The Trix in season two are my favorite thing ever to talk about because, really, I've always claimed their story arc in that season isn't so much about working for Darkar as it is about the raging Cold War going on between the three of them. The loss of the Dragon Flame and the defeat in the Battle of Magix really took a toll on the Trix and the strength of their coven bond, and I think it's so interesting how tense the dynamics between them are in S2.

To really highlight this, I want to preface by discussing a little bit about their bond in S1. In S1, nothing ever takes precedence over the coven bond and the pursuit of the Dragon Flame. When Musa is spying on Darcy, Icy and Stormy's primary reason for sending the witches after her is pure loyalty to their coven sister. The three of them are very different people, but despite this, they always work as a group — each a piece of unity, their differences completing one another like pieces of a puzzle. Another crucial highlight of their bond is when Darcy's genuine interest in Riven takes a back seat as she ultimately prioritizes loyalty to her sisters. This choice underscores the unbreakable connection the sisters share, where their allegiance to each other prevails over personal desires. This loyalty serves as a cornerstone of their unshakable coven bond. After their defeat in S1, all three of them are much more willing to turn on one another for individual gain. They no longer work as "one" like before.

Now, let's delve into how tense things are between them in S2. I think it's fair to assume that they all blame each other for the loss and ending up in Light Rock. They're so willing to trust Darkar when he shows up, immediately trusting him more than each other for the whole season (initially because they want to get out of Light Rock, obviously, but they choose to stay with him and trust his judgment out of free will). They bicker so much, and at several points in the season, it feels like the Trix are on the verge of turning on one another completely. They consistently criticize one another and only see the flaws in each other's strengths, constantly pushing each other's buttons. The "puzzle" I mentioned earlier is in total disarray; instead, their opposing natures seem to push them toward self-destruction.

Exhibition A: Stormy getting annoyed at Darcy being focused on strategy and calculation:

Exhibition B: Icy and Darcy getting annoyed at Stormy's impulsivity:

Exhibition C: Icy and Darcy taking jabs at each other:

The Trix seem to come to a realization about how weakened their coven is at the end of S2 as they see Darkar for who he really is. I personally think that the reason they were such easy targets for Darkar to manipulate as his pawns was mainly because they were so busy distrusting each other that they never stopped to see that the true enemy was right under their noses. I believe the Megatrix is a pretty fitting (and quite literal) representation of their journey back to unity as a coven.

A Winx Club redraw that I did a little while ago. Kinda happy with this experiment ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

Original image ofc

[taiyoooh]

It almost took an entire year, but here's a more refined Trix redesign. The big thing I wanted to do with them was to make their Initials more incorporated into the designs than just plastering it as a belt buckle to make them less uniform but still have a common element. This has the added benefit of making Beatrix's poser B funnier.

Icy's jacket is for the most part plain on the back, but hides her origins that she'll reveal later on with magic.

Trix redesign / headcanons

Winx redesign/headcanons

I didn't expect so many people to like my Winx redesigns, so here's Trix!

This time I'll be sharing more headcanon stuff:

Icy:

≈17 y.o.I don't like her canon character because... she's just evil because she has to be, nothing interesting. So in my headcanons, she's a cross between Musashi/Jessie from Pokemon and the Queen from Deltarune. And, I'm shipping her with Bloom because "enemies to lovers" is my everything. I hardly changed the design. She is perfect 😶.Let's to next one.

Darcy

≈19y.o. (Eldest of the group) When I was a kid I thought Darcy and Stella were sisters(idk why). AND THIS IS JUST A GORGEOUS HEADCANNON NOW! Like: Darcy abdicated the throne to study dark magic and live a quiet life somewhere far from Solaria, and her younger sister to handle with everything (+ another one trauma for Stella) (And of course dark/light motive)As manipulative as always. This is probably the only exception from all Trix when I like the personality from the series.

Stormy

≈17y.o. (older than Icy by 3 months) In the series, she is just... nothing. She was almost never given any normal time apart from the other Trix. So I radically changed it both externally and internally. I gave her the personality of Floyd from the game Twisted wonderland. And one more thing - hair. Stormy's hair now changes according to her mood (White and fluffy - good mood, Gray or dark purple - anger) (like clouds)

And one more note! Icy had a pet duck. I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT, BUT. GUYS. THIS. This is what I need. Just a proud duck mom Icy.

the trix and driving hcs

To make this short, Icy and Stormy are a mess. Fck traffic laws, Icy would never yield right out of way because she's a goddamn queen. Stormy just enjoys speed and therefore doesn't look left or right before driving. That's why Darcy always screams at every occasion I DRIVE

Darcy: Stormy, you just drove through a red light!

Stormy: It would've switched to green the next second, chill bitch

[charmixpower]

Hiiii I did a art trade with @wtfastaroth and @witch-ix of the Trix! I sketched Stormy, lined Darcy, and colored Icy here!

We did a three artists three bases art meme as seen here:

I had a lot of fun doing this! Got me thinking about the Trix, I'll have to properly redesign them soon!

Here is my sketch and lineart!

And here is every one's parts!

Check out @wtfastaroth (Carla) and @witch-ix (Sia) for their halfs of the collab!

[cherry-illustrations]

Work in progress, idk I feel like that idea looked better in my head. A redraw of one of my favourite childhood series again :)

[taiyoooh]

I didn't think about redesigning the Trix until I thought of Icy wearing a coat as a cape. Icy is supposed to be imperial vibes, Darcy has modern goth witch vibes, and Stormy takes partially from X-men. Of course they still have their initials, just slightly more subtle. I'll probably get back to them in a year haha.

Hey I wanted know about your version of the ancestral and to know the timeline of when they destroyed domino

Hi, @seth-the-whalelord, i am sorry because oh gosh i have a LOT to say and you prompting this means im not gonna be able to think of anything else ahhhh. OK so like. lets ignore how in general the timeline is really fucked up (flashbacks with the company of light and Griffin and Faragonda's relative ages are very confusing) but lets just ASSUME, path of least confusion that Domino got iced exactly as many years ago as is appropriate based on Bloom's age (I actually haven't decided if i's scaling the girls ages up slightly yet.) So basically it got destroyed when Bloom (and all her other peers in her age range here) were babies. That’s a BIG event to happen in relatively RECENT HISTORY and I have issues about how I want to make it clear that this is an event that has affected basically every world in the magical universe. BUT LETS PUT THAT ASIDE LETS TALK ABOUT THE WITCHES.

So my issue is the Ancestral Witches are meant to be these, hugely ancient beings formed at the beginning of the universe. But, they never… felt…. That cool to me? They’ve existed for all of time but it took them literally until what 15-18 years ago to get at the Dragon Flame? Despite the fact that it seems like pretty common knowledge where it is?? And the fact that they later named them and then the backstory with Griffin working with them and Valtor… that was before they got banished so to me it seems like they shouldn’t need the proxy of someone working on their behalf, like they do when they’re guiding the Trix… That feels to me like big powerful witches and villainesses and definitely big bad material but not like the unspeakable ancient things that I imagine when you say OLD AS TIME ELEMENTAL EVIL, you know?

Another thing: Arcadia. We have a direct counterpoint to “the first witches” in “the first Fairy who flew”. I actually like how vague her existence is and how strange and uncanny she looks. She almost comes across as a minor goddess, or someone who has basically ascended to demigod hood. I think one of the reasons I like her vibe over the ancestral witches is… she seems so… separate from reality and above what’s going on in the mortal planes. She waits for the Winx to come to her, instead of meddling/ the AW are pretty much exclusively into getting the trix to meddle for them. Or building a boy (Valtor) to do stuff for them. Idk. That said im actually not how im handling Arcadia or the existence of the water stars at all im just thinking ab the contrast of how they’re presented. Basically even when they’re spooky shadowy crone figures the witches strike me as beings of the material rather than an old-as-time type set of entities.

Anyway making the first witches these ‘’’’first creatures of evil’’’’ really fucks with the limp ‘well, not ALL witches are evil’ assertion that the show tries to make (but also doesn’t remember half the time). Like, that can definitely be the NARRATIVE that gets pushed, and I do think that the Ancestral witches themselves should be properly evil big bads, but you can’t build the worlds universe on ‘witches were invented to be evil, and fairies are meant to good’ and then benignly go ‘oh not realllyyyyy. I mean MOSTLY but not really. You know. Not the 2 witches we like (one of whom becomes a fairy)’. That can be the story a lot of people believe, but you cannot build it into the literal history of your world setting and then turn around and ask the audience to think otherwise.

I think what makes most sense to me is that Belladonna, Liliss, and Tharma are the names of the last INCARNATIONS of the Ancestral Witches but not the original/actual identities.

I think they were just witches once. Not quite from the beginning of time but from a long, long, long time ago. They had names no one remembers anymore, and names before that. They were witches who garnered such power that they wrote their identities into the flow of magic itself, who unmoored their spirits from their selves so that when they died they did not truly die. Basically, they’re Liches. I like the idea of the Witches recurring in history, reappearing as different women across the eons as their spirits find new lives to subsume. It’s not a bloodline (even though the trix call themselves the AW’s ‘direct descendants’ - unless Belladonna, Liliss and Tharma all fucked and had children, and each of the girls could directly trace their ancestry back to them… first of all why, how, wouldn’t families keep that an awful secret because presumably being related to the people who tried to kill dragon god and nuked the fairy Vatican would make their lives DIFFICULT - despite that language I always assumed they were kind of styling themselves as spiritual successors (which.. might be the literal opposite of ’direct descendant’ but what can I say that’s the vibe I always got) I think, in my version of things, they’re… sort of like their successors. ( I have them style themselves as Inheritrix - Hence, Trix) but well, really the Trix are really more like… Vessels. Or, they will be, when they’re strong enough.

One of the big reasons Witches are looked down on is that there’s this pervasive cultural sentiment that they’re greedy and power-hungry. They Want what they don’t Have, they will Take what Is Not Theirs. This has a little bit to do with the way I conceive of the concept of positive or negative magic - not dark and light but more like electric charges or polarity. Fairies (+) generate magic, and Witches (-) absorb magic from outside sources. I think there’s actually a very important place for Witches in the magic ecosystem, and both fairies and witches have a part to play in keeping balance. The ancestral witches represent the worst extreme of witch dysfunction. They take so much that they cling onto life, stealing the lives of other witches through generations. They refuse to be swept away through the river of time, to return to the flow of Magic, to take their part in the cycle.
