Oh dude. D u d e. I’d love to. The Barbie movies has always been my guilty pleasure, with a lot of emphasis on the “guilty” back when I was a kid bc I HATED barbie dolls, and honestly Barbie movie AUs are some of my favourite AUs ever.
The idea of a Pixie Hollow au really depends on the interpretation of the AA characters, bc ppl hc them differently, and since Phoenix is meant to be relatable to all the players it’d be tricky to pin him down. I do know from… some evidence in the games that he isn’t the fondest of animals. (But this is only game evidence, and he doesn’t hate them— just tolerates them.) And he does have artistic talent, having been a theatre major. So I think it’s likely he’d be a storyteller.
I’m not entirely sure about Miles, though. We already know for one that he’s not really good at creating anything complicated with his hands, so I’d say that being a tinker fairy is out of the question. In fact, a LOT of talents seem to really need a delicate hand, and Miles just… doesn’t have that.
There’s a lot of things he can be, and the most likely he’d be is probably a helper fairy for the Queen. More particularly, he’d be a great problem-solver. If not that, then I can actually see him somewhat being a dust fairy. Their work is organised and particular and incredibly important, but doesn’t involve creating or doing anything complicated.
If Miles were a dust fairy, I see him and Phoenix meeting often. Phoenix would be a pretty dramatic storyteller and would use pixie dust to make intricate scenes very often, and would be coming back for more frequently. (Even though he’s really not supposed to take more than he should.) If Miles is a helper fairy, he and Phoenix may meet during an event that the Queen attends, and end up attempting to meet often.
Okay, now moving on from Pixie Hollow, Miles would obviously be Annika and Franziska would be Brietta in Barbie and the Magic Pegasus. Considering that apparently a Pegasus doesn’t age, Franziska is, indeed, the ‘big sister’, but when she’s human again Miles is technically physically older. I have no idea who the asshole warlock and his three spouses are gonna be, I just know he’s an asshole.
Shiver is now named Pess, and yes she wears a cravat. Phoenix is Aidan and sort of an asshole at first.
Honestly I’d have Phoenix be Annika but Phoenix like. doesn’t have a sister. So I gotta make do. (Also I really, REALLY love Franziska and want her and Miles to have a good sibling relationship for ONCE.)
Man I’m tired I’ll add more to this later, but gosh this is fun.
@odd-jobs-gin Y E S I’ve watched Swan Lake that’s one of my mcfreaking favourites!!!
Initially I’d make Miles the prince but the prince’s friend is so Maya??? It’s so Maya. Plus if Miles is Odette that means he has his dad and also Franziska is adopted and happy and riding around on a horse and is free like the wind okay. O k a y. She’s happy. Let her be happy!!! (And add a subplot for her and Maya!)
Okay but,,, on the other side, also, the unicorn is definitely Maya too. ggghah but who would be Phoenix’s sister and dad if he’s Odette!!! Man I gotta think on this one, I love it so much.
I don’t want to make Franziska Rothbart’s daughter. At all. Rothbart is so von Karma but Franziska deserves better.
