My Mother Read Me A Thing From Mark Lowry, And In It It Talks About How God Spoke The World In To Being,
My mother read me a thing from Mark Lowry, and in it it talks about how God spoke the world in to being, but with man, he actually “got His hands dirty” and breathed life into him, and the way he described it was that the “breathing life” was a kiss. Now when I thought of it, I always imagined God breathing life like one would blow out birthday candles. But I never imagined the act of creating life to be so intimate, more akin to resuscitation than to detached dust blowing. Is that what actually happened? Idk, I’ll probably know after I die, but it just makes so much more sense to me than my previous interpretation, and it makes me happy.

3 Princess Tutu Headcannons
Mytho Used to be Blonde
In episode 5 we see a picture of an old man telling a boy (that we can assume to be Mytho because the print on the previous page mentions "the Prince" talking to an old man) about Princess Tutu. In the picture, the boy's hair is colored a faint yellow.
Also, if we look at Mythos eyebrows (yes, I am referencing his eyebrows) we can see that they appear to be a very pale brown.
Mytho 's hair was probably blonde ( maybe turned sandy brown as he grew up), and then after fighting decades with the raven, his hair turned white from old age. even though he never grew older in any other way.
Drosselmeyer Used to be Married to a Ballerina
Drosselmeyer had children; therefore, we'll assume that he was married. His wife died before him, and he was devastated. To help cope with the sadness, he started writing the "Prinz und Raben" and had used ballet in the story to honor her.
Duck is a Duckling and Not Native to Germany
Most (if not all) ducks, that start off yellow, later lose their downy feathers and grow new ones with different colors. Duck probably still has her downy and is therefore still quite young ( either that or it's an artistic choice.)
Also, no duck's native to Germany have pure yellow feathers as ducklings. (that I could find) Likely, Duck was brought in by a foreign family and lost. This would also explain her lack of knowledge of the towns history, and her surprise at seeing Mr. Cat. If she had grown up outside of Kinkan Town, she would not be used to the world warping weirdness of Drosselmeyer's powers.
Anywhoosies, I hope you like my headcanons and a good day everyone!

I initially just wanted to draw cuddly Ravio but things spiraled out of control into some sort of limited palette exercise

2 Things I Appreciate about Princess TuTu
1. It's Respect towards Ballet
Barring that first episode, the main focus of the ballet is not as a gimmick.
Dance is an art form and a style of communication. As my theatre teacher once said, "When words aren't enough, you sing. When singing isn't enough, you dance. And when dancing isn't enough, you sing and dance together."
Throughout the show, the "fight scenes" are a "war" of ideas, and ballet is used as a conduit and punctuation for said ideas.
The ballet is used for expression, and while magical elements do occur (for example, Tutu dancing on top of water, or practically flying, or growing plants instantaneously. (which isn't totally uncalled for given that it's taking place inside a story)) the ballet puts the characters thoughts, feelings, and beliefs center stage.
2. The Character Development
Okay, confession time.
When I was first watching Princess Tutu, THIS guy made me really upset. I stuck around for a few episodes because I wanted to see Duck and Mytho end up together, but THIS GUY. EUUUGH......
I didn't hate him (To quote Swoozie, "My gang would never let me be a hater"), but I did dislike him to an extreme degree. Like, I loathed him. So I just quit watching the show and decided that I would look at some fanart to satisfy my desire for Mytho/Duck cuteness, except.......
All y'alls just had Fakir/Duck drawings everywhere, and to be honest, I thought you guys were crazy.
So I just swore off Princess Tutu, until one day I decided to give it another go.
And let me tell you....
I was not disappointed.
All four of the main characters grow in some way or another. THAT guy pictured above, went from being my most disliked fictional character to my most favorite fictional character.
The Heroine grows
The Villain-ess grows
The Jerk grows
The Prince grows
And all in ways that, to me, felt very satisfying and natural. I may be remembering this show through rose tinted glasses, but these characters were very human.
Even if one of them was technically a duck.
