Thumbelina - Tumblr Posts
I’m irl Thumbelina I pinky promise!
1000000% underrated and underdeveloped characters tbh:
I agree with ya on this! It’s brilliant btw! Justine being bad at some dances like ballet would be good and realistic.
Crystal being the baddie we needed. Also Jackie Frost and her bro need help cause they were so cringey and rushed.
Jillian – She does need some fears. Also I find her crush on Tiny cute. The stuff ya said bout Farrah is amazing.
Agree with what ya said bout Meeshell too!
Bunny and Alistair – I remember I was so angry when their characters weren’t focused on and all we knew was that they liked each other. They seemed so bland to me. But thank goodness for fans who elaborated on em.
Nina – so I checked the thumbalina fairytale right now to see the themes and got quite a bit so buckle in fam. She’s gotta keep travelling around quite a bit.
In the tale, thumbalina gets kidnapped by a frog and then runs away from em, then is on the run from different things ever since. She gets helped by bugs throughout the tale so maybe Nina calls on bugs and spiders and such instead of woodland creatures like the other princesses with the exception of her shallow ‘bird’ friend.
She rooms with this nice mouse and tells him stories and cooks for him. Then the mouse’s good friend who is the richest and the rich mouse is smittened with her and asks her to marry him. (she’s irrestible like all these creatures wanna marry her!)
She had to go along with it and reclutantly went to his home with her roommate. On the way there, in a tunnel was an injured shallow (bird) and the rich mouse kicked it and told it, it deserved its injuries. Thumbalina is disgusted and shocked and runs away from the mice and then comes back to tend to the bird when they are gone.
She took care of it till it could fly again and it was spring time by the time the bird was better and the bird asked her to come along to where the bird would reunite with her friends. Thumbelina is tired of adventure and declines.
The lovesick rich mouse finds her again and asks her to marry him once again. She tells him to let her bask in the sun before they’d have to live underground for most of their life. (Thumbalina has a problem with telling people no I suppose? Maybe being a people pleaser.) She is roaming the fields one last time when her shallow friend comes and asks her to come away with her. This time she agrees. On their travels, she meets a ‘young, handsome’ king who for some reason has wings and she gets wings too when she marries him. She can feel like she belongs nowhere cause she was always on the move.
And the tale never mentions her reuniting with her mother. Plus the thumbell family can all deal with infertility and all. Fairytale conceptions methods do be interesting like eating roses for kids or in this case, planting a grain of barley and then kissing the petals of the flowers that grew.
The beginning of the tale says that the lady lost her husband and was lonely thus wanted a kid she never had. So would Nina have to lose her future spouse and then have a kid she will inevitably lose? Tragic af There’s a lot that can be explored. Also we needed Chase Redford at EAH ngl,like would be so cool and fun to explore more bout him.
Characters I think had a lot of potential but were heavily underused
Disclamer this is just my opinion and how I'd 'fix' them
Justine - She's shown to be good at every dance style, but that's so boring... what if instead she was horrible at ballet and wanted to befriend Duchess so they can practice together? (Duchess at first sees this as some kind of rivalry)
Also I hate what they did to Duchess on Justine's diary, she'd never cheat on a dance performance
I like her sleepdancing and her potential relationship with Ramona tho
Crystal - I've made a previous post about this but basically I find her to be very bland. I want character development; from cold Ice princess to her finally learling to love other people
Jillian - I like the fearless adventure girl trope and her interactions with Humphrey. Apart from that I don't have a lot of opinions, maybe add her one fatal fear that she overcomes? I don't know
Farrah - I don't have strong opinions about her, I like her. Maybe add more struggles regarding her wishes? Like people abuse them or something and maybe Ashlynn (or Crystal cof cof @crystals-gun-supremacy ) are the ones that help the rest realise that Farrah doesn't want to grant wishes all day.
Meeshell - I like her shy personality, I just wish she had more. Maybe she doesn't tell people her tragic destiny because she's too shy to talk about it and doesn't want other people worrying about her?
Also maybe her and Duchess can bond over their tragic destinies
Ramona - I want more interaction between her a Cerise! I want them to act as sisters. Also I want to know what happened to her and why was she sent to prision.
Bunny and Alistair - put them together because apparently that's what mattel thinks of them. Thank you fandom for making them actual characters and not just "girl and boy are in love with each other but are too shy to confess"
Nina - I literally have no opinions about her. She just exists

I’m trying to see where to lean my art style towards as I develop as an artist. These are my favorite artists, and where I draw the most inspiration. Vote below, so I can see where to continue to develop.
