On the Winx reboot leaks

Long post, leaks analisis, spoilers if you don't want to see it under Read More. Seeing the Rainbow artist names attached onto these pictures and the development renders, these are 100% real. On top of that, It's not the first time Rainbow got something leaked, received feedback and acted accordingly. Remember the negative feedback on the 2023 easter eggs designs? Poof, gone. Remember the positive feedback on the 2023 leaked group design? Suddenly, Rainbow started using that Bloom at press events.

I genuinely believe that Rainbow "leaks" stuff now on purpose to receive feedback without actually needing to announce anything final to broadcasters.

Let's see.

From the Lorem Ipsum we can tell this isn't remotely final, but a group test. We're back to Bloom with a ponytail (they really like it!) and Tecna does have robotic limbs. Each girl's design seems to reflect their elements:

Stella has stars, the sun, wings at her feet and light, even light rays on her wings and top

Bloom seems to have scales of some sort and patterns on her leggings. Maybe to indicate that she's an artist? Or meant to represent the breath of life?

Musa, the smallest, got some musical sheet onto her. Overall not the most musical inspired design. Everybody kinda looks like an ice skating ballerina.

Flora got flowers. Really most obvious one there.

Aisha's hair is a bit too much, I prefer her civilian braids more. I like how her dress has wavy patterns of sorts and sparkles that look like shining waters on her shorts and skirt. They can do better on her though. Wings look like they got splashes of water. It's still cool that Rainbow is experimenting more with black textured hair than any american animation studio, so kudos for that.

Tecna looks like she's wearing a circuit but looks the most generic. Probably because she has too much going on with a full bodysuit with patterns. I don't like the accessory on her head.

Proof that these are real: these obvious dev documents

They even got an alt with their "civilian" hairstyles, but it says "transform". Which means no hairstyle or design is final so far.

It seems Musa and Tecna share skintones, Bloom has her own, Stella and Flora share it too, Aisha has her own and is the darkest. I think we can make Stella and Flora a little darker each in varying degrees, to show that Stella is tanned and Flora is a dark skinned latina.

There is a lot of focus on the designs we saw leaked that got positive reception. It's likely they will be finalized, since they went as far as making a test animation with that Bloom design.

A lot going on here in this room already giving Bloom so much personality. Her own shelf with the name with a heart-shaped B. A guitar? A sketchbook and school supplies. Bloom is back to drawing again, we last saw that in World of Winx but in the main series it was always just left implied by her earth room's belongings and her huge drawing desk, yet it was never expanded upon. Hopefully her being an artist can finally shine through her personality.

Most importantly, she's back to being silly, goofy and expressive again. Of course, the reboot is back to square one with the story and characterizations. I hope more quirks that were not explored in the main series get more attention in the reboot (again, like Bloom being an artist!)

The Trix now got a symbol and individual faces while sharing the same body. Icy's design is nearly identical to the original, I actually like the small cuts showing skin on her chest, so she doesn't feel too covered up. Midriffs are back and so is 2000s fashion.

Important detail, Icy is taller than Bloom. Is it her heels? Regardless, we got some more body diversity.

Some more notes:

Artist is credited as Pasqualino Masciulli, a real 3d artist at Rainbow

Date is 17 April 2024, for some reason they're using the wrong format. This is VERY recent. They're NOWHERE near done!

It says episode 106. It must be a reference to the reboot itself, Season 1, episode 6, as the old series episodes in total were 208. This means the series has at least finished writing and storyboarding, but they haven't finished with the character designs yet!

Further proof that fucking nothing is done yet, the leaker said this. From what I just noted above, I believe it. They're not remotely done.

This "Damien" motherfucker looks ai generated, doesn't fit the style in the slightest with his weirdly realistic face and the belts details and clothing folds are all over the place. Shame to whoever did this.

Who even is this guy? Is he the new character Iginio was warning us about? He doesn't look bad but they can do even better. Definitely a fascinating choice for the sexy bad boy, because I know that's who he's gonna be.

Don't fucking use AI for your art, though. It looks like shit.

Interesting, no specialists in the leaks. No Roxy or Terra either though.

This outfit is a mix of 2 outfits from season 2. Which means they're studying their own old designs. The same goes for another Bloom render and concept.

Fascinating detail: they're using 2000s dress up pixel dolls as reference. Learn from the masters! This dress doesn't resemble anything and doesn't seem to be a civilian dress but a transformation one, with all the glitters and stars around.

Last but not least, absolutely atrocious 2000s fashion is back (this is a good thing). We can hope a little but it's surprising how in 5 years they haven't done shit yet. That's some development hell. Either Iginio is really passionate about making this the second coming of Christ or they don't know what the fuck they're doing.

Free hopium tanks!

winx club - age order

okay i just spent an egregious amount of time trying to figure out the age order for the winx + the specialists (+ the trix). so alfea (and i'm assuming cloud tower) are three-year academic institutions. since stella is already established to know the specialists (sky, riven, and brandon specifically), we can assume she met them in their collective first years. & since the specialists seem to graduate at the same time as the winx, that means that red fountain likely has a four year run.

since bloom is canonically 16 at the beginning of the show and stella is a year older than her at 17, that makes sky, riven, and brandon all 17 as well. the rest of the winx (flora, musa, tecna, aisha) would also be 16 (since aisha is 17 at her first appearance in s2). we can also assume timmy is 17 since he's already part of the specialist squad and has likely completed at least one year at red fountain.

now, helia is likely a year older than the specialists + stella because he spends some time dropped out of red fountain but then seamlessly joins the specialist squad in s2 -- which would be the specialists' third year at rf. so, in my mind, after completing two years at rf, helia dropped out and then returned after a year. so it should be his fourth year, but instead he's a third year. this would make helia 18 if he appeared in s1.

when nabu is introduced in s3, we aren't given any information about his schooling or anything that would indicate his age, so i'll just assume he's the same age as the og squad of specialists, which would make him 17 at the beginning of the show.

to reiterate, at the beginning of the show, we have: [stella, sky, riven, brandon, timmy, nabu - 17], [bloom, musa, tecna, flora, aisha - 16], and [helia - 18].

now, just to make it more complicated for myself, i'm going to factor in the canon birthdays. assuming everyone who is the same age is born in the same year (and for easier visualization, i'm going to say their birth years are [2004 - s1 age]), here is the age order:

helia - september 2nd, 1986 nabu - january 30, 1987 timmy - february 15, 1987 sky - march 20, 1987 stella - august 18, 1987 brandon - september 23, 1987 riven - october 15, 1987 musa - may 30, 1988 flora - march 1, 1988 aisha - june 15, 1988 bloom - december 10, 1988 tecna - december 16, 1988

this means that in the year that they all graduate from alfea & rf in s3, the ages would be something like: [stella, sky, riven, brandon, timmy, nabu - 19], [bloom, musa, tecna, flora, aisha - 18], and [helia - 20].

and i forgot if this is only in the 4kids dub or canonically mentioned anywhere else, but the trix are apparently 'seniors' (third years at cloud tower) in the winx's first year. and since they all share a birthday (may 5), this would make the trix 18 in s1 and 20 in s3. (in my rewatch of the cinélume dub, i noticed darcy calls icy "little sister," so maybe darcy is older by a couple hours than icy and stormy just seems like she'd be the youngest.)

i like to play around with school-year cut-offs and i don't think each of the characters that share the same age/grade are born in the same year, so my hcs for age order differ from this list. but yeah :) this is what i could work out based on canon information.

the haunting of ian beale, 2/?

uh this one got long lol. part one here.

---

Ian looked around him.

He looked at who was next to him, and what he was wearing and sighed deeply.

"Well, it's not the Symbolism Room at least."

Henry nodded. "It's the Symbolism Beach, which will obviously be better."

"Was that a joke?"

"Rest assured, I do not engage in any type of jokes, frivolity, japes or shenanigans."

"Well as long as that's settled."

The beach was... endless, sand in all directions on either side of him, water in front of him. Ian didn't look behind him; something inside told him that he wouldn't like it. Normally that would have had him immediately looking from sheer spite but his gut was telling him

he would see Nothing

truly, Nothing.

could he handle seeing Nothing? no, okay, let's move on then because

this chair was very comfortable.

Henry and Ian were in Adirondack chairs, and Ian knew it wasn't his mind supplying he beach because he had never heard that term in his life. Thankfully, something knew him well enough to pair his swim trunks with a shirt and sun hat.... though considering his trunks were covered in yellow triangles, and his shirt had a Radical Dude Doing Sik Sk8 Trix on it, he was still clearly being fucked with.

Henry, Ian was bemused to see, was still in his weird pre-Transcendence 'preacher' outfit, though tonight at least he had short sleeves on.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Ian looked out at crashing waves, water so dark as appear to black, a blue cloudless sky. It felt... calming. Meditative. The waves were just enough to provide sound, but not so violent as to actually disturb the sense of calm tranquility.

His brain, Ian realized, was quiet.

Quiet in that every time he felt the panic rise, it felt like a big fist came to kindly push on his chest until he settled down.

He should probably be worried about that but

oh. hey. A fruity tropical drink in his hand. Convenient, that.

"What brings you here this time?" Ian asked. "I"m not sure how many after school specials I can handle."

Henry frowned a bit. "I'm not entirely sure myself. Quite frankly I'm amazed I'm here spea-"

Henry disappeared. Ian took the opportunity to will his drink from a virgin pina colada to a margarita.

He looked out at the ocean.

He didn't look behind him.

"My apologies." Henry was still the same, though his glass had now turned into a mug that read 'World's Best Grandpa.'

"Not exactly fun being constantly in the midst of an existential crisis, I get it."

Henry looked around him. "This... this is my daughter's beach."

The mindscape of someone dead a thousand years. But

"You seem... relatively calm, about that," Ian finally ventured.

"You mean, as compared to Alcor?" Ian must have pulled a face, because Henry let out a bittersweet little laugh.

"No. I am sad my daughter is gone. But I am happy knowing since then she has had a hundred different life times to experience joy-"

"-and pain-"

"-and that too but one is not outweighed by the other. It just is. We see each other in-"

Henry kept talking but for a minute all that came out was radio static. Ian had a feeling that even if Bill or Alcor were here, they too would only hear that static as well.

"-also, with all due respect for my brother, it has been a millennium. Everyone and everything involved has moved on."

"But not him," said Ian with full disrespect.

"No." Henry took a drink and adjusted his visor. "in a way, I pity him, deeply. I think he will forever be locked in the trauma of losing everyone and everything he knows. There is a part of him that cannot change, cannot move on, and he knows it."

"Okay, but that's bullshit though?" and oh, was he mad? Okay, he was not only mad, but pretty mad, even with the chest pushing blanket on him.

"I'm sorry, but a thousand years, and nothing has changed? Seriously? Also have we forgotten that vampires also can live a very long time, or dragons, and I don't see them doing... doing-"

Ian waved a hand to indicate everything Alcor had done, ever.

"Vampires don't have infinitely expanding and growing power at their beck and call."

"And that makes a difference how?" Man the combination dreamarita, dream beta blocker, and the constant rage that bubbled under his skin was actually a really good combo, the words were flowing but the heart rate was not accelerating, 12/10 feeling.

"My life, Mira's life... they're different because Alcor is in them- and not always for the better."

"Bill might have happened anyway."

"Point. But would I be missing an eye, would-"

Ian stopped, because he didn't want to tell Henry about the pain, the sadness, the absolutely tremendous amount of stress on all of them, because the preteen with the power of a god decided to come into their lives and play with them like dolls.

He didn't deserve that truth, yet.

Everything was silent for a minute, save for the breaking of the waves and the cry of the gulls.

Finally, Henry managed to say, "I think, I am a little upset to hear you say that. But if I put my emotions aside for a second, I do not think you are entirely wrong, either."

Ian was still. He had seen Henry crush the plastic armrests under his hands, caught the hot iron tang of blood in his nose and a flash of meat in the antlers.

"Has he told you, about my children? His nieces and nephew?"

"No. He hasn't? I'm... sorry?"

For a minute, Henry disappeared. But this time it felt like it was because he chose to do so himself.

Henry blipped back in, now also holding a dreamarita. "My apologies. I did not realize how that would affect me. And I did not hold space for your extremely valid criticisms."

Looking at him, Ian felt a wash of pity come on him. What was it like- no, what had to have happened that even a thousand years later you felt the need to exert that level of control over oneself?

"Anyway," Henry went on. "We had triplets- Acacia, Hank, Willow. They were our everything. Alcor was their fourth parent." The math must clearly have not been mathing on Ian's face because Henry added "We also had my father-in-law with us. No but... I don't regret having Alcor with us, having Alcor raise the kids. He loved them, more than anyone or anything else-"

"-except Mizar."

Henry looked like he bit a lemon.

"Yes. Well. My point is, I don't regret it but thinking about it... we were all affected in some way, letting a demon into our homes, into our bed. And... it wasn't always all good." Henry paused. "But it wasn't all bad, either."

Ian thought about it, really, truly thought about it for a minute.

"It's not all bad," he finally agreed. "But he seriously needs to fix his shit."

"I'll have a talk with him-" Henry's hands and feet blipped, appeared quickly hanging from his antlers, then appeared back where they should be. "Or I'll try to anyway."

They drank their drinks. At some point, a goat wandered onto the beach.

Ian still didn't feel tempted to look back behind him. It felt like being fourteen. It wasn't a good feeling and oh, the calm down hand was pushing him down again-neat!

"I am a little embarrassed that I am just now having this realization," Henry said as he began his second dreamarita. "It feels like something I should have recognized a long time ago."

Ian was now three dreamaritas in and beginning to see 5-D colors. "I wouldn't sweat it, it's probably because your consciousness was violently ripped apart and the resulting energy used to power a demon and now the million fragments of your soul are slowly beginning to piece themselves together and wait, how do I know this?"

"You know the answer."

"Ugh. Him."

"But you are probably correct."

"Orrrrrr, and just throwing this out there- none of this could be real and it's simply my brain trying to process the absolute shitshow of the last few years."

"Perhaps. I know that I, personally, do not feel very 'real' right now, which is also very disconcerting."

They sat. They drank their drinks. The goat was eating a seagull, an image that Ian was almost going to immediately throw on a storyboard for the next episode when he woke up.

"Why are you here? Doing this?" Ian finally asked.

"I don't have anything else better to do. Dipper won't listen to me."

Ian was not going to touch that with a ten foot pole but he went on. "That's not your vibe, that's what assholes like me say."

"I am trying to be witty, but that has never been my strong suit."

Which was why Ian wasn't going to point out that that had been nowhere near wit but-

"-I thought you could use someone to talk to, about all of this."

"Okay, but we already had this conversation and I am pretty sure you are not a licensed therapist."

"Very much not; I was a librarian."

"That tracks."

"So no, I am not a therapist. I certainly can't 'fix' you, nor do I have any intent on doing so."

That flare of anger again. "Okay, but my life would be considerably easier if my brain wasn't constantly trying to crash into the ocean and explode, so I'd rather like some fixing, thank you very much."

Henry held his hands up in supplication. "My apologies, I was trying to go for more 'we are defined by our life experiences.'" He looked down. I'm not always the best with.. talking to people. Understanding them. That was all-"

"Mira." Unbidden, her name out of his mouth.

"Her."

On Henry's arms, Ian could see dozens of little round scars, up and down. His hands clasped his mug, and Ian could see that two or three of his fingers were crooked.

Ian had a feeling why Henry had a hard time with people. It wasn't a good feeling.

"But look. One good talk won't fix everything forever. I think you could use someone to talk to about this a little more regularly. I don't know all of what you've been through, our experiences aren't a one to one comparison but, I get it. Really. And I know in retrospect, I should have talked to someone myself."

"Wait. I'm sorry, you didn't have a therapist? Or anything?"

It was disconcerting to see a middle aged man who could instantly obtain and wear the mantle of Death blush beet red.

Ian could see where this was going. "Henry did you ever talk to your wife about any of this?"

"A... a tiny bit, I think. I hope. But, I think I didn't want to burden her... which in and of itself created a burden on her. I trusted her, more than anything else in the world, but I... I couldn't talk to her."

Henry looked down at the drink in his hands. "It was always so much easier to talk here, than it was in the real world."

Control.

Ian thought about the control it took to keep the anger at bay, keep the temper cool, keep everything inside, at all times.

Control, that was more akin to a prison.

Aloud though, all Ian said was "Oof," because honestly he wasn't sure how to handle this level of honesty from a guy he was only talking to for the second time ever, also who was super dead.

"My apologies, I know that was a lot of- as my kids used to say- 'oversharing.' But I just dont want you to make the same mistakes I did."

A chill trickled down Ian's spine. "Um, I'm actually emotionally available and talk to my fiance like a real person, thank you very much. To say nothing of the multiple therapists I am currently seeing."

Henry ignored Ian's barbs and went on. "I know you talk to Mira-"

"How-"

"I can see inside you," Henry said, nonchalantly.

Not even magic airborne anxiety medicine would keep Ian's heart from immediately jackhammering in his chest, stop his temper from instantly snapping like a twig."

Ian's voice was low. "I am sick and TIRED of people, especially people I don't know, RUMMAGING inside of my head."

Henry was flushing but this time there were stormclouds in his face, which tough shit.

"It all comes down to BILL, always and forever, and apparently that's a legitimate reason to invade my privacy? In the most violating way possible?"

"That was certainly not my intention, could I please explain?"

Ian was standing up now, albeit wobbly because those dreamaritas were hitting hard, and looked out to the ocean beyond. He resisted the urge to dump a devastating one liner and began to wade out into the ocean. He'd just swim until he woke up, and then put "learn how to lucid dream" on his calendar so he could peace out right away next time this happened.

"Wait, Ian you should not go out in that water-"

Ian flipped him the bird and kept going.

"No, seriously, I think that's a rip tide-"

Suddenly, it felt like two hands grabbed Ian's ankles and pulled and now he was flying through the water, further and further from shore. He tried swimming sideways, but the not-hands on his ankles held on tighter and pulled him under."

It was a dream so obviously, Ian didn't need to breathe.

But

Everything around him was wine dark and suffocating. Underneath his feet was tens of thousand of feet of water and more than that was a deep crushing M A W, a great big stingray's mouth that sought out pray and sucked it in to crush it between it's two great grinding plates and he was drawing closer and closer and

Something else wrapped around his waist. Something... wood? It wrapped and it Pulled

And the maw and the wine dark sea and the bird eating goat and the beach were gone, all gone, and it was just him, and Henry, in a blank white space.

"I'm sorry, I tried to take you to my space but-"

For a second, everything flickered around Ian and he was in a forest but flicker again and it was the blank white room.

"-but I think that part of me is gone, right now."

"So. Thank you for saving me, but counterpoint, what the fuck was that murder beach?"

"I did not realize that her beach had.. not quite gotten a mind of its own. Say was akin to a machine left on way too long, running the same processes until it burns out-"

"And those processes are?"

"Eradicate intruders by destroying them, and dispersing their energy."

"And," Ian said after a long minute, "that was your daughter's mind."

"She was going through some things." Henry paused. "In retrospect, quite a lot of things."

Ian sat down, and Henry next to him.

"I don't- it's not on purpose, I promise."

Ian sighed. "I had a feeling. Honestly, you don't give off that kind of vibe. It's just-"

"You've been violated. Several times." There was an edge to Henry's voice and for a second the air around him smelt of blood and pine and wait, was he getting mad on Ian's behalf? Oh, that was... unexpected. But cool, thanks!

Henry closed his eyes, took a breath, and the air cleared. "I want to let you know I am not reading your mind-"

"Oh my stars, is that one theory that souls just watch the living like TV true? Because I got to tell you, I am deeply not sure how I feel about that existentially."

"No. I mean, kind of but-" radio static, again.

"I didn't catch any of that but I'm guessing no one is watching grandma go to the bathroom from the afterlife."

Henry shuddered. "Absolutely not. I can just..." He paused, clearly trying to think of a way to phrase it so that mortals could understand. Finally, he just reached out and gently tapped Ian's chest.

"I see that."

"Are you telling me you can see my heart? Because that is unimaginably corny."

"I can see that you are a good man, who loves and is loved in return."

For once, Ian had nothing to say.

The room began to dim, and Henry looked around. "I think you're starting to wake up."

"Oh, uh... okay."

There was an awkward pause, but finally, Ian extended an olive branch. "It feels like you still have more to say."

"I do."

"Then, I guess I'll see you around."

----

A pillow smacked into his face.

"Dude, why are you groaning so much?"

"Love you too, starshine."

"Seriously though, you practically woke yourself up. Weird dreams?"

Ian's brow crinkled. He couldn't remember anything but-

"Did I drink last night?"

"Um, unless you managed to do it in the 2 minutes we were apart before bed, no?"

"Huh. It's weird but I feel... hungover?"

How to fix season 1 Bloom part 1

...out of 1000, because everything wrong with S1 goes back to Bloom getting too much screen time and one post can't possibly fix such a mammoth problem

So season 1, Bloom's in this brand new crazy world filled with crazy things. There are fairies at Alfea, witches at Cloud Tower, and the boyfriend factory- I mean Red Fountain's got specialists. To Bloom, it's more or less everything she could have wanted right? In episode 1 we see she was reading a book about fairies until late into the night indicating she's holding onto her childhood aspirations well beyond the conventional age (which honestly: good on her I love her for that). And in episode 2 she says "I've always wanted to be a fairy with all my heart".

It's clear from this that Bloom has had a lifelong obsession with fairies and so discovering she is one should be unimaginably incredible to her (as it would be to most people). And so I ask: why didn't they delve into this more? After episode 2 we don't really see anything to reflect this aspiration of hers, which is disappointing because after I gave it some thought they could've fleshed this out and added more to her character. How I think it should've been done is have the odd moment beyond episode 2 to just have Bloom genuinely express how cool it is to be a fairy. Specifically in big moments like the first time she does a spell and ESPECIALLY the first time she transforms, like imagine how cool that would feel to anyone? It'd be awesome! Who wouldn't be gloating about it afterwards especially in Bloom's shoes as she didn't know even anything remotely like this was possible not long ago and because of the aforementioned interest in fairies. We just need an occasion like this sprinkled in where Bloom is filled with childlike wonder at the world she has found herself in, that would've been so good. For some comparison: in Miraculous Ladybug, remember the first time Alya became Rena Rouge? She was *so* excited to be fighting bad guys alongside Ladybug and Cat Noir. I want something similar to that for Bloom. Though alongside this it could've offered a bit of cynicism for Bloom, when things get tough she begins to express what she doesn't like about the new world with new pressures and threats, everything was so simple back home but this whole world is so much bigger than anything she could've expected and begins to doubt herself thinking maybe she hasn't got it in her to be a fairy. These doubts could have been what contributed to her leaving Magix to go back home in episode 17. And then when she loses the power of the dragonflame, she should've been completely distraught at what had happened, scared she may never get her powers back and wishing she didn't doubt herself. And once they're back in her hands she feels rejuvenated with life ready to take the down the Trix.

They didn't need this in season 2 and beyond. By that point it's mostly old news for the most part to her and she's more or less on the same level as everyone else. But it would've been such a nice way to humanise Bloom and make her more relatable. It would also contextualise her arc in season 1. Rather than just making her the omnipresent focus of the season, she's a curious young woman in a brand new world whose discovering who she really is whilst other characters get fleshed out enough.

Those are my thoughts for today, thank you for reading.

P.S: I really need to rewatch S2 honestly but I've got still got a lot to analyse and discuss from S1 so we'll see.

The day we found you (a bad batch modern au)

Chapter 4: The New Morning

Ages:

Hunter: 9

Wrecker: 8

Cobalt: 6

Crosshair and Tech: 4 1/2

Echo and Fives: 9

Trix: 10

99: 50

Shaak ti: 45

Date: 20-21st June

Cobalt couldn't sleep.

It was so annoying, he'd been tossing and turning for nearly an hour now but he just couldn't get his eyes to stay closed, he'd tried everything, putting the blanket fully over himself, lying on top of the blanket, just about every sleeping position he could think off, he even had a quick bathroom trip to see if he needed to pee (admittedly he had) but even that hadn't been any use.

He only had one option left and was very nervous about it.

Slowly getting up he tiptoed into the hallway and slowly walked into 99's room.

He tiptoed over to the bit but stopped just short of 99's bed.

He shuffled his feet and bit his lip nervously as he tried to decide if it was was really worth waking him up when 99 stirred and looked at him.

"Cobalt, is everything alright?" He asked.

"I can't sleep...I'm sorry for waking you." Cobalt said.

"It's alright, do you want to stay here?" 99 asked.

"Could I?" He asked.

99 nodded and moved the blanket allowing Cobalt to climb into bed.

The next thing he knew the sunlight was shining into his eyes, grumbling he turned over on his other side and rubbing his eyes. He was suddenly staring at an older woman who was smiling warmly at him.

"Hello." Cobalt said tiredly rubbing his eyes.

"Hello, why are you in our bed sweetie?" She asked warmly.

"Umm sorry, me and my brothers we're..." Cobalt began.

The nice woman smiled warmly at him.

"It's alright sweetheart, 99 already explained everything." She said warmly.

"Cobalt isn't it?" She asked.

He nodded.

"Yes ma'am." He nodded.

"I can see why, those are the bluest eyes I've ever seen." She said.

Cobalt giggled shyly and looked at her smiling shyly.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Shaak ti." She said smiling.

Cobalt's stomach rumbled loudly and Shaak ti chuckled as Cobalt looked away embarrassed.

"Hungry sweetheart?" Shaak ti asked.

Cobalt nodded shyly and Shaak ti held out her arms.

"Want me to carry you?" She asked and Cobalt nodded letting her pick him up.

They headed into the kitchen and Shaak ti set Cobalt down on the kitchen counter and got to work preparing toast, bacon and eggs, Cobalt passing her something if she requested it.

It was nearly ready when Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair and Tech all walked into the kitchen all yawning and rubbing their eyes.

"Cobalt there you are." Wrecker said.

"You had us worried." Hunter said.

"Hello boys." Shaak ti greeted turning around.

The other jumped startled.

"Who are you?" Hunter asked alarmed.

Just then 99 came in and saw what was going on.

"Ah boys this is my wife Shaak ti, Shaak ti this is Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, Tech and that one there is Cobalt, these are the boys I told you about yesterday." 99 said.

They all waved at her awkwardly.

"We made you breakfast." Cobalt said indicating the plates on the counter.

The boys all took their plates and sat down to eat, joined not long later by Trix, Echo and Fives.

"So what are you guys watching?" Fives asked plopping down next to Wrecker.

"Something called Scooby doo." Wrecker said.

"Wait, you've never seen Scooby Doo?" Fives asked amazed.

Wrecker shook his head and Fives gasped dramatically.

"Oh my friend Scooby is an absolute classic, how could you have not seen it." Fives said dramatically and Wrecker shrugged grinning.

The boys all watched cartoons and ate their breakfast laughing at either the cartoon or Fives's jokes neither 99 or Shaak ti could tell.

The boys all got ready for the day and Shaak ti couldn't help but notice how worn the five new boys clothes seemed, she also took note of how thin and dishevelled they looked, now she wasn't one to judge but clearly their mother hadn't been doing her job.

99 approached Hunter.

"Hunter I looked in the phone book yesterday and I didn't see the surname you mentioned?" 99 asked.

Neither failed to notice the way the boys tensed.

Just then the news channel came on with a broadcast.

"Five young boys from Tipoca city have gone missing, their names are Hunter Se age 9, Wrecker Se age 8, Cobalt Se age 6, Crosshair Se age 4 and Tech Se age 4, these boys are the children of Mistress Nala Se and any information on their current whereabouts is appreciated." The reporter said.

Everyone looked at the five boys who tensed in horror.

"Uh oh." Hunter said having a bad feeling about what was next.

Okay, so the Trix are sisters, and they're descended from the three Ancestral Witches, right? But how does that work, since the Trix can only be descended from one of the Ancestral Witches??

Hi there! I don't think the Trix are actually biological sisters. I remember a couple scenes from season three where it was indicated they had never grown up together as kids. It’s possible they could have lived in different locations during their childhood, but I always took those scenes as them not being blood sisters. Plus, as you mentioned, if they're meant to be descendants of the Ancestral Witches, they logically couldn't be biological sisters.

I had some late night thougts about the pixies, so here is a long post about them. I only watched like two episodes of PixiePop, so...

Lil rant:

I personally dislike that all the Winx meet the pixies after saving them, and then we have like two-three other pixies we see and get to know.

Instead, I think Dakar kidnapped a handful of other pixies, mostly the young ones and two of the main ones. Well, three if we add Piff. I think, Chatta and Lockette would be a good choice.

We wouldn't have that weird plot with Amore and the underland people (I hate these episodes) and she would meet Stella later.

Bloom and Lockette would bond first and have their own scene. We could also have a jealous Stella and Layla explains how these pixie-fairy-relationships work. But that's optional.

Meanwhile the others are sent to the pixie village. There, Musa, Tecna and Flora meet their own pixies and bond. Each would get their own scene. Perhaps Digit got lost and Tecna helps to look for her. Tune just meets Musa in the village or something.

We learn in the village that the pixies are born from their flower and how they age in time. Because honestly, I think mid-season with Layla's development it would've been nice to age up Piff earlier and it shows/explains how the age up (I think, pixies have three life stages. I am not sure how long exactly pixies live because I have no metric for myself how long other magical beings live therefore: they live only half as long as other major magical beings (fairies, witches, wizards)

For save keeping, the majority of pixies are evacuated to Alfea (which would've happened anyway due to the pixie bonding course that happens each year at least thats how I think fairies meet pixies). That's how Amore ends up at Alfea and meets Stella.

We also get other fairies bond with pixies. Because yes, it's about the Winx but let's be realistic here other fairies probably have bonded pixies too.

Some pixies have no bonded fairy which often indicates their higher calling (messager pixie).

Pixies are good magic while fiends are dark magic. But pixies can't be corrupt, they must be pure. So there is no equivalent to a dark fairy. Obviously. And if a fairy rejects her pixie kiss, I think the pixie should die.

+ unpopular opinion but the pixies beating the Trix? I didn't like that. If I ever rewrite Winx or use this scene or whatever, I would change it to Digit dying and then being replaced. Because I am cruel.

Winx Club LGBTQ+ Headcanons for Pride 2024

Hello! I would like to share my LGBTQ+ headcanons for the Winx since it's Pride. I'm also gonna elaborate on why I headcanon their sexualities and genders:

•Bloom - She is DEFINITELY a shy bisexual girl. I like to think that she and Selina (her former childhood best friend and one of the ((pointless)) antagonists in season 6) had dated at one point but they broke up due to Selina avoiding Bloom.

•Stella - I see her as bisexual but has a preference for men but still occasionally flirts with girls time to time. Like she comes off as straight because she likes men more, but that doesn’t mean she doesn't like women in an attractive way.

•Flora - I don't what it is, but for some reason I get trans vibes from Flora, I just do. Like, when she was a boy she would wear dresses and makeup and she would be picked on by other kids because of it. And I think when she came out, her parents, Alyssa and Rollos, were like, "We know." in the most chill way possible. Basically they're supportive and love their daughter and will correct ANYONE for using the wrongs pronouns for Flora. Helia and Miele would be the exact same way.

•Musa - A bisexual icon (or bicon lol) who goes by she/they pronouns. I feel like she mostly goes by she/her pronouns but on certain days feels like going by they/them. Kind of like me.

•Tecna - She's definitely somewhere on the ace spectrum, ace, demi, somewhere around there. I feel like she's most likely demi because in first episode of season 2, there was an indication of Tecna and Timmy… doing the "devil's tango" and they try to hide it but Stella doesn't by it but she plays along for their sakes.

•Aisha - She's definitely pansexual, no questions asked. I feel like Musa and Aisha could've been a thing had they not given them love interests (aka Riven and Nabu). They even danced together at one point during the season 2 finale, like come on!

•Roxy - I know Roxy isn't technically part of the club (YET because the reboot will have her part of the Winx), but she is in my heart so she's on the damn list. Anyway, she is DEFINITELY a lesbian. I know that the comics gave a boyfriend but those aren't technically canon so… With that hair and her cinnamroll yet rebellious attitude, DEFINITELY a lesbian.

And yeah, those are my LGBTQ+ headcanons for each of the Winx this Pride. If you have any headcanons for each of the girls, please let me know, I would love to hear your thoughts. I'll probably do one for the Specialists and/or the Trix if I get to it before this Pride ends. If not this Pride then probably next Pride but I can't promise that I'll remember to do that.

I could've swore I clicked post now instead of something else. Guess I have to do it again.

To anyone who doesn’t know this, which is everyone except those few who do. This rewrite is slowly evolving into a group project. I’m now involving a few of my friends to help me with the rewrite. Let’s just say it all went through when we agreed to do it this way. I will change the colour of the texts to indicate which part was written by whom. But I will not disclose where you can find these people. One of them was already attacked when he wrote a fanfic a certain discord server didn’t like, and I don’t want another repeat of it.

From this post onwards, this will be written by me, my IRL friend, and my online friend who is okay with sharing his alias, Dad.

Also, fun fact, Dad is not allowed to work on writing Bloom after this for... reasons.

Only the text that were coloured meant it was individual on-the-spot ideas that were accepted. The black coloured text meant it was previously discussed and implemented.

Aisha didn’t want to believe it even when she read it over and over. There was no way this could happen, right? There was no way her uncle would do something like that to his own family. She didn’t want to believe it, but it was right there, plain as day. She had never thought Tritannus could ever be the heir of Andros because they had always believed it was Nereus. She and her two cousins always thought Nereus was the chosen heir. She knew this had to be brought up when the rulers of the realms meet together to discuss what to do with what her cousin has done, if that was still her cousin.

Meanwhile, Omnia had made sure the selkies were prepared for what’s about to come. She knew the Trix were working with Tritannus, or whoever it was using his body. She just had to confirm this theory of hers. Even if he was considered a troubled kid, the crown prince never went out of his way to hurt anyone before. Or maybe he’s changed in a way she never knew. But there was something off about all this. Something that didn’t seem to add up at all.

From the shadows, a small creature that resembled a fish of the infinite ocean swam away, its red eyes glowing as it slowly made its way towards the Emperor’s throne. Right there at the throne, were the Trix and one very familiar figure with an unfamiliar personality. (Since it has been established that Poseidon has taken over Tritannus’s body, I will stop referring to him as Tritannus and start referring to him as Poseidon). Poseidon smiled as he saw the oncoming fish, knowing this little fella had some news for him.

Poseidon couldn’t help but be amused that Omnia thought a few selkies could ever stop them. Even if they somehow regained their magic, there was no way anyone could stop him now. Icy was beginning to wish she had met Poseidon when he was still a solid being and not using someone else’s body. She had thought maybe she could finally find someone who wanted world domination as much as she did. Stormy and Darcy could care less about the entire love life Icy wants, but one thing that stood out the most was how Poseidon didn’t seem to care if the magic dimension could potentially be destroyed.

Icy was in love with the amount of power Poseidon holds, it was dangerous. Both Stormy and Darcy were worried for her, they’ve seen her hungry for power before, they’ve seen her put herself in danger just for that amount of power before as well.

Of course, the three girls would still go on Domino because they’re the princesses of their respective planets. Roxy would also be there because Nebula doesn’t technically have someone else chosen to be the next leader of the Earth fairies. Yes, the Earth fairies are there as well. Despite not being from Earth (headcanon), they’re still a part of it. No, the three girls will not be wearing those horrifying dresses. Aisha would don on a mermaid dress, simple, elegant, no ugly flowers. She is the only one I have a confirmed design on, Stella is getting worked on and Bloom… she’s getting ignored for the time being. Anyway, back to the rewrite.

I plan to have them all discussing the pollution rather than whether they should save their own planets. Number one, the pollution only happens on Earth, it doesn't happen anywhere else. The toxins were brought to that planet because of that one individual, so I’m not going to write about them arguing like little kids about not wanting to help someone.

The entire Diaspro scene will be shifted to look as if Bloom is just insecure about her own relationship because “Yoo hoo! Roy has the pendant, he hasn’t given it to Sky yet.” So currently, Sky trusts Diaspro more. She also isn’t the king’s liaison, but just someone they agreed to give a second chance to. Only because she managed to help Sky remember some parts of himself and who he is.

I’m also changing Diaspro’s line to tell Bloom that what she’s doing is driving a wedge between her and Sky, no one else is doing it. Bloom’s dialogue remains the same, with Diaspro complying to calling her “Princess Bloom” as she wants. Somehow, this annoys Bloom, even when she’s the one who wants to be called with such a title.

(Fun fact, when discussing this part, Dad had a little rant about how Bloom wants Diaspro to call her ‘Princess Bloom’ and then proceeded to get offended when she does.)

When discussing what they should do about Tritannus, Aisha had her fists clenched tightly. She knew there was more to this than anything. She knew there was something else in the oceans that was causing this. It couldn’t have been her cousin alone. He struggled to even use his magic most of the time, how could he just suddenly gain total control of it? That’s when she looked up and noticed the look on the queen of the Earth fairies. Nebula had a grim look on her face, as if she knew what was happening.

It’s a shame the Earth fairies weren’t even mentioned in season five despite the fact that they were brought back during season four.

3, 6, 19 and 21 for Valtor and 2, 4 and 25 for Daphne from the character ask game? 🙏

Thanks for the questions!

Valtor:

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

How overpowered he is. This is literally the crux of pretty much every issue with him. I'm going to take them one at a time.

First off, it is ridiculously easy for him to just get what he wants. He barely encounters any obstacles at all, especially when the Winx aren't there to fight him. This creates inconsistencies with the backstory. If it is this easy for him to steal magic and he's so powerful, it is hardly believable that he wasn't doing this before he was imprisoned or that if he was doing it, the Company were able to limit the damage he'd do (especially since the leftover Company members seem so powerless against him in the present when they should be even stronger as fighters after the 17 years they've had to acquire wisdom, experience and to develop their magical abilities further; make it make sense!). And not just that. The idea that he can just waltz into both CT and Alfea, take over the first and dispose of the head of the latter, not to mention what he did on every other world he set foot on, erases any kind of stakes from the story. It implies that he cannot be stopped by the authorities. So why is he hiding then instead of taking over the world since nothing has given us the indication that there is a force that could stop him? Leaving that issue aside, he just succeeds too easily, which makes everyone else look like weak, incompetent morons and doesn't help him either. Most of the places he robs of their magic were hardly protected at all when making him struggle a little but still succeed and outsmart his enemies would have done much more to highlight his power and cunning. They just go about building him up as a threat in the wrong way.

Secondly, he starts to unravel so badly from 3x18 onwards. The minute they introduced the Agador Box, it was game over for him and his credibility as a villain. This might seem to go against the idea that he's overpowered as the Box seemed to be a plot device demonstrating that he, too, is limited. But the truth is that nothing they'd shown before has given us any indication that power could ever become too much for him. The Box doesn't make sense when his goal was always to collect power and he himself never gave any indication that he was getting overloaded in order to foreshadow his need for it. The truth is that they needed a way for Winx to defeat him after they went overboard with his abilities and the Box was pretty much it. All his spells go in, then with the help of some fairy dust all his spells go out. Boom! Problem solved. By a cheap plot to get rid of the virtually invincible villain they created. If they'd set some limits from the start, this literally never would have been an issue. I'd actually argue that it makes way more sense for him to come with preexisting limits installed by the Ancestral Witches. After all, they wouldn't want their creation somehow amassing enough power to overthrow them and possibly kill them. It would have given him something to overcome and been a much more organic way to keep him at a power level that wouldn't require them to turn him into a pathetic wet cat for the Winx to be able to defeat him.

And lastly, I think his invulnerability contributes the most to people misinterpreting him. I have seen Valtor stans swearing up and down that he is composure personified and so in control of himself, which just... isn't true. Valtor is calm and collected for the majority of the season not because that is who he is as a character but because there is nothing that can oppose him and truly stand in his way. Think about any instance when something doesn't go like he wants it to, be it mind-controlled Ediltrude and Zarathustra telling him Griffin is trying to escape in 3x11, the Winx and their teachers failing his plan to kill Bloom in 3x14 or the Trix laughing at him in 3x25. His instant reaction is violent anger (less so in 3x11 but super evident in both of the other examples). Really, his composure is proportionally tied to his excessive power that no one else can challenge. And in those last episodes when it becomes clear his power is not going to be enough, he's not unraveled completely yet because he's exploiting everyone else's emotional weaknesses such as siccing the Trix on Bloom in 3x22 under guise of letting them fix their mistake from 3x20 and lying to Bloom he's absorbed her parents into his body in 3x23 to save his skin. He still believes that he can win because he's holding the better hand but once his spells are scattered in 3x25 and he loses the Trix as his minions, he goes completely off the rails. That is to say that his power is a crutch and limiting it from the start could have afforded more opportunities to explore his character, make him more interesting and compelling if he has to struggle and isn't allowed to keep his composure this much.

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Being obsessed with Griffin

Too many things for comfort. Definitely the pride that easily crosses into arrogance. Recently someone told me that they've noticed I can act quite arrogant and I was like "We know but hey!" I'm pretty sure that it's not in the grand proportions in which it is with Valtor though so... at least I have that going for me. 😅

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

Well, that's easy. I HATE what they did with him and the Trix. Okay, he wants to keep them under his thumb by making them bicker with each other but a) that shouldn't have worked after the previous season and what happened with Darkar and b) why would he feel the need to manipulate them when it's never indicated that they can be a threat to him? I am a firm believer that they should have leaned way more into the fact that the Trix are descendants of the Ancestral Witches. They could have mostly kept his strategy of divide and conquer but with the added bonus that he is implied to be mega uncomfortable in the Trix' presence because of how much they remind him of the Ancestral Witches. That would have done wonders for his character and saved that particular subplot. His discomfort with the Trix would perfectly foreshadow his confrontation with the Ancestral Witches in 3x26 and could give us context of why Valtor is amassing so much magic (to ensure he'll never be under his mothers' thumb again). It'd give more depth to his character and make him feel more real when there is a negative situation he's desperate to avoid.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

My favorite thing is to have him be wrong about something/have someone else (usually Griffin) get the upper hand on him, lol. I think you can easily infer why from all my ranting in the first question so I'm not going to rehash that whole thing again here. I'll just add that it's really satisfying to watch someone wipe his smug look off his face. 10/10 would recommend at every possible opportunity. (Quick note: the way his defeat was handled on the show wasn't even cathartic because they had already torn him down so much since 3x18 through the script itself that Winx didn't really get to crush him in a satisfying way, especially considering how personal he made things for them during the season.)

I don't like having to write his speech patterns because I am always second guessing whether he sounds the way he's supposed to. He does have a more formal way of speaking and I have to remind myself of that constantly. It's a struggle to keep his dialogue in character and I am not a fan of that. But like everything, it gets easier the more you practice it.

Daphne:

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

That's so tough considering how badly canon treats her. I'm still unclear on whether her being the previous Keeper of the Dragon Fire is just one dub's version or canon all around. While to me that's always been canon, I'm gonna be very controversial with my unpopular opinion - my favorite thing about her is that she was resurrected. Yes, season 6 could have hardly treated her worse and yes, they probably brought her back for Bloom's sake, not her own but I am happy regardless because it pisses people off Daphne deserves to be more than just the ghost that died for Bloom's sake. Her season 6 storyline may suck but it is the first time that the show has treated her as her own character rather than as a prop for Bloom's story and I support that idea. I really wish people would think about that instead of insisting that Daphne stay dead just because the show dropped the ball with the execution of her revival.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Oh, ouchie, that's a tough question. It may be because of my long-standing obsession that's currently been kicked into motion again but the first thing that popped into my head was The Hunger Games. There is just a great similarity between Daphne and Katniss both going above and beyond to protect their little sisters. And thinking about this a little more in-depth, that would actually do Daphne a very big favor because it will allow her story and feelings to be explored like they never were on the show. If she were the main character just like Katniss is, she doesn't have to be sidelined for the sake of focusing on Bloom. Daphne will be the center of the story which will allow us to witness her journey and more of her character. She would still be defined by her sacrifice for Bloom (so her character won't be warped beyond recognition) but she won't have to be contained and limited by it. She can have her own story and be the main player in it, have her trauma explored because that is one of the central things The Hunger Games focuses on.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Oh, it's impossible to remember what my first impression was because it's been about 20 years since then. But I am positive that I always loved Daphne! However, now I am able to appreciate the nuances to her character and all the potential that she has. She's definitely one of my faves and deserved so much better!

Ccould we please have a plushie/plushkin headmate themed after rabbits and vintage cartoons? Preferably male aligned + a protector/comforting role. Thank you. -🪐🔪

Hi!! This was an absolute joy to make, i hope you love it as much as i loved making it!!

☆ name(s): trix, hopper, bugs, harv

☆ age: early 30's

☆ pronouns: he/him, they/them, bun/buns

☆ appearance: An anthropomorphized plush rabbit, with grey fur and a white spot across the torso. about average height (perhaps a bit short!) and their ears etend above their head, bending slightly downwards towards the top. There are a few small mats in bun's fur, indicating being well-loved and familiar.

Stephen Strange Meta-Fic Sequel — Chapter 17: Catch-Up, Make-Out

There we go! Sorry for the delay! Gonna keep these chapters coming! Also, love is in the air here for our beloved sorcerer. Stay tuned!

TRIGGER WARNING: injury mention, death mention

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 17: Catch-up, Make-Out

*Stephen opens a portal back to Kamar-Taj and lets Prettywitch go change. He lets Wong know that Prettywitch has passed her Trial. With that news, Wong goes to find Trix.*

*Trix is patiently waiting in the cafeteria for the others when she spots Wong.*

Trix: Well? How did it go?

Wong: Your friends have both passed. Prettywitch has gone to her quarters to try on her new robes and Steward is in sickbay. There was an incident. *He catches her up to speed.*

Trix (worried): A soul eater?!

*Wong nods grimly.*

Wong: Strange did not intend to put her in such danger, but the Catacombs are vast. It is easy for hostile entities to find their way there and conceal themselves.

Trix (hesitantly): But…Steward killed it, right?

Wong: Yes.

*Trix frowns to herself.*

Trix: Tear and Steward were a mess for a while after the mine. We’ll have to keep an eye on her after this for a bit but thank god she’s safe. Plus PrettyWitch got to meet Bats! And you willingly hugged me so today has turned out well all things considered. *She shakes herself out of her funk.* Let’s go find the others then.

Prettywitch: *She comes running out in her new robes.* Hey guys! *She stops to show off her new wardrobe.* Well? What do you think?

*Her robes are an elegant shade of indigo with an intricate yellow trim. The overall design of the robes has a distinctly Japanese influence. It beautifully encapsulates the principle of wabi-sabi; the acceptance of transience and imperfection while appreciating the beauty of nature and life. While it appears simple, the details within the fabric give way to a subtle grace that reflects the harmonic chaos of the universe.*

Trix (grinning): Absolutely gorgeous! What do you think of mine? *She does a little twirl.*

*Meanwhile, in the sickbay, I’m awake again and try to sit up. It’s rather painful to breathe too deeply or attempt to sit up. To top it off, I’m still slightly woozy. So, after a bit of concentration and struggling, I cautiously use telekinesis to prop myself up and move some pillows behind my back. It hurts, but after I let go, I’m at least in a semi-reclined position. It took a lot of effort and I pause to cough up some ectoplasm. It’s a side-effect from having had 55 spirits inhabit my body at once. When I hear someone approach, I quickly compose myself and wipe my mouth, wanting to at least be semi-presentable. Stephen comes in to check on me, looking horribly guilty.*

Stephen (grim and sincere): Hey, Steward…I’m sorry for what happened during your Trial. I should have looked more into it and I screwed the whole thing up-

Me: Stephen, stuff happens. Since when did anything run smoothly or as intended?

Stephen (frustrated): This SHOULD have gone smoothly.

Me: What’s done is done. It’s in the past already.

Stephen: You got hurt because of my mistake.

Me: The Catacombs are literally an enormous underground maze, Stephen. It would be hard for anyone to see everything down there. The important thing is that I’m alive, right?

Stephen: I would have preferred alive and uninjured.

Me: Hon, I’m not even mad. I chose to go confront that thing on my own because I didn’t want it to keep eating innocent people. That fight was my choice. I had help, yes, but I acted of my own free will. I could have ran. You know that.

*He stares at me for a moment and sighs.*

Stephen (resigned): Gods, the Ancient One really did call both of us out, didn’t she?

Me (giving him a small smirk, to indicate to him that I’m sincere and truly not angry at him): Yep.

*He’s quiet for a while.*

Me: I’ll be okay. You popped in right during the fight and got me out of there safely afterwards. This kind of thing is what you and Wong were training us for, right?

Stephen: Well, yes, but I didn’t want it to escalate so quickly out of control.

Me: *Teasing him slightly, imitating the Ancient One* You cannot beat a river into submission. Surrender, Stephen.

*He huffs, trying to be annoyed, but he can’t.*

Me: We’re good, Stephen. Okay? The danger has passed for now, I’m here, and I’m not even mad.

Stephen: Fine, but I’m keeping an eye on all of you.

*I stick my tongue out to tease him again, also doubling as a way to good-naturedly comfort him.*

*He finally cracks a small smile.*

Stephen: I’m proud of you.

Me (smartass, but more just to make him laugh): I know.

*He musses my hair affectionately.*

*Trix walks into the infirmary with Wong and PrettyWitch behind her*

Trix: You better not be dead. I know your thing is ghosts but that would be a bit much. *She grins at Stephen and Steward.*

Prettywitch: We’re glad to see you’re okay, hun.

Me: Heh. Nah, that’s for next week. *I joke a bit with Trix, indicating to her and Prettywitch that I’ll be fine. I look at both of them.* Nice new robes. Seriously, they’re freaking magnificent!

Prettywitch: I know, right!? I can’t wait to see you in your new ones when you get better.

Trix: Yeah, did you get to see yours yet?

Me: Not yet. I kinda passed out after a while. Can’t move too much yet either. The box is on the nightstand next to my bed.

Stephen: Your stamina should be recovered enough from that rest to have another healing session done. After that, you should be in decent enough shape to get up and move around again. I’d still avoid anything strenuous for a week, but otherwise, it looks like you’ll be okay with a few more sessions throughout this recovery period. Prettywitch, could you go get her robes from her room while I make sure the healing session goes well?

Prettywitch: You got it! (She runs off.)

Trix: I don’t want to be in the way while you finish up. I’ll be out waiting with Wong in the courtyard!

Me: See you guys in a few moments.

Prettywitch: (She comes back and holds the robes out to Steward.) Here you go, love.

Me: Thank you! I’ll meet you in the courtyard after I change. *I give her a small smile as I accept the ornate box of robes.*

*Trix heads out to the courtyard and finds Wong waiting by himself.*

Wong: At least Steward seems to be taking this in stride. That is a good sign. I lectured Strange about his oversight during her Trial earlier.

Trix: True. A lot better than last time…probably because it was killed this time around. And that is absolutely not surprising. Honestly, you were very subtle about keeping an eye on me. If I hadn’t found out at the end the way you revealed yourself, I wouldn’t have guessed. If Stephen didn’t remember someone watching him I could see the oversight happening. *She’s trying to rationalize it because she knows it absolutely wasn’t Stephen’s intention for this to happen.*

Wong: His Master’s Trial was…different. When the Ancient One died, it was in the midst of Kaecillius’ uprising. When his Zealots killed Master Drumm in the New York Sanctum and Stephen acted to defend it AND our dimension from the Dread Dormammu, he had earned his title. It was a trial by fire, so to speak.

Trix (shocked): Oh. Yeah. I hadn’t realized that that ended up being his trial… *She looks down before looking over at Wong.* I don’t think it would be a good idea to show Stephen because it might bring up trauma, but I think someday you should take a look at our movies about this universe. It may…help with clarification of things for the Kamar-Taj records at least in the general sense since it’s not a one for one but seems to follow similar lines. *She has a small smile and fidgets with her hands.* At least, I’m trying to figure out how to go about this from a future librarian sort of view.

*Wong listens to her and nods.*

Wong: I will take a look when I have time.

Trix: I had some questions for you as well, if you don’t mind me asking.

Wong: Very well. Ask.

Trix: Just- how do you do it? Manage to keep calm all the time and sort of be this…pillar that keeps everything upright? I know it’s likely going to be me who ends up needing to be the one holding down the fort while the others go out on missions, but I honestly don’t know if I can manage that without breaking down myself. I almost lost myself from caretaking for years and while I’m excited, I’m also terrified about setting this up in our own world.

*Wong thinks about this for a bit before answering.*

Wong: Well, one of the more important things to remember is that everyone has their limits. So, keeping this in mind, I don’t necessarily do everything myself. I delegate. Remember how I had you sorting the shelves, doing basic repairs, and cleaning during training?

*She nods.*

Wong: I know that I need help. So, I use the community that I am a part of and have a team of my own to help me keep things in order. I do most of the more complex tasks myself, but when I need to, I ask one of the other Masters for assistance. We sorcerers, although individuals, still work as a cohesive unit. We have each others’ backs. I also take care to help others when they need it. With all of us working together with our own niches and subsections, we are able to work fairly efficiently. Then, I make sure to take some time for myself. At least an hour every day where I relax my mind and take care of my own needs. It does not always happen, especially during the more intense periods we sometimes deal with, but whenever I do have a chance, I take it. It is good to clear your mind from time to time.

*Trix chuckles softly herself.*

Trix: I guess I’m just so used to ending up by myself again that it didn’t occur to me to ask for help from the others. It’s why I’m a bit clingy, I end up by myself eventually through one way or another and it’s kinda messed with me. I do have a feeling that this is going to stick though, even if I am cautious to get my hopes up. It’s just something I have to meditate more on I guess. *She shrugs with a wry smile.* Thanks for always listening to me. I haven’t felt as…free to speak my thoughts and not be my people personality self as much. I can relax. I’m nearly there with PrettyWitch and Steward but that anxiety just… *She trails off.*

Wong (gently): It will come with time. *He reassures her.* As for being left alone again, it is highly unlikely now. With the challenges your world faces, sticking together is a matter of survival. You will need each other. That much, I am certain of.

Trix (smiling): True. And you’re stuck with me now. You hugged me back after the trials, that’s no take-backsies.

*Wong curls his lip, amused.*

*After a moment, I finally walk out of sickbay. I’m a bit stiff and slower since the injuries are still healing, but I’m able to move around now. Prettywitch had given me my robes so I could change. So, now I’m wearing them properly. They’re predominantly indigo with tan and magenta trim. The patterning across the front clasps of my robes makes up the symbol of the Third Eye chakra. Other more subtle patterns present within the trim on my robes consist of the Endless Knot and the Ankh. These small details are found in the embroidery making up the hems of the robes.*

Me (smiling): So, how do I look?

Trix (grinning): Like a proper Master of the Mystic Arts, so gorgeous!

Prettywitch: I know! (She’s trying not to squee.)

Me (smirking): You’re not so bad yourselves. *I’m teasing a bit.* Seriously, though. You both look majestic as hell. *I’m sincere about the last part.*

Trix: We’re going to rock the hell out of our world once we start setting up our Order, that’s for sure. *She smiles softly.* The group of us.

Me: Yes. Yes, we are. *I offer Trix a high-five, but then flinch and put my hand back down awkwardly.* Right! Dumb! *I chuckle morbidly to mask the pain since I just did a stupid move.*

*Trix shoulder bumps her gently instead before doing the same to PrettyWitch.*

*Prettywitch laughs awkwardly and holds her hand out for Trix to high-five her. Trix returns the high-five.*

*Stephen comes out of sickbay, having sorted things out.*

Stephen (warmly): Nicely done, girls. You three look magnificent.

PrettyWitch: Thanks!

Trix: Thank you!

Me: Thanks!

Stephen: How about a celebration dinner? You three can choose a place.

*Wong nods approvingly.*

*As they work on a decision, Clea portals into the courtyard. She’s carrying several shopping bags and a few books Stephen recognizes from his Sanctum Library.*

Clea: Hello everyone. (She notices the girl’s outfits.) What’s the occasion?

Stephen: The girls just earned their Master ranks. *He can’t help but be proud as he says this. It’s obvious in his face and voice.*

Clea: *She smiles brightly.* Oh, that’s wonderful! Congratulations, girls!

Trix: Thank you Clea!

Me: Awww, thank you, Clea!

Prettywitch: *She blushes awkwardly.* Awe! Thanks, Clea.

Clea: Don’t mention it.

*A pillar of green smoke appears as Loki arrives in his usual fashion. His eyebrow raises at our change in attire.*

Loki: I suppose I should be congratulating you all. Congratulations on your masteries, ladies.

Trix: Thanks Loki!

Me: Thank you, Loki. *I give him a small smile.*

Prettywitch: Yeah, thanks.

Wong: I take it you sensed a shift in Trix’s aura?

Loki (smirking): Absolutely. *He eyes her robes before grinning widely* I also must commend the choice of robes. One befitting a ward of a god. *He sniffs haughtily before breaking into a laugh. He’s clearly delighted.*

Trix (slightly embarassed): You’re just happy you’re being represented.

*Loki shrugs before turning to Steward and PrettyWitch.*

Loki: Both of you wear your talents well. You will have to regale me with the tale of your trials since I will be joining your celebrations.

*I smile at Loki before letting out a small squawk, remembering something.*

Me: Ack! I promised to free the ghosts with me. Just a sec, guys…Lemme take care of this before we go.

*I center myself before opening a portal with blue sparks. This is the first time Trix and Prettywitch have ever seen this portal to the afterlife in-person. Interestingly, whatever’s on the other side of the portal isn’t properly visible. It just looks like an opening with a rippling veil across it.*

Me (to seemingly nobody): Okay. Those who wish to move on, please step forward. Anyone who isn’t ready yet, stay put. *I wait for a minute before slipping briefly into a meditative state. After the outbound spirits and I mutually sever our bond, I gesture to them to indicate that they’re free to go.* Thank you for all of your help earlier. Goodbye and may you all enjoy a restful existence in the afterlife.

*Those who leave, depart. The only indication to the living that something has gone is a subtle change in temperature and the veil within the portal shifting wildly, as though in a high wind. After a moment, the veil settles back down and I close the portal. I inhale and then shudder involuntarily. It feels as though my energy has become slightly stronger. Also, there are now a few small balls of fiery blue light drifting lazily around me.*

Me (calmly): Okay. It’s done. A few chose to stay, including The Ancient One. So, where would we like to go?

Trix: I’m fine going anywhere really.

Prettywitch: Ooooh!!!! Why don’t we go to The Olive Garden!? Or Famous Daves!? *She’s practically salivating.*

Trix: I vote Olive Garden!

Me: All right. *I’m hungry from the healing sessions and exertion due to sending the outbound spirits away. So, I’m fine with anything.*

Stephen: Okay. I’ll get us there. *We portal to the front of the restaurant. Wong goes to get us a table.*

Clea: *She notices the decor inside.* Hmmm…This place seems slightly upscale. *She snaps her fingers and her clothes change to reflect the casual dress environment of everyone there. She’s wearing a low cut, purple top with a nice pair of jeans. She smiles.* Much better.

*Stephen is subtly looking Clea up and down after her outfit change. It seems she has his interest. Wong smirks at him, making Stephen blush slightly.*

Loki (slightly confused): I thought we were going to a garden of olives.

Me: It’s Italian. *I shrug nonchalantly*

Trix: Just keep eating breadsticks and you’re golden.

*We’re seated and as we have dinner, we catch Loki and Clea up with what went on during our Trials.*

Loki: Tell me, what was the hardest part of each of your trials?

Clea: Oh yes! I’m dying to know, myself!

Trix: Probably staying focused during mine. The book I was cleansing kept trying to corrupt my thoughts but apparently everyone here has helped me finally get past enough of my self-doubts to get through it. *She smiles softly.*

*I gently pat Trix’s back, clearly proud of her.*

Prettywitch: Mine was pretty straight forward. I had to outwit a certain Ghost Dog.

Trix: Are you telling me…you got to meet Bats?! *She’s both excited and jealous.*

Prettywitch: Oh yeah! And let me tell you, he’s a bit of a smartass. Anyway, after that my biggest challenge was having you expand my range of magic. I’d been performing magic using a lot of what I’d seen in anime and manga I like, as well as comics, and…well, I had to start thinking outside the box. So I took inspiration from some of my own unpublished works. *She smiles.* And it felt really good doing that, actually.

Wong: Good. It’s about time that you learned to act as yourself. *He’s happy about this, although it’s as subtle as he always is.*

Prettywitch: Thanks, Wong.

Trix: I’m super excited to see what spells you came up with!

Me: *Grinning, amused.* Really? Nice! Trix and I will have to find and talk to Bats later, then! Also, whoo! Good job, Prettywitch! I can’t wait to see some of your new spells! *I’m both excited to meet Bats and proud of Prettywitch. Then, go back to Loki’s question.* Anyway, my Trial started out fairly straightforward, but there was a bit of an accident. It wasn’t Stephen’s fault at all, but a soul eater showed up and I had to borrow the energy from over 50 spirits who had decided to follow me so I could boost my abilities enough to dispatch it. Was still a close call…I’ve faced one before and it really messed Tear and me up, but I suppose the reason this one wasn’t as bad was that not only did I have help from the spirits and Stephen’s original mentor, but I had grown stronger with training and had more of idea of what I was doing. We’ve seen and been through so much together that it just kinda became yet another thing to deal with instead of a huge unbeatable threat. Still terrifying, but I knew I had a way out if I couldn’t handle it. We didn’t have the luxury of expending more magical energy for portals in our world the first time. So, with all of these factors, it just sorta…clicked.

*Stephen squeezes my shoulder gently. He’s still just relieved that I’m okay.*

Loki (impressed): A soul eater is not one to trifle with. Very well done. *He looks at all of us proudly.* You’ve clearly all earned your masteries well…and now we can easily bail you out of Kamar-Taj without lessons being an excuse. *He grins.*

*Stephen raises an eyebrow. He still wants to keep an eye on us just in case for obvious reasons.*

Clea: I must say, all of your trials are fascinating. You overcame difficult odds and came out of it stronger; I’m sure you’ll all make wonderful masters back home.

Prettywitch: Oh, you’re just saying that!

Clea: No, not at all. Stephen and Wong should be proud they’ve trained such fine girls as yourself.

Prettywitch: Awe! *She gives her a small hug.* Thank you.

*Clea accepts the hug, albeit awkwardly.*

*I’m slightly red, but happy.*

*The rest of the meal goes well and we all enjoy some quality time together. When it’s over, we head back to Kamar-Taj. Stephen bids us a fond goodnight and after we go to our quarters he walks off, subtly gesturing for Clea to follow him. He leads her to a nice, secluded area of the temple. The architecture here is beautiful and the lighting is warm and inviting.*

Clea: You wanted to see me?

Stephen (awkwardly): Over the past few months since you’ve arrived and gotten acclimated here, I’ve come to know you. Your company is appreciated and since we have befriended one another, I was just wondering if…Well…ehhhhh…Perhaps you may consider a…date? I’m not sure how fond you are of me now that you’ve been in close proximity for an extended amount of time, but-

Clea: *She cuts him off by cupping his face in her hands and kissing him passionately. When she breaks the kiss and sees his shocked face, she’s a bit nervous, but keeps it to herself and gives him a playful smile.* Does that answer your question?

*Stephen is breathless and as red as his Cloak now. After a second, he composes himself.*

Stephen: I…I like you too.

*Clea smiles.*

Clea: So…did you have something in mind for our date?

Stephen: Well, there are all of those movies the girls introduced me to…Perhaps you may like to see one tonight?

Clea: I’d love to.

*Stephen smiles and picks a movie, inviting her to one of the empty rooms so they can watch in peace. As the movie goes, at times, Stephen is quietly more interested in Clea and her reactions to the film than in the movie itself.*

*Clea begins to notice this.*

Clea: What are you looking at? *Her tone is playful when she asks that.*

Stephen (slightly flustered): It’s just fun to see your reactions, that’s all.

Clea: *Giggles* Guess we have that in common, huh?

*He smiles, blushing. He’s finding it difficult to articulate himself.*

Clea: *She leans.* What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?

Stephen: Ehhhhh…*He’s getting more flustered*

Clea: *Giggles.* I like seeing this side of you, it’s so cute.

Stephen (awkwardly): Want to finish the movie or…?

Clea: *She kisses him again. Only this time she deepens it; she wraps her arms around his neck and runs her fingers through his hair.*

*He lets her and kisses her back, the movie entirely forgotten. The rest of the night passes.*
