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.)

after watching several povs, there's something so striking about the way mumbo died.

he dies at home, first of all, which is notable in its own right because so much of his time was spent running about, usually in pursuit of kills. he dies with grian, too— to a thing grian created, no less, but it isn't actually grian's fault for once.

mumbo dies in that tall tower and when lightning strikes, from all across the server, everyone looks. their eyes land on that tower, and everyone is watching. even in grian's perspective, you can see everyone at renwood mound, lined up and staring. those at the bamlands looked on too.

they didn't see mumbo die, but they saw grian's grief. grian, who, throughout this season, has seemed cruel and untouchable to those outside of his circle due to his involvement with and knowledge of the wild cards. they watch grian immediately crumble under the weight of mumbo's death; several of them even explicitly comment, "look at grian, he's grieving, he's in mourning."

i like to think that, until that moment, grian was almost god-like in their minds; now, though, he's the quintessential concept of humanity. grief can be religious if you do it right, after all. even beyond the grian aspect though, isn't this just the most despairing omen of what's to come?

i mean, there's something about this image of a man fallen from grace, crying out as he holds the mangled corpse of his friend in the home they made together, high in the sky, on display for all the world to bear witness to. and the world did bear witness, be it with pity, horror, joy... it doesn't matter, because they saw.

the canary curse has been broken, but this was a fittingly foreboding, tone-setting image that did a stunning job filling its shoes

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

But what happens if my world is falling to their doom?

Hold on everyone I'm gonna be sick thinking about this

The fact the Drifter doesn't even feel like they belong in the Origin System is honestly painful. The fact they feel like everyone likes the Operator more because it's originally their timeline, and they've just grown to already accept that. The fact they feel actually at home in the fucking year of 1999.

The fact they feel like they were essentially being used when being sent back to 1999, but they end up staying and feeling more at home in the year despite being sent there like an errand boy. Feeling at home in a place you've barely been in for too long compared to everywhere else you've been for the rest of your life? That must feel wild, y'know? And exciting, but also terrifying.

They just have never felt like they belonged anywhere, basically, but when being sent off on a mission by the Lotus they end up actually feeling like the place they ended up felt like home. People finally care about them, and even love them. Friendships were formed and maybe even a true and genuine heartfelt relationship. Sure, they're still surrounded by daily threats like the Scaldra and Techrot, but there's people who actively care about their well-being now.

Imagine it, no longer actually being alone for most of your life? Having people who worry about you, for the first time in who knows how many years? Getting genuine human (as 'human' as the protoframes get) interaction instead of being called around to do jobs? To simply just exist in such a place? It must feel like a huge breath of fresh air

It's so human and it's so real. You finally begin to heal from the trauma that's been a part of essentially most- if not all your life before arriving. It's such a stark contrast to how things are in the Origin System. I wouldn't want to leave either.

Yeah I like the 1999 update a normal amount (lying)

Am I the only one who only thinks of the Scooby Doo collar when looking at Asa's? Once I saw it I couldn't think of it any differently and now everyone shall suffer.

(PS, I accidentally failed in a conversation with someone and brought up Vaginal Yeast Anon)

💀💀💀💀💀💀bro

but you have a point...have we ever seen Asa and Scooby-doo in the same room together at the same time? much to think about...

I really think the Williams team hasn't realized how much of their treatment towards Logan has lost them a lot of good will among fans. Like take his lap of legends, so much work went in to that, (from Logan, Williams Alumni, and the team behind it), was such a big opportunity, and really could have had generated some much needed good pr for the team and Logan, especially with the team and their treatment of Logan. Yet they allowed it to be overshadowed by the Alex announcement, like really you couldn't have waited at least a few days?

The moment Logan leaves I can see a lot of fans, just not interacting with Williams content anymore. As much as we talk about Alex and James Vowles being the ones who are restructuring/rebuilding Williams you can't forget Logan has also been a major face of that movement. All of their new era content, like their podcasts and interviews, Logan has played a major part in and I think a lot of fans will have a bad taste in their mouth watching once he leaves on such bad terms. Because realistically Logan has the perfect personality for that type of content and it will be nearly impossible to replace him there, its why he and Alex work together so well, they can match the energy and tangents.

Then you have to take into account of them Americans and drive to survive people. They get a lot of hate for either liking the sport at all or how they get into it. Logan is their driver, if you look at social media beyond Instagram comments you will find so much support for him. It is one thing to drop Logan as a driver because he's under-preforming (though I have thoughts about That to) but to go from saying you are going to do everything to help logan to publicly flirting with new drivers? Thats just rude. And now Williams are shutting themselves off from these markets/fan bases. I'm sorry but realistically Logan is leaving F1 and Americans will no longer have a home driver to root for and they will blame Williams for that so people will not stick around.

TLDR; Williams by being dicks have shot themselves in the foot next year publicity wise

Dude caught me taking a screenshot, I'm cooked-

[reineyday]

every time i get on the revalink train, i end up thinking about the way revali says, "feel free to thank me now," and when link doesnt reply and the golden motes start to take link away for teleportation, he says, "or... never mind, just go." and he tells him to go way softer than his usual pompous tone. turns his back so he doesn't have to watch link leave as he says link's job isn't finished and then, "the princess," and revali PAUSES before he continues, "has been waiting an awful long time."

like, here is a haughty bird who got sooooo riled up bc he felt like link never acknowledged him, and then even after giving link the gift of his gale, revali doesn't get the thanks he wants, and instead of needling link about it like he might when they were all still alive and together, he just says never mind.

never mind, you never replied to me anyways (no matter how much i showed off or showed you up).

never mind, there are more important things to do (save the castle like you saved vah medoh--to avenge me?--and succeed where i failed).

never mind, the princess is waiting (and you were always too busy following after her to acknowledge me).

never mind, i'm already dead anyways. (what can i even do about any of this now?)

just go.

(you're already leaving. like always, she's already taking you.)

and then he reminds link of the princess in such a pointed manner that it's so easy to read into it. the princess... has been kept waiting--the princess is who you've always waited on, the princess is who we all died for, the princess might still be alive where i'm not. the princess tried her best, is still trying her best, and you have to go and meet her there because we cannot, and that has always been bigger than any feelings i might have ever held, any feelings i wanted to draw from you, any accolades i might have lauded or spurned, any reaction i might have gotten.

it's been 100 years, i can wait a little longer to help you (both of you) finish the job before going. guess i was wrong about... how lucky he would be.

revali's dead and he's still thinking about how much he thinks about link and feels the need to admit to himself (and to medoh) that he was wrong like aaahhhHHH i rotate his cutscenes over and over in my head like rotisserie chicken (lol).

wild life session 4 is so funny because grian and scar’s dynamic has just turned into divorced murder husbands who used to plot murders together but now plot murders AGAINST each other i love it so much

Something I think is cute is that - y’know how Raph’s eyes are more on the yellow side?

Well, you know who also has slightly yellowed eyes? Donnie.

While Raph’s are more yellow, I think it’s cute that this is something that they share and I don’t see it pointed out too often?

It’s also something they both share with Draxum and Splinter’s current form (though again, these two have much more yellow sclera than the boys do.)

But yeah, I like that there’s this little detail that ties Raph and Donnie together, even if it’s small.
