faybelle, in the books, does not believe that villains are allowed to be happy. in some ways, maybe she's right. she says: "villains aren't supposed to be [...] happy. we fester, we dwell, we're prone to years of melancholy. you know, proper villain emotions" (fairy's got talent). she keeps herself incredibly busy to the point of overworking herself for one reason or another--head of the cheerleader team, straight-A student, auditioning for the school play, running herself straight into the ground for the sake of making herself miserable and little else. villains, of course, are not allowed to feel things like happiness or glee.
this is an interesting in contrast to the faybelle we get in the show. we see in forest fest that she is bitter over never being invited to places, the tale of two parties displays her insecurity of others favoring people more than her. there is still that level of negative emotion present; but the part where they differ is in show!faybelle's laziness. she sets up a sweatshop to use people's pets to get out of doing detention, she calls up the fairy mafia to get out of cleaning the school. we never see that drive that characterizes her in fairy's got talent, we are just left with her as a character that delights in other people's pain.
book!faybelle is envious, bitter, and uses evil as a tool for success. show!faybelle is envious, bitter, but her use of evil is something that seems to bring her genuine joy, and her sadistic and unempathic role in the story is interesting in contrast to the more "human" take on her in the books. which one do you prefer?

its snowing and im forced to stand outside for 15 minutes so im converting this eternal hell of a finnish winter into bribelle thoughts;;
briar LOVES winter and during epic winter shes just. mesmerized by the snow (not that she hasn’t seen it before, shes literally friends with crystal). then at some point she kinda stays behind from the rest of the group to simply take it in because she wouldn’t be able to experience it for a hundred years
now faybelle, the observant (insanely gay for briar) person she is, notices her wandering behind and slows down to her pace. she doesnt say anything or do anything, but just,, walks with briar.
it’s a show of affection in their way. they don’t need to be all over eachother or down eachothers throats to show that they care. it’s whats so special about their messed up ”toxic” relationship
im sorry this lowkey doesnt make sense im actually freezing my ass off and had to type this for 10 minutes because i can’t feel my fingers lol
