#w.i.t.c.h. reboot idea

[princess-of-the-corner]

So this is for the W.I.T.C.H. reboot, re: why is Phobos not the heart

I had a thought that maybe its passed down avatar-style, but with like a buffer of a few years? Like If there is no suitable host born around that time then it just like dissipates into the world and gathers again when a new one is born (like it has to be from birth bc. that is what the person /is/, can't change an existing person or smth?), and maybe the previous heart 'died' but went into hiding and then died later, and so the royals had to try again bc obviously the timing was wrong or smth.

This isnt quite as thought out as I want it to be😅 General o

idea though is: prev heart faked their death and so thats why ppl thought it'd be Phobos. Oh! Or maybe it's like. next heir to be /born/ after the prev heart dies is the new heart and rev heart died after Phobos was born! That would make more sense than my earlier rambling 😅

Honestly one of my plot points for my rewrite/reboot is people pretty solidly expecting Phobos and it's a genetic factor through the family line so we have. Three options.

1.) Previous Heart died at a very midway time. I don't think they'd really be hiding or faking their death or anything but like. They died the same day Phobos was born so everyone assumes the power-transfer happened. But order of events was that he was born while the previous Heart died like an hour after but no one noticed/time of death was off/etc.

2.) Affair baby option so the genetic component doesn't apply (would make him and Elyon half-siblings)

3.) The Heart transfers through the women of the family specifically and whoops he's trans and the Heart is trans-inclusive so it skips him.

[burningexeter]

I think I have an idea for a Gargoyles/W.I.T.C.H./Huntik crossover limited series that's also a complete reboot and spin-off of all three.

Elisa Maza, Dominique "Demona" Destine, Will Vandom, Cornelia Hale, Sophie Casterwill and Zhalia Moon are the leads.

Think of it as Brad Bird's The Incredibles meets Joe Johnston's Captain America: The First Avenger, with everything done on a large scale.

[hisparus]

I've seen social media comments criticising the W.I.T.C.H. series as very bad.

But, in my opinion, as someone who has seen the series and the comics, I have seen additions to the series that I liked, or at least ideas that could be taken more out of it.

For example, I liked the idea that Elyon will take longer to become an enemy of the W.I.T.C.H.

Also the attempt to give her more of a team connection with Caleb.

That Phobos was given more of a presence in the first season.

Among others. Yes, it's true that mistakes were made, that some changes spoiled the original essence, or that it became more childish compared to the comics.

However, it must also be admitted that not everything in the comics was perfect.

And with rumours of a live-action reboot on the way (which I don't have very positive expectations for), I think it would be interesting to know what things were liked on both sides. This, with the intention of imagining a good convination and praying that something like this will be shown in a future project to give it the chance to grow as it deserves.

What do you think? What would be your ideal combination?

[ultraericthered]

Reimagine That Villain (Con)

Naraku, Inuyasha Squandered Ultimate Villain -> Feudal Era Kang the Conqueror

Part of what made Naraku falter as the ultimate villain of his series to me was that he was kept around so long, even when there was increasingly little else that could be done with him and we even had other villains on the scene, so he didn't justify his position as the Big Bad to keep around to the very end. There's quite an easy way around that for a reboot of Inuyasha: instead of doing what was done with Naraku's "incarnations" and "spawn" in the old series, have them all be literally different variants of Naraku. Make him like Marvel's Kang the Conqueror, a singular uber villain with different versions of himself across different points in space and time. This way we have a bunch of different major villains who all tie back into the singular overarching Big Bad, as they're all alternate incarnations of him!

No Heart, Care Bears Evil Satanic Sorcerer -> Evil Bigoted Studio Executive

This one's pretty out there. No Heart, the demonic sorcerer villain of The Care Bears Family, would honestly be well-serviced being reinvented into an evil studio executive with an unconcealed loathing of different groups of beings such as the Care Bears. This way, he not only becomes a real threat again, he become an allegorical one: how many studio executives have tampered with the creatives' visions and works in order to churn out something that can be called "soulless" or "lacking heart"? And how many have made decisions that clearly show them to be bigots? Think an Avi Arad or an Ike Perlmutter, or even higher up the chain of command like a David Zaslav! A guy wielding such levels of power and hatred in addition to magic would be truly frightening and formiddable on so many levels. For his aesthetic, he combines features of No Heart, the Wizard Of Wonderland, and the Evil Vizier all into a singular sinister package!

Noah Kaiba, Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters! Bullshit Filler Villain -> AI Of Gozaburo Kaiba's Ideal Heir

This would normally fall under a villain rewrite, but in order to rewrite him, I'd have to reinvent him (and obviously I'd want whatever story he featured in to be set far away from the Battle City arc!). Rather than be a virtual replica of Gozaburo Kaiba's deceased biological son who for some reason bears resemblence to his adopted son Seto, Noah should've been an AI program made to emulate the ideal heir that Gozaburo wanted to turn Seto into, one that'd take on a life of its own in an effort to live up to its purpose and become that heir, which would obviously require destroying and replacing Seto to do so.

Otonokoji Twins, Super Danganronpa Another 2 Serial Killer Abuser And Her Victim -> Pro LARpers Who Are Ultimates In Manipulation And Torture

It's sort of an AU idea based on what the twins were as young adults. In addition to them being a successful music duo, I can see them as gifted at acting and LARPing whatever gimmicky thing they choose to be to work their acts into, and whenever there's any threat to their livelihood detected, Kanade would turn to manipulation and different ways to torment the target - abduction, extoriton, blackmail, mind games, meddling, musical torture, indirect murder, you name it - and would often strongarm Hibiki into being her faithful accomplice.

The Phantom Blot, Disney Comics Black Cloaked Criminal -> Unfinished Character Who Shapeshifts

I legit have no idea why this hasn't become a thing for this character. Make this guy an actual ink blot of what was going to be a cartoon character but who never got finished and whose rough sketch got discarded to decay into the "Phantom Blot" it is now. Give them Clayface powers, including the power to shapeshift into different cartoon characters to pull of their crimes! It seriously writes itself!

Prince Phobos, W.I.T.C.H Tyrannical Usurper -> Charming And Orderly Authoritarian

I know Elyon got a rebooted incarnation recently, but what about her older brother Phobos? I think there's a lot you could do with him if you made him into this more Akio Ohtori-esque character, seemingly the perfect Prince Charming with a handsome, kind face and an outwarldy benevolent reign upon the land he rules, but behind this mask he's a complete sociopath and an authoritarian tyrant who looks to conquer or destroy the other realms of Metamoor so that Meridian alone could stand as the only prosperous, powerful nation. Y'know how in the TV show there was this dumb plot element of Phobos decieving Elyon through illusions that made his Meridian look beautiful and peaceful? Make his Meridian actually like that! Both he and his domain, pretty covers concealing hideous truths.

Mr. Potter, It's A Wonderful Life Sociopathic Wealthy Realtor -> Sociopathic Mega Corporotist

Remaking It's A Wonderful Life is something else that becomes the topic of rumors and discussion every now and again. If it was to be remade in a modern time and Mr. Potter was to be included, there's really no better direction to take him in than to embody the stone cold inhumanity of cutthroat capitalism and corporate avarice. Push him in an even darker direction, with more details spared for just how fucked up and corrupt an enterprise his "Pottersville" would truly be.

(Image used is of actor Brendon Gleeson as Winston Churchill).

The Q Continuum, Star Trek Q Continuum -> Q Anon

Yeah. It's that fucking obvious.

Dr. Regal, Megaman Battle Network/NT Warrior Evil Net Criminal Mad Scientist -> Horror-Themed Cyber Terrorist Mastermind With Military Ties

For both Dr. Regal and Nebula, I touched upon this in this post.

Rosemary Applefied, Nadja Of Tomorrow Wannabe Princess -> Ruthless Young Capitalist

This one's less a total reimagining and more what Rosemary would likely become as she strove to make a fortune and a living for herself in America after the events of the series. Definitely not anywhere near the level of Mr. Potter, but cutthroat in business all the same.

Sailor Galaxia, Sailor Moon Alien Demigoddess Sailor Soldier -> Evil Studio Executive

What Sailor Moon Stars ought to have done with this character! They had Shadow Galactica using the Ginga TV studio as a front for their operations. Information known about this is that there are many civilians also working there who have nothing to do with Shadow Galactica, the Sailor Animamates are employees there, use desks and lunch rooms, and conduct their business incognito, and a supposedly out of service elevator takes you to the secret real top floor, Galaxia’s dominion. These are all solid ideas, but there’s nothing really gluing them together even when such thing was so freaking obvious - Sailor Galaxia with a civillian alter ego as the leader of the proudction company that owns the studio! Give her a fake name and have her wield illegally attained (via maaaagic) corporate influence to advance her master plan, all while the regular people who work there are completely in the dark about what they’re truly working towards, and they could double as the only victims-of-the-day that the story would need. This would’ve made Galaxia seem Freeza levels of scary in how she’d have so much power in her yet would usually not need to lift a finger to accomplish anything since she’s at the head of this corrupt business. The Sailor Senshi taking on an enemy with institutional power that shields their true evildoing wasn’t really done beyond Professor Tomoe being the head of Infinity Academy and Witches 5 doubling as students there, so to do it here was such a golden opportunity that got so tragically wasted.

Slade Wilson, DC Universe Masked Mercenary Mastermind -> Corruptive Teacher

Great Slades and not-so-great Slades have come and gone, but I'd kill (no pun intended) to see a version of Slade Wilson who keeps all else about his character in-tact: army vet, big game hunter, toxic family man, masked mercenary killer, supervillain, etc., but has his day job be that of a school teacher or a principal. An occupation where he has access to young people that he can manipulate, corrupt, prey upon and use as pawns in his secret criminal games. Sort of a Walter White crossed with Gakuho Asano if you will. That would be super interesting and really lean into his darkest facets.

Steele, Balto Jerk Jock Killer Sled Dog -> Police Brutality Dog

There was always kind of a problem with Steele in how he was meant to be a Gaston type character where though his a prideful, boorish jerkass, he's a beloved figure in town....only he was designed, animated, and voiced to be as Maximum EVIL as possible, without even a pretense of subtlety, making it a stretch that no one had a clue about how evil he truly was until he actually goes and does really inexcusably evil stuff. But if we incorperated Steele into an urban setting like Shere Khan in Tale Spin, the remedy to this would be quite simple: make Steele a cop. This way not only does he win over the reverence, respect and goodwill of the public for a different reason, but it suggests he also keeps others in line through fear. He can act as aggressively, blatantly evil as he wants to, what's anyone going to do about it? He has a fucking badge, and it shields him from paying consequences for his corrupt, cruel, and unethical actions. His prejudice against half-breeds like Balto would also take on new meaning, as it's reflective of the very worst of such dirty cops.

Sweeney Todd, Sweeney Todd Demon Barber -> Demon Stylist And Merchant

Sweeney Todd was technically already reinvented when the musical stage play was first concieved, but his original iteration was so obscure that it hardly seems to matter. If Ben Barker got a second do-over, I think his villainy could be ramped up by making him not only a barber, but an acclaimed stylist and the producer and seller of various hair and skin products. Him expanding into a larger business could make him a man who "cuts throats" in a much different way, also expanding his means of killing people, both overt and subtle. And working with Ms. Lovett to make meat pies out of his victims ensures he maximizes profits in both money and in human life!

Tsumugi Shirogane, Danganronpa V3 Ultimate Cosplayer Twist Villain -> Ultimate Amoral Fangirl

Basically doubling down on the Tsumugi we got to see in Alternate Continuity outside the main V3 story. As I've stated before, I do like antagonist Tsumugi when she’s actually being antagonist Tsumugi and leaning into the idea of an unhinged, amoral fangirl and fanfic writer in total control of her own Danganronpa game experience.

Valmont, Jackie Chan Adventures Criminal Gang Leader -> Political Donor Who Heads Conspiracy

Were Jackie Chan Adventures to be rebooted, imagine if the Dark Hand wasn't a crime syndicate but instead a criminal web in a conspiracy that spans different places and carried out by different public figures and civil servants who are secretly involved, like with HYDRA in Captain America: The Winter Soldier? And Valmont would be at the head of the whole thing as a top political donor who makes donations and contributions to various politicians and factions in exchange for their silence and complicity with his secret movement. After a demeaning Villain Decay, this would be a return to top form!

Venom, Spider-Man Vengeful Addictice And Corruptive Symbiote + Eddie Brock -> Vengeful Addictive And Corruptive Symbiote Cycling Through Hosts, Driven By Wrath, Power Lust, And Irresponsibility

In a way, they're already starting to move in this direction with recent depictions of Venom like in the 2017 Marvel's Spider-Man show, Insomniac Game's Spider-Man 2, the recent comic stories that has the symbiote bonded to a mysterious new host as the All New Venom, and maybe even whatever's coming next for Tom Holland's MCU Spidey. Eddie Brock's had his share of solid reinterpretations, but I'm glad Venom can now move away from him as a fixture.

Vlad Masters/Plasmius, Danny Phantom Generic Arch Nemesis -> Half Ghost, Half Vampire Chef/Caterer With Influence Over Politics And Crime

This reimagining of Vlad I can only describe as being one part Count Dracula, one part Hannibal Lecter, and one part Chef Julian Slowik. Rather than the accident by his old friend Jack causing him to turn half ghost, Vlad would have become a vampire like he was initially planned to be and from there he'd gained his phantom powers from the Ghost Zone on his own. Amassing his vast fortune, he'd become a renonwed chef that makes recipes from Wisconsin dairy products, but uses that position to attain his special secret ingredient of human blood. He'd also have hypnotic powers that he'd use to hold sway over local politics and law, including in the criminal underworld.

Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter Wizard Hitler -> Nonbinary JKR Expy

OK, this one is more than a little petty, but at the same time could make for an interesting character! Rather than be a reflection of the racist, classist, nativist despots that the UK and Europe had to contend with a century ago, Voldemort could reflect the populists, bigots, and authoriatrians of this century, and in a way that gives him a striking ressemblence to his own creator, JK Rowling. This Lord Voldemort would begin as a widely beloved figure for the magical gifts they'd imparted upon the world (much like JKR) only for their own personal vices and emotional immaturity to steer them towards seeking further power and self enrichment for the sake of their ego (again, much like JKR), to the point where they mutilate their own soul and become a shell of the human being they once were (again, much like JKR), and with newfound power and purpose they embark on a crusade to persecute and wipe out a vulnerable group of people they deem as detriments to the world order they wish to see, making it their life's mission to see them all struck from existence (again, much like JKR), and becoming the dreaded dark lord who many dare to even speak the name of. The most twisted part would be despite the insistence of being hailed as "LORD Voldemort", or "HE who must not be named", Voldemort secretly does not identify themself as male or female, hypocritically believing their greatness puts them above things such as gender pronouns and labels while in public they'd blast any such person as an inferior that must be oppressed. And unlike the Tom Riddle of old, this Voldemort doesn't fear death. They fear life that they can exert total dominance and control over.

The Wet Bandits, Home Alone Common House Burglars -> Corrupt IRS Agents

C'mon, this would've been miles better than whatever the fuck Home Sweet Home Alone was doing. If only they'd agree to role reprisal...

Yukio Oikawa, Digimon Adventure 02 Wannabe DigiDestined -> The UnChosen Child

Whereas Ken's change would ride on an alteration of his motivations and villainy as the Digimon Emperor, Oikawa's would hinge upon an alteration of his backstory. Rather than a longtime best friend of Hiroki Hida who could see Digimon and dreamed of going to the Digital World, Oikawa might've been either one of the first ever Chosen Children who got unchosen for some tragic reason, or one with the potential to be a Chosen Child but who got passed over by destiny when he was made to spend less time around his bestie, thus unable to observe anything more related to Digimon and the Digital World. Either way gives Oikawa a hangup that he'd carry with him all the way into adulthood, a Digimon fanatic who refused to grow up until he got to have the Digimon Adventure in the Digital World that he was owed back in his childhood. This also enhances Oikawa's desperation, which could suggest that maybe in this version his corruption and draw to the powers of darkness wasn't mere chance. Rather than the pawn of some dark entity, he's embraced the dark entity and made it part of himself, and he will have his way in the Digital World even if he has to ruin the lives of children and endanger both worlds just to reach it! It's every bit as effective and interesting as the original canonical Oikawa.

Yzma, The Emperor's New Groove Treacherous Advisor Mad Scientist -> High Priestess For Supai

As with Chelsea, Dr. Irie, Lila, King Magnifico, and Vlad, this is more moving a character back towards their conceptual roots as means of reimagining the character they'd become in the final product. In the planned Kingdom Of The Sun, Yzma was the high preistess for the Temple of the Sun who secretly resented the sun, blaming sunlight for her physical aging, so she pledged her servitude to the god of darkness Supai and schemed to cast the empire into eternal night by releasing Supai via a blood sacrifice of the young Emperor Manca and granting him the power to destroy and conquer as he pleased. She's also a necromancer who reanimates mummies to serve her. Definitely a darker, more vile take on Yzma than what we ended up with, even though she's still no less comical and bungling. And this is the Yzma who'd get that awesome villain song Eartha Kitt recorded!

Xehanort, Kingdom Hearts Squandered Darknessholic Villain -> Amoral Scholar Of Dark Arts

Or rather, Anxem Norterrax, a researcher who studies the powers of darkness within the Mirrorverse and those that come from such darkness like the Fractured. A retooling of Terra-Xehanort's character for the Mirrorverse setting and in name, characteristics, and even clothes he combines the best of regular Terranort, Ansem Seeker of Darkness, and Xemnas. Would've been quite fun to have around had only Disney Mirrorverse stuck around and been handled better...

Pinned Post (12/08/24), Edited (2/24/25)

Current projects are:

(Main Focus) The Dark Forest:

Valtor cannot undo the time reversal done to the Trix after falling into the Black Willow's tears.

(Secondary Focus) Dance Dance Over Glittering Clouds:

Regina takes the easy way out of casting her curse. In this new world, just as unaware of who she had been in the Enchanted forest, she has no idea why her son has become so distant with and afraid of her.

(On Hiatus) The Hemorraging Aether:

Nerissa never wanted to be anything more than what she was. Just a girl with no goals and no intention of forming any. But she has been given remarkable powers regardless. Powers that have enamored her so fully that she can't imagine going back to an ordinary life. And so she consumes quintessence, becomes quintessence.

One shots of Icy shipped with each Winx girl. And also I am taking part in a W.i.t.c.h. zine and a Winx fan reboot so I'll be working on those in the background.

I can't promise regular updates anymore but I do hope to finish all of these fics and maybe update stuff like Honey Lemon now and then.

___________________________________________________________

If anyone wants to read my fics but can’t find all of the parts, here are links to all of my ongoing project(s);

Honey Lemon

The Girl In The Net

Recently Finished: Meteor Shower

Also I’m no longer on fanfic.net. I don’t have time to delete 100+ fics manually so the account is still up but it will be inactive from here on out.

I’m trying to (very slowly) move all of them (yes even the super cringy old ones) to Ao3 but it is a pretty massive and daunting undertaking. It done! It accomplished!

Spoilers for W.I.T.C.H Reboot Vol.2

I just read the second volume of the W.I.T.C.H Reboot and WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO WILL AND MATT??? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN "He wasn't the right one" (especially since it's clear they're setting up will and gary stu- I mean Arthur) also this is just a larger issue for the reboot but Jesus Christ it's so fucking rushed, like it's the book equilvalent of newer streaming series only having 8-10 episodes per season. I do not believe any of these girls are friends because they haven't show them just having fun (if they decide to make a series for the love of god gives us filler, I want to see these new interpretations of the girls just chilling for fucks sake...except taranee and hay lin give us their nerdy & artsy personalities back please, ditch the stupid stereotypical shit) (well Hay Lin isn't too bad since she does have a pretty good storyline in volume 2 separated from the asian nerd stereotype, I just wish she was still arty...Taranee tho...yeah just because they're barely subverting the tough black girl stereotype doesn't fix it, LET HER BE A NERD GOD DAMMIT).

TLDR: Fuck them for splitting up matt & will, the new ideas and interpretations are actually interesting as fuck they're just executed extremely poorly and extremely rushed (and also reinforce negative stereotypes in some instances [Taranee])

[iridescentmidnights]

Hey I just saw both your Winx and w.i.t.c.h art and they are fantastic and fabulous

I wanna know everything about your hypothetical Winx reboot

Is Aisha half mermaid ? (since part of her family are mermaids)

How come you decided to make Icy and Stella siblings ?

Will Roxy have her own journey to being a fairy or will she be part of the Winx ?

You ever thought of making Tecna part cyborg at one point ?(since she comes technologically advanced planet ?)

What are the worlds like in your rewrite?

I need this cuteness ☺️😊👍

Aw thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰 I'll be glad to answer most questions as long it's not something I consider super spoiler-y. If that's the case I'll let you know. Buckle up this is gonna be a long one!

Aisha is not half mermaid but she is related to them. I plan on giving all the Winx their own final fairy forms and Aisha will gain Sirenix which will give her access to a mermaid tail due to her heritage.

It's actually Stella and Darcy that are siblings!

Though I'm assuming "because ✨drama✨ and I thought it would be funny" isn't the answer you were looking for even though it's true. But the more detailed answer is I have move more expansive backstories for all of the Trix and different world building for the differences in witches and fairies. I even made Queen Luna a witch too! Sorry to be vague but adding to Stella's family felt right to diving deep into my version of her, she loves her family so much flaws and all while Darcy is more openly critical of it. Darcy isn't her only sibling either, there's her OC little brother (which happens a little after the start of the story) and I also made Sky their brother. I'm still on the fence if Sky and Stella should be twins.

Plus in transparent honesty I love Darcy and wanted a much bigger role for her. And yes!! Roxy has her own story, she is a Winx and tied to them but that doesn't change the fact has her own arc plot centered around her. Bloom may be the main character on a technical level but plot wise Roxy, Stella, and Aisha are equally crucial.

I actually did consider making Tecna a cyborg or a full magic AI, it's such a neat idea imo but I felt it would be more interesting (for me personally) to write about them not being the fairy of technology/technomagic. Tecna is a knowledge fairy with expertise/special interest in technology. Tecna actually lives in/is from Solaria.

In fact that leads me nicely into the last bit about the worlds. They're not from a bunch of different separate worlds, it's all Magix which is governed by several courts which are further divided into domains/realms. Each court has a royal family; land (Tir Na Nog though this one might change), sea (Andros), and sky (Solaria) all have a court then their overlap is the "life" court descendants of the Dragon Flame. Actually a majority of the Winx are from Solaria due to being refugees as the courts that would be governed by Bloom is inhospitable and Roxy's is being ruled by Solaria in the beginning of the story.

Thank you for the tag Cosmic! :D

Last song: Reckless Battery Burns ( x ), that Youtube only recommended to me today! I used to listen to GHOST (the vocaloid original artist I mean) often in 2017th but fell out of it, so yeah I totally skipped this song. It is divine though

Favorite color: Torn between pale greyish blue and deep crimson red! They always mesh well, though... Ironically, colors of blood and arcane x)

Last movie/tv show: Miraculous Ladybug! Can't say ENOUGH how badly I dread them retconning 500 things and especially in season 5 instead of just doing a reboot with new ideas! I only acknowledge first 2 seasons as canon and for the next 3 I adopt things based on preference </3

Currently watching: More like RE-watching! Disney's adaptation of italian comic W.I.T.C.H. It is just.... sooo good, dude, believe me. I was not hooked by the comic at all, but their adaptation for TV is soooooo much more fun?

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet!

Relationship status: LOL people from above dropped this bit xD I am single and I think I wanna stay this way. Relationship is just not for me, I either get so devoted and obssessed that my partner can't match my energy or I myself do not give enough in return and leave because I can't 'git gud'. I take equality in relationship deadly seriously and since always either I give less than I receive or receive less than I give, I am kinda stuck... I'll prefer to just 'feel' things for people and never quit the 'what are we' state ever. Simping without trying TO date it is!

Current obsessions: Bloodborne, lmao xD But of course. Though other Soulsborne games interest me too!

Last thing you googled: 'thinking emoji'. I am usually using Tumblr from decktop, so I have to google to copy paste emojis x)

[thewickedmerman]

Winx Club Headmasters

I finally got around to doing some of the teachers from the three magic schools.

Faragonda

Lets address the elephant in the room here. YES, I racebent Faragonda. Why? Mostly because of how my fan-cast to voice Faragonda in an ultimate dub of the series is Toks Olagundoye, who you will recognize as the voice of Mrs. Beakley from the 2017 reboot of Ducktales and the voice of Mel Medarda from Arcane. I basically just took the rich old lady from The Aristocats, Madame Adelaide and racebent her. Plus, nothing wrong with a black fairy-godmother figure, as Whitney Houston has proven in Cinderella lol. I REALLY love how she turned out. Her hair was a MAJOR pain to do but I love it. I especially love her fairy form. In my version, once a fairy gets to a certain age, they leave behind their Enchantix and get a form called Ethearix. Besides, we ALL want some older fairies. I did take inspiration from Morgana's fairy form (Since Morgana and all the characters introduced in season 4 onward don't exist in my version). What's Faragonda the fairy of? Quintessence! She basically has power over life-force, lightning, and being able to give life to inanimate objects. Pretty much what it is in W.I.T.C.H. I actually got the idea of her being the fairy of quintessence from my pal @tiredcloudd (Whose stuff you should check out because it's amazing and they are really talented) when we were discussing our own Winx canon on the private Union of War Discord server. So I have them to thank for this. Also, her and Griffin are a couple in my version.

Griffin

I had A LOT of fun with editing for Griffin because I feel like darker characters a lot more fun design-wise. YES, I did use Maleficent for her face but I also gave her the eyes of The Evil Queen from Snow White. I made her the witch of oracle magic. She doesn't really see the figure but can summon vectors of magic and do some powerful magic. I thought of that because of The Owl House and how Griffin was able to play mind games with the Winx Club back in season 1. I took inspiration for her witch form from @taiyoooh.

Griselda

Out of all three of the professors I've redesigned so far, Griselda was definitely the biggest pain in the ass to design, at least for her fairy form. I mean, Griselda seems like someone who wouldn't actually be a fairy. She seems more like she'd be a witch or a sorceress. I made her a mind fairy, because that's one of the few interesting things that Fate: The Winx Saga did. However, she can do offensive attacks as well. I also love the idea of that being her way of knowing whenever someone is up to something. She's the queen of detention for a reason. For her fairy form, I got rid of her glasses and replaces them with glowing eyes. Her hair is full of barrette thingies that look like brains because she is a mind fairy. For her outfit, I took inspiration from Nebula from season 4 but made it more conservative looking. I had to make sure the colors were more subdued compared to other fairy forms because it's Griselda and that also meant NO SPARKLES. Hell, the only makeup I gave her was purple lipstick because she's not the type to wear makeup at all. I love the way she turned out. Also, pants suit her better than a dress. Her fairy form was an absolute NIGHTMARE to work on. You have absolutely NO IDEA! Also, just imagine the voice of Mindy Sterling (Who played Ms. Briggs from iCarly and was the voice of Lin Beifong from The Legend of Korra) coming out of this character. PERFECTION!

Saladin

Well, I finally got around to posting my redesign of the last head of the three major magic school, Headmaster Saladin. He is also the grandfather of Helia (Even though the original show NEVER actually does anything with that) and in my version, I would actually do something with that. Considering in my version of season 2, part of Helia's story arc was gaining his Believix by learning to stop holding back his true potential anymore. Helia was sent to Red Fountain instead of a fairy school like Alfea so that his grandfather could help him. This also means that Saladin is also East Asian, which I wanted to show with his attire, which includes his Sorcerer form. While his regular form is in more Earth-tone colors, his sorcerer outfit does have more color too it with the white, gold, and purple.

The W.I.T.C.H rant: Text version

Why W.I.T.C.H. deserves a reboot: The Trial of the Oracle Arc

Okay, so here's my W.I.T.C.H. rant. The Trial of the Oracle Arc is the best arc of W.I.T.C.H. by far, but it doesn't make sense unless you know the whole story of the comics. Because the girls consistently complain that the Oracle isn't helpful enough, but the Oracle actually is so helpful that he has to refute the idea that he's a Deus ex Machina in an earlier arc.

The Oracle gets put on trial for being "too involved" and being "too distant", I guess. If it sounds very much like a social media callout stuff thing, it's because the prosecution is actually the villain of the arc. Said villains in Phobos, returning! Yeah, the comics version of the Nerissa Arc didn't bring the former villains back, this one did. Yes, that does mean that Cedric is back in this arc too.

This arc in general a lot of callbacks. Elyon and Caleb return too and Cornelia and Caleb resolve their romance plot in this arc. Also Taranee never really liked being a Guardian and she quit earlier and during the Trial Arc she reveals just how bitter she still is. And she comes clean at the worst possible time during the trial since now it's used to slam the Oracle and she feels really guilty for that but no one blames her. Her feelings are acknolwedged and validated. She also learns to be more upfront about her feelings from all this so it's all good, it's all good.

And also Phobos is weirdly misogynistic in this arc. I don't rememeber that being a thing before all this.

But, yeah, Will seems to be the only one who understands the Oracle out of all the characters, even the others in Kandrakar. The Oracle also understands her really well. I like that they got to meet as equals. The only downside is that this arc also has the usual Will and Matt nonsense where the two can't stay drama-free for a week, so Will's interactions with Himerish (the Oracle) just come across as Himerish just being presented as the superior option.

So, how old is the ageless being, actually? Is this problematic?

And also, about the conclusion, I actually don't like how he got his job back. He seemed happier when he was more connected to others and a normal person.

this is the phobos heart w.i.t.c.h. reboot anon, yeah that first one was kinda what i meant, not so much faking as the timelines being a bit fudged, like someone got the date/time of death wrong, dunno how good the forensics would be. i just had the idea and sent the ask and only then started refining it 😅 in the case of option 3 which i also like a lot, that would make meridian matriarchal then? i feel like i saw a post where you wanted to not do that, or maybe the opposite actually...

could also be like for example everyone thinks its women only but it actually doesnt matter and like the meridian ruling family only had girls as firstborn for a long while. and if any turned out trans they (the trans person) just. refused to acknowledge it bc internalized transphobia/im the heart so im a girl (depending on the general acceptance of lgbtq in general i guess or if its a non-issue). and i guess the opposite if the firstborn was a boy and had the heart like, obviously im a girl then... but then if Phobos is trans but they think hes the heart at first idk how they would come to the conclusion that 'we need a new heir bc this one is a boy' bc they would genuinely just assume hes wrong about his own gender.

ok i dont like any of what i wrote now that i actually wrote it down, but. yeah.

Honestly it's a tossup on if I want it to be a gender thing I think I was just kinda thinking more canon-esque on 'why was it Elyon and not Phobos?' and that was clashing with the 'time was a little fucky with the power transfer' thing.

So I think I'll keep it more on the timing and if I keep the gender thing it's its own thing.

So yeah they just. Previous Heart of Meridian dies and it's expected to be transferred into the next Royal. Phobos is born around the same time but the time isn't /exact/ and they narrowly miss the window but no one knows this. Like a "Everyone is so focused on Phobos being born no one notices grandma takes a nap and doesn't wake up" kinda way

And Phobos unintentionally helps this assumption because like. He /is/ exceptionally powerful. And when he's a baby/small child it's hard to tell if this power is just general talent or Heart of Meridian stuff.

It's only once he gets a little older that people realize that he's not actually the one, and his parents decide to make another child.

At first, I had an entire idea for a TV channel called "Urban Aztec" and it pretty much seemed like I already thought everything through.

Wrong.

Here's a list of the original programming that I want for it.

Urban Aztec Original Shows

• Gargoyles (Reboot)

• W.I.T.C.H. (Reboot)

• Huntik: Secrets & Seekers (Reboot)

• Keeper Of The Lost Cities (Animated Series)

• Obituary: The Book Of Graveyards

• The Dark Harvest

• M.E.C.H.

• MirrorMasks

and last but not least,

• Walking Dead: The Animation (Reboot/Animated Series)

All shows animated, on the same block, three nights in a row and top it off to help them remain consistent, all of them except Walking Dead: The Animation will be three seasons each with a solid amount of episodes per season.

Only on Urban Aztec.

To give you an idea on what you're in store for, in a major change from the source material in Walking Dead: The Animation, the characters of Carol Peletier, Amy, Andrea and Sophia are mother and daughters.

....does witch hat atelier count as a mg since it's witches or it it too fantasy world to be one? either way it slaps

Ultra Maniac

Delicious Party PreCure has its moments but it's not my fav season or anything. I wish I had time for more anime this year, but unfortunately I've been working overtime.

Can I say Glitter and Guilt? Because there's published webcomic pages now

utena is the best show ive watched in a long time i love picking it apart and even tough its super dark and hard to watch the visuals and everything is amazing i love the movie the most its so surreal and dreamy this is all entirely expected bc i love twin peaks and theyre a very similar niche

I really really liked Madoka side story, but I watched yuki yuna and was really pleasantly surprised by it!

Free comment field for gushing about something that didn’t fit the other topics:

uhh watch lego monkie kid its like a magical girl show but about a boy

Keeping it to series i more or less saw this 2022 but i really wanna praise waccha primagi tho its more of an idol series than magical girl the magic is every present in the show and i love the great myamu sama the ending moved me to tears.

saint tail remaster bless discotek

Obsessed with the Shugo Chara Wonderland merch that released earlier this year.

Was fascinated how some of the dress up collection dresses made a comeback in the DeliPre series. For example when Kokone was shown wearing Rikka's blue gown.

Watching Vampire in the Garden (a non mahou show) has given me ideas for making a magical girl OC with clothes based on Imperial Russia. You can never have too many OCs!

all the merch and new content for the early-mid 2000's shows and manga has got me really excited! like, of course we got the Tokyo Mew Mew reboot, but there's been new merch and art for Shugo Chara, Mermaid Melody has that sequal series being released, and even Saint Tail has gotten some stuff. It makes me hopeful that other manga besides Mew Mew will also get the same love and attention!

power of friendship is the shit and somehow mg shows make it not cheesy but good good

The Mascots and Recipepes in Delicious Party Precure are so cute!! I also liked the addition of Rosemary and BlackPepper/Takumi.

Hmmm I really liked some magical girl webcomics I was reading, like Cloudy Wondrous and Captian Jellyfish

I love Takumi from DeliPaPre, he's such a dork and its very endearing how he tries to be a cool Tuxedo Mask type but sometimes forgets his Cool Guy persona bc "omg its yui" lol

Complaint time!

Gushing Over Magical Girls should be good. i like the designs but too horny for the age of everyone

Mew Mint's henshin was a major downgrade from the original

The adaptation of Magia Record was such a disappointment! It undid the happy ending of the game and killed of several characters for shock value!

I finally got around to watching all of Day Break Illusion and GOD it started out really cool and interesting, but than it decided to just get BAD bad a bit after the half way mark. Lots of missed potential.

WHY CAN'T WE GET ANY MAHOU MOBILE GAMES IN ENGLISH EVERY TIME I SEE GAME CHARACTERS ON MGOTD I WANT THEM BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS DISCONTINUED OR SOMETHING Also Miraculous Ladybug is a trainwreck

i watched a lot of older and darker mg shows this year and i really dont like the saturation of designs that exist now also there arent newer medium dark shows that ive heard its either for kids or everyone dies i like both but not as the only option

How easily I fall out of a Precure season. Delicious Party I think is the furthest I've ever gotten

yuis lack of a personality in delipre

The 4th cures design and general costume of delipre didnt really live up to the food theme.

Honestly I really hate how delicious party precure is pushing stress eating as a good thing.

Delicious Party Precure seemed to have TOO many themes at the same time and didn't feel as cohesive as other teams to me.

Hmm I tried watching some of the later entries in precure (tropical rouge and delipre) and I simply couldn’t get into any of them :/ I also tried watching flip flappers again and simply couldn’t get through it again -_- it was uncomfortable to watch

Mahou plans and hopes for 2023:

That the new precure series will be aesthetic af

I'm always excited for the next Precure!

im hoping this years precure has an angel theme and there will be more cyber inspired designs in general i find them fun and good for diversity also ive started the sailor moon anime i read the manga when i was a little kid but ive never watched it

To like the new season of precure and for Magilumere to keep going

Super excited for Hirogaru Sky!! And Mew New season 2

I hope the new precure season uses the duo formula again, and a more pastel color palette. Also looking forward to the new Sailor Moon movie!

I hope the next precure season is better than DeliParty, and I also hope for a Primagi season 2! Just more new original stories would be nice.

lesbians

new original series.

I'm really looking forward to Mahou Shoujo Magical Foghters and In/Spectre season 2!! Gonna watch those weekly!

Learn to take things off the backburner

God I wish I could design magical girls

Hopefully I’ll be able to get my current project going (webcomic)

More magical girl stuff in general, and less fighting among fans over ships and the grimdark vs. standard genres

Thanks to everyone who took part!

Raffle winners have been contacted. I’ll wait... let’s say a week in case people are busy doing something else over the holidays than browsing tumblr, and if there’s no response I’ll pick a different winner.

Ideas for the inevitable w.i.t.c.h reboot to make it more mature based on my one abt winx club

Like my winx idea have them be in college 19-24

Make heatherfield a college town (with its main object is to get its students internships and mentor programs to get ready for the world)

Make will and Susan siblings (Have their relationship be very tense but also very close i.e lilo and nani or Fiona one of her siblings like carl or ian. Maybe have Susan already have william and have him be close in age with will. As for dean x Susan I was thinking of two options 1) have the relationship be young love but was cut off by life that ended in a child 2) have Susan and dean get married young and take in will I.e nathan and hayley james-scott)

Have Susan already have married dean and have them be like spike and snake from degrassi

as it is implied in the comic have will’s mom have a magical background even have Susan have will at a younger age.

Explore different family dynamics. Have the parents/guardians be in varying ages (Explore and show different ways to experience parenthood through the parents i.e adoption with taranee ivf with peter bad sex ed and misinformation about a diagnosis via will and her brother)

Mix the comic lore with the cartoon lore

have orube be taranee’s mother who was a replacement guardian after cassidy or yan lin took over the heart or a guardian group in between c.h.k.y.n and w.i.t.c.h to give the “every generation a new generation is called upon more weight to be clear in this situation orube would be Theresa she just legally changed her name as she came to earth

Make irma related to Cassidy on her birth mother's side of the family since they look alike

when we get wreck 55 singing the shows theme

Have Caleb be one of phobos whisperer’s but have nerissa bring him to life Pinocchio style like she did with astro drop will

[mistyxaesthetic]

I had an idea for a W.I.T.C.H reboot set at a boarding school college and it looks like Winx Club is doing that.

Winx keeps winning. I’ve been waiting for a decade for W.I.T.C.H to get it’s flowers.

[ashbashsquashmabosh]

OK so I know that lots of people on this account won't know what I'm talking about here but it's literally the perfect time for a W.I.T.C.H reboot of any kind.

For people who have no idea what it is, W.I.T.C.H was basically a series of Italian comics that got made into an American magical girl cartoon which got cancelled after two seasons for no good reason. For those avatar lovers out there, the whole fire, water, earth and air thing plays a huge role, it's got friendship and really good humour go watch it.

It's been nearly 20 years now since the comic was first released. With the rise of avatar and the y2k+magical girl aesthetics I really think now is the perfect time for W.I.T.C.H to rise again.

Or at least get added to disney+ plleeasse🙏
