came here for your fop art but i just realised you also watch bbb :0

this makes me extremely happy :) i've been a fan of boboiboy for years

i grew up on the original cartoon and have rewatched it countless times over since. i swear, i still remember the first time i saw angin unlock his second tier; it marked the moment my entire worldview completely shifted. it changed me as a person

that silly show is so near and dear to my heart. the humor, culture, voice acting, characters, the ridiculous plot, the animation, the art... it encompasses what i love about my childhood, and i've never been more glad to be blinded by nostalgia

it's not exactly the best written thing in the world, or most visually appealing, but it doesn't have to be. it succeeded on endearing me to its story from the start, and their quality has arguably gotten better with time, (though i still prefer the original in terms of writing,) so their reward is a stupidly loyal longtime international fan

the fandom is insanely talented and ive seen wonderful works inspired by it. i'm immensely happy that it's gotten more attention as of late, (on the english speaking side of things, at least,) even if it still is "niche" enough that people are surprised i know of it

haha... boy, do i know of it

i can and have talked about it for hours on end. it reached it's peak when windara's 6th episode released— my friends didn't hear the end of it for weeks. i'm not embarrassed to admit i shed a few tears seeing beliung animated, i was that excited!!

maybe a simple "yes" would have sufficed as a response to this, but i can't help myself when it comes to things i'm passionate about

:)

Hey so did family odd parents get a new series? Who’s the purple hair guy you ship with who I assume is Timmy. I just stumbled upon you blog by chance and I want to know what’s up with your blorbos.

Who are these people and why do I recognize them?

welcome, welcome! i'll be happy to tell you all about it :) i'll try to keep it short:

to recap, the original fairly oddparents show mainly revolved around timmy turner, a 10-year-old boy who was given magical fairy godparents who'll grant his every wish to help him cope with his miserable life. in the show, his found family of fairies consists of cosmo (godfather), wanda (godmother), and poof/peri "purple hair guy" (baby godbrother). the show aired on nickelodeon from 2001 - 2017, and it was popular enough that even people who didn't actively watch it might recognize it

the new series, fairly oddparents: a new wish, takes place decades after the original show's events. it follows a similar premise with a (mostly) new main cast of characters: hazel (protagonist), dev (deuteroganist), and their fairies. cosmo and wanda came out of their 10,000 year retirement to godparent hazel, and dev later on acquired a now-adult peri as his godparent

peri (originally named poof), for the entirety of the original airing, was only shown as a perfectly marketable sphere baby. so when he showed up as an actual adult with design elements taken from both his parents blended in a unique, balanced way, with a personality reminiscent of pilot cosmo (suave gentleman)... something changed inside me

and now here i am

as for the ship, i think you've mistaken dale with timmy

it's the brown hair and blue eyes. don't worry, if i didn't know the lore prior, i could believe this was the same character too!

timmy is peri's brother, and they've been raised as such since peri was born. they were separated after timmy lost his godfamily (and his memories) sometime after growing up and becoming independent. godparents are only ever temporary, afterall. these siblings are made especially tragic by the fact that timmy is the reason peri was born— fairies were banned to have children, until timmy wished for cosmo and wanda to have one because he wanted to see them happy

meanwhile, dale is dev's father, completely unrelated to timmy. He's an antagonist, a terrible father, and the reason for dev's misery. he first appeared as a one-off character in the original show as a poor child laborer who got trafficked into a sweatshop working for a lemonade factory (i cannot make this up). in the current show, he's an irredeemable rich jerk for who i hold absolutely zero respect for. but, from a character perspective, he's fun to watch, and i love it when he shows up to ruin my mood

the shipping comes from the fact that peri and dev gets separated by the end of the first season, so lots of people headcanon that peri came back for dev by disguising himself as his human babysitter, which he'd of course have to be hired for...

those circumstances make for very interesting potential conflicts and dynamics, so it's not hard to see why some might take to it

(lots of people have shouted at me and made it abundantly clear that i may have accidentally fanned the flames for that one, whoops

it's hilarious, because i don't actually care much for the peridale ship at all. i might draw more, but it's far from what i like about the franchise)

a new wish was well received because it took many issues people had with the original and improved upon it. they gave cosmo and wanda a healthier dynamic, for one (it essentially used to be full of "i hate my wife" and "my husband is a moron" jokes, which didn't work well in the long run). the people working on it has also shown clear passion for the project, which i don't see much with show revivals these days. the jokes land and the emotional moments have their weight, and above all, it does it's job at being entertaining

for a show i didn't think much about as a child, a new wish has done well to revive my passion for absolutely overanalyzing and reading up upon every little thing within a franchise. it's kind of rare that i rant and rave about a show this often. the only other contender that reaches this level of insanity being... well, niche enough that i dont get the chance to talk about it online, unfortunately

but yeah, that's the gist of it! i hope i was able to satiate your curiosity

:)

i love how passionate wanda is about acting roles in anw

i headcanon that though blonda was the "prettier" one who went on to become a star in fairywood, between the two of them, wanda has always been the better actress

when they were younger, one of the only ways they'd get along was playing their childhood roleplay games and immersing themselves in the stories they made up; blonda was especially great at writing the scripts, and wanda loved interpreting them

maybe the fact that wanda chose fairy godparenting was a point of contention between them. or perhaps blonda's glad wanda never became an actress, else she'd have no job in the first place

i like the idea that after wanda's vacation, they started speaking again and are on track to mend their relationship into something more teasing and light-hearted

@danashehab has been fundraising since may and is just over €15,000 away from their goal l. as stated in the screenshot people are starting to believe the rafah crossing will open so it’s important to make sure everyone has the funds in case they are allowed to evacuate.

thee shehab family consists of dana (13), sahar (14), mona (9), malak (5), yehya (1.5), fahed, (38), reem (32), and grandmother mona (60). they have been shadowbanned and deleted a few times. you can also find this family at @monashehab
