All the talk about Love Between Fairy and Devil and its themes of destiny and love and how love can overpower fate reminds me of one of my FAVE quotes from the anime Princess Tutu (an amazing series for anyone who loves meta commentary on fate, love, free will, and fairytales).

May those who accept their fate find happiness. May those who defy it, glory. ❤️

Welcome to Mythiru Days! Where we are all about Mythiru!

We will be posting and hosting Mythiru Days, formerly known as Mythiru Week. This year, 2023, we are switching to a 3 day weekend rather than an entire week, as holidays can be a busy time for everyone, and December is full of them. (Not to mention those in school with finals.) This will hopefully make it easier for people to participate!

Mythiru Days this year will take place on December 1-3, Friday - Sunday. Stay tuned for the theme and prompts!

“May those who accept fate find happiness, and may those who defy fate find glory”

Both hellebores (especially species commonly referred to as Christmas roses) and snowdrops are associated with hope and new beginnings as they tend to bloom early in spring. This bit of symbolism ties nicely to Mytho and Rue, who are able to escape their fate within Drosselmeyer’s story, and at the end of the show are seen dancing freely together as prince and princess, enjoying their new lives together. 💕

Speaking of something new, as some of you know, moonie_fan_collections on Instagram is working to convert some of my Sailor Moon designs into enamel pins. She’s also expressed a potential interest in the Princess Tutu designs as well! This is still very tentative and there is currently no timeline in place, but if you are interested please give her a follow on Instagram and message her to let her know you are interested!

Princess tutu sets us up with a quasi love triangle of duck having two potential love interest boys. HOWEVER. True believers understand that fakir is in fact the center of the duck/fakir/mytho love triangle. If season 2 was based mytho would’ve absolutely played for his affections to either steal his heart or turn him against Duck but alas we live in a biphobic world

I'm watching the second half of Princess Tutu and this keeps feeling more and more accurate, let them go old man😂 Also his hat is stupidly weird and took me a while to figure out, I despise him <3

"Anyone can write their own ending of their story. But one cannot erase ink from a page once it is dried. They can only keep writing forward, whether they like what they've already written or not."

-:- -:- -:- -:- -:-

So yeah it's really hard to find some good Mytho-centric angst in this fandom. Seriously it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

So I said "fuck it, I'll do it myself" and created this monstrosity.

I always wondered how (post-canon) Mytho would deal with the fact that he was essentially corrupted and did some pretty bad things throughout the second half of the series. After all, he was supposed to be a hero, wasn't he?

But while the other three characters of the main cast had a written story role that they went against for the greater good, Mytho had gone against his role as a heroic fairytale prince in one of the worse ways possible.

He knows it wasn't his fault that he tried to sacrifice the hearts of poor innocent girls. He was under the effects of raven's blood.

But it wasn't the Raven who did those things. It wasn't the main antagonist of the story who committed those crimes.

It was him.

And now he has to live with that fact, because that's how the finalized story of The Prince and the Raven was written.

TL;DR: someone please give this poor boy a hug.

finally delivering on the princess tutu headshots i promised... love these dysfunctional teens 🩰💖💕

LOTS of notes about headcanons/design choices under the cut! like. a lot. dont say i didnt warn you

starting with my specialest guy fakir:

i had a suuuper clear vision for fakir, and i couldnt be happier with how he turned out, he looks exactly how i imagine him! trying to translate his Bird-Shaped Hair into my style gave me SERIOUS homestuck flashbacks. my affinity for knights with Problems knows no bounds...

adding the hyperpigmentation around his eyes and his acne scars is what really solidified this for me-- i put those in and was like oh!!! there you are!!! my boy!!! and you can tell because i gave him acne scars + thick eyebrows that he IS my boy... there are very clear trends among my headcanons for my faves lol. big noses, thick eyebrows, skin imperfections, heavy eyebags, long dark hair... and fakir truly has it all 😤 he is so Ideal Character Design to me

i think fakir is actually pretty self-conscious about his appearance tho! we see characters like pike and lilie say hes handsome to ahiru, but i dont know how often he actually hears that? and im sure its hard not to compare himself to mytho, who is straight out of a fairy tale; being a regular teenager dealing with regular teen body stuff is hard enough without your roommate being a magically beautiful eternally youthful storybook hero. i think he probably internalises more that people see him as scary and angry, and that the girls who do have crushes on him always frame it in contrast to mytho, who is Good and Kind and Handsome, implying (or sometimes outright stating!) that fakir is Bad and Mean and... Well...

fakir is very sensitive but quiet about it, so i think its a very private point of self-consciousness. i think he puts a lot of semi-secret effort into his appearance; canonically he has a lot of very funny and clearly customised clothing, and he chooses to keep his hair long and in a very particular style (i have a whole breakdown in my mind of how he achieves that style and it involves a surprising amount of pins and an unsurprising fuckton of teasing. i think his hair is a little fried from heat damage!), and i think that probably extends to other things, too, like manicuring his eyebrows and doing a lot of very Teenage Skincare that doesnt actually help his acne much lol. i think he probably has a lot of self-injurious habits and BFRBs like skin picking and chewing, mostly at his acne and around his nails (both of which he hates, because he knows he shouldnt but does it anyway). i think if he does it enough that theres noticeable evidence it feels, like, world-ending for him, ESPECIALLY if anyone asks what happened lol. do not perceive him except in the very specific ways and contexts he approves of THANKS

on to the narratives favorite princess, mytho:

again, i had a pretty clear idea of the vibe i wanted mytho to have going into this-- i want him to have, like, extreme prince charming vibes, very Classically Handsome without necessarily being 'conventional.' i thought a lot about 'the happy prince' story while i was working on this, and really wanted him to look like a cross between how the prince statue looks in my head and a porcelain doll. and also a cross between jonny brown and brigitte bardot? lots of very direct influences for him lol. so! lots of gold tones, gemmy eye color, cute little tooth gap, quivering wide-eyed thousand-yard-stare doe eyes and big ol dolly anime lashes, which were the very last thing i added because i was NERVOUS about pulling those off lol. they turned out cute tho! ive only done a handful of pieces for this series and i can already tell princess tutu is gonna make me up my lash drawing game considerably, these kids all look like they blink and cause a hurricane from the gale force wind of their falsies

also wait i lied the very last thing i did was add his freckles/beauty marks because he needed that little extra oomph and those were It. i think he probably has some on his hands/wrists too 💕

i was a little unsure if my idea for his hair would translate with this flat-color approach but im pretty happy with it! its supposed to be afrotextured hair (somewhere between 3b and 4c i think? wide range of potential i knowww but im still kind of hammering out my headcanons okay, this is exploratory lol) thats been rolled and finger-styled into his little feather shapes. i think loose, chunky twists would be another fun way to interpret his hair and twists are one of my fave styles to draw do i might draw him like that at some point too...

i guess fakir is the one who styles his hair for him before mytho gets his heart back? i imagine fakir is pretty meticulous about maintaining mythos health and appearance, even at the worst stages of their relationship. i think itd be hard for fakir to frame the way he treats mytho as For Mythos Sake if he wasnt doing some level of actually beneficial care for him, so being really fastidious about things like mythos diet and sleep hygiene and hair care and such gives fakir an outlet for his 'you just have to do what i tell you' thing that helps him convince himself it really is helping, no really, hes doing this for mythos benefit and he just has to be strict with him because mytho doesnt UNDERSTAND he needs PROTECTING and fakir is the ONLY ONE who can do it so mytho HAS to let him because if he doesnt then why does fakir even EXIST, if he cant manage this then what is he good for, and--

yknow. the usual complexes. and their relationship is so complex!!! but also so simple, but like. in a good way. fakirs behavior is complicated but his motivation regarding mytho is SO straightforward which makes that downward spiral into harm really easy to map out... i wont go much into that in this post since this is about visual/appearance-related headcanons but just. augh. i love this show and i love these characters!!! and i hope its apparent in my work that i do love them so <3

im hoping to do a set of these for the girls next!!! i have some other stuff to finish first but hopefully... Soon... Some Birds...
