[thebunniesgrim]

I'm gonna talk about blizto again (its negative and my opinion)  

In my last Blizto post (shameless plug. Also, I was kinda right about Fizz forgiving him. I'm a prophet ) I listed why I didn’t like blizto but now... 

I feel no sympathy towards Blizto  

nothing!  

Is it just me?   

Frankly I feel nothing towards him  

(you know I visibly frown when he shows up screen sometimes and I have to like catch myself like hey he's the main character dumb dumb he’s going to be on screen lol)  

Now this could because bilzto isn't my type of character you know? When I was younger, I always avoided mean characters or main characters I've always picked side characters or other side main Characters over the main important character for instance I never liked Steven from Steven Universe, but I liked Garnet and Peridot. I hated Twilight (mlp) as kid and don’t get younger me started when she became a princess, I was so unhappy. I wanted Rarity or Fluttershy to become a princess not her. I never cared for Bloom from Winx's club, but I did like Aisha and Stella.  

And to be fair when I got past my hate boner, I grew to tolerate them, but I’ve never rolled my eyes as much as I do with blizto  

And it’s not like I don’t like mean characters I'm a villain girly all the way I like Loona’s bully in Queen Bee Vicky.

I like striker, and I also think Stella is the tiniest bit funny (I don’t condone what she does obviously but like you know when she's on screen I'm not bored) when I was obsessed with Danganronpa I loved Byakuya, Nagito, and Kokichi I also liked Celestia, Mondo, Fuyuhiko, Hiyoko, yada yada. When I was over the moon about black butler I love Alois, Claude, William and so on. I love a good mean character  

but that being said

I don’t care about him at all and I like Stolas (sometimes) I feel bad for him (sometimes) but anytime Blizto has his sad woe is me moments (I mean Stolas does this too and I have my grievance with him of course but like this isn't about him lol) like him crying on the couch at the end of Ozzie's, him crying on the couch at the end of Queen Bee, his trip in Truth Seekers, his mom dying, or his sister hating him. My face is bone dry but helluva has never made me cry so...  

I also think that the reason I have a hard time sympathizing with him is because of how blizto (and stolas) never really have a moment where they’re forced to face the consequences of their actions every problem is solved, forgotten or put on the back burners to be solved through text.  

No, I'm not letting that go screw you >:( 

Stolas literally gets hospitalized and is fine an episode later yeah, no that’s fine. No need to look into that. No need to really sit and let that stew for minute. That’s not important or anything. No need to get Biltzo’s view on this or anything    

It's like that "Sunny meets Twilight" video on YouTube 

“Every villain converted, every problem friendshiped within a half hour. it got so peaceful we were literally making up fake friendship problems just to not go fucking insane”  

Not to mention most of his sad feel bad for me moments are like his own fault. There's self-sabotage and then there's this:  

like him being sad that Barbie doesn’t want him in her life and him being all ‘:(’ and I was like yeah, no shit idiot. She most likely has told him to leave her alone more than once, the rehab nurse said not look for her, didn’t tell you she left rehab, and she was hard to find online obviously she doesn’t want you in her life what’s not clicking smart guy?  

No honestly what did he expect to happen? Her to just well up with tears and hug him? Not to mention she lost her job because of him granted she would have lost it regardless because her plug was a target by IMP but still. That also added salt to the wound.  

Blitzo is like wow my feeling are hurt in ways I could have avoided how could this have happened?  

His whole thing at Ozzie's. he could have just said nothing and let Moxxie get picked on. You know I don’t even know why he stood up for them in the first place. Is that not out of character or him? Like he will take almost any opportunity to shit on moxxie what changed now? and it isn't like a ‘only I can pick on him thing’ he lets Loona make fun of him, let striker, and Millies family pick on him I mean come on he even joins in. What changed that made him want to stick up for the M&Ms? Other than narrative push also he knows Versoiska and Fizzarolli are in Ozzie’s 2 people he hates 2 people he has beef with why are you speaking? He could have saved his little crying session if he didn’t say anything. (This also goes for Queen bee as well. Honestly the whole queen bee problem could have been avoided if blitzo kept his mouth shut)  

Also how did he and stolas even get in? Moxxie had to wait for almost a year or so for seats to Ozzie’s because it’s always booked... also it must cost a little money to go realistically speaking and it's not like Stolas paid or even got them seats because Stolas didn’t even know they were at Ozzie's to being with. This whole episode shouldn’t have even happened from a continuity standpoint because Stolas and Blizto shouldn’t have been able to get into Ozzie's in the first place! Lol

Blitzo when something goes wrong after he literally caused it or could have avoided it by shutting up for 5 minuets:  

His trip and his mom dying are stuff that aren't completely his fault as mom dying was an accident and his trip was just his inner dialog  

so like 1st of all this mom dying thing didn’t work like Moxxie's did we didn’t get to see a flashback of her being motherly or whatever like we did with Moxxie's mom we saw Moxxie's mom being protective, and caring for him and all that jazz 

all we know is just that yup that’s a mom and she’s dead now.  :D

Speaking of dead moms. I'm about to get really heartless

Honestly the fact that Blizto made Fizz’s back story about him really irked me. Fizz is like yo, you almost ruined my life and Biltzo is like yeah that’s sad and all, but my mom died :/  

Ok? Like? Fizz lost all his arms, legs, and horns and could have had his whole career as an entertainer ripped from him but yeah, your mommy died so sad  

I understand it was to show his perspective but felt kind of one up-ish, no?  

“I lost my arms and legs in a fire you started”  

“Yeah, but my mom died” –looks around for validation-  

Like yeah apologize for starting the fire but like what does your mom have to do about this? This isn't about her, ok? You nearly killed him! Focused on that babe  

Im sorry but can you imagine you losing your limbs in a freak accident you though was orchestrated by an ex best friend. Then when confronted by it they're like "yeah but my mom died" 

I'm sorry if I sound cruel or whatever but like really?  

This isn't about her. I'm sorry... I don’t know if you’ve noticed but one of us here has robotic attachments to help them function after a fire one of us caused (albeit on accident but I don’t know that yet)  

Yeah, no I was just nearly burned alive and had to endure the feeling of my skin melting off my bones for however long it took for someone to find me and take me to the hospital on my birthday. Go through whatever surgeries, and physical therapy to get better, get robotic attachments so I could still perform and function better, and get use to not having my limbs and coming to terms with my new normal and the fact that my old best friend started this whole thing in the first place (albeit on accident but I don’t know that yet) and didn’t visit me or apologize in 15ish years because of an unknown 3rd party

But yeah, your mom died  

So sorry about that  

What? This isn't about her! Why are you bringing this up? I'm sorry your mom and my limbs can't be here today but what does your mom have to do with my limbs getting seared off? Nothing? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Way to use your mom to soften the blow of you being the literal cause that I am now an amputee (albeit on accident but I don’t know that yet)  

Nice going dude real nice  

like this not the way of the platypus

Other than the fact that imps aren't immune to hell fire in the first place doesn’t make any sense to me but that’s not important at the end of the day now, is it? No, it's not  

Um...  

heh

Anyways...  

His trip was just eh for me I really didn’t care  

Also why didn’t Barbie show up in blizto’s trip or even a cameo or something? Like I know some people are gonna be like ‘well those were romantic and sexual relationships’ and yeah sure.  

That's it. I don’t have a comeback for that lol  

To be fair a good amount of Helluva boss characters are unsympathetic but there are characters I sympathize with even if said characters that don’t necessarily have a lot to sympathize with like Asmodeus I feel bad that Fizzarolli wakes him up with an air horn sometimes  

The only time I've sympathized with Blizto was when he was getting the shit kicked out of him by Loona and that’s only because the only character, I dislike more than Blizto is Loona  

(a lot of people who are critical of Loona are like “Blizto deserves better” or “Loona doesn’t deserve Bilzto” and honestly, I kinda agree but at the same time it seems like they deserve each other lol)  

Everyone is like complaining that Loona isn't getting lines or any screen time but I'm over here like 

Uh  

But yeah, that’s all :) 

[floralovebot]

i kinda really hate it when people say the later seasons feminized musa cause like... they did... but they also didn't? like yes musa does wear outfits that can be seen as more masculine and she doesn't "act" super feminine, at least not in the ways that the other winx (minus tecna) do. but also... her wearing loose jeans isn't like. Not feminine. her having a more laidback personality isn't Not feminine. her not caring about fashion or makeup to the levels that the other winx do (or at all) isn't Not feminine.

i mean if we're talking about fashion specifically, her first transformation literally has her in a skirt and thigh high boots. her first formal outfit may have been pants but the entire look together is very *feminine*. in the same first season she's seen in another dance outfit that includes a longer skirt! not to mention the s2 club dress... the eraklyon formal dress... the s2 formal dress... her enchantix... hell even her swimsuit which was a literal bikini

like... musa was never Not feminine (that was really more tecna's thing and even then she wasn't against it either). there's nothing wrong with seeing musa as more of a tomboy or wanting her to be less traditionally feminine than the other girls, but acting like she was ever against femininity goes against so much of what the show was about and what the show did. i get that the later seasons have horrible designs (they do!!) but them adding more pink and dressing her up in dresses and skirts constantly was something that happened to all of them, not just musa. (you could literally use the same arguments to say that bloom was a tomboy who was horribly feminized by the evil pink corporations. like dude)

i don't want anyone to think i'm like headcanon policing here but if you genuinely think they Feminized her, why do you think she wasn't feminine before? why do you think she would be against femininity? why do you assign femininity to things like clothing and personalities? why do you think musa's trouble with finding herself and chasing her dreams also translates to being against femininity? why do you think musa, who has always been shown to be comfortable with feminine wear, is actually super against it, wouldn't be comfortable with it, and was outright forced to do it. why do you take this character, who has always been very assured in her own style and comfort and knows what she's comfortable with and what she isn't, and just go "no she hates being feminine".

all of the winx girls are so healthy when it comes to individual style and knowing what they're comfy with and not and that's so important for young girls to see!! there is 100% a place for women who don't enjoy dressing or "acting" feminine, but winx was all about uplifting femininity and making sure young girls were proud to be girls and didn't shy away from feminine things because it's "too girly". and if you're really looking for that character, tecna is the Best example of one who wasn't overly feminine and tended to dress in that more "masculine" way (and who also got Very Badly feminized by the later seasons). but i just don't think musa is that No Femininity Allowed tomboy that a lot of people think she is.

[winxngasks]

After doing all the redesigns I did for the canon Winx Club characters, I wanted to get started on some redesigns/reworks for my main universe next-gen kids! It has been a long time since I last worked with any of them, and with some of my current ideas for both them and their parents, I thought it would be for the best if I gave them some updates. Starting with my main fairies for now.

Also, if you follow any of my other blogs then you already know that I have been having so much fun making my characters in this super cute picrew! Since I thought making them in it would be easier for testing out their new designs before I actually draw them, I went ahead with making my main girlies. More details about their new designs below!

- Jasmine(daughter of Bloom and Andy): Not much about her is changing about her, besides a slightly different hairstyle(still relatively the same though) and different placement for her mole. Kept her same colors, but changed her eye shape since she is mixed race. Her outfits have always given me the hardest time since I could never find something that looked good on her or matched her interests, but I imagine she would be into the denim-look like her mom. Her outfit here is different than what I imagine, but for her I’m thinking of giving her either a jumpsuit or shorter romper, with possibly a short jacket over it and simple black boots.

- Becca(daughter of Stella and Brandon): Not much will change about her too, besides possibly a slightly different hairstyle. Her skin will be a darker tan color now to better match with her parents, and like both of them I gave her a small smattering of moles across her body. Her outfit would probably stay relatively the same as well, with the new addition of earrings and possibly sheer tights added under her skirt.

- Terra(daughter of Flora and Helia): The biggest difference for her is giving her more of a thick/chubby figure like her mom. Changed her hair color(again lol), with this one being a mix of her beta design’s light brown color and her current design’s dirty blonde color, with it now having a tiny bit of a pink tint. She is going to have a slightly updated outfit, with the main idea I was considering was giving her a flower crown, as she is the Fairy of Flowers.

- Maddy(daughter of Musa and Riven): Honestly the one that is changing the least, mainly because her design was always one of my favorites, and I already sort of updated her for the AU next-gen universe. The main change here is her wearing her hair down more, with a slightly updated outfit.

- Ellie(daughter of Tecna and Timmy): Gave her a paler skin tone and added a few freckles on her face(to match a little more with her dad). The usual updated outfit, but the biggest change I toyed around with was giving her a prosthetic arm. I’m not sure why/how she would have it yet, or if I will go through with giving it to her, but I thought it could add some visual interest to her design and story potential for her character, too.

- Cloe(daughter of Layla and Nabu): She also isn’t changing much besides a slightly darker skin tone and updated outfit. The biggest difference I gave her here was a shorter hairstyle, mainly because I couldn’t give her her exact hair-length in the picrew, but I also think it looks super cute on her and adds a little contrast between her and the other girls.

Ranking the girlies wings up to Harmonix: 🧑‍💻 Tecna 🧑‍💻

1) Magic Winx

It physically pained me to pick between Tecna's magic Winx and her Enchantix wings but her Magic Winx wings edged out the win for being just so fucking interesting and cool. Her fucking glider??? The Believix wings size never bothers me because the smaller wings don't look like they actually be able to make someone fly, but the glider just side steps this competely. It's magic. She had a techno magic glider that springs from two cool electrical prong looking things on her back. Fuck you. She's thee Tecna of Zenith motherfucker. You wish you were as cool as her

Her wings literally have an on and off form, she's perfect, I love her

2) Enchantix

I LOVE THESE!!! Listen, listen, listen. It both keeps the Enchantix wings aesthetic, while making sure that Tecna's weird girl interesting wings theme going but just not giving her bottom wings??? I love it??? I love her???? The only thing is that her wings and outfit are the same color of purple, there's no other colors in her wings. But they're so well shaped and the dangly bits are so well added. I love her, these wings look so good on her. Early seasons Tecna is never caught slipping on her weird girl shit. Bless

3) Sophix

Her lower wing is now actually a wing!

Tecna's Sophix definitely fixes her Believix wings. Which is not of the only nice things I will say about it because it commits Tecna magic form skirt crimes. I think if they tilted her top wings up more, and made the lower wing's longer but still really skinny (with membranes, like Tecna's Sophix) it would look so much better, and not like they were trying and failing to copy her Enchantix, while still keeping Tecna's very important weird girl enegry

4) Lovix

It doesn't have her Believix wings gradient, so it's FINE. It's boring but isn't ugly, so it goes here. Completely inoffensive

5) Believix

OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT GRADIENT????

When Believix fails it fails fucking hard, why would they make that gradient. Do they not like Tecna or something??

Also the only two little stiff parts of her bottom wing with no membrane thing looks bad. I'm so sorry, it just does. It just makes her wings look unfinished. They could of done a different thing to make her wings suitably weird girl instead of Enchantix "fuck with her bottom wing" but worse, but I do have to respect the attempt of commiting to her vibe properly

6) Harmonix

There's barely a passing refrence to Tecna's weird girl aesthetic. "Oh her wings are all pointed up, and curved at the bottom. Her wings are the most unique. That's enough, especially after all of her wings commit so strongly to being very personalized to Tecna, and distinctly being weird." I hate you samey Nickelodeon aesthetics, die a thousand deaths

This is a personal insult to Tecna and all of her wings before now

My thoughts while watching

Fate: The Winx Saga Season 2

Ok, so I had NO intention of watching this. I mean the show was a mess, the characters sucked, the story was barely passable, and it was just bad. The only reason I decided to watch this was because of Flora. She was my favorite character as a child, and I was genuinely curious. I didn’t NOT like it, is all i’m saying. I will say though, that the story felt just as loose and strange as the first season. So structure-wise, not much changed. However, the characters are OODLES more likeable. and the friendship between the girls this season felt genuine. but to be fair, the bar was in he!! so… let’s get into it:

Bloom. She was great. My biggest complaint about the last season was that it felt like the show was basically “Bloom and her sidekicks” but this season felt so much more balanced. Her arch was a little wobbly, but still strong. And fvck it, i’m GLAD she killed Rosalind. someone needed to put that b!tch down fast cause the way that woman so got on my NERVES?! Her relationship with sky was actually quite heartwarming. it wasn’t my favorite coupling in the show, and had its bumps, but i found it really nice to seem then on screen together. they really fit. So yeah. Bloom gets a 7.5/10

AISHA GOT A STORY LINE. Of course it was about a boy, cause this is a dark teenage netflix drama but at least it was something. The serious lack of POCs in this show in season one was staggering, so I was hoping for something, ANYTHING. She really proved to be the backbone of this group. Her and the boy were cute. i don’t really have any strong opinions about grey. His lil “blood witch reveal” was unsurprising and basic, cause he was just too nice. But whateva. i liked her water wings, i think (spoiler alert). a little wonky, but better than stella’s [hottake].

I loved Stella. One of my favorite characters this season. She felt so real and genuine compared to last season. Her character arch is really good, and i loved the moments between her and Beatrix. Speaking of Beatrix…

BEST CHARACTER THIS SEASON. I don’t give a shit if she’s playing for both teams. She does what she can to stay alive. Girly lost EVERYTHING. Truly no one had it quite as bad as she did, she was literally in the trenches. I really could not help but applaud everything she did, i did not care. Cause that self preservation mode was on HIGH. and i would have done the same damn thing if I was in her shoes. and then her ending?! Netflix clearly not seeing heaven for that.

Musa’s storyline was so powerful. In the second half more so than the first. No hate on sam, he aight. but i have no strong feelings towards him, and i think he needed to go in order for musa to go on the path she did. the way the explored her relationship with her powers was *chefs kiss*. i wanna see more of it next season. her and riven’s chemistry was really good. I can’t wait to see what they do with that as well.

Terra is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than she was before, and not just because of her lil rainbow reveal ;). She felt like more a part of the group, but her character arch felt natural. In season one, she was very pushy, very annoying, and could be condescending at times. And the thing is, she’s STILL LIKE THAT. But it’s so clear that she’s grown and matured since the last season, and i so love that. also her and that specialist have my entire heart, they were so precious.

Flora didn’t really do much for me. At first, I thought they just added her for that extra poc on screen (netflix is def not above that). But near the end of the show, her character kind of sat right with me. Especially when she sacrificed herself?! The sympathy pains were strong on that one. So, high hopes for her future.

Kay, this is getting a lil lengthy. so let’s do a lightning round:

Riven: I like him so much more, he’s definitely less of an asshole then before

Sky: Skmilar to Beatrix, he kind of went through a lot and lost basically everything by the end; would have liked to see a bit more of an ending for him, but they only had so much time.

Dane: Dane can get a review when Dane comes back with a storyline.

Andres: the only thing i felt when he died was pity for beatrix, like he was so useless.

Rosalind: Piece of actual shit with a black conscious, no morals, and literally no endgame?! like all that mysterious build up just to end up six feet under. rip, rest in pain

Terra’s dad: don’t even care enough to remember his name, but are we all just gonna accept the fact that he left his freakin 16/17 year old daughter by herself at a school with an evil headmaster and freaking evil blood witches on the loose?! make it make sense plz

ok i’m done. that was draining. read my First Season Review if you want

tldr - better than the first season imo. still no sign of tecna tho

[bloom-agreste-cheng]

Enchantix

Ok so they finally released the new Enchantix. And I have mixed feelings. I do understand that this is a kid’s show and it is not aimed at me, an OG fan now who’s nearly graduating university. So please don’t yell at me. However I can’t help analyzing the two versions of the transformation side by side. I will say what I don’t like about the new version and say what I do like about it. But overall, I will accept the change Winx Club is going through. Overall, I don’t mind the new Enchantix it’s just that the look got a lot more pink and censored. Makes me wish that manip of the new Enchantix, months before it was released, was legit.     

BLOOM

OK…Bloom. Her Enchantix was the one I was most excited about because she did not have any planet to save in season 3. So I was quite excited when she finally earned it. And I was a bit shocked to see the changes she now went through.The more I stare at her, the more differences I see. I think the thing that bothers me most is the pink in her new Enchantix. As well as the new flowers and severe lack of green I her outfit. Even her blue has become a bit boring to look at. In the original her blues changed from ruffle to ruffle. Like it went from blueish, green, cyan color to a lighter blue as the ruffles went down. Now the first ruffle is pink. As for her wings, they look less like butterfly wings and are more rounded. What I do like about her new look is are the added layers to the ruffles. The last two ruffles of her new Enchantix look less revealing which makes me quite happy, I always got worried we’d endup seeing her fanny because of that short skirt. Now it’s longer and fluffier. I am also quite happy that they kept her hairstyle the same and it also looks a bit longer than it was originally. The blue is also the original light cyan blue that Bloom originally had in the first years. It’s been so many transformations since her original light cyan blue. Honestly, it’s the pink that upsets me the most about this new form, and the cyan blue looking just blue instead of green-ish blue. But other than that, she looks virtually the same as before. Oh yeah and the flowers that are added, I didn’t like that very much.

Tecna

I am not very sure how I feel about her new look. The entire point of her Enchantix was to show her change from an emotionally repressed girl to a powerful woman comfortable with her feelings, vulnerable and open to them. I think what upsets me the most about her new look is that her outfit is very censored. The outfit looks like a fucking swimming suit and less like a dress. It’s the green leafy stuff on the shorts, they used to be longer and made the whole ensemble look like a dress. Her purple gloves don’t upset me as much but I did wish they stayed electric blue. And most importantly, her hair. I always knew they were going to cut it shorter than it was, they always did that for Tecna; keep her hair short. And I was right, her hair know looks a bit like a pixie cut. Only a smidge longer, like you can see that liitle tail of hair at the back of her hair. Her hair used to be longer. Like in the original design, it use to be waist long. And over time, it gets shorter and shorter, and I am upset. But it’s OK. I am not the one designing her. But there I things I LOVE about the new look. Look closely at her choker and you’ll notice the original vial is gone, and it its stead, red tear drop gems. I thought that was an interesting new addition to her Enchantix. I think it’s bloody brilliant and inspiring. And have you seen her WINGS? They’re so much more beautiful and colorful than they ever were. I think that is my favorite part of her look. Personally, despite her hair which had always been my favorite part of her Enchantix, I ironically think her look is my second favorite and I don’t always pick Tecna. Also is it just me or do her new wings look bigger than before.

Flora

Flora’s look has got to me my least favourite because hers has changed the most between all six. In the original, I thought she looked like a powerful nature goddess-nymph with the big butterfly wings, her elongated hair and the new colors added to her outfit. With the new Enchantix, she’s kind of like Bloom except she’s pinker than blue. All the green in her look was taken away which upsets me. She even has ruffles in her skirt and I hate it. She looks like a Barbie fairy of or something. I almost did not notice the yellow in her wings. I will say though that her wings, although smaller, have retained the exact same shape as before. I also like how the top part, although different in colors now, still looks the same. But overall with her, I am quite unhappy with her look.

Musa

Ok Seriously, Musa’s look is by far my number one favorite. Her Enchantix doesn’t just look the original, it’s an improvement. I seriously love it. But first I want to switch it up ere and start with I don’t like. The yellow ribbons that used to be on her chest are gone. I am upset about that. They were fun to stare at; they used to wave around majestically in the wind and they took that away. Her gloves, I can’t exactly say what color they used to be because I am not sure, but they are definitely different. They look like a salmon color now and I don’t like it. And her tiara, was it always completely golden or..? I am not too sure about the tiara and it’s bugging me. I don’t understand why. And finally, it’s censored; her stomach is censored and that pisses me off. But that’s the same with everyone. Ok, now for the good part, there’s so much I love about her look. Obviously there’s her hair, it looks exactly the same, maybe a bit fluffier. Hey, they even let her keep the highlights. The strap from her original dress changed spot and it is now crossing her chest; I’m loving it, it looks fantastic. And ooh, the red strap connecting the top of her dress and skirt is just like Layla’s Winx. Her look keeps getting better and better. Suddenly I don’t mind that they censored her stomach. And finally, the poufy skirt. When Musa first got her Enchantix, I was a bit horrified and honestly wanted to laugh at the poufy skirt. I always thought it was a medieval minstrel’s poufy short and I just couldn’t take her seriously despite her status. Now her wings. I will admit, I never understood why they made her wings yellow in the first place. Her new wings with the red shape and the yellow, blue and pink interior looks SO much better. Overall, I love her new Enchantix.

Stella

Overall, I think I am ok with it. Stella’s Enchantix was originally quite the hype back then. Like she’s the first Enchantix fairy you saw in the theme song and it looked amazing and exciting. So now that it’s been redesigned, I kind of stopped caring about her. Because seriously, it does not look better than the original. The original was better. It was sexier. If you look around there was a fan art of Enchantix in the new style featuring the original Enchantix outfit. That looked better than the new style. Nothing really jumps out for her new outfit. Actually… Her new outfit looks like a short Mexican party dress. It’s the skirt. The new skirt changed the whole look. I gotta be honest, I love the added petals in her skirt. I was always worried about how skimpy the original skirt was. Now it has layers. It still has the original color and it has layers like Bloom’s dress. In all seriousness though, Stella’s look is the least changed. Except for the big pink star in her chest in the new form.  If that’s supposed to be the replacement for her fairy dust vial, it’s not a success. The separated straps from her original dress was better than the converging ones from the new one IMO. I also don’t particularly like how her stomach is covered and the blue, intertwining ribbons have changed into just one ribbon. Also am I looking at her wrong or are her wings smaller? I said I was going to mention something good right? I love her wings, they look almost unchanged, although they look rounder. That’s gotta be my favorite part of her new look If I spent more time analyzing the looks, I’d be here forever.

Layla/Aisha

Sigh……Part of me is a little mad about her look. It’s because it confuses me so much. I do not know what to think of it… I’ve made up my mind. I definitely don’t like it. It’s fairly different from the original, in colors and in design and it’s seriously pissing me off. Her outfit and her wings keep changing. Actually it’s mostly the outfit. When she first earns Enchantix, it’s blue, green, yellow and pink. Dominantly blue. Then after Bloom earns her Enchantix, it switches to dominantly green, with pink and yellow. Now it’s dominantly pink with some green and small specks of purple. Seriously, they made her girlier than she originally was. She’s not the strong, sporty, rebel fairy princess I used to know and love. I think that’s what makes me so mad about her new look. When I see ENchantix, all I see are powerful, savior fairies. It started with Layla. She and Stella are the ones who began that trend and to see her lose the original meaning of Enchantix and looking like a little girl pisses me off. So overall, I don’t like her new look. Too much pink, too girly, and too childish. And I do not like it.

So in retrospect, I will have to admit, I do not like it at all. Ok not too much. I still like it a little bit. But not too much. I’m a sentimental so I’m always going to prefer the original. For all six of them.

Underrated show: Winx Club

1. This is one of the most feminist kids shows that existed at the time. Yes they had damsel in distress moments, but who saved their butts? Usually themselves or their friends. They saved themselves. They knew what they were capable of doing and foiled almost every single evil plan those witches had for them. They might have relationships with people but they don't depend on their man to do everything. Men were accurately depicted with the ability to be two-faced or be a double agent. Obviously not all men on the show were like that, but they made it obvious to viewers that you can't trust people off the bat and not all knights in shining armorare heroes.

2. Diversity. Almost all ethnicities are shown in the OG Winx Club. Musa- clearly Asian. Flora- some form of African or African American. Then in later seasons they added Layla, with all of her natural, curly beauty. Representation matters.

3. It had a decent plot. Even in the comic versions, they are discovering themselves and taking down the Trix with beautiful story arcs emphasizing friendship and self confidence.

Also shout out to my one friend who was shamed for watching this when he was younger because he is a guy and this was a "girly" show. He is definitely one of the best people I know and in general an amazing human being. I'd rather have a guy friend who watches "girly" shows and shows the world all the kindness and goodness out there rather than 10 guy friends who treat people like items and trash and don't even respect themselves properly.

Do you have HC's on how the boys would react to the Winx getting hurt in a fight?

Oooo, yeah. I'm under the assumption that the girlie have returned injured, and not there getting hurt in front of the guys lol

Sky: lmao panic central. Not has hard as some of the other people on this list, but he's very anxious about Bloom. He kinda just hovers over her. If she's just kinda injured or very injured he reacts the same exact way but more. He hovers and worries, and hovers some more. I pity any doctor that has to deal with him. Everything is now worth arguing about, and getting every single detail. Did I mention hovering? He's a little overprotective. Brandon probably ends up getting called at some point (if he's not dealing with someone else of equal or more importance) to help him worry in a more helpful way, Brandon is used to this

Brandon: Listen, he's not up in arms. He was aware that Stella was in the combat track at Alfea when he started dating her. This is pretty expected all things considered. He reacts about the same if one of his teammates got injured. Assess the injury, make them comfortable, handle anything they can't. His reaction tends to proportional to Stella's. If Stella is laughing about it and cracking jokes, then he's not going to act very seriously. If she's crying and shaken, then he's more gentle and attentive. I'm basing his mind set off my mom who doesn't freak out about things bc "what's freaking out going to help?", he's very much the same way. On top of that, him freaking out could make Stella freak out more, and he'd hate to deal with that. If Stella's really injured he takes it with about as level head as he can...and mostly stress takes care of literally anything he can think of because sitting next her and being sad while she heals doesn't help anything. Tries to stay slightly more light hearted than Stella about the situation (unless she's cracking jokes about it) in an attempt to make her feel better about any injuries

Timmy: he's panicking bc dude has anxiety. I'm re-watching s1 and wow this guy cannot function under pressure like at all. Would just try to stick around Tecna and watch over her. He can't really do anything but it gives him peace of mind. He usually isn't more than a room a way. If she needs something he gets it for her, but he's also clumsy as fuck fkend. If Tecna is really injured it's the same thing except he's a lot more visibly upset. Not diddly darn doin ok

Riven: lmao and you thought Sky was panicking. He isn't taking it well, not even a little bit, not thing is ok. Riven kinda measures his self worth based on how useful he is, the the correct way (to him) to be useful to be a partner is to protect them, take care of/support them, be able to give them things they like/need, and make them happy (this one gets added after his epiphany about not being a dick at the end of s1, it's not like he didn't care about that during s1 but he thought the other three and this one were the same thing). Musa being injured makes him think he's completely and utterly failed that first one, which means he's fucked up being a boyfriend which makes him angry at himself. He's trying his best to take care of Musa, and this is one of the rare exclusively soft Riven moments. Musa is hurt so his emotions filter is off for as long as their alone, he will express many soft feelings and immediately clam back up afterwards bc being vulnerable is scary. If Musa is really injured he just just hangs around her when she needs him/wants his company, and he desperately tries to distract himself when he isn't around her bc lord know this man can't handle emotions. He's sad!! And worried!! And mostly expressing this as being pissed as fuck at himself for no reason because he doesn't know how else to channel all this excess energy!! Sometimes he'll just get sad and mope around watching over her. It depends on how he was feeling before hand

Helia: reacts in a similar way as Brandon but with more "planning violent revenge". Helia is very non emotional guy (he has the autistic flat emotions that I have the opposite of), and he's always down for murder if it's for Flora. He doesn't panic, because he just kinda doesn't (it would take a lot to make him panic), but he does make sure everything is perfect for when Flora needs things (tho he isn't stress organizing like Brandon is). Helia likes to keep things under control (like his weapon implies), so he tries to keep everything is exactly how he and Flora need it. If Flora gets really injured, he kinda just freezes. Everything goes to shit because he no longer is taking care of it, he's just glued to Flora's bed side. Helia is out of his emotional depth and it shows

Mirta: she's not one of the guys but SHHH Flora/Mirta is my favorite Flora ship. Um, she's panicking. Like panicking HARD. Between the two of the Flora is the calm one and it shows. She immediately tries to start healing Flora and running around doing everything she can....unfortunately Mirta is kinda clumsy, she tries her best and cleans up anything that she messes up it's fine. If Flora's really injured Mirta gets still and sad instead of hyper and anxious. She still works hard to heal Flora but she's not a mile a minute anymore, she's slower and meticulous...while still internally panicking

Nabu: A very measured response. Not quite Brandon levels, Nabu can't stay that calm even though Aisha is already anxious AF, but he tries to be someone Aisha can lean on without being worried he'll get freaked out too. Tries to cheer Aisha up bc Aisha get catastrophic thoughts, a symtom of anxiety, and can work herself up in a tizzy when she's not actively in the situation (aka no time to think). He usually cheers her up by getting her a fun TV show to watch with some claiming tea lmao, she is not allowed to exercise till she's completely healed. If Aisha's really injured, all calmness goes out of the window. He's panicking. He doesn't know what to do. He's researching everything about the injury and catastrophizing himself. Someone help him, before be spirals into a black hole

Wooooo!! Big project finished!!

Yay me 🥳🥳 I thought I take this time to ramble a bit about my thought process with my designs (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) Mostly because I didn't wanna yell all over the other posts and make them less rebloggable 😆

Imma post my sketches as visual aid so I'm not just posting my art again (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Paper sketches:

This whole project was partly inspired by StellaSolaris each girl's worst trait post, that's been living in my head rent free forever now. Taking the girls worst traits and using them to make dark faries more dynamics instead of just evil™ was something I have been always wanted to do, mostly because using dark faries as a way to explore the girls personalities is something that speaks to me!! It's just such a fun concept so I had to run with it

I use the Believix aesthetics for Charmix, so all the dark faries are Believix adjacent an that was intentional because I felt like I could do more with the Believix aesthetic over magic winx

If you can't tell, I had a vision™ for Bloom, Stella, and Tecna, (especially Bloom, kid core, homecoming dress, I knew what I was going for) while Musa, Aisha, and Flora absolutely ate me alive in the design process. It was so hard to get any ideas for their outfits

I couldn't fit Musa's chain in T-T it looked too weird

Bloom:

Bloom was absolutely the easiest, her dress is cute, she's cuter

I went kidcore with her makeup, loved to add the burns, didn't like the belt, I just loved the baby doll aesthetic. Fit the vibe of unhinged naive magical girlie perfectly

Stella:

Stella's whole outfit was supposed to accentuate her attention seeking behavior but like...it's not really that provocative T-T Musa has her whole ass panties out in s1, this ain't shit, but please take pity on me I didn't want to push it any further

Note her hair is also supposed to be so excessively long and lose that it's a huge liability in combat but it's also just her Enchantix hair T-T she's making things so difficult

She's the one that looks the least crazy, she just looks like she's having a fashion day™ and wanted to be extra and not like...a manifestation of her worst vain and inattentive nature T-T

At least her outfit looks cool as fucking shit, like drop dead gorgeous if I do say so my self

The symbol found on the final version of her outfit is the symbol for platinum, if you were curious

Flora:

I wanted to go for rotting corpse being reclaimed by nature, moss eating her outfit, eyes sunken in, but I don't think it came across well. I added lilys bc they're funeral flowers :)

Trying to get an outfit to represent Flora's defensive personality without making the outfit too heavyweight and evening-gown like was hard but I like the aesthetic. Hopefully I get it next time

Tecna:

I decided to uncover Tecna's face because Tecna's traits are uncompromising and head strong, so leaving everything but her head uncovered was a fun little refrence to that being her leading trait

That is the mercury symbol on her head, which is the alchemchemic symbol for the mind. I think it was a cute reference but I decided not to keep

(It also represents passive femininity and Tecna as a non-binary transfem matches that as well which is funky and fresh)

Tecna's wings were a struggle but they turned out so sexi that I'm so so so happy with them. Tecna weird ass wings 4 life I love u bby girl

Musa:

The only thing I had in mind for this was "Musa has a mental break down" that's it. Designing a mental break down outfit for a transform without going full Harely Quinn was a fuckin difficulty. That pants and top combo was pried out of my references in blood, the stockings were easy tho. Nothing says mental break down like fighting in fucked up stockings, running make-up, and fucked up bangs

Ren's comment about Musa having a mental break down and chopping her hair into the Believix style inspired this look, it spoke to me. I needed to give Musa "showing up at your ex's door at 3am in the rain with a pair of scissors" chic XD

She looks so cool, but gosh those pants were hard to draw

Aisha:

I put Aisha in a power suit because stubborn reminds me of the time I refused to wear a dress to homecoming and my mom called me stubborn XD I think she looks good in it :)

I've always wanted to give Aisha amphibian traits over fish traits, so that the Sea Andros that's cold blooded and land Andros that is warm blooded both look water-y but in different ways and I think axolotls are cool so this was me just trying them out lol

The water damage was so damn hard to draw because how do you draw water damage?? It's like worn out clothes??? I tried my best (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠) she looks super cool tho
