Guess Who Became A Cognito Intern?

Guess who became a cognito intern? 👀

It's all fun and games until you find out you own a magical space rock and you were sent back in time in case the person who had it in the past destroys it

Yes, I also agree that the maps do not match and it is quite interesting and open to interpretation, although it may be a continuity error, I like to think that these stories take place in an archipelago (I would like to think), so the inhabitants of the main island (Fairy Tale island) were discovering new islands around and soon they will start to populate them, so the maps were modified as a result of the expansion

I still agree with your point about the expansion!

Fairy Tale Island Maps Don't Match

Alright, so I'm writing my Red Shoes fanfic when a thought hits me: where is Corrone, the kingdom I created going to be? I get very into lore dives and end up falling down rabbit holes, so please bear with me.

Spoilers ahead!

So I started looking at the map of Fairy Tale Island shown at the beginning of the film. It seems old with its yellowness, ripped edges, and faded ink. However, there are several illustrations of fairy tale stories that we are familiar with across it. However, in Red Shoes, these stories seem to be taking place at similar times and are heavily suggested as such, have yet to begin, or have just been "completed." It depends on where you are and what kingdom you are in as news travels pretty slowly (that'll be a topic for another time).

Regardless of how this map looks, it doesn't match the one that the F7 have in their home/command post which we see after the team "rescues" Red Shoes from the wooden bunny (King White under Regina's curse).

This map looked extremely different from the map above which led me to study the whole map of Fairy Tale Island. I wanted to see if there were similar landforms that would tie these two maps together. And guess what? I might have found where this island might be!

Take a look:

(Apologies for the awful quality, I had to yoink this the Wiki)

This small island just off the coast of Fairy Tale Island matches the F7's map. It's the right size and even has that strange rock structure or something similar on the left-hand side of it. Yes, the shape is a little off as the maps could have been made by different cartographers or it could be that the smaller island lacks the details since it isn't the main map of Fairy Tale Island. Either way, it is plausible.

If this is true, then Fairy Tale Island is so much bigger than what the film shows. Additionally, it would make sense for Fairy Tale Island to be so large as it is supposed to house every fairy tale to have ever been told. So here's an interesting thought, what if Fairy Tale Island is continuously expanding/growing?

New stories are told every day which means that there needs to be a place to put them all on the island somehow. Additionally, this suggests that Fairy Tale Island exists outside of space. Perhaps anything is possible on Fairy Tale Island?

What if

Villain F7 AU 👀👁👁

Something that I am definitely not working on myself nope definitely not-

Hear me out:

The F7 are a group of criminals whose ultimate goal is Fairytail Island domination. Reason is Merlin wants to rule a bunch of adoring peasants

So Arthur is in charge of fighting anyone who tries to stop them; Jack is the sneaky luxury-lover thief; Hans is their poisons expert; the triplets make every weapon they need

This is where you could go the dark route: Snow has to defeat them and save her father

Or the comedic route: they get transformed and are forced to get help from Local Heart of Gold princess Snow White

Either way a redemption arc is possible, if that's your cup of tea 👌
