Trix headcanon of the day #23
Which winx girl each of them is most jealous of
Icy: Aisha or Stella: has always wanted to be royalty, hence why she makes Knut refers to the Trix as highnesses. She's more jealous of all royals getting power, status, and nice things without having to work for it. I did not include Bloom because let's face it: Icy would rather die than live without magic
Darcy: Musa: Yes, because of Riven. She would lie and say she is most jealous of Stella if asked.
Stormy: Bloom: Bloom is the beloved leader of the Winx and Stormy is very much the punching bag of the Trix. She would kill for people to treat her like they treat Bloom

Winx Club Bloom Diet Plan & Workout Routine
Winx Club Bloom Bloomix Diet plan: Bloom is the main protagonist of Winx Club, and is depicted as a fairy and princess from the planet Domino. The specifics of her diet aren’t greatly explored in the series, but she’s generally shown enjoying many different foods a typical teenage girl would enjoy, such as pizza and ice cream. We can also make a few assumptions about what her diet might look…

Okay so, AU/headcanon where palladium and Legolas are adopted brothers, and they haven't seen eachother in so long that they get very emotional when seeing eachother.
I just found this so wholesome and I wish I could write a story about it lol
Also the song used in this image is I hear a symphony by Cody fry.
Oh and here are the girls reactions to this happening hehe
If my ocs were in Winх🦋. Part 1/4.
Bohdan is a boy. Yes. But we really need some more male fairies, so why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
He has the power of fire, and even though he and Vilda (oc) grew up on Earth, they were still born on different planets. It was probably Domino because: Bloom, fire, no parents, yada yada.
If we talk about the original Winx. I think they will meet, and the Winx will be for them as guides in this magical universe and friends more experienced in this. Like, they're definitely bad teachers (as of season 4, episode 1), but remember Roxy and her interaction with the Winx. She will also take a big role in this because Rainbow shouldn't be throwing a bolt🔩 at her after being part of the main characters team.
They would also be 3-4 years apart because after s4 (s5 is mostly bad, it needs to be rewritten with Aisha starring 👉 Unicorn of War) they are 19-20.
And Sophix and Lovix will be here more. They deserve MUCH MUCH more screen time.
About his behavior. He would act more like Roxy. Annoyed, not believing in it, but eventually accepting the facts. I think he will be friends with Aisha first. They have more in common and she will be the first to have a deep conversation with him (due to the non-existent episode with the accident where they were left in a cave alone with a villain somewhere nearby. A little teamwork, yada yada) And he will accept be learned by Winx, at Bloom's suggestion.
He will be on good terms with Flora. She is innocent in his eyes. He has a bit of a crush on her, but gets over it when he meets her boyfriend. He has never had pets, so Flora gives him advice and helps him take care of the cute animals. He also helped her with carrying and sometimes watering her flowers when she was on a mission.
He's on par with Tecna. They can talk about technology. He explains about human ones, she - about Zenits. There are many conversations about the Internet, and warm ones about some "dumbs", slangs, memes. And sites with Vil help her understand her emotions more. He's fine with her in his room, when Musa gets too loud with the music and she asks him to work here. She's quiet for the most part, so there's no problem for him.
Musa and Bohdan do not have much in common. But still. They show their favorite music. They came together on a few songs, mostly because they have different tastes. He accidentally overhears her phone conversation with Reven. And when they meet with other specialists and the couple argue, they talk. She didn't exactly agree with him about Riven's toxic behavior, but the conversation stayed in her memory for future reference. They may also disagree on missions. They are going to work together because of the force of the situation, at the end of the day they teem work becomes better. After that, she gets him new headphones, so they have silent reconciliation. They work well in combat.
Stella is a bit annoying in the beginning. Something he could agree with the Musa. He thinks she's too into clothes and fashion, but by mid-season he gets used to it. They are more like sibling fights than anything too serious. She took him up on it when he was "forced" to hold some of her fabric with Bloom and a slightly annoyed Muse as they made their way out. She can't find a good outfit (for the concert). He recommends some clothes to her and she thinks they are beautiful. She starts asking his opinion more and he casually says he wants to try on one of her outfits. She is surprised and funny, but with conversations, she is funny, but also good with it. It's really cool for her to have a boy friend who has taste and likes to wear skirts (rarely, but still). They are getting closer. He listens more to her talk about fashion and helps out when she and Brandon have a fight. She compliments his transformation form. Kind of reminds her of her transformation base.
Aisha. He definitely thinks she's cool. They both play sports. She helps him more with the gymnastic part, and he helps with the hitting. (He goes to the boxing section) They agree on parts of the activity and get along well. The dance, of course, is not for him, but he tries. Sometimes they watch some exercise videos with recommendations and go to the gym, but after a "villainous accident" they end up doing well at home and sometimes outside. He likes her magic training parts the most. After he finds out about Naby, he helps her when Stella tried to send her off with another boy.
Bloom. Oh Bloom. Ehh... I'm not sure, but I'll try. In the beginning, he did not go with her. As with others. He is in disbelief. Because she tries the hardest to talk about it, he distrusts her the most. Intuitively. He still feels freaked out after that and doesn't fully trust her. It fades when he sees her helping people and fighting alongside her friends, it reminds him of his own friendship. She explains to them all(ocs) that she has been in their situation and it helps to trust. He doesn't always agree with her choices, but sometimes he or she agrees that they're wrong in the end.
He finds it funny and strange that they don't transform instantly, as if waiting for disaster. Like, a villain could take advantage of that. Transforming immediately is much easier. Bloom agreed a little embarrassed. This is not the first time someone has pointed this out. She helps him calm down when he gets freaked out after his first transformation. They are both Dragon Fire users. This makes learning with her easier to understand. But magic still works differently for them, so more comes with practice. He's a little jealous of that dragon thing.
Roxy helps him overcome this "magic thing". He expects something along the lines of "it's true, you have to believe it", but when she talks about her first interaction with a Winx, he's surprised. She shows him her powers. He doesn't fully believed in it and sees them more as a very well-trained trick. But after that you know what's happening. The "Cave" situation. There he believed and accepts it completely. But Roxy was the one who made it clear because she was in that situation. She can relate. She helps them all get over it and helps the Winx understand how to interact with others.
Roxy patient in this. She also sometimes tells parts of the s4 story. Helps get over it. Understanding, that you are fairy. She and others surprised that there's four non Morgana's fairies, and the fact that one of them is male (mostly Roxy, i think others should have seen male fairy before.. maybe. (Winx know, that he's having magic, but thought he would be wizard, not fairy). Maybe Stella would be surprised in a good way and talking about this at the start) She explained about many things, met them with pets and her dad, and job.
They ask each other for advice and training. Not much talk about parents/grandparents, just over time, but no spoilers.
By the way, the Winx live in a two-floor house.
Aaand, I think that's it for now. Wow. I had no idea (how) to write their interaction, but damn. This is not so bad for very small information.
Maybe I'll write it for others.
Also, I was writing this while listening to the 2003 tmnt intro
Will be transformed 🧚♀️
Energy creatin' 🔮
My magic powers 🪄
We'll get 'em with the force and with the will 💪
I'll forever be a Winx 🧙♂️
Spoiler warning
TL;DR horrible adaptation, but very enjoyable on it’s own
(Also just wanted to say I was so sure I was going to hate this bc of what’s different but they changed so much the cartoon and the live action are barely connected in my head)
Okay my review will be split up into two parts: fate: the winx saga as an adaptation and as a standalone work
As an adaptation:
0/10. Maybe 0.5 if I’m being generous.
The things that were unchanged from winx club:
There are characters named Bloom, Stella, Musa, Aisha, Sky and Riven
Aisha, Bloom, Stella and Sky resemble their cartoon counterparts
Riven is an asshole
Bloom is a dumbass
Magic exists
The specialists exist
Main characters go to schools for magic and specialists respectively
The dragon flame is a thing
Witches exist
Other than that it’s a completely different show. The plot vaguely resembles season 1 of winx club only in that Bloom is trying to discover her true heritage. Musa, who is supposed to of East Asian descent is not, Flora was not included and in her place is a different character with similar powers, Tecna was excluded entirely ( I believe this was to distance the show from the futuristic elements of winx club and focus only on fantasy, which doesn’t make sense since they changed Musa’s powers ).
The magic system was changed. Fairies don’t on the regular transform since in the show the know-how to do so was lost, though Bloom does unlock the ability in the finale. Instead of each being a fairy of an individual concept, everyone’s powers ale element based, with Musa’s powers being changed to her being an empath. While this does feel more generic, it makes more sense from a world building perspective and I can see why they changed it.
The fashion is horrible. You will never be able to convince me teenagers dress like that. One of the reasons the original cartoon was enjoyable was all the colourful, fun clothing. The clothes feel dated and too mature for the characters, like I can see a twenty-something person in 2013 wear some of those outfits. It especially feels like a missed opportunity since 2000’s fashion is coming back into style.
The characterization of some of the characters compared to winx club was hit and miss. Riven was an ass and Bloom was impulsive and naive, which is accurate, but Stella, oh Stella was a disappointment. Stella was a jealous, manipulative bitch, which in context of her character backstory makes sense, but is so far from her original portrayal. Cartoon Stella was spoiled and at times self centered, but she was also genuinely kind, helpful and bubbly. To see her character take a 180 and become the all too familiar jealous ex archetype was upsetting.
Now, aaaaall that being said, I don’t believe we should judge this as an adaptation. They changed so much that it is quite literally a new story. So let’s see how it stands up on it’s own.
Summary, taken from the wiki
The series tells the story of Alfea, a fictional boarding school where teenagers study. The world inside this universe is not only magical and full of monsters, but it is also a world of real teenagers who do the most common things: make friends and enemies, go out and of course... fall in love. They are eager to find their place in this world. This universe is different from the one we have all known for a long time.
The attention is focused on a group of proud teens, also well-designed female characters. Sometimes they are heroines, sometimes weak girls. Sometimes they are friends, sometimes rivals. Of course, they are not perfect, but they are real. A group of girls who did not know each other until they are included in the same team inside a school that is strange to them. They will meet forces that are beyond their control and things they do not understand. But, throughout the series, they will find themselves, form an indestructible bond, and transform into powerful and strong girls, ready to change not only the supernatural world, but also ours.
Character summary:
Bloom is a newly discovered fairy from the human world who is attending Alfea college in the otherworld. There she meets her new roommates: chatty Terra, athletic Aisha, uptight Stella and stand-offish Musa. She also meets Sky, Stella’s ex, who is training as a specialist.Shortly before coming to Alfea, Bloom discovers she has magic powers by almost burning her house down and killing her parents. She is distraught over this and it is why she is eager to gain control of her powers.It is discovered that Bloom is a changeling, a barbaric practice where a fairy baby is exchanged with a human one. This leads Bloom on a quest to discover her true heritage.
Musa is an empath, she can feel the feelings of everyone around her. To shut them out and escape she listens to music through her headphones. This leads to her initially coming off as uncaring when Terra tries to get to know her better.
Terra is an earth fairy with a particular talent for making plants grow. She is very nice and chatty, eager to make friends, but not afraid to stand up for herself. She struggles with finding someone to like her and compares herself to “cool girl” Beatrix who has boys following after her.
Aisha is a water fairy who swims twice a day every day. She comes off a a good person who wants to make friends and do the right thing. She also tries to do everything in her power to protect her friends.
Stella is a light fairy and princess of Solaria, the realm in which Alfea resides. She is repeating her first year due to an event prior to season one where she lost control of her powers and blinded her best friend. She is very uptight due to her perfectionist mother and tries to exert control in every other area of her life, when this doesn’t work, e.g. when someone flirts with her on-again-off-again boyfriend she gets jealous and causes trouble. She is also generally rude to the people around her.
Sky is a specialist legacy and Stella’s on-again-off-again boyfriend who has an interest in Bloom. His father was a famous specialist and he was raised by his father’s best friend.
Riven is Sky’s roommate, best friend and a genuine asshole. He insults and antagonizes everyone around him and gets involved with Beatrix. He seems dissatisfied with the life of a specialist.
Beatrix is an air fairy with a lightning powers. She seems mysterious and looks to be the villain of the season. She has enlisted the help of Riven and Dane.
Dane is a first year specialist who first seems to be friendly with Terra but gets sidetracked after spending time with Riven and Beatrix.
What I didn’t like:
The world building is sparse and the magic system is generic. I feel like things could have been better expanded upon. Throughout the show they bring up archaic fairy magic but it’s never really explained how that’s different from current fairy magic.
The interactions between Riven and Dane come off as a bit queerbait-y although they could be setting things up for a second season.
Everyone is constantly so rude towards Terra. Even her supposed friends are mean to her. What gives?
Stella was constantly rude to everyone but by the end they are all the best of friends when she really hasn’t changed much. Also Stella being the jealous controlling ex archetype and not enough people calling her out on her bullshit.
What I did like:
For a Netflix teen drama there is surprisingly little sex between the teenagers. This might be subjective but it was refreshing for me.
Again subjective but I could definitely relate to Bloom’s antisocial teen flashbacks
Beatrix was a fun villain
Though the story might be a little generic, I felt it was compelling throughout. I genuinely wanted to know what happened next.
The story was well paced. It never felt like anything was dragging along
Overall:
The show was definitely enjoyable to watch. There is a lot of room for improvement. It sometimes felt like different plot lines were unconnected and the costume choices leave a lot to be desired. Aside from that they set up a solid story and likable characters (some of whom I love love and love to hate) which I very much want to see further developed in the future. As a stand-alone work 6/10
Actually, I couldn’t even imagine that I would be impressed by the series so much. But I really like the story and how it was rebuilt, the characters ambiguity.
So, it's Bloom raised by Sky's dad. A bit trained and a lot badassed :)
