Hello Riddle, I have a question for you, and it’s about one of your older posts: the Fairy Timmy one. Since Timmy, in that particular ask, used to be a human with a whole soul before being turned into a fairy by the Abracadabrium —The source of Fairy World's magic—, and then Nega-Timmy and Timantha became his Anti-Fairy and refracted alternates, what exactly is his/their magic pool like? Also, what is Nega-Timmy, Timantha, and Timmy's relationship like with each other?
- This Ask from July 2017
- Magic pool post
The amount of whiplash I got from checking back on that Ask and seeing "Timmy would be dead in 3 months," crying. This was worsened by the whiplash of remembering the Nega-Timmy comic I linked there, btw.
In an AU where Nega-Timmy and Timantha became Timmy's Anti-Fairy and Refract counterparts, they definitely wouldn't have any connection to Anti-Fairy or Refracted culture. They'd differ a lot from regular counterparts by that reason. Refracted culture instills shame in pretty much everything - especially owning material possessions - so Timantha would not last in a flock. Girl, run.
In my usual lore, I like to think they enjoy Unwish Island and that's why they don't leave it and interfere with Timmy's life, but I could see them wanting to explore if they have wings to fly with and magic that lets them teleport. Although looking at this old Ask, I clearly said Timantha wouldn't like going outside or flying because she considers it work and that's not her thing, so there's that. Definitely teleports because doors are for chumps.
Thinking on it with my 9-years-later brain, I definitely imagine Timantha would hover around Timmy, wanting to "help" him, while Nega-Timmy for some weird reason feels obligated to hang out with Timantha. If counterparts are connected to the host, Nega-Timmy might have some desire to protect Timmy, though I'm sure he would also bully him a lot just like Foop bullies Poof. He'd team with other bullies sometimes, but if they took it too far, he'd turn on them because Timmy is his bro at the end of the day.
They're not friends. They probably don't even play video games together or anything, and Nega-Timmy definitely wastes all the shampoo and stuff in Timmy's shower.
I also have a note in this old Ask that Nega-Timmy would "freak out over how little respect Timantha shows her clothes" and that "the height of his evildoing is napping on top of a stack of clean towels so no one else can have them" and 9-years-later me is like "lmao, that's my boy."
Nega-Timmy would hands-down have the lion's share of the magic pool because in his episode, he has a weird magic aura anyway (Being followed by a rain cloud, having a snake tongue). I forgot how funny this episode is, with Cosmo admiring his many photos of Wanda until she finally admits she needs his help and then he throws them away and yells "FINALLY!"
Timmy would have the middle of the pool, obviously- He's an average kid!
Timantha's much more down-to-earth, not even wishing for things: she just solves all her problems by herself. Definitely has the smaller portion of the magic pool, but it's extremely important to me that (in my main canon) I don't portray her as that much different than Timmy and instead write her as "Timmy if he grew up living like a girl and facing certain norms and expectations that come with that." She's sometimes selfish, but has a good heart. Really likes comics and video games.
I think we all know that if she were their daughter, Timmy's parents would have put absolutely massive pressure on her and pushed her too hard (given what we know about the Sophie universe and how they seem to expect little from Timmy, implying they have "Girls are easier and boys will be boys" mindset), but... I guess that doesn't matter if she just poofs into existence and then poofs into Refract form. She's a lot closer to Timmy's personality than Nega-Timmy is, but she's openly feminine in a way neither of them are.
I wrote a one-shot about Timantha and Nega-Timmy living at Unwish Island. This is based off the cartoon canon (So, this doesn't fit your Ask about Timmy touching Abracabrium in the movie canon), but you might like it- It's called "Swim" and I think it's silly.
