I NEED IDEAS TO WRITE IN MY WINX CLUB BLOG PLEASE 🥺😭

Doing my annual Winx Club rewatch and posting my two year old messy sketches to celebrate

Old man Ogron

The idea of immortality goes into forever but of course they can still be killed by somebody else, so as long as eternity sounds they still would die you know. And I thought about it for a while, I came to the idea that Ogron would maybe be the last one alive. No this isn't a sad story type of thing Ogron is in peace with his memories and not in agony. This is just so long time skip of -I tried to find where I said it but failed miserably- when I headcanonning that Ogron would want to be those classical wizards during his elder days with this vibe around him. You knoww the "wizard"tm

A couple of details I want to mention

-the wizards were the 4 kings of Tir Na Nog for a long time so of course they influenced it over the centuries, the emblem on Ogron's hat is a symbol of "fairy hunter" it's like how war veterans have it. There's status of those emblems that represents your count. Ogron's is "uncountable amount Fairy Hunter", which is the highest that he wears with pride there's an X on the middle and wing symbols next to it.

-there's 3 circles on top of that on his hat those circles are to honour the other 3 black circle wizards and the same goes for the 3 circles on the thread holding his cape together infront of his chest.

-He's holding the black circle on top of his hat instead of hiding it inside of him. He's obviously stronger now so he doesn't even needs to do that.

Wizards of the Cat Circle

Tagging @coredetenebris cause cat Duman inspired the idea

In terms of specific cats, Duman’s a black cat, Ogron’s a white cat, Gantlos is a main coon and Anagan’s a bobtailed tabby

I wouldn't really agree that boys are just arm candy in magical girl shows and only there to look cute. Yeah, sure the girls' friendships are the focus, but the boys are usually very much involved in the plot and most shows do explore their feelings about the odd things that happen due to magical shenanigans even if they aren't in the know (It's why ML baffles me even more with how they screwed up Adren's arc when he's the deuteragonist, when all these boys are supporting cast and get well rounded arcs)

I'm not much of a winx fan, but the specialists were very much not arm candy. Did the girls talk about them being cute? Yes, it's what teenage girls do. Did the narrative suggest they were good looking? Yes, but that's standard for most love interests in any genre. But we still got scenes with them talking amongst themselves about how they themselves feel and they got a fair share of badass fight scenes even if they wield no magic. A large amount of episodes actually included the boys and girls working as a team solving a mystery or fighting a villain. The girls might deal the finishing blow but the boys were still integral to the plot.

I hope this doesn't come across as hate, it definitely wasn't my intention. I'm just a bit too passionate about the magical girl genre.

I do think you have a good point with ML having a problem choosing a genre or blending two genres successfully.

For the CCS fans, I will add though that Cardcaptor Sakura had both Tomoyo and Syaoran serve as sources of motivation for Sakura. And both Sakura and Syaoran collecting cards even if Sakura is the only one who could seal them and yet never made you question whether Syaoran was even necessary for the job the way ml does with Chat.

I wasn't trying to say that boys have no part to play in magical girl team shows or that they're always treated as having no lives beyond the girls, that's why I mentioned that the Winx Club boys - aka, the Specialists - have their own (mostly off screen) lives and occasionally show up help the girls:

the boys are usually off doing their own thing and only occasionally show up for a date or to give the girls a ride on their cool bikes or magical spaceship

Even then, this is certainly a simplification of the roles that they play in the story, but I kind of had to simplify their roles down to their base components for the original post's discussion as I was talking in broad strokes of how these stories are written.

In terms of those broad strokes, the Specialists are absolutely only there for shipping fodder. That's why each one is assigned to a girl from the start and why their main role in the narrative is supporting their assigned love interest or causing relationship-based drama for their assigned love interest. If it weren't for shipping, then the Specialists would not exist.

While the Specialists do have fleshed out characters and may even effect the plot, the execution of those elements is designed around the girls. A really obvious example of this is the character Timmy, who has character development as the boy's tech guy. Why is he into technology? Because he's the designated love interest for the fairy of Technology and we have to show why they're a good match. Along similar lines, the boys don't really get plots that are removed from the girls because this is the girl's show. Every episode features one or more of the Winx, but the boys are optional and often don't appear.

This is because, narratively speaking, the boys are just love interests and that brings us back to Miraculous' big problem. You can't have a show where Adrien is written like a Specialist while also being part of the Winx Club and where Alya is written like she's part of the Winx Club while technically being more of a Specialist in terms of power set and actual narrative role.

I'm was thinking back to my memories of various Winx Club plots to find one that really highlighted what I mean here and I remembered that one of the big dramas in season one was the reveal that Bloom's love interest - Sky - was in an arranged marriage and had just never told her. As it turns out, that's a great example of what I'm talking about re Adrien!

Is that plot line technically based around Sky and letting his life effect the plot? Sure, but the fallout of that reveal revolves around Bloom, not Sky. The story doesn't really care how Sky's feeling as the conflict progresses. Instead, it focuses on how it affects Bloom and her friends because of course it does! She's the main character. It would be really weird if that plot suddenly focused on her side character love interest and his friends during one of her darkest hours/biggest moments.

Think of that and then consider how the ending of season five is written. Notice any similarities? Sure, this is Adrien's family drama, but because he's just a Specialist, the focus isn't on him. It's on Winx Club member Marinette and Adrien only shows up at the end for a kiss. That is the problem. That is what I'm talking about when I say that Miraculous will randomly write him as if we're watching a magical girl team show where Adrien is just the love interest.

In fact, let's really dig into this example because it's a good one.

You can have a look at the transcript for the finale episode of Miraculous season five here and see for yourself that Adrien doesn't even show up on screen until the final scenes when the big drama is over. The Winx Club wiki also has episode transcripts, so I took a look to see what happened in Winx land during the arranged marriage reveal plot (I love that this is a thing. It's so useful for fact checking myself!) This is the script for the episode after Bloom learns the truth. Sky does not appear even though his lies and family drama are the fuel for this episode's events, which are a major part of the season's arc. Note how perfectly that matches Adrien's writing?

Similarly, Sky's dialogue in the reveal episode is all about Bloom. He's worried about her learning the truth and thinking less of him. To match that, here's Adrien's only real dialogue in the penultimate episode of season five (full transcript):

Adrien:(Covers his ears.) I cannot transform... (Looks at his ring and tries taking it off.) Plagg: What are you doing?! Adrien: I'm not in my right mind. I'm too angry — at myself for falling short of Marinette's love, at my father for sending me here in London, at this stupid app and these rings that use my image... it makes me sick! This nightmare is giving me the horrible feeling that, if I transform, I'll get akumatized and destroy everything with my Cataclysm — Marinette, Ladybug... (Takes off the ring and hands it to Plagg.)

Switching back to Winx. After Bloom learns the truth about Sky, bad things happen because she's depressed. This results in her and the Winx going off on a journey to learn the truth of who Bloom is. After the girls share this big plot moment and Bloom gets her mojo back, the boys show up to be their ride home and to give Bloom her romance moment where Sky wins her back by declaring that he broke off the arranged married because he loves her.

Sky notably doesn't get an arc about choosing between his arranged marriage and his true love. We don't even know that the marriage is broken off until he tells Bloom because that was never really a conflict as far as the narrative was concerned. Of course he's going to pick Bloom! He's her designated side character love interest! He only exists to be with her. We don't need to treat this as a serious thing for him. The arranged marriage plot was never about him anyway. It was about giving Bloom a reason to have a darkest hour moment that moves the plot forward. Similarly, Sky calling off the marriage is nowhere near as important as him telling Bloom that he's called off the marriage to be with her in a grand romantic gesture.

This perfectly mirrors Miraculous' season five ending where Adrien doesn't appear until after Marinette is done fighting her big girl power fight against his father. As far as the writing is concerned, that fight isn't about him. His connection to the villain only really matters in terms of how it affects Marinette's actions during the final battle. Then, when the battle is over, Adrien shows up to give Marinette her big romance moment because, while the plot may be driven by Adrien's family, he is not a Winx club member. He's just a Specialist. Or, in the words of the head writer:

[image text: She's Barbie, he's Ken. You don't like it. I get it. It won't change. Anything else?] (The full, even more damning context of this tweet can be found here.)

What else can I say other than, "I rest my case."

Oh, and also that I didn't take this as an attack. I just thought it was a good opportunity to really dig into the nuances of this and what I was talking about in that original post as I never know how obvious this stuff is if you don't closely study story telling. As this case study hopefully shows, if a show is about a group of girl friends using the power of friendship, then their love interests may have important roles, but the boys are never going to be more important than the girls and most of the boy's screen time will be focused on romance and how their existence effects the girls because it's ultimately the girls' world. Without them, the show wouldn't exist. Without the boys? Well, then we just wouldn't have a romance plot.

Where are the magical girl books that give the same vibes as the shows we grew up with but now more mature and grown up

[daydreamsia]

ok, so

the Ansetral Witches - Belladonna, Liliss and Thamara - were triplets, which is why coven menbers now are treated like siblings (why Icy, Darcy and Stormy call each other sisters)

but it also happens, the Ancestral Coven gets "followers", who are always a coven of three Witches as well. This is how it comes; Witches are seen as evil.

The Ancestrals are able to reach powerful Witches minds and guide them, even tho they are stuck in Oblivion.

The three coven Witches before the Trix were -

Mandragora, who mastered the use of Dark Magic, thus became the Dark Witch of Chaos

Kalshara, who mastered the use of Wild Magic, which made her the Witch of Wild Magic

and Lady Griffin

Griffin was able to block Liliss out of her mind and left their Coven when the other two created Valtor, which was only shortly before Jotunn was destroyed and Domino cursed. She's also Darcy's mother.

the pose in this drawing was based off of this panel from the first winx club comic

[monkayy]

if youre doing requests will you consider doing some of the other undersiders as fairies too. logically i recognize that only taylor, as a bug girl, is ripe for slapping wings on. irrationally i have a deep deep need to see alec in a funny little fancy fairy outfit

Ill absolutely draw alec in a funny little fairy outfit for you

I gotta say. Its difficult to make him more flamboyant than he already is

Also here's teeny sketches of the undersiders' fairy forms

Let's talk minor/background characters

I am rewatching Winx (already watched the first three seasons but then I decided to rewatch them again)

Anyway: I remember how some fairies introduced in the earlier seasons stayed till the end. That's injustice. Let's fix it. Or well, these are my opinions about them.

Francis - Fairy of Laughter

potential bonded pixie: Jolly (mainly due to the design)

I say, she comes from a drama/threatre/show-inspired planet; maybe even a opera-inspired one

she is friends with Aisha/Layla and Musa

enjoys dancing and can sing

like Aisha/Layla, she had more classical training but on her planet, it means to entertain and amuse the people

she is that friend who thinks she had to be funny and quirky

maybe a bit insecure and has the need to fit in/be popular

she earned her Enchantix because she gave up her laugh

listen, she didn't use her full potential and she thought, laughters and by her own definition joy/amusement/performance was her power

giving it up, she earned her Enchantix but didn't get her laugh back and in her own eyes that made her powerless

however, it just got sadness centered after her Enchantix (then she sees that happiness has to co-exist with other feelings)

power growth towards emotion control: emotional manipulation by spreading joy and later “absorbing” sadness

can sense and manipulate the emotions (feelings, moods and their reactions) 

manifest emotional energy to a physical level

of course, she takes up the challenge to get her laugh back

she has jester / clown-inspired look

Ahisa - Fairy of Love

comes from planet Eros (like Anne; potentially a planet full of passion, friendship, love and free expression)

everybody there has a soulmate, so Ahisa has one too

one of Amaryl's friends

self-confident and ambitious

the second, she gets really passionate about something, it becomes her new hyperfixation and might lose interest in anything else

she switches courses quite often and therefore had trouble keeping up with others (which doesn't pair well with her own ambitions)

earned her Enchatix by saving her soulmate (gives her life for theirs, woken up by a true love’s kiss)

love and friendship powers

she could even have sexual powers

healing powers

can sense soulmates of others, can help them fall in love

love arrows, love energy

seduction magic, sexual energy

maybe even fertility powers

she was warned that her powers might be less suitable for combat but she found a way to use it to her advantage even in fights

heart-themed clothes; everything pink and red

Amaryl - Fairy of Starlight

she is one of the few people that actually have a personality? so, I will add just a bit

it says she could be from Cosmosia but I like it if she is from Solaria too 

beef with Stella

she was really excited to start her education, especially with Stella expelled but then surprisngly, Stella was back and in the same classes as her

got bitter when Stella excelled at everything and got her Enchantix so early

overcame it and led her own friend group to defend Alfea (during season four, when the girls were in Gardenia)

mentor to Nova after Stella left

star powers

her power is more connected to the night and space

plasma generation, aura and manipulation

because Stella becomes the fairy of sun, moon and stars, I wanted Amaryl to either be the fairy of stars and night OR have more space powers, maybe even black holes (I went the black hole route, even if I am unsure about the starlight connection)

astronomy and astrology lover

earned her Enchantix by closing a black hole using her own control over it and being pulled into it - just to make it out with the help of her Enchantix wings

Stella and Amaryl mended their relationship, mainly because both are guardian fairies of Solaria

Ortensia - Fairy of Mind

so, in the russian version of a winx game, it says she is Codatorta’s daughter (she is a daughter of a teacher at Red Fountain, that's a fact)

hence she has amazing combat abilities

she and the Red Fountain dragons come from the same planet (they are controlled telepathically)

fashionista

unorganized, messy and never punctual

incredibly creative

she changes the interior design of her room almost every week

mind based powers

read and control minds

connect with others and “talk” in their heads

mental defenses (both physical shields and immunity to mind control)

psychic blasts

earned her Enchantix by breaking the mind control of numerous students

it was so intense, she lost her life but then came back to life because Enchantix

Priscilla - Fairy of Trees

from a planet with lots of trees and with a world tree like Yggdrasil 

nature fairy

speaks with trees reguarly

earned Enchantix by saving said world tree

she became one with it and with her Enchantix could seperate herself from it again

extremely patient

sneaks out often

never says no to a dare and got detention because of that quite often

loves challenges and going on adventure to meet new people

precognition through trees

sees past lives

past, present and future

prescient Reflexes, stronger senses

danger intuition 

death and life sense

leaf and tree manipulation, nature energy blasts
