Mytho - Blog Posts

Mythos has the worst hair of all of them let's be honest

Dang this is intense

A crossover between Portal and Princess Tutu. This was fun! Maybe clean up later?.....Maybe.

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 :)

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. 

I am majorly impressed by the edits in this video. It's just so pretty!

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!
