#winx club younger kids

[trashcankitty12]

Aria Sexton

Youngest Child of Riven and Musa Sexton

Wild But Wise

-Aria is the youngest child of Musa and Riven, being about 11 when we first meet her.

-Her birthday is November 15, making her a Scorpio by Earth Standards and a Salamander by the Magical Dimensions.

-Out of the younger Winx kids, she’s the smallest (and fastest), something she takes great pride in.

-Aria’s hair is naturally dark like her mom’s and she has her father’s eyes. That said, she’s prone to putting dyed streaks into her hair, when she can get around it with her school obligations. 

-(Because of course her school would be the one to have rules regarding those in certain sports or activities. Something about uniformity with their group or whatever.)

-(For those wondering, she goes to a performing arts school on Melody. Though when she comes of age, she is thinking of going to Alfea like her older sister and her mother. But she’s also sort of on the fence about going into the sister school for Red Fountain, the Lilac Foundation.)

-Aria has definitely earned her wings already, having gotten them by not only standing up to a bully at her school, but also opening up to her family about some feelings she was having. 

-Mainly about preferring warrior-esque studies to magic/music based ones. 

-The girl loves being in motion and she genuinely enjoys the feeling of control she gets when she’s going through her fencing motions and martial arts programs. It’s… Fun. And freeing.

-Not to say she doesn’t love her wings or her musical abilities, she just… Doesn’t click as easily with it.

-(Riven definitely understands her in this and does his best to enroll her in all the sports she feels interested in and thinks she can handle. So far, she’s an incredible athlete.)

-(Musa’s super proud of her daughter for being able to speak her mind about this, and is so thankful that she became the kind of parent she wanted to be when she started having kids, the one her kids wouldn’t worry about disappointing because they know she loves them no matter what.)

-Aria now claims to be the “favorite grandchild” of their Gonpa since her older siblings are studying in Magix and she’s still on Melody with him.

-(It’s all in good fun. And her siblings also claim to be favorites of their grandpas in Magix.)

-She’s close friends with Winnie and the two often get into trouble when left to their own devices. Thankfully she’s gotten better at controlling her magic. And received her own phone to get her siblings’ attention.

-Her siblings because she refuses to contact her parents when she’s in trouble. Why? Because of their lectures (about her safety and about what the better course of action would have been because her parents have apparently been through everything.)

-Aria is admittedly a daddy’s girl; she spends so much time with him training or working on his levibike or even playing music.

-(The music thing is a full family affair though, everyone has their preferred instruments and they make quite the band! Aria’s a keyboardist and has a thing for alt-rock and alt-punk sounds.)

-Fencing and sword fighting are some of her favorite sports, the others being magi-ball and skateboarding. 

-In fact, she enjoys skateboarding with her older brother, even if he’s a bit of an idiot when it comes to ‘impressing’ people.

-(Boys. So exhausting.)

-(Actually, everyone is sort of exhausting. She hopes and prays she never ‘falls in love’. Too much work and too many problems.)

-Aria’s currently enrolled at the Academy of Muses Middle School and she’s one of the better students.

-She’s always taken her schooling seriously, it’s just her focus sometimes is… Elsewhere. Especially if something more major is going on in her life or her families’ lives.

-Her favorite subjects are Historical Literature, Debate Tactics, and Mathematics.

-Least favorites? Anything to do with chemicals or potions. No thank you.

-She’s in her city’s Junior Sword Fighting League. Riven’s super proud that she’s got a high ranking. (He personally trained her of course.)

-Despite not being much for traditional music, Aria loves listening to her mom and her Gonpa sing traditional Melodian songs. It makes her feel like she knows her Gonma, even if they’ve never met.

-Because her dad’s side of the family is so large, it’s hard to keep up with everyone. She does have a few cousins she enjoys having adventures with (even if they can’t ever tell their parents about their adventures, not without getting lectured to hell and back).

-Yes, okay… Aria is a bit like her dad and her mom when it comes to finding trouble or getting into trouble. But it’s not her fault. It’s not!

-Her parents taught her to always stand up for herself and be willing to stand her ground, not her fault some people like to try and push her.

-She’s not sure what her goals are for the future, as she’s still trying to figure some things out, but she does know she wants to make her family proud. (Hopefully she does just that.)

God re-writing the transformations from later seasons of Winx is proving to be a LOT more difficult than the early ones. Butterflix is giving me such a hard time rn bc the canon lore I have to go off of is literally mainly just “you get it if you prove yourself as a defender of animals” and. nothing else (at least according to the wiki). Which I mean, cool that means I can kinda do what I want, but also,,,,man I can really see the care that was being put into the lore just fading the further I go. It's kinda sad lmao.

Iginio Straffi talks about Winx Club's style and storytelling, compared to other western cartoons. Video by Winx Club Forever Italia, translation below, with some notes

If I can say, a little Rainbow style, if there is one... a Rainbow Style. This "contamination" that me and other guys around my age, some a little younger, some a little older, have lived. We grew up when we were tiny tiny with american cartoons, Disney, Warner Bros, (Hanna) Barbera, all those. But around the age of 10, back then we'd watch cartoons till age 13, 14... even when Winx came out we thought of a 12 years old target, with a complex multilayered story, many ways of reading, more teenager acts, the girls fighting, even if they're friends, etc. This kind of realism that we wanted (to implement), a little innovative, because we weren't talking to 4, 5 years old kids, but we did it 8-12 on purpose. But I mean, it can be 7-15 too... I was saying, back then at my age (of 10) that were even more mature: when I was around 10 these japanese cartoons appeared! (translator's note: he's talking about the anime boom in Italy exactly in 1978, when Straffi was 10). Rai began broadcasting these almost like a joke and then they got a hold of italian television as a whole, on Rai and private TV channels. So magically, my generation and the one right after had a bit of this influence, manga, anime, on both storytelling, which was completely different! We were used to small episodes of a certain length but always self contained with simple characters, then we got these japanese stories where there's narrative arcs, character starts here and goes there and if you missed some episodes you have to look up some summaries, how did this story get solved. Something completely revolutionary that kept us watching TV daily, everyday we were waiting to see how the story was gonna continue. But when I started writing Winx, I thought "For now, I don't care for what the italian, french, german, etc. markets want. They'd like self contained stories as usual. Let's do something more complex, that reveals itself season after season." And then, visually, like I said earlier, we didn't want to do something more western, more Disney-like, because we felt this need to "contaminate" our style with the japanese one. Something that we really liked. I remember for Winx I did a particular study on the shapes and luminosity of the eyes inspired from japanese products and we made these characters with these ... particular eyes. So that's how it is, in short. We lived in a different generation when it wasn't just Disney, the japanese came and we took it right when we were growing up, visually and spiritually.

The sparxshipping teasing from Iginio got me wondering.... if we ever did get canon sparxshipping explored, whether in a reboot or new adaptation, how would you like it for it to be done?

I'm gonna try to answer both of these in one post cause they overlap a little, but first of all thank you!

Buckle up fellas I'm bringing discourse.

This is gonna be a bit of an unpopular opinion I think, and it’s that I don’t want sparxshipping to be canon at all.

Feel free to get the pitchforks, but until then imma talk. I have villainships that I think not only add something to the overall plot, they kind of define it too. Reylo for examples, with its themes of redemption, masks and compassion, or Darklina and how important their relationship is to the war and Grisha oppression, or Lotor and Allura with its symbolism of breaking the cycle of abuse, making peace, reclaiming a heritage thought lost and so on.

To put it very briskly: an established Sparxshipping relationship adds nothing to the plot. It would have to be a plot of its own, and while there are tons of fascinating plot threads you could weave back into Domino, Bloom's family and the war before the Fall, it is simply, plainly, and rightfully so not the story Winx Club is telling.

Winx Club, at its core, is about the girls and their friendship. That is the show I love, and that is the show I am invested in. Fanfiction is a separate thing, I’ll get into that later. But canon, commercially produced and globally aired Winx Club is what we are talking about now. And the one defining truth of Winx Club is that it’s about the Winx. Their boyfriends are the side note, the Kens to their Barbies, to cement them as the cool popular teenagers younger kids are supposed to see them as. If Bloom and Valtor had a lasting serious relationship, Valtor would inevitably have to be shoved into that category as well, and that would ruin the entire appeal of him.

To boil it down even more: if sparxshipping were canon, either Winx Club would have to shift away from its intrinsic premise and formula, or Valtor would have to be diminished beyond recognition. So my longstanding opinion has always been: don’t make sparxshipping canon. Just don’t.

What I, personally, would do if I were ever to gain access to the mythical and likely overcrowded writing room at Rainbow SpA, is this:

Tease the fuck out of it.

Lean into their fucked up little hate-obsession. Every time they share the screen they have to be radiating unresolved sexual tension. Their chemistry has to be so off-the-charts it sparks a million fanfics before the season even ends. If there aren’t so many crappy amv's set to angsty Taylor swift songs it brings down the YouTube servers by midnight you have failed. Because canon is bound to certain limits, but fanfiction is NOT. The goal of any show should be to create something that will awaken an inescapable need to build on it, to continue where it left off, or to wonder but-what-if? To make people text incoherent keysmashes to their fandom buddies with shaky hands in the middle of the night and be unable to sleep until they’ve confirmed their buddy has seen it too.

I would want to see Bloom go fully I-have-lost-sight-of-everything-but-revenge until her friends manage to pull her back, I would want them to fight so vehemently the structures around them collapse and they don’t even notice. They should be in situations where they are UNDENIABLY going to die if they fight on and they still do it, they literally CANNOT stop, they don’t care to. To the point that everyone around them is seriously concerned and talking about their terrifying obsession with each other, more or less out in the open. And after a season full of epic fight scenes, high stake conflicts and frankly obscene tension between them, I would want Bloom to kill him.

Straight up.

Give her that moment of calm self assurance, at peace and perfectly in control, while Valtor tries to gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss his way out of this, contrasting the way her support network and genuine, unconditional friendships strengthen her while Valtor, who is always sabotaging everyone around him, is forced to confront his own powerlessness in the face of the power that created him. His manipulation attempts have nothing to latch on to. They have one last exchange where Valtor is visibly furious at her denial of him / his own failure — to really drive home that this is Bloom's triumph — but the last words they exchange are cordial. Maybe a comment at her growth, or a warning about his mothers, or another way to foreshadow future threats — if he couldn’t defeat her, no one should. He ends on a high note, but he does end, and it’s at Bloom's hands. She retakes the corrupted spark into the Flame she is guarding, and that is that.

And then, and this is important. He fucking haunts her for the entire next story arc. The next season, the next two seasons maybe, because she has learned a fuck ton of things from him and it is really, really difficult to move on knowing everything she does, knowing everything he implied or hinted at, or simply knowing so many really, really cruel ways to get her way now, which isn’t who she wants to be, but it would be easy, quick and effective for the greater good, right?

Boom, character conflict for the next season established, lots of potential for future flashbacks or visions, Valtor stays on his high horse of forever-the-juiciest-fucking-villain-of-the-franchise and the story can move on.

The End

Cue three decades of mind-blowing fanfiction. We all say Thank you Rainbow and cry ourselves to sleep thinking about what could have been.

[thebunniesgrim]

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

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

I feel no sympathy towards Blizto  

nothing!  

Is it just me?   

Frankly I feel nothing towards him  

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

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

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

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

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

but that being said

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But yeah, your mom died  

So sorry about that  

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

Nice going dude real nice  

like this not the way of the platypus

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

Um...  

heh

Anyways...  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Uh  

But yeah, that’s all :)

Winx Club AU: Mareas Info

The third of the general kingdom info posts for this AU, we have the kingdom of Mareas! I hope you enjoy~ :3

================================================

Mareas is one of five kingdoms on the planet of Elementis, and part of the "Elementals Alliance" along with Feor, Arian, and Erdennia. Mareas is settled near the ocean-coastline and surround swamp ands and wetlands. The capital and other major cities are in the dryer parts or near the surface, while the poorer communities are in the deeper parts. Similar to Andros in having a dual terrestrial and underwater kingdom, but not a dual-monarchy necessarily, as it is just two palaces that royal family switches between. They have their fair share of magi users, but also have one of the biggest communities for magical creatures, mainly those associated with the water like merfolk, selkies, and water nymphs.

- The Characters

* The Royal Family

. Arethusa: The ruling queen of Mareas, and the Witch of the Seabed. When she was a young child she dreamed of becoming a fairy one day, as she loved hearing stories of the good they did with their magic. However, due to how dysfunctional her family was with her parents' and older brother's scandals, when the time came her magic manifested more from her negative emotions and she became a witch instead. Despite this not being what she wanted, she used her status as a witch to set a good example for her people to follow, especially when she became the new heir and took over the throne when she was older. Although she comes off very serious, no-nonsense, and traditional-minded, this is her way of repressing her trauma and maintaining some sense of control in her life. As she is a mermaid, her mermaid abilities aid her a lot in her witch magic and she had an easier time rising through the ranks and achieved her highest witch form at an earlier age than most.

. Lian: The king consort of Mareas. He does have a weak ability to control sea plants, but not enough to be a magi and he never cared to practice it when he was growing up, so he's not very strong with it. Had a bit of a rebellious streak when he was younger, which is one reason his and Arethusa's parents arranged them together, as they thought she would be a good influence in straightening him out. Although this worked some, he became lazier if anything over the years due to marrying into royalty and no longer having to work for anything. Due in part to his nature he is not very active in his duties as a king or father, leaving Arethusa to do most of the parent work with their kids as he could care less. Never got along with Arethusa with their clashing lifestyles and attitudes, and since they both do not have romantic feelings for each he has had several mistresses over the years, with his current one being his longest affair at several years.

. Meredith: The first-born and crowned heir of Mareas, and the Fairy of Ocean Waves. Being both the eldest and heir to the throne, as well as the first fairy born into the royal family in a few generations, she has had the most attention and pressure to succeed put on her from an early age. While she did her best to take it all in stride, she has been left with a lot of internal stress throughout her life and a longing for more. She looked forward to the day she would get to attend Alfea and have a little more freedom, but her near drowning incident as a teenager not only scared her from swimming, but unfortunately made her feel hesitant to practice her magic much. While it took her a while to get over her fears, she fully embraced her life when she became an adult as she did not want to lose anymore time worried about playing it safe. While nowadays she has been busying herself preparing to become queen one day and her upcoming wedding, when her brother Brooke and his fiancé goes missing she sets off and joins a group of four other fairy princesses to not only find them, but help out anyone else who has fell victim to these evil forces.

. Brooke: The second-born of Mareas, current non-powered warrior, and future Witch of the Sea. Growing up his childhood was very rough, as many people did not bother to get to know him or his struggles better and just labelled him as a trouble-making misfit. He has always struggled with his mental health and felt conflicted about his place in the world and his home, and that no matter what he did that he would always be seen as a disappointment in his parents' and society's eyes. By far the best thing in his life and what kept him going was his relationship with his older sister, as she was always his best friend and they always had each other's backs. As he was the one that saved Meredith from almost drowning, he was inspired from both that incident and his own desire to learn physical fighting to become a non-powered warrior, as he wanted to be able to further protect his loved ones in the future. Though he's been a regular warrior for almost a decade, he does have magic and has been inspired by some of his friends and his mother to fully embrace his magic, and plans to become a witch in the future. Always having a love for traveling, he has been using his adulthood to travel across the Magical Dimension and visit all the places he wants to see and cute date spots with his fiancé, though has unfortunately been kidnapped by the villain to aid him in his plans of world domination.

. Murphy: The third-born of Mareas. While his childhood has been considerably better than both his older siblings as he is not held to the same expectations, he still has his own bouts of anxiety and feeling like he is in their shadows. He does not despise his siblings for that feeling however, as he looks up to them both greatly for their natural confidence and charisma, qualities of which he lacks and always wishes he could acquire. As he is still a child he does not get up to as much as his older siblings, but in his free-time from his studies and visits with his friend Alwyn, he likes to practice his magic more now that it has recently manifested. He's not very skilled yet as he can only summon puddles or small bubbles of water, but time will only tell if his skills will further develop and if he'll become a magi someday.

* The Other Characters

. Adrien: Meredith's fiancé. Has no magic of his own, which he doesn't mind. As he is the manager and owner of his own small but successful shop, he has become pretty fit and gained some muscle from all the heavy-lifting he has done in his life, so he could hold himself pretty good in a fight if he should ever find himself in one. While his family is fairly wealthy and well-respected in the capital city, he is not a noble nor a part of the upper-class. First met Meredith on the boardwalk a few years ago by chance, and ever since talking and getting to know each other that day, they formed a special connection that they have not found with anyone else before. So much so that they are now preparing for their upcoming wedding, though this has just recently been put on hold as Meredith has gone off on her mission, to which he fully supports yet still worries for her safety all-the-same.

. Beckham: Meredith's close friend. He does have magic, but his magic alignment is unknown as he has never really shown his magic in public. First met Meredith in their teen years before she went to Alfea, they initially had more of a work-based relationship as they got paired to work together on council assignments. It was not until one circumstance that allowed for Mere to learn his secret did they become a lot closer as friends, with them having a pretty peaceful friendship where they share mutual goals and support for each other. While he is usually calm and collected, he does have a darker aura about him that makes him come off as intimidating to some, but he's not necessarily a bad guy or villain.

. Shannon: Brooke's best friend, and the Fairy of Selkies. She is a selkie herself, but one that transforms between her selkie form underwater and a more human-fairy form on land. Best friends with Brooke since they were young teens, they have been through a lot together and have always been so supportive and understanding of each other's struggles and dreams. A famous figure skater from her kingdom, she had been doing that for most of her life before she recently switched career paths to be a model, as she had both grown tired of the petty drama happening in the figure skating scene and her new sense of style as an adult captured the attention of a few modeling agencies and fashion companies alike. She mainly models within Elementis, but has been curious and scouted to model on other planets throughout the Magical Dimension.

. Alwyn: Murphy's closest friend. Half-water nymph, despite still being a child they already have pretty strong magic and is looking into becoming a witch in the future. From the poorer parts of Mareas where a lot of social pariahs lived, they met Murphy only by chance one day and despite some awkwardness at first, they quickly hit it off. They became close friends the more they talked, and while they normally write letters to each other to keep in touch, Alwyn has been able to visit him at the palace on occasion and they enjoy getting to hang out and learn more from each other.

As someone who's decided to rewatch Winx Club (for nostalgia) I have grown to really hate The Trix.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE them in season 1. Icy, Stormy & Darcy were so cool and I adored them but after that, they appeared in every. single. season.

It drove me insane when I was a kid and I can see why. Why couldn't the villains in Wind Club be:

S1: The Trix

S2. Lord Darkar

S3. Valtor

S4. The Wizards of the Black Circle

S5. Tritannus

S6. Selina & Acheron

S7. Kalshara

S8. Valtor & The Trix

And not be:

S1. The Trix

S2. Lord Darkar & The Trix

S3. Valtor & The Trix

S4. The Wizards of the Black Circle

S5. Tritannus & The Trix

S6. Selina, Acheron & The Trix

S7. Kalshara & The Trix

S8. Valtor & The Trix

I get it, they're fan favourites but do they have to be shoved into every season? I've started S4 and I'm loving the focus on the Wizards and not having the Trix show up. I think they were in an episode but that was it.

I also get that there's a story with them that after S1, they're at this prison or a rejuvenating site and they escape, they're on the run, get imprisoned, break out but why did they go from cool & badass to just sidekicks/henchmen to the other villains?

This is nothing against them being in love (even tho that was annoying too) but I just wished the show focused on the season's villain and have no Trix whatsoever or have cutaways to them but don't have them be the main focus.

I also understand that they want revenge on the Winx and that's understandable but wouldn't it have been cooler to have not seen them until S8 where they have trained and planned the revenge? Like they weren't seen because they were making themselves stronger and are actually beating the Winx in fights when they reappear again.

I do apologise for the long rant but rewatching this show has made me realise why younger me loved the Wizards of the Black Circle way more and S4 as a whole.

Can you explain Daphne and Thoren's relationship PLEASE

Why anonymous bbg? scared that I might propose?? 😭😭 (Please find me PLEASE)

Ok have this aka the most logical thing ever -the couple that carries my whole Winx club lore

Daphne:

Right now she's 31 years old.

Born on the 28th September 1993 (EARTH TIME- Magical Universe Time - 1981)

If she ever takes the throne, which she will, she'll become the most powerful (politically- she already is the most powerful physically) person in the whole universe 😀

She's kind of a part of the Lightrock Council, which they chose a bunch of people who are younger than a century to take care of physical things such as court leading and handling executions.

Miss girl is a perfectionist. Extreme. You can't find anything she can't do. That also makes things dangerous for her as her elemental mastery is too high.

She developed an ED for the same reason. She gotta be perfect and living normally isn't gonna cut it.

She got diagnosed with ADD when she was a child but just now she found out that it was ADHD. She's now mad as hyperactivity isn't really "elegant".

She also has insomnia and PTSD. PTSD doesn't really matter to her except for when it snows in Domino.

She's cold towards anyone. Except Bloom and little children. And cats.

She's a musical performer and writer. The only thing she doesn't like about her voice is that she doesn't have a low register. Which she does but she wants it to be lower.

She sometimes visits whatever churches there are for her. For fun.

Her full name is "Daphne Kusana Elizabeth Sparks". She doesn't tolerate people using Elizabeth though.

And considering her age now, it's safe to say that the fall of Domino happened when she was 9. She -would- die if the Company of Light didn't arrive to fight. She did die when she was 22 though. That Sirenix curse lasted about 6-7 years.

Speaking of which, she actually found out she could haunt anyone she wants. She enjoyed giving Bloom her first trauma.

Thoren:

He's also 31 years old. (Shocker- also he's 53 hours younger so have that ig)

He was born on the 30th September of the same year.

Unlike his uncle aka fuckass Erendor, his father is a pretty nice person. They haven't spoken for a while now but I'm sure King Vincent still loves his beloved son.

LORE DROP: He wasn't supposed to exist. The first monarchy and the second monarchy made a deal to merge, leaving Erendor on the throne. I mean, the first monarchy wanted to at least. They had to include a catch so Erendor just put down "unless they have a kid by next year" knowing that the Queen was infertile. Not having a choice, they made the deal. Fast forward to 3 months later, the Queen found out she was pregnant. They called it a miracle but King Erendor called it a curse. Queen Samara remains unbothered. So it's basically Erendor's fault that Sky still hates Thoren to this day without a reason.

Also his mom died when he was 10. We still don't know why and no one knows where the body is. I do, but gotta keep it secret for new story ideas.

Hell, Sky adopted a fucking dog because Thoren is allergic.

The Lightrock Monastery has a kitten named Blair (Blair Waldorf from gossip girl. Thoren wanted to name it Meredith as in Meredith Grey but that name is already taken by another cat on Earth.)

Thoren is banned from the First Monarchy of Eraklyon. Since he was 13. Very "invisible string" that Daphne got banned on the same day. She got unbanned but never went there again.

He trains for fucking 18 hours a day. Yet he's still in the top 70 of the Paladin power charts. The reason for that is trauma. (Flashbacks to Sky's flashbacks in s6) He never rests either. No sleep. Psychopath ass bitch.

His left leg is prosthetic. During his first year as a Paladin intern he dropped the Earthquake Hammer on his foot. It basically shattered his whole leg. He still threatens people to crush their skull if there is a conflict.

He ends up in a hospital every fortnight. It's because of his training but not the one in Linphea College. So there's kind of a forest in Eraklyon's second monarchy. It leads to those ninja hideouts. The fact that killing at least 40 of them is a daily training thing and he has been doing this since he was 13 is very concerning. Though his first attempt was pathetic and he had to be in a hospital for 3 months.

His friend group, ESPECIALLY DAPHNE, will never ever stop making fun of him for his similarities with the Thunder God Thor.

He is also a musical performer. The only thing he doesn't like about his voice is the fact that he doesn't have a higher register. Except he actually does. But he sounds like a rock star while actually hitting high notes. And he doesn't like it. Idk what he expects.

His grandfather is still alive. And a member of the Lightrock Council. He calls Thoren "Charles".

Speaking of which, Thoren's full name is "Thoren Charles Alberich" and he might kill anyone who uses Charles. Except his grandfather. For apparent reasons.

He has a record for having the most hate accounts about him online. He kicks their asses though.

He's the only one who has more than 10 suicide attempts (12) in his friend group. Daphne comes second with 9.

He has probably performed Blue (Heathers the Musical) at least 4 times.

AS A COUPLE:

They met when they were both 8 years old at a Royal event. No it wasn't love at first sight. Stop. They were children. Also Daphne didn't like him anyway.

They finally became friends a year later, months after the Fall of Domino.

They started dating at 16. But Thoren fell first. When he was 15 actually.

A little fact to add, they both started college at 19 for secret reasons.

You know Daphne died at 22, this basically sent Thoren into a depression and during the time Daphne was gone, his suicide attempt count went from 2 to 8.

Then after they reunited somehow, Thoren proposed. Not in a normal way. I'll explain later sometime.

They got married at 28. Then there was a wedding after-party which no one except their friend group was invited to. Not even Winx was invited 💀💀💀

As much as Sky didn't have a problem with her, Daphne still despises Sky to this day.

[rodolfoparras]

Way too many shows from early 2000s getting rebooted are just too... Childish?

Like monster high, winx club, ect. They were more targeted towards older kids/teens imo. Now they're rebooting them and making them extremely childish, very brightly colored and idk ruining what made the show so well liked.

granted I do like that in the new monster high there's more rep, Frankie being non binary, Twila being autistic, and I think clawdean and toralie being lesbian - which is great! However the new art style is so ehh bright and bubbly??? Which doesn't really got with monster high

And with the winx, they removed the originality of some of the characters. One thing I always like wad Musa, Techa and Aisha (sometimes) wearing pants more often and then in the later season's they almost always are wearing skirts

Plus Musas chinese rep didn't show up nearly as much.

Sorry for the rant😭

-🌱

First of all please don’t apologize sugar!! Second of all I totally agree with you in regards of what the targeted audience was before vs now but I think that preteens and what not just don’t watch cartoons anymore they’re all on tiktok and that goes for younger kids as well so what we see now in these cartoons are elements similar to what you’d see on tiktok or YouTube and what would capture the kids attention like bright colors exaggerated movements loud noises etc

Also I applaud monster high for making such inclusive characters I’ve also seen that bratz and Barbie has started to do so as well! However I do think we’ll continue to see more bright colors exaggerated shapes and movements etc

Also I totally agree with you! I’ve seen so many characters get whitewashed and part of it is bc they may do it purposely but something that’s also happening is that these new ways of animating or designing characters are developed with a white character in mind they do not consider how much a character like musa can be stripped off of her heritage /ethnicity etc

In my opinion they all look like bobbleheads now

[starlightshadowsworld]

Fairy Tail x Winx Club

Aquarius was pissed.

She knew Layla wouldn't be the happiest with her choices but hoped her old friend would understand.

That disgrace for a human being could not raise their darling Lucy.

He wanted Layla's keys to be locked away, any trace of her too be hidden.

He yelled at Lucy when she sobbed and left her for hours on end.

And he was just insufferable.

Despite his efforts to pretend his wife hasn't existed at all, he had neglected to inform her family she had passed.

And while Layla hadn't left on the best terms, they had adored her....Aquarius hoped that they would be willing to care for Lucy.

Now to find them.

.

"Oh lighten up Griff" chuckled Faragonda, Griffin glared at her old friend but took a drink of her lemonade. "Your awfully cheery, Fara you must've figured out the prank my girls were planning."

The deadpan look from Faragonda made the witch snort.

"Ah, we need more days like this." Said Griselda with a sigh. The teachers were all in a park in magix having a picnic.

It was something they tried to organise bi-weekly though it was hard at times.

Now though, with spring break they had some time to relax.

Or so they thought.

The next thing they knew the fountain beside them started bubbling and a mermaid of all brings sprung out of it.

"Aquarius?" Asked Griffin, staring at the spirit in shock.

"You two know each other?" Asked Codatorta, raising an eyebrow. Griffin folded her arms, stern "we do... To what do I owe the pleasure."

To Griffin's suprise the usually spiteful spirit looked saddened.

"Layla has passed on."

The glass Griffin held shattered in her hands.

"... No... She can't have..." Her friends and colleagues watched in shock as she trembled in sadness.

Aquarius shook her head mournfully "A week ago, she had been buried in the Heartfilia gardens."

The sadness shifted to rage.

"What?! What do you mean?! Why was I not told sooner?!"

Aquarius let her rant before holding a hand up "you know as well as I do that he wouldn't have allowed it. He wanted us locked away, doesn't even know I'm here."

Griffin shook her head "she can't be..." Faragonda held her old friend close. She didn't know who this spirit was but she knew of Layla.

All those closed to the Cloud Tower Headmistress knew of her mysterious younger sister.

To hear she had died, a week ago was a lot to take in.

Griffin didn't speak of her much, though sometimes she got nostalgic.

Or had a few to many to drink.

And would speak of a spunky, headstrong and kind hearted girl who hadn't always agreed with the others antics but usually joined in either way.

And had left her family to marry "the one."

Layla and Griffin had an argument which lead to Layla leaving, Griffin hadn't even shown up to her wedding.

Something she lived to regret.

And now... Now she could never make amends with her.

"You know our Layla, got involved with something too big for her... And it had consequences. She became ill but she didn't want to worry anyone." Said Aquarius.

Griffin chuckled, a mix of a laugh and a sob "that's her alright..."

Aquarius looked down "It's not just that... She gave birth several years ago and...I can't leave her with that... Thing!"

She spat the word with so much hatred.

Griffin blinked in suprise, Layla had had a child?

"What's she like?"

Aquarius smiled for the first time since she'd arrived, for the first in a long time.

"Her names Lucy, she's small and terrifying. Asks a million questions and likes to run around in the gardens and get muddy."

Aquarius softened "she's the splitting image of her mother. Though she has your eyes... I came to ask if you would be willing to take her."

Griffin nodded "I will."

"Are you sure Griff? Raising a kid it's...a lot." Said Faragonda, Griffin nodded with a small smile.

"I can't leave her with that man, he was an asshole when I met him and that's when we were teenagers. It'll be hard but, I want to take her in." She said with determination.

Aquarius smiled, relieved and Loke appeared carrying a sleeping Lucy.

Griffin took her from him, she had to be around 3 and fast asleep. She had a simple white dress and was barefoot.

She was a splitting image of her late sister, Griffin teared up looking at her.

"Hello little minx, I'm sorry we couldn't have met under better circumstances. But I'm your Auntie Griffin, I don't know if your mother mentioned me but, I'm going to be looking after you. You'll be safe here with me, and have a lot of my students wrapped around your little finger I'm sure."

The teachers chuckled quietly, as not to wake up the sleeping girl.

"Oh she will" said Loke with a grin and Aquarius snorted.

"I'll keep your keys safe until she's old enough, go rest it must have taken a lot to get here." Loke nodded, bowing as he vanished.

Aquarius gave Lucy a fond look before handing Layla's keys to Griffin and vanishing.

"And don't think we won't be here too" said Cadortorta with a smile "thank you friend, I'm sure going to need it." Said Griffin.

She sat down and smiled as Lucy curled up and snuggled up to her. "Welcome to Magicx, Lucy."

[zexal-club]

Tropes applying to Zexal Club

(I'm mostly taking inspiration from TV Tropes)

Abhorrent Admirer: Miyuki towards Shark. While not physically ugly, her twisted and cruel personality that makes Pilot Shark look like a saint is more than enough to make the boy rightfully want to steer clear of her.

Action Mom: Since Kari and Yuma's mother is Bloom, this is obvious. It's a bit downplayed, though, since she's, you know, trapped and missing

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Downplayed, but the fact that Kite has to work with 3 magi haters, two of which are especially disdainful of witches, when his mother was a witch, definitely isn't doing any good for his emotional state.

Adaptational bada$$: Yuma, obviously, due to being the fairy of the freaking dragon's flame. Also applies to Kari and Kite.

Adaptational Jerka$$: The students of Heartland Academy, specifically 70% of them, due to their vicious bullying of Kikyo

Alpha B/tch: Miyuki Tachibana

And There Was Much Rejoicing: Every Magi and their family and friends when Mr. Heartland is defeated

Bada$$ Normal: Casey Reeves. While she may not have been born with magic, her skills with alchemy more than make up for it.

Battle Couple: Mari and Kikyo qualify as this

Beware the Nice Ones: Very prominent with our main characters

Crapsaccharine world: Heartland City counts as this due to how Magi are treated

Crossover/Fusion Fic: The whole premise of the AU/fic

Dark Is Not Evil: Kikyo and later Kite

Dating What Daddy Hates: Subverted. A lot of people might expect Musa to be concerned with her daughter dating a witch considering, well, the entire Winx show, but she's actually completely supportive of Mari's relationship with Kikyo.

Expy: Mari was originally this for Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Miraculous, but after I've written her independent from that and given her more of her own personality, I'm not sure how much this counts anymore. Laurent also draws inspiration from Gabriel Agreste and Aiden from Adrien Agreste.

Fantastic Racism: There is a lot of this towards Magi

Good Parents: Hannah Sharma

Hate Sink: Miyuki

Interspecies Romance: Bloom with Kazuma, Dr Faker with Mrs Tenjo, and Hannah with Chandra just to name 3 main ones off the top off my head. Mari and Kikyo may also count.

Karmic Butt-Monkey: I am so going to make Miyuki this. I know she's Yukii's OC, but this is still my AU and I say that b/tch is going to be humiliated.

Kids Are Cruel: In play when Kikyo gets severely bullied after being outed as a witch.

Opposites Attract: Mari and Kikyo

Original Character: We got plenty of these

Our Fairies Are Different: It's a crossover with Winx Club

Our Sirens Are Different: Suga

Our Werewolves Are Different: Here, werewolves are humanoid-like being with the ears, tail, (maybe nose,) claws and skills of a wolf that can change into an actual wolf and back again, along with having knowledge and skill with lunar magic, albeit to a certain degree.

Pink Is Feminine: Mari

Politically Incorrect Villain: Mr. Heartland and to a lesser extent Miyuki

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Mari as the 'red oni' and Kikyo as the 'blue oni'

Tagalong Kid: Downplayed with Casey, as she's only 2 years/one and a half years younger than the rest of her friends

Tragic Bigot: Nistro and Dextra definitely qualify as this, as their disdain towards Magi stems from their families being killed by certain Magi when they were children, and Mr. Heartland exploiting their trauma and feelings of hurt to convince them all Magi were the same - wicked, heartless monsters.

Yandere: Once again, Miyuki for Shark, Let me tell you, it is not played for laughs.

Kikyo Shama, Hannah Sharma (nee Jackson) and Chandra Sharma, Suga Hiragi and Miyuki Tachibana all belong to @yukii0nna

@yukii0nna @fair-night-starry-tears @kousaka-ayumu @bibookdemon @bakawitch @lovelyllamasblog

[winx-lore]

Thoughts on Alphea

(Again I know this is a kids show but my mind wonders when i'm bored so I present to you this)

In the Winx Club, Alfea is the main location featured in the show, even when the girls have graduated school, however not much is explained about the school itself and how it runs and has to be inferred instead. So thats what I did.

So how would I propose that Alfea be designed?

The school would first of all not be a High school but instead a university/college which they attend from 18 years old (ish). The show was written and aimed for kids so I understand making Bloom 16 at the start of S1. However between the dorm mates, parties, parental freedom and training to become royals and fighters it makes more sense for the Winx, students of Alphea, Cloud Tower, and Red Fountain to be older than the 16 year olds in season 1. I would note that in this concept students in Red fountain start when their 16ish and have 5 years at red fountain (start training them young and explains why the boys were already red fountain students at the start of S1).

Alfea would also not be a normal college, but instead a very highly ranked college with large tuition fees and barriers to enter. Like older colleges and universities there is the prestige that comes with attending an older established institute, especially one responsible for holding magical objects (think codex S2) and hosting members of the Company of Light. The school would have better facilities (Magical reality Chamber), teachers and future opportunities than most other magic colleges in the magical dimension.

Alfea would also differ from other colleges by striving to make their students earn Charmix and teach and help train their Enchantix. Enchantix is a fairy form that is not earned easily and not commonly achieved and so most magic schools do not cover such a high power form. However Alfea is there to teach the next generation of Leaders and Guardians and so push their students. Training them if they develop Enchantix, or just going into great detail about these powers or help so they can to best prepare them for the future where they have a higher chance of earning Enchantix. (cos they will be responsible for people)

Because of this high quality of education plus the prestige associated with Alfea many royals and political leaders send their children to attend. These children make up a large portion of the schools students which ties in with the large amount of royalty we see in the series. Such as Stella, Crystal, Galatea and Veranda (though she didn't end up attending), even Musa, in one of the animation versions, is technically a distant royal . In this concept I would make Techna the daughter of a council member of Zenith, so not royalty and also not a role that can be inherited but only voted in democratically.

As well as these upperclass students there are also students who come from more normal backgrounds, who are chosen to attend due to having strong magical abilities with the aim of them becoming guardian fairies when they graduate and help defend the magical dimension. These students are able to apply and attend Alfea through the support of a sponsor. A sponsor vouches for the students entry as well as cover their costs and can be either an institution (such as a planet/royal family/Alfea itself) or a person (such as a Guardian/Nymph/Influential member of society).

The best example of this type of student in this concept would be Flora. In the series she is the daughter of two Vets on Linphea and in this concept lives in Separate land from the main Linphea (where the royals live) which is a nature reserve for animals and so only has small villages of humans. She is recognised by teachers for her stronger powers (she is the fairy of nature) which leads to the royal family sponsoring her to attend Alfea so to become a guardian fairy for Linphea. This would explain why her younger sister attends the Linphean fairy college in the later seasons as she is not sponsored and has to stay more local.

Overall Alfea would not be a normal school, but instead one for the development and training for the future Leaders, Protectors and visionaries of the Magical dimension. Which then makes the abnormal amount of royals and the amount of times the school is in danger in the series more plausible.
