Fakir's Hair - Blog Posts

3 More Princess Tutu Head Cannons!

Cause what else am I supposed to do with my time?

1. The Final Heart Shard is not one of Mytho's emotions

Okay, this one will take a bit of backtracking.

In the story of the "Prinze und Raben" the knight is killed by the raven. When Fakir takes over the role of the knight, the events of the story are expected to be repeated; therefore, he is fated to die. Likewise, Princess Tutu confessed her love and vanished into a speck of light in the story, so when she shows up again, she is expected to repeat history.

You still with me? Okay good.

Fakir was told that he was the reincarnation of Mytho's protector, and that's how Drosselmeyer brought the role of the knight back into the story. But what about Tutu? Tutu vanished, but Drosselmeyer didn't try to convince Duck that she was a reincarnation. Instead, he gave a piece of Mytho's heart. Why?? Can a shard of emotion from the Prince turn her into a different person?

Maybe. But What if....Whaaat if, when Princess Tutu had confessed her love to Mytho in the story, he had absorbed her essence? What if Tutu had confessed on purpose so that she could give her power to Mytho? What if she became apart of his heart so that he could better fight against the Raven?

Also, remember that Mytho can only use his pink petal powers of awesomeness after Duck returns the final shard. The same powers that Tutu can be seen using in the first episode.

I propose that the heart shard Duck possesses can turn her into Princess Tutu because it was originally of Princess Tutu.

2. Rue doesn't know how to write.

(Whoops, Headlessknight totally debunked this one! Brought up the fact that Rue can be seen reading, and writes an essay so...my bad)

This one only really matters if you also subscribe to the head cannon that Fakir and Rue are siblings (and therefore Rue has story spinner abilities), which is explained and supported very well right here --->http://princesstutu.livejournal.com/209541.html

So! What do you do when you're trying to prevent your decedents from developing their reality warping writing powers and derailing your control over Kinkan town? Why, you traumatize one of them, and then (because you're a magnificently creative jerk) you prevent the other one from ever learning how to write in the first place!

Rue was kidnapped at a young age. Its highly unlikely that the Raven would have wanted to teach her how to read or write. In fact, the opposite is much more plausible. Preventing Rue from learning how to read and write would handicap her compared to the other children, and would undermine her self confidence. The Raven would likely use it as a way of holding power over Rue.

Even if she was taught how to write at Kinkan's school, she was primarily there for ballet, and I don't imagine any of her classes would foster the flames of creative writing. (Granted, I don't know this for sure... Can anyone elaborate on what the education of a dance academy in Germany would be like???)

3. Duck uses Fakir's hair as a nest/pillow.

Fakir's hair is super-duper fluffy; therefore, after the story has ended, Duck uses Fakir's hair as a nest and later pillow.

This head cannon has no rhyme or reason. I just like the idea of it.

 Anywho, Thanks Guys and TTFN til next time :)
