Modern au car salesman Jayce is great at selling cars because he's a car fanatic. He juggles between the same three suits everyday. When selling cars, he explains to customers the inside mechanics of the vehicle, the specs of the engine, and how they work together as well as how to upkeep. For some he can recite the entire user manual. The women buy what he sells because he sounds like he knows what he's talking about and also, he's very pretty. The men buy the car because they want him to shut up. No one really cares about listening to his spiel on cars and their intricacies. He doesn't have a driver's license. His strange obsession with cars stems from when his father died in a car accident, which isn't healthy but he makes it work (hence a job as a car salesman). He doesn't drive a car himself, but takes the train to work. He lives with his mother. He tries dating, and is really good at getting laid, but the relationships don't stick. No one wants to listen to him talk about cars on every single date. His last date told him that if he liked cars so much, maybe he should date one. And then Jayce deadpanned and said that's not possible. His date told him to go to therapy and then blocked him. Jayce has exactly two friends. One is Caitlyn, a TSA agent who has a singular love of planes and an obsession with the Alaska triangle. Her parents bought her a tubroprop for her birthday, because she wanted to become a pilot, but she's afraid of heights so she hasn't learned to fly. His second friend is Viktor, a CNA who moonlights as theoretical physicist and talks in uber scientific terms no one can really understand. He drives an electric car Jayce sold him. They all get along like a house on fire. To hear the three of them have a conversation would confound even the most socially adept individuals.

⭒"sunsets or something, aren't you lovely" ⭒~ crush phase Arcane head cannons {fem reader}
cast ✧ Vi, Ekko, Jayce, Viktor, Mel
cw fem!reader, massive amounts of fluff, slightly pervy jayce, not beta read
an ☞i know this blog has been very Buffy related for a bit but i wanted to try something new. Not that Buffy is abandoned forever, i just wanted to write for more than one fandom
♞Vi ♞
♞Vi tells herself she doesn't have a crush on you, nay, she doesn't even believe in crushes. She thinks they are childish and beneath her and would never even admit she has one. That being said, she is definitely "sweet" on you as Vander would've called it. Vi when having a crush would be an absolute disaster, and this she would be more than willing to admit on her own. Her words never seem to come out right, and even when they do, they're never taken the way she means. She said it herself, when presented a set of options, she somehow always manages to chose the wrong one. For a relationship with Vi to work, you would have to be patient.
♞She certainly doesn't know when enough is enough. She will hang outside of your place of employment, be it the Last Drop or Babette's and insist you allow her to walk you home. Her fists are the one thing she's confident in because there is no nuance in fighting. She doesn't think it's possible for you to be upset with her for beating the shit out of the guy who looked at you funny and would be confused when you get mad at her for this. It's not even that she thinks you are incapable of taking care of yourself, that's just the only way she can think to protect you without it going wrong (and it sometimes still does)
♞She would be into old school chivalry. In a modern, less serious AU, I think she would be the type to stand outside your house with a boombox to apologize because she accidentally shrunk your favorite expensive sweater in the wash. Even within Arcane, I think if she was feeling soft and comfortable enough, she would be the type to carry you over puddles so your shoes didn't get wet or throw stones at your window to get your attention. Not even to go on a big adventure, just to sit on a rooftop and to listen to her hum.
♞I don't think she'd be into getting her crush flowers. She's one of those types who is already hyper exposed to death and wouldn't want to get you anything that has the potential to die. She's not above having Jinx make you some trinket and trying to lie that she made it to impress you, but you know that it's not her handiwork. She does try, though, her and her sticky fingers. Anything your gaze lingers too long on somehow finds its way into your room with a handwritten note from her (her handwriting is shit by the way)
♞As stated above, she is terrible with words yet is most romantic in the most unexpected moments. She is totally the type to hang around doorframes just to lean on them and subtly flex. Does this work? No, but it's funny to see her try and be suave. She succeeds in smaller ways. She is always watching. She notices the small changes in the ways you look at her, knowing when you're trying not to laugh or need her to rescue you from a terrible conversation. The slightly deeper baritone she puts on when she asks, "you alright, pretty?", the way she guides you by the small of your back on instinct. She one of those people who is naturally hot and doesn't realize she doesn't need to try (and don't let her find out she'll be insufferable).
♞I don't think she would confess on her own, it's far more likely you'll have to do it yourself. She would get in her head too much, and her communication skills are awful. She worries that she'll hurt you and won't know how to fix it. She knows relationships are harder work than friendships and she is not confident in her abilities to handle all the responsibility that comes with that. She's reckless with her livelihood, but never you and your wellbeing. Even after a confession, it would take a lot of reassurance that she wouldn't destroy everything.
✭Ekko✭
✭I don't think a crush phase with Ekko would last all that long, especially if it's developed after the Firelight society. I think he's far more self-assured than Vi is and wouldn't see the point in dancing around a relationship. If he wants you and you want him, why make things complicated if they don't need to be. For these reasons, I think he would crush from a far rather than it being a friends to lovers type relationship.
✭Ekko is sappy, let that be known. The first time he sees you time stops. If he's figured out his machine, he may just rewind time to stare at you for a second longer. He becomes a mini-stalker, not breaking into your house or anything, but slyly asking if anyone knows you, where you came from, why he's never seen you before, if you're single? Scar makes fun of him for this, of course, but encourages and indulges him with all he knows
✭The glimpses he sees of you make his whole week. Those short moments you pass by him in a crowd, or he sees you playing with children or passing around food, and he curses himself every time for freezing instead of taking action. And when he does take action, Scar is somewhere around the corner eavesdropping on the conversation and nearly choking on his own laughter when he hears Ekko's opening line, "Tree." Just "Tree". He had meant to say more than that, but when you looked at him, his mind went blank and all he could manage was "Tree" and died inside as you looked up at him confused. Like Vi, he too would stumble over his words at first, or even worse, fall victim to a terribly timed voice crack. He tries to cover it with a cough, but there's really no coming back from that.
✭Lucky for Ekko (who still lays awake at night because of your first interaction), you liked his tree a lot and you talked for hours under it. He walked you home like a gentleman after and shows up the next morning to give you an exclusive tour of the entire place and treats you to lunch
✭After that he pops up everywhere. You need company on an errand, he's some how at your door, checking his watch trying to look nonchalant when he is one of the most chalant people to walk the earth. You get caught in the rain, your eyes aren't deceiving you, that is indeed Ekko in the misty distance with an extra umbrella he 'found' lying around somewhere. You wanna go out one night, that's hilarious because Ekko had the exact same idea and if you're both going out might as well keep each other safe at night.
✭Don't be mistaken, he allows you space. He himself is a man who enjoys solitude, but what is the point of a commune if not community. He can do things alone, and he does, but if he's craving company and you are too, why bother with it. Being together isn't often a big ordeal anyway, sometimes its lounging around in his lab reading a book while he's tinkering away with some good music playing in the background. And sometimes, if the stars align and the moon allows, you slow dance to whatever's playing while talking about your day, even if you spent it together.
✭Ekko can certainly cook. He got quite good at making something out of nothing before his tree, but after, you try convincing him every day to open a restaurant should he ever need some cash on the side. He likes his kitchen a lot, actually, its his private sanctuary. A place where his love of the arts and science come together. In a modern AU, he would totally be on the track to have a degree in biochemistry and plan to open his own restaurant.
✭You two would hang out in his kitchen a lot, and out of the kindness of his heart, he would allow you to lick the spoon anytime he bakes something. It would also be where he confesses, a candlelit dinner for two already set up while both of you prepare what will be your first meal together as a couple.
❂Jayce❂
❂Probably the only one (and Mel) who can pull of being suave. Though he can pull it off, it is not authentic at all. He certainly woos you with it though!! He is a very classic romantic, buying you dozens of roses and wine-and-dining you with fancy champagne and furry rugs, but it's all a facade. He's a really big dork. Unlike the previous two, being suave is the defense he plays rather well. He's a bit scared that when you realize he's really pathetic deep down, you'll be disappointed. He's the man of progress and built like a brickhouse and he is slightly very insecure that's not his personality deep down
❂He enjoys walks in the gardens once you get a bit closer to him. Usually you two will talk in his lab or in your place of work and he'll drop a few cheesy pickup lines with a charming smirk and you'll both laugh it off. You think he's just a flirt for a while and he's really trying to work on you (just very unsuccessfully). It's not until he (very inorganically) tells you he's tired and wants a change of scenery and asks if you'll accompany him to the gardens. For the first time ever, you get one of his toothy smiles instead of those stupid forced smirks and you're really fond of it.
❂From then on, things start progressing much faster. He starts to tell you about Hextech and his theories about the runes and how it all works and babbles about scientific drivel until the sun goes down and, unless you're one of the sciency-types, it goes through one ear and out the other. He's ok with this, he likes having a sponge around to talk things through with, but if you can actually engage, he'd probably get a boner.
❂I feel like out of everyone, after you got close enough, he would do relationship things, creating a very vague space that can leave you questioning whether or not you're together or if you're reading into things too much. This is entirely because he wants to ask you out and he is like 90% percent sure you'll say yes but he's worried about the slim chance you won't and wants you to take the leap for him because he's too scared to.
❂He's a big physical touch guy. Like the type to leave his hands in your back pocket, not even because he's trying to grab your ass, but because he wants to touch you (and your ass). He likes hugs!! He gives such good hugs. While it's usually him leaning on you for touch, placing his head in your lap, grabbing your hands, or letting his hands linger on your hips to rub little patterns, he is beyond excited when it's you are initiating. What do you mean you want a hug from him!!! What do you mean you want to hold his hand!! He is so over the moon excited.
❂Slight side tangent, but if you went out in something low cut he would constantly be staring at your chest. Not even in a perv way (most of the time), but to make sure it doesn't fall down. He has gotten very sly at pulling it up for you in an unnoticeable way. There are a lot of similar acts with him, casual touches here and there. Unsticking your hair from your lip gloss, pulling stray leaves or flower petals out of your hair, making sure the clasp of your necklace stays in place at the back of your neck.
❂I know he smells nice. Dior Sauvage warrior right here!!! He would go slightly overboard with it on the day he confesses just because you said you liked it. He would plan everything to an absolute 't'. A walk in the gardens where you had what he considers your first date, a written speech that become illegible because his hands were sweaty while he was holding it, a specific spot to eat dinner so you got a perfect glimpse of the stars. He would even wait for the day that a specific constellation was in place to perfectly set the mood. He asks you to be his girlfriend like he's proposing, with a single rose and matching bracelets to commemorate the occasion.
☽Viktor☾
☾Viktor is another one I don't really see having a crush just because he is so busy all the time, but I don't think you'd need to work in the lab to catch his attention. I think simple things, like kindness, would really be all he needs. He appreciates someone who doesn't coddle him or look at him funny because he's from Zaun or because of his leg. Someone who is considerate to his disability while also treating him like a person, not like some porcelain doll
☾I think once he found you, he would find it slightly hard to know what to do next. He likes your banter when you come around and he knows he likes you, it's the pursuing part that gets him tripped up. He is someone who likes to have it planned out and he has no idea where he would take you on a date or what you enjoy or who you are really
☾Every hang out would eventually turn into a game of 21 questions. What's your favorite color? What do you like to do in your free time? What's your least favorite chore to do? It all seems very random you two jump from topic to topic when the conversation stills. He also just adores hearing you go on and on about things. They could be the simplest of things, like going into very heavily deep detail as to why your favorite colors purple, or something more substantive, like a full and deep analysis of your favorite book, or just gossip. This man is a D-1 gossiper!!
☾He likes having you around in general. Like Jayce, he enjoys having someone to bounce ideas off of or just being able to hear them out loud. He also feels more at ease around you. Unlike pretty much everyone else, he wouldn't freeze up around his crush. If anything, he's more prone to fault without them there. He gets too wrapped up in work, he forgets to take breaks, he forgets to eat. You're always there to remind him to do what he forgets to the point that you don't even have to say it anymore. He's gotten so good about it, sometimes he makes lunch for the both of you.
☾He absolute adores your banter. He's not as serious as people think he is. He can crack a joke or two. He's sarcastic and witty and a leader of the sassy man apocalypse. He would absolutely die without hearing your laugh at his stupid jokes.
☾On a different note, he would start using pet names so smoothly. It would start slowly with a simple nickname and then eventually progress into one of those old, classic nicknames. Dear or darling would definitely be his go-to's and he would only get bolder as you start to blush more. He's cocky too, he is very aware of the effect he has, and he likes pushing your buttons. It's like a game, the more he picks and prods, the greater his reward is.
☾I also have a feeling he'd be a slight neat freak. Like his lab is a different story, his work is chaotic, but he cannot come home to chaos. I think if you let him into your space, he wouldn't definitely tidy it up subtly. Wiping dust off books and slightly moving objects on your desk so they look more orderly. I feel like this carries over to appearance too. He has a specific way of tying his shoes and he's very meticulous about what ties he wears and knows how to do like every type of knot.
☾He also definitely smells good. You can't convince me he doesn't have like a 12-step shower routine and takes advantage of all of Piltover's fancy soups and colognes. In contrast to Jayce, however, his smelling good is him smelling super clean. Like it's not a scent out of a bottle or anything, nor does he smell exactly like soap, he smells distinctly like himself and very clean.
☾I think he would confess very simply and nonchalantly. It would be a late night in the lab by candlelight or some sort of low lighting has him feeling romantic and bold. He peppers it into conversation smoothly, something like "It's too late tonight, but tomorrow we should go on our first date." And you are taken aback, which he knew you would be. You do ask if he was officially asking you to be his girlfriend and he tells you "he doesn't really like labels", but the wide smile and kiss he gave you said otherwise.
☼Mel☼
☼Probably one of the smoothest talkers out of everyone here. She would have absolutely no problems charming anyone into a relationship. Similar to Jayce, it would be a bit superficial at first. Feeling like she would need a relationship to feel complete, not in a self-esteem way, but rather in an aesthetic way. She is always trying to look very put together and like she has everything under control, and the "complete" life looked like one with a significant other. She eventually realizes a complete life doesn't need a partner, but her complete life wouldn't be complete without you.
☼Mel would feel like she's being obvious towards her crush when she in reality is not. She has this very professional tone about her, and she eventually has to learn that even the sweetest things sound manufactured in that manner. She would talk very softly with her crush, a lot of whispers during council meetings and sweet mutterings while it's just the two of you. This reminds me, if you're shorter than her, she has the very attractive habit of leaning down to speak to you.
☼Big on eye contact. She could talk you unto circles, your pupils dilated and just nodded at anything she says. She finds this very amusing. She is aware of the effect her voice has on people, and she would be lying if she said she didn't put into hyperdrive when it came to you. It's not even a different voice she put on, it's just the way she speaks and looks you in your eyes that's so captivating. She also gives it right back when it comes to listening to you. Though she has the habit of wanting to fix your problems for you, she's gotten good at asking if you even want her advice or just want her to listen.
☼She would love matching with her crush. Once again, someone who visuals are very important to, she likes the idea that you look together, even if you aren't. This also applies to her finding any way for you to be together at public events. Inviting you as her date to a gala or not wanting to do a grocery run alone, she would ask you to come with. She loves looking like you two are dating.
☼Gossip sessions would go insane. It's definitely a scheduled weekend event with face masks and nails, she'll braid your hair and in return you'll pick out new charms and styles for her to put hers in. Part of it is because she likes being well informed about what everyone is up to and part of it is bonding over despising the same people in the council (this is directed at Salo). Her favorite part of it is being around you; it's a very intimate activity that she can't get enough of.
☼I feel it in my bones that she's the type to open doors for you. Car doors, carriage doors, your hand will not grace a single doorknob or handle around her. She would also be on top of the weather, festivals and fun events happening, and things concerning to your interests. You will never regret not wearing your rainboots because she would've told you the forecast the morning. Your favorite music artists are coming soon, good thing she told you like a month ago so you could get tickets before everyone else.
☼She is another chef, but of the comfort food variety. Her food just tastes like a warm hug, and she is the first you go to when feeling under the weather. She takes great pride in this. She doesn't cook often and she doesn't even enjoy the activity that much, preferring to eat out or have a private chef, but she likes that she has something that she can do for you.
☼I don't think it would take her very long to ask you out, especially if she felt like the feelings were reciprocated. To her, there's no point in prolonging the inevitable and she really likes the way your names sound together. I think she is also sappy; she is just incredibly well at hiding it. All of the acts of service mentioned above are usually done casually. She wins the nonchalant Olympics even when she's not trying to. She thinks it's incredibly clear, but the way she comes across doesn't convey that. Thus, her sappy moments are few and far between and she gets very bashful when they're mentioned.
☼Definitely has a scrapbook of your times together as well as a diary where she talks about you for pages on end. The discovery of this would lead to the confession. It would be uncomfortable for her just because it would be so impromptu and that is not how she likes to do things. She would be very vulnerable and honest about her feelings and would call this your "unofficial" confession. She would later go all out as she had always intended during her confession

Sky high.
by loveshazel
Caitlyn turned towards the woman who'd been flirting with Vi - a viscious grin on her lips. “I heard your little proposition earlier, and I’ll tell you now – on behalf of Vi – that there is absolutely no need for you to drag her into the restrooms for a cheap little hook up" Caitlyn started, while still sporting that smug little grin. “You claim you can make her cum in 30 minutes, when I can do it in five. Two, if she’s had a hard day. Ten, if she wants me to take my time. Twenty, if we’re edging… now, I suggest that you get out of my seat and take a long walk, because you’ve greatly overstayed your welcome”
The woman blinked up at her. “I think that it is up to Vi, whether or not I leave this table”
“While that is most certainly true, I'll have you know that I can and will ruin your life” Caitlyn fumed. “It would only take me thirty minutes to learn your full name, date of birth, place of employment and social security number – which is about as long as you need to make a woman cum, isn’t it?”

hi! I love your write start there but I rlly don't like the recents universe? you make in your fics, like, I'm just starting reading your new fic but I think is irreal? taking as a base the series?
I hope this doesn't bother you I just wanna tell my opinion :(
I think you have skills in make such a pretty fics or requests, but the universe where silco is good w there workers or people and otherwise, just seems me a little strange to read cause in every episode of arcane they show that guy like .... I give a example where they want to caught vi and caitlyn, where the addicts to shimmer, but they fail we see silco kicking the stomach of one of he's employes just w that scene you see... idk I think silco only have the spot you want to give them w jinx and depends the time
hi anon, sorry you dont like the new fic! its a modern au, so the characters are a little more chilled out and grounded than in arcane. plus im a softie and i love giving badass tough characters a sweet side haha.

#all of this#it's another part of what would make a good modern Dracula genuinely interesting/terrifying#the heroes are already working under the radar in canon because slaying Dracula could Very Easily Look Like Murdering a Rich Guy#and they only get away clean because they slay him in the middle of nowhere#how do they even get close to this fucker without being caught on a bunch of CCTV cameras?#while avoiding a virtual paper trail?#while everyone and their grandmother is whipping out a phone to film the crazy guys who leapt out a mansion window#one of them cursing over his shoulder while the white-haired anime man chases him with a knife?#who do you think the cops are getting called on??#hell if it comes to 21st century-level wealth accruing for Dracula and his investments#the dude could just BUY every property attached to the heroes#he buys out Hawkins' firm. Jonathan Harker's employment and assignments get erased#he buys the asylum next to Carfax. free food next door! sweet!#he becomes a patron with Van Helsing's university and wherever Mina teaches in this AU#he 'owns' part of them now--walk right in I guess#the modern era is incredibly stacked in Dracula's favor#because it's Especially stacked in the favor of the surveillance state and the wealthy#who would even blink if (laughably) Jonathan tried to speak up after escaping; to try and bring an actual CASE against Dracula--and then he#just#disappeared.#nobody even blinked at the shit with Boeing#and anyone who did raise a stink would be shut down when Jonathan* reappeared (all sharp smiles) alongside the Count's voluptuous crew#Just a little misunderstanding you see? Nothing money can't fix. Ha ha.#ugh#it'd be so beautifully fucked up#dracula#modern au (via @see-arcane)
90% of the stuff Dracula does in the book wouldn’t even raise suspicions in 2024. It might barely raise eyebrows. If we found out that a very wealthy man was sleeping in boxes of dirt we’d just assume it was some bullshit pseudoscience rich people health craze like raw water and ivermectin and chiropractic. if he was living in a rundown dump of a house and wearing unflattering fashions it would just be par for the course for rich people, money doesn’t buy taste etc. If he was shipping boxes of dirt from his home country it would be weird but whatever I guess he’s paying for it right? He could probably even get away with shit like assaulting women and holding a young man hostage for several weeks if he did it right. Honestly the only thing I think he might not get away with in the modern day is murdering a ship full of people and a psychiatric patient but like….money buys a lot of security. So I’m still dubious. Honestly the only reason Dracula gets caught is because he’s weird by 1890s English standards and possibly because his in-person vibes are just that rancid.

Pixie info?
As in what they do in my AU?
Pixies are small magical creatures, residing on almost all inhabited planets, planetoids and moons. They spawn from pure magic, the Arcane Core of the settled planets themselves. Arcane Cores are a nexus of magic that form when magic is being used in a given area for a prolonged period of time - this can be done by humans, merfolk, centauri or even magifauna. Like Magifauna, pixies are tightly linked to their external magic core and as their are weak magic conduits, most of their might comes from the Arcane core itself. The Arcane cores grow in size and power with the increasing size and complexity of the civilisations that evoked it, pixies therefore have a vested interest in making it as intricate as possible by interacting and interfering with the system and its people.
Pixies form friendships and offer little trades and services with other beings, but they can also prove to be a nuisance when their mischievous vein strikes. None of it is meant in bad blood, creating drama and watching it enfold is a service after all fun and enriching their life and the life of their target.
Pixie expressions of emotions appear always at full force and overwhelming to their no-pixie conversation partners, jumping from one extreme to the next. But pixies are in fact able to feel all those things at the same time and are absolutely emotionally stable when measured with their own standards. Dealing with them requires a special kind of patience and mindset, splitting the rest of the population into two: they are either able to deal with pixies or not. Pixies pick up on the clues being sent and will mostly leave people who are not receptive to them. (Mostly being unless this other person has given the pixie a reason to be angry or petty at them. Then the pixie will absolutely use all their might to annoy and inconvenience the person.)
Their permanent residence varies from planet to planet. Some pixie communities live in the deep forests and only interact with people passing through, others live in the bustle of large cities and have full employment contracts. Their appearance is quite varied as well, but generally they are very small, no taller than 15cm and their skin texture often resembles tree-bark. Magics pixies for example look most like leaf insects, but there are pixies with more moth or dragonfly-like qualities to them. They are born peachy soft and fuzzy, and their skin hardens as they age during their considerably long lifetime. Pixie gender is indeterminate until pixies reach a certain maturity and can express what gender and presentation they feel most comfortable with.
Many pixies are born with the ability (and predestination) to bond with a magic user of another species, mostly of the society that caused the nexus to form that birthed them. This cosmic link ties the life of the pixie and their companion together: they are born on the same day, are meant to meet and bond recognising each other instantly, and they are meant to pass away on the same day as well for related or unrelated causes.
Bonding increases the emotional resilience and processing power of both participants. In a back and forth of near-telepathic thought and emotion sharing the pixie and their bondmate can help each other overcome emotionally difficult situations, process trauma and grow as a person.
Pixies usually don’t leave their home or village, but some do have the drive to explore. It is not rare that they later find out it was because their were meant to meet their bondmate that way. Pixies that don’t bond for one reason or another grow introverted and incomprehensible to outsiders who have no knowledge about pixie societies. They most definitely still lead full lives, but prefer solitude and traditions over keeping in touch with modern whims. They can even chose to turn off the Universal Translation Spell, that enables all beings in the Magical Universe to understand each other, at will and talk in pixie language only. This skill is unique to pixies, as no other species or being is as connected to the Arcane Cores as they are. (The Arcane Cores fuel/keep the spell up)
As they are guardians of arcane magic, they are a sought after bonding partner not only for the emotional aspect of the connection. The arcane aspect of magic is being used to craft charms, manipulate language and space and subspaces. - A prime example of this would be the Relix, which is failed attempt at creating a subdimensional space just like the Golden Kingdom, which is a supradimensional one.- The pixie bond also gives a boost to the bondmate’s magic when using generic spells, eg. levitation, notice-me-not, or search spells, or creating new ones. Pixies in turn receive a small aspect specific magic boost.
Sorcery being a stream of magic already predisposed to generic spells and crafting, it is evident why a sorcerer/ess would want to find their bonded pixie. However while bonding is most beneficial to them, among human magic users it is actually most common for fey magic users to do so. Fairies and pixies share their love for pedantic rules, regulations and agreements - only to shamelessly exploit them when it fits them. The wordsmithing and the trading of favours that powers fey magic have struck a chord with pixies, so fairies have become welcome guests in their communities. Outdated an malicious sources claim it is also because pixies don’t understand the division of species and think of human fairies as overgrown pixie folk, which while have been long since debunked, still spread harmful stereotypes.
Pixies bonded to human magic users will remain bonded even if the magic user changes their magic stream. Superficially pixies are a bit vary of witchcraft users, but that doesn’t last long enough to put a wrench in the relationship with their bondmate should they switch to witchcraft. The same way not all pixies bond, not all magic users have predestined pixies to bond with. Non-magic beings, human, ogre, goblin or otherwise, have definitely no cosmic connection to them. Doesn’t mean they can’t become regular friends though.
Bonded pixies will continue to live in their communities, but will keep close contact with their bondmate. Sometimes moving together is impossible becase the bond partner is a merperson who lives underwater, sometimes the partners just chose not to.
When their life is over, pixies’ life force returns to the Arcane Core and they will be born again in a new form.
Each of the WInx girls’ bonded pixies still lives in the Enchanted forest of Magics. The fact that the Winx found their bondmates on a planet that is not their home means they are predestined to be of great service to the Magic Universe. This is not very common, and the last who did so were the Nymphs of Magics. Their pixies being from Magics is also the basis for the Winx’s permanent residence on the planet and why Magics was immediately eager to offer Bloom, Musa and Techna guardianship of the planet once their homes did not express the desire to do so.
I hope this answers you “question”?
