Would Smurfette or anyone else smurf the extra nine yards for sweet Vanity? Who knows. But Lord knows I, SMURFAZALEA, give Vanity my heart & soul & the all the healing love in the world. He’s the sweetest angel heart I ever adored! More than all the boys I’ve had crushes on, Vanity has the most pure heart known to me. And there may be other girls out there who love Vanity Smurf which is highly appreciated BUT they’re not gonna adore him as infinitely and fiercely as I. 💍💙🦋

It still bugs me that Smurfette is just half of a friend to Vanity, that’s the bitter truth I’ve witnessed. Wikipedia lied saying Smurfette is Vanity’s best friend because she flaked out on him when he was a Wartmonger. If she was indeed, his best friend, she would never leave his side through the pretty and the ugly.

My amazing art right here has again spoken.

old thoughts on the boy smurflings and papa

do you think as they age, papa knows how certain situations are gonna play out cuz he remembers similiar (if not the same exact) things occurring when they were adults? perhaps it's something small like papa taking one of them (minus sassette) out to pick herbs in a random spot that gives him deja vu for a minute or so before he's mentally transported back to a time when every smurf was small, his beard was brown, gargamel hadn't been born yet, etc. the same spot and the same smurfling, too. picking herbs. and he'd admit it feels odd, y'know? it's the same, but so very different. different, but so very much the same. the evil creatures and other threats to the smurfs have always been there, sure, but the smurflings definitely don't deserve to grow up with villains like gargamel chasing them left and right. very unfortunate. part of papa finds solace in the fact there's just some people and things the smurflings are never going to remember... things that, for whatever reason, they'd want to forget. on the other hand, so many good memories and crucial moments of growth have been lost, now forever only remembered by him or the others. on a lighter note, maybe he could change some things this time. y'know. stuff that he could stop before it can start. as different as they are and as different as their environment is, some things just... happen. it could be something like preventing a fairly bad piece of history from repeating itself such as "snappy picked at some flowers he didn't know he was allergic to and got super sick at least a century ago” except this time papa makes sure to point the flowers out early. snappy doesn't really get why papa's so adamant on telling him to “watch out for some stupid flowers" and thinks "it's kinda weird" to randomly point it out like that to only him and no one else, but hey, at least he won't go near them now!

Seasons 5-8 of The Smurfs (Part 1): The Smurflings

In Season 5, four kid Smurfs were introduced to the series to appeal to a younger demographic. Their names were Nat (who was originally the adult Natural Smurf in the previous season prior), Snappy, Slouchy and Sassette. When they came on television for the first time, most 80s fans were not pleased with their presence. Some found it too unnecassary to happen, while others found them incredibly obnoxious or too annoying as characters. Now, this wasn't Hanna-Barbera's fault, not even in the slightest. It was at a time where the babyfication fad was a thing and NBC wanted the Smurfs to jump on the bandwagon, so they can continue to keep the show fresh and from becoming stale.

Meanwhile in Belgium, The Smurflings were soon added in their own comic book adaptation after their debut on TV. But unlike their cartoon show counterparts, they didn't have much appearances in the comics. This is because Studio Peyo was aware of their "overexposure" on American television at the time and didn't want the characters to overshadow the rest of the adult Smurfs (who are not Papa, Smurfette and Brainy). In my opinion, I think the backstory of where the three adult Smurfs de-age back into Smurflings was too unnecessary to happen. Why were the Smurflings added? Because they needed child characters for kids to relate to. Are they pointless? Sort of, yes.

The Smurflings are a good addition to the series, but they marginalized a handful of other Smurfs, such as Hefty, Lazy and Jokey. Unlike Scooby-Doo, however, they weren't written out of the show that quick after the fifth season's success. They were still there to help the Smurflings retrace their memories through childhood again, even if they don't get as much episodes centered around them like in the previous four seasons. On the plus side, they even had a dog named Puppy to take care of, who was a bit larger than the Smurfs. But we'll get to him in a future post.
