I’m @littlemxhoney because I’m like a nonbinary Miss Honey from Matilda!

And I loved the enby take on the Little Miss Sunshine trend so, voila! ✨

nobody has yet made Miss Honey 23 years old in an adaptation of Matilda, which is her canon age (or younger, actually- they just describe her as "not older than 23" in the book)

and I think they should

rewatching matilda 1996 is like...you are never forced to empathise with mrs wormwood at the end of it all when matilda begs to stay with miss honey, and yet so many people walk away from this scene thinking "oh she really did love matilda, she doesnt want to let her go" and to that i say i think you are missing the message being conveyed here. she doesnt say "i love you, matilda, i couldnt stand to lose you" she says "youre the only daughter ive ever had." to mrs wormwood her love for matilda is shaped by possession, by not fully seeing matilda as anything BUT her daughter. where as miss honey sees matilda as everything; as brave and funny and smart and kind and true. the film says to you: a mothers love can be awful and mean and dismissive and cruel, something loud and altogether absent. and then it says: you can sit on a swing set in the sun, maybe even on a picnic blanket, and it can be life saving and warm and soft and quiet and completely unconditional, something you can touch, something safe. even if she still harbored maternal feelings for matilda, mrs wormwood was never the mother she deserved or ever needed. miss honey is. and when mrs wormwood is faced with the harsh reality of completely losing her daughter, she does the one single, truly loving parental act in the whole movie, and allows miss honey to adopt her. the film doesnt want you feeling bad for matildas birth mother, its saying: empathise with the little girl who is saved, and think of the little girl inside of you who deserved the same.

“you’re very brave, miss honey.”

“ not as brave as you.”

The Miss Honey lifestyle:

🌸₊˚ 🦢・₊✧𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒

Your very brave Miss Honey…

“Not as brave as you ♡”

I can imagine she spends her days in the garden, drinking tea and marking the workbooks of her class, reading books, painting and baking cookies. So I just had to write this post 🌷♡

How to live a “Miss Honey” lifestyle:

Spend time being present. Don’t spend too much time on your phone/looking at the online world. I can imagine she prefers books to her mobile any day. Take note of the world around you and how lucky you are to live in nature

Take up hobby’s. Baking, painting, knitting, crochet, pottery, gardening, flower pressing - any cottage-core-type hobby’s that you can spend your weekends & free time doing

Invest in a complete, cottage-core wardrobe. With pastels, florals, tea dresses, maxi dresses, blouses, skirts, dungarees etc - (Her outfits in the movie for reference are all gorgeous!)

Read a lot. Miss Honey is known for her love of books and I can imagine she has a great many at home. Display books in your room/around your space and always have one to hand. Read in the garden, in the morning, of any evening, whenever you get the chance 📖

Spend time outdoors. Wether it’s in your garden, going on walks through the forest, trips to your local bakery. Walk places or even cycle

Don’t be afraid to live carefree and free-spirited. Miss Honey loves to have fun and doesn’t mind spending time doing something just for her enjoyment (we can see this at the end of the movie)

Collect cute cottage-y dinnerware and tea sets to make your afternoon tea extra special

Drink tea and cookies frequently 🫖🍪

And most importantly… be kind and caring to all. Show understanding and think of others as well as yourself. Take care of yourself though and always stand up for what is right 😊🍓🫖✨

Miss Honey for Mousegirl Monday

Miss Honey is a lil idea I have for a children's book story set in a magical forest full of friendly woodland creatures. Isn't she a darling?

that moment when you’re so desperate for spring again that you dive headfirst back into your cottagecore phase
