I follow nobody. Just a talented artist who's infatuated with different animated characters(and a few celebrities). In real life, I'm just a loner and I like it that way. Note: Requests are not accepted here. Everything I post here is PG-rated: Except for the smoking hot tribute I made to Dr. Two-Brains. Watching it alone is recommended. If you feel the same way about your favorite characters, you'll enjoy it here on my personal blog. I have a Deviant Art account(which I use most frequently): https://www.deviantart.com/gmretrolatebloomer
Summary: I sing this Madonna hymn religiously. Every lyric reflects what Vanity Smurf means to me.
The first sentence is a true statement to start with because life is a mystery. You need to figure yourself out first and then later decide your future.
-Intro- Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name and it feels like home.
Like A Prayer represents an intimately romantic and spiritual relationship between a woman and God. This equals my relationship with Vanity Smurf overall. Vanity is my main muse. My shining sun in the sky above me where I seek for inspiration. In the video where Madonna falls from the sky and the angel catches her, reassures her, and tosses her right back up, I am reminded of my inner voice that's been guiding me this whole time into pursuing Vanity Smurf. As a spiritual name, I call my inner voice 'Aphrodite' since she's always been my favorite goddess. Together, she and my own heart have been my spiritual guide. Next in the music video, the part where Madonna's significant figure kisses her forehead reminds me of my real past dreams of Vanity and I doing the same. We are no stranger to having physical and emotional intimacies together whether in dreams or waking up.
The two last important details of the song I want to address are the lyrics that say "You are a mystery." Now I've learned so much about Vanity Smurf, except for his actual smurfday(birthdate). It is never revealed in the Smurf cartoon or comics. That makes him somewhat of a mystery.
Next, the second detail follows: "Just like a dream. You are not what you seem." Right here, I'm referring to people's repetitive rubbish fanart about Vanity Smurf's sexuality. It seems like a trend or fantasy that people are wishing for. Just like a dream. But Vanity Smurf is not homosexual because by proof, he has already expressed heterosexual preferences in the Smurf cartoon. Especially during the Mr. Smurf competitions over Smurfette. Vanity is not what he may seem to some. As usual, the majority of individuals misjudge him as 'gay' just because of his effeminate style of dress and voice. Fashion and sexuality are not the same thing. Don't people understand he is actually a dandy-type man with an occasional interest in Smurfette? Well I do. Never have I thought he was gay nor a sin. I understand he is just as straight as the other smurfs by truth. Besides, people's meaningless rumors of him never get to me anyway because they don't understand the real Vanity Smurf like I do! This is the end of my analysis.
Final thoughts- As soon as I officially fell in love with Vanity Smurf, I'm always going to stay forever in love with him because he's always been a part of the real me. What's more, I'll keep celebrating Madonna's powerful gospel anthem for my beloved Vanity from my own heart.
I composed a thorough evaluation declaring Vanity Smurf was the missing fragment of my heart of glass.
No more dating other fictional boyfriends- Vanity Smurf is my 'True Blue Mirrorcle' (Full Analysis)
Summary: I'm officially quitting dating fictional characters. Don't believe me? Just read on if you're not fully convinced! Since my beloved Vanity Smurf blessed my life this year with countless miracles, I've felt like the happiest lady on Earth because he revived my self-love, self-worth and inner peace. Wow, those are the best gifts I ever had! That's not all. Vanity and I share a kindred spirit that attracted us to each other emotionally, spiritually, and romantically. AND we're going to pursue a wonderful dream together- Opening a beauty boutique in Smurf Village! Sounds like we've got a beautiful future ahead of us. We're really excited about pursuing this dream together and to show the other smurfs how seriously creative we can be! Mark my words: Smurf fashion will never be the same again.
Making The Final Decision
So......after a decade of dating countless cartoon characters from multiple series, I've entered the last dating round-The Smurfs 1981-1989 animated series that everyone remembers watching on Saturday mornings. My experience: It happened last year when I began binge-watching The Smurfs reruns for these reasons: Childhood nostalgic cravings and binge-crushing on many smurfs.
Point 1: Grouchy Smurf awakened my smurf crush-cravings because of his sincere devotion and care towards Baby Smurf and that's when my dating spree ran loose all over Smurf Village. Crazy fact- I binge-dated over 30 smurfs (including Vanity) starting from May to November until I couldn't keep up anymore. Phew! Rollercoaster dating is exhausting, yet an exciting way to explore your own tastes. Anyway, quality matters more than quantity!
Point 2: After my last dates with Timber, Angel, and Painter, mid-November came and I knew it was time to narrow the crazy crush load down to only one smurf. My inner voice kept echoing "Vanity....Vanity!" in my brain so much that it was impossible to ignore. Like they say, trust your inner gut feeling! I was wondering if he is actually my own Mr. Smurf and then the deja vu came to haunt me.
The Answer Was Found in The Mirror
After spending hours of self-reflecting, I vaguely recall the handsome smurf mainly appealing to my curious nine-year-old heart simply because he challenged his typical gender norms with his effeminate traits, embraced his body image without shame, and his lovely soft voice just crept in my mind! After over a decade passed, I was 24 and somehow ended up returning my attention to Vanity not yet knowing he would be my forever 'at last'. Strangely, I feel like fragments of him already existed in my veins since my early teens because- just like him- I ALWAYS carried my compact mirror in public constantly monitoring my body image while trying to rid of any little flaw whenever possible. So I clearly see the world through his eyes and know why he's self-obsessed. Trust me, I lived in my mirror as well! Simply because he wants to protect his esteem and be validated as the most attractive-looking creature. Is that so bad? Maybe for the jealous Princess Periwinkle who longed to find his kindred spirit. But, it's ok. The world is full of Vanity Smurfs anyway. So, throw away all your criticism and let him be!
The Inner-Reflection of Vanity Smurf
If you have not yet realized, he's actually a great role model who cares about his smurfy community other than himself. For instance, he demonstrated an empathic side in 'Once In A Blue Moon'- the premiere episode of season 3- when he was evidently one of the main concerned smurfs who could not bear the leaving of Baby Smurf. And so with desperation, Vanity disguised himself as Baby Smurf covering his body inside the basket in hopes of extending Baby Smurf's company in Smurf Village!! Now that really intrigued me. So let's suppose his risky decision actually fooled the stork: Vanity would be taken to the nursery where Baby Smurf came from-(which is in a faraway location)-and he would have to find his way back to Smurf Village and reassure his friends that he did it for the sake of not losing Baby. And that's my final theory. Sounds very likely, doesn't it? And this I will declare- His somatic narcissistic traits are healthy rather than toxic. Listen, I know what I'm saying because knowing Vanity inside-out, I'd prefer Vanity over the Mr. Toxic (Gaston) somatic narcissist who killed poor innocent forest animals, including Belle's lover who she faithfully revived.
Princess Periwinkle's Mirror is Correct About Vanity
Considered to be 'fairest of them all'- VANITY SMURF- Absosmurfly! Not just beautiful on the outside but inside as well! The pixie's magic mirror KNOWS Vanity's smurfy goodness inside. Even though Vanity and Princess Periwinkle are both good-looking yet her jealous wrath was indeed toxic enough to make Vanity the innocent Snow White. So that serves Vanity Smurf the right to earn his title as the fairest!
His True Beauty swept my heart, not just my eyes
After evaluating the big picture of my beloved Vanity, all I can do is just melt. All of these wonderful observations officially earned him to forever remain as the main centerpiece of my heart because his goodness gave me such a brighter year and also helped revive my self-love! His self-confidence boosted my own as well. I've been reset. I'm shiny and new again. Have I been blessed with an everlasting mirrorcle?? All this time, I was so blind not to realize that Vanity Smurf was the other half of me- A clear reflection of my own beliefs, attitudes, talents, heart of glass, flamboyance, flower power, and somatic self-loving personality! Never will I see Vanity Smurf as just superficial but also a one-in-a-million mirrorcle.
True blue, baby, I love you! - Religiously, I sing that Madonna tune for him on karaoke.
With a happy heart, I met Mr. Alan Oppenheimer (voice of Vanity Smurf) today at Creep I.E. Con at Ontario Convention Center...🥹💕
My dearest wish came true today when I spoke with Vanity Smurf's original voice actor, Mr. Oppenheimer. He was polite to me and friendly and he spoke to me in Vanity's voice!! 🥹 I remember he said to me, "I'm Vanity Smurf and this is my mirror!" (while he held my Vanity Smurf plush and held my heart shaped pink mirror) Then Mr. O continued to me, (in Vanity's voice) "And which Smurf are you?" Confidently, I replied with a smile "I'm Smurfazalea!" Vanity said, "Smurfazalea, Smurfazalea. You're beautiful." 🤗🦋🌸✨ If you haven't met Mr. Alan Oppenheimer in person, you are missing out on your happiness of a lifetime because he genuinely enjoyed talking with me about Vanity and he told me he was surprised that I was the only fan who mentioned Vanity Smurf to him in many years! Many fans talk to him about Falkor and Skeletor, but I was the refreshing centerpiece at his table who brought up things about Vanity that Mr. O. forgot about.
You know, it's been 40 years since he voice acted as Vanity in the classic Smurfs cartoon. 😃 Mr. O. sweetly smiled at me with his soft brown eyes, (shook my right hand three times!) And I continued giggling every time he spoke in Vanity's voice. ✨WOW✨ My dad was there with me talking to him as well, and Mr. O. really liked my Vanity Smurf shirt that I custom-designed, Mr. O. said it's very cute and beautiful. He also thought my Vanity plush was beautiful.☺️As long as I live, I told him, "I only came to see you and I'll never forget this day!" 🥹 I left the building feeling on top of the whole planet Earth. 🌎
Lastly, I wish Mr. Alan Oppenheimer, & Vanity Smurf, all the best! 💕Thank you, thank you, Mr. O. for giving us Vanity's beautiful voice. Thank you, Lord, for the best day of my life🙏🙏🌸💕✨
After squealing over Vanity's adorable "I'm-preciously-yours" pose, I knew the body portrait needed retouching because the original image was very low-resolution. Now look at him....he's a bundle of heaven!!
Watch how I rescued Marvin in the Space Jam: A New Legacy because I was hoping something would save him from the heavy object.
I couldn't believe the disappointing screen time- only a few seconds to appear? And Marvin suffered an injury during his cameo. Shame on Warner Brothers for hurting Marvin's admirers!!
