So, You're Studying The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known...

Summary:

Although Timmy can be oblivious (often selfish), he really does have a heart of gold. At his core, he’s incredibly kind. His first instinct is to defend himself since he doesn’t trust easily, but he’s also a sensitive child who tries to do the right thing… even if it means he doesn’t get exactly what he wants.

A collection of character studies, bios, and meta essays for my Fairly OddParents 'fics, covering subjects like histories, personalities, relationships, character trivia, a typical day in the life, and family trees.

Notes:

These works were created out of love for The Fairly OddParents. Links within this AO3 work will take you to relevant Tumblr posts (either from my main blog or my FOP worldbuilding sideblog).

I'm copying my character studies to AO3 to ensure back-ups exist and so people can read them here if they prefer. I do not make money off my fanfics, meta essays, these characters, or my blogs.

Updates Mondays, unless it doesn't 💚

Occupation: 5th grade school teacher, but draws comics on the side (Unpaid). He’s excessively familiar with the material and tries to be as passionate about teaching it as possible. A bit eccentric and try-hard, but many students enjoy him. At his core, he tries not to be boring.

Other Employment: Pencil Nexus (“The Boss of Me”), delivered pizzas throughout his teenage years

Does art commissions on rare occasion, but mostly for his friends. Loves drawing with his kids.

In his younger years, Catman offered to help him network in the acting world. He’s perfectly fine saying no, but he could likely get his foot in the door.

Considering law school, but sees it as a fantasy (knowing he lacks the patience). Can’t shake the feeling he got involved with some job shadow with Catman as a kid...

History: Smothered in his childhood by a helicopter dad who filmed his life until age 8. Tortured for several years by his over-the-top babysitter, Vicky.

Timmy received Cosmo and Wanda as godparents at age 9 and later wished for them to have a baby named Poof. The joined him in many wacky adventures, helped him through school with a fairy-hunting teacher, and watched him save the world a time or 12.

Timmy’s godfamily remained with him for years (especially since Timmy secretly froze time for 50) before they finally parted ways a few months before Timmy turned 18. This left Timmy with memories of an imaginative childhood and encouraged him to get into writing fantasy novels and playing tabletop RPGs.

 

Personality: Timmy has always been an emotionally cautious kid. As a young child he was able to make a few friends, but after years of disappointment, secrets, and betrayal, he’s been wary of allowing new people close to his heart. Timmy has a very gentle view of the world and that’s been used against him in the past (by Remy in particular). He’s guided by his heart more than his head.

Introverted and a little shy, he often hesitates to initiate conversation. That said, he isn’t afraid of asking for help when he needs it. Until he was 8, Timmy was raised to have impeccable manners. He’s still quick to say “Please” and “Thank You” and tries to respect his elders... sometimes. Although cautious to share his feelings, he values the intimacy of being with someone you can trust completely, leading to his desperation to have a girlfriend.

Although Timmy can be oblivious (often selfish), he really does have a heart of gold. At his core, he’s incredibly kind. His first instinct is to defend himself since he doesn’t trust easily, but he’s also a sensitive child who tries to do the right thing... even if it means he doesn’t get exactly what he wants. He has a sassy tongue and a strong sense of shame; he’s much more likely than, say, H.P. to lie awake in bed thinking over his words and wondering if he should apologize for them. Prone to night terrors and sleep-wishing, especially when he feels guilty.

Timmy is very curious and likes to explore, but he requires high stimulation. He likes adventure, action, danger, and intense emotions. He knows what he wants and how to get it (which of course has resulted in him having little patience). Although he causes problems almost as often as he fixes them and he has a habit of shoving himself into other people’s business, he doesn’t want to hurt people (but will defend himself and his friends if it comes to it).

Timmy has a tendency to commit fundamental attribution error (i.e. perceiving actions as a result of personality, regardless of situation). He tends to back away from those he considers problematic and hesitates to give someone a second chance... but if he feels you’re willing to change, he’ll extend the hand of friendship- Befriending Mark is the most notable example of this, or his tentative willingness to forgive Vicky in “Snow Bound.”

As of “The Switch Glitch,” he’s tried to take a “Kill ‘em with kindness” attitude and not retaliate just because he has the power to. He isn’t the type to actively seek revenge... though he might read your diary and tuck away the info he finds for a rainy day.

He’s incredibly imaginative and clever. Despite his impulsive play habits and sometimes thoughtless wishing, he’s very good at strategizing- he creates detailed, oft complex plans (e.g. “Fairly Odd Baby,” “Fairly Oddlympics,” “Wishing Well,” “Cheese and Crockers,” “Shelf Life,” etc.) and pulls loopholes around when he can (e.g. “Wish Fixers,” “The Five Days of F.L.A.R.G.”). He also plans ahead out of paranoia that someone will sneak up on him (“Most Wanted Wish,” “Escape From Unwish Island”).

Deep down, Timmy knows he’s become reliant on his fairies and would like to develop better life skills... but he’s also become so accustomed to them, he has a hard time imagining what life would be like without.

 

Education: Attended school in Dimmsdale and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the basic subjects his classes covered during the frozen timestream.

Knows an extreme amount of random trivia like world capitals after decades of pop quizzes. Can tell you which countries border other countries, but struggles to identify them on a map.

 

Elementary School: Attended Dimmsdale Elementary and is extremely familiar with its layout and teachers.

 

Middle School: Thanks to his 50 years of repeated elementary education, Timmy was mostly prepared for middle school. He performed well in world history, science, and English, though new topics in math tripped him up. His biggest struggle was lack of motivation.

 

High School: Tim played on his high school soccer team, which helped motivate him to keep his grades up. After decades of familiar information, learning new material proved a struggle. Frequently comparing himself to Chloe and A.J. didn’t help.

Procrastination became a constant problem, leading to him staying up late and often falling asleep at his desk.

 

Further Education: Briefly attended community college before dropping out to care for Tammy and Tommy. On one hand he’s not planning to return since he doesn’t like school anyway... on the other he’d kind of like to finish what he started.

EXTERNAL

Verbal Notes: Says “Hey!” and “Guys!” often; “Aaah!” is also common in his vocabulary. Constantly gives people nicknames, though he usually keeps them to himself (Cosmo and Wanda don’t know he thinks of them as Mr. and Mrs. Literal). Chloe is one of the few he calls nicknames out loud.

Timmy’s natural inclination is to say “Please” and “Thank you.” He often says what he thinks without realizing he might hurt his friends’ feelings, and that sass can ruffle feathers.

Despite this, he can be a bit of a smooth talker at times, especially when flirting. Timmy and Molly bonded over both being direct, blunt people (although this caused their relationship to suffer in the long run). Timmy’s charming gestures of affection and flirtation skill have won him girlfriends even if he is a little sassy around the edges.

 

Language: Speaks English fluently, took several years of Italian in school.

 

Physical Notes: Timmy has always been short for his age and wasn’t well-muscled in his youth. He mostly ran, played soccer, and swam for exercise. After dropping out of school to raise Tammy and Tommy, Timmy devotes more time to working out. He’s more muscular as an adult than he expected to be as a kid.

Handedness: Somewhat ambidextrous; favors left hand

Body Language: Often talks with his hands in his pockets, leaning back on his heels or adjusting his weight to one side. Has a tendency to look up while he’s talking. Quick to wave his hands to grab attention. Almost always makes gestures with both, not just one. Prone to twitches and is rather jumpy. As a young adult he often plays with his necklace.

Hair: Soft and scruffy; usually kept short, though he grew it long at ages 15-17 and had a crewcut at age 18

Teeth: Infamous buck teeth

Scars: A few random scars across his body from wishes gone wrong; the one he notices most is a long cut on the back of his right hand, which he picked up around “Abracatastrophe”

Tattoos: Three small shooting stars (Pink, green, and purple) on the inside of his right forearm; match the ones Chloe has on her left arm

 

Style: Casual; doesn’t come off quite like a nerd, but doesn’t come off quite like a jock either. Refuses to lose the necklace no matter how many times he’s teased about it.

Regular Clothing: Usually wears pink, though in later years switches his pink shirt out for a pink jacket. Sometimes ditches it and sticks with the white shirt, though carries the jacket from room to room with him.

Casual Clothing: A plain t-shirt, usually pink or white.

Nightwear: Favors blue striped pajamas. Occasionally wears pink or white ones.

Formal Clothing: Prefers white suits (the fancier the better) with pink accents, though mint green or purple are alt favorites.

 

Height: 5′3″ (Shorter than average)

Hygiene: Excellent oral hygiene; average hygiene where all else is concerned. He rarely brushes his hair. Prefers showering before bed over showering in the morning, especially since he often works out late in the day.

 

Morning Schedule: Timmy wakes up about 7:00 every day, has breakfast, and heads to school or work. Sometimes he’s up even earlier.

 

Typical Day Schedule: When he first dropped out to care for Tammy and Tommy, he didn’t have a job (or consistent schedule) and his day mostly revolved around caring for them.

 

Evening Schedule: Once, Timmy preferred spending afternoons with his godparents and playing video games in the evening.

Since dropping out, he no longer has to do homework and tries to spend time with Tammy and Tommy. Living with his parents has been a blessing in that respect since some evenings they can all play board games together.

 

Sleep Schedule: Stays up late working on homework and only sometimes crawls into bed. Sleeps as late as he can and throws himself together in the morning, leaving just enough time for a cereal breakfast. Living with Molly helped him focus, and she’d usually wake him if he drifted off at his desk.

 

PERSONAL

Timmy’s Family Tree: HERE

Turner + Vladislapov family trees (via GenoPro); click to enlarge
“ - Pappy appeared in the episode “The Good Ol’ Days.” The Vladislapovs appeared in “Timmy Turnip.” Ebeneezer appeared in “Turner Back Time.”
- Timmy’s Aunt Gertrude (“Power Mad”) was...

Relationship Status: Dates and then cohabits with Molly for several years; spends part of his adult life as a single dad. Eventually marries another woman (giving Tammy and Tommy a step-mom) and he fathers another girl

 

Ideal Relationship: Timmy needs to feel loved, appreciated, and important, and wants a partner who isn’t embarrassed to hold hands with him in public, or introduce him as “my boyfriend.”

He’s affectionate. Having someone he can openly flirt with and kiss in front of his friends would be ideal. Timmy likes all kinds of food and would hate to date a picky eater (especially since he loves spontaneous outings).

He has a history of going for girls with long, dark hair.

 

Sexuality: Definitely questioned his identity a lot over the years before concluding he doesn’t want to pin a definitive label on himself and that’s that. He’s very “go with the flow.”

 

Intimate History: Molly was his first “official” girlfriend, and they cohabited for several years in their early adulthood. In that time, they had both Tammy and Tommy. He always remained faithful to Molly and didn’t engage in any one-night stands even after their break-up.

Though out of the dating game for a few years due to being a single dad raising two small kids, he eventually picks himself up again in the hopes of getting married someday.

 

Turn-Ons: Spontaneity. Timmy is a bit of an adrenaline junkie and likes to be kept on his toes- He’s easily bored by predictable dates.

He finds holidays such as Valentine’s Day and anniversaries romantic only so long as they promise an exciting day; if his partner acts like they’re some boring obligation, he’ll be miffed.

Fairy Godfather: Cosmo Julius Cosma

Met June 3rd, 2001

- A godfather Timmy can goof around with! They play a lot of video games, read comics, and chat about love.

 

Fairy Godmother: Wanda Venus Fairywinkle

Met June 3rd, 2001

- A godmother who keeps Timmy on track! He loves her dearly and has gotten into sneaky hijinks with her on many occasion.

 

Fairy Godbrother: Poof Nebula Fairywinkle-Cosma

Met February 18th, “2008”

- Timmy has very positive feelings towards Poof, who loves him too.

 

Godsister: Chloe Carmichael

Met March 1st, 2004

- Timmy and Chloe see one another as step-siblings. Their relationship was rocky in the beginning, but it blooms into a friendly step-sibling-like relationship over the years.

- They’re very close friends from middle school through adulthood, even if they bicker.

 

Dog: Sparky

- Met March 8th, “2053”

- After Timmy parts ways with his fairy godfamily, Sparky remains by his side for many years (albeit under strict orders to keep his mouth shut).

- During Timmy’s teen years, he gets into hunting with Sparky as his faithful companion.

 

Girlfriend: Molly Gwendolyn Oakes

Met June 17th, “2011”

Mother of Tammy and Tommy while they cohabited

 

Endgame Spouse: Presumably Tootie or Trixie, but left up to reader interpretation

Mother of Addy, whom she was pregnant with during the epilogue of “Channel Chasers.”

 

Other Important Relationships: Timmy maintains his friendships with Chester and A.J. into his adult life, and even begins to see Sanjay as a good friend too (particularly after Sanjay marries his cousin Kimmy). Elmer’s in there too, but he’s got his own... thing... going on. Timmy and Remy aren’t particularly close, but they have strong memories of each other due to fairy shenanigans.

Around Season 6, Jorgen, H.P., and Anti-Cosmo took a strong liking to Timmy and competed for his attention in silly and increasingly stressful ways, leading up to “The Fairly Oddlympics.” He’s their neutral party and they think he’s cool (deep down under how annoying they find him in general).

After Timmy got into hunting, he and Chester bonded over this and it became their “guy” activity (with Timmy’s Pappy and Chester’s dad onboard and A.J. sometimes trailing behind with gadgets and a bit more reluctance). Timmy’s also gone hunting with Hadley Harrington and Dale Dimmadome, who both come from families big on hunting.

  • Hadley and Timmy aren’t incredibly close, but they consider each other acquaintances or even friends. Timmy was always unwishing Hadley’s wishes in his younger years since she didn’t care to do so herself, even if they led to chaos.

He mocks Crocker on occasion, but after parting ways with his fairies, sees him more as a quirky teacher than a threat, and ends up on average friendly terms with him.

Timmy eventually makes his peace with Vicky, even attending Doidle’s funeral (“Bones”). He maintains a fond friendship with Mark, although sees him less and less as they grow older. He also befriends Kevin over time, especially once he begins dating Molly since Kevin and Molly are step-siblings.

Timmy dates both Trixie and Tootie at different points during his adult years following his break-up with Molly (Along the Cherry Lane) and presumably marries one of them in the end. Or maybe he marries Veronica; who knows?

 

TRIVIA

- He lives at 1010 Cobbler Street. Chloe lives at 1011.

- His favorite sport is soccer, which he’s played since he was 7; he continues playing in high school.

- His relationship with his parents improved a lot once he was old enough to attend events with them. As an adult, he often watches movies and plays board games once his kids are in bed.

- He’s a scrapbook keeper (“Abracatastrophe” and “Imaginary Gary”).

- During his teen years, he taught himself a lot of sleight-of-hand magic tricks and is pretty skilled at them.

- He’s allergic to sauerkraut (“The Fairy Flu”) and oranges (“A Bad Case of Diary-Uh”).

- His aunt Gertrude (“Power Mad”) is actually his great aunt (“77 Secrets of ‘The Fairly OddParents Revealed’”).

- His childhood phone number is (323)-555-9597 (“Boys In the Band” along with the assumption that Dimmsdale shares Hollywood’s area code in reference to the Dimmsdale sign on the hill).

- His childhood locker number is 110 (“Power Pals”).

- His Squirrely Scout troop is Troop 13 (“Girly Squirrely”).

- The license plate on the Turner station wagon says RO32TH (“Mooooving Day”).

- Incredibly proud of his perfect attendance streak (“Timvisible”). Deep down, he does care about school and hard work... He just also lives in a world where he wasn’t making progress for 50 years and neither his parents nor teacher respected or congratulated his efforts.

- His secret talent is stunning his 5th grade students with his rapid yet detailed whiteboard drawings. Loves using his art as a teaching aid. His classroom is full of posters he and Molly designed.

- Due to spending so much time with his godparents, Timmy has picked up a few of their magical immunities, like being more resistant to pain than non-godkids. For example:

He’s more acrobatic than average (and much more difficult to kill).

He can’t get paper cuts, stub his toe, slam his funny bone, and it doesn’t hurt if you yank his hair.

When he’s itchy, he has to scratch his skin much harder than normal in order to find relief.
