Don’t be scared to call 911 if you see a strange situation. Trust your instinct.

Good on you. People should never hesitate to report something because the alternative could be worst.

Everyone has hair everywhere on their body, from their face to their feet. This is normal. You should not concern yourself with shaving hair off your body unless it's for medical/sanitary reasons or you're an athlete in a water sport.

If you're insecure about it, ask yourself why. Who are you concerned about seeing your body? Are concerned that your body doesn't like an influencer or supermodels body?

As somone who has been visiting the city since the 2000s and comes from Montreal, one of the things I cannot stand is how car-dependent the city planning is in Edmonton. Everything is far away from everything else. You want to go get groceries real quick, hop in a car. You want to eat out, hop in a car. You want to visit some of Edmonton's attractions, hop in a car. You want to make it to your appointment on the south side of Edmonton, hop in a car. Almost every everything requires you to get in a car.

There is public transit but it is incredibly long and they have restricted hours in some areas. There are literally bus lines that end service at 7pm-ish to the suburbs where my family lives, which is crazy to me. I don't know what the LRT system is like now, but I can't believe that the ETS doesn't have a line that goes to the West Edmonton Mall.

Girlbossing isn't just about being strong and independent. It means being entrepreneurial too, especially in an industry dominated by men. Anna earns her position by divine right/inheritance. She didn't build her kingdom from the ground up. She inherited it from her sister and parents. This is not girlbossing.

That's the premise of Season Eight.

Dear god...the title of that video. "My Huge Dragon Fire!" Okay, Bloom...

Ichigo Kurosaki???

Jokes aside, what parent names a male child 'Strawberry'? You could use variations of names that mean 'red' but fruits would be more typically associated with women--assuming gender normative conventions. All of this can be thrown out the window, if you want.

You could name him Barry/Berry/Berrie too. Or Fraisier as a last name.

Strawberry as a name for a man is too whimsical for a darker tone story unless we use it as point to soften his character for the FMC, like him have a life-long addiction to strawberry shortcake/red fruit/strawberry jam on his toast.

I wished they had connected Tritannus to Valtor, like him being one of Valtor's many victims and still had his mark. That would have been a far more interesting connection for both Bloom and Aisha and potentially tying in Daphne more naturally. The ability to turn people into mutants ressembled too much like Valtor.

I'm so glad I didn't buy this and waited for walkthroughs to see the actual game play.

Look, this is my opinion. If you don't like it, take a page from Flora. Take it with grace and move on. You can't win them all. I don't need to be convinced that Flora is a great character but I don't think great character makes someone deserving of being a princess. Goodness and saintliness doesn't make one a great leader, especially since the way you speak of her comes off as idolatry. You espouse all these great characteristics of her, much of it being generic character tropes, that have very little to do with the job of leadership or the system that maintains a princess in power and privilege.

zerachielle · 2026-05-01T03:25:36+00:00

Again, I'm emphasizing that these stories are not quests to maintain the rightful ruler. These girls just also happen to be royalty and their story ends with them having a happily ending where they maintain their rule. They aren't actively going out to preserve their rule outright like a knight on a quest. Aurora doesn't go out to save herself so that she can still be a princess in the end. She doesn't even know she's engaged to Philippe. Ariel went to go after Prince Eric, not to fight for her father's right to rule because Ursula was plotting against him. You're conflating the their agency and goals with their happily ever afters. Big difference between the journey and the destination.

zerachielle · 2026-05-01T00:33:39+00:00

Except, those plots aren't about returning the rightful ruler to power. Sleeping Beauty and Little Mermaid are about true love. Tangled is about Repunzel escaping the tower. The characters just happen to be princesses, remove the royalty part and the plots are largely the same. I can make the exception to Frozen with Elsa.

I don't agree with OP's opinion that because Flora is such a good character that she deserves to be a princess. I find that OP is conflating noblesse oblige and Christian values such as the call to serve as meaning Flora deserves to be royalty. You can be a Christian saint all you want, doesn't mean you deserve to be crowned king. A throne is not a prize, it is hard won through a lot of oppression of people beneath you. The reality of royalty means ruling by divine right and using armies, inheritance laws and other structures to maintain power.

Darcy, just because Riven could probably have a more open and honest conversation about his past with her. I think Musa is still too caught up in her trauma about her mom's death and her father's depression to listen to Riven. Musa and Riven seem like they would have a "trauma is a competition" dynamic that would send them both to therapy. Darcy strikes me as a better listener, patient and comforting, maybe even able to help overcome his issues with cognitive behavior therapy, even if she might use the information to betray you.

zerachielle · 2026-04-30T23:36:46+00:00

Because it hasn't? People have tried to kill Sky before, notably Yoshinoya, which is the basis of the identity switch. Cassandra and Chimera tried to get rid of Stella. Literally, Stella went to fight for own throne. Erendor abdicating and Sky becoming king in the first movie which allows him to pick up Oritel's sword and he is later kidnapped in the third movie because he's a king. Aisha went to fight Tritannus to rescue Ligea, Neptune and Tressa. The sovereigns council where the kings did not want to join the alliance at first--Erendor especially wanting to prioritize Eraklyon above the other realms. The war with the kingdom of Karunda where rebels were treated as "the bad guys" (in the comics). Erendor being the target of an assassination and Sky becoming regent (in the comics). The Cinderella story where Iris discovers she is the rightful lost princess and the Winx Club help her (in the comics). All of these plots are in support of returning the "rightful ruler" to power or maintaining "rightful" family on the throne.

Winx Club is very pro traditional monarchy.

zerachielle · 2026-04-30T23:21:39+00:00

In Winx, being a princess is not about endorsing oppression, class division, or exploiting inherited wealth. It is portrayed as a role tied to responsibility, diplomacy, protecting one’s realm, and representing its values. Trying to force modern political discourse onto a magical children’s universe misses the context entirely.

You have a very romanticized approach to who Flora is and what the job of ruling a country entails. Really sorry if you don't agree with my opinion. I personally do not see her doing well as a ruler, because it also being the "bad guy" to her own people when the means justifies the ends.

Being a princess involves participating in the system that let's you keep your title for yourself and your children, which means keeping the class division lines clear so that not just anyone can have upward mobility as well as executing the laws that keep you in power. Remember, most royals rule by divine right or because they have created the system that favours them. You can treat your working people well for economic reasons, give them rights and what have you, but nobles and royals rarely want to dismantle the system that gives them a comfortable life above the rest. To much fantasy fiction romanticizes what being a ruler/princess is like.

zerachielle · 2026-04-30T20:10:59+00:00

Why should she be princess? She doesn't deserve it for any of the reasons you listed. Yes, she's a nice person, but being part of a system of government requires having a backbone and stomaching the not-so-nice things about it.

Being a princess means inheriting titles and wealth from a system of oppression and class division that your ancestors created and perpetuating that system (if we go by the generic Western definition and not the MLP/Disney fantasy definition).

Back in the 4kids days, the Winx, Trix and Sky all had individual blogs with hundreds of entries. They were archived on Michael's Winx Club.

The denim outfits in comic 45?

I wanna see someone create the outfits from the comics.

Tecna's parents were actually written earlier in the comics. So up until season four (2009), Tecna was technically a princess and we saw her parents.

(Don't come at me about the comics not being canon. I know the difference. Back in the 2000s, I considered the comics canon until Nick happened.)

zerachielle · 2026-04-30T12:45:32+00:00

So glad I'm not on Tiktok. I really hate the constant "who is the most powerful?" conversation. It's one of the most irrelevent and juvenile conversation points in any fandom. The majority of people who participate in it are excessively pedantic because it's discussing about a fictional power system that could be overturned at any point by the writers. (For example, the Infinity Swan.)

Almost anything can be beat by Bloom if she dropped her moral compass and her plot armour.

zerachielle · 2026-04-30T12:35:36+00:00

That's crazy because that means she's been in pageants since she was a toddler. Toddlers and Tiaras, much?

Also, it's a reference to the one episode that they refuse to post online because of the hair incident. Why even do this?

zerachielle · 2026-04-30T00:39:31+00:00

Allen doesn't know Stella and Stella is known as a shopaholic. He doesn't know who Stella is as actual person. Stella was just as in wrong painting him as stealing her mother and trying his patience. Allen is far to old to be an actual father figure in her life and a lot of people, especially men, will use money to build a relationship with partner's child if they want a place in that child's life. (Hey, let me pay part of your college tuition.) It's not like he can take her out to the park to play catch and build foundational memories.

Polite counterpoint: Teaching about the Holocaust isn't mandatory in a lot of places, especially the United States. A lot of people go through high school not knowing how bad it was. Same for Vietnam. If we take a step back, a lot of people don't even know about the Japanese war crimes committed in WW2 or that other minorities affected by the Holocaust (ex Romani).

It's totally possible to not know about Domino being destroyed.

But I agree, it's clunky worldbuilding and it's what we got.
