Some info on how I view Cosmo and Wanda’s family lives, more specifically how they grew up and how the two of them meeting went, because again I’m obsessed with Cosmo being so powerful which brought some ideas for his upbringing and meeting with Wanda, which also brought some ideas for Wanda, and I didn’t want to clutter my baby fairies ban and magic abilities posts with it. So here is it now (6.5k words below):

TRIGGER WARNING: Talks of a character basically having depression for the Cosmo section with one sentence implying suicide idealization.

I’m going to start with Wanda since it’s much shorter.

First off, about her mom’s whereabouts, considering her dad is a mafia boss I’m going to go with her having been killed by one of Big Daddy’s enemies, likely when the girls were teenagers since Wanda complains about how their mom always liked Blonda more in “Blondas Have More Fun!” meaning they grew up with her, but at the same time I like the idea of her dying when her daughters are still pretty young (yeah very happy way to start a post, it gets worse in the Cosmo section).

Speaking of the mom liking Blonda more, I could see a situation of Big Daddy being closer to Wanda while his wife is closer to Blonda, though I don’t know if it’s just a question of the girls being more similar to the respective parent thus causing this closeness or if it’s one parent favoring a twin and the other parent deciding to favor the other one to “compensate”. And if it’s the second case, not sure which parent started it.

On that note I could see Wanda working for her father’s company before deciding to become a godparent, like for a while she didn’t know what to do with her life so she helped her dad. She didn’t do any mafia-related stuff tho, she was more of an employee/manager for his cleaning service. Big Daddy was supportive of her pursuing something she feels fits her more (fairies are immortal so it’s not like he needs to have a successor, granted there’s always the chance of him being assassinated).

Meanwhile Blonda doesn’t feel the same closeness to her father so she’d rather pursue her own goals, which I could see as related to their mom in some way. Like the mom probably wasn’t a star but might have been working within the show-business industry, and Blonda got an interest in acting from her and her career was launched through her mother’s connections. Oh and even if they’re not that close, Big Daddy is also supportive of Blonda’s dreams. Mafia or not, he loves his daughters.

More things that could be said about them, maybe after his wife’s passing Big Daddy became more protective of his daughters, thus leading to have some of his higher employees keep an eye on them during their late teens, which could explain Wanda being familiar with some of them in “Big Wanda”. At the same time though he might not want to involve his girls too much into his business so he might instead ask the guys to keep their distance in order to keep his daughters safe.

And speaking of men protecting women, I could see Big Daddy have a bit of a toxic view of what a man is supposed to be like, view that he gave to his daughters growing up hence why Wanda dated a macho guy like Juandissimo before realizing she just wasn’t as into him as she thought she would be.

Note that I don’t think Juandissimo was a toxic boyfriend or anything like that. Looking back at his episodes, he’s definitely very self-centered and dramatic which is probably why Wanda got tired of him, but he has a genuinely caring side (the whole thing with him going back to Remy in particular). He does need to get the goddamn hint post-breakup though. Just move on and go date Cupid my dude. He can match your dramatics.

Last thing about Juandissimo while I’m at it, in his debut episode he seems low-key scared of Cosmo during their first interaction (at least I don’t think he was acting), so I like to think that sometime after Cosmo and Wanda started dating, Juandissimo heard about it, challenged Cosmo to a duel or something, Cosmo at first didn’t want to bc he didn’t want to go to jail but Juandissimo was able to provoke him into it, Cosmo starts the duel holding back but eventually gets angry enough to let loose. Juandissimo has been afraid of him ever since, now fully aware of the raw power these noodle arms hold.

Giving one last headcanon for Wanda, since both her and Cosmo seem to know how to fight but I don’t particularly like the idea of fairy godparents undergoing military training during their studies; I’m more into Wanda mentioning “four years at the fairy academy” in “Abra-catastrophe”, meaning those are more “regular” studies. It’s especially funny when considering if you start at 18 you become a fully-fledged godparents at 22, which checks out with Peri if he aged at the same speed as humans.

(For those asking “Operation Birthday Takeback” has Cosmo mention Vicky hurting kids “since 2001” while one of the creators confirmed New Wish took place in 2024. Plus in “Abra-catastrophe” it’s been one year since Timmy had his fairies, and “Fairly Oddbaby” takes place three seasons later. So if Timmy got his fairies in 2001, Poof/Peri was born in 2002 meaning he’d be 22 in 2024, which would check out with him going to fairy academy for four years starting at 18, at least if that’s how the academy works. Though there’s also the possibility that 2001 is when Vicky first got hired by the Turners, meaning Timmy got his fairies in 2002 and Peri is actually 21, born in 2003.)

At the same time, we know Cosmo went to military school at some point which justifies his ability to fight. So for Wanda, I’m simply going with the idea of her father giving her some self-defense training, especially given his profession. Wouldn’t want to lose his daughters the same way he did his wife.

Not sure which would be the better fighter between Cosmo and Wanda though, since I could see Big Daddy take it pretty seriously (thinking of “Most Wanted Wish” and how good Wanda is at the competition; also funny to think about how her, Cosmo and Jorgen are the last three standing when again taking the idea of godparents not having mandatory military training, meaning those three were possibly the ones with the best self-defense training). Big Daddy could even teach her some backhanded/dirty tricks that would make her more unpredictable.

Meanwhile Cosmo is Cosmo and we know he struggles to focus sometimes, but at the same time he’d have gone through a lot more training in an environment made for it. Plus he’s op as hell. So I guess which one is stronger depends on the type of fight, more specifically on whether it relies on magic or wits.

Now moving onto the Cosmo stuff, and long story short since his birth things were a mess. From his destructive nature from birth, his terrible two, Anti-Cosmo’s birth and quick rise to power, all of which led to the baby ban. On top of that, as mentioned in my baby ban post I see Cosmo as the first op fairy in a very long time, meaning his strength was a complete surprise to everyone. And with how destructive his magic is, it wasn’t a good one.

All of this would be the main reason why Mama Cosma is so protective and overbearing. Between the destruction and the baby ban, she would constantly be criticized for giving birth to Cosmo (huge fan of T4T Coswan, which means the whole “male fairies carry the baby” isn’t actually true). Hell maybe the Fairy Council tried to take him away like Jorgen does to Poof in “Fairly Oddbaby”, which would make her even more protective.

The loss of her husband wouldn’t help either. Like I could definitely see their relationship as not being exactly healthy given the kind of person Mama Cosma is (imagine Papa Cosma as one of those parents who know their spouse is a piece of shit but they try to excuse this behavior, thus enabling it), but losing him would still be a shock, especially with two kids to raise, one of which is a walking apocalypse.

On that note the way I see it, when Papa Cosma was turned into a fly, his wife ended up more focused on getting the wand back than she was in making sure her husband was still in her sights. So by the time she got Cosmo under control, she had no idea where he was. And while there would definitely be a search party, and I’m not even sure if he’ll ever be considered dead or “just” missing, ultimately the man was never seen again.

But yeah all of this led Mama Cosma to become overprotective of Cosmo, which in turn led her to neglect Schnozmo who started acting out for attention, quickly becoming a thief. And since he still wasn’t getting anything from his mom, he kept doing it until it eventually led him onto the path to become a con artist.

Now I was wondering a bit about the age difference between the two brothers as I want them to grow under the same roof for the above-mentioned headcanon of Schnozmo being neglected, but also looking at the show Schnozmo doesn’t really have anything against Cosmo, so I could see him be mature enough to realize his mom’s the problem (granted the show takes place thousands of years later so they had more than enough time to talk things out). Also with fairies being immortal, who knows what the “usual” age difference between siblings is.

So ultimately I’m going with them being about 12-13 years apart, on top of adult fairies usually staying quite a while at their parents’ home since again they’re immortal. Like at minimum a fairy would spend the first 50 years of their life living with their parents, probably longer. Peri in New Wish is an exception due to growing up as the only child in a society of adults and feeling babied by everyone (Jorgen, who is literally his boss, calls him “Peri-Weri” in “Lost in Fairy World”, like his fucking boss is babying him). So he encouraged his parents to take their vacation soon after he became an adult and quickly got his own place as well, both in an attempt to prove himself as a responsible adult.

Going back on topic, the way I see it Cosmo and Schnozmo started off very shaky. First off due to their father’s death which I’m sure Schnozmo did not take well, and it probably took a long time for him to forgive his brother for it, that is if he ever forgave him (I could see him still hold that resentment, he just doesn’t voice it).

Then you have the usual “siblings mess with each other” shenanigans which he can’t really do since his brother doesn’t even need a wand to use his magic due to how powerful he is, so good luck messing with him. I could actually see some scenarios of older teen Schnozmo allowing Cosmo to come with him meet his friends (or Mama Cosma is like “take your brother with you I need a break!”) but only if he does cool stuff with his magic for them. It would probably usually not end well, tho not in an “almost destroyed Fairy World” kind of way thankfully.

Oh and it goes without saying that whenever the two of them argue or mess with each other, Mama Cosma sides with Cosmo, which would only make Schnozmo angry and resentful. In general Schnozmo and Mama Cosma would have a very bad relationship. Given how Mama Cosma is, Schnozmo was likely already closer to his dad, but once Cosmo got in the picture and Papa Cosma was gone, it became a mess. Like I could definitely see instances of Mama Cosma being tired and stressed from watching over a baby Cosmo and taking it out on her older son, constantly ignoring his problems and needs because “can’t you see how exhausted I am having to deal with your dysfunctional brother?!”

And who knows maybe she would have considered kicking him out at some point but decided against it to hide the fact her family’s been breaking apart (keeping up appearances in front of other fairies). On that note I do think Schnozmo would go no-contact with his mom once he moves out, only popping back up in her life if he needs something. Not sure how often she’d accept though.

Going back to the brothers, I think what would change Schnozmo's view would be Cosmo’s teenage years in which his struggles with his magic would become much more obvious, making Schnozmo realize how much of a mess his brother actually is and how much he cares for Cosmo deep down, not wanting to lose him. Now ultimately a lot of their adult relationship have to do with Schnozmo using Cosmo’s kindness and naivete against him, but even then I think he’ll come through if Cosmo needs him.

And speaking of Cosmo’s teen years, Cosmo did not have a good time at school, in any grade. The adults in his life (both in and out of school) either hate him for the destruction he causes + the baby ban or fear him for his powers. His classmates wouldn’t be better, mainly being cautious about him even if he didn’t do anything (their parents would warn them to be careful around him) or some fairies would bully him until he strikes back and then play the victim, getting Cosmo in trouble since “you’re the strongest here you need to be careful!”

His intelligence would also be something he’d get picked on for, with some adults really not helping by calling him a waste of potential, talking about how powerful he is and “how much of a shame it is that so much power was given to someone so stupid who can’t use it properly”.

On that note, I honestly think Cosmo has some sort of learning disability. I mean, in his own words in “Apartnership!” the first Mama Cosma episode, “I’m not smart. Big words confuse me. I have the attention span of a rodent.” and we do see him struggle on several occasions with not understanding words in the og show. Also in “Lost and Founder’s Day” from New Wish he struggles with the spelling of a word, and in “Operation Birthday Takeback” isn’t explicitly told what Dale is doing and figures it out like 30 seconds after Wanda and Peri, with Wanda even making a comment about it (while swooning which is very cute!).

So yeah, while I see him as a prodigy when it comes to using magic (in “This is Your Wish” we see him be able to do incredible things as a kid and he’s clearly doing them on purpose without breaking a sweat), he definitely has a learning disability when it comes to academic stuff, especially when it comes to words from the looks of it.

Tbh you could make a very strong case for Cosmo being neurodivergent, especially adding in the several instances of characters telling him to focus in the og show or just the fact his main issue with magic is the way he understand wishes or the things that come through his brain. Again, in “This is Your Wish” he knows exactly what he’s doing, his train of thought is just different than what’s expected on top of him not realizing the danger of the things he creates.

Also I can’t remember the episode but I saw a scene with him and Wanda talking followed by Wanda and Timmy, and while these two talk Cosmo is just staring off into the distance, completely immobile except for the usual “fairy hovering”, seemingly zoned out. And unlike other instances of him doing that I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a joke in that scene.

So yeah, this man’s probably neurodivergent hence him using his magic in an “unconventional” way, on top of having a learning disability that causes him to struggle with words and be slow to process some information if it’s not explicitly said to him. And when you have those struggles paired with the ability to bend reality to your will by accident, it’s hard.

Another thing about school which would be eerie for him is the fact that he’d start first grade in a school full of fairies, and by the end of middle-school there’s only a single grade left since he’s the last fairy born. So the last year of school he would walk through empty halls and classrooms, meeting teachers who constantly worry about finding new jobs what with the school clearly about to close. This would probably be something that he wouldn’t be picked up for but is still a constant reminder that he’s the reason fairies can’t have kids anymore.

By the way small word about ages but the way I see it the second youngest fairy before Cosmo would be between a week and a few months older (depend if the Fairy World population is in the thousands or the millions), so there are fairies around Cosmo’s age.

And since I’m at it I’ve seen screenshots from an episode showing him and Cupid being in high school together, and I also headcanon him and Wanda as having a bit of an age gap, for example Cosmo being 93 and Wanda 132 years old when they met, something along those lines. So in my headcanon Cosmo and Wanda didn’t go to school together but Cosmo and Cupid did. Also Wanda and Juandissimo were high-school sweethearts, meaning they’re around the same age (tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if the episode showing Cosmo and Cupid also had Wanda at their school but even if that’s the case I’m choosing to ignore it here).

Getting into Cosmo’s teen years, it was though. The bullying and feelings of inadequacy were starting to pile up, along with him fully realizing what “you accidentally killed your father, destroyed Fairy World and probably killed a few fairies doing so, and even though you were a baby at that time who had no idea what he was doing we still think it’s your fault we can’t have babies anymore” truly means. Like the sheer weight of such information must be devastating. Add to it the mess that are teenage hormones and you get someone in a very bad mental space.

Now to give some explanation about my headcanons for magical backup since I’m about to mention it a few times, in “Fairy For a Day” from New Wish, the music fairy makes a comment saying “keep granting each other wishes”, something like that.

So my idea is that magical backup is something every single fairy can suffer from if they don’t use magic to help others for an extended period of time. I would say “if they don’t use magic period other than stuff like teleportation, floating and shape-shifting (aka anything they can do without wands)” but in that case I feel like magical backup wouldn’t be an issue in the slightest. So yeah instead we’re going with them having to help others, especially since in “OddPirates” Wanda wishes to Poof at some point to help him learn, showing fairies can wish to other fairies.

All this to say fairies help each other out in small ways, and if they don’t they fucking die. And considering Cosmo and Wanda seem almost unable to refuse granting their godchildren wishes (at least in the og show, in New Wish you almost never have the “wand deflating” thing because they know beforehand they can’t grant those wishes), on top of scenes like the one in “Apartnership!” when Timmy says “I wish” and dozens of fairies show up, I could see it as fairies being able to refuse wishing for another fairy but being completely unable to do so when a miserable human child does, for reasons I’m too lazy to figure out (probably something about their society needing humans to function to some extent thus having fairies evolve in a way that they need to help humans).

Also I have no idea if magical backup would spread quicker if a fairy has more magic. I guess it’s worth pointing out that for both instances of Cosmo and Wanda getting it, Cosmo was first and it evolved quicker, but then again Wanda wasn’t too far behind. So idk, maybe it does?

Going back to Cosmo, during his teenage years and early adulthood, he would very often suffer the early symptoms of magical backup (confetti + vomiting the way I see it), sometimes worse, due to him refusing to use his magic in fear of hurting other people. In some instances he might even make comments about how Fairy World would be better off without him. Btw this is basically when I see Schnozmo realize just how terrible his brother feels and start being nicer to him. But yeah, Cosmo was in a very bad place as a teen, which continued in early adulthood.

(Side note but him having magical backup so many times could explain him not taking it too seriously at first in the og show, with him pretending to have it for a few seconds to mess with Wanda.)

And throughout all of this Mama Cosma was supportive, telling him there was nothing wrong with him and the others were messing with him and that he should use his magic in small ways if only to keep himself safe...until she didn’t and sent him to boot camp as soon as he was of age.

I like to think that this is when Cosmo started detaching himself from his mom. Just seeing her go overnight from “I love you just the way you are” to “everybody else was right and I’ve been thinking of you as a problem since your birth, I just didn’t want to deal with making you sad” would be a massive betrayal in his eyes.

Note that I believe Mama Cosma sending him to military training is actually a good thing, and pretty much the one good thing that woman did in the show. Given how much destruction we see Cosmo cause, and since as far as we know there aren’t exactly places that could provide the help he needs, a place with strict rules and monitored by potentially very powerful fairies could be the second-best thing to teach him what not to use his magic for.

Btw if you’re wondering I think the best thing for Cosmo would be to have a place where he can use his magic in whatever way he wants without putting anyone or anything at risk. More on that later actually. Second best would be to give him a wand restricting his magic but also I don’t think it would feel good to have something blocking what is supposed to feel natural for you, so it might not be a good solution actually…

In any case, having Mama Cosma reveal she’s been unhappy with her son’s powers this whole time, meaning she’s been lying to him this whole time, would hurt a lot, causing Cosmo to start drawing away from her. On top of that he was now almost an adult so it was also natural for him to seek some independence, even while still living under her roof.

Now onto Cosmo and Wanda’s early relationship (no idea how to make a transition here).

First off, I’m going with the backstory in which the two of them met at a diner, except neither of them were teenagers in my version. As mentioned before Cosmo would be in his late 90s and Wanda around early 130s.

And since I don’t think I mention it anywhere else in this post, I’m going with the headcanon of Cosmo being 10 000 years old during the og show, with him and Wanda being married for 9 895 years as of “Apartnership!” (that’s the number, right?). Which is also why Cosmo is in his late 90s when meeting Wanda, since it means he’d be 105 when they get married (or around that age if you consider that Cosmo is probably not exactly 10 000 years old in the show, rather something like 10 014 for example).

Cosmo would land himself a job as a waiter since he doesn’t need to use magic for it. He’d even let his wand home to further reassure his boss that he’s not doing any magic. He and Wanda meet when Wanda and Blonda come to the place to hang out. Wanda realizes he’s cute and finds herself surprised by it since as mentioned before she was raised with a toxic view of what a man is supposed to be like.

(More specifically I could see Blonda as being the one pointing him out and he accidentally spills a drink on her or something, causing Wanda to be like “oh you’re right sis I like him”.)

Wanda would convince him to go out with her, intrigued by that shy boyfailure trying his best, and during that hangout Cosmo would be pretty closed off, not using any magic partly because he didn’t bring his wand, offhandedly mentioning he got magical backup dozens of times, and by the end of it he’d be like “you’re very smart and pretty and spending time with you was very fun but it’s probably best if we don’t see each other again”.

After the “date” Wanda would talk about it to Blonda who’d probably mock her sister for scaring the guy away. Big Daddy would overhear some of the conversation and recognize Cosmo’s name as the infamous last fairy born whose terrible two almost caused the apocalypse. Wanda and Blonda would be flabbergasted because “dad that guy’s a complete wimp, what do you mean he’s one of the strongest fairies?!” and Wanda would quickly catch onto the fact that this sweet guy is considered a menace, goes around without a wand and has magical backup on the regular, all of which are not good signs.

She’d manage to convince Cosmo to meet her to talk and would just ask him if he’s okay, if he needs someone to talk to. And I could see Cosmo being very taken aback by it, like when he shows up Wanda says she knows about him being the last baby born so he’d immediately assume she’s here to tell him to stay away from her. But no she’s just worried for him and wants to offer some comfort. And with Cosmo at that point having lost trust in his mom, the only person he thought was in his corner, he’d open up to Wanda.

So the two of them would start spending time together, as friends since Cosmo clearly isn’t in the proper state to think about dating right now, though I like to think Wanda was pursuing him a little, if only making him know she’d be interested. But anyways Wanda would quickly catch onto the fact Cosmo never has his wand when they’re together and whenever she suggests he uses hers because it worries her to see him never do magic, he’d refuse, saying it’s safer that way.

Then one day while hanging out Cosmo gets the early signs of magical backup and Wanda doesn’t know what worries her most, seeing him have it or how calm he is about it, which shows how used to it he is. Doesn’t help that he’d insist she brings him home rather than have him use her wand to get rid of it immediately before it gets worse.

That would be the last straw for Wanda who would go to the people her dad works with (her “uncles”) to ask if they know any place where one could use their magic in possibly destructive ways without consequences. And one of them would tell her about the Hocus Poconos, a place where goes all the un-granted wishes from human children. As a result the place is pretty chaotic to begin with and nobody cares what happens to those wishes so it’s fully unsupervised.

So Wanda would waste no time telling Cosmo about that place, convincing him to bring his wand this time around, and after a lot of hesitation and some small wishes he’d start getting more comfortable and unleash his powers, growing visibly more confident. And dumb small note but seeing Cosmo in his element and visibly confident in himself is when Wanda sees him go from cute to hot.

In any case Cosmo would be incredibly grateful and start coming to the Hocus Poconos regularly on his own, feeling a sense of freedom in being able to unleash as much magic as he can while also finding himself loving kids’ imagination, which eventually leads him onto the path to become a godparent.

For Wanda, it’s after seeing Cosmo get better that she realizes how much she enjoys helping others and offer companionship and could see it become her profession. Also maybe the fact the Fairy Council wouldn’t be too keen on letting Cosmo on earth without supervision could influence it as well (meanwhile everyone would think they’re allowed to work together due to being a couple), but then again I don’t want it to be a “she chose this work solely for Cosmo” type of situation.

Same with her helping him with his confidence btw, hence me saying he’d go back to Hocus Poconos on his own. While Cosmo would definitely gush about Wanda saving his life, she didn’t “fix” him or anything like that. She was someone he could talk about his problems to and offered suggestions for things she thought could help him, but he still was the one who had to follow through on his own. And whenever Wanda had issues of her own, he’d return the favor, being there to comfort and help her.

And about him saying Wanda saved his life, after a while of using his magic more and more often, he’d think about how, if he hadn’t met someone like her to encourage him to use his magic without being afraid, he’d probably have either died of magical backup or from its side effects from having it too often. At the same time I’m not going to say “him thinking this is why he fell in love with Wanda” because again I don’t want to fall into the trap of a character “fixing” another or putting them on a pedestal.

Back on topic, having a place to spend his magic would do wonders for Cosmo’s self-esteem, giving him space to try new things, make mistakes or even just create a black hole or two if he feels like it. That doesn’t mean he’d suddenly be completely fine, he’d still feel self-conscious about people hating him for his magic (and tbh just looking at the og show Cosmo comes off as deeply insecure at times, so yeah he’s not suddenly all happy), but it would definitely put him into a better mental state.

Also, feeling more confident he’d start to reciprocate Wanda’s flirting, pursuing her back. And yeah as a result it would be one of those relationships where you significant other is also your best friend.

As for the “speed” of their relationship, I could see the transition from friends to lovers as being a bit slow due to them wanting to make sure this is truly what they both want and not just Cosmo lashing onto the first person he trusts, plus Wanda’s family life is dangerous so she wants Cosmo to make sure he knows what he’s getting himself into. But once their relationship gets serious there’s no stopping it.

And speaking of stopping it, Mama Cosma would notice that her son isn’t having magical backup anymore, causing him to tell her it’s thanks to a girl he’s into, even invite Wanda to dinner so she can meet his mom. Mama Cosma would not be happy about it and would be incredibly passive-aggressive during their meeting, with Wanda keeping the visit short as a result and Cosmo being pretty unhappy seeing how insistent his mom is that he shouldn’t date anyone.

On that note Mama Cosma could be another reason why they took it slow at first, Wanda made it clear she wasn’t having any “mamma’s boy” bullshit. It’s a bit more complicated during the events of the og show since it’s been a long time since Cosmo saw his mom and he believes (and promises to Wanda it’s the case) that his mom’s just being a bit protective due to how long it’s been. Then one day it turns out she was being verbally abusive when babysitting Peri and Cosmo cut contact again and profusely apologized to Wanda for letting his mom talk so much shit about her.

But yeah Cosmo would probably have many fights with his mom about it, Mama Cosma claiming it’s only a matter of time before Cosmo does something to scare Wanda away with his magic and how she’s the only one who can watch over him, while Cosmo is throwing in her face the fact she sent him to military school while Wanda loves him the way he is and is trying to help him in a much more constructive way.

I could actually see those arguments as a bit of a surprise to Mama Cosma because not only does Cosmo find his mom intimidating meaning he usually doesn’t speak out against her, but in general Mama Cosma would be used to getting her way, especially with him. The fact Cosmo is much more powerful than her would also bother her because she can’t just force him to go to his room or anything else. And if he does something to leave the conversation, she can’t stop him. So yeah those arguments wouldn’t be pretty.

And eventually, when Cosmo has to make the choice, he decides to chose Wanda, eloping in secret and never having any contact with his mom, at least until the events of the og show. There would likely be times when he deeply misses her but he remembers why he left home and that’s enough to keep him away.

For Wanda, she never straight up told her father that her and Cosmo were dating, she made it sound like they were nothing more than friends and if anything she works with Cosmo to “supervise” him (in Big Daddy’s first appearance we learn Wanda writes him letters so the two are still in touch). Big Daddy still wouldn’t be too happy about it tho, especially later on during the og show when he learns that they are a couple.

His issues with it are that 1. Cosmo isn’t exactly the height of masculinity so Big Daddy can’t help but look down on him for not being manly enough (I actually like to think this is why he believed Wanda’s lie that they weren’t a couple; he couldn’t conceive the possibility of Wanda dating such a guy) and 2. He remembers Cosmo’s Terrible Two very well and is worried about him hurting Wanda with his magic. Especially since him being a mafia boss means his daughter already got a target on her back, he doesn’t want her to be in even more risk.

(Note that Wanda was already a late teen/adult when Cosmo’s terrible two happened, so she at least heard of it and saw some of the consequences, but she likely didn’t see the worst of it; like maybe Big Daddy lives pretty far from the city center of Fairy World and had his daughters stay home during Cosmo’s terrible two while he was forced to continue working, hence seeing more than his girls)

(And if it needs to be said Big Daddy’s issues with Cosmo not being masculine enough have nothing to do with transphobia. Big Daddy would be fully accepting of Wanda and possibly Blonda (if they’re identical twins) being trans women and couldn’t care less about what Cosmo has in his pants. His problem is that Cosmo isn’t muscular, cries easily, is a bit of a cowards, and likes to wear stereotypically feminine clothing sometimes, none of which is related to Cosmo being trans.)

Ultimately he’s not as openly hostile as Mama Cosma but he definitely acts like Cosmo isn’t here when seeing him. And whenever Wanda comes to visit her dad, he doesn’t mention Wanda’s love life in any way and brushes it off quickly if Wanda does, or he shifts the conversation towards his grandson instead once Peri’s born. Note that I see Wanda as visiting her father without Cosmo, mainly for Cosmo’s safety because mafia.

Oh and Cosmo never met the guy before the og show but he did know who he was from hearing about him from Wanda + possibly knowing his company’s name. Wanda would have also warned him about the mafia part hence why Cosmo is so nervous and visibly scared of the guy in the show. He might not be the brightest bulb but he understands the danger this man brings with him.

Finishing this post with a few words about Poof/Peri, when Cosmo was pregnant he would have had some worries over how powerful the kid would end up being, wishing to protect his baby from the emotional mess he went through. And while the kid is more powerful than average, Cosmo was infinitely relieved to see Peri remains much weaker than him.

That’s not to say it’s all sunshine and rainbows, again I go further into it in the baby ban post but the short version is that the Fairy Council is keeping an eye on Peri on account of being Cosmo’s son, including giving him a wand that reduces his magic despite him technically not needing it.

Cosmo isn’t the biggest fan of that wand but he’d rather have this than Peri going through hell for being too powerful. Meanwhile Wanda’s getting tired of Fairy World punching down on her boys. On that note once fairies realized the baby ban wasn’t going away anytime soon and started to hate on the Fairywinkle-Cosmas, Coswan quickly decided they’d move out of Fairy World once Peri’s old enough to take care of himself, hence the 10 000 years vacation followed by them “moving” to the human world.

(Note that they would invite Peri to their vacation + send him postcards + look for him after coming back, it’s just that Peri refused to go so he could have some time for himself + turned off the wand location thing, probably also left a message at home saying he found a job and is doing fine, hence why they weren’t too worried for him)

That being said (the wand restriction thing) I could definitely see Peri at some point hurting someone at spellementary school (which would be before he got his wand change) and deciding not to use his magic anymore, leading to him and Cosmo having a heart-to-heart about their magics.

Tbh this could also be a reason why Peri seems closer to Cosmo, maybe they bonded over being deemed too powerful. That being said Cosmo wouldn’t tell his son the extent of his situation, not wanting to worry him. Especially since he’d be doing much better now and is genuinely happy so there’s no point dwelling on the bad parts of his past.

#Fairly Oddparents #fop #Cosmo Fairywinkle-Cosma #Wanda Fairywinkle-Cosma #Peri Fairywinkle-Cosma #Mama Cosma #Big Daddy Fairywinkle #Flor talks #long post #*slapping Cosmo's head* this bad boy can hold so much trauma in him #very amused by how this wasn't supposed to be its own post but instead a bunch of thoughts sprinkled through the other ones #but then it got ridiculously long so here we are #also it was supposed to be all about Cosmo hence why his part is much longer #but since I got a few ideas for Wanda I put them in; girl deserves some love too #the 'Cosmo and Wanda relationship' part is an example of something I COULD turn into a fic #but don't have enough ideas for what to put in-between the 'important' scenes I have in mind to make the story work #also I'm very bad at fluff

Brenda "Blonda" Fairywinkle

Basic Details:

-Brenda is her first name. Blonda is her stage name. Undecided on a middle name

-Age is around 40,000

-Female

-Straight

-Parents are Yolonda and Miguel Fairywinkle, is the older twin sister of Wanda Fairywinkle, and is the Aunt of Cassia and Poof "Peri" Fairywinkle.

-Is not currently married or dating anyone. Also has no children of her own.

Appearance:

Blonda is rather short compared to her mother, Yolonda, but is slightly taller than Wanda by an inch. While she shares her sister and father's magenta eyes, she has long, blond hair that swirls at the tips just like Yolonda's. Her face is often caked with make-up; light-blue eyeshadow often the focal point of her look to match her sparkling, light-blue gowns. She's also very rarely seen without jewelry on as well, choosing silver or sky blue pearly to compliment her gowns.

Personality, Likes, and Dislikes:

During her childhood, Blonda almost always gotten what she wanted. Since she wasn't as involved in her father's company, Miguel often neglected her from his work and offered her money (or whatever she's throwing a tantrum for) in order to keep her out of his hair. Meanwhile, Yolonda had a habit of spoiling the girls due to her "fun but irresponsible parent" nature, making Blonda believe she's entitled to the finer things in life.

Despite getting everything she wanted, Blonda often felt alone or as if the world was against her. She became an actress in hopes that people would admire her and she would become famous; alongside wanting a high-paying career and had no interest in god parenting.

After her career took off, she moved to Fairywood to star in huge productions that eventually led to her making millions (though not nearly as wealthy as her parents). She really only called home anymore to ask for money for luxuries and new cars, until Big Daddy decided enough was enough, cutting her off. Angered by this, Blonda exposed Big Daddy's trash company to be "mafia like and practicing illegal and unethical practices" and is currently trying to make sure her father doesn't find out she was responsible for ratting him out, knowing that she'll "sleep with the fishes" if he finds out.

Thank to her poor relationship with her father, Blonda often has a poor outlook towards men, claiming that a real man would stay at home and do as his woman says, abandoning his job to stay home and take care of the kids, since deep down, that's what she wishes Miguel would have done for her.

Noteable Relationships:

Miguel Fairywinkle: Blonda was often neglected by a very busy, CEO Miguel during her childhood, resulting in her resenting the male side of Fairyworld. Their relationship further deteriorated after Blonda had exposed his company after getting cut off, resulting in her having to hide from Miguel's guards.

Yolonda Fairywinke: Though not in contact with her after moving to Fairywood, Blonda considers Yolonda to be her favorite parent, as she has no problem giving Blonda whatever she wanted. Out of her and her husband, Yolonda was also the one that gave Blonda more praise and attention, in contrast to whenever Miguel would take Wanda to work at the business.

Wanda Fairywinkle: The two don't get along well, and both believe they are both superior to each other. Wanda believes her sister is lazy and entitled, and Blonda believes that Wanda's parents prefer her since she's shown some interest in Miguel's company. Blonda is often seen flirting with Wanda's husband, Cosmo, mostly to get back at her for being the golden child of their childhood.

Note

So, you said that Cosmo and Wanda end up having two kids. With they're third attempt ending in a miscarriage. Very sad. But I'm not asking about that, because you must have a story you want to write about it or something.

No, my question is. Are Cosmo and Wanda the only ones who had/have children? Like does any of the other sibs have kids?

I can easily imagine Chelsea being a mum in the future. She would be an amazing mum I just know it.

Blonda and Schnozmo however, not so much. Maybe as a fun thought, but as a genuine belief? no I don't see these two having any kids.

What are your thoughts?

Yes, they're the only one who've had kids so far, as they are the only ones that had married. Darren's way too warped up in his own problems to consider a relationship atm, and Blonda's not really interested in a committed relationship. She just wants to flirt with any remotely cute guy she comes across, or anyone she believes she can fool into doing her favors.

I don't have an official story on their miscarriage but it would be fun to write about. Gah, I need to stop procrastinating...

Chelsea might be a good mom, and it might be possible for her to have kids some day, especially considering she does have a boyfriend, but as of now, she's currently happy enough focusing on her career and trying to support herself. As long as she's not under the same roof as Nora, she's happy. Maybe kids in the future for her when finances are stable, but Chelsea's in no rush.

That being said, I still wanna do the Darren finds his long lost child after prison story, just because it would be fun to experiment with Darren a little more.

ooc: eve goes to romania pt.2: 2022!

i reckon we should jump right into this bc hoo wee did i ramble here. i need to write a travel log someday and publish it. that’d be fun. anyway:

let’sa go!

to preface, let me explain that i absolutely had an ulterior motive when travelling out to bucharest this time around. it was first time i travelled since the pandemic; granted, they didn’t need proof of vaccination or a covid test done prior to arrival, but i was worried that i had somehow forgotten how to go about airports and independent movement abroad. my worries weren’t justified, thankfully :)

it was my first time travelling alone. this was extremely important, as i had always planned to make my next trip to bucharest with someone else. that didn’t happen, and i had to do this now for myself. this would change my plans for the future. i had to see if i could live in bucharest, if i really, really wanted to. believe me, i was challenged on this decision a lot lol. every romanian i spoke to about this seemed very confused.

and they were lovely! my spoken romanian has absolutely decayed since my MA studies (and now i have my motivation to revise it!!) but those i spoke to were eager to humour me/let me practice. if i ever stumbled, or if they spoke too quickly (90% of the time this was the case), i knew how to ask if they spoke english. 100% of the time, the answer was yes, but if i then wanted to reply in romanian, they would continue to support me!

capital cities are never the best way to see a true reflection of a country and it’s people; i know i’d never say that londoners are a reflection of those living in manchester or brighton, for example. it’s a very different beast. thankfully, i work in london, so i know what to contend with. there’s a constant rushing, and not just on the roads. and bucharest’s roads are fast. granted, because their main roads are 3, sometimes 4 lanes wide (perfect for national parades!), the speed limit can afford to be higher. i don’t think my uber driver to the airport on my final day slowed down from 70mph, ever! he earnt that tip fair and square. nice work, teodor.

my apartment was in a communist block on one of bucharest’s busier streets, right at the top of sector five; a stone’s throw from cismigiu park in one direction, and downtown in the other. my airbnb host (another sweetheart, who gave me so many food recommendations) had warned me about the noise, but i can’t sleep in too quiet a room. i found the noise comforting. yes, even the 4am ambulance siren. i learnt that the crows of bucharest all roost in cismigiu park, as well! a cloud of black wings and cawing descended on the park at dusk, and left again at dawn, without fail.

september is still very warm in bucharest, and i foolishly packed for a british autumn. the metro stations especially were VERY warm, and i was pleasantly surprised at how spacious the stations and trains were. the map is extremely easy to follow (not the spaghetti mess that is the london underground), and there’s signs constantly telling you where to go/what platforms to go to for your stop/etc. london should take notes here.

speaking of spaghetti, i did eat a lot of pasta during my stay. i already knew that romanians are big fans of italian food and coffee, and they do it very well! my favourite restaurant in the city served the best damn calzone i’ve ever eaten; with truffle salsa and this lovely, sweet marinara sauce. the romanian gin was refreshing, and easy on the palette. otherwise, i tried to have a shot of palinca with every dinner... and had to call it quits halfway through my trip lol. i can’t keep up with the locals. i fought hard to find my favourite romanian beer in bucharest; silva blonda. pale ales are more popular in transylvania, apparently.

i drank a lot of lemonade during my stay as well; with honey and mint; which helped with the cold i caught on the flight over. romanian lemonade just hits different.

i saw plenty of gentlemen’s clubs (yes, they really were ‘men only’. i was mad.) and plenty of bars offered hookah. i didn’t try this time, as i was advised to try it with a group for my first try, but it did look fun! every big billboard ad was for a gambling site of some sort, and watching international football on tv also saw it littered with betting ads. all registered, mind you, and they need to make that very clear. small businesses have to do the same, and display certificates in their windows, i noticed. this included the ‘box shops’ stationed on busy streets and corners; many being newstands and florists. there’s a lot of florists, and young women walking around with bouquets. i’m sure you could’ve guessed that this made me incredibly happy.

i saw some beautiful roses at the botanical gardens, and heard the city stay silent for the church bells and chanting early on a sunday morning. that in itself is incredible, and hearing the services was nothing short of magical. that morning, i met up with a photographer for an airbnb experience and we clicked nearly immediately. a history student at bucharest’s university, an introvert, a cat person. we’re now mutuals on instagram, and have promised to host the other when they next visit our respective capitals.

she was one to suggest i visited romania’s national art gallery (and prioritise that wing of the gallery over the european one) and i’m delighted that i did. she also told me to prioritise carturesti carusel; romania’s most famous bookshop, and one of the most beautiful in the world. i bought a couple of translated books; “nostalgia” by mircea cartarescu, and an anthology of poems by nichita stanescu!

of course, i wasn’t just in bucharest, and did spend a couple of days in brasov; getting there by train from gara de nord; bucharest’s main train station. it was painless, and i wasn’t subjected to any significant delays... although i did see one delay of two hours for a train due to arrive from vienna.

brasov looks incredibly different; a city surrounding a mountain with beautiful, colourful buildings. it was the first city i volunteered in, eight years ago, so this visit was more for nostalgia. i hiked to the top of that mountain in the morning (and found out that it was home to 9 rare species of wasp... the hard way), and stood next to the hollywood-styled sign at the top. just like i did 8 years ago.

i chatted to an american at dinner the night before (from queens, and the son of romanian immigrants, now visiting grandparents still in ro) and became fast friends with him as well! we were both eavesdropping on a tour group behind us, quietly judging our respective countrymen, and i invited him to chat once they left. his romanian was a lot better than mine. lol.

asides that, i also (finally) got myself to sinaia to see peles and pelisor castles. both are stunning, of course; something out of a fairytale. complete with the misty mountain setting, as this was the only day i had rain. themes for the architecture, inside and out, come from all over europe; but is especially obvious in the saxon and baroque influences. i had the best goulash for lunch there. the food overall on my trip was pretty great!

this trip left me physically exhausted with all the walking and hiking, i missed pearl terribly after befriending all the stray cats (and there’s a lot!), and i bought a whole bunch of goodies! a lot of milka! a well-known balkan peace offering lol.

for photos and the like, i’m going to plug my insta (wink), and encourage you to watch the story i made for my 2022 visit to ro! i got some banger photos, too, as well as some from the photoshoot i’m yet to drop. i’m pretty sorted for munday now lol.

and... yeah! thank you for reading thank you for dealing with my ooc posting i need to get to work on getting my work visa now. after another week of pto. i’m shattered.

#i had the best time. it was comforting but also enlightening. i really want to make my future there.#i have a lot of work to do to make that happen but after the last three years i lost my way. i lost who i was.#if anywhere was going to remind who i am and what i want: it's romania #mâna autorului ✧ ooc

FOP OC: Shu Cullen

Name: Shu Mac Cullen

Age: 13

Occupation(s): Junior Celebrity, Movie/TV series/Musical actor

Aliases: Shu Cullen

Friend(s): Timmy (his biggest fan as well)

Interest(s): Fame, being in important roles, acting, singing, chocolates

Relative(s): Evan Macintosh Cullen (father), Lilico Cullen (mother; deceased), Dior Mac Cullen (twin brother)

Character Shu Mac Cullen is a Scottish-Japanese junior celebrity born in Dimmsdale. His father Evan Cullen is a 2nd wealthiest Scottish billionaire as his late mother Lilico was famous American-born Japanese top star. Shu has twin brother Dior, who is also a young celebrity. Debuted in Hollywood since age 5, Shu has seen the bright and dark side of entertainment as he developed fierce personality. He enjoys his job and in every show or movie he starred in become popular. When the actors doesn't take acting seriously or the staffs doesn't do their work properly, he unleash a world-class "tantrum", frightening them. One thing that calms him down is chocolate confections or sweets. Despite his slightly spoiled and fierce temper, he cares for his family, fans and people who put their efforts in productions. It is revealed that Timmy is his biggest fan.

Background Born from Scottish Noble lineage and Japanese rich family, Shu was a multi-talented boy who debuted in musical films in Hollywood at age 5, becoming famous since then. He and his younger twin Dior started off as models for little children's outfits then both went their path to entertainments. However, compare to Dior who relies on his good looks only, Shu succeeded in his career through his talents, individualities and efforts without his parents' support. Timmy saw one of his TV series called "Geek Tragedy", a satire musical show about Greek Gods where Shu acted as Hermes breaking 4th walls by interacting with audience while making fun of most Greek deities. Since then, Timmy admired the boy's acting and singing skills.

In Movie Magic AU, he makes a first appearance seen with Tad and Chad on movie set as the kid were watching. Angered by Tad and Chad's lack of efforts in acting, he threatened to feed them the scripts so they could at least memorize them. His sudden act of "tyranny" scared the popular boys, but it made Timmy become his bigger fan, shyly asked him for his autograph. Flattered with the fact someone likes him despite his personalities, he agreed and even took selfie with her. When Timmy wanted to win the Dimmsdale short film-making festa, she couldn't wish to win the competition as it was against Da Rules. Overhearing her problem by the park, Shu offered to help as he doesn't have other schedules and her friends were so stunned by his presence. Much later, their musical short film "Lucky" was premiered. It shows the story of a star named Lucky Bleu (starred by Shu) who goes through fame and fortune but was unhappy with his life, and his close friend "Missy Fortune" (starred by Timmy) skipped their schedules and had fun as "normal" children, sending audience life lessons. Initially, the popular kids sneered at the turn of Timmy's project, however as the film ends, the audience seat was erupted with clapping and cheers as Timmy won the Dimmy Award, congratulated by her friends, her fairies and Shu as she noticed he looked content. With understanding smile, she waved to him as he was taking to the limo with his family to catch up his schedules.

Later, it is revealed Shu Mac Cullen to have siblings issue as he and Dior were in constant argument. In "Blondes Have More Fun", Timmy was seen exhausted from hearing Wanda's bitter ranting about her twin sister Blonda who didn't take the god parenting job seriously to the point of mocking it. Soon, she sees Shu who was tired from his twin brother Dior causing trouble. So, Timmy made a wish that for a week, Blonda becomes Shu and Dior's godmother. At first, they were reluctant to work together until Blonda becomes fond of Dior as she learned of the boy's admiration for his brother but his insecurities caused by Hollywood and medias drift them apart. Finally realizing the importance of god-parenting, Blonda put her efforts in restoring their brotherly bond (and happily grant their wish to pull pranks on ones who came in between their brotherhood).

Maria / Anti-Ember Anti-Coppertalon - High Countess before Anti-Bryndin. Married to High Count Anti-Henrie. Her firstborn, Anti-Dusty Jr., was rejected as her heir since he did not carry the iris virus.

Anti-Ember has a reputation for violence towards Fairies and led them during the War of the Sunset Divide; however, she was always kind to her family. Her funeral was held in “Where We Set Our Fires” (Frayed Knots). Fire. Hound.

---

Mona / Anti-Saffron Anti-Feldspar (Bio) - Anti-Cosmo’s childhood betrothed, whom he snagged through dubious circumstances in “Fun With Yarn” (Frayed Knots Chapter 3). She’s an anti-qalupalik who wears an amauti, hums on a near-constant basis, and has frizzy black hair. High Countess of the Anti-Fairies prior Anti-Wanda. Mother of Eurydice / Anti-Miranda and Nova / Anti-Phoenix. Soil. Badger.

Vatajasa Name: Ru-vika d’hi (Hi) - Kindness of the sun

---

Noon / Anti-Lance Anti-Sundive - Anti-Cosmo’s roommate from school; a very intelligent Anti-Fairy whose diplomacy earned him the respect of many Fairy peers. He held a seat of the Anti-Fairy Council for awhile but has had his sights on a Fairy Council position since the Barrier went down. He has the best hair of all my OCs and if you ever forget that, I will be sad. Sky. Salamander.

---

Nova / Anti-Phoenix Anti-Feldspar - Daughter of Anti-Saffron (Anti-Cosmo’s ex-wife) and........ hm. She’s Talon’s “twin” and makes a few appearances in Frayed Knots and very rare appearances in other works. Breath. Badger.

Vatajasa Name: Shon-vi d'tatla (Tatla) - Journey through the unknown

---

Rae / Anti-Zoe Anti-Snowbeam - Second wife of Anti-Bryndin. No one besides Anti-Bryndin seems to know anything about her. Rumor has it he keeps her imprisoned in a grain silo. Her Fairy counterpart is married to Anti-Bryndin’s counterpart, and she’s the mother of Anti-Phillip and Anti-Stacey. Water. Cobra.

---

Roselle / Anti-Coleen Anti-Fernfire - A dame whose family runs the spa and summer migration retreat, Maplefeather Point. Despite her noble blood, she’s rather lax about her status. She is married to Anti-Richter and (more importantly) is the mother of Anti-Whistle. Breath. Rhino.

Vatajasa Name: Odó d’srón (Srón) - Pride of the rhinos

---

Soren / Anti-Whistle Anti-Fernfire - First anti-fairy baby born after Foop; a nervous little aristocrat horrified that his wealthy parents have no interest in presenting a dignified image. Partly resents Foop, partly has a crush on him, and sucks up to him either way. Breath. Rhino.

Vatajasa Name: Mon d’ichord (Ichord-kaü) - Kiss of the gods

Soren is only addressed as Ichord-kaü around Foop; it’s the suffix for “These two share a crown name, so we’re denoting -kaü as the younger.” When Foop isn’t around, he’s just addressed as Ichord. In essence, his name is “Little kiss of the gods.”

---

Smoky / Anti-Dusty Anti-Fairywinkle III - Foop’s younger brother; first in line to inherit the High Count position if Foop screws up. Soil. Hound.

Vatajasa Name: Kru-nie d’maa (Maa-kaü) - Song of the mountain

Smoky is frequently addressed as Maa-kaü (Not just maa) because First General Anti-Poof - who also lives in the Blue Castle - has the crown name Maa as well. In essence, his name is “Little song of the mountain.”

---

Telford “Talon” / Anti-Westley Anti-Lunifly - An anti-fairy raised to be Anti-Cosmo’s heir long before Foop was born. Anti-Cosmo and H.P. share custody of him; they both tend to coddle him and leave discipline to his other parent, so he’s grown up a spoiled brat. Annoyed with Foop’s existence, but usually keeps his mouth shut about it... Usually. He’s “twins” with Nova / Anti-Phoenix. Breath. Fox.

Vatajasa Name: Urn d’eskel (Eskel-ju) - Strength of the trees

Talon is only addressed as Eskel-ju when it’s necessary to clarify he isn’t Anti-Cosmo, who is also Eskel. -ju is the suffix for “This child is named after the parent, who shares the crown name.”

---

Tiberius / Anti-Robin Anti-Cosma, Sr. - Anti-Cosmo’s late father, who was a kitchen servant for most of his life. Close friends with H.P.’s counterpart, Anti-Fergus. He died when Anti-Cosmo was two years old, so they never formed a real relationship. However, he did bond with his older son, Anti-Robin Jr.

Anti-Robin’s most notable appearance is in “Let It Happen,” when he is seen courting Anti-Florensa in their younger years. Breath. Rat.

Vatajasa Name: Day d’lin (Lin) - Love of the birds

---

Venus / Anti-Wanda Anti-Fairywinkle (Bio) - High Countess; Munn’s medium. She often travels Anti-Fairy World and is much beloved by her people. She’s much more famous than her sister is, as opposed to their counterparts. Sky. Hound.

Vatajasa Name: Tas-vi d’vixil (Vixil) - Whisper of the flower

---

Winslow / Anti-Phillip Anti-Coppertalon - Son of the former High Count Anti-Bryndin; former heir to the High Count seat; older brother of Lia / Anti-Stacey, Anti-Cosmo’s rival; part of Anti-Wanda’s camarilla court; good friend of Sanderson’s. Soil. Hound.

setting suns and sunny smiles

Genre: Fluff, Jongdae x Admin T at @noona-clock

Contains: an attempt at a proposal fic, jongdae being his sunny self, beaches

🎧: Lose Control - Lay

Happy happy happy birthday my dear! My fellow island girl and Blondae enthusiast, I hope your birthday weekend was filled with lots of fun and laughter. I haven’t known you for very long, but that time was enough for me to experience one of the coolest coincidences ever (we’re both Filipino AND lived in Guam/Saipan?!) and for me to know that you are such a sweet, kind, hardworking person! I hope you enjoy this fluffy Jongdae thingy💖💖

“Well good morning, sleepyhead.” Jongdae laughed as he caught sight of T stumbling out onto the back porch, still clearly disoriented from just waking up. “That was the longest nap anyone that I know has ever taken.”

She blinked, trying to get rid of that feeling of sleep behind her eyelids. “Shut up,” she grumbled, walking up next to him. T mimicked his pose, leaning her forearms on the porch’s railing. The cool ocean air was refreshing on her face and the gentle lull of the waves was calming enough to put her back to sleep. She’d have to thank Junmyeon for letting her and Jongdae use his beach house for the weekend.

“Are you hungry? We’ve got leftovers from lunch in the fridge.”

T shook her head. “Let’s just stay here for a while.”

“I like that idea.” Jongdae pulled her in close and wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind. She laughed when she felt him press a kiss to her shoulder.

“You’re awfully touchy,” she said.

“Well you were gone for a whole three hours,” he pouted jokingly. “I was alone for so long.”

“So needy,” she teased, turning around in his grasp.

“Can’t help it when it’s you.” He grinned cheekily.

T rolled her eyes. “So cheesy, too.” She let him kiss her once, twice, three times, before she turned back around to look at the ocean. The sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange. T could see people playing in the waves from where she stood, could hear the laughter of children.

The two of them stood there for a long time in silence, just watching the sun drop lower and lower in the sky. Jongdae sprinkled kisses all over T’s shoulders, on the back of her neck, on her cheek, anywhere he could reach without letting go of her. “Did you have fun this weekend?” he asked, voice softer and more serious than before.

“Yeah,” T replied. And she had. The weekend had been filled with laughter, food, sunshine, and of course Jongdae. Everything was great with Jongdae.

“I’m glad,” he replied, hugging her closer. “I’ve got one more thing to show you before we go home tomorrow, though.”

“What?” she asked, trying to turn around. However, Jongdae held her in place.

“Don’t turn around yet. Just watch the sunset for a sec, ‘kay?”

T did as he said, the breeze making her shiver slightly without Jongdae’s body heat. There was only silence for a few seconds, but she knew he was still there because she hadn’t heard the door. T thought she heard him inhale shakily before he said, “Okay, turn.”

There he was, down on one knee with a ring in hand. He looked up at her with hopeful eyes.

“T…”

“Yes!” she blurted out, covering her mouth as soon as the word had left.

Jongdae froze, but then burst out in laughter. “You could at least let me finish, you jerk,” he said, grinning. “I planned this for weeks.”

“I’m sorry,” she laughed. “Go on.”

“Okay.” He steadied himself. “T. I used to think I would never get married. But I knew that good things come to those who wait, and well… I waited and here you are.”

He cleared his throat, shifting on his knee. “You’re the single most beautiful person in the entire world. And you make me happier than anyone ever has. I love you so much, even when you take too long to wake up and interrupt my proposal speech, which by the way, would have been so much better if you didn’t do that.” T laughed at that, wiping at the tears threatening to trail down her cheeks.

“So, will you marry me?” He smiled, eyes so full of love. “And now is when you say yes.”

“Yes. Of course, yes.” Jongdae slid the ring on her finger before kissing the back of her hand. He stood up and she immediately threw her arms around his shoulders, her lips meeting his.

“I love you,” she whispered when you finally parted. He smiled prettily, face colored gold from the sunset.

“I love you too. Jerk.”

If you're still doing the otp thing, 2, 7, 26, and 29 for cosmo and wanda?? I love them haha

sorry it took me a while to get back to you, Nonnie! weather here’s been Nasty

otp question meme

2. Big spoon/Little spoon?Cosmo is usually the big spoon because he loves wrapping his arms around Wanda. There's a lot of her to hug and he's out to beat the world's longest hug record! Sometimes Wanda will ambush him if he turns his back on her and pretend like she's a jet pack.

7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?For Cosmo it's his level of self awareness. He's suddenly a lot more worried about what people think of him and of every time he does something embarrassing or klutzy.For Wanda it's how she arranges her priorities. Making her parents proud and showing up Blonda becomes a lot less important than letting herself have someone who actually makes her happy and is genuinely fun to be around. When they get around to admitting feelings for each other, working out whatever issues they might come with comes a lot easier.

26. What would be their theme song?I'm partial to The Cab's "Endlessly", albeit it might be more befitting for their relationship Before they ran away together and got married. That said, they sang "Floating With You" themselves and who am I to argue with what they want ;D

29. one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heartit's not exactly about Cosmo and Wanda as a couple but something that always makes me sad when I think about it is how many kids they've had to say goodbye to and how it's a part of their lives as godparents that they've had to come to terms with and accept for thousands of years that probably never ever gets any easier for them. And after spending a CONSIDERABLY longer time with Timmy than any other child, he's likely going to be their toughest farewell that they might accidentally end up privately comparing any future godchild to.

26/01/2017 - Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Ola people! I trust all is well in your worlds.

Before I start with the update, I have 2 messages and a piece of news. First, Happy Birthday to my big bro Benjamin who is 36 today (hahaha). Second, good luck to my little sis Flora who is performing in "Legally Blonda" the musical in the lead part no less, over this weekend. Amazing! All my sibs are either getting very successful, starting jobs and careers, living it up in cities, driving, drinking in pubs or getting closer and closer to the big 4-0 (Ben and I, Ben more than me though!). Scary stuff! Third is the news. I shaved my beard of this week in a moment of madness and now deeply regret it. I am genuinely upset that I now find myself bare faced and have started the pain staking process of regrowing the thatch. If you could all just be mindful of the difficult and upsetting situation I find myself in, it would be much appreciated.

Not much has occurred over here in Spain. Still at the same site just outside a town called Aguilas. We've been here just over 2 weeks now and I'm ready to move on! The weathers been great other than 4 days of serious wind and rain last week, the site is nice, but I don't like the area that much. Mountain biking, which as you all know by now is high up my list of priorities, has been shit here. Seriously shit. All wide gravel roads, private land and dead end climbs up hills. I've had some pretty disastrous rides over the 2 weeks here, the last of which was yesterday during my birthday ride.

I had it all planned to do this coastal ride I'd found in a local tourist book. Starting at a place called Cabo Cope, I’d be riding up to Puntas de Calnegre then back down to Cabo Cope. A 19 miler which I pictured being something like riding a narrow coastal path in Cornwall, or so I thought. The reality was not even close. I rode 7 miles of boring wide gravel track (AGAIN), at which point the route ahead had collapsed in front of me where the cliff had selfishly slid into the sea, leaving me nowhere to go but back where I came from! To add insult to injury, I decided to take a detour and head down into a cove, but got a little bit carried way on the decent and stacked it onto some rocks after hitting some sand.

Crashing relatively hard is funny thing. At almost 6 foot 4 inches and weighing in at reasonable heavy weight boxer kg's, I'm not the most agile. I get hit with three categories of pain. First, which we'll call "the rag dolling phase" is the initial jarring of the impact, wheel digging in, or whatever is throwing me from my bike. It's a bit like mini whiplash and just makes you feel like you've pulled muscles or strained tendons or ligaments. It's during this one that I make my obligatory girly noise. It's kind of a high pitched wince. Like you've taken a punch in the gut that's winded you, but you don't want to let on that you're hurt. I do that mid air. The second, which we'll call "the sack of shit phase" is obviously hitting the deck. This is usually either a hard knock to bony bits like knees and elbows, further jarring or some nice gravel, rock or rock rash. The third comes while in a pile on the ground. We'll call this "the moment of truth phase". This comes in like an unwanted belated birthday card as your brain runs through the damage you've done and decides which it needs to tell you about in order of priority. This is when you find out if something's broken or just a bit battered. All you can do is lie down or walk it off and see if there's any serious damage. That's the not so fun bit. Especially given your dickhead of a brain will often scream at you about some road rash while your foot is pointing the wrong way. The damage I always check for first, is damage to my pride. I jump up like nothing's happened, pick up the bike and start pushing while looking around for any unwanted witnesses. Once I know I'm in the clear, I check the most important thing, my bike. Once that's taken care of, I lie back down and let the pain wash over me before moving the sore bits to check for serious damage. Luckily I've never done much more than jar my neck, sprain a wrist of give myself some gravel rash. The bike doesn't always do so well. I've bent a crank, bent a set of handle bars, snapped a peddle off and buckled a wheel to name a few.

Anyway, enough of that. The riding here is shit so the next stop is The Sierra Nevada to make up for it.

The Sierra Nevada, for those who don't know, is a mountain range in the south of Spain with a highest point of 11,411 feet. This time of year the ski resort near the top is in full operation if it's not too warm. During the summer months the same lifts are used to transport mountain bikers up the mountain. Luckily, the slopes lower down the hill are covered in trails and see very little snow, so the riding is still some of the best in Spain. The only down side is that we'll be in land and at a higher altitude meaning the temperature will be much cooler. Erin's agreed to the colder weather for a week (so far) as I've been talking about the Sierra Nevada since before we left. I hope it lives up to the hype!

What else? We've got the usual array of people on this site that I've given not so PC names to. I won’t tell you the names but there's the woman up the way that claims someone kicked her dog the other day. This I doubt as she seems a bit mental and the dog looks like a good sneeze would kill it. There's the English neighbour who's really nice but always has something to complain about. There's the Swedish couple who were dog walking on their travels somewhere and saw a fucking Brown Bear right next to them in the woods! They had to stop and stay perfectly still until the Bear got bored and wondered off! Holy frigging shit!

The dawgs are good. We're struggling to find good food for them here or even to stay consistent from one bag to the next. This latest bag has made Bear particularly pungent. Some days it feels like my eye balls are going to fall out! I was fast asleep on the bed the other day with Bear next to me farting away. Unbeknown-st to me, during the night, Bear had turned around leaving my face at the business end of a very smelly English Bulldog, on food that turns his bum into a radioactive fallout zone. Instead of telling me, Erin just lay there and watched in disbelief, unable to believe the blasts from Bear weren't waking me up. Little fart story for you there.

Bear also had his jabs this week. No appointment needed, just rock up and get seen to in no time. Awesome! Erin took him in and apparently he got a good reception from the male vets in the building. They were all talking fast in Spanish while fussing him, but Erin made out the word "Amigo" said lots of times.

What else!? Oh, I came back from a trip to the supermarket today, only to be told that one of the guys trimming the palm trees here took a leak in front of all the caravans on ours and another row, even though there's a bog 50 metres away. These boys will piss anywhere, anytime with any audience. Little piss story for you there. `

What else!? All the usual really. Some nice walks which I'll add some photos of, bit of sunbathing, reading, watched the Matrix Films, eating, sleeping in and chilling out. We even had fish n chips as they do fish n chip Friday here, which has just made me realise it's fish n chip Friday again tomorrow!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Update - just checked with Erin and we won’t be having fish n chips tomorrow. I forgot it was 16 euros! 4 euros more than it costs us to stay here for 1 night!

I think that's it folks. Next update from the Sierra Nevada!

Don’t forget - “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” St Augustine.

TTFN!!!
