My sibling and I just watched Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy and we came up with a bunch of sexuality and dating headcannons based on it. The conversation was very funny so I thought I would share our final consensus on this.
Sexualities
Tinker Bell : Pansexual
Get it? Because of Peter Pan. Tink just doesn’t really care. She has always done her own thing and that also applies to who she likes.
Silvermist: Bisexual
I originally thought of her as a lesbian, but her outfit in the Pirate Fairy was the Bi flag colors so she has to be Bi. I think she is a huge disaster bisexual, but is also denser than a brick. You could scream that you are in love with her and she will not get it.
Iridessa: Queer
She definitely isn’t straight. But neither of us can figure out what her sexuality is. We like to think that Iridessa identifies as queer because trying to commit to a single label gives her too much anxiety.
Fawn: Lesbian Asexual Gender Non Conforming
Look at this girl and tell me she doesn’t like girls! I dare you! I just can’t see her dating men at all. As for asexual we decided to use it as an umbrella term. I’m not sure where she lands on the spectrum. She definitely isn’t sex repulsed though. Also I think Fawn identifies as a girl but that doesn’t really mean anything to her. She sometimes uses they/them but very rarely.
Vidia: Lesbian
This girl gives mean lesbian vibes and we all know it. Also she has definitely kissed everyone in the main friend group at least once.
Rosetta: Bi-curious and Trans mtf
To my sibling she gives off huge trans girl vibes and I can definitely see it. I feel like it didn’t take long for her to transition after being born in Pixie Hallow. Maybe a couple months. A year tops. When she did come out everyone was like “Finally! She transitioned!” As for her being Bi-curious we think that she genuinely didn’t realize that girls were an option. It took two of the girls in the friend group dating for Rosetta to realize that she could date girls, and that she her completely normal thoughts about her friends were not as platonic as she thought. I like to think Fawn helped her figure some stuff out. But she does still like men and probably prefers them, even if only slightly. She is still with her boyfriend Sled.
Couples
So we came to the conclusion that Tink and Vidia dated for a bit, but broke up. No one really knows this because they kept it quiet since they have the same friend group and didn’t want things to be awkward if it didn’t work out. In the end the two are just not compatible romantically. Their tempers were the main reason. They joke about it now though.
We came to the conclusion that Tinker and Terence eventually do date. They are both polyamorous and are looking for a third, but no one seems interested.
Silvermist and Fawn are two dumbasses in a pod. They get into so much shit together. They love each other and have no shame.
Finally when watching the Pirate Fairy we noticed that Vidia was usually the one calming down Iridessa when she was having an anxiety attack and it was cute. I actually think they were the first of the friend group to start dating, but were very low key about it. When everyone found out Silvermist and Fawn started dating everyone said that they were the first of the friend group to start dating each other and Vidia just looked at everyone and stated that she and Iridessa had been dating for over a year. Everyone freaked out.
Extras:
Periwinkle: AroAce
Girl thinks she is Pansexual like her sister because she feels the same about everyone. But she doesn’t realize that the feeling is platonic and lack of romantic and sexual interest.
Bobble: Gay Trans ftm
According to my sibling this man is too much of a twink to not be trans. Also this man is totally married to Clank and you can’t tell me other wise.
Clank: Gay
Like I said he and Bobble are married and that’s that.
Queen Clarion: Bisexual
I don’t know. She gives off mom bisexual vibes. I actually think she might have a slight preference for girls. She is madly in love with her boyfriend though.
Fairy Mary: Lesbian
She totally had a huge crush on Queen Clarion, but never pursued it because she could tell that Queen Clarion was not mentally ready for a relationship even if she didn’t know why.
Zarina: Bisexual
This girl is definitely not straight. I feel like she might be interested in being the third that Tink and Terence are looking for idk.
Terence: Just Ken
He is either the straightest dude bro ally in history or he’s Bi. There is no in between.

Disney Fairies celebrating Sinterklaas
Because I always see a lot of posts about holidays like Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fun to explore the Disney Fairies celebrating one of my country’s national holidays that’s happening tonight: Sinterklaas (shortly: a kind of Secret Santa where creative ‘surprise’ packaging and a witty accompanying poem are more important than the gift itself).
Tink makes the craziest surprises, with all kinds of functionalities, levers that open secret compartments, etc. As she puts so much effort into these, she completely forgets that she’s also supposed to write poems until the celebration is already underway, but everyone is okay with that, as her surprises make up for it.
Sil still secretly believes in Sinterklaas (they all know, but no one has the heart to tell her), and as such is deeply honoured to be his helper and fix presents for her friends. Her poems are short and sweet, mostly commemorating the good times they’ve had; her surprises are a mess of tape and glue only vaguely resembling something, but it’s really the thought that counts.
Dess does everything by the book. Neatly put together surprises, rhythmically sound poems that are careful not to insult anyone. As a result, her presents are a bit boring compared to the others’. She sees this, but resolves to fix it the next year by making everything even more perfect, failing to grasp that that’s not the point. She did once prank Fawn with a blitz package – once Fawn had regained her sight, she was very impressed.
Fawn absolutely loves to yank everyone’s wings with surprises that double as practical jokes and witty poems that poke fun at the recipient. She has put Rosetta’s present in some kind of filthy substance (mud, squirrel poo, crushed insect skins, a literal can of worms) on more than one occasion, to the latter’s intense displeasure. On one memorable instance she managed to sent Clank on a wild goose chase throughout Pixie Hollow for half the evening until eventually the others took pity on him and got him back.
Ro kind of forgets about the whole having to make surprises and poems thing until just before the celebration, so her presents are usually rather quickly assembled. She does always try to get back at Fawn, but mostly fails; once, she wrapped Fawn’s gift in layers and layers of beautiful petal and dandelion fluff dresses (if she wouldn’t wear them, at least she would have to take them off one by one), but Fawn, not grasping what Ro was trying to do, enthusiastically ripped through the entire bulk at once, leaving Ro horrified.
Vidia is surprisingly good at writing poems (“I spend all year thinking up insults for you, darlings, at some point you put them to rhyme just to shake things up a little”) and everyone can already tell by the first strophe when a poem comes from her. Her surprises are efficient – she doesn’t want to put too much effort in them, but she’ll be damned if they wouldn’t at least be considered ‘good’.
Terence really only joins the group’s celebration because it gives him an excuse to write a twenty page thinly veiled love poem to Tink (who remains completely oblivious, as he never has the guts to tell her it came from him and she just takes it as another of Fawn’s pranks). The rest of the group (save for Silvermist, who thinks it’s sweet) gets increasingly frustrated with this, especially since he only spares about eight lines for the rest of them.
Clank and Bobble do everything together: they tinker their surprises for the others together, they get their gifts together, they write their poems together. The only thing they do apart is their presents for each other, for which they actively have to schedule a time if they don’t want the other walking in on it. During their work, Bobble always hints heavily at what kinds of things he would like. These hints go completely over Clank’s head, but he knows his best friend and lover well enough to come up with something even better every time. Bobble in turn frets over getting something as great for Clank, but ends up with a simple gift, surprise and a poem describing how he had tried his hardest but Clank deserves so much more. It’s really the best present Clank could ever receive.
I made another audio transcription of Pixie Hollow Online music, this time from Rosetta’s Garden.
I moved all of my transcriptions and arrangement to a dedicated blog, @transcriptions-of-unknown-music. I’ll keep reblogging the Fairies-related ones here, of course, but that way I can keep all of my work, which spans a lot more franchises and some more serious stuff, together. If anyone wants to like, reblog, or follow, I’d appreciate it :-)
This piece was requested by @rosettapetalpot, who also asked me if I could make it into a possible ringtone, so here’s the MP3 for that: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K6ynep-rarDLkJM9-qNiHbaBBF3X96-3/view?usp=sharing
By request another piece from the Pixie Hollow Online Game: the soundtrack of Rosetta’s Garden. This is an audio transcription, in which I try to write down the music by ear as closely to the original as possible, while still scoring for possible live performance by actual musicians.
The original music is by a composer I haven’t been able to find the name of; this transcription is made by me.
I don’t even know why I did this
My god this is gorgeous!
Rosetta 🌺
In Swedish “rosett” means bow so I gave her a bunch of bows and ribbons. 😊
👀👀👀 these are gorgeous!

Love Ro's look here!
A GLAMOROUS FAIRY!!
Rosetta is fascinated, delighted and grateful with her new dress, a special gift from her beloved Sled; She is one of the most gamorous and elegant fairies of Pixie Hollow (and obviously, Sled is more in love with her than ever).
Lyrics from the song “Baby It’s You”, by The Beatles.
ohymgosh I LOVE THESE

Joule: Fire talent, or if you don't want to follow Never Girls canon, Light talent. Character match: Necia or Fira.
Volta: Frost talent, obviously. I think she matches best with Spike.
Okay fuck it: Starlight Express Disney Fairies AU
Electra: Storm talent, obviously. They're actually a pretty good combination of Glimmer and Rumble, personality-wise.
Greaseball: Fast-flying talent. As for a specific person... perhaps a mixture between Vidia and Rumble?
Rusty: Dust-keeping talent. Reliable, an important part of society, but not very flashy. I think Terence is a pretty good fit, and otherwise Chloe (especially in later productions).
lmao I can't put more images in one post so I'm gonna continue this in the reblogs oop
O.K, LILLY OR ROSETTA? The books present Lilly as the "master" in gardening and as the greatest reference to the art of garden fairies; in the movies this role is played by Rosetta; Will it be a clear "SUBSTITUTION" of one character for another? also for Fira, the fairy of light, which is "replaced" by Iridessa and Rani, who is "replaced" by Silvermist... Is it because the people of Disney did not have rights to use the original books characters?
The theory I've seen a lot and that seems right to me is that the books and the movies were kind of developed separately: the book writers had the freedom to develop the characters they wanted, but they were never necessarily meant to become the main characters of the movies (I believe Gail Carson Levine had only been given (In)Vidia as a character that had to occur). So I don't really think it's a substitution, also because then the characters would have to be a lot more alike (Lily and Rosetta have very different characters, and so do Fira and Iridessa, and Rani and Silvermist), and because the books kept existing next to the movies in their own continuity (albeit giving a little more attention to the movie fairies because they were of course marketed more extensively).
That being said, though I understand why the movies developed that way, I would have loved for the book fairies to appear in the movies, even just as non-speaking background cameos. Like at least Dulcie, Elixa and Beck got to be included in the Pixie Hollow online game, but it would have been great to see the others, perhaps even in the place of newly developed side characters (like Fira could have Iridessa's partner in the Pixie Hollow Games instead of Lumina, Bess could have been used instead of Blair in the DS game, etc.)
you know what time to bring this back
Let’s talk Pixie Hollow Games: Events
So as you all probably know by now I have an unhealthy obsession with the Pixie Hollow Games, and, well, here are some of my findings.
#1: Leapfrogging
Current first event of the Pixie Hollow Games, played with all twelve teams. Teams take place on frogs fitted with special connected saddles. The team to cross the finish line first after two full laps wins.
I firmly believe that after Games featured in the television special, a rule was set in place about (accidentally or on purpose) destroying other team’s gear, because honestly, Ro and Chlo shouldn’t even have made it past this event as they were the reason the Healing talents didn’t finish in the first place. I mean, can you imagine what would happen it they wouldn’t add a rule about this? Next Games, everyone is just crashing into each other, hoping to be the only one left with a functioning frog harness, it would be chaos.
The Healing talents were eliminated here.
#2: Dragonfly Water-skiing
Current second event of the Pixie Hollow Games, played with eleven teams. One team at the time, contestants make their way through a course on a river (Havendish Stream?) while being pulled by a dragonfly. Teams are ranked based on their time, as shown in the PHG trading cards.
#3 or #5: Tug-off War
Current third or fifth Pixie Hollow Games event – the only open slots in the line-up are three, four and five, but as the logo shows two teams competing against each other I’m assuming it needs an even number of teams, which means the only possibilities would be number three or five; it is therefore played with either ten or eight teams. I haven’t been able to find any information about this event.
#3, #4 or #5: Honeycomb Hunt
Current fourth or sixth event of the Pixie Hollow Games – since the only open slots in the line-up we have are number three, four and five, it’s likely either of those; therefore played with either ten, nine or eight teams. I haven’t been able to find any information about this event. However, at Disney Family I did find a mention of a past event called Honeycomb Climb, in which competitors race to collect hidden gems. Perhaps the Honeycomb Hunt is a continuation of that?
#3, #4 or #5: Slug Slide
Current third, fourth or sixth event of the Pixie Hollow Games – since the only open slots in the line-up we have are number three, four and six, it’s likely either of those; therefore played with either ten, nine or eight teams. Through Disney Fairies Hidden Treasures I’ve found out that teams slide slugs over a field covered in multiple objects to reach the finish line.
Considering the lay-out of the field, I assume that one fairy actually does the sliding while their teammate hovers above the field and gives them directions. In Hidden Treasures the objective of the event is to solve the puzzle in as few moves as possible. Since a trained competitor should be able to do that if looking long enough, I personally believe that the team’s time also counts towards their ranking.
Over the course of events #2 through #5, the Animal talents, Music talents, Scout talents and Water talents were eliminated.
#6: Twig Sphere
Current sixth event of the Pixie Hollow Games, played with seven teams. Teams have to take a woven twig sphere to the centre of the field over an obstacle course, grab a marble from the centre pit, and take it back to where they started, waving a flag by pulling the handle of their start position arch to indicate their finish. One team member is running on top of the sphere, making it move, while the other is hovering inside it, ready to grab the acorn.
The Tinker talents were eliminated here, which I find interesting since Fairy Mary’s PHG trading card states that she has consistently dominated the event since she incorporated clog dancing in it.
#7: Mouse Polo
Current seventh event of the Pixie Hollow Games, played with six teams. Teams compete against each other, two at the time, trying to score by shooting a pixie-dusted acorn with special sticks through their opponents’ goal while mounted on mice.
At this point there are only six teams left, but I doubt that they would all get to compete against each other. Perhaps every team plays against two or three others and the ranking is based on that?
The Art talents were eliminated here.
#8: Teacup Challenge
Current eighth and penultimate event of the Pixie Hollow Games, played with five teams. Teams race each other through a tunnel by putting pixie dust on the front of a teacup, which they then have to land on a saucer before sliding down a slime slide and crossing the finish line.
The Light talents were eliminated here.
#9: Pixie Cart Derby
Current ninth and final event of the Pixie Hollow Games, played with four teams. Their ranking throughout the Games determines their start position. The four remaining teams race through a track in single file, with only three chances to pass, each one progressively more difficult: the Jump, the Pond, and Mudslide Mountain.
It always confused me what the big deal was about the three chances to pass, when there is clearly enough room for the Storm team to pass the Garden fairies in the tunnel after Mudslide Mountain. I mean, I get that those three are shortcuts, but if you’re simply faster than the other team, shouldn’t you be able to pass them anywhere?
The Fast-flying talents, Dust-keeping talents and Storm talents were eliminated here, in that order.
Special mentions for known events that didn’t appear in the PHG special:
Flower Power-up (shown in Disney Fairies Hidden Treasures), Four-winged Race (mentioned on the trading cards), Honeycomb Climb (mentioned on Disney Family), Pixie Hollow Underground Tunnel Races (mentioned on Disney Family), Slug Toss (mentioned on the trading cards), Volleybug (mentioned on the trading cards).
