to marry so they let her choose - could keep the general story but make it more modern and relatable ?
daddy wants to invite all the princes so she may pick, she tells him off (typical thing for a teenager to do when her parents try to “help” in a situation like so) so i could definitely modernize this. says she’s in love with a hermits son and he’s outraged
big surprise, he’s not who they thought he was. * i probably would abandon the curse that the hermits son is under because I’m not sure of a way i could modernize that other than maybe like he has cancer and is expected to die in the near future ?
princess is in love
yay they got married
he died
by itu’s favor
glutton is mean - wife bakes him cakes he is greedy and says he will banish her daughters if they eat his cakes
:-( he banishes them
tough luck for these girls - did nothing wrong, lives ruined by a mean man, **
i don’t really like this story
just as i read it, i can’t even picture what i would make of it. I’m not making any connections

I chose this photo because the Divine Brother's first take the form of serpents and later return!
