It's time to address the elephant in the room.

A lot of people have asked over the years; "You like Holli, but you don't like the movie she's from. What about Thumbelina? What do you think about her movie?"

And the truth is... while I definitely like Thumbelina better than Cool World... I'm not a big fan of that one either.

It's fine. I'm pretty neutral on 95% of it. But I also think it's an extremely difficult fairytale to make an hour and a half long movie out of, so what Don Bluth did manage to do with it, I think is pretty impressive.

HOWEVER... there is ONE THING in that movie that will forever have a place in my heart. It's a moment, and a song, that will make me cry within 30 seconds;

When Cornelius comes back and Lina realizes he's alive.

I can't NOT tear up at that, it's impossible, it can't be done. It also helps that I absolutely LOVE the song "Let Me Be Your Wings".

A lot of people compare that song to "A Whole New World" from Aladdin and it's not hard to see why; Boy takes sheltered girl away from her home to show her the big, amazing and slightly scary world outside, promising her adventure and love.

And flying of course. Flying is definitely a key ingredient in both.

However, I 100% prefer LMBYW to AWNW. Why? Well, for one I just simply like the music better, so there's some basic bias there. But I also personally think that LMBYW sounds like wedding vows. You could argue that AWNW could be wedding vows too, but there's something about LMBYW that sounds more romantic to me.

The lyrics sound like a vow to protect and love the other.

Let me be your wings

Let me lift you up high above

Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours

Anything that you desire, anything at all

Every day I'll take you higher

And I'll never let you fall

THIS is a promise of not just love and adventure, but also protection:

If you choose to love and trust me, I will never let you down and I'll do everything in my power to give you anything you want. AWNW is a promise of love and adventure, but not protection. Not in the same way at least.

This is not my attempt at convincing anyone to prefer one song over the other, I'm just explaining why I prefer this one and why the movie Thumbelina will forever have a place in my heart because of that song. Without it... I would probably have forgotten this movie years ago.

I also really do like the Danish translation of it.

"Let Me Be Your Wings"

New KimChay fic just dropped. I wasn't expecting to write it and there is no real update schedule, but I'm using it as a happy feels place and it's going to be adorable.

---

Summary: Dusk brings all the answers Kim has been seeking, but it also brings his ultimate downfall.

Because once the sun has set enough for Kim to notice, he can’t tear his eyes away from the mystery boy or the soft golden light that emanates from his whole body every time his wings and antennae do their little dance. No, Kim can’t bear to rip his gaze from the ethereal glow for a solitary moment.

Until the boy eventually lifts his head to look around and the meadow goes suddenly, awfully dark.

OR

Kim is a Moth faerie, Chay is a Firefly faerie... They fall in love and go on a bunch of adventures with their respective family members. That's it. That's the fic.

A Sneak Peek

This is a sneak peak to part 2 of my childhood films x ACOTAR characters series. I am actually deeply in love with how it turned out. And I spent 6 hours on it! I am restraining myself and biting a leather belt so I don’t post it right away. I am also in the middle of moving house halfway across the world so I am stocking up on drawings to post while I will be busy moving.

Can you guess what childhood film and acotar characters these are?

Just saw someone liking this post in my notifications and I want you to know that I stand by it. Gottfried beetle. Charro frog.

I LOVE that awful Don Bluth Thumbelina movie. I love that super annoying pointless French narrator bird. I love “Marry the Mole.” FIGHT ME.
