(The diary of my siren OC from the Shrek universe 🔥 8 chapters are already out 🖤 The link of the first part is at the bottom of this post 😁)

In this diary Analea talks about her adventures with the Pied Piper and her encounters with other Canon Shrek Characters. It's full of thoughts and doodles. The "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" inspired me to create little stories related to Analea x Piper dynamic. 😁

I hope you like the idea 🖤🤍

I will try make things easy to follow! Enjoy! ⬇️Start with the link below⬇️

(Also I think this song fits him in general)

Example 1 (Shrek Forever After movie)

Example 2 (Shrek Forever After game)

(If yes, then I'm impressed)

He ended up carrying plate of cheese with utter elegance 🧀 🤣

Your choice is very important 🫵

I think about it a lot. That's why I made a fanart of them 😁

The text in the fanart:

Donkey: No way! Man... You mean to tell me you read the spicy medieval literature?!

✨️ჰამელნელი ვირთხების დამჭერი✨️

It's hella long 🤣 (it means The Rat-Catcher of Hamelin)

Might be the only georgian person in the Pied Piper tag 😭

I think that the Pied Piper is actually the biggest, most insufferable ✨️Rat nerd✨️ to ever walk the Earth. He treats his rats like a highly strategic, competitive Pokémon deck.

Let's make a deep dive into this 🤣

​​The Piper’s Tactical Rat Guide 🐀 🪖

He doesn’t just play a tune and hope for the best. He has selections. He has categories. If you ask him about it, he will corner you for four hours and explain the nuance in his "Tootish" language:

The Shock Troops (The "Chonk-Bobs"): These are the massive, over-fed city sewer rats. He only summons them when he needs heavy-duty demolition or to break a line of defense. They don't dance; they waddle aggressively.

2. The Agile Skirmishers (The Fancy Rats): Sleek, quick, and highly aerodynamic. He uses these for stealth missions.

3. The Emotional Damage Unit: A specific swarm of tiny, incredibly cute baby rats. He sends them out first so the enemy goes, "Aww, look at their little paws-" right before the Chonk-Bobs hit them from the flank.

Behind the Scenes at Piper HQ​

The Diet Plan:

He spends 80% of his mercenary earnings on premium, organic cheese and high-protein grain mixes. He refuses to let his rats eat garbage because "it ruins their muscle definition for the synchronized choreography."

So yeah... ✨️

What if Pied Piper were actually the grown-up firstborn child that Rumpelstiltskin wanted, and the contract was a way to bring the child back to him as his own slave?I’ll probably elaborate on this idea in later posts, but yeah…

It's just sus that he specifically tracked down Piper in that 2007 comic prequel, where he lost his flute, because the rat king stole it.... And in Shrek Forever After, Stiltskin had him as his efficacious bounty hunter. Why him????

If it's true...

That means that Pied Piper is a son of Miller's daughter... And Miller's daughter became a queen later in a "Rumpelstiltskin's Tale"

Wich makes him a secret royalty... And he is probably unaware of it, because tragic things happened in-between.

It could also explain why he is uncanny and magic follows him everywhere.

I would add the fact, that Miller's daughter broke the contract by guessing and speaking Rumpelstiltskin's name out loud. And her son now (If Piper is really her son) is mute. 💀 He ensures the child can never speak against him. Also remember my theory about fairies taking his voice in exchange of flute magic, now I wonder if I'll interconnect Rumpelstiltskin to fairies in my own AU about Piper’s past.

I came up with this theory, because I was casually admiring, that one @sketchescharly fanart. ❤️

I'm talking about this one 😁 ⬇️

Don't you think that it's strange that Piper wears black clothes in Shrek but calls himself "The Pied Piper"? and Pied basically means "colorful" in English 🤣
