Spoilers for the fop: a new wish ending.

TW for vague-ish allusions to child abuse/neglect

(I've never written for Tumblr before. Go easy on me.)

----

His interrogator is a child.

Timmy had started to think today was just not his day somewhere in between "coming home from vacation to an invaded Fairy World" and "Being captured by anti-fairies minutes away from the chip and tied to a chair with iron chains". Dale Dimmadone and fucking Foop (Irep. Oh who cares.) of all people being his captors had been the confirmation.

Now there's a child with sunglasses scowling at him, and he's just bracing himself for whatever this damn day throws at him next.

"Why didn't you talk?"

Timmy considers the question for about 5 seconds before deciding he doesn't care enough to weave a lie.

"Fairies can't break the rules, not directly. It applies to revealing secrets too, not my fault they couldn't figure it out."

"But you're not a fairy, the nets didn't work on you, only iron seems to have some kind of effect."

He gives the kid a wry smile. "Burning sting" was definitely An effect.

"Not that hard to figure out; once-human, means exactly what you think it means. So yeah, Maybe I just don't want to give that idiot answers, considered that?"

The kid gives him an angry look, Timmy just raises an eyebrow.

"Don't call my dad an idiot. Do you even know who he is? He seemed to know you, that's for sure."

"Did he ever tell you about a lemonade factory? I pulled him out of there, I knew THAT Dale. Whoever the golden-toothed asshole outside is he's not anyone I care to know, that's for sure."

The kid looks somehow angrier, Timmy continues undeterred.

"I do want to know your name at least, I'm getting tired of calling you "kid" in my head."

"You first."

"Smart. It's Timmy, Timmy T-... Fairywinkle-Cosma."

He's not surprised to feel a spark of recognition from the kid, the sunglasses hide his face but for the average fairy any emotion, especially a kid's, is as visible as ever. What he IS surprised to see is a curl of dread.

"Dev. Dev Dimmadone- why don't you just give up? We've got all the fairies under nets, the chip is gone so they can't do magic anyways, and you're in chains with no way to escape. Dad even offered you-"

"There's nothing he could offer that would make me give up on my family."

There's... a picture, that's starting to be painted in Timmy's mind, and he doesn't like one bit of it; Dev must be the kid Irep used to accomplish this plan, there's no other explanation for the kid being here and knowing so much about fairies otherwise. Dev is a Godkid. Dev is Peri's Godkid-

"What about letting your family go? Would that be enough?"

"... You don't know anything, do you?"

He might have put too much venom in those words by the way the kid visibly flinches and goes silent, but in that moment he doesn't care.

"Do you know what happens when a fairy doesn't grant wishes? Their magic begins to build up, bit by bit- it gets harder to breathe, to do anything without feeling absolutely horrible- and then they're gone, just like that. Without the Big Wand, without the ability to grant wishes, that's what awaits all of them- all of US. Your dad is a short-sighted idiot who doesn't realise I'm not exempt from this- so even if I did tell him how to become like me, he'd have the exact same fate. We'd both be dead and the Anti-fairies would have a grand ol' laugh about it."

"Irep-"

"Irep doesn't care about you. I don't give a damn what he told you, but it's obvious he kept you in the dark about basically all of this and now he's off to do the same to Dale. You need to accept you've been used, kid."

Dev is quiet, eyes fixed on the floor. Timmy's anger deflates slightly; the true mastermind here is Irep, he should reserve his anger for him, not for the kid he strung along.

"... He told me it would make him proud."

The question leaves his mouth before his mind can process it.

"Would that be enough? To justify all of this?"

Something has snapped, an echo of the ignored child who wished so badly his parents would pay more attention and was called selfish for it, who lashed out and wanted more, more, and more to fill a bottomless hole in his heart, felt vindicated when the truth was made evident: that love and attention is not a damn privilege, it's the right of any child.

"It wouldn't, and it wouldn't last for long. You know this, we both know this."

Dev is shaking. Timmy clams his mouth shut. He's shaking and his grip on the iron key is tight.

"There's no way they'll forgive me."

And he has to laugh at that, a short burst cut off by the pain of the chains moving and reaching new skin.

"That's the worst part- they always do. And before you even realise you're in the wrong."

It’s time for Lost and Founders day and I’ve heard this is a potential totally rough one so uh I’m very nervous. Ohhh we have a 22 minute episode yeah it’s going to be big.

Oh Mr. Guzman so excited about his hat. Wait where did it go? How did Hazel snatch it off of his hat? I’m impressed by both her skill and uh bravery lolz.

I love how unamused Mr. Guzman is by Hazels antics but also just takes his hat back and doesn’t say anything else.

I feel like a festival celebrating billionaires is uh capitalistic hell lolz. Ohhh Devs not wearing the sunglasses still aww!!! He’s still being kind of snotty but I don’t expect that to change overnight and given that he feels this is a super big deal and something his dad appreciates I get why he’s acting like this.

Are those just Apple Watches lolz? Or wait maybe closer to a magic bands functionality since they don’t tell time lolz. I love Devs smile as he just deadpans no. It’s just. I like seeing the tiny child smiling okay?

Wait let Cosmo go he’s onto something I just know it I don’t trust Dale or any billionaire as far as I can throw them (I don’t count Dev he’s a literal child it’s different).

Okay I died when Hazel proudly declared she and Dev are friends and trusts the watches because they’re friends like. Gosh it’s so cute. But oh poor Dev if something IS going on? She’s going to blame Dev who likely doesn’t know anything as a literal child. Dev is so like excited for his dad and thinks he’s amazing. He’s the worst but Dev being excited for his dad is precious.

Uhhh okay so I’m not an electrician or anything but I doubt electrocuting users is a great thing lolz. Oh Hazel you’re so cute though. I love how excited she is about the hat.

Oh oh Dev he’s so nervous talking to his dad can I hug him? Please? He needs a hug I can feel it.

Aww Dev is trying so hard to find something to do with his dad. I kind of want to cry the poor thing. He’s nervous around his dad but clearly also wants some sort of physical comfort for him he literally tried to ask if he could just. Hold his dad’s hand? I could cry right now.

DALE HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THIS CHILD HES WILLING TO EAT A LIZARD FOR YOU!!!! A lizard!!!!

Oh Devs so sad when he realized his dad wasn’t even listening oh no my heart.

Dev goes from so hopeful to crushed when his dad rejects anything else for him oh. He’s trying so hard

Primary function? What the actual fuck Dale?? HES YOUR SON!!! He wants to do stuff with you!!! For you!!! He loves you so much WHY CANT YOU LOVE HIM IN RETURN?!??!!

Each Dimmadone adds a statue?? That’s going to get crowded fast.

Oh no Dev is so hopeful. Wait Dev mentions it was his birthday to the day but Dale said 9 years ago. Dev is only 9 i thought he was 10 my bad. Oh no. I know what Dev is thinking and I have a bad feeling it’s not. Oh but Dev looks so hopeful and excited oh.

Just. This precious child.

I’m so scared he’s about to get his heart crushed he thinks it’s a father and son statue. I have a bad bad feeling about this. Dale is the worst, I doubt he would include Dev but maybe hopefully I’m wrong?

Aww Hazel is so excited about this hat lolz. It’s so adorable.

Wow uh I’m impressed people are respecting the drones lolz. Like they’re standing and waiting patiently for one to scan them. Most unrealistic part of the episode if I’m being honest. Maybe the entire series.

Wait you didn’t set up your booth before it started??? Really???

Hazel. You’re so precious I love your excitement over a hat. It’s such a kid thing to do. Oh Cosmo and Wanda are talking to the Wells. I hope this goes well.

Oh yep this went off the rails immediately. I love Wanda’s increasing panic as Cosmo makes it worse like COSMO!!! Think before you speak? Human males don’t give birth and don’t live thousands of years!! You’d think with how like accepting people seem to be now in Demadelphia they’d just roll with Cosmo and Wanda are both trans to avoid this? You’d think.

Or was this a Nick thing where having trans characters was “too much” or something stupid like that? How they could pull that when they have canonical mpreg I’ll never know.

Wait do the Wells just think they’re trans and are too awkward to admit it? I’m trying to get a read on the look they shared lolz.

Well it’s sweet they’re still talking to Cosmo and Wanda and are curious about their son. Oh well at least Wanda is fumbling it just as hard lolz. I love how confused the Wells are.

Smooth Wanda. Smooth. That won’t raise any suspicion at all. She didn’t even try to recover and just ran off lolz. Curious that this is the first time we’ve seen Poof mentioned so far.

Oh look past wishes are here! Hey uh drones admitting it’s poorly constructed won’t get you many people interested. Cosmo and Wanda disguised there Wanda as lollipops I love it.

Oh Cosmo. STOP BLATANTLY USING MAGIC IN PUBLIC!! Him getting crushed by a hat filled with ten galleons of something is kind of funny though.

Aww I love how much Hazel wants to show that this is her home now. Some great growth for Hazel. Okay but I do feel Cosmo on not hearing words correctly like. I feel that.

Hazel you’re so excited but calm down kiddo it’s rude to interrupt!!! Really? Admitting what the focus groups think? I mean he’s a billionaire so people will probably still buy his stuff and justify it somehow.

I love how Hazel is sitting on Cosmos shoulders and getting so excited. She’s so excited lolz. Also love how little her dad is worried about it. Great dad right there. Only three questions? Really?

Lolz oh Cosmo you sweet summer child. Misunderstanding things said verbally you understand me.

Cosmo and Wanda why are you surprised the statue is talking? YOU GRANTED THE WISH?? Wait why is one of only three founders have a Toga? I’m confused? How are their only three founders but one seemingly so much older than the other two? How often and when do new statues get added? Is Doug Dimmadone dead and that’s why a new one is being added?

Oh Dev. Oh Dev you sweet naive child. Your dad doesn’t want to help kids he wants money. Oh sweetie. I need to hug him immediately and punch Dale.

Oh Dev. Oh Dev you’re so sweet. He just wants his dad’s love and his dad does not love him at all. Ohh it’s Hazel it’s Hazel. I know she’s the anomaly. But how does she not want anything she wants the hat???

Oh Hazel you’re so cute you want to help other kids have a great day I love that. Lolz are the drones sad they can’t do their jobs? Why do I feel a little bad for them? Okay between the watches and the cut the line pass that says fast pass on it I can’t help but feel the show is making digs at Disneyland lolz. The drone thinks it’s insane. I didn’t think drones could feel like that.

Oh Dale you’re so horrible. Accurate billionaire. But still feel so bad for Dev. Dev trying to keep up with his dad. Aww Dev you’re so cute and so exciting oh no. It’s. It’s boots. His. Boots are his. Bundle of joy he got on the day of Devs birth….THAT COMMENT BEFORE WAS A JOKE I DIDNT WANT DALE TO NOT EVEN CARE ABOUT DEVS BIRTH IT WAS A JOKE.

HOW COULD YOU DENY THIS PRECIOUS CHILD BEING ON THE STATUE WITH YOU??? LOOK AT HIMMMMM.

His face. When he thinks his dad is talking about him. He’s been denied love and affection and he thinks he’s finally getting it and he doesn’t.

Oh gosh. Oh he admitted the boots are what matters most to him. Also Wanda and Hazel looking like concerned about this. Yes give me people seeing what Dev is going though damn it. Aww Cosmo crying for Dev even though he doesn’t realize I think they’re related. Oh wait he’s crying over Poof my bad. Would have loved to see that concern for Dev and NO DEV NOOOOO DONT CRY!!! Let me hug you child!!!!!

You can pinpoint the exact second my heart shatters with Devs.

Incase anyone is wondering how I feel about Dale right about now.

That image sums it up pretty nicely. Only Hazel even noticed he left oh no.

Hazel you are such a good friend going to check in Dev. Oh you sweet child you’re such a good friend. Oh you’re waiting for the trivia winner to be announced and oh no she forgot about poor Dev. SOMEONE CHECK ON THE SMALL CHILD PLEASE HE LOOKS SO SAD.

Oh Dev, you’re being so sarcastic I love that for you lolz. Aww Dev is trying to protect Hazel you’re so sweet and such a good friend. Dev oh you naive child. Oh poor baby.

Aww Dev you’re hurting so much but you’re still trying to protect Hazel oh sweet child. Oh Dev he’s so worried about Hazel but wants to talk but can’t but honey. Just tell Hazel what’s going on she’ll listen to you she trusts you. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no this is going bad oh no. He’s panicking and Hazel thinks he’s being mean to her again but he’s just scared for her and doesn’t know how to communicate this stuff. Oh no. Oh Dev you’re such a good friend but Hazel is going to be furious with you.

A slight animation error I noticed. When Dev and Hazel talk he doesn’t have the glasses, then they appear on his face when he steals the hat then they’re immediately gone when he’s running.

I thought maybe the glasses were meant to show he’s masking from Hazel again but they vanish again so quickly.

I just noticed Dev also snatched the watch which smart remove both elements your dad was tracking her with.

Dev you’re so proud of yourself for tricking your asshole dad. Oh wait the founders statues were already alive? Wait then what did Cosmo and Wanda poof up I have questions.

Wow uh. Yep Dale is as evil as I thought. Wow uh. Wow. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. False imprisonment and harming people? Wow. And people will buy from them still?

Cosmo is right again and no one will believe him. Hazel asking the real questions. Lolz 😂 wait why isn’t this historian questioning the wish part? Why is he cool with Magic? Hazel priorities. Oh someone finally believes Cosmo. Finally. Not even Cosmo believes it lolz.

I love Hazel swinging her legs trying to walk in the bush with Cosmo and Wanda but her legs are too short to reach the ground. Why is she so cute and precious?

Hazel sneak faster Cosmo isn’t that good. Wow uh blatantly showing what the evil plan is lolz. Oh Hazel oh Hazel you are so right Cosmo would do that. He really would. Aww Cosmo is having fun dancing lolz.

Oh oh no. Oh no. Hazel please listen to Dev. He didn’t know he didn’t know he wanted to change it! He was trying to help you!!! Oh Dev he sounds so sad when he mentions he was helping her. He tried to help he tried. HES A CHILD WITH NO FAIRYGODPARENT WHO REALLY NEEDS ONE HE DID HIS BEST HAZEL! For once Hazel is kind of wrong not even giving him a chance to explain she just refuses to listen and stormed off on I’m crying oh Dev.

Oh. Oh the drones know what Dev needs and it’s the one thing they can’t give him. Oh this hurts. SOMEONE PLEASE HUG THE CHILD. Oh he has a photo of him with Hazel my heart. Oh my heart. The thing he’s most sad about seems to be Hazel since he mentions her first and oh she was his first real friend and he thinks he’s lost her.

DEV FINALLY GETTING A FAIRY FINALLY!!! IVE SEEN THIS SCENE SO MANY TIMES I FINALLY GOT TO SEE IT!!! Oh Dev he honestly should have long had a fairy with what he goes through like why did it take so long for him to get one? Was it because he’s been in denial for awhile about his dad not loving him and when the reality finally hits it breaks him? I could see that I suppose? Maybe? BUT I NEED HAZEL AND DEV TO MAKE UP PLEASE DEV NEEDS A FRIEND NOW MORE THEN EVER HE HAS NO ONE WHO LOVES HIM HE NEEDS SOMEONE DAMN IT.

Oh Dev failed to communicate properly and Hazel just assumed the worst of Dev which is so sad. They’re just kids so I understand how things went wrong but it hurts so much seeing Dev hurting so much.

I’m going to be in agony until they make up again (please let them make up and be friends PLEASE).

Dale's slaughter

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SLAUGHTER I'M THE MAN BEHIND, DEV-
