#i’d like to thank that one blog with the angst art about missing timmy

[devilsrecreation]

You know what would have made FOP’s “It’s a Wishful Life” NOT terrible?

Instead of Timmy wishing he was never born, he wishes he lived in Fairy World since he CLEARLY isn’t appreciated in Dimmsdale.

The wish is made so that it seems Timmy has ran away and went scorched earth with his community rather than not existing at all. That way, both Timmy and the viewers can see everyone feeling suuuuper guilty when they learn that Timmy mysteriously disappeared cuz it dawns on them that they never appreciated him

Imagine Timmy writes the most honest, guilt-tripping note in the middle of his room about how unappreciated he felt and how sick he is of being treated poorly so he says he’s running away for good “not that you guys would care! Bye bye, Dimmsdale!”

Instead of everyone’s lives being better without Timmy’s existence (which we all know is a HORRIBLE message to kids), everyone feels a sense that something is missing and how shitty they acted to someone who thought about someone other than himself

AJ realizes how Timmy bought the “obsolete” computer that apparently doesn’t work with his blood, sweat, and tears and how it’s actually super considerate of him. Maybe he finds another use for the computer (like a new invention or smth) that wouldn’t have been possible had Timmy not been there

Mr. Bickles (that one artsy teacher with a new dream every episode) learning how the colors of the background work better than the original colors he had in mind. Maybe his new ballet even got great reviews and the colors Timmy chose just added to them

It takes a while for his parents to realize how impressive Timmy made their lawn look, especially regarding the fact that he’s 10

Of course there are the other characters that are negatively affected by Timmy’s “disappearance”:

Maybe Chester would be really lonely without his best friend there and his other friends would reminisce how nice Timmy was to them when no one else was

Trixie gets her stuck-up head out of her butt for once and comments how as annoying as he is, he’s always been nice to her

Even the villains like Crocker and Francis feel like there’s something missing since Timmy was their favorite victim. Ig bullying others isn’t the same now that he’s missing

While the other fairies treat Timmy better than the other characters, there IS a reason why it’s called “Fairy World” and not “Fairy and Timmy World” and living there isn’t exactly human-friendly ig. So after some thinking and seeing how everyone he knows regrets their actions, Timmy decides to go back. Cue him getting a huge overdue apology from everyone

Instead of the moral being “Don't do nice things to get appreciated. You should do them because they're the right thing to do”, it’s “don’t take anything or anyone for granted because you never know how good it is until it’s gone”. And for once, Timmy isn’t learning the lesson, it’s everyone else because, and this is the reason WHY he has fairies in the first place

TIMMY IS THE VICTIM HERE.
