Thoughts about each Winx x Winx ship
Because I'm back in my Winx phase again. So I'm making it everyone's problem /hj
Ft. My attempts at making ship names for some of them.
Bloom x Flora (FireFlower)
Roommates, power duo I could see it. Might've been the first femslash I read on Ao3 (though not the first WLW ship I shipped in this fandom, I'll get to that one later.)
Bloom x Stella (SolarFlare)
THE COUPLE oh my GOD they're so gay and in love. As what someone else said, bi gfs. I'm telling ya Stella was probably down bad for Bloom. They can kiss all they want
Bloom X Musa (FireBeats)
I ship them but not to the same degree as the ones above, I also prefer other Musa ships to this one, which I'll get into later. :)
Bloom X Tecna (ElectricalFire)
Probably the weakest out of all of these, tho in friendship wise they are interesting because Bloom is the most hot headed while Tecna is the most calm and collected. Opposites dynamic but I just don’t see it for them romantically
Bloom X Aisha (OceanFire)
Yes. Throw in Stella and we get my favourite OT3. And credit to my amazing best friend for also making me get into Bloom and Aisha being workout buddies / are both buff in someway. Which also adds to Stella’s gay panic (she’s a raging homosexual with her gfs)
Flora X Stella (SunFlower)
I think they have an interesting dynamic but I don’t ship it, I partly blame my intense love for another ship here for making it hard to ship other Flora ships. But honestly I feel like I could see it happening.
Flora X Musa (NaturesMelody)
I’ve read like one fic on them but it never got to the romance dating part so there’s that. I think they have an interesting dynamic (see: 5-9) maybe would ship them.
Flora X Tecna (TechnoFlower?)
After reading an Unlikely pair on Fanfiction.net I love them as a BroTP a lot. I find it really hard to ship them solely because their powers and cultures are polar opposites. But I maybe could see it.
Flora X Aisha (WaterLily)
This. Pair. You would have to drag me off the hill that they weren’t at least tiniest bit gay during the early seasons. Like the hoverbike??? The sleeping on each others’ shoulders??? Hello????
Also peak dynamics? Opposites attract fr. And they feel so fluff (I mean, both of their canon ships are arguably the most fluffy so I think that would translate to this too)
Stella X Musa (SunSong?)
Guilty pleasure ship ngl. Actual guilty pleasure ship. These two beef with each other but I think that’s peak ship dynamics. Musa’s… Musa and probably snarks at Stella one minute and is flirting with Stella the next.
Stella X Tecna (SolarPower)
Yeah this might be the lowest out of all the ones I don't ship. Stella Tecna really don't feel like a match for each other at all, not even vibes or dynamic wise.
Stella X Aisha (SolarWave)
Yes, bickering duo number two. I love them a lot. But also they would have so much royalty gossip or tea sessions (though arguably it’d be Stella leading it but Aisha has it’s the juiciest info known to the universe)
Musa X Tecna (SpeakerPhone)
And they were roommates. I think that's all I need to say. They were kinda done dirty (i mean, most of the pairs were done dirty in the later seasons)
Musa X Aisha (SoundWave)
YES. They are so yuri oh my god words cannot understate the yuri emanating from these two. I'd ship them harder if SpeakerPhone / WaterLily weren't just major OTPs for me
Tecna X Aisha (TechnoWave)
I legit see it. Like did you see the start of WOW when they were introducing themselves??? Literally my favourite dynamic and they were so funny when they beat each other in their stronger domain.
Bonus WLW ships but not within the Winx
Bloom x Icy (FreezerBurn)
Enemies to lovers with a bunch of unresolved UST? Yes, peak dynamics.
Flora X Mirta
The first first yuri. Honestly Flora should've gone the yuri route, didn't have a bf by the end of S1 but was damn close to Mirta. But like I'm not complaining about Felia, they are THE standard (still thinking about the rumor that Helia was supposed to be a GIRL initially)
Flora X Krystal (HealingFlower)
Guilty Pleasure no.2 right here. The concept of the guardian fairy and princess is just mwah perfect (the only other one we'd have in Canon is Musa and Galatea but there was one episode then that's it sooo shrugs)
Whatever the [beep] nick was trying to do to add drama to Felia, this was not the way. So I went, what if yuri yk?

15 Best Blogs to Follow About Solarwaves Window Tinting
When it pertains to window tint, how Solarwaves Window Tinting hard can it be, right? Car parts stores sell countless do-it-yourself tint sets to individuals who addressed the concern with the words "not really" instead of " beware". While it is true that window tinting is not extremely difficult, it is however a really detail oriented endeavor. It is definitely not for those with short attention spans.
What makes window tint hard to apply is its relation to the principles of geometry. Window tinting would be a reasonably easy task of using a flat sheet of plastic to a flat sheet of glass and calling it done if all windows were flat pieces. Unfortunately, a lot of auto glass is not flat but rather composed of curved surface areas. To highlight why this causes difficulties when tinting the windows, attempt wrapping a sheet of paper smoothly around a tennis ball just for practice.
An extreme quantity of care is needed to effectively mate the flat surface area of the tint movie with the curvature of the window. This is usually achieved by cutting really little, really precise, relief triangles out of the edges of the window tint. Each side of the triangle must be perfectly straight and completely the very same length or else the anomalies will show up.
The standard process of applying window tint is, indeed, reasonably easy in theory. The window itself requires to be clean. This does not mean that it gets windexed and wiped off. It implies that the entire surface of the window requires to be scraped with a razor blade to peel away any lingering layer of oil, dirt, or glue that a not extremely intensive application of glass cleaner fails to remove. Given that razor blades are fairly hard and glass is fairly soft, the smallest jerk can cut a big, awful scratch into the glass that no amount of window tint will ever hide successfully.
Since it is not practical to get rid of the automobile window prior to tinting it, it is generally suggested that a pattern be cut out of some inexpensive material such as butcher paper. Once this pattern is trimmed to an specific fit, it can be set out on a cutting table and utilized to trace cut lines around a sheet of tinting movie. Window tint is offered in various different degrees of protection. It is very important to know what design is legal in which specific jurisdiction. Lots of states have constraints on which windows can be tinted.
Windscreen tinting is typically frowned upon, for instance, except for windshield tint around the edges that do not obscure the motorist's vision. There are likewise various ranges of tint, such as entirely black limo tint or completely reflective mirror tint, to mention simply a couple of examples. In many instances, it is legal to tint rear guest compartments to a deeper shade than is allowed for front traveler side windows. Law enforcement agencies are the prime movers behind these sorts of limitations.
When a tint design has been picked and cut to size, it is time to install it on the window in question. A lot of professional installers choose to work tint rather like laying out a roll of carpet. They lube the window and apply the tint to the leading edge of the window, then roll it smoothly downwards as they work to stay out air bubbles or random dirt from spoiling the final product. Squeegees and various pliable however still stiff cards are used to ravel edges and work the tint into the areas listed below the weatherstripping so that the tint covers totally no matter if the window is up, down or partway open.
With the window tint securely in place, the remainder of the vehicle windows are also tinted and then a heat weapon is used to start the catalyzing process that binds the window tint safely to the windows. Time, patience, and the correct tools all help window tinting to become a manageable, rather than an impossible, job.
If all windows were flat pieces, window tinting would be a reasonably basic task of applying a flat sheet of plastic to a flat sheet of glass and calling it done. Given that razor blades are relatively tough and glass is reasonably soft, the tiniest twitch can cut a huge, ugly scratch into the glass that no amount of window tint will ever conceal effectively.

There are likewise different varieties of tint, such as utterly black limo tint or totally reflective mirror tint, to point out just a couple of examples. They oil the window and use the tint to the top edge of the window, then roll it smoothly downwards as they work to keep out air bubbles or random dirt from ruining the last item. Squeegees and numerous flexible but still stiff cards are utilized to smooth out edges and work the tint into the locations below the weatherstripping so that the tint covers completely no matter if the window is up, down or partway open.

Solar Powered Efficiency with Michael Kohler, SILENT-YACHTS CEO
Solar Powered Efficiency with Michael Kohler, SILENT-YACHTS CEO
Sustainability, efficiency and performance. These three intrinsically linked and increasingly important trends are integral to each stage of yacht design, development and construction. Michael Kohler, CEO of Austrian builder of luxury solar-powered catamarans, is a well-versed expert on the absolute necessity of these factors to the longevity of our industry. We caught up with Michael to hear more about the momentous strides SILENT-YACHTS is taking in the field of sustainable yachting.
Q. How did SILENT-YACHTS begin and what is its philosophy?
A. Even though I am a lawyer by profession, I am a sailor at heart. My wife Heike and myself have travelled the oceans for over 23 years on conventionally powered sailboats and motorboats. We spent over 5,000 days on board of our own yachts and sailed over 75.000 NM around the world. The experience we gathered for over 2 decades on the open sea led us to the conclusion that there had to be a better and more efficient way to supply yachts with energy. Therefore we finalized the development of our first prototype, the SOLARWAVE 46, in 2009. It was the first ocean-going yacht which exclusively used solar energy not only for actual propulsion, but also to provide energy to all household appliances on board.
The philosophy behind SILENT-YACHTS is very simple and expressed clearly within our mission statement. We strive to create an independent and environmentally friendly yachting experience which combines the silent cruising of a sailing boat with the luxury of a motor yacht. Hereby, we seek to establish a new era of sustainable yachting by creating the most innovative and self-sufficient yachts.
Q. How do you assure long range reliability with your catamarans? What would you say to those who argue that solar power is too unreliable a fuel source?
A. During the many years we spent on board sailing across the oceans, we came to the conclusion that in regular holiday destinations where people spend their vacations most of the time, the sun is far more reliable than the wind. The simple reason is that people generally seek out sunnier destinations for yacht charters and cruises. They look for calm and protected bays - not for windy ones. Furthermore, once there is no wind, which happens quite often, sailors are forced to make use of their diesel engines - which on average is about 50% of the time when cruising. In comparison, once there is no sun, we simply make use of the solar energy stored in the batteries and can continue for several hours depending on the energy reserves stored in the batteries.
Our Silent 64, the first production catamaran that crossed the Atlantic Ocean on solar energy, has only 160 engine hours (based on a 150 kW generator) in four years of extensive cruising with charter guests in the Caribbean and the Med. This is only 40 hours per year! And we additionally offer an optional kite-sail for every Silent model - so we can use the wind as well for propulsion.
Q. How does SILENT-YACHTS guarantee the luxurious feel of the yachting experience in the more relaxed layout of a catamaran?
A. We are able to equip the boat with all materials our customers wish to have and also think that the layout of a catamaran offers an even more luxurious feeling because of the available space and its stability in the water. Next to this, we offer the absence of noise, fumes and vibrations combined with independence, which is a luxury that no other yacht can offer.
Q. Why should people choose a SILENT-YACHTS solar-powered catamaran over other fossil fuel alternatives?
A. There are three reasons why you should choose a Silent Yacht.
First one is independence and sustainability. As sailors we love the ocean. It is where we belong to be and where we spend some of our greatest moments. However, what we also love is clean ocean water. When you love something, you need to treat it with care and respect. None of us would enjoy sailing in polluted waters. Therefore we need to make use of sustainable technologies which enable us to continue sailing in harmony with nature without sacrificing any luxurious and comfortable amenities we all like to have on board. Next to this, the SILENT system offers complete independence and unlimited range.
This leads me to the second reason, which is comfort. We called ourselves SILENT-YACHTS for a reason. It is a unique experience to enjoy all the luxurious amenities on board our yachts, without the noise, vibrations and smell of a running generator. This is a great example of sustainable technologies actually enhancing the levels of comfort on board instead of compromising them in any way. Making use of the AC, kitchen and any other household appliance while anchoring in a bay, complete silence is something you will never want to miss again once you experience it for the first time. Not to mention the stress of constantly refueling at crowded gas stations.
The third and final reason is cost. Not having to regularly refuel the yacht is something your wallet will definitely thank you for. In combination with very little to no maintenance, the running costs of our solar powered yachts are much lower than on conventional yachts. Another important aspect hereby is modularity. Once there are new technologies available on the market such as improved solar panels, you do not have to buy a new yacht. You can simply replace the existing solar panels or batteries and therefore actually improve your yacht in accordance with the latest technologies available.
We look forward to bringing our readers more updates on this innovative builder waving the flag for sustainability. Stay tuned!
