Ask the questions to weird for HistoryWhatIf or FutureWhatIf

Rules and Regulations

  1. Threads should be based mostly in reality with at least one "fantasy" element. Such as "100 US Marines find themselves in the Roman Empire" or "In 2020 Vladimir Putin gains superpowers".

  2. Comments should accept the premise of the thread as true but answer the question realistically. Meaning, don't question how or why 100 Marines were sent back in time. Just give your thoughts on what would happen.

  3. No insults. Keep it civil and don't correct spelling or grammar. Do not encourage trolls.

  4. No low effort posting or commenting. Answers should provide in-depth answers. Not jokes or images and no bots or personal politics.

  5. Use the [Geography] tag to indicate points of divergence based on different landscapes. Use the [DBWI] tag to signify double blind what-ifs. Use the [Challenge] tag for posts where you're asking how something could have happened different rather than what if it happened differently. Use [HWI] for historical based questions and [FWI] for future based questions.

MWI: Taylor Swift gets the powers of a stereotypical Disney princess

What changes now that Taylor Swift can now summon animals to do her bidding?? Given she is now a Disney Princess, her pet cats can speak British English and are smarter than regular cats. She also has a belief Travis Kelce is her true love and is willing to marry him on TV. Her antagonist is Kandiss Taylor(failed candidate for Gov. of Georgia), who is an evil hag who thinks Taylor serves the devil. How is her career affected, given that she's already a singer, now that she has magical powers?

What if Mariah and Joseph Joestar from JJBA have a kid?

What if things in the '"Bastet" Mariah' story arc took a very different turn in the end where Joseph tries a last plea but Mariah doesn't refuse despite finding Dio Brando more attractive than the old man and that Mariah doesn't suffer a crushing defeat. Instead it ends well, leading to a possible affair that Joseph's wife Suzi does not know about?

Who would the child be? What would the child look like? Since if the child can be a protagonist in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime series, what would the name of the part called?
