#but tecna is staying dead this time

[blue-sophia]

I think the show in no way captured just how hard season 3 was on the Specialists. I mean, obviously they were barely treated as nothing more than love interests, but season 3 broke these boys.

Sky was spelled and manipulated to the point where he had no idea what reality was. Coming out of that must have been terrifying. Having no clue of what's real or who to trust, it must have taken him such a long time to start feeling like he had somehwat control over his life again. And knowing his parents didn't even recognise the state and pain he was in only makes it more painful.

Brandon was captured and treated as a traitor by the realm he spent his entire life fighting for. Growing up as a child soldier, he was taught that the only thing he was good for was being Sky's meat shield. But at the moment his best friend needs him the most, he gets thrown into a prison cell for wanting to help him.

Timmy's grief over losing Tecna gets a surprising amount of recognition in the show, I'll give them that. But I still think the show moved on too fast from the fact that everyone assumed Tecna to be dead. The sleepless nights trying to find her, his refusal to come to terms with what happened... Even after finding her, that shit stays with you.

Riven is the only one that caught somewhat of a break in season 3. Him and Musa are doing better and he's finally learning to let the people around him into his life. However, seeing Darcy once again trying to take over the world, hurting the people he loves, must rip open a wound that he's tried to stitch up about a million times. He'll forever feel guilty for his actions in season 1, and Darcy will forever be a reminder of that.

I've always loved how committed Timmy was to finding Tecna and thinking about it sent me on a long path of thoughts and I landed on this: how do you think the specialists +Nabu would react if they thought their girlfriend was killed?

Not well!!! Thank you for the Ask :D

Sky: idk if Sky or Brandon would be able to sense Bloom and Stella like Timmy was able to do for Tecna so I'm just gonna assume no bc everyone below them can. I feel like he wouldn't believe it???? Bloom was killed? No she wasn't. Shut up. Like it's half denial and half "have you seen the bullshit magic she's capable of??" It would take Bloom's actual corpse to convince him she was actually dead or a REALLY convincing illusion he could touch. Then he's all fucking sad. Sky is a mom friend so he's going in between extreme sadness and trying to end the person who did this

Brandon: Anyone else except me and Jester notice how Brandon was the most calm at Nabu's funeral???? I feel like he'd have the least worse reaction, not in the sense that he's not upset but in the sense that he has the best handle on his emotions. Like he still gets VERY upset and wants revenge but he's not gonna fucking go berserk and cause problems like Helia and Riven would. He IS still going to try and stab whoever did that to Stella though, he's just going to be slightly smarter about it. I feel like he'd also try and get everyone else to be more careful, around the threat, not himself tho. My Brandon has magic but idk if he'd b able to sense Stella bc his Erakylon tutors wouldn't focus on stuff like that

Timmy: I won't type on this one long because well we know he can't be convinced Tecna's dead unless she's actually dead bc magic, but if he actually thought she was killed he wouldn't try to attack the thing that killed her, he'd try to retrieve and protect her body. Timmy is one of the few people who can keep a level head when upset, including Brandon, and is willing to let the magic people do the magic fighting and stay out of their way (Brandon is also smart enough to know he's not much of a help but is confident in his skills enough that he knows he CAN still help tho)

Riven: Timmy knows Tecna is alive bc it's sorta implied that he can kinda sense her magic?? Like he says he can still feel her, and I'm assuming that means her magic. Anyways you know how Riven could still sense Darcy in s2 after they broke up???? Riven couldn't be convinced Musa was dead unless she actually was dead. He can feel very a lot more strongly than Timmy can feel Tecna I imagine bc he could still sense Darcy's presence after they broke up, so it would be stupid hard to convince him she was dead. If you did somehow manage this he'd attempt to get revenge and then immediately collapse with depression since revenge was gotten. He doesn't handle things well in general, and that's like. The light of his life. His person. He'd literally stop functioning if she was dead

Helia: You'd think bc Helia actually has magic his ability to sense Flora would be stronger, but like it's not terrible but it would be as vague as Timmy's is in canon bc he never uses it. In my hcs it would be better bc he goes to CT and actually uses his magic more often, but he'd still be doing worse than like Nabu, who is a lot better at magic. Helia has a tendency to lash out when Flora is in danger so I think if he genuinely thought she was dead for any amount of time he would be going full war path until he realizes she's alive. When he does realize, bc it will take him a second, he immediately calms down and starts putting together a plan to help Flora

Nabu: he would not think Aisha was dead unless she was actually dead, same reasons as everyone else but his magic is stronger so he'd be the hardest to convince. But like, let's pretend he did actually think she was dead, I feel like he would go full Dungeon Meshi lesbians. He will go any length to revive her if she's dead, and bc she's not dead he's using magic to divine her location and go and get her. Nabu is very into writing spells and runes and arcane magic and there is nothing magical he wouldn't try to get Aisha back. Mans was already so dedicated to getting to know her, combine that with him being in love with her and there is nothing he wouldn't do

Musa: The Thesis

Kay so… this one involves one of the biggest spoilers of s3 due to one of the biggest changes I made there revolves around Musa and I will be discussing it after the First Things First part. So please please please if you haven’t read up until Season 3 Chapter 24: The Space Between Where Our Ends Meet, DO NOT READ PAST THE FIRST THINGS FIRST PORTION OF THIS THESIS

I’M SERIOUS PLS DON’T

First Things First

The first words I have in Musa’s character sheet are small sassy goth.

One of the main things I focused on with Musa, especially in the first season is her struggle to be vulnerable. Musa has lived the past 5 or so years with a closed off dad and never got a real chance to truly mourn her mom due to her having to learn to pretty much take care of herself, because of this she becomes very defensive and doesn't trust many people, and it causes her to struggle with being vulnerable, making her feel weak to do so. Here we see her open up slowly to the girls and not really talk that much about her home life until s2.

This is also where the main problem in her relationship with Riven comes in, but we’ll talk about that later on.

Musa, along with Aisha was the loneliest Winx before going to Alfea, and this plays into how protective she can be over the girls, she knows what it’s like to have no one so she is more than ready to throw hands for her girls any day of the week.

Love’s a Loaded Gun, Nobody Wants to Fight

A theme we see with Musa is her not believing she’s really worth a lot of time. She worried about staying one place too long and becoming an inconvenience or sharing her hurt and becoming a weight.

We see that it really takes a lot for her to believe that she is not being selfish or ‘too much’ by expressing herself or deciding to stay in one place, namely Tecna’s home.

Musa has a lot of feelings regarding feeling like she’s being shut out.

She’s working on not shutting people out herself but when others do it to her, she could just have a breakdown since she is so sick and tired of her dad doing it to her and that’s just about the worst thing you could do to her.

She’s a tiny bit afraid of love. Not so much of love itself as just, the thought of losing someone she loves again.

Haunted

So… this is the part with the huge S3 spoiler so PLEASE TURN BACK NOW, THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL MOMENTS OF S3 MY INBOX WAS FLOODED FOR A WEEK IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT YET TURN BACK NOW

So, in s3 chapter 24 Musa gains her Enchantix… and kills Stormy in the process.

First off the second I decided to do s3 I knew I was gonna change how Musa got her Enchantix cause I think we can all agree she got the short end of the stick in the OG.

I also already had in mind killing off either Stormy or Darcy but Stormy just fit more.

I combined these two ideas by changing Musa’s Enchantix to be gained by taking down a building over herself and Stormy due to Stormy loosing control of a curse.

Now, this could’ve gone very differently so why did I chose Musa to be the one to kill Stormy?

Honestly? I felt like it would impact her the most.

Now, obvs any of the girls would’ve been hugely impacted by taking a life (see Tecna) but taking the life of one of the Trix who they’ve known and fought for so long is another level of personal.

And, just like Bloom, Musa can be a very angry person and she hated the Trix’s guts and maybe a tiny part of her would’ve been glad with them dead, but actually having a hand in it…

It creates very conflicting emotions and a mountain of trauma and feelings of inhumanity and just confusion for our girl which we will get to see a lot more of in s4.

Thoughts Behind her Main Relationships

Tecna

I love Tecna and Musa, they are very much a friendship between unconventional girls who don’t always come across as they mean to.

They both struggle to make friends for different reasons but the second they meet they realize that they are quite similar and so never push each other outside of their comfort zone at first and that’s what allows them to become close enough to then push one another.

Musa gets what makes Tecna tick and makes sure that she’s comfortable, she makes sure she gets her alone time and makes sure she doesn’t get overwhelmed.

Tecna gets that Musa doesn’t want to talk about herself so instead gets her to open up about her music.

And it’s through this that they start to trust one another and by s2 we see them knowing each other well enough to keep the other from spiraling.

When Tecna’s confused about her feelings for Timmy, it’s Musa who reminds her that it’s okay to not be ready for a relationship. And when Musa and Riven first kiss, it’s Tecna who suggests they take it slow since she knows how skittish they can both be.

At this point, they push one another when they need to.

They are crucial to each other’s growth.

Riven

I always loved the idea of Rivusa but hated the original execution.

I really like the idea of two kids who have been so hurt by the people that were meant to protect them figuring out how to love each other. How to be open and trusting and just how to work as a couple.

Riven and Musa fall very slowly over the course of a year and a half, they get to know each other, be friends, quite crucially: they’re able to be vulnerable with each other. Which is huge for both of them.

And, when they realize that these feelings are serious and more than just a crush, they are both terrified.

I’ll talk a bit more about Riven’s feelings on his thesis but for Musa, she’s scared of this failing, of flying till the bone crush like the queen would say. She’s scared of it going wrong and losing someone she loves so much.

The part I love about this is that this means that even after they get together we get to see them fuck up. Because just because they’re together doesn’t mean they’re just going to forget years of trauma and having their walls up.

And, in my version, once they’re together, it’s Musa who fucks up by keeping secrets and not being able to bring herself to be vulnerable.

I think my fave part about writing these two is writing about how they grow together both as individuals and as a couple, how they learn to communicate and be vulnerable and realize that they are both here to stay and that this relationship is soft and safe and everything that they have been denied for so long.

That’s what this couple is to me. Two kids learning to love and not be afraid of it.

Helia

Helia and Musa are the writers of the group, due to them both being artist and having had past or present issues with their fathers and being vulnerable, it made sense for them to be platonic soulmates.

They’re the kind of people to spill their guts out of paper and just take a pen and truly speak, word vomit comes out in prose and metaphors and long words that just make you feel serene.

That’s how they find it easier to communicate.

They bond over words and music and the crushing weight of a knot in your throat not letting you speak when it matters most. The falling feeling of everything coming out wrong when spoken but in a beautiful way when written.

Helia is the only person Musa co-writes with for her songs, because he gets her voice as a songwriter in a way that no one else does.

And Helia shared his favorite poems because he knows she’ll get them in the way few could.

They are the artists who write not just because they enjoy and love it, but because it’s a crucial part of who they are, of how they process things and how to keep going.

If you wanna get to know these two, the best way to do it is to look at what they write.

And that’s why they just click.

Who is Musa in this Rewrite?

Musa is a girl who’s hurt. Who has lost and has had to almost raise herself.

She’s done the best that she could but the best she could do to protect herself at the time, back home with her father was to build walls around herself.

She’s someone who is learning to be open and vulnerable and to believe the people she loves won’t leave.

She’s someone trying to leave behind a toxic environment and mindset.

Someone who is, in one word haunted. By her past, by both her parents be it in different ways, by words, by Stormy.

But she’s learning to live with it, to still grow and to not take steps back in her journey.

She’s an artist finding her meaning and voice.

so this one took so long cause I couldn’t figure out how to word certain things and tbh I feel like this one is the worst one so far so pls validate me and tell me it was good I feel like crying but I think I managed to get everything across

[no-white-dress]

I am so so glad Musa's mom wasn’t brought back from the dead.

I see all your "but Tecna and Stella got their feelings and face back!" and I understand where that comes from. The loss of a parent is unspeakably heavy. Musa will spend the rest of her life hoping her mom could see her, wishing she could talk to her and have her advice and hell, even wishing she had the chance to argue with her like she argues with her dad.

But her loss is not recent. Her choice in the labyrinth wasn’t between finding a cure for her mom or saving the universe. It was between saving the universe or entering an alternate reality/time loop and stay with her mother, whose stuck-in-time self somehow knew that that girl was her daugher, an unknown amount of years in the future (we don’t know when the projection or whatever it was Arcadia made was. Maybe Musa was a toddler. Maybe Wa Nin already knew she didn’t have much left to live). What was offered to her wasn’t to get her mother back. It was to give up the rest of her life and spend it with a version of her mother that would never leave.

And even if bringing Wa Nin back was what was at stake there, what would it be like for Wa Nin? She died around when Musa was 10 years old, maybe earlier than that. That’s between 6 and 10 years before s3. Wa Nin would be brought back presumably at the same age she died, while everyone else got older. Her daughter grew up, her husband grew old, everyone she knew. There would be a rift between her and everyone else. I'm not talking just s6 issues played for laughs like "Daphne can't walk and becomes clumsy because she isn’t used to having a body anymore". Daphne had, at least, always been aware of the world during her years as a ghost. She had continued observing and, arguably, maturing mentally. Wa Nin was just gone. She'd go to the cemetery to visit a relative's grave and see her own. Who knows how she'd be received by the community at large (surely bringing back the dead is not exactly common or well-accepted magic).

That was not the choice Musa was called to make. That was not a choice Musa had the right to make.

MASTERLIST

A magic dimension is obviously going to be full of magical creatures. Fairies, witches, pixies (do specialists count as magical? To be discussed later), and several others. But what makes a fairy a fairy and a witch a witch? Aside from aesthetics and alignment, there’s always been a lack of information about the differences and makings of the various beings that exist in the magic realm. There’s also a lack of information about important beings like the Great Dragon, Daphne—nymphs in general frankly—, Faragonda, and many other people & events. Hell, no one can even tell how long the war against the Ancestral Witches lasted. Was it 16 years or over multiple centuries? Like seriously, why is Faragonda old as balls but the war started when she was a teen / young adult, but Bloom is only 16 and nobody remembers her or the war? (Even if she was born at the end of the war, that’s still not enough time for everyone to forget about it).

All I’ve been able to gather from the series is that witch magic is fueled by negative emotion & winx magic by positive emotions. But this isn’t always the case since, for example, when Bloom was infuriated because she thought Kikko was dead she released a massive amount of power. Call it a hunch, but I don’t think she was feeling very live-laugh-love in that moment. Though, you could argue her love for Kikko was the motivation even if the emotion was a negative one. Still, at the end of the day, she acted out in rage and not love.

And clearly, one’s form of magic can be changed, given Mirta became a fairy. Which I personally don’t like, she could’ve just been a good witch (which would help fight the stigma that they’re so adamant about keeping up until it’s convenient for the witches to help the good guys) but I get the school environment might’ve not been the best for her. It just sucks that the only reoccurring witch character we get are the Trix and then are expected to just accept that witches aren’t evil.

Given that Stella said Bloom was born with her powers and the city of Magix, especially the schools, don’t allow non-magical beings to enter. This has to mean the specialists are magical creatures. But the only magical thing they do is use their weapons (which I’m not even actually sure is magic or if it’s just advanced tech or both?) What specialists are is such a neglected topic I’m almost convinced they’re just regular dudes. Also, why are princes training the same way as knights or squires? Like yes, I get “military training” given Sky would lead the royal army if ever the occasion, but I would imagine there’s more to being a king than being able to fight. The princesses don’t ever get “military training” though I guess they do learn how to fight (I think, it at least looks like it) and change the color of their hair. A necessary skill to rule over a kingdom, surely.

I believe that all of their magic is the same but what they choose to do with it ultimately dictates what they end up becoming. But then that puts into question why are witches allowed to go to school? And what are any of them going to school for? Relating back to my previous rant “Cloud Tower | School of Terrorists” most of the Winx dubs have set up witches and their school to feed off negative emotion, not to mention have called most of them evil especially given the terrible deeds of the Ancestral Witches. But how does school function within the magic realm? Because in real life, it’s meant to prepare children for jobs or further education. This idea is never really explored, honestly, I think the fact that the girls are growing up and will soon leave Alfea is never really brought up (mind you I haven’t watched season 7, so maybe it is) since even once they’ve graduated they stay at the school to act as teachers. Which is cool and all, but eventually these girls have to move on. Stella, Aisha, & Bloom all have kingdoms to rule over and Tecna, Flora, & Musa have their own interests but this idea of growing up and moving on from school is never really talked about. And while I know most of my writing is about the actual writing of the series and not its influence on its audience, this idea would’ve been great for young girls to watch so they’re not so afraid of growing up and moving on. Because it’s inevitable and seeing your fictional idols experience that and overcome it, would make it less scary.

Anyway, it’s unfortunate we don’t get to see what they learn from school often. We hardly see what the fairies learn, let alone the witches or specialists. And weirdly, for a show that heavily involves magical schools, we never see any arcs about school competitions, tournaments, festivals, or interactions with other schools. Even regular high schools have basketball or football games against other schools regularly. It’s just sad how little their school life actually makes an appearance in the series. Especially when it seems they’re either too scared or too lazy (perhaps even too uncreative) to let go of them being at Alfea.

I also wish we got to see more unique cases, similar to Mirta, of people who don’t fit the binary of witch, fairy, and specialist. Also we never really learn about other kinds of these species(?)/groups, like how there are nymphs and presumably an equivalent level for witches, not to mention there are also sorcerers. It’s even weirder given Nymph is the next level in terms of fairy magic and yet none of the main crew go on to learn how to become one? But also, what is a nymph? Like always it isn’t explained, saying they’re a stronger fairy isn’t much of an explanation.

Sometimes it makes me sad to write rants like this because it makes me realize that Winx was not as unique as I thought it was nor as in-depth as it could’ve been. I still love the series of course, but taking it apart and analyzing it like this has its consequences. Though in a way, it does motivate me more to add my own ideas and creations to the series, and I hope my ramblings and machinations are at the very least entertaining!

[seth-burroughs]

Rain Code x Winx Club swap au. I can make anything

Winx Club side

I think their genders should stay the same? Fairy and witch are gender neutral.. Alfea and Cloudy Tower are no longer all-girl high schools. By my word

Yuma is Bloom/the fairy of the dragon flame, and Shinigami is Daphne/that ghost nymph that's his dead sister, it just made the most sense, and they have the same place in the MDARC universe below too anyway. Shini would be much more involved I think. Not just give him cryptic dreams but flat out follow him around everywhere and just tell him stuff.

Backstory stays the same I think? Yuma is a prince of Domino (also he has god powers. from god, made of god) and as an infant his home planet gets fucking obliterated by the Ancestresses so Shinigami yoinks him to Earth where they can't find him. Then he gets adopted and also he's 16.

"yeah so anyway many years ago in ancient history your home planet was destroyed and everyone died so I teleported you to Wyoming" "the fuck you mean ancient history I'm only like 16 how was I an infant when it happened??" "Anyway,"

After some kind of ruckus he meets a fairy (specific guy pending) then awakens his god fire dragon powers then finds out he's a fairy and then tries to lie his way into the fairy school and then joins it for real uhhh hell yeah I fucking rock at summarizing

Anyway. The winx. The six of them. We know Yuma is Bloom/the dragon flame fairy. Onto the next 5, which are the NDA since it makes most sense (peacekeepers can be the witches. whatever):

Fubuki is Stella aka fairy of the sun & moon. Kind of because of the whole "princess" thing (although, like, three of the winx are princesses anyway so it's not really that special for them), but also I think she just really fits. I think it'd be cute for Yuma and Fubuki to be the closest pair of friends there... And also because Stella's got that teleportation scepter, and planet travel is kind of similiar to time travel anyway.

Yakou is Flora aka fairy of nature. I think he should be a bit older than the others but just kept being held back a few classes (he's doing fine at school it's just. the horrors keep getting to him every time the exams roll up......). I picked him as Flora for only one reason. One reason

Desuhiko is Musa aka fairy of music because haha music. Musa I'm so sorry but he had to be someone.

Halara is Tecna aka fairy of technology because they both don't really show emotions that much and are pretty smart. So yeah. Also no Tecna slander allowed

(and while Aisha aka the princess of Andros + fairy of morphix & water(?) doesn't appear until s2, Vivia takes her place. It even makes some sense if you squint. Maybe the pixies are more ghost-like in this?)

Overall I'm actually kinda surprised how many of them fit so well lmao??? Effervescent au.

(do their transformations stay the same or should I alter them more than a bit...)

Onto the schools... Alfea's - aka fairy school - principal/headmaster (is there a difference??) is fake old man Number One. Cloudy Tower's - aka witch school where everybody is an asshole - principal/headmaster is Dr. Huesca and he fucking hates everybody in that building.

Most detectives get assigned to Alfea, and most peacekeeper/Amaterasu corp characters get assigned to Cloudy Tower.

We got the club, now onto the witches attending Cloudy Tower.....

Starting with the Trix aka the 3-person coven (they're very close and call each others "sisters" but aren't biologically. well they are distant cousins but. yknow), which are the descendants of the Ancestral Witches (where do I even fucking start. Ancient, extremely fucked up and evil and powerful, ghosts, created an artificial evil sonboy out of a stray spark of the dragon flame they found in a ditch somewhere, destroyed the planet Domino, did I say they're really really evil and most sane and normal people do not try to seek them out to serve them unlike THESE transgender little idiots), want to serve them and get really powerful and rule the world and stuff and also hate fairies but that's a given for all witches and fairies kinda lmao. They also homoerotically bully Bloom

Aside from the atrocities and bigotry and general rancidity they are actually pretty wholesome you gotta trust me on this one please you gotta believe me

Yomi is Icy aka the witch of ice. This is because 1) Both fucking changed my life and me as a person without them there would be no me, now thank them. 2) leaders. 3) in the show, Icy's generally the meanest/most sadistic out of her sisters, and Yomi does like sitting on his girlfriend and whipping people and the cube incident and the yakover incident and the whole torturing people with handmade tools. 4) perfect balance between actually competent & pathetic 5) gay 6) trans men. Icy is a man. He just doesn't know it yet. I've been saying this

Martina is Darcy aka the witch of darkness & illusions & apparently mind control. Martina's much more on the verbal/psychological side of tormenting people rather than Yomi who just prefers the more physical torture type, so she can be tweaked a bit to start manipulating people as hobby. Like Darcy. Also they got glasses. And kind of similiar hair. And date a guy. Fuck Riven he deserved to get mind controlled

Guillaume is Stormy aka witch of storms because they're both really fucking hyper although Guillaume seems to be in a much better place than Stormy. Guillaume is always so cheerful while watching people die meanwhile Stormy sounds like she's permanently on the verge of a breakdown

Wait. Wait wait wait wait a minute. So Icy sometimes turns people into ice statues in the show..... Yomi can literally turn people into ice cubes........ Effervescent au 10/10

Anyway the plot in s1 is that the Trix steal Bloom'/Yuma's dragon flame (fire powers) and do world domination for 2 minutes before Yuma wills it back into him and punts them into the sun. The bridal carries Yomi down once he's unconscious and defeated yeah that scene was pretty gay

Onto Mirta and Lucy aka the girls who get bullied by the Trix that one season and are later nearly completely forgotten as the show goes on.....

Seth is Mirta. He's the same deeply unpleasant person like in Rain Code. He does not get bullied at school because he thinks fairies don't suck, he does, he gets bullied because he's a loser.

There was that one arc where Darcy aka Martina turned him into a pumpkin in s1 and Flora aka Yakou tends to him until they find a cure. Yes that is the whole reason as to why Yakou has to be Flora. Because of woke (furroughs)

Maybe he gets turned into a flower instead......

(and I also forgot to mention but Mirta/Seth ALSO leaves Cloudy Tower to become a fairy. maybe they're exes...... forced to awkwardly interact...... maybe they start dating again............)

Lucy I'm a bit lost on currently. She was Mirta's aka Seth's only friend in Cloudy Tower and also got shoved in lockers by the Trix. Unlike Mirta, she's still rude and hates fairies (though she's a bit cowardly and VERY insecure); but sticks around with her anyway, maybe because outcasts gravitate to each other. Often follows the wrong crowd out of wanting to prove to others she's amazing, and gave off the impression that deep down really wanted the Trix to let her suck up to them, but alas, they think she's cringe - ah wait, not an impression. That's just what her character was. Back in season 1 she was OBSESSED with the Trix. Alas they think she's cringe

That's literally so pathetic it's funny. It's fucking hilarious. That poor thing.

Anyway. Who the fuck is she. Fake Zilch because uhhhh gay for Yomi???? but he's not that pathetic he's actually pretty cool he wouldn't get bullied he'll fucking kill everybody in that school and burn their bodies. Or do I tweak his role so that he doesn't suck anymore....... much to think about..........

As for the other characters, from season 1-3 since they are pretty connected unlike all the others and also the fandom considers them to be the only canon seasons of the show sometimes with the inclusion of s4 but its on thin ice

I really wanted to include Makoto and thought it'd be fun if he were Valtor.

For those who don't know who Valtor is (which is probably most of you) -- he is a villain in season 3, and he was created by the Ancestresses using only a spark of the dragon flame, and taught him how to kill people, which both made him a very powerful being. He was involved in the destruction of Domino, and while briefly defeated and dematerialized(?), he came back many years later and fucking slayed. He has minions but still actually does a lot of things on his own (even literally just tasking the Trix with the less important tasks while he carries the whole mission), is a skilled manipulator, and shows reluctant interest in Bloom (the actual keeper of the rest of the dragon flame), saves her life on their first meeting and admires her from far, expresses that he needs/wants someone capable to share his power with and while she's a thorn at his side he still tries to persuade her into joining him just for the lulz. Also he marks people. With his mark. On their neck

Both have a connection to Bloom/Yuma & a certain place, are artificially made, vampire aesthetic haha get it, and Valtor worked with Trix as his goons, so here's how Mako-Yomi interactions can still happen. Valtor is a cool villain but Makoto's not really evil, so maybe he's actually trying to bring the planet of Domino back using Yuma's dragon flame (which maybe means killing him??) and then has to be gently reasoned with so that he'd stop destroying shit.

Might be relevant...... the mind Valtor(tm) from my personal canon, not the show's canon, is actually Domino. When the Ancestresses "destroyed" Domino -- which wasn't really true, since the planet did get brough back/restored later, along with all the people on it! hmm. -- they actually trapped it inside Valtor, and he himself was a corrupted amalgamation of all the people that lived there; killing him would be what truly destroys Domino, so the Winx had to find a different solution. I just thought that banged, and--

-- what if Makoto-Valtor didn't know. What if he was just Some Guy (or thought he was) with a connection to Domino and he really wanted to go against the Ancestresses to bring it back but then he found out that he literally is just Domino and as long as he's alive it will remain dead & if he gets killed it will get lost for good. Kanai Ward reveal the truth labirynth dilemma but on steroids this time. Anyway still a wip section we're still working on details man,

also their hair kinda similiar + Valtor deserves a giant forehead

I wanted to also include the Rain Code side of this (where the winx characters get thrown into Kanai Ward instead), but the post looks pretty long as it is anyway and it's pretty late & I'm a bit tired, so I'll consider this post done and come back for it later :>

Any thoughts.... any thoughts people? I'm actually really oddly passionate about this. Hell yeah we're so back. This is what happens when you mix both of my most life ruining interests together.

[magix-winx-club]

Winx Club PJ's

Bloom

Bloom is the cozy kind of girl

She likes soft fabric that is comfy and warm

She is a sleepy girl, so she needs something that will let her sleep for a long time without waking up cold or uncomfy

She likes slow mornings and drawing a bit so no expensive things that she would be worried about ruining

She likes to read before bed

She struggles sleeping at times with all the things going on about her world being turned upside down so she needs something that will make her feel warm and safe

Stella

Stella is a princess and she likes to feel like one

She likes soft, silky and expenssive fabric

She likes to have some beautiful tailing to it, such as lace

She appreciates her beauty sleep but also looking beautiful while sleeping

Stella likes dresses and skirts and the same counts for her sleepwear

Flora

Flora is the soft girl

She carries her feminine style into her sleepwear

Cute patterns, frills and any kind of cute details

It looks like the short is a skirt so she will put on some fluffy houseshoes and a cute and warm bathrobe

Flora likes wearing two pieces not only in her everyday wear but also in her sleepwear

She likes to have mobility but also showcase the things she loves such as flowers, plants all kind of nature things

Musa

Musa stole this hoodie 100%

Not saying she stole it from Riven but...

And then would play innocent

She likes to sleep in oversized stuff, it is big and comfy and just fun

Also it looks super cute when she wears it with her hair

Sometimes she wears some shorts underneath like when the girls have a sleepover

But when she is dead on her feet she will just undress, throw her clothes on the floor slip into the hoodie and fall into bed

And don't you dare wake her up then

Tecna

Tecna likes to be covered on the bottom

She likes to play with shapes on her top, where one part is different than the other in f.ex. color

Yet she needs to be able to be comfy as she likes to stay up late and work on her computer (fewer distractions)

She doesn't wear oversized things but her sleeping wear is not tight either so she can move around without being restricted

Layla/Aisha

Layla likes a bit more simple things

Fun but also pretty

She likes her shorts to be a bit shorter as her and Musa listen to music in the evening and Layla will usually get up and dance

Layla moves around a lot in her sleep

So she does not wear anything that will tangle in her legs

There is nothing worse than waking from a nightmare and trying to get your legs free

Especially since she sleeps with more than one blanket

She likes to be warm while sleeping yet wearing long pants is annoying to her for so many different reasons such as them riding up when she moves

[recklessxdreams]

halfway through the show

Forget the dark theme and crazy clothes, this is not the biggest issue with this show

My biggest issue is that they turned Stella against Bloom. Because of Sky. Do you hear how bizzare this sounds! Never ever in the history of Alfea was Sky dating Stella. Except when Brandon pretended to be Sky but since Brandon is not even present in the show they decided to make Stella the Regina George of the fairy realm I mean.... the hell were you all thinking?!?! Winx is about friendship, about different girls becoming best friends no matter their skin color or ethnicity. But who is interested in that, right, when there’s a love triangle... Can’t we cut the stay-away-from-my-ex-or-imma-make-you-blind crap for once?!! 

Riven and Sky best friends, what in the name of Faragonda.... And speaking of Faragonda, why is this not her name??????? Where is Griselnda????

Don’t even get me started with Tecna..... Who’s idea was to cut the fairy of technology and electronics off the show??? Like, why?????

No Tecna no Timmy??????

Why is there just one school? Where are the witches??? Are there even gonna be witches????

What’s this burned ones crap????

I’m not even gonna say something about Flora and Musa.... Right, Flora was also replaced. By a brand new character Terra who apparently has a brother who is dating Musa. WHAT ABOUT RIVEN??!!!!!!!

Why is Riven in the show and not Brandon or Timmy????? What’s his purpose???? Is he even gonna be with Musa???

Let’s talk about how Stella’s mom is still alive..... Last thing I remember her mother was dead and she had a stepmother and stepsister.

Sky’s dad is dead?????? The guy was living and breathing last time I checked. He even got Sky engaged to this Diaspro princess which I presume is not even happening in the show....

Bloom finds out she’s adopted in the first episode of the first season like are you for real????????? 

Are Brandon, Timmy, Tecna and Flora even gonna appear in the show?

Will we have the Cloud Tower somewhere hidden and no one knows about it until Icy, Darcy and Stormy appear?????

My Redesigns of The Specialists

Well, since I finished with the Winx Club girls and The Trix, I figured it was time to do my redesigns of The Specialists. However, not all of them are going to be just powerless fighters. I felt it would be more fun to make their team be made up of fighters, fairies, and sorcerers. Plus, they get to have their own transformations too. The fighters get transformations similar to the Power Rangers/superheroes (Because it makes no sense for there to be an emergency and they just rush off to change clothes, which is an INSANELY dangerous time waster), the fairies will have transformations similar to the Winx Club themselves, and the sorcerers will have transformations similar to the ones from Miraculous Ladybug (Honestly, I don't know what to think for the sorcerers). Why? Because it's so much more fun that way.

Sky

Well, I got the most BORING of the boys out of the way, so that's something. For his design I used Eric's body from The Little Mermaid, the face of Derek from The Swan Princess (Or at least from a specific poster), used his second hairstyle from the show because it suits him better and look less like a surfer dude, and I used the uniforms The Specialists get in the later seasons because it's BADASS. Plus, considering that Eraklyon is related to geology, it makes sense to have some armor that looks like stones. I did change the shade of blue to match his signature color, which is sky blue (I mean, it's in his name). He is the prince of Eraklyon and the son of a sorcerer and a fairy, but they still loved him despite that he had no magic. However, that made them even more protective of him since he was a child and there was a threat of him being kidnapped and held for ransom by Yoshinoya. So Sky's best friend/squire, Brandon (Who is a fairy and has magic to protect himself and Sky) was to switch places with Sky for public appearances and in school, so that no one would know who Sky really is. The only ones who knew the truth were the royal family, the castle staff, members of the royal court, and Diaspro & her parents (Who Sky was betrothed to since they were babies). Despite having no powers, Sky refused to be helpless and studied fighting hand-to-hand combat and weaponry. Sky is a boring character but could be good if put in the right hands. Give him flaws, have him held more accountable for his actions, none of the bullshit conflict that happens with him and Bloom from seasons 4-8.

Brandon

For his design, I used the face of Edward from Enchanted, the nose of Rameses from The Prince of Egypt, the eyes of Joseph from Joseph: King of Dreams, and the body of Bolin from The Legend of Korra. I've always questioned what race Brandon was supposed to be coded as because he seemed pretty ambiguous. Was he just white but with a tan? Was he Middle Eastern? Was he Filipino? Was he Hispanic or Latino? I saw someone say he was Middle Eastern and pointed out some areas in the Middle East where they have lighter tan complexions, dark brown hair, and similar features to him. So I thought for some representation, I would go with the Middle Eastern coded option. I made him a little darker than he was in the original show by giving him Flora's skin color from the original show (Since I gave her a darker skin-tone in my redesign of her), sharper eyes, and more Middle Eastern looking nose. I didn't want to use Aladdin's nose because the noses of Aladdin and Jasmine were a little too exaggerated the same way that the noses in Lilo and Stitch were too exaggerated (Polynesians don't have potato noses). I also wanted to show some body diversity by giving him a plus-sized body. NO, Bolin's body isn't fat but it's very much plus-sized. Brandon was a fat little boy growing up because he was just built differently. However, as he got older and started training, he bulked up. He's still plus-sized but is also muscular. You're probably wondering why I decided to make Brandon a fairy. I don't know but it just works. He is the fairy of geodes! I got that idea from Diaspro's fairy form and powers. They come from Eraklyon, so the magic in that world must be related to geology. So he's basically an Earthbender lol. But his powers are rooted on rocks, stones, gems, ect. so it's no wonder his body is so solid like a rock. I also modeled his wings after Diaspro's, which I noticed are solid instead of transparent like other fairy wings. I figured that must be part of the geology themed powers. As for his costume, I based it on one of the background fairies that were seen during the destruction of Bloom's home planet, Sparx. It just looked like it suited him. He and Sky have been friends since they were little and he is Sky's squire. He's the son of one of the palace guards. Since Sky was in danger of being abducted since he was a little kid, Brandon was made to pretend he was the prince for Sky's protection. Brandon's parents were dead against it, but the king demanded it. However, it was ultimately Brandon who decided to do it, even if his parents disapproved of putting their son in danger. You may ask, how would people believe that two white parents had a brown son? No idea! I guess they just said he was naturally tan lol.

Riven

For Riven's design, I gave him the face/head of Proteus from Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, the body of Shang from Mulan, and the eyes of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. For his outfit, I didn't want to just give him the same outfit as Sky but with a different color because I wanted more individuality. So I gave him the outfits that were worn by Nex and Thoren (Sky's cousin). They looked less heroic and epic as the outfit I gave Sky, which suits Riven's more roughish nature and how he hasn't had an easy life compared to Sky (More on that later). It also has a bit of a low-key bad boy vibe to it. I still stayed true to his signature color, magenta, while making sure it didn't clash with his magenta hair, and giving him some purple to match his eyes. And I just had to give him an angry look on his face because it's Riven, so of course. Riven is my absolute LEAST favorite of the specialists. Sky may be boring as hell but Riven is ANNOYING as hell. He's poorly written, has terrible development, is always an asshole for no reason, has no backstory to justify the way he is, doesn't really change, and his relationship with Musa is absolutely toxic. In my version, I give him a backstory and better character development. His backstory is that he was born to a father that was a sorcerer and a mother that was a fairy while he was born without the ability to perform magic, which was a MASSIVE disappointment to his parents. They neglected him, emotionally abused him, and on occasion physically. This makes his actions and attitude all the more understandable. He's a show off because of how he never really got attention growing up from his own parents and is trying to make up for it, as well as prove that he is capable of great things and isn't useless just because he doesn't have powers. He's angry and a hothead but has more of a secret gentle side that he sometimes shows, MUCH MORE than the original Riven, which helps make it more understandable why Musa would have a crush on him. His emotional baggage also made it easier for Darcy to manipulate him, even giving him some magic (But takes it away when she dumps him). His backstory also gives him a reason for why he lashes out at his fellow teammates. In my version, Brandon is a fairy and Timmy is a sorcerer, so they can perform magic while he can't. He especially resents Sky because of how he was also born with parents that could perform magic while he couldn't but was still given love and attention despite this. It made him VERY angry and jealous because of how Sky manage to have parents that adore him, despite being born unable to do magic, while Riven had neglectful and abusive parents because of his inability to perform magic.

Timmy

For his face/head I used some old concept design of Milo from Atlantis: The Lost Empire and the smile, eyes, and body of Aladdin. I went with Aladdin's body because of how Timmy wouldn't be as masculine as the others but wouldn't be lanky. Aladdin has some muscles on him but he's not super built. I also gave him freckles because it's just too perfect for him. His outfit was tricky because of how I had to find a way of making him look like a sorcerer but also incorporate it with technology to go with his powers because of how he is the Sorcerer of Technology. For his scepter, I went with Tecna's Mythix wand, with some adjustments. Redheads look surprisingly really good in the color yellow. I decided to make Timmy a sorcerer because of how I feel it suits his personality. He's not as action-oriented as the other guys but more intellectual, even though he still fights. Imagine how amazing he'd be with technology with magic. He'd excel! No, I don't have him being from Zenith like Tecna but from another technology planet, though one that isn't considered as high up as Zenith. So this makes him feel a little intimidated by Tecna, that and him having a MASSIVE crush on her. He always is trying to prove that he is capable and isn't just some weak nerd. Out of all of the specialists, he's one of my favorite, if not my number one favorite. He's just absolutely awesome with how much of a dork he is.

Helia

Helia was the one that I was looking the most forward to doing a redesign of because of how I made him a fairy. Out of all of the Specialists, he's the one that really benefits the best from being made a fairy, especially when I got to his Believix and Enchantix. He has more of a feminine personality while still proving he isn't a wuss but rather a badass, despite being a pacifist. This gives him layers and depth beyond just being a typical good looking hero. Plus, his hair is just AMAZING! I used the body of Mako from The Legend of Korra, the eyes and nose of Shang from Mulan, and the head/face of Little Creek from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. I also gave him Brandon's skin tone to make him look more brown instead of just a light Asian. His outfit is very feminine but also clearly meant for a man because of how it's kind of toga looking. But I did his toga in a way that looks more Asian inspired instead of Greek inspired. Plus, this look suits his chill and relaxed personality. I made his outfit salmon pink with some orange because those colors just look so good on him and just suit his character. I made him the fairy of art, the same way that Musa is the fairy of music. So he can make art literally come to life, turn things like paint into ropes, can control paper (Particularly when in an origami shape), create portals, can jump into paintings to hide, and you get the point. Basically, his powers are awesome!

Nabu

And now we've come to my favorite of The Specialists, Prince Nabu. First of all, I want to make VERY CLEAR that in my version, Nabu DOESN'T die! That was a bunch of BULL CRAP! I mean, he's introduced in season 3 and then close to the end of season 4 they kill him off? Not to mention that out of all the boys, they chose the darkest one, who was also the love interest of black woman! She ended up having to suffer more than any of the other girls because of this. Not to mention that in season 5 they tried to replace him with a brown (But much lighter) man with terrible blonde hair and a terribly bland and boring personality to match, Roy. Then when that didn't work, they did a dumb love triangle in season 6 where the white man that has a personality mixture of Riven and Brandon, Nex. Yeah, all of this is TOTALLY not racist! And that's coming from a white man. Also, I wanna also point out that Nabu is NOT black! He is Indian, so he is coded as South Asian. Now that we got my rant out of the way, for his design I used the face/head of Naveen from The Princess and the Frog, the body of Flynn Rider from Tangled (I wanted to use Naveen but there wasn't a base of him to use or a tasteful nude picture of him), and the eyes of Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I also chose to keep his super long single braid instead of the two shoulder blade length braids he had in season 4. Why? Because it just looks SO MUCH better and is more badass. Non-white men just look amazing with long hair. He is still a prince but he doesn't come from Layla's planet, Andros. Why? Because that planet is water themed and his powers aren't related to water. His powers are illusions and healing, so it only makes sense that he comes from another planet, especially when the rules of Andros are black while Nabu and his family are Indian. He and Layla are in an arranged marriage, which she refuses and their relationship still goes the same way it did in season 3. Except, I'm having them meet during my Sirenix story line because that season would be about Layla, due to it being water themed. He still went by a disguised name, Ophir before revealing his true identity once they fell in love. So I'm giving true respect to the Sorcerer of Healing and Illusions.

And now for Brandon and Helia's Believix!

Just like the girls, Brandon and Helia are getting Believix and Enchantix forms. For the Believix forms I took inspiration from @teawithlemonacid, who did some fanart of The Specialists as fairies. I did make some adjustments of my own but still did take inspiration from that artist, so credit where credit is due. As I said when I did the girls with their Believix, the way they earn their Believix is pretty much the same way they earned their Charmix in season 2. They have to believe in themselves and overcome a personal struggle. I also took liberties with the Believix aesthetic because of how I want the fairy looks to be more timeless rather than dated-looking.

Brandon's Believix

For Brandon's design, I gave him a new hairstyle because if the girls get new hairstyles for each new fairy form, so do the boys. I gave him Nex's hair, apart from those dumb looking sideburns. I embroidered some stoned onto his outfit because of how he's the fairy of geodes. Since I also decided to have his race be Middle Eastern, I decided to incorporate some of that into his look as well. I gave him some curled toed shoes and some Middle Eastern inspired accessories. That was hard because of how most Middle Eastern jewelry are women's jewelry. I gave him Tecna's Mythix wings because they just really suit him for some reason. As for how he earned his Believix, well he had to overcome some hidden resentment he had for Sky that was starting to show during a trust exercise. He resented that he had to put his life on the line for Sky ever since they were kids. That really effects a child when they are having their lives in danger in order to protect someone else. Yes, Brandon did agree to do it in order to protect his friend but he also knew that if he didn't do it that he and his parents would be in trouble with the King and Queen. Sky's parents didn't really show much concern for Brandon's safety and that caused more resentment because Sky didn't really say anything to his parents about their poor treatment of his friend. Sky could tell something was up and it was only when Brandon stopped bottling up his feelings that things started to get better. It was emotional and difficult but Brandon felt better when he finally let it all out. It was then that he earned his Believix.

Helia's Enchantix

homeworldHelia's Believix was A LOT of fun to do. I loved getting to have his hair loose because it looks amazing. I didn't make too many changes to the outfit I modeled this after. I love how the gold has a paint-like feel to it. It really adds to his powers being art based. I used Flora's prototype Bloomix wings for his Believix wings because they just seemed to suit him. I also had the magic coming from his hand looking even bigger and more powerful than it was during his Magic Winx form. The way he earns his Believix was different from how others earned their Believix. instead of mainly being an emotional struggle, it was also a physical struggle because he had to overcome his passive nature. He has a lot of power but he holds himself back because of an accident that happened when he was a kid. Because he didn't restrain himself, a friend of his got badly hurt. The friend lived but his parents wouldn't allow him to be friends with Helia anymore. After that, Helia kept to himself, chose not to be aggressive, and wouldn't live up to his true abilities because of that accident. His grandfather, Saladin (The headmaster at Red Fountain), has been trying to break him out of it and live up to his true potential. It was only when his friends, specifically Flora, were in danger that he finally overcame his passive nature and started using his full power. This caused him to earn his Believix.

And finally for Helia and Brandon's Enchantix

We have come to Helia and Brandon's final transformations, Enchantix. Just like the girls, they must earn theirs by saving someone from their homeworld by making a big sacrifice. The boys were hard to do, due to how there wasn't really anything for me to go off of. However, I think I managed to do a pretty good job. I also wanted to have them be in revealing outfits just like the girls. I mean, fair is fair, after all. Let me know what you think.

Helia's Enchantix

For Helia, I wanted to do something that had an Asian influence to it that also showed his art powers being influenced. I gave him something that was very flowing to go with his sensitive and feminine personality while also having a rainbow theme to go with his powers. I didn't use the colors of the rainbow because I didn't want him to just look like a Pride themed look, which ended up looking awkward and busy when I first attempted it. So I limited the colors to the ones in his wings to make it look better. I still wanted to include his two main colors, salmon pink and gold while still making the rainbow colors pop. I went with a very Asian inspired hairstyle, which actually shows both of his eyes. The eye that is usually covered is actually blind, which goes with the childhood backstory I gave him that helped him earn his Believix, which will also play a part in earning his Enchantix, which I will get to in a little bit. I felt it would show him embracing himself while also showing the Asian culture. I took some liberties with the jewelry because of how most jewelry is meant for women, which is why most male looks are boring. I tried to butch up his shoes to make them look less girly and making the gems resemble a paintbrush. For his wings, I used Stella's Mythix wings because they look like a rainbow, which really suits Helia. I made his powers in his hand the biggest and strongest they've looked out of all his fairy forms. As for how he earns his Enchantix, I had him save his old childhood friend, who Helia had accidentally caused to become permanently blind because of his powers, which also caused Helia to become blind in his right eye. He had seen him but was avoiding him because of his guilt, despite his old friend trying to reach out to him during this time. He saves his old friend from an avalanche that was caused by The Trix, specifically Stormy. Helia not only almost died but his wings were crushed, so he wouldn't be able to fly. He said that he lost his friend once because of something he did and wasn't going to lose his friend again when he could do something about it. However, it was due to this sacrifice that he was able to earn his Enchantix and gain a new and MUCH stronger pair of wings. Not only that, but he had his old friend back after all this time. Helia apologized for what he did to his friend when they were kids, but his friend forgave him and said he missed Helia.

Brandon's Enchantix

Brandon's Enchantix was even more difficult than Helia's because of how Brandon's not as feminine as Helia. I took some inspiration from Tynix because of how Brandon's powers are related to geodes. I made his vest and best/waist thing look like diamonds. I even incorporated gems into his sash. I took major liberties with jewelry because Middle Eastern (Which is the race I decided Brandon is) jewelry is very limited in jewelry for men, at least from the google search I did. I love the one sleeve look I gave him with his emerald vest/armor. I even gave him some gems on the bottom of his pants. I gave him very Aladdin looking pants, only without the crotch being so low lol. I gave him the hairstyle of the character Thoren from Winx Club and Stella's Tynix wings. The way he earns his Enchantix was by saving Sky from being eaten by one of Valtor's minions, causing Brandon to be eaten instead. This cause Brandon to earn his Enchantix and his powers were enhanced to where he could destroy the creature from the inside. This earned him not only his Enchantix, but also finally getting respect from Sky's parents, who, AT LAST, apologize for how they treated him. Yeah, this is simple but you get the point.

ENJOY!

Winx Club Reboot Episodes 15 and 16 (Things are getting really interesting!)

Oh I have so much fun with these. And going into future episodes might get darker!

Episode 15:

The quiz answers thing is less of an issue because though the girls are a little hesitant to hand the answers in for fear of being accused of cheating and resealing it, they have another option. They set the envelop on fire and destroy it. That way there's no temptation to cheat at all. Yeah it might cause problems for Wizgiz but hey he's the teacher he should know the right answers without a key.

Faragonda tells Bloom and the girls about some of her suspicions. Just that Bloom is from Domino, not anything about who /exactly/ Bloom might be.

When Bloom brings up Daphne, Faragonda tells her that Daphne was Domino's princess, and that the entire royal family is supposed to be dead. But Daphne's Spirit might be trying to contact Bloom.

Though Bloom is like "why me?" She accepts Faragonda's help.

The spell is less Astral Projection and more... Lucid dreaming. We get a hint to a bit of worldbuilding because Faragonda uses her Dreamix form to enter Bloom's dreams. Theres a little exposition on how Faeries(and Witches) have many forms. Bloom's currently in her base Faerie form, but Alfea will get her to Charmix and Enchantix by the time she graduates. And there are more forms for specific things.

Going back to the dream at hand, Faragonda helps lead Bloom through the Dream to get to talk to Daphne more directly. Her mind puts Daphne in the lake, but she's not really there physically at all.

They don't answer all their questions, but they do find out that Daphne was the one who hid Bloom on Earth. At that point, Bloom wakes up and they're slammed back to reality. Faragonda is now sure that Bloom is Domino's lost princess, but doesn't.... Entirely know what to do with the info. Bloon was hidden for a reason, and for now it might be best that she stay hidden a little longer. But Bloom does have all the tools to figure it out.

We cut over to the test plot again. Several classmates(but not all) are trashed by having opened the envelope. Wizgiz is proud that none of the Winx seem to have opened it, but is confused that they don't return the emvelop. Eventually either he asks or the other students bring it up, or just he has to confront it because the Winx are ready for the test and "might be planning on opening it during the test" but ya know.

They give the truth of "Well we were tempted, and tried to return it last night but we couldn't find you so we just... Got rid of the temptation and burned it. That way we don't cheat, and no one finds it on us and accuses us of cheating."

Wizgiz is like "huh. Didn't expect that one!". They still pass.

Episode 16:

The basic plot is still the same, but the nightmares are more intense than Canon because I can go wild!

Stella: Not only is her nightmare about her parents' divorce, but the fact that she blames herself for not being able to mediate them better. So her dream visions have them criticising her for everything she did 'wrong'. Every action or conversation starter that led to them fighting. Obviously it's because of her, not just that any time they're in the room they fight.

Musa: Her nightmares are about her mom. Who, in this reboot, died a lot more recently. It's just a hodgepodge of every moment Musa regrets. Every fight they had while she was growing uo that she wishes she could trade for just one more happy day with her.

Tecna: Hers is still a technological world glitching, but a lot of it is like. More harmful virus than a normal glitch. It stems from old Zenith horror stories of viruses being able to infect people through cybernetic implants or vr simulations. Less hard hitting than the others, but still something deep in her subconscious.

We still get Pumpkin!Mirta to the rescue! Having watched the creature and is able to tell the girls what's going on.

Now knowing what they're up against, the girls fight back. This leads to a bigger fight scene as the Nightmare creature runs out and fights back. Pretty much the whole school is woken up. No one knows what's happening but hey those girls are fighting some monster lets maybe help? So even more Faeries join in and the monster is quickly destroyed.

The Trix don't appear to taunt in person, knowing that they're outnumbered. But everyone kinda guesses it's them.

Winx movie 2- Magical Adventure Comments

HOLD ON. I’m 2 min in and already got something. I thought when Stella in season 1 ep 1 said Magix was the magical dimension she meant like….all the planets with magic. They literally just said Magix is a planet? But also the girls used to be like “let’s go to Magix!” Then go into the city so for a while I was also like “maybe it’s just the city then?” So WHAT IS MAGIX? A dimension, a city, or a planet????

HOLD UP MY GIRLS THE TRIX ARE HERE?!?! I THOUGHT THEY GOT BANISHED (again) and no one seems concerned they’re back?

Oh no I have no idea who’s talking if I can’t see their mouths move I don’t like not know the voices being back the other voice actors 😭😭

Their not as sparkly in 3D but the transformation sequences look SO much cooler as well as their powers and spells

Damnnnn they gave they gave Griffin cheetah print on her collar. Nice touch I love it

So I guess the girls are splitting their time between the magic dimension, earth, and their own worlds if the movies are supposed to be cannon? Because Bloom I’m in Sparks (Sparx?) rn when the others are at the Aflea opening ceremony, but they all have their believix which means they were already on Earth where they decided to stay for a while at the end of season 4. So…I guess they love traveling?

Called me crazy but I think “the first day of spring” is not a good enough confirmation for the exact date of your WEDDING

The Trix helping the 3 ancestral witches restore their power and rule the universe- call that family bonding

“Dad I’m getting married” “Son I have TRAUMA” like damn you think he’d tell Skye back when they first learned Bloom was the princess of Sparks and RESURRECTED HER WHOLE KINGDOM

Blooms dad is a kind hearted and dumb and he must be protected

I hate these 3 maids. They tried WAY to hard to make them likeable, endearing but goofy characters and instead made them annoying af

MALE FAERIES ALERT MALE FAERIES. Movie 2 said equality and make it canon and I’m here for it. (I wonder where the male faeries study cause it’s not alfea 🤔)

WAIT WAIT WAIT now FLORA is a princess? I specifically remember before when we went to Floras world thinking it was nice that not all the girls were princesses cause I think they made a point of being like “she’s a normal girl here.” Next youre gonna tell me Musa and and Tecna are princesses 🙄 we straight up have Midas backstory in poverty and MET the princess of her world so I’m calling bs if they try and pull any of that on me

Love Stellas plan of “just kick the guards asses to get through”

Oh no plot twist her dad is forcing her to choose a husband from ones he selected now and no I don’t like him as much and I take back what I said before 😶

AHALABSJSBS I thought the “meet the princes” part was gonna be boring but I’m already laughing at the first guy who spit out his retainer due to “hyper salivating”

SET HIS ASS ON FIRE FOR GROPING YOU GIRL GET HIM 😤😡😤

Did…did skye just steal Blooms horse? That was a gift? From her parents????

EW WHO TF ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHERE ARE MIKE AND VANESSA?!?!

This is the first time we’ve seen the girls be mentally connected to their pixies where they can sense they’re in danger and I think it’s a nice addition and adds to the whole “a faerie and pixie have a strong bond” thing that seemed to have been lost some after season 2

Ew hold why did Faragonda just refer to the Trix as the “Trixies”? Are you guys SURE the movies are cannon cause I got some issues with them 😒

If they were stuck on earth post season 4 (which we have confirmed because they have the believix) then they wouldn’t need to stay at Mike and Vanessas and go through the whole “too many people in one house” thing again cause they already have a place. IM SO CONFUSED what carries over and what doesn’t and why?!????

Nabu back from the dead with no explanation. I’ve triple checked and this is the order it’s supposed to be in so I guess maybe we’ll get an explanation in season 5???

Ok Oritel is cool again. The way he just fucking swings that sword around is 😌👌

The horse they names Peg became a Pegasus wow who would have guessed 🙄 they didn’t make that obvious the second they said the name at the beginning of the movie

Uhhhhh gotta say “ancestral witches taking over the Trix bodies to become the super Trix” was not something I expected but here we are

WAIT SKYES DAD IS DEAD??????

I should have known they weren’t gonna kill kill him 😑

Bloom you don’t need to ride the Pegasus when you are literally in your believix form now you’re just showing off

Aaaaaand that’s it that’s the movie

[dragonfly0808]

If you had to pair the gang with one another romantically but not with their canon pairing, who would you pair with who?

(And bonus maybe but, at what point in the relationship do you think they would be at the moment in your story? if that makes sense?)

Bloom and Timmy, they’d just be cute nerds going to arcade and museum dates. I feel like they would’ve made sense if 1) Tecna had stayed dead and 2) Bloom just couldn’t fully forgive Sky/ could forgive him but couldn’t get back together eventually. I feel like the 2 would see each other in a new light after a long time to heal

Flora and Riven, they’d make sense in s2 if Helia and Musa weren’t there they would’ve fallen for each other

Aisha and Musa, I just think they’d be neat. They’d make sense about mid season 2 as Aisha gained confidence.

a part of me feels like Tecna and Brandon could have an interesting dynamic. Like if they bantered more in s1 and Brandon wasn’t interested in Stella I feel like mayhaps there could’ve been smth there

And I can’t think of pairings for the others sorry like maybe if I squint I could see Sky and Helia having a cool dynamic but for the others nada

Kiko Headcanons

Kiko, a prized friend and companion for Princess Bloom. The mascot of Winx. And the eternally suffering, self-appointed guardian of the Winx Club. (Yes, Kiko feels he’s supposed to protect them, and dammit they keep jumping into danger and making his fur go gray!!!)

Again, most headcanons are for my ‘Left’ verse and my ‘New Company of Light’ verse. (And just my main headcanons in general, not just in those verses.)

-Kiko is a bit of a special rabbit, though we shouldn’t have to be told that.

-He was born on Earth, but the thing is, Kiko isn’t an Earth rabbit. Not by blood anyway.

-His species is one native to Domino, a type of rabbit that is used to hot temperatures and tropical-esque storms. (And were a favorite pet of the late Queen Renee, who kept a whole group of them as her companions.)

-When Daphne teleported Bloom to Earth, Kiko’s pregnant mother had hopped in too, having sensed the danger on Domino and desperate to get away.

-From there, Kiko’s mom was taken in by a local farmer and had her babies, Kiko included. And when the time came, a family with a young girl came and claimed Kiko for her own.

-(His mom wasn’t worried that the ‘human’ girl had taken her child, she could sense the familiar Dragon Fire within her and knew Kiko was in good hands.)

-Bloom named Kiko after one of her favorite book characters, a brave knight who sought to protect his kingdom from intruders.

-Kiko couldn’t understand why, and neither could Bloom, but their bond seemed instant and it ran deep. The rabbit could easily sense Bloom’s moods and worked to try and keep her smiling and laughing.

-Vanessa and Mike thought he was a strange rabbit, some sort of new hybrid thing the farmer may have been trying to breed into the world. He acted too smart for a normal rabbit and seemed to be so human and… Actually, didn’t get sick in water? Which was strange. Really strange. (No rabbit swims. It’s bad for their delicate bodies to get wet. But… Kiko seemed to be okay with it, and even enjoyed jumping into the pool with Bloom.)

-Not to mention his color pattern was off… When they had gotten him, he was entirely white, the blue patches not coming in until he was a little older. They’d never seen a rabbit with that shade of blue before.

-And the tricks Bloom had taught Kiko to do! No rabbit should be able to do flips and walk on their hind legs so well. (Or swim!!! Or do impressions.)

-Kiko’s strength also came into question when he had a mini-tantrum and kicked at his cage and nearly broke it. (Rabbits have strong hind legs, but that was ridiculous!)

-(Needless to say, he no longer has to stay in cages. He’s quite comfortable riding in Bloom’s purse, backpack, or bicycle basket.)

-Kiko was often snuck into Bloom’s middle school, staying in her bag and snacking between classes. No one but Mitzi seemed to notice. (Or care.)

-He’s a protective rabbit and has been known to be malicious when protecting Bloom. For example, after one of Mitzi’s crueler pranks to Bloom, Kiko took it upon himself to slip out of the house and into Mitzi’s, using his incredibly strong hind legs to knock over her laptop table and chewed through many of the clothes she had left lying around her room.

-(He has also bitten Sky and Brandon in retaliation for hurting Bloom and Stella. Yes there was a fight going on around Alfea for their very lives, but dammit they needed to know who they were dealing with!)

-When Bloom discovered her magic, he was worried she’d leave for Alfea without him. He was so glad when he crossed the magical barrier and Stella said pets were usually allowed. (Though he doesn’t like the term ‘pet’. He’s more of a companion, thank you.)

-Kiko enjoyed meeting the other Winx girls and has taken to considering them ‘his’ just like he does Bloom.

-Stella is the best groomer in all of the world and has made his fur so soft and smell so sweet. He’s even found himself with a crush, though he knows it’ll never happen. (Rabbits and fairies, you know?)

-And Flora makes the best treats and has even made him some specialized foods to munch on. And her tea is so good!

-Tecna’s great at giving scratches. He’ll slip into her room when she’s working on something and she’ll just pet and scratch him while she’s contemplating or working and she talks to him about her work. (He doesn’t understand a bit of it, but as long as she’s going to pet, he’s going to stay still.)

-He loves Musa and thinks her music is amazing, but sometimes she plays on frequencies that hurt his ears and he has to hide in Stella’s more soundproofed room. (Though Musa also has this one melody that he loves her to play. It just soothes everything inside of him and he can rest.)

-Layla helped smuggle him in his own personal bath. And she lets him swim. (And she brought the pixies into their lives and now he has more friends.)

-Kiko can talk to the pixies and the pixies can understand Kiko. Typically they talk about their fairies and the shit they get into.

-Honestly, Kiko hates that Bloom gets into trouble. He hates that she goes and tries to save the world and that she gets in harms way. Hates it with a passion.

-(He’s terrified that she’ll end up dead and he’ll never know what happened and that he’ll never see her again.)

-(Especially after the whole ‘minotaur’ attack freshmen year. He witnessed the whole thing and nearly died of fright.)

-But he understands why Bloom does it. And Lockette and the others help him to remember why it’s a good thing. (He still grumbles about it, though.)

-Kiko actually enjoys hanging out with Griselda from time to time. She always has a treat on hand for him and he always has something he can do to make her laugh.

-He and Palladium do not get along though… (He may have snuck into the herb garden and sampled some of the plants… But honestly, he was just doing his job in making sure nothing was poisonous…)

-He’s not really a fan of Wizgiz and his ever-changing way either. It’s always startling and it’s given him trust issues.

-Kiko isn’t a fan of helping the girls sneak out either. He knows they’re going into danger and it just makes him want to scream. But… What can he do?

-When Knut started working at Alfea, Kiko became one of his best friends. Knut speaks a little rabbit, and Kiko has some really tall to help him get the snacks he wants.

-(He’s a stress eater, okay, and Bloom makes his life very stressful. He loves her, but dammit he’s going to have gray fur before his time!)

-(Speaking of… Kiko’s species tends to live for decades, so he’s going to be around for a while. As long as Bloom stays the fuck out of trouble!)

-Kiko enjoys it when the guys spend time with the fairies. The feelings they all give off is something else. And Brandon and Riven really know how to play with a little rabbit and make him really exercise.

-Sky is his favorite to sneak treats from though, because the Prince is always trying to kiss up to the rabbit. (He learned not to cross Bloom. He gets bit if he does.)

-Kiko has never really faced Bloom’s enemies before, but he has ran into the Trix once. He knew exactly who they were from their voice tones and their smells and it may have set him off. (Don’t ask how he managed to do it, but he jumped onto Stormy’s face and got her allergies acting up before hopping onto Darcy and biting her on the nose. Stormy’s sneezes caused twisters and he barely made a getaway. Tune and Amore, though willing to help him clean up, were not thrilled he’d resorted to acting like such an animal.)

-Once Domino was restored and Kiko was brought to the palace, he could feel a sense of belonging like he never had before. Especially once he met the rabbits that were just like him. Marion had explained his species to him and Bloom and he felt so lucky to have found his family too.

-(And who knows, maybe in the future, he’ll have his own little family?)

May Be

Summary: After you've done the impossible, there is no certainty in an upside down existence. Timmy found Tecna in Omega. Now he needs to find something that can bring her back to the life she can't recognize. Set after 3x17.

I haven't written Tecna and Timmy before so let me know how I did!

Shaking is the only constant. It may be coming from inside or outside alike, or from both at the same time. Is she falling to the ground with her mind being the last part of her going numb? Are there ice shards crumbling from above underneath the presence of a ship come to save her? All data has disintegrated from the touch of the cold creeping inside her. Even her newly constructed outfit can't block out the shivering rocking her faith as it hangs from voices she can no longer hear.

"Tecna," Timmy's voice pulls her out into the hard reality bruising her stiff fingers. Probing around is useless without the dexterity she can't find for video games anymore and through all the barriers between hers and Timmy's warm flesh.

One, two, three... Her brain is freezing from the long distance oxygen can't travel. She can't even count the dimensions between the two of them. How many freckles is it Timmy had told her he'd discovered on her skin? Will she feel warm fingers stroking her face again? At least one...

"It's okay, Tecna."

Light bursts in her vision at the clap of Timmy's hands. Her modification. Her room. Musa's bed is empty but she'll run from Stella's room along with the rest of Winx if Tecna screams again. Or at all. Maybe it had been just her nightmare that had shaken Timmy awake. She wouldn't have recognized her voice anyway. There'd been many in the ice who would've heard her. She'd had to let her terror scream on the inside.

"You're fine. You're back." Timmy grips at her shoulder with the strength the frost had held her with. It will crush her bones in the absence of the gentle stroke she needs to ground her.

"No, I am not." If she cries out, icicles will spear through her head. Will he hear her whispers? "I can't. I don't know how." She shakes her head. With a vengeance. Almost out of spite. Her brain has already turned to mush. It doesn't even rattle inside her skull. Silence. Silence fills her to leave room for her warmth to retreat into.

"What do you mean?" Timmy stares at her. Tries to decipher her. She makes no sense to him anymore. She makes no sense to herself. Is there any sense in her left or did it all melt away from her fingertips when her friends' heat touched her again?

"Every time I fall back in Omega... in my sleep," maybe if she says it enough times, it will sound like reality, "I start doubting the exit again." Her voice is like a muscle, right? She just has to practice. Say the impossible words just like she'd found the impossible rescue. "I start doubting you again. And the girls." They'd come. They'd come. Why can't she just wrap herself in the knowledge like it is a warm blanket?

Timmy doesn't respond, only holds on to her like he'll never let go. She'll have to speak, will have to find a way to tell him that's a promise he can't make her.

"I can't even sleep alone anymore." Like a child afraid of the dark that has always piqued her curiosity. The dark can be filled with countless horrors and still not scare her. She loves exploring the unknown. It is light that scares her with the emptiness it might reveal. "Every time I am alone I wonder if I will ever see you again. Just like I did when I was there." Omega. She has to say it. But all she'll be able to force out will be vomit. "Will I ever find a way out?" What answer can he give her that she'll take after he gave her her life back and she couldn't accept it?

Timmy's palm cups the side of her neck. Feeling her pulse maybe. She can't tell. Numbers hadn't been in her favor so she'd abandoned them. To melt in his touch. Maybe that is something she can return to. Maybe not. Too many unknowns to hypothesize.

"It's okay to doubt, Tecna." Looking in his eyes is unbearable. He'll give her tears permission to fall and they'll freeze on her cheeks, crack her skin open and let the little warmth he injected inside her escape. "You did the impossible."

Why do they keep saying that? What comfort is there to find in tricking reality? It will never allow you the audacity twice and they are only eighteen. How many more years do they have before they have to pay their debt and fail to overcome the impossible obstacles pulling them apart?

"I can't accept that." Her voice scrapes against his skin on hers. Is he bleeding? Will she feel cold or warmth from the red drops of life oozing out? "I questioned your ability to find me so often when I was there. It was impossible. So many things to stop you, including my own lack of resources." The words are spilling now and she can only catch so many of them to smooth their edges before they smack him in the face. "But you found me. I'm here." Even if it is a dream, it is a place where she can stay. A place where she can rest. Maybe she's dead. "Still, all there is in my head is one question. What will we do if it happens again?"

She doesn't have to think about the accuracy of the words as his heartbeat quickens along with hers. Their hearts beat as one even through the layers of clothing. The pulsing is like sharp, unrelenting pain cutting through them both.

"Maybe it was just a fluke that I came out alive. Maybe next time we won't be so lucky." She hears herself. She hears herself and she wants to scream.

"I doubted myself, too, Tecna." Timmy doesn't hush her. Just her fears. "I don't know how we'll do it again if we have to. But I do know that we will. Because we can do nothing else." The hardness of his eyes strikes her. Usually, his irises are clay he shapes with his ideas to make art. Now there are no ideas. Just a promise. "There is no way I would've given up on you. No matter how much time had passed."

She is warm inside. Not like a computer core, but like a planet. There is life igniting in her body. The life he gave her.

"You are in my heart, Tecna, and I will carry you there as long as I live."

She is immortal as long as he is. And he'd survived even the cold of Omega in her heart.
