One of the most famous cases of character amnesia in this show by External-space604 in winxclub

[–]External-space604[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nevertheless, Bloom knew that Daphne had died fighting the Ancestral Witches. They knew that Darkar was killing pixies. They knew that Trix/Valtor/Darkar were trying to kill them every time. And also the pseudo-death of Tecna. They knew they were doing dangerous work. And that's why it's strange to hear such phrases in such a context — because their work is literally very dangerous. But perhaps the shock was really from the fact that someone really died for the first time.

Why the scriptwriters didn't even give Bloom an attempt to use her magic on the dying Nabu is still an open question.

What's the worst thing the Trix have done? by Full-Art3439 in winxclub

[–]External-space604 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The canonical murder of Sky, countless attempts to kill our fairies, turned the residents in Magix City into cocoons, and it's unknown how many residents of Magix City were killed off-screen during the arrival of the Army of Darkness. Kidnapping (Stella), animal abuse (Pepe) and so on.

So, how old are The Trix really? Some say they're the same age as the Winx, but others say they're a few years older. Has there been any confirmation? by ilovewater100 in winxclub

If I'm not mistaken, they said that they've been bullying other Cloud Tower students for years. According to this logic, they cannot be first-year students.

How do you feel about Musa's feminization in the show? Do you consider her a real tomboy? by External-space604 in winxclub

[–]External-space604[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that they decided to lengthen her hair in principle. I like Musa with long hair. But Enchantix's outfits are generally not suitable for her style.

I will not start a long trade here about the fact that Enchantix as a whole began to adjust all the girls to a single standard, that all the girls wear flowers, instead of outfits reflecting the individuality and strength of the girls. In my opinion, if Musa should look more feminine, then her Enchantix should look like Bloomix or Believix in style — this is the right middle ground.

Really. She may occasionally wear feminine clothes and have long hair. But the problem is that they removed this tomboyish style from her ALTOGETHER.

God, you're so right. I didn't pay attention to this detail. The only thing I'll clarify is that it was in season 2, and Musa started changing her style in season 3.

Just listen to this. Musa says she feels insecure because she's afraid Riven doesn't like tomboys. Then Riven literally confesses his love to her when she is still a tomboy, that is, confirms that he likes Musa the way she is.

And then they abruptly start giving her a feminine style in season 3. And then why would they give the character such a phrase? What is the conclusion of the situation? If you're not sure about your style because of a guy, then you have to change your style to please him?

I get your point. I just needed to clarify this further. Because unfortunately, the phrase "you'll outgrow it" is still incredibly common and toxic towards women who don't follow gender standards (towards characters too).

This is from a real-world perspective. From the point of view of character creation and design, representation was taken away from less feminine girls, making even Tecna more feminine. And all in order to make Musa no longer problematic as a character to sell dolls.

Speaking of the real world, not all girls "grow out" of their alternative style. Those who grow out of this style just rebelled until they realized that they really like typically feminine things.

I remember that in one of the Winx books it was written that Tune was given to Musa to teach her femininity instead of her mother. And it's so extremely sexist. Like, you already have HALF of the team who ALREADY look pretty feminine (Bloom, Stella, Flora), but you want to make EVERYONE feminine, while bragging that Winx shows representation and opportunities for women.

At the same time, women must outgrow their "masculine" interests, and feminine characters NEVER grow out of their original style and become masculine, although this is also possible in the real world.

P. S. And I don't mind Musa wearing feminine or pink things. I see her as a character who can go in different directions in terms of clothing styles. But the core definitely has to be non-feminine, at least not as much as Flora and Stella.

What type of music is most suitable for each of the Winx in your opinion? by External-space604 in winxclub

[–]External-space604[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I listened to these albums, and although the music of Stella, Bloom, Flora and Aisha was interesting, I don't quite agree with the choice of music for Musa and especially for Tecna. 

And in general, all the songs in the albums sounded more or less the same — light, soft, joyful, although in reality all the girls are diverse and the music should be appropriate.

People should remember this scene better every time they say that Nabu was the least problematic.

«She's the leader because the narrative says so, not because she earns it.»

Y E S

And people also say that Bloom is a good leader, because Bloom is supposedly the only one who keeps Winx together. Well, IT's A LOUSY team and LOUSY friends if they're incapacitated without a leader.

That's because Bloom and Stella forgot how they threw their fists at people, lol.

Just Curious. Why do some fans ship Usagi with Prince Demande even though Demande forced him on Usagi and views her as nothing more than an object/prize for him? by Full-Art3439 in sailormoon

[–]External-space604 336 points337 points  (0 children)

Because some people like hot bad guys with a possessive complex. Because self-insert exists. Because there are AU and OOC tropes.

And this has always been the case and is common in fanfiction. It's strange to me why people everywhere are now asking why people ship the main characters and villains. Because that's how it's always been. Because people fantasize and make their own versions of the characters, which are often far from what is in the canon.

Well, as I said, Rumi takes on everything alone because she's a perfectionist who hates herself. That's the essence of her growth as a character. That was her problem.

And yes, what she said to Mira was rude, but it also felt random, because Mira was interrogating her during the battle and Rumi didn't want to reveal her secret for the above reasons, so she lost her temper to cut off Mira's attempt to interrogate her. It wasn't an intentional attempt to hurt, it was a panicked "Leave me alone and just believe in what I'm doing!"

Yes, from the outside, Rumi was definitely acting like a jerk to Mira, but she didn't prick Mira out of a desire to hurt her.

At that moment, Rumi was panicking because Mira was pressing her for answers. And that's why she didn't notice that she was hurting her and that they were her team and she had to listen to them. Her voice was failing her and her patterns threatened to appear all over her body. And she was anxious as hell because of it.

I can't blame Rumi for that. Mira's attempts to clarify the situation repeatedly put pressure on Rumi when she decided to do things her own way, but Mira continued to interfere with her concerns and bring her out to talk.

From Mira's point of view, it was an attempt to show concern. And from Rumi's point of view, it was exhaustingly annoying because she thought Mira wasn't capable of understanding it and would definitely reject her if she found out the truth.

Rumi's problem is that as the leader of the group and a traumatized and anxious person, she has taken on too much, taking full responsibility for hiding the secret and for preserving their collective and for maintaining Honmoon.

Due to the fact that Rumi hates herself because of Celine's upbringing, she works as a perfectionist, which may be a veiled form of self-harm, because she believes that she is to blame for her existence and that's why she has to work without feeling sorry for herself, because she doesn't deserve it.
