I had a hard time figuring out what she look should be but then i realized the best outfits are the ones that are the simplest. My main inspiration is her live action and reboot outfits with some Mediterranean and african fashions since she and her family has Greek and Arabic names. Her fins resemble the ones on the mermaids since shes part merfolk in this au. You can't see it but the front part of her hair has reddish highlights.
For her magic winx her top his a half sheer toga like top with a jellyfish skirt (she has shorts underneath), arm bands and gladiator sandals with no heel. Her color is back to being green but with a sligtly blue undertone, and LOADS of pearls.
In my rewrite of s5 the winx club goes to tressa's coronation when they're attacked by a mysterious assassin. They end up separated from Tritannus (who at this point isn't a bad guy yet) and take the mersiblings on earth for protection. A lot of s5 is spent with nereus and tressa getting used to human culture as well as a growing friendship between roxy and tressa.
Since theyre in disguise I made their hair colors a lot less vibrant. I gave tressa a fairly simple outfit that highlights her athleticism, with black compression clothes to balance our the blue. I forgot to draw hibiscus patterns on her top since she's also soemthing of a coconut girl.
Nereus goes full boho here, no boring sweatshirt in sight! I want his style to be a lot different from the specialists; he spent a lot of time underwater so he might not be comfortable wearing tight clothing. I gave him a long green tunic and blue pants with white trim and ripple patterns. To keep his palette from looking boring i added orange and sand, and spme patterns on his tunic. He has a bit of african influence with his hairstyle, the large beaded jewelry and his new skin tone. Yeah I made him black since we dont have a lot of black princes in western animation and honestly, it's payback for all the whitewashing the franchise does. So nereus and tressa are black now! :]
I made the outfit from and used two accessories from the Alwayz line: Yasmin's boots and Sasha's purse.
Also I went to target and saw yasmin on sale for $15 so I got her. I love the shade of purple. Now that i think about it she kinda reminds me of Darcy!
Im trying to figure out my selfship lore with nereus and i think i have it figured out
I'm not a fan of season 5. Its completely dumbed down from the first 4 seasons (no thanks to having Nick jr writers on board), the fashions were lackluster, the villains were juvenile, and overall a downgrading experience. I also hate how the mermaids went from being a society ruled by women to being ruled over by a man and no, tritons and mermaids being separate "species" doesn't erase the fact that Tressa got overshadowed by her brother! So in my canon, all three siblings have coronations on the same day, Nereus and Tritannus ruling their share of the ocean while Tressa is the Head Honcho (as in she has the final word on really big matters). The winx are invited to the ceremony and bring Roxy as their plus one to help her get accustomed to magical affairs. They're there when the party is attacked by fish monsters, and while they put up a fight, they are forced to retreat after Ligea and Neptune are corrupted, bringing nereus and tressa along with them to Earth. At this point they don't know that Tritannus is the culprit and assumed he is in hiding with his court.
Meanwhile, I've just recently moved to Gardenia and got a job working at Klaus' bar. She does know about the winx and Roxy being magical but not Tressa and Nereus being mermaids. To show his gratitude, Nereus offers to help out around the bar and meets my sona. She finds him a little odd. So while the winx are in magix trying to sort things out I'm over here teaching an alien prince how to use a telephone.
This gif has nothing to do with anything I just like seeing Sky get hurt 😂 ha ha BLAST HIM AGAIN ICY!!
Anyway, Nereus is glad to meet someone who isn't giving him special treatment for once, and I'm just happy to have an attractive guy who isn't a douche.
But, this being a rewrite things aren't always a walk in the park.
One day, Mysterious sludge seeping seep onto Gardenia's beaches, hurting the wildlife and affecting water quality. At the same time, a corporate entity arrives in town. We dont know it yet but it's owned by Politea. She secretly disgused herself as a human after selling Daphne out to the Ancestral witches, ans had been using magic to hide her disfigurement until she learned there was a high concentration of magic in Gardenia. There's no Trix involved. Tritannus is infatuated by her but it's obvious thay she sonly using him for personal gain. A stark contrast to the genuine relationship nereus and I have.
One night during closing time, we're attacked by mutants. I hide in the storage closet but Nereus is taken away.
I follow the kidnappers to a secret area near town, and thats when i see Tritannus for the first time. I see Nereus try to reason with him only to get brainwashed into flooding Gardenia. I try to go back to town to warn evrryine but fond myself blocked by ol' fishhead and im about to get eaten when the winx arrives just in time with the sword of neptune. Nereus comes to his senses and stops the flooding but it leaves a lot of damage including the bar.
Realizing how horrible his brother has become Nereus decides to fight back, going fsr as to teach Tressa andnthe winx sirenix as he and Daphne were the last known Users.
A fairy form? For a man in the winx universe?
I go along for the ride and get a mermaid form, i also unlock harmonix but its not very useful :P
Over time, everyone starts to see sparks forming between us, culminating in a date night that the girls (well Stella) planned for us. At first we're uncomfortable and suffer some inconveniences, we realize we enjoy each others company. I also help him get better fashion suited for his tastes, and I adopt mermaid inspired fashion.
By the final episodes we go back to Andros with some of the earth fairies. A massive brawl ensues between us and the mutants, in the middle of the conflict I'm knocked out and taken hostage by Tritannus
Just pretend that's me being kidnapped.
Bloom is too busy fighting, so Aisha tressa and Nereus run after him. Tritannus presents his capture to his boss, thinking he'll be rewarded but instead he has his trident taken from him and is almost killed along with Tressa, but nereus takes the blow for them losing his life in the process. Even though Tritannus is a monster that's still his brother and he refuses to let him die. That way, his sacrifce and revival feels earned. Ultimately, it's Aisha who defeats her cousin (I'm still salty about Bloom stealing that honor).
Once Tritannus is subdued I swim over to Nereus's body and start crying.
Not wanting to see us go through the same pain she went through losing Nabu, Aisha uses her wish to revive her cousins, but Tritannus is left disfigured by the amount of radiation he was exposed to. Realizing he had been played, Tritannus reluctantly surrenders and is taken to Lake Roccaluce for healing. Neptune for his part reflects on his own role in how his oldest child turned out and decides to hold off on the coronation so Nereus can explore himself, leaving Tressa as the sole ruler of the merfolk.
Afterwards the winx decides to throw a charity ball to donate to help cleaning up the flood damage. My sona and Nereus becomes official. He feels sorry about his brother but I tell him everything's going to be okay since he still has other family and me by his side.
Season 6 continues with Nereus and i still working at klaus bar and helping to repair Gardenia - he feels totally guilty even though he was brainwashed - Politea comes to town and runs for mayor, quickly gaining favor with the townsfolk but nereus and i are suspicious. We find out that shes the reason behind Tritannus corruption and Daphne's death. After defeating her we get engaged and by the time season 8 ends we're married. Between the main seasons we have our own side adventures cleaning up beaches whereever we go, interacting with the merfolk of andros, even fight the occasional bad guy. Nereus also teaches roxy royal life like joining the council of sovereigns and improving her ability to speak to AND turn into marine animals. I go back to college but end up running the bar after klaus sells it to me so he can retire and spend time with Morgana.
My take on bliss based on the sketch i drew a few days ago. Her og hair color is an eyesore so i went for a darker blue (or brown depending on the day) and kept the stripe. Her headband matched her dress now but i kept the heart so she wouldn't look too monotone. Also her skin was ASHY so i gave her some lotion.
Got a more updated version of Bunny and Bliss for Reset AU compared to the old one. Like the Powerpuff Girls I had given them finalized designs and extra accessories as well. Anyways, hope you guys like it!

Theres nothing i enjoy more than turning bad characters into BADDIES!! For Bliss I decided to use silver to contrast Princess wearing gold, and the other colors were already taken. Her original always hair reminded me of the moon so I leaned into the motif by added one of those circle belts and jewelry. Her dress is a mix of vintage glamour and y3k with a mesh stomach, slits, and holographic wings connected to her arms with bracelets. I still wanted to include some of her original design so i gave her a split dye and chrome heart accessories. Completing the look are teardrop earrings.
The doll i want to use is the AA candy sweets but she's $70 on amazon so I'm scoping out ebay to see if she's available for cheap prices. If not then I can go with Lady Diva or another doll, as long as they have a brown skin tone.
Now that I have all three OMG POWERPUFF dolls I plan on restyling them, once again using pieces I already have. For Blossom I'm mixing preppy and tomboy with more black and white to balance out the red. I see Bubbles as the type to get really into maximalism when she grows up, so lots of patterns and stacking. Buttercup would probably be into DIY, making her outfits by hand with punk/Y3k influences.
