YES THANK YOU

tecna lacks so much appreciation she is a QUEEN.

the thing about characters like tecna is that people will often think they are strictly one-dimensional and lack nuance. that they only breathe complex facts and figures. that they are only funny when they are not trying to be funny. but tecna turns that notion on its head by being so emotional and so accepting of her emotional landscape once she reconciles her inner conflicts, and at times, by not being very rational. while tecna can be awkward at times and miss a social cue or two, she can also be intentionally hilarious and sharp through her spirited and bold remarks; do not forget the way she sassed riven in the minotaur episode or the way she cleverly had the last word with the beta girls. point is, please do not pigeonhole tecna into a predefined box or a particular stereotype. she deserves so much more than that.

nailed it

i also feel like stella helps tecna to let go sometimes, to help her live more freely and step out of her comfort zone. tenca would totally not break so many rules at alfea if not for her friends.

what i love about winx friendships is that, each duo has its own unique dynamic.

let's take stella as an example!

bloom is her bestie whom she's immediately clicked with. even though it was an instant connection, it has never been an intense nor forced type of a bond. they're simply just so alike. bloom is impulsive with her actions, stella is impulsive with her words. they're both incredibly protective of others. and most things done by either of them, have been done out of pure burning passion. welp, they are literally the hottest fairies after all! :3

flora has a personality almost opposite of hers. stella's tongue works faster than her brain. meanwhile, flora is thoughtful. stella doesn't understand other people's emotions much, but flora is extremely empathetic. them being so different from each other causes them to fight so often. but regardless of their disagreements, they still love each other dearly. (also their arguments are quite entertaining ngl)

musa and stella are equally blunt. this causes constant back and forth roasts and brutal honesty. i feel like people who don't know them well could mistake their dynamic as rivalry. but no, they're just both playful, sassy queens who have an amazing sense of humor.

tecna, even though she's capable of analyzing anything that exists...she can't find logic in stella's behavior whatsoever. why does she get more and more silly as the issues are continuously piling up? why can't she just be serious for once? tecna remains serious and focused in those situations, because what is there to joke about? but even though stella's behavior is irritating to tecna at times, i'm sure she helps her loosen up a lil with her laid back attitude.

also, keep in mind these are my impressions based on watching only first season!! i will yap more about their friendships as i continue watching the show! ✨

ughhh this is so goooood

Ive been noodling around with the idea of icy being bloom’s mirror since with her backstory in season 8 it sure looks that way. But instead. I shall do smth else.

Icy’s mirror is not bloom. Bloom n icy are not mirrors of each other.

Icy’s mirror is Daphne.

Both older sisters, both heirs to their kingdoms. Both kingdoms cursed, both wanted to save their little sister. Icy is what Daphne could have become if she was too late to save Bloom. Daphne is what Icy could have been if she succeeded in saving her sister n sacrificed herself in the process.

At first icy hates bloom for inexplicable reasons. Run of the mill reasons. But when she realises what bloom’s story is and relates it to herself, every time they face off, icy is faced with the fact that this could have been her sister. And when she sees daphne (in season 5 when they trap her to steal sirenix), that is her mirror. She is faced with the fact that that is what she could have been (at least similar) if she had succeeded. She could have seen her sister grow up. I think what’s the most heartbreaking part is when bloom wishes her sister’s corporeal form back.

Coz icy is clearly being thrown in jail/has to flee again, But bloom and daphne has their entire family back. Mom and dad and all. And i think resentment only builds from there WHICH i wld say is the motive for her to always go after the winx. Even after season 5.
