Charmix!!!

[genevieveskingdom]

Professor Palladium gives me so much Hyacinth vibes 🤩🪻🫶

I love how cute he was in Season 1, I am definitely not a fan of the dramatic change in his appearance they made throughout the other seasons. I think he just lost his charm.

They even have a similar haircut 🤭 If Cinthy's hair were long, he would look like his winged twin ✨

I love the annoyed Queen Clarion's gaze in this one 🤣🤣🤣

°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°

So let me know down below in the comments who do you find more appealing - Hyacinth or Palladium? 😊 For me, it is still Cinthy but I like them both. 🩷

The differences between Fairies from Magix and fairies from Tir na Nog are visible in their wings -

those from Magix only have wings when transformed and it looks more like their magic is leaking from their backs, since the wings appear in the color of their magic and grow in size with the major transformations

Terrestrial Fairies however are born with their wings. They are surprisingly robust, but the fairies needed a spell to hide their wings from human eyes.

Witches magic markings are growing with their major transformations. Those markings appear in the same color as their magic.

Those who practice dark magic get corrupted by it and get growing markings on their bodies. Once visible, those can't be hidden, not even with the help of magic.

As Riven's mother practiced dark magic during her pregnancy with him, he has the markings of the first stage.

hear me out: what if winx club got the high fantasy straight white female amazon/goodreads book author treatment? i’m talking sarah j maas acotar or rebecca yarros fourth wing treatment.

bloom’s the mary sue protagonist who’s from a long lost ancient lineage of dragon shifter fae and she has her totally unhealthy situationship with the blonde prince of eraklyon who reeks just of alpha male energy but oh no the bad dark wizard who’s standing in the way of her bringing back her long lost/destroyed homeworld of the dragon shifter fae is hot and centuries older than her? whatever is a girl to do!

and this is solely with this idea in my head for thirty seconds there is so much potential for this concept and it makes me giggle so so much.

More minor/background characters!

Back with the fairies!

Katy - Fairy of Animals

every fairy of animals has a deeper connection to an animal type (Roxy dogs, Katy cats)

actual animal features (like teased in the show)

comes from a planet where people are most likely hybrids / have animal features

feline physiology meaning: extremely athletic, sharp teeth and nails, heightened senses, treads lightly

deep connection with animals, can understand them

mimic the abilities, traits, and behavior of animals

she can change her features into animal ones too, even her wings!

shapeshift (potentially)

she is fearful of mice which is kind of ironic as fairy of animals, so I believe, she is quite overwhelmed by her powers and animal connection

unlike Roxy, she has not a natural good relationship with them, it develops over time

that makes using magic hard for her because she doesn’t believe in herself that much 

Katy has nine “lives” like a cat and earned her Enchantix by sacrificing herself (and losing her last life) 

Khadija - Fairy of Rhythm

I planned that she’s from Eros too, like Ahisa & they have a friendly competition who becomes the Fairy Guardian first (rivals to friends to lovers)

then she earned her Enchantix by saving Ahisa but that's already Ahisa's story, so... (I didn't notice it till I re-read it. Originally, they were all written down in the same document.)

alternative: She saves her parents.

amazing dancer and perfected all but it got too much doing them all

changed rather often before settling on just doing what is fun for her

confident and independent but more in a “if nobody comes with me, I am going by myself”-sense (Aisha/Layla admired that a lot since she was less independent by choice and more forced to be alone)

She, Francis, Musa, Aisha/Layla and later Mirta had their own dancing group and weekly hangouts to talk about concerts to visit

I struggle a bit with her powers because I like to explore the depth of the girls’ powers (as you may have noticed) and just give hints what they could accomplish

rhythm manipulation could be vibration and wave manipulation (elemental powers)

dance powers, dance manipulation could be sleep inducing and tiring people out OR wake them up, give them back energy

body and mind control by controlling heart beats and sending brainwaves 

AND based on which direction her powers take, her attire would be different. for example more ballet-inspired when controlling people like a music box figurine or puppet with strings

Dahlia/Francine - Fairy of Rivers

one of the fastest fairy at Alfea (second only to Lavigne)

water-based powers

lake and river manipulation

water body creation

superspeed, speed related powers

accelerated perception, accelerated thought process 

aquatic enhanced speed

can run over water

slowing down others

dislikes insects and bugs 

bonds with Katy over having issues to really connect with her powers

she had a hard time coming to terms with her powers because she is from an urban realm and lived in a big futuristic city with hardly any nature

she drags the girls to Magix City almost every day

Dahlia earned her Enchantix by saving an ancient creature that once lived in her homeworld 

Honorable mentions: 

Kimmy - Fairy of Thunder

Lavigne - Fairy of Speed

Karina - Fairy of Perfume

Oleana - Fairy of Leafs

Alice - Fairy of Ice

Loni - Fairy of Electricity 

Miky - Fairy of Rock

(and I also gave some powers to others.)

Selene - Fairy of Night

Kylie - Fairy of Luck

(the younger fairies get their own post someday. I promise.)

I’ve heard a lot of good head cannons for the Winx world so now its my time to drop my hat into the ring~

When the Dragon created the planets they were each imbued with a specific magical affinity, as a way to sort and balance magic by not putting too many types of it in one place. Or other reasons not too solid on that one.

And those planets grew and thrived with different animals. But only one planet grew sentient life, Domino. Because the dragon settled there it was the only planet on which ‘humans’ could come to exist. Some attuned to the magic of the planet itself and became fairies of the dragon flame, some attuned themselves to more negative energy and became witches, others somehow became wizard.

And eventually the residents of Domino figured out how to make magical gates to other planets. So they started exploring, and eventually settling on these planets.

But on these planets the magically gifted kids started displaying elements other than dragon fire. So the magic humans used became more and more diverse with each new planet a baby was born on.

The heritage of the parents didn’t really matter, unless the magic of the planet they ended up on was non-existent. You could have magic parents descended from Linphea and if their kid was born on an Ice planet their core element wouldn’t be plants, it would be ice with a frozen flower motif at best.

I’d say a kids magic potential is sort of like a black hole until they enter the outside world and it begins filling rapidly from the energy around it. Unless it is far away from a large source which it then starts pulling on threads passed down from their parents which connect them to their parents home worlds. The thread pulling can result in mixed magic.

But this is all so far in the past there are none left to remember the times fairies, witches and wizards first began to truly discover the potential of magic. This story is so ancient that Domino isn’t even know to be their civilizations cradle. Although they are still aware of the phenomenon.

This has also spawned some superstitions. Such as its bad for a pregnant person to leave their planet. Or partners should only try to conceive when they have decided which planet would be their home (or not conceive on a vacation). Even if actual traveling does not effect the baby.

[winx-reimagined]

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!

Something I am very curious about!! Aisha changes her theme color through the series run, and I want to know which one people consider her "definitive" theme colour, since it is nowhere near as consistent as that of the other Winx Club girls. Thanks to all those who vote!!

Nymphs

Nymphs are Fairies or Witch/ers who get chosen to protect the greatest power within the Magical Core of their homerealm. They are a group called the Nine Nymphs of Magix, chosen and led by the first Nymph - Omnia.

Omnia was a Fairy from Arcadia. She was the one who discovered the highest transformation a Fairy or Witch/er can reach and was able to connect to the Magical Core of her home. Thus, turning into the Nymph of Magical Essence. She got an invitation by Arcadia to join the Council of Elders inside the Timeless Realm.

The powers within each Magical Core are granted to a Fairy or Witch/er, once they have reached Faerix or High Witch respectively, were able to gain a deeper connection with the Magical Core of their homerealm and could prove their intentions are for the greater good, by living with the decision they made in order to get into the Timeless Realm (the decision of the Crystal Labyrinth).

The current nine Nymphs of Magix are:

From Callisto - Cosima, Nymph of Stardust

From Domino - ... Nymph of the Dragon Flame

From Ísheim - Freja, Nymph of Ice Crystals

From Jörd - Empress Consort Samara, Nymph of the Undergrounds

From Linphea - Queen Rachel, Nymph of the Harvest

From Melody - Setsuko, Nymph of Harmonies

From Oceana - Pearl, Nymph of Tides

From Serenia - Uma, Nymph of the Seasons

From Solaria - Dawn, Nymph of Twilight

Originally, Daphne should have been the Nymph of the Dragon Flame, but she gave those powers to Bloom, to keep them safe from the Ancestral Witches. This turned Bloom into the current Keeper of the Dragon Flame. But this also means, there is no current Nymph of Domino.

Zenith doesn't have a power within its Magical Core, due to it being manmade. But it might as well that it hasn't been found yet, since Zenith focusses a lot more on technological development.

Those who want to become the next Nymph follow and learn from the current Nymph. The one is ultimately chosen, once the current Nymph decides to step back. In the case of Linphea the following Nymph is also the next King or Queen of Linphea.

What does a “college party” look like at the magix schools?

Alfea- gather in the greenhouse or the courtyard in the middle of the night, Magic sparks in the air to illuminate everything. Floating trays with beverages and food courtesy of the older students. A lot of pop music and dancing the Magix version of YMCA, Macarena and all of that. Challenges on who can fly the fastest.

Cloud Tower- Gather on the biggest spike on the rooftop, the older witches create a bubble around them to keep all the sounds inside and most of the wind outside. Darker alternative pop or pop rock and slightly more emo music. Illusions and the most random shit floating around. Familiars all around, mostly on their respective witches shoulders. Familiar races. Dares to jump off the rooftop with their brooms or a flying spell.

Red Fountain- gather in the arena. so many dares and competitions, seeing who can outdo who, squads coming together to play board games of race or whatever shenanigans they come up with. Boys being boys. The girl Specialists are just as competitive though and it gets really interesting. Those who aren’t interested in competing are either judges/referee/cheerleaders or they’re in the dragon stables just chilling.
