Thank you for your continued effort to spread awareness of Darcy's very, very green hair! XD

How about 12, 17 and 22 for the ask game?

aww thank you, always at your service <3

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

Definitely Sky and Riven. I liked Riven since my childhood because I was the good girl and am therefore a victim for the bad boys. The fandom either loves or hates him I guess. But the haters tend to forget, that he had his character arc he went through. Riven acknowledged that he made mistakes and this is a very rare kind of reflection we don't see much in Winx. Sky on the other hand was designed to be the perfect boyfriend. He is the prince, the hero. But also the male-wife when compared to Bloom's strong dragon flame powers. He is kind and strong and always there to help his friends and I think the fandom oversees this fact! I mean, I did too for a long time. My favourite specialist had always been Brandon when I was a kid and I didn't find Sky that appealing. I just felt sorry for him, when Bloom had her Avalon hype in season 2. As for now, he grew on me. Now that I'm older I see him more as a character while in my childhood he was simply Bloom's boyfriend. He could be so much complexer if the writing was better. And now since I ship him with Icy...there is so much in him that's interesting! (thanks to @evdizav for introducing me to that ship!). Unfortunately, the series reduces him in the later seasons totally to Bloom's boyfriend and a lot of his traits from the earlier seasons got lost. But in the end, I really like him now. He is not flawless. He treats Bloom pretty badly in s1 because of reasons and they had a long way to go. And yes, I don't ship skloom, but there was a development they had. And both of their characters grew in this relationship! I think Sky even more than Bloom. After all he could save Bloom from Darkar's spell while Bloom could not save him from Valtor's spell...well well...

Winx Club Season 8/12

In which Valtor finally gets his villain on! (eventually)

12 Surprise Party on Earth

We open with some more nice wide shots of Valtor’s asteroid. Our villain is in a thoughtful mood, which I’d screencap for you if my program did caps. He also seems to be wearing purple eyeshadow, which continues to prove my point that eye makeup = evil in the Winx ‘verse.

He’s watching a big all-round hologram of space, and suddenly a comet streaks across the view. Valtor is delight! This is “the wishing star. It hasn’t been seen in the magic universe for almost a thousand years! I must have it! It’s the only way to make my ultimate wish come true!”

Sounds interesting!

But here comes Obscurum to interrupt Valtor’s rant. “Ahem. Sorry to interrupt such a glorious dream, your Foolishness, but you do know your dark powers will prevent you from getting anywhere near the wishing star.”

Valtor already knows, but he says he can power up be getting himself some Cosmix! And he does a really lecherous grin and we cut to…

Orion’s ship! Orion does the most adorable, “What did you bring me from Syderia?” and is delight when Bloom presents him with the crystal of “condensed star energy.”

Twinkle suggests using it for a paperweight or bookends but Orion says he can make a prototype mini star core. If it works he can make new cores for all the stars Valtor destroyed.

Bloom’s phone buzzes. Shy is suggesting a romantic dinner. The Winx are immediately all opver the romance, except for Tecna, who is...having that geekfest with Orion that I wanted her to have a few episodes ago! They’re talking about how to boost the power of the new star cores.

Stella: “Who needs romance when there’s some new hypertechnothingamajig about to be built?” ^^

Bloom says Tecna and Orion are right, the mission needs to come first. “I’m just sorry Sky and I have so little time to see each other.” Bloom sounds quite chipper, but her face is sad. I think the actress didn’t do the emotion right for that line.

Flora suggests the Winx can handle things so Bloom can see Sky, but Bloom has to go to Earth for her mom’s birthday. So she has to turn Sky down.

Tec and Orion are still talking star cores. Adorable.

So the rest of the Winx will continue to do outer space stuff while Bloom heads to earth.

Cut to Gardenia! Mike is waiting on the beach, holding a cute picture of young Bloom. She turns up, and they hug. They’re going to throw a surprise party for Vanessa. Mike says it should be easy since Bloom can just snap her fingers and do it with magic, which brings up a whole bunch of thoughts about what it would really be like if some people could use magic like that. Well maybe magic is like money, one-percenters can snap their fingers and make stuff happen too.

But Bloom wants to set up the party without using any magic!

Mike is going to take Vanessa out to lunch so she doesn’t suspect. He asks Bloom if she’s sure she doesn’t need help.

“Dad I’m a fairy, I bring light back to drained stars. I think I can handle a party.”

Cue predictable comedic failure montage! Bloom attempts to set up a beach party without magic and stuff goes wrong.

On his Asteroid Valtor is talking to himself again. he’s looking at a projection of the universe that’s going from blue to purple which I think means the spread of drained stars. He’s gotten a lot, apparently.

“I’ve drained the light of one star after another to increase my powers, but the Winx always manage to save the day! No more! they’ll never stand in my way again, once the Cosmix power is mine...” Counting your chickens before they hatch, huh Valtor? He rants a bit more. His plan is to get at Bloom through her family.

Obscurum turns up in a hologram; he’s on Lumenia. His favorite spot. He rambles a bit about becoming king.

Valtor dumps Obscurum through a portal into a river.

Beach! Vanessa arrives for her surprise party! With a bunch of people we’ve never seen before. Bloom did get it set up without magic.

Sweet moments with Bloom and her family. Bloom’s given her mom a photo album with pictures of her childhood. They talk about Bloom’s adventures in space, but she says her home will always be with them. She also says that all the places she goes are places I trouble, and she looks quite pensive, and Mike reminds her that here in Gardenia she’s safe.

No mention of Bloom’s other family—which is fine, I love her earth family, but it does make me wonder if the Season 8 Timeslide has erased Bloom’s Domino family from the timeline. That would be a pretty big change.

As they go to cut the cake, Valtor decides it’s time to blow the earth’s candle out! He opens a portal near the sun… but not the mass of incandescent gas that we know it as, this sun is a honeycomb ball of glowing yellow stone. Staryums pour into the caves.

But the sun’s lumens are badass! They’re Roman lumens with lil helmets and armored skirts and some of them are carrying blowguns they’re prepared to defend their light!

So the staryums get together and turn into starchomps.

Roman lumen attack! Darts away! I think they’re shooting starlight from their blowguns.

The starchomps get together and grow into an even bigger stompy monster! It scares the lumens away and starts punching the sun’s star core!

The rest of the Winx meanwhile are on Lumenia. Tecna shows off the prototype star core to Queen Dorana. Dorana worries, quite reasonably, that once the stars are repowered the staryums will just come back and drain them again. She wishes her brother Argen were here; “he’d certainly know how to stop them for good.” flora reassures the queen that her brother will come home soon. And until then, the Winx will fight them1

Twinkle reminds everyone that we don’t want to hurt the staryums. Then she flies and hugs Queen Dorana’s foot, which is very cute but Dorana looks kinda uncomfortable. She reminds the girkls that she turned Lumilla back to herself by hugging them. So more hugs should turn the rest of the staryums back!

Dorana is skeptical.

Musa and Aisha do not like the idea of hugging staryums! Anyway, there aren’t enough of us to hug them all!

Flora says that hugging is the only way. ‘Only when they feel loved and accepted will they turn back into lumens.

Well I guess it’s a version of the Kiss of True Love, the Hug of True Acceptance? I once read a book where they were trying to disenchant some people and there was a line about “it has to be true love, not brotherly love” which made me wonder if there are other spells that would only be lifted by Brotherly Love.

Anyway, Queen Dorana feels unwell suddenly and sinks to the ground. Something bad is happening! Twinkle’s projector-thingy shows the sun is under attack! Everyone’s worried! They leap into action!

Party is party. Then it goes dark! The sun is flickering!

Valtor summons dark giants from under the sea! I presume he left them there earlier. They’re the same color as staryums but not furry, they’re more towards “made of living shadow” type of look, with a eye-ish circle on the head, lines of mystic runes, and Valtor’s mark. Very cool. Two of them come tromping towards the beach. People panic and run.

Bloom: Oh, well, now I’ve got two problems to solve. Save the sun and save Gardenia from those whatever-they-are!” She sounds wonderfully exasperated.

Mike says there’s only one Bloom, but she says she’s never alone. And calls Sky. This isn’t the date they wanted, but giants are attacking.

Sky: “Let me guess, Valtor?”

The Specialists will fight the giants while Bloom hugs her folks and heads for the sun. Sky did want to go with Bloom, but she basically ordered him to do giant duty. I wonder if this will come up in their inevitable couple-drama. Bloom flew off in Cosmix, but it doesn’t show her transforming in front of her parents.

Inside the sun the rest of the Winx face off the punchy monster that Aisha calls a megachomp when Bloom arrives. Megachomp punches things, then it noms the core in one bite. Heh. He just swallowed it.

Flora: “Maybe if we hug him he’ll turn into… well, a lot of lumens.”

Stella: “Sure Flora. You go first.”

They decide on some magic zapping instead.

Then there’s Valtor! In the flesh! The first time he’s left his lair all season! He’s floating just outside the cave. Stella even comments on this, saying he’s never crawled out from under his rock before.

Valtor: “Are you kidding, Stella? This is a special occasion! The sun’s gone dark, the earth is about to be destroyed, and Bloom will be forced to make the hardest decision of her life.’

Valtor summons a portal and blasts Bloom through it. Then he ducks back through his own portal, escaping.

In magic-space, or outer space, our hero and villain face off.

Bloom: “We beat you before, Valtor! And for sure we’ll do it again!”

Valtor: “I only lost because I let you do my bidding. But you won’t get away with it so easily this time.”

...what? No really, what did that sentence even say? ‘Let you do my bidding’..? What?

Bloom summons magic. Valtor summons an image of cars on the highway and people flee from Gardenia, while the giants tromp towards shore. On the beach Vanessa refuses to leave until she knows Bloom is safe. Well that’s dumb.

Bloom: “They’d better not be in any danger!”

Valtor: ‘Oh, sorry, it’s too late. They already are.”

Who WROTE these lines? -_-

Dark giant summons flying staryum-monkeys that attack the people on the beach!

Bloom is ready to fight, but Valtor is the only one who can stop the ‘stargoyles’ and the dark giants. So Bloom can’t take him out or the monsters would be freed from his control and run amok, he’s saying. Bloom says the specialists are on the way, but Valtor points out that his monsters are already THERE, innocent people are about to be toast, right now.

Bloom: Then I’ll fight them myself! I’m not scared of your dark magic!”

Valtor laughs. “Ah but if you save your parents, who’s going to save your friends?”

And we see the Winx having no luck against the megachomp, which looks a lot bigger than in the last scene.

Valtor: ‘And you know, without the sun your parents won’t survive anyway. They trust you. Will you betray them?”

Yes! THIS is an appropriately evil Valtor, at last! Once his lines started making sense.

Bloom looks back and forth between the two images, unable to decide.

Valtor presents his third option: give him the Cosmix power.

Bloom: “Never! You’d become even stronger!”

Valtor: “Right. But it’s still the best choice.” he promises to let everybody live if he gets the power.

Bloom wavers.

21. part of canon you think is overhyped

Oh, like everyone I have to say season 3. I will never argue that it is an exiting season with a good villain and a good concept. But it feels like by the middle of the season the writers themselves didn’t know where to go. It really feels like they did not imagine the end yet and this is why it feels so rushed and why Valtor is suddenly so boring and useless. I miss the epic finale. It also handled the different stories very badly. The fact that it starts with all the mess on Solaria and then it goes on for several episodes not being mentioned again. It just doesn’t make sense, that Stella would easily give up on her father no matter if Valtor on Andros and later in Magix was the bigger threat at the moment. While I rewatched it I waited desperately for the things on Solaria to get fixed. But it didn’t happen until episode 19? Wtf. It’s also a shame that besides Stella, none of the Winx really has a lot screentime like in season 2. We got the Enchantix arcs, yes, but they only lasted on episode each. The Crystal Labyrinth was such a good idea to show the different characters and their problems again but then again it only lasted one episode and the other characters were just left out. It was just too much Bloom, Bloom, Bloom to me. Talking of Bloom: Tecna just “died” and Bloom goes to Pyros to earn her ego-Enchantix and the Winx are SOO worried about Bloom and don’t waste a single thought on Tecna? Wtf, girls? If Timmy hadn’t been there, Tecna would still be in the Omega Dimension.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

SEASON 1?!?! Everyone just forgets it or claims that it’s only about Bloom? Like, yes, the focus is on Bloom because she is the fkn main character, but we see a lot from the other girls too. Especially Flora and Stella have their moments and episodes they shine in. In the other episodes every character is very strongly portrayed as well. They are all individuals and act as those, not like in s5+ where everyone is just a long-haired glitter babe. Season 1 built up a very good fantasy world and had a red string when it comes to storytelling. It was all about exploring Magix and Bloom’s origin and one was curious to find out more and more things! It is also the season of the Trix, come on. Those bad bitches have their golden moments in there and nearly take over the whole magic dimension. They are cunning and clever and know what they do unlike the later seasons where they become first minions to Darkar and have only few episodes in s2 and later have their thing with Valtor. They had a goal, which got lost in the later seasons. What was exactly their goal when working with Darkar and Valtor? A place in the bed of the latter for sure but come on, they are the heirs to the ancestral witches. Someone like that shouldn’t be reduced to a minion or bed-bunny. So back to season 1: We also had morals transported through the story as well. We had real problems, be they interpersonal with the Winx actually being allowed to argue and making up with each other again or moral questions like the thing with the letter in 1x15. So to sum this up: Strong characters, strong story and the best part of my childhood. *applause*

23. ship you've unwillingly come around to

This won’t surprise anyone. It’s Rivusa. Since my earliest childhood, I never got why they had to become a couple. I felt uncomfortable watching them. It is just too much arguing to me and I also have to say, they are very poorly written. We know, that Musa had a crush on Riven early in season 1 but Riven wasn’t into her. She was just that one of the fairies he found the least annoying but then turned to Darcy because of….reasons. This “betrayal” Musa had to face was a total punch in her face. (It was no betrayal, we all know that, they had nothing ongoing and all blah blah. It is just from her point of view of course.) She felt left alone and even worse didn’t receive help from Riven when the witches were hunting her. There have to be so many, so deep scars left in Musa’s soul that I don’t get what s2 was doing with them. It would have been logical, if Musa had big trust issues now, like BIG trust issues from the beginning. But she seems just happy to finally have his attention. And Riven himself should have trust issues too after all the stuff that happened with Darcy. They are both broken souls who need fkn therapy but for sure not each other. Because when they are together, they argue. The whole time. It’s always Musa expecting the world from Riven (where from, Musa? Where do you take this right from? I just don’t get it) and Riven being unmotivated and either impulsive or hides his emotions completely. They are just no healthy couple. Look at brella. Look at them. This is how a healthy relationship works. Look at Helia and Flora and Tecna and Timmy. Both couples have communication problems, but they always find a way (talking of s1-3). I won’t keep on bitching over s4 now because that made Rivusa even more problematic (on both sides, Riven might be a jealous jerk but Musa is a bitch who wants to betray him with her music producer?? Wtf rainbow?? Why???). So all in all: I just think the writing should have focused more on their healing process and when they have to couple them up, then write it in a better way.
