#dark w.i.t.c.h

[itarile-1]

Happy Valentine's Day! A dark fic for today's Ship Sailing Event in Cedric's Screaming Closet discord server.  Inspired by w.i.t.c.h 12 issue. What if Phobos turned Cedric into the Whisperer. Let's be honest, their relationship is toxic I just took it to the next level. Cedric/Phobos :D

i stand by my childhood self getting mad about Cedric from w.i.t.c.h. dying, bc i was rooting for him to get his scheming shit together and make it thru the redemption arc, emerging as a better guy, and maybe even for him and Orube to start dating fr. i get that the main girls needed some headquarters but he should have respeced into the Villain Turned Weird Friend / Domesticated Villain bracket. he would have let the girls have a club in the basement as long as they don't interrupt his bidding war on ebay for a snakeskin-wrapped antique tome and antique murano glass roses.

Ok just a few days ago my mind shifted from work to evil W.I.T.C.H. AU and thinking what kind of evil would the girls be, so i need to share, behold my musings:

I have two versions for Will, sry she's my favourit girl.

She would be evil like Anakin Skywalker, bc her greatest weakness is the fear of loss and fear of her own power (Anakin is a bit more self-assured, that's truth..), doing horrendous stuff out of fear of losing her close ones to betrayal or death, till she loses them truly, because she does the horrendous stuff and then it is already too late and she's filled with furry and pain and feels betrayed. / OR she would just get fed up with all that is demanded from her, with the weight of the Heart and everything, and she would not be able to bear her burden - then she would turn entirely dark, not from powerhunger, but from deep breach (i also like the word breach) of her soul caused by the weight. So she would be like responsibility my ass, but she would never be a happy villain, rather a broken one. And when it happens everyone is like oh shit, because she has a crazy power. (Thinking about that how the hell did they actually take the Heart from Nerissa..?)

Irma would be this sassy evil bitch that makes fun of you as you are in chains and destroys your conscience before destroying the rest of you. She's got a few very close friends, with whom she regularly does evil and who she protects intensely. She has a lot of fun. She might not even have a backstory of becoming evil, just being so, having this aspect, but if she does, it would be something about just doing whatever for her friends, whom she sort of serves, trusting them, choosing, without question, friendship and love over any sense of general justice.

Taranee would be the quiet evil person with a partly sobby backstory of needing to stand her ground and fight for herself, which led her to casting aside any regard for the lives of others, cause the world failed her and she couldn't be bothered (kind of Magneto). She would make surprisingly cold decisions, until anyone steps over the grounds of her free will - she would roast them. She feels a singular fondness for someone from her past, like her brother or maybe one of the Guardians (Will maybe), but she does not share it.

Cornelia would be the dark queen, powerful and encouraging mad devotion, speaking and acting coldly, then letting you fall through an abyss just by waving her hand, with a violently dark anger that is apparent in her face, although it seems she has not moved a single muscle. She feels rightful in her destructive love, but a certain specific love for a good sistergirl might turn her. Maybe like Galadriel's potential herself had she accepted the One Ring from Frodo, only without those weird effects.

Hay Lin would be maniacal evil - a pure chaos, someone not really aware of bad or good, someone who only fleets through the world as a dark fairy and does evil, because it is fun, and who wouldn't do something so fun as hanging a person on a tree easily cause you can fly. She looks and acts cute, and the creepier is her big power and the way she uses it. She used to be a very sensitive caring person, but a great loss of everything she had, loved ones and sense in life included, turned her mind into one without any feeling, principles, or sense, or attention span.

So... my rant over.. thoughts? other suggestions?

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.

Latest Shadowhunter head canons you got going for you? What are they doing? What’s their fav tv shows, movies, books they are reading? and then…

what have YOU been reading,enjoying, consuming in terms of media in the interim of SH releases? :))

i’ve been watching w.i.t.c.h bc it’s a show i used to love when i was a kid and it’s so so good and made me think that kit would definitely enjoy it! like he’d find it so fun - the humour, the cool outfits, the magic powers and evil rulers of kingdoms, yeah i think kit would have a blast with w.i.t.c.h (plus ik he probably loves watching cartoons <3)!

i also think kit got ty hooked on pjo and they’re reading the series together! and when they get to hoo, kit will certainly try to force ty into cosplaying nico and will with him, and it will be the greatest thing to ever exist i’m telling u… let that sink in

Ostara Irel Escanor

Mother Chimeris. Her story has already been mentioned in this post: https://www.tumblr.com/rinfarts/724924361270804480/chimeris-ostara-escanor-15-years-old-at-that

Now I’ll just try to complement it. (English is not my native language, so there may be mistakes. Please be understanding)

The king and the people of Orlandor weren't supposed to find out the truth about how bad things were in the neighboring kingdom. Otherwise, Giran himself would have begun to dictate terms to Meridian, not caring about the wishes of his “wife.”

No, it was clear that a disease was raging there. But only a few dared to check the scale of the epidemic. No one tried to become infected and bring the infection to their native lands. Therefore, when the Meridian Elders took Chimeris away, Ostara began simulating an accident.

A couple of days later, sad news came to the king from the far side of the palace. His daughter fell off a horse during a walk, breaking her head. The doctors couldn't do anything. He was more angry than sad. However, Giran had not expected anything good from this part of the family for a long time.

He formally attended the funeral, already thinking about how many weeks later it wouldn't be shameful to send his grief-stricken mother to some monastery. He did not recheck the circumstances of the tragedy in detail. In his understanding, it was unprofitable for Ostara to lose Chimeris, because at least some of the lady’s well-being rested on their common child. __________________________

It should be noted that even before this whole situation, the woman was looking for ways to prosperity. She couldn’t count on a lucky break (if the death of a quarter of the population and almost the entire ruling family of Meridian can be called such). Ostara established connections with her “husband’s” brother, Duke Cotul.

At one time, he lost in the race for the throne due to the fact that he had weaker magic than Giran. But over the years he made up for it with charisma and a sharp mind. Step by step, the Duke gained new supporters, approaching the coveted crown. Giran saw this, but there was little he could do.

Communication with Ostara, on the one hand, entertained the man quite well (few people in the palace could joke sarcastically with him on equal terms), on the other hand, it made him very nervous. She persistently promoted her interests, although in fact she possessed nothing other than magical abilities and ancient blood. And she refused to strengthen their secret agreements through Chimeris.

The girl was interesting to Kotul:

1) Like a sorceress. He was still vulnerable to losing his magic like other Metamurian men who possessed it. And he was looking for not very powerful partners with whom he could agree on an exchange of mana.

2) Like an alchemist. It was through the Duke that Ostara obtained many instruments for her daughter so that she could develop her skills. So, unlike many, he knew about these abilities and even requested some elixirs.

3) As entertainment. Yes, she is his niece. What do you want from medieval morals? Giran had a bunch of other daughters - older, more beautiful and more beloved. With the support of local aristocratic families. So the marriage of Chimeris has not even been discussed yet.

Kotul at one time offered his brother a ransom for her. But he, out of inherent harmfulness, set the price at such a price that it was comparable to the budget of a prosperous province. The Duke gritted his teeth, decided that the game was not worth the candle and went to negotiate through Ostara. For her own reasons, she, too, was not enthusiastic and was stalling for time, but at least she maintained the appearance that she did not see anyone other than a “dear friend” as her son-in-law.

She did not even tell the Duke the truth about Chimeris. For Ostara, Kotul was a valuable (in the absence of others) ally, but not a person worthy of trust. So he really considered the girl dead.

The Duke expressed much more sincere condolences than Giran, promised to help Ostara if anything happened, and went to get rid of heavy thoughts in the company of his concubines. __________________________ A little later, the king was overthrown and killed. Almost no one knew the details. But Kotul, as the new ruler, suited many residents so much that they did not want to find out the details. Only Ostara, who weakened her “husband” with a curse in time, was more or less aware of what was happening.

The new king significantly thinned out the family, getting rid of all the heirs and heiresses who could pose at least some danger.

And a few months later, wonderful news came from the healed Meridian. That Princess Chimeris, who died in Orlandor, ascended the throne as queen and the new heart of the world.

The Duke was furious. Ostara not only violated their old agreements by independently changing her daughter’s fate, but also made him look like a fool. This undermined trust between the allies. After all, if she hid such a “trifle” from him, what was stopping her from starting a major adventure behind her back again?

In addition, Ostara essentially prevented Orlandor from absorbing its weakened neighbor. If the Elders had to negotiate with Giran or Kotul, the conditions for Meridian would not be at all enviable.

Ostara was angry too. The daughter should have taken her out of this “hole” even before her coronation. And now she stubbornly did not answer letters. From the moment the deception became known, Kotul took the lady into custody, so she could no longer go home secretly. The news of Chimeris's accession took her no less than the Duke by surprise. Until the very end, she counted on the position of regent in her native kingdom.

While sorting through the papers left by his brother, Kotul came across correspondence with the monastery. Giran really hoped to get rid of his “wife” in this way. Now this idea seemed interesting to the Duke. True, he decided to choose another temple - dedicated to the element of Light. Being in which for Ostara, who possesses dark magic, would be akin to torture.

Soon the woman was tonsured a nun (although she honestly tried to knock out the abbot's eyes with tonsure scissors). Neither the joyless life of the monastery, nor the influence of the opposing elements pleased her. Ostara tried to contact her daughter several times, but never received a response. The lady remained in the dark until the end of her life: whether Chimeris betrayed her, or whether the letters were intercepted by a third party. A few years later the woman died. __________________________

The story of Chimeris (if anyone is suddenly interested) : https://ficbook.net/readfic/13293038 __________________________ 

I'll say a few words about Ostara's design.

I belatedly realized that this art would be difficult to use as a reference. Due to the specific lighting, everything seems darker than it really is. According to the original idea, Ostara has ash blonde and light skin.

Blue and brown are the generic colors of Orlandor (which was already seen in the art with the teenage Chimeris). Ostara got darker, richer shades to match her character.

The lady wore outfits of this color scheme forcedly. In her native lands, she preferred gold and black.

I wanted to portray her as dangerous, powerful. Give pointed features. Plus emphasize belonging to the vector of Darkness. The shadows behind the back and the silhouette of a bird separating from them (s - symbolism) are manifestations of Ostara’s magic. Scourges woven from darkness are capable of wounding no worse than steel.

However, the lady specialized more not in direct battles, but in weaving intrigues. Which was greatly facilitated by the other side of her gift - the curse. In theory, any sorcerers can resort to them, but only the dark ones are capable of so skillfully placing and removing the ligature of curses from a person.

Partly this feature saved her when the werewolf child was born. Ostara limited the girl's abilities with curses so that she would not transform in front of witnesses, which would be difficult to get rid of.

With the advent of Chimeris, a lot has changed in her life. All their actions had to be carefully calculated in order to keep the secret and their lives intact. Everything was complicated by the fact that it was difficult for the child to convey some things visually. So Ostara looked for any opportunity to explain to Chimeris HOW the surrounding people and galhots treated werewolves.

On the main square of the capital, executions of those considered werewolves took place from time to time. The wounded victims were pushed onto the platform amid the joyful and angry screams of the crowd. Sometimes an different nature was actually noticeable in them - the converts had little control over their bodies, becoming covered in fur or scales. But more often they looked like people. Perhaps some of them were even tried in vain. But the ax of the executioner in any case looked frighteningly inevitable. At the instigation of Ostara, Chimeris attended such executions from early childhood.

This also served another purpose - to demonstrate as much as possible that their side of the family was NOT sympathetic to werewolves. Has nothing in common with them. The lady even got a skillful imitation of jewelry for werewolf fangs (the budget would not have been enough for the original) - the latest in fashion among Orlandor beauties. This is the set shown in the picture.

I love how Icy really spits the words "Daphne had to spoil everything" in the German dub. Like "Ughh your goddamn stupid sis had to SPOIL everything! Ehhm hello?? how DARE she?" and i am too... yeah, how dare she!

imagine, how interesting winx could have been if the ancestral witches had won the battle of Domino. The whole dimension would have been under their rule. And maybe some rebels would turn against them. But the witches knew, they had to find the source of power - bloom and get her back to get all of her powers. sounds familiar? Well, that's basically what W.i.t.c.h. did. 🤣

But just imagine! The company of light could have played a way bigger role! And the Trix would have been raised to be heirs to the ancestral witches and might have wanted to overthrow them at some point. And then there was the race against time between good and evil who would find bloom first. And when we're already talking about W.i.t.c.h. - a group of young fairies find her first by accident - they later form the Winx. And they become friends but they don't tell Bloom anything to not put her in danger and then the ancestral witches find her and, like Phobos and Cedric did with Elyon, convince her, that her friends betrayed her.... yeah forget it, that would totally be the W.i.t.c.h. plot. 😂
