GLOOMIX TIME

(lore and symbolism under the cut)

This jewelry was crafted centuries ago during Valtor's rampage. Under threat of violence, he forced artisans to create the the pieces in the interest of gifting them to the Ancestral Witches after his total victory over the world of Magix.

When his defeat finally came, they were seized by authorities and eventually ended up in the Archives of the Wizards of the Black Circle on Earth. There they sat for ages collecting dust.

After betraying his fellow Wizards to aid them in their quest to free Valtor, Gantlos offered them to the Trix as a thank you gift. This would be a decision he would come to sorely regret...

ICY

Gem:

Opal - Truth, Wealth, Inner Fire

Placement:

Chest and Abdomen - Brutality, Internalization of Goals, Determination Even at One's Own Detriment, Leadership, Promises

Insignia:

Icy's initial can be found on her bracelets, showing how she is controlled by her identity. Her life is ruled by the expectations set on her by others... and by herself.

DARCY

Gem:

Amethyst - Mental Clarity, Healing, Dispel Negativity

Placement:

Head and Neck - Manipulation, Communication, Mind and Body, Psychic Attacks and Psychological Warfare, Cleverness

Insignia:

Darcy's initial is somewhat hidden in her belt, while still being front and center. Though she puts her depravity on display, others still can't help but be charmed by her... despite their better judgement.

STORMY

Gem:

Ruby - Passion, Love, Protection in Battle

Placement:

Stomach and Hips - Energy, Intuition, Legacy and Lineage, Connection with Female Ancestry, Fear and Joy, Wisdom

Insignia:

Stormy's initial literally holds part of her outfit together. She grew up with appreciation and pride for witches, and her reverence outweighs the uneasiness she once felt about their actions.

Trix gloomix

It’s not a lot for this one but I’m just doing some witch transformations right now so

Gloomix isn’t a real transformation it’s more like a booster. Darkar gives the trix sparks of his shadow flame and binds it to their bodies making them his minions sorta like a dark bloomix and also giving the trix power levels closer to a enchantix fairy level (so they can wipe the winx out) lol

Since the designs don’t change the outfits only the color change to black to give the colors more contrast

[charmixpower]

You know, for a couple of days there I was wondering if that was a Nick game or not. When I saw that it was I was like “did Gloomix even exist in the Nick continuity?” Turns out that yes it does but that was a really concerning 2-3 days there for me.

I CAN IMAGINE GLOOMY

[floralovebot]

some things that really stood out to me!

detailed blueprint of alfea!

I WAS GIFTED THE WINX CONCEPT ART BOOK IM GONNA AAAUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH

[enchantedbat]

We, as a society, moved far too fast on from the Mega Trix form. I personally think they didn't need the Gloomix for it but they never attempted to fuse as whole trio.

Like Darcy just found some ancient spell and Griffin said "no", so she knew they had to try it out. She would practice with Stormy first and then fusion and it's awesome. Then Icy joins. Or the other way around.

"Why didn't they use it against the Winx?" - It could be highly unstable. However, when they find out the Winx can do perfect convergence spells, they for sure worked on it. Or it's like a final ace up their sleeve. They used it against Dakar and just imagine Valtor's face, when he gives them the Disenchantix and they fuse!

Their little Fusionix or Mergix. Amalgix´? Amalgamatix?

Bonus if they have to do a little dancey dance like in Steven Universe.

winx worlbuilding - fae forms

winx - achieved by connecting to the positive aspects of one’s magical core, it’s the basic fairy form, grants wings and improved magical prowess

jinx - achieved by connecting to the negative aspects of one’s magical core, it’s the basic witch form, grants flight and improved magical prowess

charmix - fairy form earned through overcoming internal struggle, it is very personal and different per person, comes with a vial of regenerative fairy dust that can be used to rejuvenate the user’s magical and physical energy

gloomix - witch form earned through accepting internal conflict, comes with a vial of degenerative witch’s brew that can be used to exhaust an opponent's magical and physical energy

enchantix - fairy form earned through selfless sacrifice, depending on the significance to the person, not the grand scheme of things, comes with stronger magic, bigger faster wings and enhanced dust that can also do some minor healing/restoration

disenchantix - witch form earned through standing one’s ground, comes with stronger magic, improved flight capabilities and enhanced witch’s brew that can also be used for minor attacks/degradation

[idiotthatdrawsakaartist]

just wanted to say ur a literal genius and i love your winx club re-write. genuinely obsessed with reading the posts about the lore (discreet way of me begging you to post more lore about the magic system and the magic realm in general 🙏) but anyways, hope ur doing well and once again good job on all the amazing work you do!

Aww thank you so much !! You're way too fuckin sweet ^^ I'm doing pretty good !

Currently trying to figure out how witches work but ig I can share an idea I have so far

I heard one rewrite talk about fairies magic coming inwards and witches outwards. So what if when Witches earn their charmix, they channel the energy that would have transformed them into a wand. Enchantix would turn that wand into an intricate staff ✨️

Don't know if they refer to chamix or Enchantix differently because an enchantix fairy as a sentence flows a lot better than enchanrix witch if you ask me. So maybe instead of of charmix they earn Gloomix like in the og s2, as for enchantix idk yet bc I like the idea of calling it Arcanix bc of the word arcana but that's the name of someone's winx fanfic +fan transformation and I don't feel comfortable just stealing it. Il have to brainstorm a good name :3

Thank you for the kind words , I hope you have a wonderfull day ^^

Basically a bougie Gloomix. Kalshara gives Kyral, Yomi and Kelly a special form to protect them from "evil" witches.

When we're talking about Griffins color change...

Can we please talk about the fact that Darcys color of her casual outfit is light purple too? A outfit she wears in the first season a lot comparing to the other seasons where she only wears the dark purple one (I know she starts to wear it ik seaosn 3 again but after that we never saw it again)? Just like Griffin, she changes from light colors to dark and like Griffin she also stopped wearing her cute glasses (WHY both of them looked so good with their glasses!). It's like both want to stop being associated with that previous version of themselves while they still hold on to that color scheme bc not everything was just bad about it.

Griffin hated what she did but that doesn't changed anything about the feelings she had/has for Valtor and the moments they shared with eachother just for them. And Darcy maybe hated Griffin and everything that had to do with her when she kicked her and sisters out but she cloud tower was for several years still something like a home and maybe one of the safest places she was during her teenager years. Despite the ending I think she has some really good times there. And both hold on to that memories through the colors. Griffin a bit diffrently but still in the same way.

I hear what you're saying and it makes a lot of sense but Darcy's different outfits coexist in the first season. And the lighter civilian outfit vs darker battle outfit is true for Icy too while Stormy's are pretty much the same color which I think is exactly the significance here? Because the Trix were supposed to appear as random if even excessively mean-spirited school bullies in the first season who are then revealed to actually be villainous enough to want to conquer the entire universe and almost succeed. So Darcy and Icy have a lighter color scheme in their civilian outfits because they're putting up a front while Stormy doesn't even bother to do that as she's always a chaotic baby.

Also, their battle outfits are just more practical for... battle in season 2 as that's all they do. They don't have any chill time and they're always on missions when they leave Shadowhaunt. Only time they wear something else is when they're trying to be undercover at Red Fountain in 2x08. Compare that to season 3 where Valtor doesn't always need them and they are more comfortable in their hideouts so they just hang out in their civilian outfits again. (Lmao, "Valtor is a better boss than Darkar" is not the take I expected to emerge from this 😂 (considering all his manipulation of them while Darkar wasn't even trying in that department.))

I'm just analyzing canon here. However, I do think that you're right about Darcy (and the rest of the Trix) holding on to the good times they had in CT and feeling slighted by Griffin expelling them. They are always looking to muscle back in on CT and take control of it away from Griffin. First in season 2 through their Gloomix power-up and then instantly looking to make use of Valtor's unchecked power by having him secure it for all of them. While a big part of this is definitely their egos being hurt by being kicked out by Griffin, I think there's also a part of them that really perceived CT as their safe haven, their fortress. We don't know anything concrete about the treatment witches receive in canon (besides the ton of unfortunate implications) or about the Trix' lives prior to s1 but I think that they truly felt that with all their power and their ancestry, CT should sort of be like their birth right, that they have a claim on it. Which adds very interesting nuances to them as they seem to have gotten attached to it as not just a comfortable and convenient base of operations but as a stable home, implying they've never had that before. There's certainly a lot going on here!

P.S. The glasses were cool and I wish we'd seen more of them by virtue of more flashbacks with Griffin/more downtime for Darcy as I can't see Griffin making them work in her show outfit (they'd have to be redesigned too) and I think they could be a bit of a safety hazard for Darcy in battle.

S2:E10

Favorite screenshots of Darcy & the reasons why

1. Glowy, dark & elegant. The CONTRAST

2. Ooh the gloomix is fun and she looks both happy and also mischievous

3. The side profile. The side eye. The iconic eye make up. Need I say more?

[ghostsprobably]

I watched the video and OMG I LOVED THEM

Especially the symbolism:

Their hands being painted,representing that they're stained with blood,the blood they spilled and the one they intend to spill

Stormy:her letter being on the thigh i think mean that,among the trix,she wss the one who never really thinked about ACTUALLY killing

the stomach is a symbol of self-control and inspiration,but also:sadness,anger,nervourness,fear and joy,some of those i can see that she have or lacks

Her gem was not mencioned,so i assume it would be a ruby or a garnet(espifically a pyrope),but i think garnet makes more sence(ruby have lot of it's meaning being romance and sexuality),garnets symbolize love,friendship,heart,trust and commitment and also:blood,fire and inner-fire,and pyropes symbolize passion,pure heart,gentleness courage and self-confidence,some of those things i can see in Stormy

Darcy:i'm really surewhere her letter is,but i assume is either hidden in the back of her head or in her corset,but in both ways it would bring her illusory powers and nature,the back of the head symbolizes falsehood,that one part of yourself you don't show,if it's on her corset,It's not that easy to see that it's there, it's hidden and also it's close to her hands,showcasing that she was pretty "okay" with the idea of murder and is great manipulator

The face symbolizes prestige,status,reputation,soccial acceptance,good name,honor,respect and diginity,it also have a little symbolism of lies,falsehood and manipulation,thing she definitely want and have,while also reference her mind powers

Amethysts are symbols of deep love,happiness,sincerity,wealth,humility,psychic power and purity,somethings she have,something she lacks and something she have the oppost

Icy:her letter is on her pulse,showcasing that she's the one who is more pre-disposed to kill,and she does in cold blood

Her jewel makes way starting to in neck to close to her stomach,which are the most "killable" parts of the human body(the neck,the lugs,the heart and the stomach),again,showcasing that she doesn't care about murder

Opal is a symbol of hope,purity,truth,prophecy,wealth,most of the main symbolism is finded on her

Sorry for the loooooong text,I got a little carried away (I love symbolism)

I've had this ask for a while bc i wanted to respond in a way that did it justice but i just have to post it bc its so good

I did mean to mention stormy's gem is ruby (oops) but garnet and ruby seem to have pretty close meanings

also darcy's D is turned sideways in her belt! so yeah u were spot on with it being more hidden

[daydreamsia]

Winx Club (seasons 1-3) Rewatch thoughts:

the Trix having Knut work for them was kinda iconic

the Trix are giving boss bitch energy (only season 1)

Riven with Darcy would have been so much better if it would not have been a spell

also, what do you mean - "negative energy like the Prince of Darkness" tell us more! who is this Prince of Darkness?

magic for Riven? he could be Sorcerer of - idk to be honest i have no idea and i have been thinking about that a lot

i'm not a fan of Musa×Riven

Mirta is a baby and needs to be protected

"the witch who turns emotions into pictures"? - sounds like Witch/Fairy of Emotions would have been a better title for her

Diaspro had every right to be offended/feel attacked and defend herself

PUMPKIN

i ship Flora and Mirta

Stella and Brandon are perfect for each other!

the Pixies are kinda annoying but also not

i'm not a fan of Gloomix - would have been more interesting if Darkar gave them a piece of his magic - the Shadow Flame. kinda like Bloomix but also different

OMG Flora and Helia are SO CUTE

but i still prefer my idea of Flora and Mirta

Jared's pictures of Musa gave me serial-killer vibes - photographing her without her knowing and without him knowing her is not romantic!

don't be sad Layla! - they really want to be friends with you

i like Stelas humor a lot

still not into Musa×Riven

what was Darkars Plan again?

Sky had every right to be worried about Bloom, because it felt like she was a little too much into Avalon

the Charmix-bags seem impracticable

Dark Bloom is HOT

MegaTrix are a weird idea but i'm here for it

of course ICY doesn't freece in Omega - is everyone stupid?

hello Valtor

tell me, what are Chimeras powers? Fairy of - i hava no idea what could be fitting

Musa looks good with long hair but the short hair suited her better

Stella and Brandon are still perfect for each other!

Stellas dogs recognizing her made me happy

Diaspro should be over Sky - he's not worth it and she deserves better

Enchantix is giving everything! and i'm not even a fan of the gloves and those "shoes"

what do you mean "final transformation"? there are like X more seasons to come

every other transformation after that should be not as strong as Enchantix - except for the part they need them for, that part can be stronger

Tecna saves the day - we stan her!

still not a fan of Musa×Riven

but Tecna and Timmy are the cutest!

and i'm slowly falling in love with Musa×Layla

Diaspro as a fourth Trix, huh? i'm into that idea! but i also like that she is an "evil" fairy

why are the Trix so into Valtor? like one of them would be ok. but all three of them being into a guy that much older than them...

lol, GIGANTIC Pixies

why are they only worried about Bloom when Tecna is still in Omega?

of course Bloom gets her Enchantix through pure force of will *eyeroll*

redesign idea for "incomplete Enchantix": the Magic Winx wings  instead of the Enchantix ones and the Charmix brooch instead of the fairy dust bottle(?) - it should be visible that something's off about her Enchantix

Timmy is the cutest!

of course Bloom and Sky find Tecna right after arriving *eyeroll*

GIANT ICE SNAKE

Ophir - stop stalking!

i would have preferred Layla and Nabu as friends

i'd still be here for Musa×Layla and don't care a second about Musa×Riven

since when are the Trix so useless? are they really only thinking about Valtor? embarassing

Bollm: STAY AWAY FROM THE WATERSTARS!

why did she even get one? it should have been either only Stella, Musa and Tecna each have one or Flora and Layla should have gone through the labyrinth too - but definitely no waterstar for Bloom!

why did he give them "Disenchantix" that late and why are they only like bikinis?

why is Icy head over heels into Monster!Valtor?

the Trix abandoning Valtor should have happened way earlier

final thoughts: Winx Club could have ended after season 3 (maybe after the movie would have been okay too) and i would be completely fine with it. maybe add a spin-off after that. about the Earth Fairies, Fairy Hunters, Roxy and Selina. But now i'm only talking about my au again - sorry!

i don't know if i will watch season 4, but i will at least start it after rewatching the movie.

[charmixpower]

The Trix just????? Give???? Themselves a transformation?????? And are dramatic ass hoes about it

They don't have to earn it, or do anything except decide they have it. I think this is peek giving up on the Trix as actual characters, they're like the villain versions of the specialists now gnendns

And I thought Gloomix and Disenchatix was lame and unearned fmnssjsjsnnw they get given ALL their transformations and when they're the main villains they can't even do anything interesting to get a new transformation

Bitching aside these outfits fucking fuck

I mean look at this??? Icy's hair is a flop and that's the only L going on here. I wish they all had different sleeves but like Mythix is in this season nfnsjdjdsmms

First dark Sirenix and then this, infinite slay

Icy looks GOOD, I love how she gets the skirt, and the leather belts, and corset!! Looks awesome. She keeps the knee high boots but they feel so different

While s1~3 Stormy was more of the spend way too much on nails and clothes, and Darcy was more of a lazy baddie, I love Stormy's chill cozy outfit

She looks like she threw a stylish belt heels and crop top over her sleep onesie and it looks GREAT. The heels look the best on her, she looks like she's about to kick someone's nose in

I will always be a short hair Darcy Stan, but Darcy with the high ponytail DOES hit I'm not even gonna lie. Her top is the coolest, it looks so badass, and I love her boots

Classic Trix W

[princess-of-the-corner]

winx rewrite: do other characters earn enchantix other than the main six (like diaspro riven mirta darcy etc)?

Mm! Enchantix is the basic form that Faeries will end up getting pretty much eventually as long as they train up and use their Magic often.

Diaspro, Mirta and Riven would get Enchantix a little after the main Winx do because they start training their Faerie Magic later. Diaspro and Mirta both start at Alfea in Season 2, so they'd be third years trying to earn their Enchantix in Season 4(though theirs would be sideplots).

Riven isn't initially as intent on trying to gain and master his Magic. Between some past trauma and just that he's much more of a weapon guy, it's not a priority. He wants to learn some Magic because 1.) good to have on hand and 2.) healing from trauma so he's more comfortable doing so. Given the changes I made, it's still possible for him to progress to Enchantix accidentally, but it probably wouldn't be until late season 4 at the earliest.

However, he'd be much more interested when they learn about Harmonix, which within my AU is a Faerie Form designed for combat specifically. So he might push to get that one.

And for Darcy!

So!

As Faeries and Witches are both the same thing, two sides of the same coin, they both have different forms that parallel each other. In Canon there were a few upgrades that only the Trix got, so I'm yoinking the names to give to all Witches as transformation counterparts. So Charmix = Gloomix, Enchantix = Disenchantix, so on and so forth.

In Season 1, the Trix are third year students and as such already have Gloomix and are working on Disenchantix. As they work on themselves and get dragged to the good side, they end up earning Disenchantix.

Darcy is first at the end of Season 1. Saying that while she is ambitious and power hungry, she has to draw the line somewhere. She's going to get what she wants on her own terms, not by stealing someone's Magic and killing the competition.
