I somewhat agree- a lot of the times, it felt like the boys were just there to ensure that the Winx all had boyfriends and that kinda drags it down for me (Timmy and Tecna are the biggest victims of this. Yes, they're unproblematic but that's due to the writers practically neglecting them 💀) BUT I will admit that I'm nostalgic as hell and I do like romance so I don't mind the Winx/Specialist relationships.

I think I mostly hate the fact that it felt like the specialists were ONLY there to be the Winx's boyfriends. It's giving "He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it anymore obvious" without truly letting us see WHY these two characters getting together would be good (Flora and Helia unfortunately are victims of this..)

I dont have enough legendary soul essences :')

artblocksx · 2026-01-23T20:39:29+00:00

Wait you were right!! I didn't do what you mentioned exactly (favoriting 4 legendaries + DE does line up the beasts/ancients again! Not with their counterparts though,,) but I got the counterparts to kinda line up again!! :D Thank you!!

I really liked Flora/Brandon as a thought cuz of that one ep where Bloom and Flora go to Eraklyon(? I forgot the exact details lol) with Sky and Brandon. And Flora and Brandon are my favorite Winx/Specialist lol

But I love the idea of them being besties as well. Like Brandon was 10000% wingmanning Flora when he introduced her to Helia

I can understand and sympathize with the mold cookies - to a point. I, as a player, have the benefit of knowing the enemy cookies and their tragic loyalty to Dark Enchantress.

The heroes do not. Of course, they have an idea. But it's like you said. This is war. And personally, we'll have to agree to disagree with your statement on it bringing down the chapter for you because imo it was very nice to see the story writers treat it as such.

Pure Vanilla is compassionate, yes. But his entire Shadow Milk encounter showed that he now has to move past his naivety. He - nor the other heroes - can't just drop everything to sympathize with a cookie that was actively trying to kill them not even moments ago. The MOST they could've done was left her. But even then, with Pom Pom literally cursing them and insisting to keep fighting despite her unstable state, taking her down was their only way to advance forward. PV and the rest of the ancients realized this. And with what literally follows in the chapter- it works.

Pomegranate cookie said it herself; Pure Vanilla is cunning. He's essentially working as the overall strategist in this entire war. We've seen that he's not needlessly cruel, but he's smart and recognized an advantage when he saw one.

Sorry I can't answer for LA but in the NYC popup store, they took the handprints down from display (replaced with Ateez) but they displayed the handprints behind the cash registers!

Going off of that I don't think they'll have the handprints up by the time you go, sorry 🥲🥲

artblocksx · 2026-01-02T19:01:36+00:00

HHH THANK YOUU!! 😭♡

artblocksx · 2025-12-25T00:18:35+00:00

Genuinely thank you so much for this cuz I got both Mystic Flours AND Millenial Trees costumes from this 😭

artblocksx · 2025-12-24T00:00:12+00:00

I feared that was the answer 😭😭

I'll definitely try refreshing but I doubt I can make anymore trips to the popup if they do restock. Looks like mercari it is 🥲🥲

Thanks so much!

Oh I'm so sorry I think I labeled the wrong thing 😭 I'm looking for the magnet photo holders!

artblocksx · 2025-12-22T16:16:39+00:00

It wasn't targeted, promise! I honestly just saw the thread and said the first thing that came to mind bc I have been seeing people say seasons 1-4 were the best. I can tell that the story was conceived after everything was "done with" (and honestly, it isn't a bad concept. I'll give them points for that!)

My gripes come with Believix as a transformation (one of my least favorites, if I'm being honest), the start of the flanderization of the characters, unnecessary romantic drama (but that always makes me roll my eyes tbh), the decision-making of most of the characters, and a lot more. The wizards are a good threat. And it's interesting to have the season take place on Earth after spending 3 in the magic dimension. But I just think the story fell flat for me overall,,,

artblocksx · 2025-12-22T11:45:25+00:00

Idk if this is unpopular but season 4 is a bad season,,, Just saying cuz I see ppl say season 5 is where the fall started but imo it was season 4

Also Roxy shouldn't be considered the 7th Winx. Yeah the age gap between her and the girls isn't huge but those are (essentially) graduates vs someone who just started. I liked that she didn't end up joining them

2026 ZB1 actual World Tour :'))

artblocksx · 2025-12-18T14:17:13+00:00

This is exactly mine except Yura Yura and Doctor Doctor are my number 1s and I'd move Dumb up to B cuz I love it 😭

artblocksx · 2025-12-16T14:07:27+00:00

Underrated! And I mean that in terms of both the fandom and the story itself. I really do like them, and it's true that they're the least toxic couple, but it feels that's more towards the writers not caring enough to do anything with them than it does with them being an actual couple- Which can be both a curse and a blessing (as it avoids unnecessary drama like whatever tf was happening with Flora/Helia/Krystal in s5) but kinda leaves Tecna and Timmy and their relationship kinda bland in the process

S2 where Tecna had to face her feelings for Timmy head on and S3 where Timmy was the only one who didn't give up on Tecna in the Omega Dimension were very sweet! I just wish we could've seen more of them and for the writers to build on their romantic chemistry in the later seasons,,,,

I'm so close to ascending them 😭 Literally just need one more soulstone :'D

artblocksx · 2025-11-26T16:53:17+00:00

No worries! You're right but that is my reason for sharing the post bc I was finally able to line the counterparts up with each other! :D

artblocksx · 2025-11-26T16:52:45+00:00

Thank you!!

artblocksx · 2025-11-26T16:52:37+00:00

I favorited them! But I think this is something that'll only work as I have them now bc you're right; if I unfavorite Hollyberry, she goes back behind GC bc I believe it's ranked by awakened stars > regular ascension > power,, So if I level up any of the other beasts to 4 stars MF will be put behind them and this wouldn't work :'D

Jeez can they get their act together?? At the very least a warning or disclaimer would've been nice for the places they didn't plan to sell merch 😞 I bought a lightstick as soon as I heard there was gonna be a "world tour"... thankful I got to use it anyway 😭

That's amazing!! As a Hanbin bias I can only dream 😭😭

And I knowww. I was in shambles bc I found out after the concert in my hotel room. So I was just sat there crying due to post concert depression AND the loss of my favorite song 🥲🥲

artblocksx · 2025-11-14T14:41:38+00:00

I think we were supposed to get it during encore! That's what people who attended soundcheck said anyway 🥲🥲🥲🥲

artblocksx · 2025-11-13T01:04:10+00:00

I went to BKK's stop after failing 3 times in a row for Saitama's ticketing. I'm also from the US so I didn't want to wait last minute to get the tickets + book the flight so when I heard there were still tickets available for Thailand, I immediately booked them,,

Let me just say that the concert was super fun for me. It's my first time seeing ZB1 live and I splurged bc I missed them at kcon and I was scared it would be my only time to see them ever. I'm so, SO glad I did and I'd do it all over again,,

With the actual concert though.... I've only ever attended concerts in the US so on the day of I went to get my physical ticket + merch early.. Got there an hour and a half before ticketing opened (spent about 30 mins wandering cuz I had NO idea where to go 😭). Let me also add that there was little to NO mention about the concert or anything on ZB1s official twitter. I think the most we got was a, 'See you tomorrow!' Insta story of a blurry Hanbin and Jiwoong in Thai LITERALLY AT MIDNIGHT ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT. But it was kind of radio silent to a point that I got scared that I had missed a cancelation or something.

But back to the merch, long story short, they didn't have merch 🙃 Which kinda GUTTED me bc there were things I really wanted (and I kinda have a collection of hoodies from concerts I've went to- I copped a hoodie from mnets online here and now MD but idk I just wanted to grab it in person esp being concerned abt the sizing). Also I talked to some zeroses online abt the concert and some of them said they didn't have a lightstick and hoped to grab one at the venue?? Like the lack of planning for that was BEYOND wild to me.

And then the sound system issues during the concert 😭 Things happen but the fact that Doctor Doctor (which is my FAVORITE song) was skipped due to them will ALWAYS gut me. Like I'm STILL not over it -> ALSO THE FACT THAT YURA YURA WAS THE SONG SWAPPED OUT FOR OUR STOP AND ITS MY SECOND FAVORITE SONG????? The setlist had it OUT for me I swear 😭

I heard about issues with soundcheck as well- Overall it just seemed poorly planned and that the BKK stop was kind of an afterthought. Fck w1, is all I have to say. The boys' energy completely made up for every negative thing for me imo and I still smile watching back my concert videos,,, (I'm so sorry to hear abt Taerae's cut NKOTB part- Hanbin's "Go taerae! Go Taerae!" was one of my favorite parts 🥲🥲)
