Very confused!! No worries, though, Hazel's here to help explain the situation! Surely, this conversation will only go well!

I believe that time passes differently in Fairy World, which could help explain Wanda and Cosmo going on vacay for 10,000 years. Plus it would take Peri 1,000 years to finish Fairy School and become a Godparent.

The reason why Peri was assigned to such a hard kid is because of the whole 'family legacy' thing. Not only was he born to two fairy actively working with a kid and grew up in that environment but he is also very powerful. So I think Jorgen (or who ever made the assignment) figured he could handle it.

I think that retirement means something different in Fairy World. I think it's the equivalent to switching jobs. Like (for example), a fairy retires from working for the Tooth Fairy, goes on vacation for a few thousand years, then starts Fairy School to become a Godparent.

It's also possible that it was decided at some point that fairies could have kids again. Likely when older fairies started retiring from their jobs (and not just Godparenting) and there is a worker shortage.

Ooo I like these, especially the second one — I don’t remember who but someone made a Gifted Kid Burnout(tm) joke on one of my posts about Peri, and that combined with your theory explains so much — Peri was born to a family of good (if unconventional) fairy godparents, raised pretty much as an unofficial FGP, and a lot of stuff just came naturally to him. It’s basically the magical foster parent equivalent of being born to a pare of amazing lawyer/doctors/etc, and never having to learn proper study skills due to being naturally gifted socially and in school, only to be smacked in the face with reality when you’re given a caseload way above your skill set right off the bat and you also don’t have the abilities to adapt because you never had to develop them

Retirement not being permanent for fairies also makes sense — they’re basically immortal, let’s be real they’d probably get bored out of their minds if they didn’t have some kind of task to get up to

Why is Talie being homeschooled? Is this a recent development or has this been going on for a while?

Has she ever been to public school? Is Timmy planning to enroll her in one in the future?

How is Timmy doing with teaching Talie? It seems like he's doing a pretty good job but from what I remember of the OG show Timmy isn't the best with school stuff.

When do you think Peri will learn about Timmy and his niece? I need him a Talie to meet.

Will we get to see Talie and Hazel hanging out? Their future friendship means everything to me.

I am now just realizing that all of these are about Talie but she's such a sweet character and I really like her.

I'm glad you're enjoying it so much!! That really makes me happy 😁

I honestly never gave it much thought. It just kinda happened? That's terrible of me, I know, but that's the honest truth! Once I had written it, though, I really liked the idea. I've been toying with the idea that maybe Timmy wanted his daughter close after his wife passed. But I've also thought that maybe it's just something he's always preferred to do, since he was so lonely in his childhood (especially since he doesn't remember Coswan or Peri) and doesn't want the same for his daughter, since she is also an only child. Please note: I am not an only child, I have no idea how only-childs behave. 🙃 But being home, losing a parent, and not really having any friends just seems really lonely.

This next section may have little itty-bitty spoilers. If you don't want to read, please skip down to 3. ············································ Continuing the school subject, Talie may have gone to public school at one point. Perhaps something between Pre-K through 1st or 2nd grade? I think once Timmy heals from the loss of his wife, he might be comfortable with letting Talie go to school with Hazel and her friends. By that point, he would probably be friends with Hazel's parents. I like to think of him as this chill, laid-back kind of guy (when he isn't mourning or stressed) who just goes with the flow. He's very protective of his daughter 🩷 ············································

I think Timmy struggles with the subject that Talie really likes. So she ends up being the one helping him through it 😆 However, he does help her with her English and History homework easily (partially since he is a comic book author and I secretly think he's a huge history buff). Additionally, I think he would try to make these subjects fun for Talie since they don't appeal to her as much as Math and Science do.

Soon 🤫 Seriously, very soon.

Hopefully! I really wanna see Talie come out of her shell a little bit and figure out how Hazel might interact with someone who seems sensitive to sounds and loud noises. Hazel is a very spontaneous, chaotic individual, and I love her for it! But I want to see how she is when she has to be calm and a little bit quieter for others, since it doesn't seem we get a whole lot of that from the show.

I Will Always Be There by Isabel3710 - ao3, 33k words - G

When Clay hears that his Grandmother has been eaten he rushes back to the Troll Tree to take care of his youngest brother, Branch.

Not only would I, but I actually have two ongoing right now! Secret Identity, where Patton the mild-mannered reporter is kidnapped by super villains trying to discover the identity of the winged hero The Guardian Angel, and the Sanders Sides Marvel AU, a Sanders Sides/MCU crossover where Thomas Sanders is recruited to the Avengers Inititative due to his ability to manifest aspects of his personality into the physical world. 

Ahh. It feels so good to get this ask again.

Abso-freaking-lutely, you can be.
