Fifi and the Flowertots pairings aka "ships" I like

Thought I might finally do this? There's other cartoons & shows I was gonna do this for too. Haven't really felt like posting on the internet these past few weeks after a friend of mine died, but i've been thinking about Stingo again... I've only mentioned Stingo on here a couple of times before (never posted stuff of my OC yet), I've been mostly talking about it on my little Fifi forum & Fifi discord...(Stingo's one of my cartoon crushes...) I think the only Fifi episode I can't find online is Poppy's ice cream show, and then there's only 3 episodes after that that I either watched before or skipped through and maybe others I skipped through? so I've seen almost all of them now so it's probably about time I did this.

Primrose x Slugsy Me or my OC Rose x Stingo lol Fifi x Stingo lol kinda (used to like it more) Wasn't sure whether Stingo would go with Fifi, Violet or Poppy lol Fifi x Bumble is ok Fifi x Violet Violet x Primrose is ok Hmm Stingo x Slugsy is ok sometimes

I watched this show as a kid and-

This MF gives me Waluigi vibes.

The nose, the need to cheat, his voice.

And now I like Waluigi.

i miss when i genuinely loved fifi and the flowertots. not back when i was like 5, i mean last year when i genuinely loved fifi and the flowertots. i even made this human fifi

i headcanoned her as aroace, bumble as an incel who won't accept fifi saying 'no', violet and primrose gave me the same vibes as pearl and marina from splatoon (ie a posh, somewhat self-centred lesbian and a shy lesbian) and stingo and slugsy definitely had the same villain-henchman relationship you see all the time. i mean, yeah, slugsy canonically has a crush on primrose, but screw the canon/slugsy can be polyamorous.

i didn't really have any headcanons for the other characters because they didn't show up enough lol.

Kisekae Insights #21: Fifi and Roary addendum

Hey everyone. In case you haven’t read already, I have a full-time job now, so I don’t know if I’ll be as prolific in making content than in the past. However, I am still determined to cover Gokaiger, Decade and Soulbound eventually, so I aim to make two instalments of Kisekae Insights per month. When we get to those instalments, they will most likely be split up into multiple parts, so I might be releasing more than two instalments in a month. I started this series as a result of the coronavirus lockdown – even with further lockdowns resulting in me having to work from home, I don’t know if I can be as prolific as I have been last year, given that I need to be in work mode for five days a week and that I still have my personal project to finish off. Nevertheless, I will continue to do my best and I hope you will continue to support me as always.

The main purpose of this instalment is to set the record straight on voice actors for Fifi and the Flowertots and Roary the Racing Car like I did with Angelina Ballerina a few instalments ago. Unlike Angelina Ballerina, however, this list was easy to determine because the cast is (largely) the same in both the UK and US versions. My original plan for this was to update the original instalment with this new information, but then I decided that it would be better to release it as a filler instalment.

Fifi and the Flowertots voice actors:

Jane Horrocks – Fifi Forget-me-not, Primrose

Maria Darling – Violet, Pip Gooseberry, Poppy (UK)/Poppady (US), Webby

Marc Silk – Bumble (UK)/Fuzzbuzz (US), Slugsy

Tim Whitnall – Stingo, Aunt Tulip, Hornetto, Grubby, Flutterby

Nick Wilson – Diggly

Joanna Ruiz – Buttercup

Janet James – Daisy

Nick Wilson is better known as a producer, scriptwriter and a consultant for children’s media according to his LinkedIn account.

Roary the Racing Car voice actors:

Peter Kay (UK)/Kerry Shale (US) – Big Chris, Tin Top, Big Christine

Maria Darling – Roary, Cici (UK)/Zizzy (US), Marsha, Mama Mia, Breeze

Marc Silk – Maxi, Hellie, Drifter (UK)/Dragga (US), Flash (UK)/Furz (US), Nick, Dinkie

Tim Whitnall – Mr Carburettor, Farmer Green

Dominic Frisby – Rusty, FB (UK)/Trucksy (US), Plugger (UK)/Lugga (US), James, Loada, PC Pete, Molecom

Craig Lowndes – Conrod

Sir Stirling Moss (UK)/Sam Hornish Jr. (US) – Narrator

Big Chris was absent in the Roary tribute episodes in Gokaiger and Decade and as such, Kerry Shale was credited as Tin Top’s voice. The reason is because Peter Kay had cancelled his tour and all his other work in November 2017 due to “unforeseen family circumstances”. I thought it was going to be permanent, but given how he seemingly started to come back to the limelight a few months after, I ended up giving him a cameo in the final episode of Gokaiger before giving him a full appearance in the Roary tribute episode in Soulbound Series 3 (October 2019).

Fifi and Roary are somewhat obscure series; the fact that they used to have websites was enough for them not to fall into even deeper obscurity. A decade ago, not very many episodes were uploaded onto YouTube, but now, the two shows have official channels and episodes keep being reuploaded daily with no indication of episode numbers. Trying to attain an accurate episode list has been a nightmare, though it can be said that at least 104 episodes were made for both series between 2005 and 2008 (assuming each series took about a year to produce).

In regards to Fifi, I find it interesting that it got a third series, but it was only 13 episodes long. Buttercup, Daisy and Flutterby were new characters in the series and I think they deserved more screentime, but hey, the fact that I’ve done this project means that I’ve fulfilled that wish already (hypothetically speaking).

So what happened to the production company, Chapman Entertainment? After creating Little Charley Bear and Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, Chapman was placed into administration in November 2012 and acquired by DreamWorks Animation in September 2013. Founder Keith Chapman, who created Bob the Builder in 1998, would go on to create PAW Patrol and Mighty Express. At this point, Fifi and Roary are obscure enough that I could say I own the rights to both series and nobody would care. In fact, I like to pretend that I do, like this project isn’t full of copyright infringements already.

At this point, both the official websites for Fifi and Roary have been discontinued and are now essentially impossible to access via archives due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash. Low-quality wiki information seems to be all that remains now, but hilariously, the wiki for Fifi and the Flowertots seems to be no more.

I’m always appreciative of the few fans who like my posts or even reach out to me on things relating to obscure shows or content, whether it be Fifi and the Flowertots, Sea Princesses or anything else. As I have stated before, content for these shows is hard to come by and as such, people like me have had to step up and be the change we want to see in the world. For example, if I didn’t take the plunge last year during lockdown, I wouldn’t have been able to translate and review the Sea Princesses book series.

Anyway, that’s it for now. I’ll move onto something new in the next instalment.

An old Fifi and the Flowertots fanfic I wrote in 2006 when I was a teenager- a Valentines Day one about Fifi x Stingo lol (my little bro used to watch it & I thought it was cute lol). It might be a bit out of character.

I simpsonised myself again back in 2011- it would look a bit different if I did it now but simpsonsmovie.com is gone so I guess I can’t lol

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m trying to remember what OC’s & self inserts I have now.

Camp Lazlo OC Emma (renamed from Claire): 2007-2008 though I’ve tried to draw her & write for her since then (maybe 2014-2016 & 2020-2021), a shy cat who is Edward’s girlfriend. Became a self insert although she wasn’t at first.  There was a Camp Lazlo OC called Emma before her (2006-2007) & she was more tomboyish but I didn’t really know what animal she was meant to be. Apparently I tried to make another one in 2007- a mouse called Sophie who likes Clam & talks like him.

South Park OC Emma: Self insert I drew/designed/roleplayed as in 2007-2008, I think I drew her again (different) in 2010 & roleplayed as her again, redesigned her in 2015 (inc as an adult) & 2020

Fifi and the Flowertots OC Rose: I think I thought about making her before (maybe a few years ago?) but I only just drew her (in 2022). Self insert who loves Stingo.

Sailor Moon OC: Self insert I tried to draw around 2008-ish- I’m thinking of redesigning her and calling her Sailor Earth with some Earth related attacks. 

Simpsonised myself in early 2008 & again in 2011. I think friends might’ve drawn it for me in 2009-2011 aswell

Family Guy’d myself in 2011 & again in 2018

Ponified myself in 2015 & again in 2022

Puff’d myself in 2016 & again in 2017 (& 2022 but only the clothing changed)

Oh & Peanutized myself in 2015 aswell

I’ve also inserted myself in to Fur TV & EastEnders (wasn’t really an OC)- with drawings in 2008 & even tried to write about Fur TV around 2008 & again around 2013 or something. Also tried to insert myself in to Space Ghost (didn’t actually make an OC)- a friend drew it around 2011? And even tried to insert myself in to Dragonball (didn’t actually make an OC) around 2021 with a story I started. 

EDIT: I’ve edited this a couple of times.

When I was 16 I wrote a Fifi & the Flowertots story for my little brother- that was in early 2006, he’s now grownup! I wrote it out like a preschool book. Was thinking of sharing it on the internet? Not sure what sites to put it on lol (Actually I already put it on a forum I made for Fifi 2 years ago lol- noticed my Tumblr post from 2 years ago saying that I was typing old fanfics from 2006 up & thinking of putting them somewhere), here it is:

Fifi story Tea at Primrose's house Fifi Forgetmenot lives in forgetmenot cottage. She loves playing with her friends Bumble, Violet and Primrose. Today she is going to Flowertot market to buy some fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables are very healthy. She eats some every day. Do you? Good. On her way she met her friend Bumble. Bumble is a bee. “Hello Fifi” he said. “Where are you going?” “I'm going to Flowertot market to buy some fruit and vegetables” she said. “Do you want to come?” “Ok, Fifi” said Bumble. So they went to Flowertot market and bought some fruit and vegetables. On their way home from the market they met Violet and Primrose. “Hello Violet, hello Primrose” said Fifi. “Hello Fifi” they said. “Remember you're having tea with us, today, Fifi?” said Primrose. “Yes Primrose” said Fifi. “Come on Bumble, let's get these fruits and vegetables home!” “Coming, Fifi!” he said as they went back to Fifi's house. Over at Violet's and Primrose's house, they were getting ready to have tea with Fifi. They had to make the sandwiches and the tea, bake a cake and go to Poppy's market for some biscuits. “Right, Violet” said Primrose. “I'll go to Poppy's market for the biscuits, while you start baking the cake.” “Ok, Primrose” said Violet, who was quite shy. So Primrose went to flowertot market and Violet baked the cake. At the market, however, Primrose met Stingo. “Hello Primrose” he said slyly. “What are you doing?” “Hello Stingo” she replied. “I'm buying some biscuits.” “Ooh! Can I have some?” he said. “Certainly not, Stingo” she said. “They're for later when I'm having tea with Fifi.” “Doah!” said Stingo. But he had an idea. He was going to sneak in to Primrose's house like he does with Fifi and eat the food. He is a naughty wasp. He went back off to his house and called “Slugsy!” “Yes, Boss” said Slugsy, who was waiting for him. “We're going to go in to Primrose's house and take her biscuits!” said Stingo. “Oh no! We can't do that Boss!” said Slugsy. “Why not?” “Because- because we shouldn't take things that don't belong to us.” “Pah!” said Stingo, and flew off. Back at Fifi's house, she had prepared her fruit and vegetables, and eaten some with Bumble. “Right,” said Fifi. “I've got a spot of gardening to do, and then I could make a pie to take to Primrose's house.” “Ok, Fifi” said Bumble. “Do you want me to help?” “Yes. Thankyou Bumble.” “And I could give you a jar of my honey to take with you.” “Good idea! That's very kind of you, Bumble.” So Bumble went to get his honey. On his way, he met Slugsy. “Is anything wrong, Slugsy?” he asked. “Stingo wants to go into Primrose's house and take her food” said Slugsy. “Really?” said Bumble. “I'd better tell Fifi!” So Bumble went straight back to Fifi forgetting to get the honey. “Have you got the honey, Bumble?” asked Fifi. “No, but Slugsy said that Stingo's going to take Primrose's food!” “Oh no! I'd better warn her!” So Fifi and Bumble went off to Primrose's house. They knocked on the door. Violet answered it. “Hello Fifi” she said. “It's not tea time yet.” “I know” said Fifi. “But I came to warn Primrose that Stingo's going to eat her food!” Violet gasped. Stingo hadn't dared go into the house yet, because he knew Violet was in there. Violet had gone straight to Poppy's market with Fifi and Bumble to find Primrose, so Stingo saw his chance. He sneaked in and found the cake that Violet had just made and flew away with it. But before he could celebrate for long, Primrose, Fifi, Bumble, Violet and Slugsy were all there. “Stingo!” yelled Primrose. “Where's Violet's cake?!” “Er- Slugsy ate it” lied Stingo. “No I didn't!” “It's no good, Stingo” said Fifi. “We know it was you. And you're going to make Primrose another one.” “But-” “Do it!” said Primrose. So Stingo reluctantly flew away. Stingo is now making the cake. Fifi, Primrose, Violet and Bumble are sitting outside having their tea, biscuits and sandwiches. “Are you nearly finished making the cake, Stingo?” asked Fifi. “Pah!” said Stingo, and flicked some of the icing in the mixing bowl in his face by mistake. All the flowertots laughed. I think it's time to say goodbye. Wait a minute. It looks like Fifi's got something she wants to say. “Don't forget to come back soon! Bye!” 

(A/N I guess it never occurred to me that Fifi grows her own vegetables lol. And I guess I made Stingo stealing a cake such a big deal because it's for toddlers lol.)
