My sunflower-garden

My works are based mainly on the 1980’s cartoon’s universe, with some elements taken from the comics. Thus the naming (my Greedy Smurf = Chef + Greedy).

Smurfs are creatures of the Moon (who they worship as Mother Moon), so their magic is a special form of Moon-magic. Every member of the current generation bears some kind of unique magic, except for Handy. He was given the ability to have prophetic dreams instead. It is referred to as “Cassandra’s legacy”. The smurfs are not quite aware of the presence of their magic, yet. (Except for a few, but only on the level of suspicion.)

Moon-magic is inherently silver, but given that Smurfs bear a special kind of it, their default magic is mainly blue.

Something terrible happened in the past, which almost wiped out their whole race, leaving Papa Smurf as the sole survivor. With the help of Mother Moon the new generation was born, and that event led to the fact that they were delivered in a hurry, in a span of a single year.

The phase “baby smurf” lasts for the first ten years of their lives. “Smurfling” is the name of a smurf, who’s between 10 and 100 years old. (Though during the last decades they are quite rebellious, and don’t like to be addressed like that.) Smurfhood starts at 100. (This doesn’t mean their brains are fully developed by then. They still need a lot of time to mature.)

The fics, in which the smurfs are considered grown-ups, take place between their 100-110 years of age. (If not, it’s pointed out.) At the age of 110, the members of the current generation start growing hair.

Baby Smurf is delivered when the current generation is 100 years old.

To quote myself:

Miner: #4

Tailor: #5

Tracker: #6

Lantern: #8

Vanity: #58

Tuffy: #75

Lazy: #78

Sloppy: #79

Marco: #92

Hunter: #93

Pushover: #94

What do you think?

Those who already have a "number" are the following:

1. Hefty, the oldest of the current generation

2. Farmer

3. Greedy

7. Handy

34. Harmony

50. Grouchy

57. Painter

76. Clumsy + 77. Brainy (the only two who were delivered on the same night)

80. Jokey

90. Poet

91. Dreamy

97. Timid

98. Scaredy, the baby of the bunch

I can't give you a full list, only those characters I feature in my fics and have hc-s about, so, here they are:

Brainy, Clumsy, Dreamy, Farmer, Greedy, Grouchy, Handy, Harmony, Hefty, Hunter, Jokey, Lantern, Lazy, Marco, Miner, Painter, Poet, Pushover, Scaredy, Sloppy, Tailor, Timid, Tracker, Tuffy and Vanity.

Hm, let me think🤔 I've only seen approx. 60% of the og series, the first 2 seasons of Ntob, The lost village, and the 2 live action movies.

In the og series I dislike Jokey the most, cause he's a little jerk, but he has some redeeming qualities if you are patient and dig deep enough, and despite all, he does care about the others and if push comes to shove, he can be more than just a jokester.

Tuffy was also irritating, like a meaner subtype of Hefty, I've seen him only as a bully, too one-sided.

In Ntob I hate Jokey. While in the 1980's series he is kinda likeable despite his flaws, in Ntob he's just an annoying jerk and nothing else.

I don't like Reporter or Narrator either, the former because he is too modern, the latter because he feels unnecessary, just a "filler" character, if it makes sense.

I only remember the main characters of The lost village movie, and they were good or okay for me (except for Blossom, gosh, she is so annoying.)

Fortunately I forgot almost everything about the live action nightmares (Yes, I've seen both once. Thank God I remember only the characters and only one scene from both movies.) What I remember is that I hated Gutsy and Vexy and Hackus, cause they operated with infantile and/or gross humour, and I despise both.

As for the girls in general, I'm neutral towards them except for Blossom. I've always found the "too hyper" type of characters irritating, and she is too much in every aspect.

I mean, just look at them! They are so flirty with each other. Chef is a character from Ntob I really like, he's so fun to watch with his exaggerated mannerism and fiery temper. And he seems to be caring towards Brainy, even when he's annoyed by his antics. (Asking for his opinion etc...)

There are episodes when Chef has a complete meltdown because he's fearing for Brainy's safety (eg. Pop out and Brainy gets ghosted), and ones when they are positively flirty with each other (eg. Smurfs might fly)

Oh, good question!😍

I really liked the og series when I was a child, watched it a lot back then, if I could. (Recently I was organizing my childhood drawings and found a horrible one about the Smurfs, I might have been 5 years old when I drew it, I think, based on the "quality". 🤣)

So, I think I started watching them when I was maybe 3 or 4, and watched the cartoon for about 5 or 6 years. (Back then we only had a TV, and watched whatever was on during that short period when we were allowed to watch cartoons. Dad was not a fan of screens raising children, so we had limited access to media, thank God.) I wouldn't say I was "in the fandom", there were no fancy names for childhood interests back then, we just liked things, it's that simple. In Hungary during that time merch was almost nonexistent, thank God, at least where I lived, we didn't have merch about the Smurfs either. So we just watched the cartoons we liked and skipped those we don't. If we missed an episode, we couldn't do a thing about it, if we were lucky, they were airing them once again after 6-12 months.😄

After that, our interest shifted and I haven't watched a single episode till I was attending uni (during the 2010's). I had internet access that time and I remember watching that horrible Christmas episode with my Dad out of boredoom. (The one when Gargamel tried to sell 2 kids to Satan maybe?😅 Don't want to refresh my memories on that one.)

It all started with "What I admire in you". I know it's not about the numbers, but:

Thanks for all of your support!

Oh boy, I had to go through the episode list for a bit, cause it's been almost a year since I last binged the og episodes now. But here are a few, which's concept felt too modern for me:

Astrosmurf

Smurfbox derby

Circus for baby

Locomotive smurfs

There was one episode where Grandpa had an air balloon if I remember correctly

An encounter with a stranger during a "field trip" reminds them that the Smurflings still got a lot to learn.

I'm really proud of this! Every bit of lore is original here, my own creation.

Ah, the mistreated child!

I find him an interesting character all in all. His interactions and banters with Gargamel and Azrael were entertaining. He had so much more potential than just be a mistreated punchbag. I think, unlike Gargamel, he had the potential to become a more powerful wizard, if under the right master, who could entertain, challenge, guide and stimulate him well enough. He deserved a redemption arc, some kind of character development, but, sadly, he got none.
