TWO PROOFS OF THE FACT THAT WITCHES ARE CANONCALLY GOOD

first:

from @winxwiki post. here is their translation (i slightly edited it):

Cloudtower knows and researches evil: it (the school) takes advantage of the enormous energy to take it over and replace it, taking its disruptive force. Both schools (alfea and cloud tower) fight for the same end but in very different ways.

It means that they fight evil by controlling it rather than destroying it

second: (from s2ep16)

Unfortunately in the english dub she says otherwise:

which is a school where witches use magic to be destructive rather than do good

This is shameful! Cinelume dub is a mess in fact im making a compilation of most of their errors through season 2, which is the least faithful to the original dub.

in general think about it. witches are mostly never opponents of the winx, just in season 1 and season 6 (those girls were freshmen manipulated by the trix). In the rest of the cases they help the winx or are neutral (or get controlled). Ms. Griffin herself is a good person who likes to make pranks to the fairies, that's all.

Mirta & Lucy

[m-0-lly-x]

Mirta if she appears in Winx Season 6. Especially Bloomix is my fave transformation from season 5 onwards. Wings are challenging to design, but will consider drawing her in Enchantix and Believix form. Base by Eltarix.

Why Mirta is my favourite Winx Club character

I mean, the aesthetic helps. I like redheads and goths, which she is both of, also she has that black sleeveless top which seems to keep popping in my "literally me" characters (Susie from Deltarune, Dipper from Gravity Falls, and Hilda from Pokemon B&W)

So what do I see in Mirta?... Idk I like her ig, what? I don't have to have super well-thought opinions every time, she's just cool! And you know it!

But I guess a little extra analysis wouldn't hurt would it:

So as we all know, Winx Club's witches aren't the best. The show takes a very simplistic view that fairies are innately good, and witches are innately evil. This essentialist view has been critiqued extensively overtime and for good reason: it's a major missed opportunity to have such a narrow idea of what fairies and witches are, and also is just not very original. Witches and witchcraft in media have been portrayed extensively as just simply evil with no real explanation. Winx Club could have chosen to have taken a more interesting and original interpretation, but true to the shows mission statement of being brutally average, it doesn't. I've got some of my own ideas of how they could've handled this and I'll probably share those in a future post. But sufficed to say: Winx Club's witches are definitely a disappointment (for a more comprehensive look at witches, see Unicorn of War's video on YouTube about the subject).

But then we have Mirta, the one good witch supposedly. Bar the Trix, the ancestral witches, and maybe Griffin she's probably the most important witch in the show at least earlier on. The fact that she's actually different by being good invites intrigue to her character, she actually believes in something which is really quite cool and a nice standout amongst the rest. The Trix clearly are the mean girls in Cloud Tower with other witches wanting to be like them or to be friends with them. Lucy, Mirta's best friend, is in this camp and is disillusioned with her looks and supposed status and seeks to remedy this by trying to be more like the Trix. Mirta on the other hand doesn't follow this dogma and tries to convince Lucy to stay clear of them. This is great, though as I've said it would've been nice if the show portrayed witches more broadly as being a bit less black and white. Her assistance to the Winxes was cool too informing them of the Trix' plans and actions. Wow! Isn't that so awesome! She was shaping up to be an interesting and well-developed and fleshed out side character and then they remembered it was season 1 and that's illegal so they turn her into a pumpkin so they can forget about her. Why? Because fuck you! That's why! Though seriously, I don't mind in theory she was turned into a pumpkin but like really? She could've been a really fun part of the equation throughout the latter parts of season 1 as like the Winxes' witch counterpart. ALSO, when they bring her back to Alfea in pumpkin form, did they not think to like, ask Faragonda to turn her back? The Trix did the spell pre-dragonflame I highly doubt it's anything Faragonda or at the very least Griffin couldn't handle which I'd imagine they'd probably want to inform her of what'd happen considering she's one of her students?! Man if I was Mirta I'd be PISSED off. #JusticeForMirta. Eventually she's freed from her pumpkinhood and once season 1 concludes she decides to become a fairy and transfers to Alfea. Like with becoming a pumpkin: I don't hate that she does this on principle, but I do think it says a lot about how the show writes its witches that the one they make out to be good-natured ends up choosing to become a fairy. Like the view of fairies and witches is THAT rigid.

Though I also do think it's a fun transgender analogy, the idea of being able to transition from witch to fairy and vice versa. The 4Kids dub takes this idea much more seriously with Mirta being described as "transmagic" and Darcy also states "she claims to be fairy who just so be happened to be born in the wrong body", this appears to be a very intentional parallel to the "born in the wrong body" idea that is often used to explain what being trans feels like*, and this was back in 2007 for crying out loud. Additionally Mirta and Lucy are probably the closest thing the main show has to a queer couple, obviously not canon by any means, but they have a very strong bond and are shown to dance together at the end of season 2 (or was it 3 I forgot). Mirta therefore arguably has the most going for her out of any character when it comes to Queer representation.

*Just to be clear, I know plenty of trans people dislike and discredit the "born in the wrong body" narrative, I'm just pointing it out because it does seem this is what the scriptwriters were aiming for.

I like Mirta a lot because of what she could have been. I really think she's an awesome character who had a lot of potential to be fleshed out way more and serve a more involved role in her allyship with the Winxes in season 1 and beyond. It would've been so cool and she deserved way better. I imagine many would be wondering if I think she should've been part of the Winx as she's probably the second most commonly proposed member besides Roxy to be one, and the answer to that is fairly definitive no. Six to me has always felt like a natural limit for these kinds of groups, any more and it starts to be a bit much, which is why I'm glad Roxy didn't become a proper part of the group when season 5 came around (though she still deserved more than what she got). Simply adding Mirta the Winx would ignore the problem that she doesn't get fleshed out enough as a character. Maybe it could've worked in some alternate timeline but she could've been a useful asset to the Winx and the show as a whole whilst not necessarily being a member.

So that's why I like Mirta, she's a fun character who I will defend that she should've gotten more until the day I die. This gay little goth redhead has been my favourite for a long time and I don't see that changing any time soon. Keep stanning Mirta people.

P.S: I really didn't expect this post to get this long LOL I genuinely was gonna post just the "idk I like her" bit and then move on but I was like "ehh, I'll write a little bit" and then I spent 2 hours writing way this whole thing it's 3am I need spiritual assistance okay BYE.

Whenever I can make a Mirta fanart, I will.

Mirta is one of the most wronged sorry for bad english secondary characters of all time.

She literally wanted do be a fairy because she was too good to be a witch; and on the nexts seasons she turns just a extra... What a waste.

And I hope the Winx Club reboot will can fix her participation on the series. She should be a protagonist too! Mirta is so interesting!

Some of my Favorite Winx Club ships (cannon and non cannon)

Cannon: 1: Musa/Riven (Rivusa)

#1 Rivusa defender even whilst being 6 feet under in my grave. These two have ALWAYS been my fav couple (even when I was lil kid.) I just love them so much. Sure, they had their bad times but they've also had plenty of good ones too. I'm going to stop myself there because if I type any further about these two I'm going to end up making this post much more longer than it needs to be😭

2: Flora/Helia (Floreila)

If I don't have a relationship like Flora and Helia's then I don't want it. Seriously, these two are so adorable. Helia literally worships the ground Flora walks on. Their relationship is so healthy and just overall green flags everywhere. And back in s2 when they were crushing on each other was the cutest omg, they're both so pure and full of love.

3: Stella/Brandon (Brella)

The trust that these two have for each other in this relationship is so beautiful. Brandon and Stella compliment each other PERFECTLY. They both would sacrifice themselves at any costs for each other. They have such a beautiful and selfless bond, always willing to protect one another.

Non cannon: 1: Musa/Layla/Aisha (Soundwave)

Layla had a big fat crush on Musa during seasons 2-3, and NO ONE will EVER change my mind. I already hc Layla as a lesbian too (don't get me wrong her and Nabu were awesome but I think that they'd be better off as friends/a platonic pairing. )They'd both be such a healthy couple and they had soo much chemistry. They'd both be extremely supportive of each others goals and dreams. They were literally each other's comfort person throughout s2-3. They care about each other so much. Plus, we need more POC wlw representation in media.

2: Lucy/Mirta (Unsure of their ship name)

They're gfs your honor, that's all I have to say.

3: Faragonda/Griffin (Unsure of their ship name)

WIVES.

4: Palladium/Avalon (Unsure of their ship name 😭)

They had more chemistry than Bloom and Sky ever did 🙄(Sorry, not sorry Bloom/Sky shippers) Also, idgaf what the comics say yall.

[drops-of-moonlights]

The other revelant supportive fairies and witches, redesigned for who knows which time! Small tibdits below because at this point y'all know them lmao. Mirta, Lucy, Galatea, Krystal, Selina!

Mirta Owain: we know her, we love her, I kept her as a witch through and through! Not much to say about her, her power of Illusions comes from mixing her primary Darkness with Light and Water to create various optical effects and visions. She also still loves pumpkin as a food despite having been turned into one, which tends to unnerve some people lol.

Lucy Wisternia: Mirta's taller gf, we also know her well! She grows enough later on to be forwarded by Griffin herself as a potential new teacher in CT if she so chooses. Her Fauna Source was honed and focused in any small invertebrate that can be classified colloquially as an insect or bug, so it expands to arachnids and some shellfish, like shrimp. She has a particular fondness for bettles, though.

Wenbai Galatea: the current princess of Melodeus! She still has 5 years or so left since reelections for a new monarch happen again. I've decided to make her albino as well. Her power of Vibrations is from her Metal Source, aided by Sound and Wind.

Krystal Rosalinda de los Árboles: Princess of Linphea, Helia and Flora's childhood friend, the one that makes them come to their senses when fighting. She's still the Fairy of Aromatherapy, which here means her main Healing Source is aided by bits of Flora, Fauna and even Poison.

Selina Harlock: I DON'T THINK I NEED TO SAY ALL THAT MUCH, SHE'S SELINA, WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER LMAO. Currently in jail for another couple months, she MIGHT appear in AUS8? Still not fully on the details yet but we'll see. Her Witch of Fungi comes from her primary Poison Source, which extends to small bits of Flora and Fauna Sources in line with how WEIRD mushrooms are in general when it comes to these sorts of classifications.
