[grips your shoulders] your unpublished fic isn't bad, it just lived in your wip folder for a while and you've reread it 15 times over

being insecure about your writing/ wanting it to come out well is totally normal but i do like to share that showing it to a friend helps ease the nerves and having a beta-reader is a huge help with knowing what works with the fic and what can be improved

Yay 200! Woop woop!

Sry I don’t have a drawing. Currently not feeling so motivated + school project stuff taking priority.

another snippet of my rewrite: First Stella POV

--------------------------------------------------------------

Stella looked in the mirror. A beautiful, almost perfect face stared back. A slim, elegant nose, full lips. She ran her fingers through her bangs. They were perfect. Not an end too long or too short. Her golden hair flowed over her shoulders and down her back. It shone in the sunlight that shone through the large window of her room in Alfea.

She sighed, looked down at herself. Every inch of her skin was perfection. Still, it was hard to smile. She tried anyway and said to her reflection: "You are beautiful, Stella."

Yes, a voice inside her said. Now you are beautiful. A perfect doll, not an ounce too much on the hips, not an ounce too little on the chest. Long, slim legs and, let's not lie, a gorgeous butt. But it's all fake. You know it. That's not really you. On the outside you may look like a beautiful swan, but on the inside you will always remain the ugly duckling that you really are. No matter how many times you go under the knife.

"You're not really beautiful Stella, it's all just a show and once people find out, no one will want to have anything to do with you."

She looked up, startled. Her reflection smiled evilly at her and continued in her own voice. "You are nothing without your beauty and it doesn't even really belong to you. What will happen when your new friends find out about it? Do you seriously think they want to have anything to do with an ugly little liar? They will leave you, just like your parents left you. Sooner or later, everyone will leave you. They will see through your falsehood and at the latest when they find out what happened last year in the potions lab - "

A crash. The sound of breaking glass. Shards of mirror clattered to the floor. Stella was breathing heavily. With one hand she wiped the sweat from her forehead, with the other she cast a spell that put the mirror back together. Her heart was pounding in her throat. Again. This was the third time this week that something like this had happened. She swallowed.

The shards floated up from the floor into the frame. Even the tiny splinters came loose from the brush that Stella had used to smash the mirror. Everything scurried neatly into its place and when Bloom stormed into the room, alarmed by the noise, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

There are other things I should be writing right now, but I'm trying to go through my draft of season 1, and I'm wondering what's preferable

I'm better at writing shorter chapters, but I feel like long ones would work better with the story in mind

A little teaser for a upcoming post

Let me know what you think, and if you are just as excited to revisit the work that started this whole fic.

(And don’t worry, after this the next thing I’ll post will hopefully be a new “let me rage” chapter.)

🌤️🌧️? :)

Thanks, Becky!

🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP.

I haven't filled in the narrative yet so no context:

"You also did take part in a plot against her kingdom."

"The plot was against you!"

"She doesn’t like being collateral damage any more than she does like being betrayed." His eyes flashed ominously at that. "I’m sure she’d warm up to you if you put a little effort into showing remorse."

"Fuck her!"

"Now how would that make you feel, dearest? I would never be that careless with your feelings."

🌧️Share something angsty from your WIP.

Here's something that I've been working on since February (and don't have much to show for it anyway):

Only the eyes of courtiers and servants stopped her and Oritel from limping out of the throne room, hunched over and leaning on each other as if they were crawling away from a battlefield instead. The lack of physical injuries only made the exhaustion heavier and the quiet days between each new incident always weighed on her mind the most. Her spine was rigid with tension after a day of sitting and her magic leaked into her fingertips agonizingly slow, sluggish with disuse. Her heart was always in her throat to silence her voice so she could listen for the slightest rustle of fabric or ripple of magic that was out of place, any early warning sign that could afford her precious seconds to save her home and her people in case of an attack.

At night Oritel would sleep with his head on her shoulder and she’d stay awake to guard him and the rest of her palace, the rest of her planet. They were never safe.

I find it amusing how many winx rewrites/redesigns are hellbent on making the characters closer to traditional fairies and witches like one of the core concepts of the show wasn’t to modernize the idea of fairy. They aren't even subtle about it in season 1, Stella immediately looks at Bloom's book and goes "yeah no that's outdated stories" and need I remind you the finale?

Not addressed to anyone in particular, just something I noticed.

Bloom: The Thesis

So, I decided to go ahead with the thesis, if you like it I might make more for other characters.

This will just essentially be a little insight into my thought process when it came to Bloom’s character, a few of my notes from my character sheet and discussing the things I added/removed from her character in my rewrite and why I did so.

Hope you enjoy it!

First Things First

The first words I wrote on Bloom’s character sheet as a bit of a paraphrase for what I felt like she was were ‘Next-door kind of protagonist’ which is definetely what she was meant to be in the original series.

Bloom’s main character traits at the very beginning of the rewrite would be: anger, loneliness and curiosity.

In the very first chapter, she’s just broken up with her boyfriend, got into a huge fight with her best friend and we see her be bullied. Bloom’s always been bullied and has only ever had few friends. She feels like she doesn’t quite fit in, doesn’t quite belong.

Her anger plays into this. Bloom’s anger issues are partially due to the Dragon Flame being under a magic block and trying to get out. But, in general, at the beginning of the rewrite, Bloom is a bit of an angry person.

This is something we saw in the OG, we see that Bloom is a bit of a hot-head and can make rash decisions, I loved that about Bloom in the first few seasons, I felt it was a good flaw to give our protagonist, so I chose to carry that over.

Bloom’s anger sets up certain conflicts, mainly her losing control and accidentally burning her friends. That is the main consequence of her anger in this rewrite, losing control, which plays into her feeling like she is way too behind compared to her classmates. The anger also converts into eventual guilt over certain things.

Finally, curiosity. I have no idea why in the OG they just… dropped Bloom’s love for drawing and fairies after like 5 episodes. Why? I feel like after season 2 there was truly no hobby or interest that truly set Bloom apart from the others.

I took the drawing from the OG and added a love for mythology and history in general.

I think making Bloom a bit of a nerd just really helps her character and also makes it so that she isn’t always confused by what’s going on since she does her research, especially about Domino (in season 2 she already knows a bit about Darkar and in general about Domino’s culture). It also gives her something that is very distinguishable and just gives her personality.

I gave her quite a bit of struggle in season 1 when it came to adjusting to Alfea, she instantly excels in History but struggles with the rest and, up til season 3 continues to despise Potions. I did this to round up her character and help make her abruptly joining Alfea more realistic.

Her main traits towards the end of season 1 and going forwards would be: loyalty, bravery and curiosity.

Her loneliness is replaced by loyalty. She has found an amazing group of friends and she is not going to lose them and will do everything in her power to protect them. And tbh, after what they go through in season 1 (and in the later seasons) can you blame her?

Her anger bleeds into her bravery. We see her nearly beat Icy to death in the last fight of season 1 and we see that her anger bleeds into guilt over not believing in her birth parents and feeling like Daphne shouldn’t have died to save her. Her anger is still prominent even after she has gotten better with it.

Part of her bravery comes from necessity, but it is still a very big part of her person.

And finally… curiosity. That’s what doesn’t change. I think it is her defining trait.

Thoughts Behind her Main Relationships

Stella: Stella is her person. From the moment they meet, they just click. I’m not even all that sure how to describe their relationship they’re just… the closest and the best.

One thing I added was the whole Taylor Swift invisible string aspect to their friendship. Their parents were best friends, their mothers were so close Luna believes she might’ve been a better mom if Marion had been around to advise her. And Stella is the one that finds Bloom on Earth and unknowingly brings her to where she would’ve ended up if Domino hadn’t fallen.

Bloom and Stella are very supportive of one another and the emotional support is very much not one-sided, they both are always there for the other.

They were always going to be friends. Bloom looks up to Stella due to her confidence and her dedication to her future as queen. Stella adores Bloom’s passion and how unapologetic she is when it comes to what has made her ‘the other’ throughout her life. They are each other’s person. And they always will be.

Their friendship is just one of intertwined souls. Their friendship is; Oh, I never knew I was looking for you but the second I met you it was like a puzzle piece falling into place and I know that I’d find you in any universe. Their friendship is an invisible string. It was always going to happen.

Sky: They are a friends to lovers situation. From the moment they meet they are quite soft with each other and I think it took them a second to develop a crush but it happened quite organically, nothing dramatic just being like ‘huh, everytime I see you I like you more and more and I’d like to get to know you even better’.

They start dating and take things slow, again, things between them are very normal and organic up until the switcharoo reveal where Bloom is obviously hurt due to being lied to, Sky apologizes, gives her her space and they decide to just stay as friends and leave it at that… but of course there are still feelings there.

So they stay friends for a while, but, since they are on good terms the feelings only get stronger and then they get together again and from there, they’re pretty strong as a couple.

I think the main problem they have is that they’re both stubborn and can both get angry easily (this gets better overtime but those cause a few issues in season 2).

But they are both incredibly loyal people and Sky sticks by Bloom side even when she’s being affected by Darkar.

Right now they’re… in a rocky place since, while Bloom does want to support him and makes sure he is okay, the fact that she made it very clear whose side she’d be on if it came down to it… that did hurt their relationship and they’re in a very unclear space at the moment and it might take time for them to be able to heal from that.

I feel like Sky and Bloom’s relationship is a tragedy, but like, a tragedy because of the narration ya know? Like there are these two kids who for all intents and purposes would’ve known each other their whole lives if Domino hadn’t fallen. Who care about each other so much and just want to be there for each other but have also hurt each other (for Sky, it’s his bloodline that hurt Bloom, for Bloom, it’s the very loyalty that Sky loves that winds up hurting him when Bloom choses a side).

Their tragedy is one of; I love you so much but the universe keeps fucking us over and revealing things that make me wonder if we truly can love each other and be together without another wave of hurt falling upon us.

Their love of each other is pure, it’s just a question of whether or not it can survive all the bullshit the universe keeps throwing at them.

Timmy: So, Bloom’s friendship with Timmy kinda came out of the blue and almost smacked me across the face as I was writing the beginning of a scene. In season 1, during the chapter with Tecna’s birthday I just kinda realized that Bloom and Timmy would totally be besties and just ran with it.

They are both very nerdy and get very invested in their interests so they’d totally listen to each other rant even if they don’t always get the others obsession. They can both be a little insecure but when they’re together that just fades away.

They just really bring out each others goofy sides and are not afraid to be weird with one another and that just really helps them click.

Their friendship is one of ‘others’ finding comfort in their ‘otherness’.

Their friendship is; you may be weird but you’re my favorite kind of weird. And I may make fun of you but I’ll never laugh at you, only with you. It’s, let’s be weird and unapologetic and free and happy because I found someone that may not share my interests but even better, they share my enthusiasm and they get me.

Who is Bloom in this Rewrite?

To me, Bloom is someone still trying to find their place. She’s a little stuck between being an Earth girl and a fairy. Between being a Winx and the lost princess from Domino. Between being a heroine and just a girl that wants to nerd out about mythology.

She’s a little unsure about what she wants to do. She has the general idea that she wants to do something regarding history or mythology but, unlike most of her friends, she doesn’t really have anything concrete.

She’s just doing her best to explore options.

On the other hand, she’s a warrior. Not by choice, but because she has to be.

Season 4 will be dealing with A LOT of imposter syndrome.

Because, in my rewrite, Bloom wasn’t born with powers or the Dragon Flame. She was born powerless. Daphne gave her the Dragon Flame and part of her magic before sending her to Earth.

Bloom wasn’t supposed to be a fighter. She never wanted to be a fighter.

The main difference between Daphne and Bloom is that Daphne ALWAYS wanted to be a queen and a warrior. She chose to be a Guardian fairy and a Nymph aside from being a princess. It may have weighed on her from time to time but she loved it.

Bloom… Bloom never wanted this. She’s a good fighter and she gets better because at this point she knows that to be the Guardian of the Dragon Flame is to be a warrior whether you like it or not.

Bloom is a girl who just wants to keep her friends safe and who feels guilty about a lot of things that are not really her responsibility but still feel like it.

Bloom is a girl who, if she’d have it her way, would just be a next-door kinda girl, nerding out about mythology and hanging out with her best friends. But things don’t go her way.

They rarely do.

——————————

Hope you enjoyed that! A little peak into my mind and a hint or two at what I’ll be focusing on in season 4.

Please let me know what you think, if I worded/communicated all of this clearly and if you’d like other character thesis.

If so, I’ll probably make a poll to see which one you want next!

I NEED HELP WITH THIS MANDRAGORA REDESIGN ( Dunno where title went so- )

So Im redesigning Mandragora ( antagonist from the Winx club ) for my SOLTK rewrite.

In this new AU, she is not the guardian of Obsidian ( Because narratively, it doesnt make sense to have a guardian for this realm if they are easily corrupted by the realms magic and can side with the opposing force and possibly release out....which is something else that can be brought into question, because if Mandragora is the guardian of this realm couldnt she had brought them out herself ? This show's writing istg--) But one of their most loyal soldiers.In my rewrite she will be contacted by Lysliss and sent out to eliminate the Winx before they get into Obsidian.She will be happy to do this due to...personal motivations.

Im also changing her color from green to orange because for one, we do not have many villains who wear orange and we already have too many charathers wearing this color, most notably being Lucy, Selina, Trittanus, Krystal, Miele ?, Aisha and Flora to a lesser extent.

I really want her charather design to line up to what we've seen how witches in Winx Club look so far, and I think her charather is a good chance to showcase how older witches might look in their transformed state.

Yeah thats it. Thanks for tuning into my tedtalk.
