FAIRY

M.O.M. Classification: XX

"The fairy is a small and decorative beast of little intelligence. Often used or conjured by wizards for decoration, the fairy generally inhabits woodlands or glades. Ranging in height from one to five inches, the fairy has a minute humanoid body, head, and limbs but sports large insect like wings, which may be transparent or multi-colored, according to type."

"The fairy possesses a weak brand of magic that it may use to deter predators, such as an Augurey. it has a quarrelsome nature but, being excessively vain, it will become docile in any occasion when called to act as an ornament. Despite it’s humanlike appearance, the fairy cannot speak. it makes a high pitched buzzing noise to communicate with its fellows."

"The fairy lays up to fifty eggs at a time on the underside of leaves. The eggs hatch into brightly colored larvae. At the age of six to ten days these spin themselves a cocoon, from which they emerge one month later as fully formed winged adults."

-Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

It’s a huge dream of mine to work on the “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” movie trilogy. I’ve been trying to draw some beasts from the book lately in hopes that sharing them may lead me to doing some design work on the films. This prospect is really exciting to me, so expect more creature drawings from me. I hope you enjoy.  :)

I will never understand people who think Tinkerbell is cute and girly and innocent like

Have you ever seen Peter Pan

She tries to MURDER WENDY

MURDER

also she’s a jealous monster

why is all her merchandise flowery and completely opposite to her personality

and in the original book she “swears like a sailor”

I want angry, wide-hip Tinkerbell back.

hokay here’s the thing with Tink. she’s a fairy. fairies (in both the original Peter Pan and in Disney’s version and spinoffs) are so small that they can only hold one emotion at a time, and thus that feeling consumes their whole being for that time. so when she’s angry, she’s MURDEROUS. when she’s happy, though, she can be a bundle of joy! when she needs to be, she’s HEROIC. do you remember that part where she saves Pan’s life and by the transitive property, Wendy’s at the end? and dusts the ship to fly them all home to safety? so no, she’s not a jealous monster all the time. she’s a jealous monster some of the time and at other times she feels other emotions. unlike a lot of other Disney ladies before her (and after), she’s capable of great evil and great good. she makes mistakes and then she fixes them. that at least is something that’s been consistent in her character from Disney’s Peter Pan to their newer Tinker Bell movies, though you are right to suggest she’s much more naive in the newer movies. but then again they do take place before Peter Pan comes to Neverland so maybe she’s just not so worldy yet? i dunno. sorry, i always go on this little tangent. I just really, really love Tinker Bell.

also, i personally find it really hilarious that pretty much everyone and everything in Neverland hates Wendy. ahaha, poor Wendy. she finally gets to visit a magical fantasy land and everything there wants her dead…
