i said it was my favorite piece of media that i’ve hyperfixated on since the tender age of 12 and have not let go of since. i didnt say it was a Good piece of media
“what do you like about it so much?” the fact that it cocooned me like a tender wool blanket during my vulnerable teenage years. next question
Glinda singing ‘Popular’ is so Stella-coded
I think the show in no way captured just how hard season 3 was on the Specialists. I mean, obviously they were barely treated as nothing more than love interests, but season 3 broke these boys.
Sky was spelled and manipulated to the point where he had no idea what reality was. Coming out of that must have been terrifying. Having no clue of what's real or who to trust, it must have taken him such a long time to start feeling like he had somehwat control over his life again. And knowing his parents didn't even recognise the state and pain he was in only makes it more painful.
Brandon was captured and treated as a traitor by the realm he spent his entire life fighting for. Growing up as a child soldier, he was taught that the only thing he was good for was being Sky's meat shield. But at the moment his best friend needs him the most, he gets thrown into a prison cell for wanting to help him.
Timmy's grief over losing Tecna gets a surprising amount of recognition in the show, I'll give them that. But I still think the show moved on too fast from the fact that everyone assumed Tecna to be dead. The sleepless nights trying to find her, his refusal to come to terms with what happened... Even after finding her, that shit stays with you.
Riven is the only one that caught somewhat of a break in season 3. Him and Musa are doing better and he's finally learning to let the people around him into his life. However, seeing Darcy once again trying to take over the world, hurting the people he loves, must rip open a wound that he's tried to stitch up about a million times. He'll forever feel guilty for his actions in season 1, and Darcy will forever be a reminder of that.
Helia who had no idea Flora nearly drowned
IM DEAD. I was thinking of Helia and Nabu but Helia's lack of screen time was just criminal and Nabu only showed up later. Forgot Helia's girlfriend almost drowned herself in order to save her sister and Helia was probably like 'sure she did' when he found out because when do these fairies not get themselves into trouble?

Which friendship deserves more screentime?
Helia and Riven
Aisha and Flora
Stella and Sky
Musa and Brandon
Tecna and anyone really
Drop your reasoning in the comments
one of my unpopular opinions is that tecna is not super into academics. she gets decent grades because she always does her homework and has a great photographic memory, but she doesn’t care too much about her grades. she also has no interest in competing with musa or flora who canonically have the highest marks in the class.
stella generally performs poorly in exams. however, every year, she unfailingly manages to excel in one particularly challenging test; and every year, everyone is gobsmacked—including herself.
“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it

The reasons why I think Stella and Bloom's friendship is amazing and is not something we often see
Or why Fate is trash
One aspect of Winx club I always loved growing up was the frienship between the girls. They all love each other, despite their very different personnalities and having some rough times.
While I could write an essay about almost every duo in Winx club, I do think that Stella and Bloom are the most interesting to analyse.
Even though they are part of a friend group, the show doesn't try to hide the fact that Stella and Bloom are each other best friend, they even say so themselves. This friendship is truly groundbreaking when we think about it, for one simple reason: Bloom and Stella's archetypes usually hates each other when depicted together in media.
Hear me out.
Stella is the girly girl, the mean girl, the popular girl with a big mouth who can appear shallow. Plus, she's blond. She bases a big portion of her self-worth in her apperance. Basically, she's the Regina George of Winx Club.
Bloom, she's not like the other girls. There's nothing wrong with her, she's attractive and a sweetheart, yet she attracts attention for being different (in the show there are a few reasons for this, first she's from Earth and she's also the keeper of the Dragon Flame, making her a god-like existence in the story). She has messy hair, dresses in jeans, doesn't really care about her apperance... She's a fish out of water type of character, the character everyone can and want to relate to. She's the Cady of Winx Club.
These two were designed to hate each other.
Taking into account Stella's nature, we expect her to hate Bloom based on sheer jealousy. Bloom doesn't try and gets all the attention, she's the new girl who turns out to be the one girl more powerful than her, she's also a princess. We could say that everything Stella can do, Bloom can do better.
And yet...
Stella would kill a bitch for Bloom. Never in the show does she displays any ill feelings toward Bloom, on the contrary, she spends her time trying to get her to be more confident in her and her abilities. She's sweet with her and does her best to uplift her. I can say with confidence that Stella is the one person in the show who loves Bloom the most (tied with Daphne), like Sky doesn't hold A CANDLE to her.
When Bloom leaves on missions by herself she's worried sick, she's always clinging to her, teasing her, looking out for her. She's always the one there for Bloom when things get hard (when the Trix steal her powers, when Sky gets engaged to Diaspro, when she thinks of her family...)
And Bloom, she just loves Stella. She's the reason her dream became reality (it was her meeting with her which caused her to learn her true nature), and Stella took her under her wing to make it easier for her to fit into this new world. She saw from the beggining that Stella was willing to lie for her, to fight for her and she couldn't help but love her, even if she had a big mouth and had a different personnality. Stella brought lightness and laughter into her world, she was her anchor.
For real, just look at her reaction when Stella throws herself from the cliff in season two. She spends the episodes after that obsessing over saving and finding Stella.
These two can't live without each other even though one is the 'your typical mean girl' and the other is 'not like the other girls'. Heck, everytime the vilains freaking spy on the Winx these two are all over each other.
I think the heart of their friendship is their first meeting. Stella was what Bloom had dreamed of all her life: she was a real fairy the living personnification of her dreams. She's the one who made her dream a reality. As for Stella, she was saved by a human who risked her life and stood up for her even though she didn't stand any chance and didn't know her. Bloom was just lucky she turned out to be a fairy. Bloom then took her to her house and took care of her, without expecting anything in return.
That was freaking transgressive for the time, and Fate's writers deserve jail for what they did to their friendship. Bloom and Stella fighting over a boy and Stella turning into the typical insecure and jealous mean girl? Hell no.
Look at these queens 🥹
one thing i always think about is how Brandon’s job was portrayed in the show
like, Brandon was selected to be the guard of the prince of Eraklyon. we all know he’s excellent at martial arts but damn, he is a royal guard
he was selected to protect the prince of the nation and you’re telling me we never got to see him in action, like, for real? we never got to see exactly to what lengths he would go to protect Sky and viceversa, what lengths Sky would go to protect Brandon?
this dude is protecting a prince, he must have insane skills if he’s considered qualified to do the job. i need to see how he trains, how he reports to the kingdom about missions, how he makes sure Sky is safe wherever he goes. he must be alert at all times, have crazy observation skills
i need to see him talk about what being a royal squire is like, come on, PLEASE
Day 1 - Stormy (Winx Club)
I headcannon Stormy as lesbian. Throughout the series she’s never shown any true interest in guys. Sure, there was Valtor in S3 but I’ve always interpreted that more as another way to compete with her sisters. Not to mention, in S2E15 she had an image of Musa drawn in lipstick on her mirror…There is no hetero explanation for that. She had a crush on Musa during S2 (and maybe one on Flora during S4 but that might be a stretch)
feel free to disagree, just my personal opinion :)
one of the things that warms my heart while rewatching season three is noticing how much stella enjoys being an enchantix fairy. it's not necessarily something she vocally expresses, but you can notice it in the way she gets so giddy to land a perfect bullseye. or how readily she's willing to try out her new powers. or how proud she looks of herself for cleverly using a reflection spell to free griffin
Winx Club is a show filled with chaos and plot holes
But man do I love it
Since there are already quite a few and really good Winx Club rewrites out there, I always figured that people wouldn't be interested in me writing another one. But since I've been on this app, I realise that I might have just another, different view or take on the whole series that others might find enjoyable as well. Would anyone be interested in that? I've got some scenes in my drafts already.
Also some rewrite suggestions for in the meantime:
@imhereformr - Winx: the first year & Winx: the second year
@fiendishwinx - fiend's winx club rewrite
tears-in-rain - brothers at arms series
If you have any other good ones, comment them :)
I just posted the first snippet of Chapter 1 of my Winx Club rewrite, please go check it out!
