Blicy, Darcella & Stormusa || Actors AU pt3
Hi hello, Lilith here with another round of my Actors AU shenanigans! No pictures this time (okay, there are actually two, y’all got lucky ;D), just text and ✨️ vibes ✨️. Today’s edition has: Trix backstory and family feels, angst, fluff, some sillies, and pining. Useless pining.
Alright, let’s get down to business!

🎬 Action 🎬
The Trix were abandoned by their mothers (Belladonna, Liliss and Tharma) before the age of 5 at different times and locations.
Icy was a street urchin the longest, then Stormy, then Darcy.
They eventually found each other in Dyamond (capital of the Ice Kingdom, which is their homeworld in the comics as per Issue 27: Darko the Black) and stayed together thereafter. To call them “thick as thieves” would be an understatement.
Griffin found them huddled up in a dingy alley, tiny and scared and malnourished, during the filming of her most successful movie and took them in without a second thought. After that, she took a long break from acting to care for and raise them.
Icy was quite ill when Griffin found them, but she still stood between her and her sisters to protect them from any potential harm like the self-designated eldest sister™️ she’s always been.
Stormy was the first one to call Griffin “mum” and stuff of the like, then Darcy, then Icy.
Stormy was just happy to have a mother who actually loved her and wanted her around for a change. Icy and Darcy, on the other hand, were very wary and sceptical of her for a good while.
Their sisterhood almost hit rock bottom months after Icy started dating Tritannus at age 15.
Icy hit rock bottom after breaking up with him a few weeks prior to a pre-Olympics national figure skating competition that coincided with her 17th birthday.
Her birthday is actually the Trix’s adoption day: May 5th. It’s the same for the three of them. They don’t know when their actual birthdays are.
Consequently, they don’t know their exact ages either.
Griffin just made an educated (and correct) guess based on their heights (Icy > Darcy > Stormy), features (Icy’s are the sharpest, Stormy’s are the softest, and Darcy’s are the perfect in-between), and general attitude (Icy is independent, Darcy goes along with whatever her sisters suggest, and Stormy is loud and energetic and a bit clingy at times).
Stormy, during a S1 Winx Club Q&A: stop calling me “the baby of the Trix”! For all we know, I could be the eldest! 😤
Icy and Darcy laugh their asses off so hard they almost fall off their chairs. It’s their witchiest cackle yet both in and out of character, and it becomes a popular reaction meme in the fandom practically overnight.
They also coo at her and pinch her cheeks like the annoying older sisters™️ they are until poor Stormy is bright red. They keep on giggling shamelessly for the rest of the Q&A whenever they look at Stormy and then at each other.
Bloom falls first, Icy falls harder.
That said, even though Bloom falls first, Icy finds her sweet from the get-go, which leads to improv lines like “sweet little fairy” and whatnot.
Icy doesn’t want to catch feelings for anyone after the shitshow with Tritannus in the first place, but Bloom brings her heart to its knees without even trying. So much so that she even faces one of her biggest traumas for and with her.
Darcy falls first, Stella falls harder. *
(* Except, not really because Stella liked Darcy since before their Winx Club days, she just mistook it for annoyance because she saw Darcy as a fashion rival.)
Two of Darcy’s favourite literary tropes are grumpy x sunshine and rivals to lovers, so it checks out.
They both have their “Oh. Oh.” moment while filming episode 5 since they have to be together a lot for Stella to study and copy Darcy’s mannerisms for the identity impersonation scenes.
They definitely give Blicy a run for their money in the useless gayasses department sometimes. Keyword being sometimes.
Musa falls first, Stormy falls harder.
Musa admired Stormy since before their Winx Club days because of her dancing skills and electric personality. She even composed a few songs with Stormy’s dancing in mind.
Meeting someone (other than her sisters) who matched her energy and rhythm has Stormy catching feelings as is. When Musa sends her the songs + playlists she made with her in mind, she is absolutely gone. Head over heels.
Buuut Musa accidentally slapping Icy for real during the filming of episode 9 puts her on Stormy’s shit list for a few days. She is inexperienced and got carried away, so...
Naturally, Musa’s apology and concern post-slap are genuine.
Icy finds it funny, though. She doesn’t even flinch and stays in character throughout the whole thing, and the scene was kept in its entirety. She takes a picture with a very guilty Musa afterwards and posts it once the episode aired with the caption “Guess who got Mused! Spoiler: ow.”
Bloom has a massive gay panic when she has to pick up and carry Icy to Alfea at the end of S1.
The reason why Icy is looking away from the camera during that scene is because Bloom blurted out “oh wow, you’re fit. I- wow.” at one point and she couldn’t stop giggling.
The Trix are gigglers, in case it’s not obvious. Happy-go-lucky girls, especially around each other (and Icy with Bloom).
“Electric Bootykick” can be found in the bloopers of episode 18 because Icy and Darcy were like “We’ll give you 20 euros if you say it” and Stormy went “bet”.
There is this one time at a Meet & Greet that someone in the crowd yells “ICY, PLEASE HOLD MY FACE LIKE YOU DID TO BLOOM” and Icy laughs the awkwardness off before reaching over and doing that to Bloom while saying, “Sorry, whoever you are, but that treatment is reserved for my favourite fairy only. Isn’t that right, princess?”
Bloom who? That is a tomato she is holding right there.
And now... The two pictures that were promised... 🥁🥁🥁
Bloom being a useless baby bi for the nth time:
