19 lumiere

Now I like Lumibabs/Plumiere, but I don't like how their dynamic was executed in any of the movies. Babette has no real character in the 91 film, and the sequels seem to gradually forget her entirely (not counting whatever tf Fifi's Folly was). Meanwhile the 2017 film tried to add more to their relationship but completely compromised Lumiere's characterization as a devil-may-care flirt.

I still think the musical did it best, and I will die on that hill. Both Lumi and Babs get to be a little flirty, a little sarcastic, a little "causes problems on purpose" even, but they also have very genuine moments of worrying about each other and being happy for one another.

I'm realizing this isn't really what the question asked, but oh well I wanted to talk about canon Lumibabs being disappointing.

i only like lumiere/babette if 1. babette has, can and will murder anyone and get away with it, she is a master schemer of schemes and planner of sabotage and 2. lumiere defends everything she does to a concerning extent because he loves to get in on the scheming and is her golden retriever

Saw your beautiful rant in the tags of my funny t4t lumiworth post! It is actually my headcanon, shoutout! Yeah, just wanted to say, it sucks how people feel the need for headcanon to be canonically justified- who cares? I think we can headcanon whatever we want, because they are for fun!

thanks for the kind words. Honestly I agree with this statement, I think people should allow themselves to just have fun with headcanons honestly.

Funny enough I actually also headcanon Lumiere as trans. I actually headcanoning it because I once saw someone make redesigns of everyone’s human forms which (I think it atleast seemed to) included headcanons, and their version they made him trans and, to put it lightly, I thought it was neat, so I adopted the headcanon.

I don’t post about it much but yeah

Also @ticenchantedtoc has the bigender Cogsworth headcanon, and seeing it from her was how I first saw it, I also saw the chain discussing it with @ich-theosaurus and I also think that’s neat.

This next one I’ve thought of in my own although I think other people probably headcanon it too, transfem Fifi/Babette. Which would also make lumibabs T4T aswell (not that it really matters, I think fifi would trans regardless of the fact of her dating someone who is also trans)

Also, shout out to t4t4t lumibabsworth
