people in fanfiction are so good at identifying v specific smells. I literally struggle to identify vanilla when I’m sniffing a candle labelled “VANILLA” how are these kids getting woodsmoke, rain, mint, and a whiff of byronic despair from a fuckin tshirt
I’ve always wondered why Disney chose the name Periwinkle for Tinkerbell’s sister, since periwinkles are tipically summer flowers, and today, as I watched Secret of the Wings for the umpteenth time, I came up with this theory:
Do y’all remember Queen Clarion and Lord Milori? A summer fairy loved a winter one, who crossed the border breaking his own wing, and from that day on, summer and winter lived apart, until Tinkerbell and Periwinkle changed that. But what if Lord Milori had crossed the border multiple times before the accident happened?
Just imagine them, walking hand in hand in the sunset in Summer Meadow, until one day Milori sees some periwinkle flowers and stoops to pick one of them up. After turning it in his hands, he gives it to Clarion, saying it isn’t nearly as beautiful as her; Clarion is touched by the gesture, and from that day on, Milori picks up periwinkle flowers for Clarion every time he sees her. Time pass, Milori’s wing breaks, and summer and winter get separated.
Now, since in the movie Lord Milori seemed to rule winter in the same way as Queen Clarion ruled warm seasons, that means it was Lord Milori who gave names to newborn winter fairies, in the same way as Queen Clarion gave names to newborn warm fairies. What if Periwinkle was the first winter fairy born after the accident? (I have this other headcanon that the majority of newborn fairies is of the warm side. Winter fairies are rarer.) What if as soon as he sees her, so fragile and beautiful, she reminds him of his Clarion, and of the flowers he used to give her? Periwinkles.
And so he realizes there’s only one suitable name for that fairy.
Periwinkle.
And so she was named, unknowingly becoming a living memento of Milori’s love story with Clarion.
