HI!! Just wanted to drop by and say I love your art so much, your style and content always makes me smile (especially your Batfam fantasy au). Have a wonderful day :)

HHH THANK YOU I MISS MY FANTASY AU SO MUUUUCCHHH….. honestly seeing BOP and getting fired up about what I feel like they should have done is making me think about Babs and DC again

[alternativewinxcontinuity]

How do you think being a guardian fairy works. Do you get to choose it like any other career? and how do you think it works with princesses (like the winx) or leaders of realms/planets. Love your work!

Hopefully this answers your question and is coherent. ^.^'

Guardian is both a Fairy Level, and a Career Title.

However, while all Titled Guardian Fairies have achieved the Guardian Level, not all fairies who've achieved the Guardian Level, have the Title.

Unlike any other Transformation, the Guardian Level comes with no outward indication of achievement, no new outfit, no new wings; but there is no visible change when a fairy becomes a Guardian, their Magical Perception and Magical Empathy increases dramatically, infusing their magical essence in a unique manner which can be detected by other Guardian Fairies, or by observant magicals.

It is achieved only after extensive training and experience, and so it is rare, but not unheard of, for younger fairies to achieve it.

Much like Enchantix is earned by a moment of understanding what a fairy is willing to sacrifice of themselves for others, Guardianship is earned when a high level fairy undergoes a moment of self-realisation. (“Yes, this is what I'm meant to do, to protect on this grand of a scale, not just the people I love, but all the people and the world(s).”)

Guardianship cannot be lucked into, it takes more than the introspection that earns the Charmix or Enchantix forms, it is a deliberate choice of life long dedication and commitment.

-

Titled Guardians are typically given the Title by the government/ruling body of their Home World, after receiving nomination by a known Guardian, as most Guardians accept Guardianship of their places of origin. While Titles of Guardianship are acknowledged Dimension over, the exact political power that comes with them changes from planet to planet, with some planets occasionally refusing to acknowledge the authority of a visiting Guardian Fairy if their planets are at odds with each other at the time.

(The exception to this are fairies who are Titled by Alfea, as only students who achieve Guardianship before graduation are Titled by the school, and are therefore considered to be 'neutral' parties. (and unbelievably powerful.))

In addition to protecting the worlds they serve from invasion or attack, Guardian Fairies, Titled or not, are partially responsible for the Magical Stability of their world, which is why there exist a distinction between A Guardian Fairy of a world, and The Guardian Fairy of a world.

(Every world can have several Guardians active at any one time, the exact number depends on the world, and whether or not replacements are available when current Guardians are ready to retire and go from 'active duties' to a more advisory role.)

The (new) Guardian Fairy of a world is chosen when they are young, and long before The (current) Guardian Fairy is ready to retire, this is to ensure that the potential replacement wants to become The (new) Guardian Fairy, and another can be found if they don't.

Unlike other Guardian Fairies, The Guardian Fairy is specifically selected by their power type.

Each world has its own type of magic, its Thematic Magic, like Solaria is the world of Light and the Sun, and Zenith is the world of Technology, The Guardian Fairy will always possess a power that matches or exemplifies the power of their world, like Stella and Tecna.

It is not unusual for a member of the royal family of a world to become The Guardian Fairy, but it is not a certainty. Power Themes tend to be genetic, family lines passing on the same type of thematic power, whether the exact same power, or variations of the same – Stella's (paternal) family line has always produced sun fairies (or on rare occasions, fairies of bright celestial bodies), Bloom's family is filled with fire fairies, (wild fire, hearth fire, fire light) – and the reason many royal families have powers which so closely match the powers of the world, is because the royal lines (Or at least those which are hereditary) were mostly started by what were essentially the first Guardian Fairies.

Guardians who don't receive Titles either become essentially understudies, or second string for Titled Guardians, or find themselves travelling the Magical Dimension, often acting in capacity as bounty hunters tracking down escaped criminals, or monsters that crop up, answering calls for additional aid when a world's Guardians would like a bit of extra help.

UnTitled Guardians who don't remain with their world, often accept the entire Magical Dimension as the area of their Guardianship. (In their later years, these Guardians may settle down on worlds under the understanding that “the whole Dimension is still under my protection, by I am currently in charge of looking after this little corner of it.”)

(Alfean Guardians, those who are Titled by Alfea, act in a similar capacity if they don't have a chosen world, but are also (as acknowledged Guardians) called upon to act as impartial parties during negotiations, and will occasionally put of graduating for several months in order to complete a course on Inter-Galactic Diplomacy.)

All Guardians possess at least their Enchantix, and while it is not an actual requirement for achieving Guardianship, it is an important step to the power level and self-awareness that enables a fairy to reach it.

-

(While no records exist to modern day, there are several stories of a handful of witches who were said to have achieved Guardian status, whether it is true or not is open to academic debate, with most academics, historians and magi-anthropologists denying the claims under the reasoning that “witches on the whole lack the mindset to choose such a selfless act of life long dedication.”Many witches would like to hex said academics on the grounds “their degrees, doctorates and other such fancies don't teach them $h*t.”)

-

TLDR:Guardian Fairy is both a fairy level, and a job. It is earned by choice and requires pre-existing high power levels, and dedication to protecting people and planets.Head Guardian in Charge of a planet is often a member of the royal family, and it's just another facet of they run the world to ensure the safety and well being of their people.

Some Guardians look out for the entire Magical Dimension, whether by acting as interstellar bad-asses, or unbiased third party diplomats.

1. Aterix is my fan transformation based on the third gift of destiny in season 4! like it never made sense to me that the gift of wisdom gives you sophix, the gift of heart gives you lovix, but the “black gift” is used more like a magic object on someone else as opposed to increasing a persons magic in a specific way??? I’ll be designing and explaining more about those soon @mariloki4 2. The faunix designs are here, and i haven’t done their animals designs yet! 3. So in my version, guardian fairy is more of a title given to alfea enchantix graduates, they don’t really have any responsibilities to their planet or anything lol  @elf-from-the-ashes 4. hoo boy, like just from scratch visually with the plot the same??? probably not too different from what i draw now since i like to have the characters all look different, but again, if i have no starting point to jump off from i have no idea what decisions i would end up making haha 5. Thank you! and yes! I am planning on getting to world of winx and the season extras soon here. 6. lol right?? every transformation i try to do seomthign different with tecna’s hair cus she deserves it but sometimes its hard (also i am ALWAYS tempted to just cut the other girls’ hair like YOU get a pixie cut and YOU get a pixie cut EVERYBODY’S getting a pixie cut)  @theoretical-artist 7.  I drew daphne and diaspro here! i am gonna take another stab at diaspro soon tho, i don’t like what i did before 8. I don’t know that i have one? like whatever one im currently watching i get used to the voices eventually. Musa’s voice change in season 3 (idk which dub) is the only one that consistently bothers me 9. Sure! the hair color change is because i was trying to make her look less like a terrible clip art witch on crappy halloween decor lol. here are some other hcs! She likes to knit. She has sensitive skin and breaks out easily. She regrets what happened with Valtor, like she knows he needed to be stopped but wishes she could have saved him(this is primarily why she cuts the trix so much slack before expelling them) She’s a mix of a lot of different ethnicities(solarian, melodian, and zenithian are the strongest) and was born on Magix. 

10. Domino: Scotland/Ireland/tiny bit of China Solaria: Egypt/Greece/Italy Lynphea: Spain/Mexico/India/Persia Andros: Hawaii/Indonesia/Philipines/Afghanistan/ and weirdly a little bit of Canada towards the poles. Melody: Japan/China/tiny bit of Korea Zenith: Russia/Mongolia Eraklyon: England/France/Germany/Colombia Vaonaa: Australia/the USA if the pilgrims never happened Zhen: Mongolia/Korea Koyu: Turkey? this planet is a little fuzzy culture wise and the environment isn’t anything we have on earth.

11.  Domino: 2 Solaria: it varies. Lynphea: 1 Andros: 2 Melody: 3 Zenith: 4 Eraklyon: 2 Vaonaa: 2 Zhen: 1 Koyu: 3

12. these are gonna be a little sarcastic because of who i am as a person im sorry @beevolution Domino: Hi we’re not dead and we have some really great mountain resorts please help us rebuild our economy Solaria: Sunshine all the time! The latest fashions! Don’t get lost in the desert because you will never be found! Lynphea: If you want a relaxing cottage retreat in a meadow come here, if you want a DEATH DEFYING TOUR THROUGH THE MOST WILD TERRITORY OF THE MAGIX DIMENSION also come here. Andros: You like the ocean? you’ll like it here. You don’t like the ocean? fuck off. Melody: CONCERTS! LIVE SHOWS! LIVE TAPINGS! PERFORMING ARTS!!!!!!!!!  Zenith: Technological wonderland, probably have theme parks about technology. nerds.  Eraklyon: Wanna buy jewelry and not talk to people? this is the planet for you. Vaonaa: Wanna buy fabric and talk to a lot of people? this planet is for you. Zhen: *Communication and transport to ZHEN is currently unavailable. Please hang up and try again.* Koyu: bitch why tf would you come here our atmosphere is posion. I guess we have pretty lights and stones???

13. oh gosh i don’t know..... Im really bad at celebrities. I love gillian anderson’s voice, but she would probably voice one of the adults not one of the girls. I like zendaya, lana condor, aubrey plaza, and steaphanie beatriz too. but like. They’re all 22 and over. Ideally the actresses (voice or otherwise) would be 16-20 age wise.  14. @powerpuffninja934​ the wings can move a little! as long as the fairy isn’t trying to fly with the chronix wings they can move slowly. 15. Thank you! and that would be really fun! 16. I mean the short answer is yeah, they would. Fairy transformations are basically cheat codes. fairy magic is “earned” through little effort or practice on the part of the fairy its like a grenade, its powerful and wide range, but can cause unintentional damage. Anybody can throw a grenade, and there are different type of grenades for different purposed(flash, smoke, incendiary) but all of them can hurt innocent bystanders if not used correctly. Witch magic, and most of the masculine magic systems, is like a sniper rifle, it can take years and a lot of practice to gain a mastery of the tool, but has less risk of unintentional damage. if fairies had worse PR and weren’t thought of as “good” (compared to the witches PR being aligned with the ancestrals and “bad”) fairy transformations probably wouldn’t be allowed on the grounds that its unsafe and unnatural. @lowko​  17. So magic is like a type of radiation/energy. Core Magic is like the electrical impulses that run the human body, its normal, safe, and part of the body. Natural Magic is like sunshine, its normal, safe(in low doses), and necessary. Ethereal magic is like a nuclear bomb. Its insanely powerful, targeted, and created/manipulated by the ethereal fairies usually for a specific purpose. Wild magic is like a cross between a freshwater spring and a natural radiation/electricity source(lightning?) its normal and part of the environment, but its dangerous and unpredictable. it also only effects a small area around it.  Wild and natural magics work in tandem in the same areas. Natural sources are stable enough to link magic to(the resulting transformation is called danix), but wild magic is not. Natural sources can become/ be replaced by wild magic when the natural source is polluted, cursed, or threatened by a natural disaster. Its theorized that wild and natural magics have a limited level of consciousness, and when a natural source retreats, the wild magic takes over the sources mouth in an attempt to let the environment heal and ward off any threats. Wild magic sources can stabilize and be replaced by natural sources, but its less common. Bloom and Stella are linked to the dragon flame, and the second sun of solaria, which is where their titles come from, but the other girls aren’t linked to anything in specific and their titles are mostly personal preference. Hopefully this makes sense??? I’ll probably do a masterpost on how my magic system works here soon. 18. Yeah so i never really had a problem with the age gap because most of my friends growing up were 2-3 years younger/older than me. Also in my version Alfea is a legit college, so the average freshman age is like... 18/19? but you could technically attend whenever. 19. I love magix winx, harmonix, and bloomix! for least favorite.... butterflix................ and mythix........................... and sirenix.......(tho i do love the sirenix transformation sequence)
