The Fairies and there Voices

Mood: Crappy

I'm writing a one-shot about Tinker Bell describing the voices of Terence, Lyria, Spinner, and Minister of Spring. I'm taking a creative leeway. None of the fairies' voices are described as how they sound in the movie....for example




Lyria's voice pinkled along in a medolic tone. Lyria always sounded like she was singing, even when she was just talking, like now. Her voice naturally fell into a steady rhythem and soared and fell from saprano to baritone according to her mood or the message she was trying to convay. It was facinating to listen to her talk.




Now Lyria in the movie doesn't really sound like she's singing all the time, but I thought this kind of voice would fit her. In this short story each fairy has a voice comapred to somthing else.




Rosetta- Has a snappy high pitched hum with a slight twang.


Silver Mist- has a soft flowing voice, that gurgles like the babbaling brook.


Iridessa- Also has a high pitched voice, but it's more of a squeal then a hum. She voice holds a slight echo


Fawn- Has a chipper chatter like a chipmunk unless she's mad in which it becomes more like the sound of a hummingbird's wings


Bobble- Has a slightly metalic sound, like gold scraping across copper


Clank- Has voice like Bobble's only deeper


Vidia- Has a whispery voice, like a wind in a hurricane.


Minister of Spring-Has a regal and proud voice, reminds Tink of a conceited flower she helped Rosetta with


Spinner- Has a cocky confident voice that sounds a bit like a mokingbird's call


Terence- Has a rich, buttery, sweet voice that oozes over you (Tink compares his voice to surup)


Lyria- Has a meldolic voice that sounds like she's always singing.


I likes Terence and Fawn's voices best :D


Meh

mood: Blah
Dancing blows let me tell you.

I got my shirt AND my socks stolen

But today is my last show :D

Then it's SUMMER :D

Fairies and the Quest for Neverland

Well I just finished Fairies and Quest for Neverland






Now I went in to this with not very high hopes. I was getting it for the illustrations not the story. But it turned out the story was better then the illustrations. I was pleasently surprised with this book. Not GCL's best but not bad either.






So here we have the little clumsy girl (Let's just call her Gwen) who loves fairies more then anything else in the world. So when Peter Pan takes her to Never Land where do you gather she goes? Fairy Haven of cource!






Now the first fairy we meet it Vidia. And Vidia does somthing I find a bit out of character. She jut flies straight up to Gwen and asks her to throw her? WTF?










I won't spoil this one completly but I will point out a few things that I liked and or didn't like.



1. Vidia: Its hard not to love her. She's nast she rude and she's a bitch. So can you blame Kyto for falling in love with her? Dude if I was a male anything on Neverland I'd be in love with her.



What bothered me was that she requited his feelings. I mean come on Vid's your sappoused to the cool independent loner fairy, not this....lovestruck pup. *sigh* It was terribly OOC, but towards the end not only did Vidia redeem herself, the Vidia/Kyto thing wasn't as bad as I thought. It was cute....in a creepy wrong way. Oh well Love has no boundries.




2. TinkXTerence: HA HA I'd like to see BobbleXTink supporters now! GCL! THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF THE DISNEY FAIRY SERIES OFFICALLY HAVE TINK AND TERENCE TOGETHER!

HA HA HA

I was confused though for like two thirds of the book. I felt like Tink was using Terence to get back at Peter, since everytime Peter was mentioned she was all over Terence. But other then that Tink kept snapping at him and making him keep his distance from her. It's never said what she would do if he got to close because Terence seems to understand and respect his given boundries Ex:

Terence's hand hung an eighth of an inch from Tink's shoulder. The hand didn't pat her, but it didn't move away either.

Tink settled nest to the Keeper collar, with her ploishing cloth for a pillow. Terence sat back against the collar, his lap an inch from Tink's head.

but it's pretty much all but shown Tink still has mild distaste for him.

Then along came these passages that changed everything

Terence hovered nearby, closer then Tink usually allowed him.-page 212

"I doubt it. She admitted she(Tink) missed him when she was in your backpack"-page 212

Good for Terence, at last-Page 212

"He'll never get free" Terence looked proudly at Tink, whose glow blushed.-Page 217

HA HA! I win! Terence and Tink will more likely then not become a couple :D

I still have to collect my thoughts but I will give review later

Queen Clarion, Myka and Lily in Full Bloom Review

Mood: Geeky
Title: Queen Clarion's Secret
Characters: Queen Clarion, Prilla, Lily, Beck, Terence, Fira and Bess
Rating: Three stars
Synopsis: Queen Clarion is missing! One minute Prilla was flying right behind her, then POOF!—the queen was gone. Meanwhile, someone has taken the precious heart seed from Lily’s rare Fairy Pink rose. Could the queen’s disappearance and the stolen heart seed be connected? With the help of Lily and Beck, Prilla follows clues that Queen Clarion has left behind. The trail leads them all the way to the mysterious High Tree Forest. Prilla knows the queen is somewhere in the vast, dark forest. But how will they ever find her?
Opinion: In case you can't tell I don't like Queen Clarion. I think she's an awful Queen. She shows lasyness and lack of good judgement. So I was actually kind of glad that she wasn't the actual center of the stroy. Instead a fairy I actually like, Prilla was the protagonist. She spies Queen Clarion strolling Lily's garden, see's her steal somthing form the garden and then disapears. Now it's up to Prilla, Lily and Beck to find where she's gone off too.
Despite my liking for Prilla and Lily this book gave me the blahs.
At least Queen Clarion wasn't a complete dumb-ass. She's getting better.
Worth it: Meh no not really

Title: Myka Finds Her Way
Characters- Myka, Bess, Trakk, Clera, Queen Clarion, Tinker Bell, Iris, Nettle, and Vidia
Rating: Four stars
Synopsis: Myka can spot an ant carrying a crumb in a faraway field. She can see an inchworm sliding along a twig in a distant wood. She’s a brave-hearted, sharpeyed fairy scout. Then one morning Myka thinks she spots something dangerous and sounds an alarm—a false alarm. Now Myka’s no longer so sure of herself. She’s starting to think something is wrong with her eyes, but she doesn’t want anyone to know. Can Myka count on her other senses to help her fool everyone?
Opinion: Well after a collapse of five not to great books we came across a winner. Myka Finds her Way brought the series back to it's former glory. Myka was a solid strong character. She isn't silly or airheaded, nor is she overly macho and tough. Myka is just Myka and that's what draw me to her. She suffers from pride, but who doesn't?
and it wasn't just Myka that made the series so good. All the fairies played a good part in making this book fantastic.
Trakk a scouting sparrow man was a good representation of an older fairy. He obviously was somene Myka wanted to impress, but in a big brother little sister kind of way. I like how he was suspicious of the eye-sight but wasn't pushing it on Myka, he let her discover it for herself. He was also concerned for her and wanted her to be taken care of...he seemed like a neat guy to have in a guild (He inspired Picket the scout in Lost Magic)
This was the first book that made me like and appreciate Iris. No longer was she naggy and boastful and critical, she was still thougtless but a little less annoying about it. And her knowledge saved the fairies from eating posionous flowers XD
Clera reminded me of Fairy Mary phyisically.
and Bess was Bess, which is a good thing
and finally Queen Clarion was a pretty good Queen this time around.
Worth it: It's one of the few must haves from this series


Title: Lily in Full Bloom
Characters: Lily, Iris, Aster,Fira, Bluebell, Rosetta, Fawn, Terence, Lympia, Fern, Scarlett, Azure, Dulcie, Takk, Taylor, Breeze and Queen Clarion
Rating: Four Stars
Opinion: Lily has always thought of herself as a garden-talent fairy first and foremost. But after Tink challenges the other talents to think up new ideas, Lily discovers she's pretty good at inventing things, too, like her new flowers, the panglories. They grow anywhere—in dirt, on wood, even on rocks! But then little gray spots pop up, first on the panglories, then on other flowers, until all the plants in Pixie Hollow start losing their colors. Can Lily invent a way out of this new fix?
Opinion: Again Lily pulls through for me. This was a fantastic book, not as good as her first, but not bad by a long shot. Lily faces another delimia when she gets caught up in a competition to invent (created by Tink though she's not to happy about it). She invents a new type of flower called a panglory. They grow everywhere! Everywhere!
But there rapid growth isn't the thing that's causing trouble. it's the fact that they start turning gray! and soon the other plants are turning gray too! And Lily feels it's all her fault.
Rosetta was once again restored to her proper status as a helpful witty fairy. In this book she's Lily's almost "mother-figure" she gets her food when she forgets to get some herself. Advises her on several occasions and defends her during the grey flower diaster.
Iris stayed in my good gracious this time too. She was actually very cute.
Tink was hillarious how she gets mad because the others getting defendy over there talents, because she boasts about how great her talent is. HA Tink you were asking for it!
Worth it: Oh yes
Well that wraps it up. Join me next time for a list of the best book to the worst book and everything in between. Then I'll rank fairies :D



Silvermist, Fawn, Rosetta, and Iridessa Review

Mood: (amused)

Title: Silver Mist and the Lady Bug Curse
Characters: Silver Mist, Fira, Iris, Vidia, Tinker Bell, Hem,Terence, Beck, Clera, Humidia, Spring, Queen Clarion, Prilla
Rating: Two and a half stars
Synopsis: Nothing rattles Silver Mist. She's the calmest water-talent fairy around ans as cool as a deep mountian lake. But then an "unlucky" white ladybug lands on Silvermist's head, and her orderly world is goes topsy-turvy. She's not the type of fairy to lose things or have accidents or make mistakes...untill now. Silvermist doesn't believe in bad luck and silly old fairy superstition. But now all her troubles began after she found the white ladybug. Could the other fairies be right? Is Silvermist really under a curse?
Opinion: Well Silver Mist was until very recently my least favorite fairy. She's annoying and lacks a good original personality. This book is like her. Boring, annoying and has no original personality. In this book Silver Mist has to deal with superstitious fairies after a ladybug lands on her head. and then she has to deal with her own creeping fear the luck may or may not be real.
The story was boring, but Fira, and Hem are nice.
and I was miffed Terence's sensibility got lost here. Now he seems just as supersticious as the others. Which annoys me greatly. Terence wouldn't buy into the curse just like he wouldn't buy into Beck stealing feathers or Bess' fad.
Pros: Fira
Seeing Hem again
Vidia's funny stories that mad Sil doubt herself
Cons: The rest of the story pretty much
worth it: Nope
Title: Fawn and the Mysterious Trickster
Characters: Fawn, Beck, Tink, Rosetta, Tor, Rani, Silver Mist, Terence, Dulcie
Rating: One star
Synopsis: Fawn loves practical jokes. So when her friend Beck plays a trick that scares the pixie dust off her, Fawn is impressed. She gets Beck back, and in the blink of a dragonfly's eye, the two fairies are in an all-out practical joke battle!
Prank fallows prank, until one night someone turns all the furniture in Beck's room upside down. And it wasn't Fawn! But if Fawn didn't do it....and Beck didn't do it. then who did? Is there another trickster in the Home Tree?
Opinion: Awful. Just Awful. This book has nothing, nothing to offer that was good. Fawn is a cool fairy (I've always liked her) but this book had absolutly nothing to do with her talent! I think we see her dealing with animals twice.....once with Twitter and once with mice. and the whole prank thing was awful.
The end
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
Worth it: Oh hell no


Title: Rosetta's Daring Day
Characters: Rosetta, Fawn, Rani, Fira, Tink, Vidia, Queen Clarion
Rating: Three stars
Synopsis:Rosetta and Fawn are complete opposites. Rosetta loves fancy dresses and flowers. Fawn would rather go on adventures with her animal friends. Then the queen throws a fancy dinner, and Fawn decides she doesn’t want to go. So Rosetta makes a deal with her. If Fawn dresses up for the dinner and minds her manners, Rosetta will spend a day doing whatever Fawn wants. Rosetta thinks it’s the perfect plan. But she never imagined just what Fawn would want to do! Can their friendship survive a day of frogs, mud, and . . . worms?
Opinion: Out of all the movie girls Rosetta has the best book. Her book shows two fairies who are completly different, and that's what brings them together as friends. So when a ball is announced Fawn and Rosetta make a simple deal. Fawn will dress up and behave and the next day Rosetta will do whatever Fawn wants. This turns out to be a mistake on her part. Because she's stuck doing things she would have never dreamed of doing.
Personally I like Rosetta. She's neat, and orderly and more thoughtful then some of the other fairies (cough Iridessa cough) but it bothered me that she never did anything during the fire. In most representations Rosetta may be falshy and girly but she's not a jerk or lazy. She would jump in and do what she could to help during a fire. So that was OCC on her part. But Fawn was absolutly horrible in this book. She slams into Rosetta's flower and doesn't care. She neglects all the hard work the sewing and shoe making fairies made to make her her dress and shoes by almost dropping them and then she goes and makes Rosetta do all this crap she KNOWS Rosetta won't want to do! and uses Rosetta's promise against her.
oh well for once Queen Clarion was a good Queen but maybe that's becuase she didn't do anything really.
Worth it: Meh if your a Rosetta fan like me then yes. If you don't want to see Fawn act like an ass then no



Title: Iridessa Lost at Sea
Characters: Iridessa, Tinker Bell, Beck, Queen Clarion, Mermaids, Melina, and Fira briefly
Rating: Two and a half stars
Synopsis: How did super-orderly Iridessa get into such a fix? First, Tink’s crazy idea to take a pirate bottle from Captain Hook goes horribly wrong. Then, in the flutter of a fairy’s wing, Iridessa and Tink find themselves trapped inside the bottle, floating forlornly on the ocean waves! But as they bob along, the bottle crosses paths with all sorts of unusual sea life, from green turtles to flying fish to beautiful, but selfish, mermaids. And gradually, Iridessa learns something new—a little adventure isn’t such a bad thing!

Opinion: I liked Iridessa in Tink's book she was cool. But here, the movies and the comics she AWFUL like want to throw up in your mouth awful (she's nice at the parks though, she's funny) I bought this book expecting that maybe it would make me appreciate a fairy I did not care for but it only made my dislike for her stronger. Here Iridessa is put in charge of figuring out how to do away with the owl that has nested to close to the Home Tree. Tink offers to help but instead of being grateful for Tink to step in and offer ideas all Iridessa does is complain and critize her ideas. She snaps at her for being helpful. What kind of friend is that? It would have been alright if she had realized her mistake and apologized right away, no she has to stew on it before she decides to apologize. and then when Tink again trying to help gets caught in a bottle and Iridessa with her, she just spends the whole time bitching at Tink. It was a bitch fest the whole book between the two. I just got sick of it. Iridessa is a horrible friend and Tink needs to do away with her.
Worth it: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Unless you like a good bitch fest then yeah I guess.
Bleh the Four movie girls books wern't to good were they? Hopefully the next batch will be better. The last three are Queen Clarion's Secret, Myka Finds her Way, and Lily in Full Bloom, afterwards I'll review Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand and list the books in my opinion from best to worst.
