🌈🦋 Pleasant Pixl 🦋🌈

Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving! Y’all’s turkeys have probably digested by now, but have some more gijinka art from me.

Last year, I made a human design for Tippi, one of my absolute favorite Paper Mario partners, but looking back on it, I don’t like how the design turned out. So I wanted to redesign it. I didn’t give her a specific ethnicity and just made her look vaguely Hispanic/Latina, but with this redesign, I made her Native American as a celebration for both Native American Heritage Month and Native American Heritage Day (even though both were last month, ik I’m very late to the party 😭).

I myself don’t have one iota of Native American blood, so I had to do lots of research to make it look accurate to the tribe that her whole new look is based on while taking a few creative liberties. So I apologize to anyone who is part of the Hopi tribe or part of some other Native American tribe if Tippi’s design doesn’t look the greatest. 

However, I would love it if some of y’all would kindly comment or dm me on how I should fix my design if I somehow screwed something up. I don’t want to come off as disrespecting your culture at all, so don’t be afraid to tell me your honest opinion on it so I can learn how to improve my design.

The tribe I based Tippi’s new human design on is the Hopi Tribe. The butterfly is seen as a positive and comforting symbol within a lot of Native American tribes, and it’s very prominent within the Hopi Tribe. Since Tippi takes the form of a butterfly when she’s a Pixl throughout the entirety of Super Paper Mario, I thought it would make sense to base her on that tribe. The butterfly represents change and balance, and they have a kachina (spirit) based around it in their mythology.

The kachina is called the Polik-mana, or Butterfly Maiden. The Butterfly Maiden was one of the main inspirations for Tippi’s human redesign. According to the Hopi Tribe, the Butterfly Maiden is said to pollinate the fields and flowers and give rain to the Arizona Desert once spring rolls around. There’s even a whole traditional dance based around the kachina called the Butterfly Dance, where the young girls of the tribe basically give thanks to the Maiden for her spring dance.

Her necklace is inspired by a cute Hopi necklace I found on Google, but her earrings aren’t really inspired by anything, I kinda just made them up myself. Her dress is heavily inspired by the manta, which is a traditional knee-length garment that the women of the Hopi Tribe wear. At first, I wanted to draw her hair in squash blossom buns, which is the traditional Hopi hairstyle, but I settled on leaving her hair down to match her silhouette at the end of Super Paper Mario.

And ik this is super random, but I would also like to include a few headcanon voice actors that I think would suit the role of Tippi if Super Paper Mario was fully voice-acted like Sunshine. I kind of came up with this while digitally drawing the picture, so sorry for how random and out of place this is, I’m just currently bored out of my mind lol;

• Voice Actor: Christine Marie Cabanos - Voice Inspiration: Filia (Skullgirls)

• Voice Actor: Nicole Oliver - Voice Inspiration: Princess Celestia (MLP: FiM) or Queen Calissa (Barbie in a Mermaid Tale)

• Voice Actor: Stephanie Sheh - Voice Inspiration: Kayo Hinazuki (Erased) or Flora (All 3 of the Winx Club Movies)

• Voice Actor: Irene Bedard - Voice Inspiration: Pocahontas (Pocahontas 1995)

• Voice Actor: Cree Summer - Voice Inspiration: Kidagakash “Kida” Nekdah (Atlantis: The Lost Empire)

I imagine Tippi having a collected, soft-spoken, but serious-sounding voice, which is why I chose these voice actresses and some of the characters they voice as inspiration.

Barbie movie sequences - It's almost a Fun Fact

Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 and Barbie Mariposa and Princess Fairy - Similar things in these sequences.

These iconic Barbie movie sequels have more in common than you might think, and it's something that makes me extremely outraged, it's not about the stories of the movies being similar, it's more like a formula that the directors of the films used, I imagine that not only I but several other fans were disappointed with the sequels thanks to these specific points that I will mention.

Where is the iconic duo from the first film?

The besties Xylie and Kayla, the sisters Rayna and Rayla, who accompanied the protagonist during her journey in the first film, simply disappeared in the sequel to their respective films. In the second movie, they didn't have any appearances or quotes (Except Rayna and Rayla who were mentioned only once if I'm not mistaken) Not even to appear in the background or arriving to say "Hii, we miss u *hug hug* bye!"

Wasted sidekick

Zinzie didn't appear in the second movie, she could have gone back to the confused fields, but I think she'd be better off as Mariposa's sidekick. As for Remu, he appeared in the second film but... not as we expected, in the first film he showed his desire to be a musician, but he appeared as a TV presenter ;-;

The nice friend ≠ The stupid friend

In the first movie Hadley and Willa were super cool, Hadley was connected to the internet and knew about myths, but in the second movie she got extremely silly and only served as comic relief, which to me wasn't even that funny, besides not being careful with Merliah's belongings.The same thing happened with Willa, before she was nice and popular not as much as other butterfly fairies but she was pretty party but in the second movie she turned into a carefree fool, like hellooo even to the twins who used to treat her badly, she struggled at work, but now that she works at the F*cking castle, she got lazy.

Holes in the script

Both films end up deconstructing a lot of what was said in the first film, as in Mermaid Tale, about the way Merilia is conceived, as the ceremony is every 20 years, and Merliah is 17, it means that Calissa got pregnant after the ceremony, and she herself said that after that her tail became fixed, and she could no longer transform into a human, so before we knew how Merilia was conceived, we didn't know that Calissa could turn human, not to mention we thought Eris kind of had this disability of not being able to produce Merilia from no way, but the sequence shows that in fact, everything was much easier and less depressing for Eris. In Barbie Mariposa, we are introduced to Queen Marabela, who lit up Flutterfield with her magic when she arrived in town, but In the second movie we find out that before that happened the people of Shimmervale who supplied the Crystallites to Flutterfield, and that alliance was broken a few years ago, so many few years ago, so if it's been a thousand years since this happened, how come the butterfly fairies didn't go extinct? I'm not sure how the age of fairies works but Marabela doesn't look that old, so she must have appeared a few years before the first movie. How the butterfly fairies survived until the arrival of Marabela, it is literally a miracle, an impossible miracle. Considering that Marabela wanted to resume the alliance, we don't know if Carlos will inherit her power, but if one day she passes away, they will have Shimmervale as allies to protect them.

That was it,it was more of an outburst, but it's still a Fun Fact, hope you liked it, heart and reblog, follow me for more 🧜🏼‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

Media that did the half-mermaid child trope better than Mermaid Melody Aqua

5.) Barbie in a Mermaid Tale (Merliah & Calissa)

While we don’t know what her father looks like, we can see that Merliah inherited her bi-colored locks from her mother. Though we can only assume she inherited the more yellow-blond color of her hair and blue eyes from her father.

Pre-reveal & Post-reveal + Mother

4.) Emily Windsnap (Emily & Aaron)

This one gets points for originality because the Dad is the mermaid/merman in this one! Though since it’s a kids books (and my memory is foggy since I haven’t read it since I was a kid). I don’t know if she’s a clone of one parent or not 🤷‍♀️ Though it does get points off for the whole not allowing your kid to go in the water for their entire life. How do they bathe ??!

Emily + her father

3.) Mako: Islands of Secrets (Zac Blakely + Nerissa)

10/10 would recommend this show and it’s predecessor, H20: Just Add Water. They’re great and are a really fun watch. While Zac (spoilers) was born a mermaid he was raised human, so it kinda counts. I’m counting it.

Zac + His mother

2.) The Thirteenth Year (Cody Griffin & His mom)

Now here’s one I’m sure you’ve forgotten. This DCOM was my jam as a kid! It’s about this kid who starts growing scales and gills when he turns thirteen. Spoiler: He’s half mermaid or rather merman?

Cody & His Mom

1.) The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea

I feel like this one is self explanatory? Melody is not a carbon copy of her mother, except maybe in personality. She get her looks from her dad! Apparently, that’s a rare thing in media.

Melody + her parents

All the Barbie protagonists I know -from best to worst

I feel like starting with a disclaimer that this is just my opinion, which should be implied. Anyway, this list took forever because I kept switching them. Look I am bad at picking favourites. The top 3 is actually pretty interchangable.

1. Eden Starling (Barbie in a Christmas Carol) - I love her with all my heart and then some. I love her design, her backstory, her personality, how unique she is from every other Barbie on the list. (Whoever came up with Barbie as Scrroge is a genius that deserves an Oscar) The fact that I relate to her in some aspects makes her even more loveable in my eyes. Also I think she deserves #1 spot because out of all the characters on this list she's the one I sorted before even rewatching her movie -and the rewatch confirmed the sorting. She's that memorable!

2. Princess Annika (Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus) - I love her too: her determination,her cleverness, her bravery, her justified anger. The "Destroy Wenlock!" speech alone guaranteed her a place in top 3. The fact that she doesn't back down even in the face of impossible odds - or maybe especially because the odds are impossible, her relationship with Aiden and with Brietta and her passion for ice-skating make her a very interesting character. Annika is a powerhouse and her entire journey is *chef's kiss*.

3. Merliah Summers (Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 1&2) - I think what I love about Merliah is that she put herself first, in both movies. Her first priority was her career as a surfer and only later did she come to accept her role as a mermaid princess. Her relationship with her mother is also great, I love them when they get along and I also love them when they don't - probably my favourite mother-daughter relationship from all the Barbie movies. Merliah's initial skepticism, her putside the box thinking and her competitive streak are delightful. Also her and Kylie might my favourite ship in the Barbieverse.

4. Blair Willows (Barbie Princess Charm School) - A Barbie with actual money problems?! Of course I was soft for Blair from the very begining. Her dedication and love to her adoptive family made her an instant fave. I loved that once Dean Privet helped her with her lessons she did her damn best to graduate from the school. She had her clothes torn, was accused of theft and looked in a safe, yet nothing stopped her.

5. Mariposa (Barbie: Mariposa) - I always had a soft spot for her as a kid. Her desire for adventure -for escape- the way she felt like she didn't quite fit in, her love for books, the somehow-anti-social attitude made her a perfectly relatable character in little!me's eyes. The way she refused to believe the rumors and the stereotypes in the second movie makes her even better. I loved her friendship with Catania and her romance with Carlos was cute too. Also her design might be my second favourite after Eden's.

6. Ro/Princess Rosella (Barbie as The Island Princess) - This movie is a goddamn masterpiece and Ro is a huge part of why. First I cannot help but be impressed by how adaptable she is: not only did she survive on a deserted island for ten years, she thrived. And then she had the courage to leave the only home she knew to go with Antonio and find answers about who she is. My heart ')). Then there is the fact that she risled her own freedom to help save the animals or how she was ready to step back and let Antonio do his duty and marry Luciana despite the fact that she loved him. And the ending wjere she finds her mother and starts singing the lullaby? It is what had cemented my love for this film and this character.

7. Corrine (Barbie in the three Musketeers) - In a lot of ways I find her and Merliah very similar -they both have goals they want to achieve and are somehow selfish because of it in the begining- but I think Corrine is a much kinder person: remember when she got that violin bow for one of the girls as a way to apologize? It felt like such a character establishing moment. I love that she took no shit for anyone, even the prince, and never faltered for one second in her desire to be a musketeer.

8. Princess Genevieve (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses) - In a lot of ways she reminds me of Blair as she's a quieter personality but forceful in her own way. The way she always stood up for her younger sisters, her love for dancing, her relationship with her father and the fact that she was so heart-eyes when it came to Derek -seriously I don't think any other Babrie was so smitten with her LI from the very first moment- made sure she'll have a place in top 10. The only reason why she's not higher is because I love the others more.

9. Princess Annelisse (Barbie as Princess and the Pauper) - I think my favourite thing about Annelisse is that she completely understood her duties as a princess and was ready to sacrifice her personal happiness for her people. I also really like how she never shied from using her royal status- even if it didn't really work- or how she still tried to help the other taylor with the work when she was thought to be Erica, pity she had zero skill. Her relationship with her mom is my second favourite after Merliah-Calissa. Also collecting rocks is such an unique hobby AND she's a cat girl. Of course I love her.

10. Erika (Barbie as Princess and the Pauper) - Another cat girl! And so snippy and unafraid to be herself. Her dynamic with Annelisse is gold: Erika had all the reasons to despise Annelisse but instead clearly ~bonded with her from the very first moment and went along with an insane plan just to help her. Not to mention, she's the first Barbie who explicitly said "I am gonna fulfill my dreams and have the guy I love; what's this nonsense about choosing only one?" and I have to appreciate her for it.

11. Rapunzel (Barbie as Rapunzel) - The fact alone that she is best friends with a dragon gives her major points in my books. Her love of painting and the way she used it as a literal way of escape? Go, girl! The fact that she refused to let Stefan tell her his name just to make sure Gothel won't find out? Impressive and so spiteful! And the disgust in her voice when she realized Gothel had kept her prisoner for years because her father hadn't married her? Perfect.

12. Kristyn Farraday (Barbie in the Pink Shoes) - I really liked her enthusiasm for getting to actually be the characters she didn't even get to dance in the real world, the way her mind immediately internalized the rules of the fairytale-esque world despite how insane it was and how she refused to conform to the rules. I see the movie as an exploration of Kristyn's creepling fear of failure and the pressure she felt as a proffesional ballet dancer and seeing her come out triumphant on her own terms felt really good.

13. Actress!Barbie (Fashion Fairytale and Fairy Secret) - Probably the most three-dimensional of the "real" Barbies. I think what I like most at her is her determination to save Ken in the second movie. What can I say, I love a Barbie-in-shining-armour. I also like that she knew when to step back and let others do their jobs - in fact she doesn't so much in the first movie, just motivates people. If I had to pick a Barbie to have as a friend, I think she'll be my first choice. She seems like a good listener and someone who knows how to solve problems.

14. Elina (Barbie: Fairytopia 1&2&3) - She is an interesting character and one whose stories I do like, but something never clicked for me when it comes to Elina. Buut, this doesn't mean I don't appreciate her desire to save everyone or how she never drowned in self-pity when she was the only fairy without wings.

15. Clara (Barbie in the Nutcracker)- Clara doesn't get the chance to do much, but I love the glimpses of her intelligence we see (how she figured out the Nutcracker is Eric) or how she longs for adventure and excitment.

16. Thumbelina (Barbie present Thumbelina) - I like that she's an inventor and that she is ready to use Mackena to save her home, but overall I found her unimpressive.

17. Liana (Barbie and the Diamond Castle) - I always had a grudge on her as a child on Alexa's behalf. I always felt like Liana dragged her down. This being said, Liana is still a super smart cookie and very devoted to her friends so she avoids being even lower on the list.

18. Princess Lumina (Barbie: Pearl Princess) - The most memorable things about her are how she loooved having a job and how she refused to condemn the woman that may have raised her but had also kidnapped her from her family. Now both these traits should make her an intriguing character, unfortunately the movie is pretty boring and it never taps into Lumina's potential.

19. Princess Alexa (Barbie and the Secret Door) - Look I relate to her: Lover of books? Check. Desire to escape your life full of rules? Check. Not good with people? Check. But Alexa's development was so weird, the movie was very boring and felt like it had no trajectory and it affected the protagonist a lot.

20. Odette (Barbie in Swan Lake) - She just...doesn't do much. I wish we have seen her more involved in her own story. Not to mention I really didn't understand why she was so afraid of being in the spotlight or how being turned into a swan helped her get over it.

21. Starlight!Barbie (Barbie: Star Light Adventures) - I think my opinion of her -and the whole movie- can be summed up in the world "meh". There is simply no spark of life here.

22. Teen!Barbie (Barbie Diaries) - I have such an overwhelming repulsion towards "unpopular" girls wanting the be popular. Especially since I cannot see what exactly is holding Babrie back from being happy? She seems to have everything (great friends, nice life, good grades and music talent!), but doesn't care about any of it. Not to mention, she's the only Barbie who has to settle for a guy that was pining for her while she only saw him as a friend and I resent that.
