Fairyary Day 16: Willa 🧚‍♀️

I’m sorry but Willa is the best, she really is the highlight of the first movie. She was so funny (made me laugh out loud so much) and animated, making such amazing annoyed and happy expressions full of energy. Love her so much, she’s the greatest 😂🦋💜

Barbie Fairytopia and Barbie Mariposa - A Timeline

This is. A really rough concept of my Barbie Fairytopia timeline, which I made to help my brain understand WHAT is going on in Fairy Princess. The barbie discord I'm in has probably heard a ton of my complaining about my confusion but.... too bad here's more

Note! This is just my theory/headcanon and it very likely contradicts canon SOMEWHERE, but I don't really care >:))))) forget CANON /j

I'm also. Working on a fic based on this heehee... watch me take 30 years tho

Most of it is... the fact that the flight across Fairytopia in FP confused me so bad. As far as we know in the Fairytopia films, there are seven provinces that the Enchantress Rules over. Shimmervale is likely not a part of that, although the Magic Meadow is literally outside their castle. IF they were a part of that, Shimmervale would have had some sort of Guardian, perhaps Amethyst or the Indigo fairy. We don't see this, so it's a question of is Shimmervale actually a part of fairytopia.

ADD THAT to the fact that the castle in Magic of the Rainbow seems to be close-ish to Shimmervale, primarily through the waterfalls. It's even named the Crystal Palace, and we know that Shimmervale is very protective over crystals... ????

SO my basic idea is that the Mariposa films take place HUNDREDS of years (maybe even more) before the Fairytopia films.

This is literally how I think of this at this point. There is so much to go into and there's probably much more that I haven't looked at.

We are starting from the BEGINNING besties

Flutterfield and Shimmervale are established. Possibly from earlier fairies, and there is a tentative peace between the two kingdoms.

The Crystal Fairies accuse Butterfly Fairies of attempting to steal their crystals and the rift is created.

Flutterfield is the unlucky recipient of the Skeezites and that cuts them off even further from Shimmervale and the eventual Fairytopia.

The rift is heightened by legends. (Maybe even some fairies blame Shimmervale for the Skeezites?)

A long while passes, many years, and at some point Marabella does come in with her powers and drives away the Skeezites for the time being. (Powers that perhaps a section of Butterfly Fairies have?)

The events of the first Mariposa film happen. The Skeezites are driven away and Flutterfield is safe again. If any legends come back, it is very easily ones about Shimmervale.

(Silly PLAUSIBLE addition) Henna ends up on the mainland of Fairytopia, through an accident that involves the powers that Marabella has (although much weaker) and scaring off the Skeezites. She ends up finding fairies and showing off these powers, bringing forward possibly the Sparkle fairies.

Fairy Princess happens and the kingdoms are no longer fighting. It's the first time anyone in Flutterfield makes the journey over the ocean since before the Skeezites. Mariposa and Catiana bridge the kingdoms and everything is getting better! Fairies begin to travel back and forth and settle in the future provinces of Fairytopia.

Catiana becomes the first "Enchantress" of Fairytopia, as she strives to get rid of the old feud and to just make life easier for a lot of fairies and try her best to keep them safe. She assigns the first few Guardians and draws her power lightly from a crystal around her neck and the flower from Flutterfield. Her and Mariposa remain great friends.

Through either a mistake or on purpose, something happens to the Heartstone and it becomes the first Blush of Spring. Whether it be them connecting the two kingdoms and transferring the magic to a flower that becomes a symbol, or it broke, the magic is the same, protecting the Spring and such. (Because both of them, when hurt, create cold and snow)

Over many years and renovations, the castle and the city around Shimmervale starts to become the Crystal Palace from MOTR. They begin to use the Crystallites a lot more in their building and it starts to become. More crystalline, I guess. Over this time frame, a forest begins to replace this meadow as fairies come and go, possibly planting or accidentally leaving seeds, haha.

Fairytopia slowly becomes the land we know in Elina's films. Flutterfield, and in turn Mariposa, starts to become more of a legend than anything else. Most fairies don't want to travel the distance much anymore, plus a lot have moved. It's unknown if any remain there, but some likely do.

On Mariposa, too, she is mostly forgotten over a long bout of years, Catiana is soon enough only remembered as the first Enchantress. There are scholars who MAY know mentions of Mariposa, but most of her things have been lost... :( - THAT and she likely spent the rest of her days in Flutterfield, her home.

Elina is born without wings, a small connection to Catiana just not flying at all, with the rainbow in her eye. (Could Catiana or Mariposa had it at some point? Likely Catiana- could be a possible Enchantress thing perhaps...)

The events of Fairytopia 1-3 happen, and then as time goes on, things change... Elina starts training 2 become Enchantress and suddenly she's beginning to learn a lot more about Mariposa, possibly through memories (of Catiana's?), or through Scholars who have grasps on books long forgotten. (Or an Enchantress lesson!)

Elina then tells Bibble Mariposa's story, calling her "her friend", knowing of Flutterfield and the whole thing. (She might also feel as if Mariposa IS a friend after gaining so many memories...) It's a story she has grown familiar with and wishes to share!!! AND it helps out Bibble, so it works out.

Elina could even BE a descendant of Mariposa, finally linking Mariposa and Catiana after hundreds of years.... and that thought just makes me 🥺🥺😭💕💕💖💖💖💖

Elina becomes Enchantress, one of many in a long line, but the closest one to Catiana, in a way. She still longs to see what's on the other side of the ocean. She longs to know if Flutterfield still remains.

ANYWAY. That's pretty much all of it!! Like I mentioned above, there is probably so much more that could be gone into and explored, especially as I just skimmed past the fairytopia films, haha.

This idea is one I have fallen in love with and will not let go of. Also. This could make Bibble a descendant of Zee and Anu and I think that's really funny.

Anyway. I'd love to talk about this idea a lot more, so if anyone is interested, heehee..

dude i’m literally going insane . catania spends so long, literally most of her life, terrified to even attempt to fly again after the incident at the falls and then she finally does only because mariposa is in danger and she reacts instinctively to try and help . i couldn’t make this shit up if i tried

Fairyary Day 17: Henna 🧚‍♀️

My last day on the Barbie side of the prompt list and no better way to end it then with Henna 😎 She was the perfect villain, charming and devious and tbh, she had major strategic skills when she used the skeezites and the poison to try and secure her rule. Literally an amazing villain. From what I’ve heard, she wasn’t in the other movie, which is weird because she swore vengeance at the end of the first one. It would be fantastic if she ever made a comeback! 🎉 And get ready, because the Disney fairies are starting tomorrow! 🥳🎉🧚‍♀️

[isas-bathbombs]

the fact mariposa danced with carlos instead of catania still pisses me of TIL THIS DAY. it would’ve made so much for mariposa and catania to dance instead, even when you ignore the shipping aspect. like if u see it in a narrative standpoint, it would just make sense and it would tie it all together perfectly. at a previous scene, mariposa danced with catania when catania didn’t have the ability to fly. wouldn’t it have been poetic as hell to have them dance again when catania finally was able to fly too???

Ah ahh Ken/Derek and/or Mariposa/Catania for the ship bingo

KEN AND DEREK. U know me so well. They are my beloveds and I cannot be stopped . I am smashing their faces together as they are barbies and I have both of their dolls as we speak (that square is so funny 2 me. yes I have already done this. I am funny ok)

I COULD write a lot about them but like. The neutral idk fam

Anyway I love them and shall hold this ship in my hands and die on this hill that I created heehee

I love Mariposa and Catiana..... also they literally are Romeo and Juliet part 2. They ARE. I have. So many thoughts on them (I feel like yhe 3 page essay thing should have been stamped 4 both of these oops).

They are Canon somehow in my heart. I love them so much it's not even funny (as I write a sad fic about them I'm sorry)
