Hopeful Wrath Part 2: Soul of Justice

*kiko stood there by the beach side of Heaven, looking off into the distance in silence. He waited for the arrival of his opponent. Speaking of said person, the person in question lands some feet away from him.*

Michael: ".......Kiko."

"So you've arrived, 'angel of justice'."

Michael: "Of course. I can't allow someone as dangerous as you run wild in Heaven."

"You're one to talk. You, sitting ideally by as your exorcists slaughter sinners without even trying to redeem them in anyway."

Michael: "So that's your reason for crippling the entire exorcist army. You got a lot of nerve doing something so sinful."

"You're one to talk about sins, angel of justice. Abandoning your brother, turning a blind eye to the suffering of humans, allowing the slaughtering of thousands of sinners that aren't even given the chance to redeem themselves."

Michael: "What do you know? You're not even from here! What would an outsider of our world know about how things works around here?"

".....Your niece is down there, She's trying to help the sinners find redemption. I heard that the first human, Adam, tried to kill her and the hotel she built to make that dream a reality." *Michael's eye twitched.* "Do you feel nothing towards your own family?"

Michael: "That is out of my hands, kid. I'm not responsible for the actions of either Lucifer or his children. My duties focus on the wellbeing of the citizens of heaven. As for what happened to Adam, he got what was coming to him. He's been living off Sera's good will for far too long. He's become conceded into thinking he could do whatever he wanted without consequences. His own recklessness is what caused his end."

"Is that how you angels feel towards all humans?"

Michael: "Let me ask you a question then, Kiko. Why are you trying to defend those who's committed great atrocities? Why side with the side of sin? Why protect demons?"

"Why? Because that is my sole duty as the Exceptional Hope." *kiko draws his sword and raises it.*

*The rapier shimmers in the light.*

"Gaze upon this slim blade in my hand. Look up how the light shimmers off the edges and the tip. So white. So clean. So pristine. At a distant glance, it would be easy to assume that this blade was never used. Just there for appearance. But this sword has been used. It has spilt the blood of millions of monsters and other living beings. And I've hated every second of it. I hate violence. I hate the idea of killing others for any reason." *he lowers his sword and looks down at it. His face softens into a melancholic one.*

"I've always tried to see the good in others. I've always tried to help as many people as I could. Tried to find the most peaceful solution possible to prevent the worst possible outcomes. I know that killing and death is unavoidable when it comes to war. I know that not everyone can be truly reasoned with. And yet, I can't help but try to hold out hope for them. Hold out hope that things aren't too late. That I can get them to change their ways. I've seen people that were once good turn bad and bad people turn good. Not everything is set in stone. And those sinners......I know that they've committed some serious crimes. And yet, I've seen some of them maintain their humanity, showing sympathy for others, showing kindness to those less fortunate than themselves. It's sights like that the renews my faith in humanity. It shows me that no matter the situation, there are those that aren't truly heartless. That there are people that can be saved. And yet, at the same time, they always say that the path to evil is always paved with good intentions. There were once great heroes that did everything they could to save the world, only to become it's enemy. The reasons vary, but it's cruel truth I've always been aware of. It's why my duty is both a join and painful to me. Because in order to protect the hopes of others, I'll need to crush the hopes of the foe that stands before me. I can't protect everyone's hopes and dreams." *he closes his eyes, silently mourning for those he had lost or cut down to protect the innocent.*

"But I won't stop trying. If there is a chance, no matter how slim or small, I will take it. Because if I don't, then it'll mean I've given up on humanity. I will never lose my hope in humanity. That is why I defend the sinners, because I see a chance of redemption within them. It is why I attacked your exorcists, for failing to see that faint light in them and refusing to look further. Too blinded by their sick idea of a game and their own sadistic pleasures. And then there's you and your council that would dare be ok with this vile act. You didn't even give the sinners a chance. it's that very evil i cannot allow. If sinners are to be judged for their evils, then so must you angels. I do not care if my soul is damned forever. I will fight to protect Hell's hope with all I have!"

Michael: ".......So be it." *Michael draws his sword and shield.* "You're a good person, Kiko. I can see that in your eyes and I can hear it in your voice....I'm truly sorry, but my home and my people come first. I must uphold my duties as the seraphim of justice. Therefore, I must stop you! In the name of the High Angel Council and the Holy Lord, I will strike you down!" *Michael gets into a fighting stance, reading to charge at Kiko who gets into a defensive fighting stance.*

"Know this, Michael. I find no joy in doing this."

Michael: "Likewise." *His wings flex as he charges at Kiko, swinging his sword at him. Kiko blocks it and tries to counter, only to be parried by Michael's shield. Micheal bashes the shield into Kiko, pushing him back. Kiko recovers in time to dodge out the way of a downward slash from Michael. Michael blocks another one of Kiko's counters.* "Don't take me lightly, Kiko. I'm not a pushover like those exorcists. I actually train properly and seriously."

"I've noticed." *The two continue to go at each other, soon taking flight and continuing their battle in the air. The two flew at each other, clashing their weapons, strike after strike. Michael starts firing rays of holy light at Kiko who starts dodging out of the way. One of them catches Kiko by surprise, knocking him towards the ground. Michael raises his sword in the air, generating more balls of light that fires upon Kiko, who dodges out of the way while trying to find a way to close the distance between them. Thinking on the fly, a green wind like aura surges into Kiko's leg. He kicks up a massive cloud of sand, obscuring Michael's vision in the process. He uses his wings to blow away as much of the sand possible while trying to spot Kiko.*

Michael: "Where did he go!?" *Just then, Kiko reappears before him and kicks him in the face, blowing him away. Kiko chases after him, landing more and more blows on him at a speed beyond what Michael could keep up with. Michael is finally able to block one of Kiko's attacks, but his shield gets knocked away. In that moment, Michael goes for it and stabs Kiko right in his heart. Kiko coughs up blood as Michael thrusts his sword deeper into Kiko's chest and throws him into the sea. Michael carefully lands on the beach, trembling.* "......Damn.....He messed me up.....That speed.....That power......He may not be a seraphim, but he certainly had the power to rival one." *Michael started to walk away, not noticing the water starts to bubble as a bright light starts to shine from it.*

[Song playing: Under Heaven Destruction]

*And then, a massive eruption bursts out of the Heavenly sea, shocking Michael as he gazes up at the rising Ilirhian. Kiko's wings were shining radiantly, his aura emitted a feeling of relaxation and safety, and his eyes were glowing white with determination and unwavering resiliense. He pulls out the sword from his chest, dropping it as his wound heals itself.* "Y-You.....!"

"Come, Angel.....Show me the extent of your Justice." *Michael grits his teeth. He flies at Kiko and starts fighting him at full power. The two holy beings were no longer holding back, throw blow after blow at each other. Their clash starts sending shock waves throughout Heaven, alerting some of the citizens to their battle. They see the battle taking place in the far off distance, meaning they don't see who's fighting nor know why. But it sends a worrying chill down not just their spines, but also the spines of the council members while they can only watch the battle unfold from a far distance. As the battle raged on, some of the citizens starts to notice something bizzare happening. In the distance, A giant angelic woman rises from the clouds, sprouting her wings and extending her arms wide. The angel slowly start to wrap her arms and wings around all of Heaven, slowly generating a barrier around it all. This is soon noticed by the battle weary Michael.*

Michael: "(A barrier?.........Why.....Is this Kiko's doing? But why....? He's not really......The crafty bastard! I can't believe he's actually going that far for Hell! Kiko.....You truly are the most selfless being I've ever met in my entire life.)" *The two punches each other hard in their guts. Both of them starts to bleed out of their mouths.* "(if only......I wasn't so foolishly stupid.....to get on your bad side.)" *the two backs away from each other, staggered by each other's attacks. Both of them were breathing heavily, struggling to catch their breaths.*

"I know.....that you're not done yet.......Is this really.....the extent of your so called Justice.......? Was that nothing more than empty nonsense......!? Well was it!?!?!" *Michael grits his teeth as he grips his fists tightly.*

"Stand......" *kiko stands back up.* "Stand up and fight for you justice, Michael!!!"

Michael: "RAAAAAAAA!!!" *The two go at it again, throwing Heavy attacks at each other, holding very little back. Michael, the angel of Justice who spent his entire life upholding his sole duty to protect Heaven and uphold the code of Justice. Kiko, the Exceptional Hope of Ilirhia who'd always fight for the hopes of others and would gladly die to protect them. Both fighting hard for their ideals. Both fighting to protect what matters to them. both fighting with everything they have. This battle.....If it were any other situation, they'd be truly close friends. But alas, that would've been more ideal in an ideal world. And so, the two, almost out of steam charges at each other aiming their last punches at each other, aiming for their faces. They launch their last attack at each other.........Michael's punch misses and grazes Kiko's cheek while Kiko punches Michael with everyone he has left, nearly breaking Michael's jaw and skull in the process. Kiko's fighting scream echoes as he sends Michael flying all the way back into the city, causing him to crash through building after building before one of the buildings. Everyone looked at the beaten up angel as he slides down the wall and falls to the floor, completely out cold. The Angel of Justice, Michael, has been defeated as the wings finish covering Heaven, creating an unbreakable barrier that no one can get through. Only the one that made the barrier can disspell it or allow anyone in and out of it. Back with Kiko, he was breathing heavily, slowly taking in what happened...........At the end......Kiko lets out a loud echoing scream. It's not a victory yell. It's more of a scream of pain and sorrow. Tears ran down his cheeks as he continued to scream out in emotional agony. Some time later, some angelic guards find Kiko sitting on the beach in silence. They surround the exceptional hope, pointing their weapons at him.*

Angel Guard: "You're under arrest."

i’m seeing kiko mizuhara around tumblr a lot bc she’s doing photo shoots for heaven by marc jacobs and she’s a good model but she’s insufferable to me lol

i used to follow her work in the 2010s but after seeing her in multiple racist get ups and finding out she dated gdragon (notable racist) i didn’t care for her; flash forward to her hosting queer eye japan and i like the show enough to watch it despite her. she comes off as a #girlboss (already corny atp in time) and like really ignorant despite her progressive window dressing (i have so many queer friends, i’m involved in the queer scene in japan) also why didn’t QE just hire a queer japanese person ??)

specifically what left a bad taste in my mouth was her being like “look at me i dress so weird and i don’t care what others have to say and i’m so happy” to a fat women like she isn’t an internationally recognized model with a completely different life literally because of her perceived beauty lmao what’s even funnier is they have naomi watanabe (plus size celebrity) on for an episode and she was great and the episode seemed to be better for it imo (iirc)

but this is all old news lmao i’m just 🙄 abt kiko and seeing her do cool stuff bc i wish she was a better person lol

Mikado shifted and eventually opened his eyes, his eyes adjusted after a bit, he understood where he was and noticed Kiko.

"...Heaven huh? So... You took me here after all. Why?" He sat up in his bed or at least tried to despite all the new injuries.

*Mikado finally came too, covered in bandages. He hears fighting noises going on nearby. When his eyes finish adjusting, he sees Kiko fighting off violent and rampaging sinners and hellborns. Looks like he needs help.* @nastrond-and-valhalla

Mikado groaned in pain and looked over, seeing what was going on an explosion was set off at the sinners and hellborns, blowing then away from Kiko.

HI IM IN LOVE WITH DEVIL IN A NEW SUIT!!!!! do u think u would add another part or drabbles?? like maybe jk’s ex crawling back back to him and asking for forgiveness or like just another drabble abojt them??? u don’t have to i just wanted to know because i’m OBSESSED W THEM!!!!!

[ read devil in a new suit ]

pairing. jjk x f!reader. rating. explicit. tags. malibu barbie returns, kook is still too nice, reader gets pissed off, and smut in the forms of: light bondage, titty sucking, use of a vibrator, heartfelt declarations of love without the L word. wc. 1.3k. author note. ask and you shall receive, nonnie... also tysm for the kind words!!! i’m so glad you liked it!!

She shows up randomly, weeks later, sitting in the lobby of the apartment building like she belongs there. (She doesn’t.) You wonder, with a sour expression, what Jungkook pays his exorbitant condo fees for - how she’s managed to sneak in when there’s a dedicated concierge meant to keep the riff-raff out.

“Baby!” The blonde is surging to her feet, smoothing down the hem of her dress. It’s an objectively pretty thing, this reflective material that throws her curves into stark relief and looks like it was made for her. Which it probably was, given her spending habits.

She advances quickly - all but throws herself against your partner - and curls her French manicured nails into his fluffy hair. He doesn’t immediately push her away.

What the—

The greeting comes before you can voice your displeasure, far too kind and familiar for your liking. “Hi, Keek.” Luckily - for him, for your twitching palm - he doesn’t return the hug. Simply extracts himself from her arms and throws her that stupid cute smile of his.

You’re five seconds from a nuclear explosion, something straight out of a Hollywood action film.

“It’s been so long,” Malibu Barbie purrs, pouts as if the inventor of puppy dog eyes isn’t standing right before her. “I’ve missed you.”

You’re not sure what’s going to come out of Jungkook’s mouth next. You don’t want to hear it - already livid over the exchange that’s happened thus far. “Sorry—” You’re not - lying through your neat white teeth as you shoot an arm out between your wide-eyed boyfriend and his idiot ex. “Can I help you?”

The girl - Kiko, was it? - stares at you for the longest moment, as if she’s trying to figure out where she recognises you from. You can practically hear the Windows shutting down noise as the seconds stretch on.

Then, without another word, she’s got her focus back on Jungkook. Sweet darling Jungkook who simply remains silent, bottom lip caught and worried between enamel.

“Who is that, Kookie?”

God, you want to throw up. Fight her, maybe too.

“This is—” You’re glaring daggers at him, daring him to give the wrong answer. “This is my girlfriend.”

“Your girlfriend?” She laughs as if it’s a joke, flutters her obnoxiously long eyelashes.

You’ve had enough, seizing Jungkook’s much larger hand in your own, practically yanking his arm from its socket as you stalk toward the elevator. Irritation skips up your spine, settles like a weighted chain necklace around your throat. You mash your knuckle against the call button. (If you’d used your nail, you’d have surely snapped it.)

You don’t miss the expression in the mirrored wall, Barbie still standing where you’d left her. Your smile is simpering, wholly artificial. And then she’s gone from view and it fades, slips into something even worse.

“What was that?” It comes in a whisper, gritted past your teeth that turn to ash.

“What was what?” Your boyfriend has the audacity to look surprised, peering down at you as if you’ve just asked the weather or the time. There’s not even an ounce of guilt - nothing to be found in those big round eyes of his.

It’s times like these that you resent the person Jungkook is, too soft and kind to tell people to fuck off.

You can’t blame him, though. This is how he’s always been, even if it’s gotten better over the months. At his core, he’s just marshmallows and Lucky Charms, milk and cookies on Christmas morning. (You love these things about him, even when they drive you absolutely insane.)

“Are you mad?” He asks when you barrel out of the lift, push into his apartment with the key that sits alongside your own. You don’t answer - know you’ll say something (deservedly) petty - and instead focus on hanging your coat, setting your stilettos into your side of his hallway closet. “Baby?”

You make it halfway down the hall before he’s scampering after you, threading his arms around your waist and burying his face into your hair. It’s such a sweet gesture that you almost soften, almost let him get away with murder.

“You’re jealous, aren’t you?” The idiot - your beloved idiot - seems terribly proud of this fact, smile pressed against your neck.

“I’m not,” you seeth, shoving his hand off you.

He knows you’re lying.

“Tell me, baby,” he purrs, eyes so wide and innocent you curse him internally.

Would do so verbally, if there weren’t a gag blocking the way, rubber slick with saliva and tears that’ve mingled into an absolute mess. It’s snug around your head, buckled into place and kept from hurting by the goose down pillow keeping you semi-upright.

(Even when he punishes you, takes you over his knee or cuffs you to the bed, he’s considerate. Thoughtful beyond all comprehension.)

Jungkook rocks back on his heels, half-seated on the bed between your spread knees. He’s picturesque, beaming brightly, devastatingly handsome in his comfy pants (a material that feels like heaven any time it brushes your heated skin). His chest is delightfully bare, the only blemish across the supple expanse being the glint of his silver chain, hanging over you and tickling your sternum when he graces you with the occasional chaste peck.

The hand holding the unassuming black and gold device between your legs shifts, presses it just that much deeper within your walls, and he grins. “You were jealous, weren’t you?”

It’s shameful, how wet you are, how slick pools down the crack of your ass, how your entire body trembles, heart rattling around in your ribcage. It’s unbelievable how weak you are for him, completely at his mercy as he rains pleasure upon you.

You nod, grimacing when the bob of your head has spit transferring from your chin to the valley between your breasts.

A hand tracks through the drool and lube (chocolate delight, because Jungkook has a sweet tooth), rubbing the mixture lewdly over your aching nipple. It strains beneath his touch, perks and pebbles with each pass of his tattooed fingers.

When he tweaks it - yanks so hard your back arches off the bed - he soothes the other, laving over the peak with the flat of his tongue. Between your legs, the vibrator goes and goes, pressed lightly against your most sensitive spots. Stimulated inside and out, it feels like every nerve ending is shot, burnt to hell by the match he strikes and pours gasoline over.

Fireworks spark before your eyes with each passing moment, growing in intensity the longer the device runs, the more time he spends sucking your tits into his mouth.

It’s too much - feels like heaven and hell all at once.

But it’s not what sends you over the edge - isn’t what has you coming apart all over his hand, soaking through the delicate material of his pants. It’s his voice, crystal clear past the haze of lust, whispering sweet nothings.

It’s your unbelievable, incredible boy telling you all the things you ache to hear.

“Nothing to be jealous about, ____. You’re the only one for me.” He offers his heart just as readily as he does bliss, granting you an earth-shattering orgasm that starts at the base of your spine and threads heat to every limb. He sucks his affection into the swell of your breasts, fucks the silicon toy into your dripping heat, makes you come apart even as he holds you together.

It’s nirvana with him, a place you only find in his arms, his bed, wrapped up in his warmth.

You sink into it, sob his name as he repeats yours back to you - makes it the only sound you ever want to hear. Finishes with a kiss to your trembling body, planted right beneath your belly button. “All mine.”

Winx Club Season 4 Thoughts Part 2

I did part 1 here. Let’s see if part 2 is gonna top that in a positive way or in a negative one.

4x14:

- I can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree with Bloom. Musa is moving way too fast in her “crush” on Jason. Not to mention that it looked like things were getting a bit better between her and Riven during the last battle with the Wizards.

- Okay, but Bloom is saying the exact opposite of what happened. She wasn’t scared of being a fairy. She instantly agreed to go with Stella to Alfea and never even for a second stopped to think about that taking her away from home like Roxy is doing. At least Roxy can see that it is possible to balance being a fairy and still doing everyday things.

- Faragonda is really getting on my nerves in this scene. First, she jumps on talking about Roxy attending Alfea without even asking her and then she’s all “She needs time”. Contradictory much? If she needs time, then give it to her. And taking the White Circle is probably not a good idea. From what we saw in 4x01 Alfea teachers were unable to do anything against the Wizards and Roxy used it to defeat them in the previous episode. So Winx and Roxy are literally the only ones that can protect the White Circle and use it. Why send it to Alfea? The Wizards can learn about it and attack the school and there will be no one to stop them. Not to mention that it was the thing that helped defeat them and without it Winx and Roxy are weaker and possibly can’t protect Gardenia.

- The TV crew - “talks about fairies* Stella - “Do you think they might be talking about us?” WHAT. THE. FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?! Of course they are talking about you! Do you see any other girls flying around in sparkly outfits! It should be illegal for this line to be so stupid considering how short it is.

- So now the Specialists are throwing jabs at each other? I thought Sky and Brandon were the bestest of friends, wtf? And Helia too? Seriously? Can this season not ruin all the good dynamics? At least the Riven and Nabu friendship is still going strong. And Riven is being more open with Nabu while Nabu is giving some quality advice. I like that. Almost makes up for the other bullshit happening with all of them.

- Didn’t the tiger say the ship is leaving soon? And they still decided to wait a whole day to get there? That sounds like an urgent, asap business but yeah, sure. Go chill all day. What could go wrong with that plan?

- Klaus is super chill considering Roxy just brought a tiger home and it’s adorable but shouldn’t they report the whole thing and take the tiger to the proper authorities? I know the magical dimension has no logic whatsoever when it comes to laws and such but they are on Earth now and I am pretty sure it is not legal for Roxy to keep the tiger. Can we have some real world logic here, please?

- Stella and Brandon are so fucking cute when they’re not fighting.

- Damn, Jason even interrupted the breakup talk. Come on! We all know it is not breakup talk but still.

- Yeah, they really fought the most powerful beings of the magical dimension and then lost to two animal smugglers. Nice one, you guys.

- I will never get over the stupidity that fairies being unable to get out of simple ropes on their own is. They have magic for heaven’s sake! Bloom could totally burn the ropes with a little spark! This is super stupid!

- Yes, just release a bunch of wild animals in the middle of a city. Nothing could go wrong with that.

- Why are they exhausted? They literally didn’t do shit! It was just Musa that used her powers! Also, wouldn’t it have made more sense if they used Flora’s special powers? She is the fairy of nature and animals are part of nature. What the hell does the song of one’s heart have to do with how they act towards nature?!

- Omg, why is Musa acting like Jason’s wedding had her heartbroken? She met him three days ago and didn’t know anything about him! He offered to produce her music which is still absolutely doable even if he is married! She’s acting like she’s been in love with him for years and she barely knows him! Besides, she hasn’t lost any of his support and encouragement for her musical career. This is an exaggerated reaction.

4x15:

- Um... aren’t Winx only in Gardenia? This looks like they’ve gone worldwide. Also, since when can Duman do anything that does not involve shapeshifting?

- What the fuck, he just turned into water?!

- Ogron is getting the right idea. Well, right for the Wizards’ plans.

- What is Stella doing? I get she’s tired but she just went in the shop, looked at what all the others were doing and then left?! What the hell???

- *groan* Why are we bringing up the Mitzi thing again? That was already resolved, dammit! I remember Mitzi was part of Ogron’s plan but they could have still had that without reopening drama that they already closed. And even Mitzi’s words are stupid. There is nothing to fight for. Brandon already chose Stella.

- Where did Mitzi’s friends come from all of a sudden? This is exactly like Chimera and her groupies. And Valtor also planned on using her against Stella. *sigh* We have done this already! I feel like they decided to combine the Diaspro and Chimera storylines from last season and push it all on Stella for some reason.

- Wtf? Mitzi and her friends were super scared but then suddenly they follow the Wizards just because of their dislike for Winx? Like, the Wizards didn’t even introduce themselves or anything, they didn’t even give them a reason to follow them. What the hell is the logic of this scene? At least Mitzi’s friends look somewhat genuine since they were all curled up into each other when they got scared and she didn’t try to push them away. Why does she want Brandon if she can have two girlfriends? Brandon is awesome but already taken and she seems to have a cool relationship with her girls already. Oh, look, her girls even have brains! Come on, Mitzi, listen to them!

- I guess Ogron has the power to make fairies now! Though, a better explanation would be that they just gave them magical powers and Duman used his shapeshifting skills to only make them look like fairies to make people hate fairies when Mitzi and her friends start doing stupid stuff.

- Oh, really? Musa now wants Riven back? After her other option was taken away? This is horrible. If the problem was truly that she felt Riven was unsupportive, she shouldn’t want him back unless they fix that. But no, now that Jason is off the table, she wants Riven back even though he allegedly wasn’t good for her. Just say you’re desperate for attention, honey.

- They’re even helping at the bar after the long day they had? If I were them I would just crash on the ground as well the first chance I got.

- At least Bloom only put the lid of the shaft back in place instead of levitating the person.

- It is pretty cool that they show Roxy and Mitzi and her friends training parallel to each other. And the lessons were interesting (I thought the birds were gonna drop Kiko but he got enough when he got hit with that soccer ball). Also, Mitzi really is learning fast if you can say that having common sense counts as learning but considering what they’ve already done in this season, I’ll take it.

- Oh, wow! Mitzi is showing some actual strategical thinking! And she wasn’t blinded by her desire to be better than Winx and instead admitted their weakness in order to defeat them? I am so pleasantly surprised. Less so by the people of Gardenia. Just because someone calls you friend, doesn’t mean that you’re really friends or have anything in common. Please! Can people not fall for everything so easily?!

- Oh, damn! Bloom got physical! She really got mad, huh? And she’s also pretty strong to just flip Mitzi like that.

- It took them that long to figure out that Winx are protecting them? Really? Last time I checked, people were supposed to have stopped believing in magic, not be stupid as all fuck.

- Wait, so Mitzi and her friends don’t remember what happened? And no one is gonna do anything about them? They destroyed a whole park and almost killed people! Did no one see their faces? How come they are not in any legal trouble for this?!

- At least Jason’s wife is not affected by this jealousy plague that has hit all the Winx and the Specialists.

4x16:

- Yeah, I don’t think finding them is going to be a problem. Especially now that they are popular both because of the pet shop and as fairies. The only problem the Wizards have is that they can’t quite defeat them currently.

- I thought Roxy didn’t remember the Nebula possession.

- What are those mood swings of Musa’s? Last episode she instantly went looking for Riven after she learned there could be nothing between her and Jason, now she’s moping about Jason still. Do you even know what you want at this point?

- I don’t think putting the White Circle in the game is a good idea. Can they even keep an eye on it that way? What if the Wizards do something like the Tracix spell and find out the Circle is in the game? What is gonna stop them from taking it? I think Winx underestimate them. But Stella’s reaction to Tecna’s gadgets was super cute! They should have had more friendship moments together.

- Wtf, where did this idea for the music band come from? Also, Bloom just said she needs Musa to give her singing lessons. How come she’s the main vocalist of the band later on? And Flora telling Stella that it’s not easy to perform in front of people? Stella, who already won a beauty pageant? Really? We all know Stella doesn’t give two fucks about being in front of people.

- Riven is communicating so much better with Nabu and even Helia than he is with Musa. I think they never became friends before becoming a couple and that is really getting in the way of truly opening up to each other. At least he has great wingmen.

- Okay, Riven fucked it up but it was obviously an accident. And Musa didn’t even appreciate his attempt. In fact, her reactions to his attempts to be better are always so negative and, therefore, discourage him from ever doing it again. I’m surprised he still wants to do things right by her after all the times she’s acted like a bitch because his attempts were not quite successful. She doesn’t appreciate his efforts at all if the outcome is not perfect.

- See? I told you they would find it. Winx really underestimated them a lot this time. And if they were gonna stay in town, why not just carry the Circle with them? This was a stupid plan.

- Klaus is a very understanding employer if he still hasn’t fired the Specialists after they keep disappearing like that for undetermined amounts of time. Though, I think after learning about the fairy business, it is natural that he will be a bit more lenient when he knows what dangers they are battling.

- Helia really do be beating monsters with just a glove, huh?

- Aww, look at Timmy being absolutely amazing!

- Couldn’t they use the Zoomix wings without the need for Musa’s sonic distortion? It didn’t seem to do that much anyway.

- Why did they let go of the Circle and where did it go? Couldn’t Roxy have done something to keep it with them? It responds to her the most. Oh, they have it.

- At least Musa apologized to Riven. Her reaction to the chocolates was really stupid so I’m glad she rethought all of that. Even though I don’t understand why Nabu had to be the one to tell her what Riven was doing. I thought it was obvious.

4x17:

- How many times are they gonna leave Kiko in charge when they know the pets don’t listen to him? Also, didn’t they already spoil the fact that the fairies are trapped and the White Circle is the last portal to free them in a recap in one of the earlier episodes?

- Wait, since when are the pets listening to Kiko?

- The Book of Fairies? Is that the Believix book? How many things are in that book? It doesn’t look endless.

- Wow, that’s a lot of responsibility shoved on Roxy’s shoulders. But did they seriously leave her? How do they plan on freeing the Earth fairies without her?

- Well, they’re going to have to use some spells in order to get out of their predicaments whether they like it or not. Also, is it the island that has been enchanted by the Wizards to take care of fairies? Is that what is happening here? Because I don’t think the Wizards are there at the current moment.

- If they can’t use their magic, free climbing will be dangerous, not fun.

- Yes, of course, Bloom can break the spell over herself like none of the others were able to.

- Well, Bloom got her unicorn/pegasus in Magical Adventure. But can’t Musa do something about the sirens’ song?

- Finally. Both about Musa and freeing the Earth fairies. Tecna and Stella make quite a great team, though!

- Bloom really just called a queen “Your Highness”. I know she didn’t grow up a princess but she must have learned by now from Stella and Layla (and even her own parents who are free at this point) what the proper way to address a queen/king is.

- When is Morgana gonna tell Roxy that she’s her mom? Does she even remember? They didn’t erase her memories like with Klaus’, right? I thought she would be mad at Nebula for possessing her daughter but there was no reaction whatsoever.

4x18:

- How did they jump from “Shit, we might have doomed Earth” to “Yay, we’re becoming an official band” so quickly? And even Roxy was on board with all that even though she was being torn apart by guilt earlier. Drama would have been more proper here than in any of the other places they have used it this season. Also, what is it that makes Musa such a professional musician compared to the others? It’s not like she has her own songs produced or anything. And Stella said she plays a lot of instruments. Plus, if a musical producer liked them, then that means that they are all more than just amateurs.

- At least the new outfits are cute. And the boys are totally swept off their feet. XD

- Ugh, just tell me Sky is not going to go into jealousy rage again. And why do he and Brandon keep making digs at each other? They are supposed to be the eternal bromance. And Riven too? I thought we were over this!

- It’s Flora time by the looks of it. I have to say that the idea of Winx fighting the Major Fairies is really good because the fairies’ powers come from hatred while Winx’ powers come from the belief of humans in magic so by defeating the fairies, Winx get to show that faith and love are always stronger. That was well thought up. I only hope the execution will be decent as well.

- Seriously, Flora is their trump card in this situation and even she can’t fight? Nabu is being totally awesome, though! Even if a bit of a Deus Ex Machina.

- Well, of course, Diana is in the park. Where would a nature fairy go? Is anyone shocked by this?

- These carnivore plants look different from the usual. But they really left the guys go after Diana even though they couldn’t do anything against her with their magic? And Timmy was worried about the monsters that are obviously much weaker than Diana? Great.

- Tecna is rocking this as usual. But of course, there is a giant spider. Every. Single. Time.

- Did Sky really order Diana to stop? Has his coronation gotten to his head? I am surprised she didn’t snap at that very instant.

- Why is Nabu literally the only one that is handling this? He is the only one that is not a Specialist and it looks like all they’re Specialists in is jealousy. It’s because of the magic, right? Look at them say that people without magic are useless.

- What exactly are Nabu’s powers? Because he seems to be able to do everything.

- Yes, Mike, anger the oversized spider more! What a wonderful idea! At least we know where Bloom got her temper. Not that she didn’t have enough of it already in her genes from both Oritel and Marion but I’m sure growing up with Mike only nurtured it instead of inhibiting it.

- Lmao at Mike and Stella’s conversation. XD He is right, though. At this rate, they’ll destroy the whole building.

- Yeah, Musa blasted it but what was Tecna doing? Just standing under the spider and screaming? Please, she is better than this!

- What does Roxy mean “It’s not [her] type of pet”? She’s the fairy of animals! That means all animals, not just the furry, cute ones.

- I don’t think teleportation is gonna solve all the problems. As an on-the-spot solution for the spider situation it is okay but they still need to figure out a way to beat Diana. Nabu’s been holding her off while the seven of them can’t even defeat a single spider.

- Aww, that scene was pretty emotional. Between Nabu’s guilt for not saving the others and Musa’s feelings for Riven, it got intense. And the plot is getting more intense as well which is awesome!

4x19:

- Wait, wait! They just gave them the Sophix Gifts? Didn’t Winx have to accomplish some missions to get them? Or do they receive them before the mission to finish it with the help of the Gifts?

- I thought Stella would freak when she saw the snake but she just petted it like it was a puppy. That was adorable!

- That vision told them fuckall. Like they weren’t gonna take that path anyway. What was the point of it?

- Hideout? This is not a hideout! It looks more like a temple. But hideout would imply it should be hidden and it just... isn’t.

- Okay, the Earth fairies have a point to some extent and Flora feeling the pain of the plants could have been a good way to show forgiveness since Diana is bound to feel the same pain, only, she has let it turn her dark. And then Winx could use the Believix powers with help from the Earth fairies to stop humans from destroying the planet... Which they can still do. Hopefully.

- Again, aren’t they only famous in Gardenia? Why does Stella think that deforestators in the Amazonian jungle will know who they are?

- So there’s not gonna be any actual transformation for the Sophix? They just change their outfits and wings. At least the gifts look cool even though they probably won’t get to use them much. It would have been even better if the warrior fairies would just think for themselves instead of listen to Diana like they don’t have their own brains.

- At least Musa and Riven are getting somewhere. Still not good enough but it’s better than the previous few episodes.

- I thought the Sophix powers were supposed to defeat Diana. How are they gonna do that if they can’t even defeat this other fairy that is surely weaker than her? And they already considered the possibility of it being a trap so why did they fall for it so easily?

4x20:

- Why is the recap implying that Roxy is with them in Amazonia when she stayed behind?

- Flora is getting fired up because of the plants again which I like but it would have been better if it actually allowed her to break out of the chains instead of all of them waiting to be rescued. Also, you have to love how Diana cares more about the source of her power rather than the destruction of the very forest that is her domain.

- Bloom: Let’s destroy it. *3 seconds later* Bloom: Destruction is not the solution to anything. Well, good thing your mood swings were from bad to good mood this time. Also, how do they imagine they are going to protect the bud from anyone that wants to hurt it if they ever want to go back home? Keeping that promise would mean living there for the rest of their lives. Why is this dialogue so decidedly not thought out?

- I thought that thanks to Sophix Winx are now completely connected with nature. What happened with that? I know Diana is the fairy of nature but so is Flora! She should be able to do something here and they should at least be equals with advantage to Winx because they’re more (we don’t count the warrior fairies because we all know that they don’t matter).

- Convenient how feeling nature suffering only happens sometimes and just with close range destruction. If Diana was feeling every tree that was cut down, she shouldn’t have been able to stand on her feet by now. This is bullshit and so is the fact that Flora is not any more useful than any of the other Winx right now. At least Nabu is being awesome again aka doing everyone else’s jobs.

- Great! Now both Flora and Diana are useless.

- Aww, finally we get some fangirling from Stella over Brandon again! I have missed this and it was about damn time. How could they trade this perfection for all the stupid jealousy drama in this season?

- If Diana is the fairy of nature, she should be damn near immortal and in order to destroy her, you should destroy all nature first. This is absolute nonsense. They cut down two trees and now she’s in mortal danger. Some fucking fairy of nature. Please!

- Now Diana went from completely useless to ridiculously and over the top so. If the Major Fairy of nature can’t cure the bud, then what is she even good for, really? This whole episode is bullshit on top of other bullshit.

- Really? There wasn’t even a good moment of revelation. Winx did a lot but it wasn’t their actions that changed her mind, it was the native people and that was just... a bit underwhelming. This could have been done so much better. *sigh*

- “Gift of Wisdom,” they say like there was any wisdom in what happened here. If anything, there was empathy and just general common sense from Winx who were aware of the fact that just because some people do bad things, it doesn’t mean that all people are evil. There is no wisdom in that. Nothing even remotely smart in any of this.

- At least Musa and Riven finally fixed their shit! Riven was being absolutely adorable! He really has his jerk moments but he is awesome and so underappreciated. And all the other couples were adorable as well! Though, I have to say that I love the fact that Bloom accidentally implied that Layla and Nabu are a better couple than her and Sky. XD Thanks, writers! (even if they quickly rebutted that idea with the next dialogue exchange) I will be forever salty about the fact that they didn’t let Layla have the wedding she was so worried about organizing. She is so invested in it and so in love with Nabu and they just... they just went and killed him.

4x21:

- Seriously? Andy and his band barely showed up and the guys already started acting like everything was ruined? When will this be over? I am so sick of it, especially after it was already made super clear that they have nothing to worry about. And how are Winx getting produced so fast? They literally got a producer the same day they formed their band. This does not follow any actual logic.

- Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Suddenly they’re all super talented in music. Of course. And why is Musa acting like she hasn’t been in Jason’s studio before? Come on, writers! That was a big moment of drama for her and Riven. If you insist on shoving jealousy everywhere, at least remember the details around it and stop contradicting yourselves!

- I am pretty sure they also mentioned the musical contest already in a previous episode so they are repeating themselves... again. Can we get back to the Major Fairies? At least things are happening there.

- All their performances have been live! He’s already seen how they do live shows! This is really getting on my nerves.

- Since when is a music band their dream?!?!?!?! And why are the boys being so fucking jealous all over again?!?!?!?! Just. Move. The fuck. ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Great! And now suddenly we went from Bloom and Musa being vocalists to only Bloom even though Musa is THE FUCKING FAIRY OF MUSIC! This episode is testing my patience. Actually, the previous episode did that. This one is running it fucking thin!

- Well, fucking finally! I was wondering when the Wizards were gonna show up again, and this is getting interesting. Though, Ogron kneeling in front of Bloom is just a bit too theatrical for me to not start suspecting that they have a play here. Even if they are truly weakened, that doesn’t mean that they don’t plan on taking advantage of having Winx fight their battle to get their powers back and come out on top again.

- Yep, there was a physical Black Circle, after all. It was just too lame for them not to do it. And they aren’t even going to explain how in the hell all the Wizards’ power is contained in it. The White Circle is a portal (and one of many at that) but the Black Circle is more like the Agathor Box and contains all the Wizards’ power? Yeah, right. None of this checks out. Again.

- Somehow I have a feeling that since the Wizards are with them, they are going to draw attention in one way or another.

- Okay, Winx pushing the Wizards out of harm’s way was actually kinda funny but it just makes the Wizards look fucking incompetent without their magic. Like, please, they are centuries old! They certainly have the common sense of moving out of the way of a boulder that will crush them! And they’re acting like what Winx did was some kind of impossible feat when it was just basic survival instinct. There isn’t much philosophy to “jump out of the way of the thing that can kill you”. Can we stop acting like they solved the biggest mysteries of the universe? But I trust the Wizards less and less the nicer they act.

- I am also getting sick of them acting like the Gift of Heart is landing them some magical levels of courage when any person would have done the exact same things even without magic.

- Well, now the Specialists just seem to have general anger management issues even if those guys were truly annoying as hell in the 10 seconds they had on screen.

- For a second there I thought Morgana would possess Roxy like Nebula did but, thankfully, she didn’t. She’s trying to save her daughter. Which I think would work much better if she told her she was her mom. But anyway, I agree with her this time. Her quest for vengeance and Winx’ attempts to save humankind aside, it is obvious that the Wizards are not being honest about this and will use the first opportunity to turn things in their favor again. They might even be trying to kill Sybila by having Winx get them to her because they can’t reach her on their own.

- And here I thought they couldn’t transform. But of course, they can! It would have been much more interesting if Winx had had to use the Black Circle because their Believix powers weren’t working.

- That was it? I expected more from that battle. And it could have been a test to see if their intentions were good aka having them protecting the Wizards be the part that would prove they only want to help everyone. But it was all over before it began. What even was the point of it?

- Aww, the Specialists are going to play to buy Winx some time. Lmao it would be super stupid if they got chosen for winners instead of Winx and it would probably create more drama. But I think it would have been cooler if Nabu had used his magic to make them all look like their girlfriends and win the first place for them. XD It was cool to see Riven do something like that, though. And he’s singing!

- Tests, my ass. Those were barely any tests. They have been through so much worse back when they were freshmen in Alfea and they also handled it better back then despite being significantly weaker in power.

- Seriously, Stella? Are your comprehension skills damaged or something? Handling the mission without help from magic actually makes you braver, you stupid idiot! And I am so happy that it wasn’t the Gift of Heart in action because that would have made it really underwhelming.

- Yeah, so the Wizards are obviously gonna do some shit here because we all know what happens before the end of this season. But the musical contest was saved. Because that is the most important thing in their lives, apparently.

- I was worried Musa was going to be a bitch about this but they solved this quickly. Good. My tolerance for drama is running out and there are still five episodes left of this season. And Musa was also singing along with Bloom. (I’ll take what I can get since even that will be gone soon.)

- Does Jason know that they’re fairies (which he should) and, more importantly, can he produce them in the rest of the magical dimension? That would have been fun to see. Imagine you are a musical producer and suddenly these fairies appear. They’re good and you sign a contract with them and next thing you know, you’re being taken to different planets because they also want to sing there and your business is suddenly interdimensional. That would have been a good thing to add to this whole ridiculous subplot with the musical band.

4x22:

- Oh, damn! Aurora looks pretty powerful! I just hope that they will do more with her than they did with Diana. And she also seems smart, too, as she came up with the idea of wanting the Wizards as ransom. At least the Fairies of Vengeance haven’t lost it enough to attack Sybila.

- Aww, Tecna’s dress is awesome! I love it!

- Why did they just go separate ways if they were trying to come up with a name for the band. What, are they gonna give up after one suggestion? And can we, please, have someone else other than Bloom come up with the name? Like Musa maybe?

- Oh, yeah, another Ice Age is gonna be a great surprise for their future and an awesome start to their musical career! (But damn, why are Layla and Nabu so cute? Also, wtf is up with Musa? One second she acts like she is totally in love with Riven (she even said he already has her) and then she says she needs to think. Well, if you’re gonna think, think before you say things like that!)

- Okay, but what are the Earth fairies going to do after they destroy Earth? This seems a little counterproductive, just saying.

- I knew the Wizards were planning something. I just can’t tell if Duman was actually hurt or they did it on purpose to be more convincing. However, I think I saw somewhere that he dies in the end of the season so that would suggest that it wasn’t the other Wizards that had him spelled to appear so weak. But damn, they almost looked genuinely worried for him in the beginning there!

- Oh, so Amazonia was too dangerous for Roxy but now that the end of the world is coming up, she can suddenly go to the very center of that shitstorm? Wow, great logic there.

- Yes, good thing that this is happening on Earth so that it can get destroyed rather than the magical dimension.

- Morgana’s strategy here is not very smart. Does she think that she is going to win Roxy over by killing her friends? I know she’s a bit blinded by rage and thirst for vengeance right now but it should click that that will not be in her favor.

- “Well done”? She didn’t hit anything! You’d think that Musa’s sonic waves will be very useful against ice monsters (especially since we’ve seen her shatter Icy’s ice shards with them already)... that is, if she can actually hit any of the monsters with them, which she didn’t. Bloom and Stella’s powers should also be very useful in this situation, yet they somehow seem to not be giving it their all here... And suddenly they got overzealous.

- “Three days ago”? Wtf, Aurora definitely did not launch her attack that long ago. They can’t even keep a solid timeline in one single episode. *exasperated sigh*

- Ah, so brainwashing the polar bears is what Roxy is here for. There were plenty of animals in Amazonia, too, but they benched her on that one. Anyway, I am glad they didn’t fight the bears.

- The Lovix transformation is really annoying me. They couldn’t draw something that is actually appropriate for the cold weather. Obviously they aren’t cold in their fairy forms but if you’re gonna give it fur to make it look warm and wintery, you can actually make it look like something that someone without magic would realistically wear in the winter.

- At least now Bloom and Stella are actually utilizing the advantage of their elements. But Flora is again only using her ivy and it is getting boring. All that magic at her disposal and she uses the same type of attack (even if they give the spells different names) all the time. You might wanna update your repertoire. And wtf was up with Roxy’s attack? Why would blasting at the fairies feet make them fall? Their wings would be the center of their mass so pushing at their feet wouldn’t have much of an effect. Or at least it shouldn’t have because they are flying and not walking but someone in the crew there did not get the memo.

- What do you mean that there is no way out? If there is a way in, there is at least one way out. Also, if you’re at the center of a maze, there should be many paths you can take even if they only temporarily serve as an escape.

- Roxy just used Morgana’s plan of getting rid of only Winx against her. That was great! I am starting to think that she is the only one with a brain here and needs some new mentors because hers might teach her their own stupidity.

- Seriously, they didn’t do that much. They did fight the ice monsters but other than that, their lack of braincells is just astounding. At least this was a little better than the last episode with Sybila’s cave.

- I have to agree with Aurora, they do catch up a little too late. However, Morgana said that no harm should come upon Roxy and they just left Roxy in danger of freezing to death. I’m sure she didn’t mean “make Winx choose between my daughter and mankind”. Hopefully, this will bring out some sense in her.

4x23:

- How is this not putting Roxy in danger? What the fuck did Morgana tell them?! Why is Nebula doing the exact opposite of keeping Roxy safe? Don’t let a hair from her head fall means not let her freeze to death as well! If I were Morgana, I would stop wasting my time on vengeance and take care of my daughter!

- Since when can’t the Earth fairies enter Sybila’s cave?!?!?!?! That is definitely not the reason why they didn’t want to go against her in the previous episode. They just wanted to avoid getting on the wrong side of her. Not to mention that ROXY ENTERED SYBILA’S CAVE! AND SHE IS A TERRESTRIAL FAIRY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AT THIS POINT, WRITERS?!?!?!?!?!?!?

- Can you shut up with the responsibility speech and start doing something? You’re losing precious seconds!

- Why the fuck is she angering Nebula? Yes, let’s fight while Roxy is fucking freezing to death! And why don’t they just use the Zoomix wings and teleport away?!?!?! It is Aurora’s magic that is freezing over the world. They need to find her. Why are they wasting their time on Nebula anyway?

- And now they’re trapped. How is finding out what Morgana’s relation to Roxy is going to help them at this very moment? I get that they don’t have many other options (or any) but that does not sound like it will grant them a way out. Also, I am pretty sure Bloom was not actually there during the fight she was talking about when Roxy noticed the other fairies weren’t attacking her. Been a few days since I watched that but I am pretty sure Bloom and Stella stayed behind to hold off the ice monsters and weren’t there for Bloom to make the observation she is now stating. Unless Roxy somehow telepathically told her about it, SHE CAN’T KNOW! There hasn’t been a single thing about this episode that is not frustrating so far.

- Bloom managed to buy you time, my ass. She managed to get you trapped when you could have just teleported away! You call that a good move?!

- Yes, just kidnap Roxy. For a moment there I really thought she would. But damn, why can’t she listen to her own daughter? Roxy has been on Earth for the last sixteen years that she missed. I think between the two of them Roxy knows better how humans are.

- What does it matter if it’s an ice rink when they’re going to be flying over it anyway?

- What, that was it? One shot and they’re done? Please, tell me Bloom is going to do something any moment because this episode is gonna make me lose it otherwise!

- What the fuck exhausted them? They haven’t even been fighting for a minute! Nebula is supposed to be super strong and Bloom has the fucking Dragon Fire! If this is all they can do, we need new characters because these just became a fucking joke.

- Nebula is acting like the people gave up on them the second they disappeared which is definitely not what happened and I don’t know what she expected. That people are going to believe in creatures that no one can prove exist until the end of times?

- I get that the Lovix is meant for cold environments but Bloom’s power is the Dragon Fire and she’s been using only ice magic. That’s not how her powers are supposed to work.

- Didn’t Bloom summon her Dragon Fire? Why are there SNOWFLAKES coming out of her hands?!?!?!?!

- Well, at least Morgana has some sense left. Not a lot, but some.

- They don’t need her portal, they have stupid teleportation wings!

- Oh, no. Nabu will be dying soon. And they even had Layla reacting to the Black Gift to foreshadow it. God, I hate this!

- Well, for being one of the Major Fairies, Aurora certainly didn’t do shit.

- Why was there all of that wondering about Morgana’s relation to Roxy when they didn’t make any progress on that front at all?! It was very misplaced especially considering the gravity of the situation it was happening in.

- God, I really hate the writers right now. They really included that scene with Nabu telling Layla everything is going to be fine as long as they’re together right before killing him? That is EVIL!

- We all agree that this ring moment there means that Stella and Brandon are now engaged, right? I mean, it would make sense that he’d want to show her she is the only one for him after all the jealousy bullshit in this season.

4x24:

- Riiiiight. The Wizards seem so dangerous without their powers... Oh, wait! We’ve never actually seen them do anything without their powers. And they needed Winx to rescue them from the falling rocks instead of just following their innate survival instincts and ducking out of the way. Sure, seem real dangerous to me.

- Was that a portal Nabu just opened? And why can’t he try the magic at Sybila’s cave? Why do they need to go to Gardenia when he could just do it there?

- Yep, it’s a portal. He’s never opened portals before but sure he can do it now all of a sudden!

- Didn’t they have to go underground last time to open the gate to Tir Nan Og? But of course, who needs consistency? On anything.

- Yes, the Wizards were going to be defeated by a flock of crows. Damn, how dangerous they are!

- The Circle is the door to the black abyss? What the hell does that mean?!

- Wait... Their wings grew back after the Wizards cut them off?! Wow. Way to make none of this lasting. Yes, they were trapped for centuries but if anything, that gave their wings time to grow back. Even if they’d been free, it would have still sucked without wings and it could have diminished their power greatly to the point where they wouldn’t have been much more than ordinary humans. Honestly, the writers are running from writing proper trauma and consequences of it every single time except the one when they killed off Nabu and then let it stick. THAT was what they should have taken back! The fairies would have been much more terrifying without wings and drawing into their nature powers to the point of starting to destroy Earth in order to compensate for the magic taken away from them and defeat the Wizards. But nope, they got their wings back.

- I wonder if Morgana would have still been quite as welcoming of Roxy if she weren’t her daughter. Considering the way she instantly went against Winx in the name of her revenge despite the fact that they saved her, I’m gonna say no.

- Nabu is basically the alternative medicine guy you turn to when doctors keep stuffing you with meds without actually having any idea what they are trying to do aka curing the symptoms, not the disease. But is this the confirmation that Duman did this on his own? He purposefully used his powers so much as to appear sick and make the Wizards look more sympathetic? Cause they kinda went off the radar and there was no reason for him to have been shapeshifting so much otherwise. Edit: yep, he did it to himself.

- And the Nabu and Riven bromance is going on strong. Makes me even madder that they killed him off.

- Lmao, they really believed the Wizards though. I was gonna say this was the dumbest thing they’ve ever done but they’ve done plenty of dumb things. Also, don’t tell me - Nabu’s sudden ability to open portals will be used now to warn the fairies.

- Did Nabu just perform an exorcism that ended up killing Duman? Damn, talk about harsh.

- “They must be at the castle” really narrows this down. Also, why tf is Morgana acting like the Black Circle is the ring she’s always wanted? If it were me, I would make sure it never sees the light of day again if it couldn’t be destroyed. But since they said that there were other White Circles that were destroyed, then the Black Circle can probably be destroyed as well. So fucking destroy it already!

- Yeah, these guardian fairies are definitely doing a great job.

- Is he trying to trap them again? Didn’t he already try that? He’s just upgraded it a little bit now but do we really believe there won’t be any coming back for all these fairies? Let me guess, no one important will actually get sucked in then.

- Yes, Tecna, we couldn’t tell that the vortexes suck you into a dimension of hell. Thanks for your input.

- Oh, damn! Nabu sucking the entire abyss into his staff was super epic and some finale level moment, I have to say. I am surprised they didn’t save it up for then.

- “These eyes, Layla, mustn’t cry”?????? What kind of epic goodbye is that?!?!?! How could they break my heart so much?!?!??!?! I am fucking crying over here!!!!!

- “These eyes will never cry again.” Well, maybe but I am fucking bawling over here! And Ogron... that was the biggest dick move anyone in the entire series has ever pulled. And of course, Layla is the one suffering from this. @ the writers - Leave her the fuck alone!!!!!!!

- “Until he wakes up again”? Isn’t he dead? Does she mean reincarnation? Wtf does that line mean??????

- I hate Layla’s decision. Not just because she instantly switched over to revenge which is really... I don’t want to say hypocritical but that’s what it was. She’s been fighting the Earth fairies for a couple of episodes now because she didn’t believe they were right to seek revenge but once she is in pain and wronged, suddenly revenge is the answer to everything. And the fact that she abandoned her friends so easily almost makes it look like she’s choosing love over friendship which is just so tired. Not to mention that she knows very well Nabu wouldn’t have wanted her to turn hateful. I know we can’t help our feelings, but we can help our actions because we have control of those. She didn’t have to jump on revenge train after she’s been fighting the Earth fairies from doing the same.

4x25:

- If Riven doesn’t throw a fit over this, it would be OOC. But until then I’ll take him crying. As sad as this is, I love that he just reacts so openly to Nabu’s death because they were really close. (Also, yes, Bloom, we know you never thought any of you could die. If it had occurred to you that it was possible, you all would have made smarter choices. Hopefully.)

- Layla is being absolutely baffling. She left her friends but then she asks if they need Morgana’s permission to do something that she knows Morgana will never let them do.

- Didn’t Roxy’s dream sort of imply that Morgana got trapped in the mirror? As if it is some sort of gateway which would leave her “close but far away”? Or was that not a dream and we didn’t see Roxy’s dream, she just retold it?

- How the fuck does Sky know that about the Hall? When has he been in the castle? When has he read the Book of Fairies (which I don’t think even had a layout of the Tir Nan Og castle)? This doesn’t make sense!

- Well, Morgana did not choose her court well. They turned against her instead of being loyal just because they don’t like her decision. Honestly, if they aren’t going to take orders, why even be there?

- Wow, Bloom gave a really good argument. We could have used a mic drop over here!

- The writers have already proven they don’t care about semantics but the Wizards are Nabu’s killers/murderers, not assassins. Assassination requires political motives. That was pure cruelty.

- Wow, Layla is really the one being all “you replaced me” even though she was the one who left! Not to mention that it’s not like they only now invited Roxy to be one of them. They said she was with them way back in the first half of the season and Roxy has earned her place with them since she never abandoned them even though she knew that could put her in danger as well.

- Winx are being surprisingly wise about this. Excluding Layla, that is. Although I have to say that when they thought Tecna died in season 3, they were all on board with revenge against Valtor even though he was less directly responsible for that than the Wizards were for Nabu’s death. Hopefully, that’s what made them learn because they almost died back then.

- Wow, Roxy didn’t even question Morgana being her mom for a moment. I know she’s felt connected to her but she’s never known anything about her mom and finally learning who she is doesn’t evoke any more reaction than “cereal for breakfast” would.

- Love how Tecna isn’t having any traumatic memories triggered by being back in the Omega dimension where she almost died!

- Yes, Layla. Get yourself killed as well. I know you don’t care but there are other people who loved you besides Nabu and who you still love. At least all the other fairies besides Nebula stepped down. But Morgana’s move to just ask them to come home and even offer to abdicate was really touching.

4x26:

- Can I just say how lame it is to call 4x26 “Ice and Fire” when 1x26 was “Fire and Ice”?

- Wasn’t Anagan the fast one? Literally super speed. How come he’s the first one to run out of energy to run? It is literally his magical power and specialty!

- Layla and Nebula should stop blasting stuff because they’ll either run out of magic or cause a cave in. Either way, they’ll boost up the chances of their own death.

- Ogron can still absorb powers. Didn’t that disappear at some point? Also, why were they running if they were perfectly capable of defeating Layla and Nebula?

- Does this mean that Layla will stop with the vengeance agenda and come back to the club? Please!

- Aaaaand they caused a cave in! Wow, didn’t see that coming! Also, the only reason the Wizards hid in Omega was so that the final battle wouldn’t destroy Tir Nan Og or Gardenia and they get delivered to the prison dimension where they belong instantly! In fact, they delivered themselves. Someone just had to deep freeze them.

- Yeah, right. Nebula suddenly changed her mind. Like, there was no trigger to this change or reason behind it. If Morgana’s speech didn’t touch her, then nearly getting herself and Layla killed shouldn’t have had much more effect. The writers should have left her there as a way for her to ensure the Wizards will never get free. It would have made more sense for her character at this point since she was the one that gave up on being the fairy of peace. Someone else could have taken that one on.

- What did Morgana mean by “release your magic”? They didn’t give it up, did they? Only let it imbue the world again and work in harmony with it once more, right?

- Eh, did Nebula really deserve being queen after her horrible judgment that could have cost the lives of all the fairies? And she only changed her mind once the Wizards were defeated. What would have happened if they’d gotten away? She probably would have still chased them. Also, does this mean Roxy is not the princess of Tir Nan Og anymore? She certainly is too young and inexperienced to rule and she didn’t want to be a fairy (though that is probably resolved by now) but maybe one day she’ll want to be the fairy queen. Though, I think Nebula won’t have a problem with that. How long do Earth fairies live, though? Because they’ve been saying they have been trapped for centuries.

- Tbh Morgana had the most reason to be mad considering the family the Wizards took away from her but I am glad she chose to put her efforts towards said family rather than revenge.

- They really forgot about the pets? Stella is really gonna throw a fit this time. But there is no rest from the pets and the business.

- If the pets form a music band, I will throw a fit.

- Oh, wow! Sky remembered his royal duties and the Specialists are actually still going to school? You’d think they would’ve thrown them out by now. Though, I guess this was an official mission.

- It must have been really tough on Layla to tell Nabu’s parents about his death instead of their wedding.

- Faragonda showed up? I cannot believe it! But why the hell would Roxy decide to go to Alfea right now? She just got her mother and they have so much catching up to do. Besides, Morgana can certainly teach her all there is to being a fairy considering how she was the queen of all Earth fairies.

- Are the girls really thinking they can balance a business, a musical career and being guardians of the magical dimension? This is not ambitious. It is madness. Also, they never picked a name for the band, did they?

- I am surprised by how long they took to wrap this season up. At least it paid off as they managed to cover all the things that needed covering after the last battle. Some better than others but it was decent as far as endings go.

This season suffered from some major pacing issues. The first half dragged along too much with the tons of jealousy and relationship drama that took up screen time that could have been used for something productive instead and the second half could have used more time to flesh out some plot points and use some characters and situations to their full potential. There was definitely way too much going on in this season with the pet shop, the music band, the relationship drama, the Wizards of the Black Circle, Roxy and the Earth Fairies. They could have easily cut the band and the romantic drama to give the important elements time to shine. The Wizards were used very chaotically in the first half of the season and nearly disappeared from the second half. The battle with the Major Fairies could have definitely used more space and better utilization of some of the fairies (aka Aurora). There was some good action but even that lacked logic at a lot of points. There was too much going on in terms of magical transformations in this season but that was balanced somewhat well and was probably the best done part of the whole season. I will never forgive the crime that killing off Nabu was because it was just unnecessary.

oh, kiss me under the milky twilight

lead me out on the moonlit floor

Masterlist

Word Count - 700

Genre - honestly, I’m not quite sure at this point

Warnings - pain desriptions

Synopsis - a young girl’s quirk manifests at school. how will such a fundamental part of life change her’s forever?

Author’s Note - and here it is, my debut fan fiction.

Half of my classmates’ quirks had already manifested. It was always really cool to see what different powers my friends ended up with, and I was super excited for mine to show up. Lucky for me, I didn’t have very long to wait.

It was a sunny September Tuesday, and I walked to school down the same city streets I always did, passing the toy store and the donut shop. I greeted my teacher before running over to my friends, who were chatting by the swing set. They turned to greet me as I approached.

“Hi, Neith-chan!” my friend Kiko called, making room next to her in the small circle of students. “Michiko-chan was telling us about what her brother did at the park yesterday.”

“Yeah, he jumped off the swing set!” Michiko chimed in. “It was from the highest point too. He almost looked like he was flying!” I could picture her brother soaring through the air, landing gracefully on the sand, and imagined what it would be like to fly. To feel the wind blow through my hair and to see the city blur under me. To be as free as a bird, as free as a butterfly, and to soar toward the heavens.

A sharp pain then flashed down my spine, and I gasped out in agony. My friends turned at the sound and noticed me doubled over in pain. I saw their mouths moving, but couldn’t make out the words through the dull ache fogging up my head. A loud tear managed to pierce the fog, and I felt a whisper of the light summer breeze across my back. I saw through my shadow a pair of large wings unfold behind me before two feathery antennae drooped in front of my eyes. The fog began to slowly clear, and the pain in my back reduced to a faint soreness. Was it over?

“They’re so pretty Neith!” Michiko squeaked, her eyes sparkling as she admired the wings which had newly sprouted from my back.

“You look like one of the fairies from the movie we watched last week,” Kiko added, also shiny-eyed over my new appendages. A crowd of my classmates was starting to form, and I saw my teacher come over to see what the commotion was about. She sighed in relief when she spotted me, probably glad no one had lost a limb in a quirk-fueled playground squabble.

Sensei raised her voice slightly to be heard over the oohs and ahhs of my classmate. “Well then Mochizuki-san, I suppose I should go call your parents. They’ll be excited to hear your quirk has manifested.” I smiled at that. At last, I had my quirk.

I had to go to the nurse’s office before class for “paperwork and a new shirt,” sensei had said, so I made my way down the colourfully painted hallways. As I opened the door, I caught sight of my reflection in the little mirror above the sink. Kiko was right - I did look like a fairy. The large tawny moth wings stretched above my head and looking behind me, I could see they barely reached my knees. I wondered if the same owl-eye pattens that graced papa’s wings were present, but I couldn’t see the inner side of my wings. The two antennae sprouting from my hairline were a similar tawny-brown shade and both about as long as my forearms. I heard the nurse stop in the doorway and turned to face her.

“Is everything alright miss?” I asked after an uncomfortably long moment. She appeared to snape out of a daze at my voice.

“Of course dear,” she replied. “Now let’s get started on that paperwork.”

The school day went by in a blur of happiness and the clatter of things being knocked off shelves and tables by my wings. The dismissal bell couldn’t have come sooner. I said hurried goodbyes to my friends and to sensei and started the journey back home. As I passed the donut shop, I wondered if mama would buy me one to celebrate my quirk manifesting. I skipped along the final few blocks to my house the phantom sweetness of sprinkles and frosting on my tongue. Walking up the winding driveway, I admired the dappled shadows cast by the grand trees flanking it. As I fumbled with my key, I wondered how my parents would react when they saw my wings. Surely they were as excited as me?

Note

About the dating thing... I've been a kpop fan since 2011, so for a good 9 years. And I followed other groups before BTS. At the beginning, my stance on dating was the same as yours (it still is!! but there is something I want to discuss, so please bear with me). Basically I was a Bigbang fan and GD had that Kiko dating rumor (they dated 100% xD), and I actually felt so sorry for Kiko because the girl got nothing but hate for YEARS. Then Taeyang married Min Hyorin and it wasn't a big deal at +

all, we were all so happy about it. I believe the way their relationship was presented to the public made the public accept it better, because it was kinf of a good guy-girl-next-door relationship, where she was his first gf and he dedicated one of the most iconic songs in kpop to her - eyes, noes, lips... Anyway, good times. :D I noticed, that over the years, I started calling dating a scandal too. I feel like - the more you get into this world, the more it drags you in and changes your perception on things. I don't know how to explain this well aghhh haha

Basically, I still feel like dating should be a normal thing and OFC no one shoul be bullied and no one's career should be ruined, that is just crazy. And no one should have to hide their relationship for years. But I think the problem lies with kpop itself and the way they market their artist. They market them as super dedicated, ain't nobody got time for love kind of people. The word idol in itself is problematic bcs an idol presents like a higher being, a perfect image everyone should look up to. Who they are as people is not separated from their job, rather it is used to draw people in and make them feel as close to the artist as possible. In the west you have Rihanna telling fans to f off when it comes to her personal life, in kpop you have artists apologizing for their personal life. I think it has a lot to do with the culture.

Keeping faces is very important in Korea. and they expect their celebrities to be "perfect" and crucify them when they do things all of them do, but they are not famous, so no one cares. It is hypocritical, but then the way that kpop is marketed makes it easier for me to understand it. It's like a vicious cycle. A lot of my friends, who are from the west and who have been fans for a while, got dragged into it. Just to clarify, no one ever followed anyone or bought information or anything like that nonono, but they've had this idol they "fell for" and it was really hard for them to deal with him having dating rumors, eventually they got over that and now they don't feel that way when there is a dating rumor. For me as well - I feel like I am a reasonable person, and I would NEVER insult anyone because they are dating someone, buy information, spread malicious rumors, start hating a person or drop a group because of the dating scandal. But, I was hurt when Jungkook's scandal happened and it was a really hard time for me and I would like to explain why.

I am a psychologist, so I am very in tune with why I am feeling a certain way. In that particular situation, there were a few things that made me feel that way - I was unhappy with my own life at the time, BTS used to be a safe heaven for me and it was the only thing in my life that hasn't changed for 7 years, I was jealous because we practically grew up together (I am the same age as Joon and Hobie), but my life sucks and they have everything going for them (love on top or a great career), and also... I've been supporting them for years bit I will never get to meet them. It is something I can't control and ot is out of my reach, while some people get to meet them just like that. But none of it is their fault. My image of them is not their fault, them succeeding faster then me is not their fault, them being happy while I am miserable is not a bad thing and so on. This is all on me, and I am aware of that. Still, I let myself feel those things, because putting them under a rug does nothing. I realized that I have to change some things and that it is really bad for my mental health. I realized that I should just ignore these "scandals" from now on and focus on the music and focus on myself more.

Anyway, I don't a lot of people are capable of realizing why they feel that way about these scandals - and as a psychologist and someone who struggles with anxiety and depression myself, I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry because and I can work on it. The next "scandal" is going to hurt me too, I know it, but since september, I've been working on it and I think it's going to be better this time and I will do everything in my power to not focus on it too much or obsess over it. I too judge people, but then I realize that it must be so hard for them as well. That DOES NOT give them the right to attack people or I don't know, burn stuff or smth. But I feel sad that they are not in tune with their feelings and that they can't turn away from this.

Sometimes I wish that I never got into kpop. Because for someone of my mental state, it is obviously not the best thing, but it is what it is now and I am working on it.I just feel for people who can't.Kpop will never change, it will always treat their artists as a product much more than in the west and it will always dehumanize them in a sense. I wish that would change so that people can get used to artist having a life off screen and focus on the music, but..

Wow. First of all, I’m so sorry that you’re having to struggle with your mental health so much; I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. With a person in this position, I can definitely see how easy it is to get sucked into a toxic mentality about your idols. The most important thing to remember is that as human as you are, idols go these struggles as well, if not magnified to a much greater extent due to pressures of the public. I’m glad that you’ve been able to identify your own issues and are working through them. Not many people can say the same, and I’m proud of you!

Thanks for sharing your perspective. :)

Visiting a place always leads us to another dimension of experience – the realm of AGRICULTURE! Commonly thought as could be a bland activity, this sector in the tourismsphere exposes visitors of the life we have before the flourishing of the urban zones – the simplicity of farm living. The Provincial Tourism Office of Pangasinan ramps up its activities to promote Agritourism, a tourism product that lets consumers experience first hand on the various procedures and processes done within a developed and accredited farm facility. From sowing seedlings to harvesting ripe produces, up to feeding the livestock and poultry, this activity would surely provide a learning experience to the visitors, and insights on giving importance on the undeniably crucial agriculture sector.

Also, Included in the itinerary set are three farms with diversified practices and improved processes:

FARMCRADLE, Balungao, Pangasinan

OUR FARM REPUBLIC, Mangatarem, Pangasinan

LOTUS VALLEY FARM, San Juan, La Union

Thank you to the Lakbay Norte 9, a five-day tour organized by the Northern Philippines Visitors Bureau, our batch was able to experience and understand, first hand, different farms in Pangasinan and La Union provinces.

If touring these facilities, I would recommend slathering on your sun-exposed skin with Belo Sun Expert Spray Mist to minimize the effects of sunburn.

These are the farms we are able to check and visit:

FARM CRADLE, Balungao, Pangasinan

Visiting this farm facility is an enriching experience, who would have thought from a bare parcel of land would emerge to a huge multifaceted agricultural facility, and now, a certified agritourism destination and TESDA certified educational facility too.

We are welcomed at their study hall where we are fed with our lunch and served our afternoon caffeine boost. Prior to the actual tour, Sir Tony Santos, Founder, welcomed the team and discussed the history and various activities of the farm. After, we are whisked around the farm through their golf cart rides, stopping on each section of their vast farm.

Things that I loved:

The Cute Bunnies

Feeding the rabbits

Rabbits are one of the live animals capable to be farmed due to its fast multiplication. They cultivated both of their meat and fur. I was excited to see their rabbitry and experience to feed the adult ones. We are also able to experience the young ones, Kaye was able to cuddle one young rabbit.

The OSTRICHES

Cute ostrich

Set in separate farmland, the ostriches are caged and fed in a spacious and airy spot. With enough space, you can actually interact with them but with extreme caution, as they have a powerful kick and strong pecks.

The CAMELS

Kiko interacting with a camel

One of the unique features of this farm, you can interact or go near with these creatures but be careful as they might munch on your hair. They a characteristic odor, and if you have some sort of an allergy, better not to go near.

The ATV RIDE

Maria enjoying the ATV

This farm is really vast and touring around while walking will consume much time. Thanks to their ATV ride, you can hop on different sections of the farm in style. Apart fr this, you can enjoy the farm tour riding a golf cart.

The KUBOTELS

One of the Kubotels

These are accommodations set for students of TESDA who are deployed on the farm. Sleeping on this traditional house type surrounded by farmland is a dream of every nature-lover traveler. Imagine waking up with the chickens and produces in just a few strides.

The HANDMADE PRODUCT LINES

Natural beauty products

Having different sections of the farms means varied products for consumers. Upon our entry, some of the products are already on display. There are lotions, candles, bath soaps, balms and many more.

For inquiries, contact Farmcradle at +63 917 1544 748 or email at [email protected]

OUR FARM REPUBLIC, Mangatarem, Pangasinan

Instragrammable!!!

Astounding on how this farm started, Farm Republic is one of the agritourism destinations I have enjoyed. The founder, Ms. Lea Soriano, previously from a corporate role, has decided to follow her heart for agriculture – and it seemed to be a noble calling for her. Looking at her achievement wall, the certificates she learned equate her devotion to the practice of agriculture. I was astounded on how she really poured her heart out on this. It is also inspiring to listen to her, that success on changing of career does not always end in futility, but with enough courage and sheer effort, surely success is on way.

Stuff I love

Buffet Lunch

Enjoyed these healthy servings of their lunch buffet

Prior we tour, a sumptuous lunch buffet is served using ingredients sourced no other than, within the farm. This is evidence of farm-to-table model. The majority of the ingredients making up their delectable dishes are sourced from the farm – talk about freshness and quality. Must try is their Flower Salad, and my favorite ingredient are the blue ternate flowers – known for its medicinal benefits.

Flower Salad – a must-try in Our Farm Republic

Discussion on concocting organic fertilizers

Their storage of different organic fertilizers

With the multiple varieties growing on the farm, adding certain fertilizers would increase the yield and having it in an organic way is an added plus. Munching on their product is indeed guilt-free.

Learned about Tandem Farming

different herbs

it is my first time to know about this practice. Planting together or beside each other with a herb or vegetable, the farm is able to enhance its pest protective effect.

The Fishpen

This beautiful cottage above the fishpen

Their fish pens are designed with a central island connected by steel footbridges over the actual freshwater pools, which not the same with the fish pens I saw with other farms.

Clean Pig Pens

No stench pig pens

Our common notion that having a piggery equates stench, but not for this farm. They have many pens with dry and clean soil, of course having less or no stench at all, hence, their pigs are thriving on a healthier and cleaner environment. You will pass by these pens during the guided tour and you will notice how clean and well kept they are.

Pick and Pay

Favorite part – the pick and pay

this is, of course, one of the favorite activities on a farm. There are baskets provided at the start of the tour, and you can pick on produce that your tour guide has allowed to. During our visit, there are heaps of java apples, florals, eggplants, and cherry tomatoes ready for harvest. At the end of the tour, you would pay depending on the actual weight of each product.

Continued Research and Development

Ms. Soriano’s heart is in continuing evidence-based procedures to increase quality yields thereby improving the lives of our farmers. Even of her innumerable certificates dangling on her walls, she never stops learning and never stops imparting the technique to students and her team members.

For inquiries, send them an email to [email protected] or SMS/call to +63 927 882 6005 | +63 947 853 2342 | +6394 550 08401

LOTUS VALLEY FARM

From once a basic terrain to a promising tourist destination featuring diversified neighboring forestry, bed-and-breakfast, and a wellness retreat, this is a huge project made possible by the team of Sir Toby Tamayo. A multilevel property complex composed of different sections, the plantations, the diversified forest, the open hall, the Kubo accommodations, and their private living space, all enclosed in a systematized and efficient system in harmony with nature’s liking, and supporting its thrusts to boost the contiguous biocapacity.

The almost 9-hectare land was bought last 2008 and currently features an astounding 77 varieties of native trees that invite almost 50 species of bird, which is identified by the UPLB. Because of his expertise in ecology, he planted almost a thousand trees during the initial year, and until such time letting birds and bats do the pollination and seed propagation.

He did not start with a clean slate, but on a land decimated by poor farming practices. Imagine the efforts he has to undertake to reverse the damage and bring back the life it has before.

What I love with the farm:

The Elegant kubo accommodation

One of the two native bamboo huts

Not your usual kubo huts, Mr. Tamayo had designed these huts with bamboo sourced within the farm and utilizing efficient architecture that flatters the eye, usage of space and function. He has stressed that harvesting bamboo poles at the right age would maximize its quality and strength. Set on a slope beside a diverse forest that gives off cooler air and retains more groundwater, experience a refreshing internal climate during your stay. The huts have installed lighting with proper luminance avoiding attracting many insects.

The Wellness Session

Music meditation (Photo: Benzi Florendo)

Ms. Marisa Tamayo, wife of Sir Toby, heads sessions on acupuncture and music meditation. We are able to experience music meditation while having our ears acupunctured.

The Detox Diets

Healthy Dinner Buffet (Photo: Benzi Florendo)

All of the dishes they served are plant-based and sourced locally – think of the freshness and nutrition it would bring to your plate. Not only that quality is topnotch, but taste and presentation too. Their Kare Kare is heaven on my tongue. I think I got more than 5 helpings of it – especially am not a pork eater, hence, totally guilty free meals here. I totally loved my dining experience – A for effort.

The “Forestry 101 Crash Course”

Sir Toby discussing the farm’s goals

As a commoner, we do not usually dive deep into understanding forestry matters. The majority might understand it as simply planting any sapling or seedling, wait for it to grow, and that’s it. With Sir Toby’s discussion about

The Open Air Hall

The stairway leading to the open hall (Photo: Benzi Florendo)

They built and designed an open-air high ceiling hall for their purpose and activities. This is where we had our acudetox and meditation sessions. Perched on a higher elevation, spectacular view of the property plus cooler fresh air are of the many things you will enjoy.

The Multilevel Garden

Sir Toby touring the team through his plantations.

Sir Toby toured us around the property and shared lots of insights with agriculture and forestry. I paid particular attention to how he mention always the coexisting of native species to amplify its long term positive ecological effects. In his multilevel garden, they are able to yield different produces, from soybeans to our samGy staple lettuces, they have it – note that they are grown and cultivated organically, and these go as well on the dishes they serve.

For inquiries, you can contact them at +63942 366 4519 or email at [email protected]

Elegant bamboo hut accommodation

For bed and breakfast reservation, you can check at AirBnB.

Truly, the tourism sector in the Philippines never stops evolving and developing over the years. There are always new and fresh experiences that would satiate the longing for adventure and break in the hustle-bustle stress in the urban zones. These farm owners are one of the forerunners in creating and developing these experiences ready for consuming at our convenience.

Our heartfelt thanks to these farm owners for giving us an opportunity to experience the other dimension of tourism – the more tranquil AGRITOURISM.
