#cosmo and wanda definitely are an aunt and uncle to hazel

I love ALL these points!

Fairy World has always tried to keep their relation with human children as neutral as possible. YES if you get attached to your godkid then that's okay, it means you can do a better job of making them happy and moving onto the next kid.

As you said Cosmo and Wanda were the fairly odd couple who WANTED kids more than any fairy their age and when they met Timmy a bond was formed. The Zappy's showed that already a few months or weeks in Timmy considered Cosmo and Wanda his best friends, probably like an aunt and uncle at this point, then the main show hits, and no longer are they just friends, just substitute parents, just protectors, they ARE Timmy Turner's parents!

Poof/Peri is born because of the love Timmy has for Cosmo and Wanda and wants them to finally have the baby they've dreamed of for thousands of years, their little family is complete and they accept that that is what they are and always will be.

Losing Timmy broke Cosmo, Wanda, and Peri. Peri delved into being a great Fairy Godparent like his parents but only listened to Jorgen and what others taught him, not talking to his parents on how to handle Dev, which he should have and if/when we get a season 2 I really HOPE Peri takes advice from Cosmo and Wanda, even if he can't get back to Dev at least he'll know what he needs to do.

Hope this made sense, thank you for reading my rambles.

Not to overanalyze stuff but...

I don't know if the authors did this intentionally, but I find the "shift" on what is good godparenting in Fairy World super interesting.

Like Cookie is said to be a very good godparent according to Jorgen. Sure, she gets the "job" done, but she's seen as not listening to Hazel. She thinks she knows best, since Hazel is "just a kid". She grants wishes based on what most children could want (statistics I guessed she studied). She's a godparent helping out children, and doesn't see her "targets", her "clients", in their individuality.

Same goes for Peri in a way. He grants wishes, but doesn't seem to actually make an effort to grow closer to Dev, to "earn his trust". Godchild wants some space? Sure, that's his wish! He just applies the rules, applies what he's been told. Dev is a godchild he *has to* help. He doesn't see, or try to understand, what makes Dev different from another "miserable" kid.

And like, as a social worker, the whole "doing what we're told" vs. "listening to the person and design a plan that fit them (despite what the Rules™ say) is a 'conflict' we're often faced with. And the ones above us'd rather we go with the first option so the "OneS wHo AbuSE tHE sYsTEm" (🙄) don't "hAVe it EAsY" (🙄🙄🙄).

All that to say, I wonder if Timmy's mayhem is the reason why "follow the rules and don't make YOUR godchild special" is the new guideline in Fairy World. A new protocole to ensure no godchild "abuses the system" by wishing for things they shouldn't when their godparent is "too friendly" with them to tell them no...
