Okay, so I’m going to do a DEEP dive into both Firey and Leafy’s characters throughout Bfdi S1

(Yes I rewatched all of Bfdi season 1 for this)

Leafy first appeared in episode one, and she’s happy and excited as she says ‘Woody get up! There's a life out there to enjoy, so enjoy it!” It's clear that Leafy has a positive outlook on life.

Firey also first appeared in episode one, completely contrasting to how Leafy was, as he’s grumpy and annoyed at Coiny, saying ‘Coiny you’re so dumb!’ and just picking a fight with him.

When the challenge starts, Leafy tells Pin they should help each other, and they form a little alliance. It's clear that from this alone, Leafy wants friends, and it's all she’s ever wanted from the very beginning.

Leafy doesn’t like Flower though, (which, yeah valid) and teams up with Pin to get Flower off the beam. Leafy also gives compliments wherever she can, and it feels sincere, because for the most part it is. Leafy is even excited to continue battling because it means more opportunity to befriend people. And it makes sense that Leafy doesn’t like flower, because flower is mean, and Leafy is all about being NICE. She even tries to get between the argument of Snowball and Needle, because she doesn’t want turmoil on her team.

---

With Firey, the way his entire team treats him isn’t very nice. Pin is bossy, Eraser is just mean in general, and so is Blocky. Plus, Blocky, Pen, and Eraser are all buds, and Bubble, Match, and Pencil are all buds, so I imagine Firey feels pretty left out on his team.

---

Whereas over on Leafy’s team, she tries her best to be supportive to everyone, and to include everyone (except when she accidentally leaves them behind, but she feels bad for that too) Leafy helps her teammates throughout the challenges, and during the second episode when Leafy puts the bowling ball over Icy’s head, it's because she genuinely wants to show her something, because why would she sabotage her own teammate and friend? Her death was clearly an accident as seen in later episodes that Leafy IS very sorry about it.

---

Firey isn’t even playing with his other teammates, he’s almost always solo wherever he goes, because he doesn’t really have anyone to help him (that wants to help him) like Leafy and Icy do.

Leafy also apologizes to Icy when she sees her again, and is happy to see her again, saying ‘Icy! Icy I’m sorry I killed you.” showing that she didn’t kill Icy on purpose.

I wonder if maybe Leafy was trying to get money by lending her cake so she could buy stuff for her friends, if so that's actually really sweet. But also, she loves the joy others get when she makes them happy, so idk. When Leafy notices Woody is struggling, she offers to give him a cake for free. Everyone is unhappy with that until Match offers to pay for Woody’s as well, and Leafy is relieved that there is no conflict with the ‘I guess it all works out!’

Leafy also has a little bit of a mean streak too though, as she gets mad and grumpy with some of her teammates, like getting mad at Needle for her cake causing the storm instead of using positive words, though in that case, I suppose its fair given Needle’s cake is literally ruining the world. Although at least when she slapped Needle and Needle started flying in the storm, she did say ‘Uh oh’, but later in the same episode, she offers to cross the bridge with Needle and Icy, so she obviously wasn’t that mad. She still cares about her friends.

---

As for Firey, I wonder if the reason he’s always so grumpy in season 1 is because his team doesn’t really value him at all, and he feels lonely, separated. Like seriously, Firey is so grumpy and unhappy in the episodes he’s on Squishy cherries team.

The fact that when Firey thinks he got zero votes, he says ‘Thank you, I needed to hear that’ just makes it sound like he’s been having a hard time. Even in the next contest when he keeps dying, Eraser and Pen are annoyed instead of supportive.

Leafy on the other hand just wants to hang out and enjoy the time she has with her friends, as seen when they are trapped in a room and she suggests they do the jigsaw puzzle. She didn’t suggest it cause she knew it would get them to progress, she suggested it because she wanted to bond.

The interesting thing is that when choosing who to add on their team, the grapes choose Firey. All of them except for Icy. Leafy probably did it because she wanted to help, and golfball and rocky and tennisball probably don’t like bubble match and pencil much, but why didn’t snowball choose eraser or pen? Eh, who knows. This isn’t a snowball analysis so moving on.

---

When he’s on the grapes team, Firey is sort of eager to prove himself to them, because he doesn’t want to be isolated like he was on his other team, and wants to help out more than he did on his other team. Because on his other team they didn’t really care about him much. He is eager to show how fast he is, and that he's better than Coiny.

Later when they split the teams, Firey says he wants to be the squashy grapes too, probably because he liked that team much more than his old one. I think if not for Snowball really wanting to pick Blocky, Leafy probably would have picked Firey.

Even when Firey talks about his fear of heights, his team isn’t very supportive about it as they just want to win. Just showing how 'valued' he really is on their team.

In episode 11 when Firey’s team, another name goes to the cake at stake place, everyone laughs at them except for Leafy and Bubble. Leafy is clearly nice to everyone though, but I think Firey liked Leafy's niceness because she actually valued him as a person, not just as a team member.

---

Firey too has a bit of a mean streak, and maybe an ego, though that ego might just be more exaggerated to make him feel important cause he doesn’t feel important most of the time. And his ‘mean streak’ is mostly against Coiny and Snowball. Coiny cause of their rivalry and Snowball probably cuz he's a jerk in season 1.

---

In episode 13, Leafy accidentally gives Icy a maroon ball, when she was genuinely trying to be nice (since she didn’t know about the rule) and Icy gets mad when Leafy says ‘sorry’. Leafy just has bad luck when it comes to icecube cause she tries to do nice things but it always backfires on her, making it look like she’s sabotaging Icy, but she’s not. Not only would it not make sense for her character, but she was always supporting Icy throughout most of Season 1 so I don't know why she would suddenly sabatoge her, which is why I think Leafy just has really bad luck (cause the world of goiky wants her to suffer)

---

In episode 14, when Spongy gets back in the game, Leafy asks Spongy how it's going and talks to him when no one else does. And during the elimination in episode 15, Leafy says that she hopes Icy doesn’t get eliminated because she doesn’t deserve to. She never says anything about herself getting eliminated.

In the same episode, Leafy is happy that Spongy got a good score, then in episode 16, Leafy has the opportunity to subtract 100 points, so she subtracts 10 points off everyone so no one loses more points than another person. In episode 17, Leafy gives Icy and Bubble gifts, which I wonder if she got from the money she earned giving some of her baking stuff away in the challenges. She gives them to Bubble, but then Pencil wants some too, and Leafy just wants to please everyone, and feels a little pressured, so she takes Bubble’s shoes and gives those to pencil, then she gives the other pair of shoes to Icy, but both Icy and Pencil get injured and then Bubble takes the shoes away after she revives.

---

In episode 17, everyone picks partners, and since Firey and Tennisball are the only ones left, they become partners. Tennisball usually has golfball, so he’s alone now too, but Firey doesn’t usually have anyone. Pencil has Bubble, Leafy has Icy, and even Spongy and Rocky have each other, man poor Firey.

Firey clearly wants to win though, whereas Leafy does want to win, but not as badly.

I just wanna say something about episode 18 that I thought was funny. When the contestants have to vote instead of the viewers and it's between Tb, Icy, and Leafy, Firey goes first. He votes Icy because she’s his opposite, but also I think, he didn’t want to vote Tb cause Tb is his only other maybe friend, and he didn’t want to vote Leafy either, so Icy was the one left over, plus I think it would be funny if he was jealous of Icy as well, being so friendly with Leafy LOL.

---

Ok, so I HAVE to talk about this one because it's just so interesting to me how parallel these two are. In episode 18 still, during the staring contest, Bubble takes off the shoes because it's too hard to keep them on. Leafy gets offended and feels betrayed, because well if she did earn money to buy those shoes, then yeah that's valid. But I think it's interesting what Leafy says:,

“I’m quite glad you like them! It's good to know that despite other occurrences, I won’t be surrounded by backstabbing friends who take my offer of friendship and my labors of love and just throw them away over their shoulders.”

I think this line is so interesting because um, Leafy isn’t this what you basically did with Firey’s ferris wheel? And then, I also think it's interesting that Firey’s whole thing about being mad at Coiny is because Coiny forgot that he dies in water, but when Firey forgets Leafy can die in lava, he gets mad at her. It's like both of these two are just honestly idiots and hypocrites when it comes to friendships lol.

THEN THE PARALLEL WHEN LEAFY TELLS BUBBLE SHE’S THE MEANEST PERSON ON EARTH TO THE PARALLEL OF FIREY TELLING LEAFY THAT SHE IS A MEAN PERSON???

---

OKAY EPISODE 20 NOW. ONE OF MY FAVORITE BFDI SEASON 1 EPISODES. The very beginning, Leafy and Firey are playing tic tac toe, and Leafy keeps winning. Firey wants to play again because he wants to win, I think this is both because he is competitive, but also because he wants to keep hanging out with Leafy LOL. Leafy says she hadn’t planned on playing tic tac toe 73 times. BRO HOW MANY GAMES HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING?

Anyway, when an excuse comes for Leafy to ‘help’ someone, she takes it, not wanting to really play anymore. Because she was stuck in a situation, she wanted to make Firey happy, so she was gonna keep playing even though she didn’t want to, but when she saw an excuse with Rocky, she took it. And Firey just wants friends poor guy.

Bubble and Leafy both try to make up for their sort of fight, Bubble by giving Leafy immunity, and Leafy by giving Bubble her cake when she gets it since she knows Bubble likes ice cream cake.

Later, once David is eliminated, Leafy and Firey bond over the fact that they are glad he’s gone lol. Leafy tells Firey they should be friends, and Firey immediately assumes ‘alliances’ because that's really all his team was, since he doesn’t have any ‘friend friends'. Leafy tells him that no, she wants to be friends, not alliances, which shows that she doesn’t care much about the game, as she cares more about friendships. And Firey is happy to hear that she wants to be friends, not just part of the game, since he’s so lonely.

I think it's funny that he doesn’t let announcer be friends with him and Leafy though, because as Firey said, "Only good people get to be friends." Which means he thinks Leafy is genuinely a good person, despite the mistakes she’s made, and he and Leafy both don’t like the announcer lol. Leafy and Firey try to get spongy, I think mainly just having fun playing with the spaceships, like I don’t think they were necessarily TRYING to get him out on purpose, it just seemed like they were having fun, and honestly both of them deserve it.

---

Firey is honestly having a lot of fun for like the first times in the entire game I feel like. He’s enjoying himself instead of thinking about winning (he’s still thinking about winning, but Leafy is more important), and is even upset when Leafy dies.

Bubble gives her immunity to Leafy again to prove to her that she’s nice, but Leafy is VERY passionate about niceness, and I definitely think she should have given Bubble more of a chance, but hey, everyone has their flaws right? Leafy is just a little TOO passionate about niceness, and putting people in these categories of niceness, giving all these high expectations that aren't healthy. Leafy then later gives Bubble some yoylecake, cause she knows that Bubble talks about Yoylecake alot. It's just an unlucky thing that Bubble turned metal after the contest started, since, well, Leafy didn’t know what the contest even was when she gave Bubble the cake, so it couldn’t have been sabotage. Also Leafy gives her immunity up to Spongy cause she feels bad for burning him. She knows that she’s got a chance of being eliminated, but she cares more for the PEOPLE than the game. This is something I think is so interesting in contrast to Taco in II, who pretends to be silly and nice in order to WIN. Leafy is just here for the friendship honestly, I doubt she really cares about the contest or dream island itself.

---

In the beginning of episode 20, Leafy jumps in to save Firey when he’s falling in the water, even though she very well knows she can be burned. And, when the announcer gets crushed by spongy, everyone asks what it means and Leafy says it means they all win dream island, just further proving my point that she doesn’t care about the game, and if she won, she’d let everyone onto the island. Because like I said before, she just wants her friends to be happy.

At cake at stake, FSB tells Leafy she’s awesome and that she’s still in the game. Leafy says thank you and FSB says you’re welcome. I think its funny that the box Firey built himself complimented Leafy. It just shows how much Firey likes her. Like come ON this man is down BAD. Firey also really likes his rewards I noticed, so I guess that's why it hurt even more when Leafy stole his biggest reward (Dream island)

---

Leafy is excited to be in the final four with Firey, and in the very last contest, Leafy is very considerate of Firey, waiting for him and letting him have the larger boat because ‘I know you can’t touch water’ dude, that's literally the reason Firey got mad at Coiny so much. Because Coiny kept forgetting he couldn’t touch water! And then Leafy comes in and is so considerate about that, showing that she REMEMBERS, and she cares? I would fall for her too at that point LOL. She lets Bubble use her raft too after they die and they have to go back.

Then, when Flower pushes Firey in the water, Leafy leaps in to save him but forgets that she can’t touch fire and they both die, but hey, she tried, and risked her own life to save him. When they return to the beginning and the boats are gone, Leafy tells Firey he can stand on her head while she swims as long as he doesn’t set her on fire. Everything goes well until Flower hits them and Firey dies in the water, Leafy saying ‘No! Don’t die!’ because she cares awwww

She even helps Bubble with her test too. When Leafy tells Bubble she thinks she should win the immunity, and Bubble says she’s tired of Leafy being so nice all the time, I think there was a lot of miscommunication here. Bubble is trying to tell Leafy that she doesn’t want her help in the game because then it feels like she’s not actually winning cause Leafy just helped her, which yeah, valid. But Leafy takes it as Bubble not wanting her friendship, and calling Leafy annoying for being too nice. So when Bubble says it's not fun because there's no challenge, Leafy says ‘All this time I’ve been trying to help you and you’re not even thankful?’ Yeah, honestly that's valid. Like, yes, I get that you shouldn’t be nice to expect something in return, but honestly, I relate to Leafy so much with that little line. As someone whose love language is words of affirmation, when I do something for someone, I just want them to acknowledge that I care for them so much that I did this thing for them, that's all. So if I were Leafy, yeah I’d get upset too. This isn’t Leafy being bipolar, (thats a whole other thing with evil leafy) or suddenly switching on Bubble, no, honestly with the way everyone sort of throws away Leafy’s gestures of friendship, this was a long time coming.

It sort of reminds me how in Bfdia, when Coiny did so much for Pin and then she ‘betrayed’ him, he got upset, telling her ‘I dug to the center of the earth for you.’ and I get that these two things are completely different, but both Coiny and Leafy put their friends above the game, (Book too) when everyone else was trying to play the game and didn’t want their help, or to help them. Although Leafy did overreact a bit by calling Bubble the meanest person on earth, but honestly Leafy being upset is completely valid here. Both of them being upset is valid, and if they TALKED through it they wouldn’t have this issue.

I also think Leafy is a little self conscious with Bubble and Icy because Bubble and Icy are in their own alliance with Pencil and Match. I wonder if she thinks that Bubble and Icy are just hanging out with her for the game, and not to be friends. It would make sense then if that's why she was so adamant with firey about being friends, not alliance members. Because alliances are for the game, and Leafy is searching for forever friendships, not temporary ones. So the fact that in Leafy’s eyes, Bubble helped Flower, showed to her that Bubble wasn’t her friend, she was just being friendly to her to get further in the game. It isn’t true, but it's what Leafy thought.

Leafy tries next episode to be friends with Bubble again because she doesn’t want the argument to ruin their friendship, but she made a mistake by moving on too quickly, because she didn’t think about how Bubble would feel if she just kept moving on like that. But honestly, the way Leafy works with emotions is she just pushes them down and pretends they aren’t there, so once an argument happens, she forgets about it and moves on, because why should one argument ruin everything? It's done with isn’t it, why should it matter anymore? So when Bubble says it isn’t a very stable friendship, (which makes sense), the way Bubble sees it, Leafy just gets angry then is nice again, and yeah, that's definitely not a stable friendship at all.

But Leafy sees it as Bubble rejecting HER, and her friendship, so she says that she’ll hang out with Firey because he doesn’t reject her, and he actually likes hanging out with her. So when they hang out on the ferris wheel that firey built (for her), Leafy is having a good time until Firey talks about the fun special part, as he completely forgot about her not being immune to fire and lava. The ferris wheel is both a tie between Leafy not liking when people reject her gifts, then proceeding to accidentally reject Firey’s gift by yelling ‘Get me out of this thing!’ and Firey getting mad at people who forget he can’t survive water, but then forgetting himself that Leafy can’t survive lava.

(These two are such mirrors of the other I SWEAR-)

So when he finds out that Leafy is essentially gone forever, he freaks out, because he likes Leafy, and she’s kind of his only friend, one that he relies on for company.

In the last episode, when the contestants are voting on who they want to win, almost everyone votes Leafy. Firey sees how popular Leafy is with everyone, and on top of the hurt he felt earlier, he thinks, what if leafy throws him away like she did Bubble? What if she doesn’t let him into dream island if she wins? Also, what if Leafy becomes more liked than him? And just, the fact that Leafy is his only friend, and maybe Bubble. I think he realizes these things during the voting. Leafy says she’ll be happy if either of them win, and she’s genuine, because she doesn’t care about the game like Firey and Bubble do.

When Firey wins, he realizes that he can make all his dreams a reality. He can be the popular one and the most liked, and he won’t have to worry about being excluded ever again. When he’s choosing who gets to come in, he’s hesitant about some of them, but he realizes that he wants to be liked, so he lets everyone in. Even David. Even Coiny.

So when it comes down to Leafy, he has to make a choice. He cares about her, but he’s also worried that if he lets her in, she’ll take away all the friends he might possibly make, all the attention he craves. Because he knows how popular Leafy is, he knows that everyone will just go to her as soon as she comes in, and he’s also filled with the hurt from when she rejected his gift, so he makes a rash decision in the heat of the moment and doesn’t let her in.

---

To Leafy, this is devastating. Not only is it another ‘rejection’ of her friendship, but it's someone she considered a close friend, closer than even Bubble and Icy. She says ‘What? But you let everyone else in! Even Coiny!’ which yeah, that must hurt seeing your best friend let in his mortal enemy, but not you. Leafy honestly doesn’t understand why he won’t let her in, which yeah valid. Especially the fact that he not only let in Coiny, but Flower, and David, the guy they literally bonded over disliking.

Firey feels cornered, like he has to defend his choice, to prove to both himself and Leafy that he’s not being selfish, that he’s doing this for a good reason, because Leafy hurt his feelings. And yes, that is part of it, but that's not the main part, if that was the main part, then he wouldn’t have let Coiny in either as Coiny hurt his feelings before too. He’s scared, and uncertain, and the way he stutters and pauses when he talks, really makes it sound like he’s trying to think of an excuse to convince both of them that he’s not the bad guy here. And Leafy is understandably upset by all this, because she moved on from the ferris wheel thing, just as she did with Bubble, and she doesn’t understand that what she did could be seen as a rejection.

Firey literally tells her “I made it for you and you just rejected it.” showing that he does think she rejected his gift, when she didn’t mean to do that at all. But when he tells her that ‘You are a mean person and I do not think you deserve to be on dream island.’ that just cuts at every part of Leafy, because her whole life is built on being kind, she’s told herself she’s the kindest person in the world, and she tries to live up to that standard, but on top of Bubble rejecting Leafy, and Icy rejecting her, and now Firey rejecting her, Leafy doesn’t know anymore.

And she’s upset. UNDERSTANDABLY. Firey didn’t explain a single thing, even if he said his feelings were hurt, BOY you should have talked it out with her MORE. So Leafy decides she’s done being misses nice girl if everyone is just gonna reject her, and goes full on backstabber. She also makes a rash decision in the heat of the moment as she's upset, so she decides to steal Firey’s prize because in her mind ‘He doesn’t deserve it, none of them deserve it.’ even though she doesn’t actually want it. And the fact that Firey boarded up the gate to keep Leafy out, just shows how afraid he was that she was going to try to break in or something.

When Pencil accuses Firey of excluding Leafy from dream island, Firey immediately directs the attention to the UFO, because he’s scared that if they find out he excluded her, they won’t like him anymore. The other contestants say that Firey deserves Dream island and Leafy says that she disagrees with that. Leafy tells them that she thought Firey was her friend, but then he turned into a jerk, and she definitely exaggerates the “hideous no good unloving jerk with no feelings at all" part, but she’s angry, rightfully so, and she also feels betrayed.

Pin suggests they talk about it and Leafy says she doesn’t want to talk right now. So when Golfball accuses Leafy of wanting revenge and stealing Dream island, Leafy is already a huge mess of emotions, and that's when Evil Leafy appears. Probably all her bundled up rage and hurt feelings that she never brought up again coming to the surface in the form of evil leafy.

After Firey hears that the recovery centers are gone and no one can be recovered anymore, his first thought is Leafy, because he’s worried about her even if he feels hurt and confused. He says he wants to apologize to her because he does, he probably realizes that he shouldn’t have done that, and that her friendship is more important than any hurt feelings or being popular. So when everyone tries to kill her, Firey swoops in and saves her because he’s just upset at her, he doesn’t want her gone forever.

Firey tells her that he’s sorry for what he did and that he realized what he wanted most wasn’t dream island, which means he didn’t actually know until he saw the recovery centers get destroyed. Because throughout the entire season all he cared about was winning, but once he became friends with Leafy, he cherished that friendship and didn’t want to lose it. He continues, saying ‘It's you, your friendship. I just want you to know that I’m tired of all this turmoil that's going on, all these conflicts and stuff. And I’d rather spend my time with you. Whether it's on dream island or not.’

And Leafy is so relieved and happy to hear that, because that's all she’s ever wanted too, so she says ‘Really? You mean it?’ and they fly off into the sunset together.

SORRY IF THIS WAS REALLY MESSY, I TRIED MY BEST TO SORT MY THOUGHTS INTO AN ESSAY BUT I DON’T THINK I DID GREAT..

And honestly these are just my personal opinions and head cannons after rewatching bfdi for like the 50 millionth time lol,

#bfdi analysis #bfdi season 1 #firey #leafy #bubble #firey and leafy analysis #sorry this is so messy and long #firey is so lonely it's not even funny #I love these two idiots so much

I HAD A THOUGHT AFTER WATCHING WICKED FOR GOOD.

Wicked For Good MAJOR spoilers down below!!! I WARNED YOU///

First of all, Elphaba and Leafy are so similar?? like both of them were hated by everyone and even hunted down to die?? Both of them just want to belong, and are misunderstood by literally everyone. And when Elphaba flew away on her broom, running from the people chasing her down, and ended up in the forest, it reminded me of Leafy being chased and then having no choice but to teleport to yoyleland. Both Elphaba and Leafy had a sort of moment with their best friend before leaving, Elphaba deciding to take her own path and Galinda wishing her luck, and Leafy and Firey flying away on the hangglider before it crashed. Also, both Elphaba and Leafy were driven to anger and murderous rage, AND both of them tried to help but made things worse.

Now for Galinda and Firey. Both of them care deeply about their status, and care for the friend being hunted down, but not enough to stand up for them or speak out against the ones hunting them. Both of them also have their own personal greivances against their best friend. Firey against Leafy for dream island, and Galinda against Elphaba for taking her man lol. Also both of them are silly in their own different ways, and have grown alot from where they first began, but still haven't spoken up for their friends. Plus both of them lost their best friend and either thinks they are dead or missing. Galinda thinks Elphaba is dead but she's not, Firey moght think Leafy is dead, but I think he mainly just thinks she's missing, and she did get kidnapped by one, but she's okay now.

GUYS I'M NOT CRAZY I SWEAR ELPHABA AND GLINDA ARE FIREAFY IN ANOTHER FORM!!!! (i say as I get dragged away into a padded room)

Anyway, I drew this after I couldn't stop thinking about this comparison all week. And I also enjoyed drawing firey in a dress 😌

#bfdia firey #bfdia leafy #wicked for good #fireafy but in another form #kept laughing as I tried to draw firey's dress #he looked like a fairy princess each time #leafy would be the cutest elphaba honestly #have these two really been changed for good?#is this a ramble or a drawing??#im so new to tumblr i swear its like learning to code #why are there so many OPTIONS for things???
