With the reboot do you think the girls relationship will be better or worse. (Looks at Riven and Sky menacing)
Sort answer: 'Better' may not be the right word, but I'm hoping they at least return to the level they were during Winx's original run, and I AM PRAYING think they will for the reboot!
Long answer: The Nickbow era stripped back the Specialists to either: A) be points of drama for the girls to go through (Sky, Riven, Nex, S5 Helia) or B) show up every few episodes to say how much they love/support the girls, but otherwise offer nothing (Timmy, Brandon). Even Season 4, as much as I love it, began doing Point A more than I liked (the Stella/Brandon/Mitzi debacle for example). The boys weren't treated as characters so much as they were a collective Boyfriend Unit.
This was, of course, stupid. The Specialists are a great part of Winx Club, they do have distinct personalities and unique relationships with each other (Riven is way closer to Timmy than he is with Sky, Helia is a friend but also lets the guys do Dumb Shit until there's a real emergency, Brandon is probably the most romantic and understanding about emotions next to Helia, I could go on). And that in turn makes their relationships with the girls better. Because instead of Tecna dating the 'Brainiac Specialist,' Tecna is dating Timmy, a guy who is a problem-solver that's sometimes bad at expressing his feelings, but always sees the best in Tecna and loves her.
And look, a full on reboot may mean we're back to square one with Sky and Riven. But again, if they are treated like characters who get actual arcs and personalities, I'll be okay with it. Musa and Riven's relationship in S1 of Winx is 'bad,' because Riven's an asshole who hasn't grown yet. Bloom and Sky develop a great relationship in S1, but it's also gets ruined because Sky's lying about who he is to Bloom. We may have to go through something like that again, and some people may not be jazzed about it (which is fair, it's going to be really hard to separate these shows for me, too). But if it's done well like it was then (okay, like Riven's was, Sky needs this overhaul tbh), I think the relationships in the reboot will come out that much stronger. And with the series turning back to an in-house production without Nickelodeon, trying to reach the original demographic, I think it's the best shot the fandom's gotten in years for good relationships.

Royal Court Fashion
Specialist Edition: Nabu
Tumblr media
It is very fitting Nabu wears purple, as he is my KING!
Why I am doing this bc they need more outfits besides their bodysuit. And I want justice for my Winx Club Babies for a real-life design.
I tried to find outfits according to cultural Background. I researched, and Nabu is claimed to be Mesopotamia inspired. At least that was on a wiki page from winx Club. But then I also saw people saying he has an African or Indian background. So, I am unsure. I thought he was Arabic. Let me know what you think.
Please let me know your opiniononr traditional clothing from the country you think he was inspired from.
Name origion:
that could give further hints to his cultural background.
The alias name he used Ophir:
"...mentioned in the Bible, Ophir. The real location of Ophir is unknown, and there is speculation it was in Africa or South America or India" - Winx Club Wiki
The name Nabu comes from Babylonian mythology. Babylon or Bable is said to have been one of the most important cities in the old days. It is claimed to be in today's Irak.
Description:
Nabu is described as having a "tan complexion with very long brown hair." -Winx Wiki. In comparison, Aisha/Layla is described as "Aisha is a dark-skinned girl". Therefore, clearly states that she is black while Nabu is described as tan. Therefore, one can make the point that he is Asian either of Iraqi or Indian background.
Another example would be Flora. She is described as: " Flora is a young tan-skinned girl." (Same as Nabu.) Flora is modeled after Jennifer Lopez. Therefore, is Latina.
Overall, I would argue Nabu is of Arabic background.
*reference winx club wiki
Outfit description:
He wears a purple tunic with gold lining and a long braided ponytail. Winx wiki describes his outfit:
"In Season 3 and the beginning of Season 4, his clothing bears a close resemblance to traditional Chinese clothing but lacked the silky designs."
- Winx Wiki
Tumblr media
Therefore, I would argue that Nabu is Asian. I'm leaning more toward having an Arabic background. I settled, therefore, on Irak.
I tried to find appropriate clothes but I am not familiar with the traditional clothing of Iraqi men. I researched it said:
"The costume for men consists of a pair of baggy pants known as a shalwar, a long-sleeved shirt, and a vest. "
- What modern Iraqi people wear. Talk in Arabic
I googled Shalwar and long-sleeved shirt and west in hopes of finding appropriate outfits. I am not sure if this is 100% accurate as this is not my culture. I liked the outfits and thought it would be interesting to see Nabu wear something like that. Please let me know if you have more knowledge or more appropriate clothing ideas.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Design:
These outfits are worn on formal events like Stella's princessball. Attending Royal Court in Eraklyon. Formal dances thrown by the three schools.
More casual going out fashion
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are worn when they are on earth and somewhat try to blend in while still keeping their own touch, such as wearing the color purple or Middle Eastern shoe wears and more baggy pants.
I think Nabu would still keep his streamlined outfits. With a simple shirt and a jacket or vest above that can be opened at the front. So, it flows in a straight horizontal line. His pants also would not be too tight so he could move around and be more free.
A sweet headcanon I have is Layla and Nabu doing each others hair as a form of bonding and love language. In the evening or morning, they take their time and braid or detangle their hair. They use that opportunity to talk about anything and nothing. In the morning, Nabu talks about his dreams and what they could mean, and in the evening, Layla would talk about the things she and Winx have done and her worries about what will happen.
It is the calmest time of the day for them. A time just for them and be with each other.

“I miss the Winx and the Specialists actually working together, going on quests and fighting together in the old seasons. It made the boys feel like actual characters rather than just love interests. The new seasons just sidelined them and made them useless dead weights.”

The Specialists is a mod of the original Half-Life, first released in October 2002. Created by Filippo "Morfeo" De Luca and Lorenzo "John_Matrix" Pasini, it's heavily inspired by The Matrix and John Woo. Though still your old-school deathmatch affair at heart, it also includes a stunt system, slow-motion (the devs claim its the first multiplayer game to feature slow-motion), hand-to-hand combat, customizable firearms, and the ability to play from a third-person perspective.

The happiest of birthdays in the afterlife to one of the greatest to ever do it, Sergio Corbucci! If he only made The Great Silence, that would have been enough, but we got The Mercenary, Django, Companeros and so many others!

Gym leaders and such often have names that match their type which raises the question: which type would you specialise in based only on your name?
