#If you couldn't tell I hate how Stella is written in this show

[volgdemagischewinx]

Bloom's parents being toxic and abusive and her straight up lying to them AND NONE OF THEM BEING ITALIAN is just nasty all around. And Stella's remarks "how very American of you-" UGH. Like, there could be so many more fun references to Bloom's nationality if she were Italian like in the original. Also, it just occurred to me.

Why. The fuck. Did they make her a HP nerd?! THERE'S A FANTASY SERIES SET IN VENICE THAT BLOOM WOULD MUCH BETTER LIKE!! It doesn't have fairies, but it is about a teen girl Nina who is an alchemist like her grandfather, and goes on all kinds of crazy and dangerous adventures to help save 6th moon which is a different world I think, or a planet- and it is also extremely magical, MUCH MORE THAN HARRY POTTER ACTUALLY. It's also a kids series, but Bloom IS clinging to her childhood. Vanessa was teasing her in the first episode, but given the illustrations on the book and her drawings (and the book's title) her fixation WAS a bit childish. Which is not a bad thing. She was drawn to fairies because she IS one, and she gravitated towards more juvenile media about them because that type of media didn't treat them like dead folklore. And again, Bloom was 16. That's still just a kid. Some teens cling to childhood longer, that's not a bad thing.

So bloom would 100% be into Nina the Girl of the Sixth Moon and she WOULDN'T be going on assigning Hogwards houses to people.

Sorry I got worked up but damn it I could have written Fate better. I could have! (insert the loki "I could have done it Father! For you, for all of us!" gif 😭😭. I swear to God Netflix needs to fire the Vampire Diaries guy and hire FANS. At least we seem to have read more than 2 books to reference 🙄🙄🙄

Just. Bloom as a Nina stan. My baby. I see it so clearly. God, why couldn't have netflix done it?! I don't care if not many people heard of it, Bloom is SUPPOSED to have peculiar interests! What did they gain from HP? It says nothing about her character, absolutely nothing. Everyone and their mother read/watched HP. It doesn't even tell you if someone likes fantasy, people of all preferences consumed it as a media. But Nina? Now that shows something. And if audience doesn't get it? Show the cover art, or a fanart poster Bloom could have drawn just to show the vibe.

I will never fucking forgive Netwinx for what they did to the warm, loving, and healthy adopted family from the cartoon. Also Bloom is allergic to lying, she shouldn't be able to lie to her parents even if she wanted to smh

I've bitched about Fate!Bloom being American before but it has been pointed out to me that s4 does imply Gardenia is in the U.S but like anything post-s3 I'm ignoring that. You adapt an Italian cartoon you find some way to honor its roots. At least make one of her parents Italian and let them be a multicultural family or something. Also like you said just the way they went about depicting her nationality just reeked of the "oh so special American" thing in U.S media that I hate

Also agreed Bloom should not have been a HP nerd. Bloom is supposed to be a weird girl clinging her childhood obsession with fairies. Her liking an incredibly popular book series about magic that many adults still read doesn't exactly capture that. Also it's cringy as hell. Idk the books you described but they sound fun and exactly like something she'd like! And bonus for it being set in Venice(let her be Italian damn it!)
