ROUND 1B, MATCH 3 OUT OF 8!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Fairy Godmother:

It's WHITNEY HOUSTON, she's kind but firm in helping Cinderella not just go to the ball but also escape her abusive family and she sings like an angel, what's NOT to like? She literally glows!

Whitney Houston. That's my propaganda.

WELCOME TO THE BEST FAIRY GODPARENT POLL!

Thank you for waiting patiently for the beginning of this tournament! Welcome to the next poll tournament I'll be hosting on this blog, the Best Fairy Godparent poll!

Criteria for characters to be accepted:

A character from a fairytale that is a fairy godparent or falls into that role (ex. the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella, the Good Fairies from Sleeping Beauty, the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio, etc.)

A character from a fairytale adaptation who is adapted from a fairy godparent character, even if it is a non-magical character in a non-magical adaptation (ex. Leonardo Da Vinci from Ever After, Rhonda from A Cinderella Story, etc.)

A character from a fairytale adaptation that is broadly a fairy godparent, even if they aren't specifically based on a single fairy godparent (ex. the Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2, Scary Godmother from Scary Godmother, etc.)

A character from a non-fairytale media that is not based on a fairytale but is a fairy godparent (ex. Cosmo & Wanda from Fairly Oddparents, etc.)

Rules for Submission:

Though fairy godmothers are more common than other kinds of fairy godparents, any gendered fairy godparent will be accepted for the tournament! I will try my best to always refer to this as a fairy godparent poll, but if I accidentally call it a fairy godmother poll ever just take it as a mistake and fill it in as fairy godparent!

No unofficial characters (fan characters, OCs, tumblr posts, etc)

No real people. I think this goes without saying, but just in case.

Submit as many characters as you want, but do not submit the same character multiple times. If I realize you've done this, I will ban the character from the tournament.

I have the right to reject any character if they make me uncomfortable or I think it's from problematic media.

The goal is a 32- or 64-bracket, single-elimination. I don't really have enough time or energy to do a 128-bracket, and besides, I don't think we will get enough submissions for a 128-bracket for this particular tourney anyway.

There might be some gray area between a character in a fairytale adaptation that is a fairy godmother vs. someone who falls into the role of the animal companions (Gustave from Ever After or Carter from A Cinderella Story would fall into animal companions adaptation to me, for example). In cases when a character is submitted that I think are animal companion adaptations instead of fairy godparent adaptations, I'll try to be clear and explain why I judged it the way that I did.

Be nice and try to have fun! :)

Blue Fairy:

Rumpelstiltskin:

In this version, he kills Cinderella's actual fairy godmother to steal her wand and ends up striking a deal with Cinderella and transforming her appearance so she can go to the ball.

I just want to state that in Once Upon a Time, Rumple killed Cinderella's FG and took her place.

ROUND 1B, MATCH 2 OUT OF 8!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Flora, Fauna, Merryweather:

Iconic.

Maleficent:

I think it could count? Aurora runs into Maleficent enough times as a child she believes Maleficent must be her fairy godmother, which in a way came true as her maternal love was what broke the sleeping spell in that version.

ROUND 1A, MATCH 7 OUT OF 8!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Brystal:

In TLOS Fairy Godmother is a title for the leader of what’s essentially the fairy tale equivalent of United Nations, which honestly leads to some interesting commentary on what it means to be a leader or a good person, and how it’s not necessary possible to make everyone happy, but it is shown that Brystal absolutely did her best until the end. In the main series it’s shown that she did her best as a single mother and always tried to do what was best for her sons, even though it sometimes meant doing things they perceived as hurt at the time. The books don’t fully commend her for every action she took with her family, she’s even willing to admit she knew there were protective actions that had selfish intentions, which is pretty refreshing for a parental character, especially in kids books! She has a genuinely sweet relationship with her grandkids and dies in the most badass way literally getting out of bed after being sick for months so she could slay a dragon. She still makes a point to comfort her grandkids before she returns to magic, and even after she passes her presence is felt in the books. The prequels, meanwhile, are really interesting because they show what she was like as a teenager, long before she was some revered figurehead. The first book treats magic as an allegory for being queer and how religious/familial trauma can squander the joy of being yourself, but she’s able to build a new group of people who support each other and slowly grow into the fairy godmother so many people picture. These books are just so good raugh

Fab G:

In the beginning of the movie, Ella saves a little caterpillar. Throughout the movie the caterpillar metamorphizes into a monarch butterfly, and since she saved him, he becomes Ella's Fabulous Godmother. I like that there's actually a reason for Ella getting a godparent. Plus the Fabulous Godmother *is* incredibly fabulous. His outfit is immaculate from his shimmery coat to his glittery heels, and the song that he sings with Ella and the mice is so upbeat and fun. Plus, Billie Porter (who plays the Fabulous Godmother) has an amazing voice.

It’s a funny quirky story about how magic and wonder shouldn’t be completely absent from modern life. And it doesn’t have to be if you don’t want it to be

I watched the movie once when it came out but she was a good positive character that always gave it what she had

Apparently he's Lady Termaine's godfather who appears in a stage play, which is an alternate version of Cinderella III? which is wild honestly
