Do I miss when Marker had that really cute purple??? Yeah. Do I find the mint green sweet though? Yeah.
I know some people get confused or even tired of marker, and I completely understand why people may not have any appeal towards him. I just like him because he reminds me of myself, or at least a self of me I once known. XD
While it’s been a while since I’ve reviewed/watched this entire arc involving the Trix (mostly Darcy pulling the strings, Icy and Stormy just assist) and Rivusa Drama, I have to be honest…. This scene was pretty dark in the greatest way possible.
I think a lot of people have related to Musa before: A small topic of situation gets turned into a big dramatic deal over someone or something, and then you’re the one who has to pay the big consequences just for standing up for yourself.
While I do get the part about how Icy didn’t hit Musa first in THIS moment, I still know that all the Trix have messed with and beaten up the Winx Club enough to know that…. A slap is honestly just basic mercy in their version of a fairy world.
Many people often view Flora as having a very familial/maternal energy. This is not just because of how she handles things like her plants and sister, but also how she sometimes had talked about things to the other Winx (at least in the earliest seasons). She is an amazing friend and supportive as hell when Bloom was still getting used to the fact that she was adopted.
Flora is someone who is known for peace. Some view her shyness as a breath of fresh air, while others view it as a kind mirror that shows them that it’s okay to have a shyness.
Despite Flora being all gentle and sweet, her strength is shown at its best when she wishes to fight for those she loves. Referring to her sister again, I feel like at least some of us had a bit of a relatable to empathetic feeling for Flora and her sister. Flora witnessed her sister sink into a lake of cursed pollution (just calling it that to be hyperbolic), and IMMEDIATELY dove into action.
Not only does Flora not hesitate to attack those that attack others, but the fact that Flora risked her entire life to save her sister says millions of words with it a single word even being need to be said.
While one could say some qualities of Flora did get more simplified in later seasons, I know for a fact that Flora was most likely a character that resonated with a good chunk of people, solely due to how her shy personality is portrayed. Shyness isn’t a weakness.
What if Tecna had a robotic/technological prosthetic arm or leg?
Perhaps Tecna could’ve gotten a prosthetic arm or leg, whether before or after enrolling into Alfea, due to some accident or even sabotage (depends on how the tone is with whatever alternate world this could happen in).
In my opinion, while this one change is completely optional to do, I feel like Tecna having a prosthetic would lead to more ways to expand on her character, for negative and positive moments
Tecna as a person has always been self conscious about how she speaks and acts. Due to her already having dealt with others viewing her as robotic, I think her struggles with having a particular prosthetic could lead to lessons about just because someone is different it does not ever mean their less human.
While I personally don’t believe bullying is likely to happen directly towards Tecna, what is still likely to happen is the confusion and fear from others.
Because of all the technological abilities and literal intelligence in Tecna’s character, she would definately be the type to adapt and utilize her prosthetic, via teching it up and whatnot.
In terms of her fairy form, I am a bit conflicted on how a prosthetic hand works in battle. Of course, due to magic and technology on Tecna’s side, there is many ways you can have a prosthetic fairy hand used in battle. To be honest, there is very limitless answers to how Tecna could use her arm, or any prosthetic type, to her own advantage in an emergency situation.
Overall, this hypothetical and completely fanmade idea is for those who like the idea of Tecna with Extra Robotic Techs instead of flat out “Robot Tecna”
The relationship between Musa and her mother means an extreme amount to me. The fact that Musa actually lost her mom at a young age was bad enough, so the fact that we end up learning also in season 2 that Musa had a bit of difficulty communicating with her dad, it all just feels messed up.
Musa’s Mom clearly had an impact on Musa and Musa’s Dad. While I have vivid memories of hating Musa’s Dad at the beginning back then, due to how he projected his fears onto Musa, I really don’t think Musa’s dad was ever a devil or anything. Grief is a horrible feeling.
Onto season 3, this is where I got mad. Let’s just say the picture out loud - Musa had to sacrifice a chance to see her mom for the water stars.
It’s kind of messed up that they got extremely personalized with Musa, compared to the trials of Tecna and Stella at least.
Even when I was a kid I felt like salt was being put in my face when all they did with Musa is give her some verbal comfort… mind you it turned out Stella and Tecna didn’t even really had to sacrifice much of anything afterward after all.
Honestly the way that this uses Musa’s mom and references her in later seasons makes me feel an ill type of angry. When I was a kid first watching the scene of Musa talking to her dad about what her sirenix wish could do, the narrative tried to guilt us into thinking “no you shouldn’t bring back your mom”
But then they proceed to have Aisha save her cousin and then Bloom has Saphne rebecome a whole type of human again? (Well, fairy, but her body is physical now ya know?)
I wish that Musa was able to have some form of closure. I honestly could make a post of all the Musa mistreatment I remember from each season atp.
These are some scrambled ideas I’ve had for Nickel, though I’ll admit, I need to get myself remotivated into making Human II Designs. Anyway, these are some traits I’ve brainstormed for him:
His hairstyle could be similar to a buzz cut or anything with a really short to borderline bald-ish style. His hair color could be portrayed as a dyed silver (if you wanna try a young adult or borderline midlife crisis age approach)… however, it can also be made to seem like genuinely greying hairs (whether to imply age, stress, both, etc.)
Other hairstyles that I feel would fit nickel include slick back, waves, combover, bowl cut, etc. I also say that he’d probably could wear something silver or grey over his hair as well, like a bandana.
I personally view Nickel physical appearance to include an overall average to normal body range, with a lesser than average muscle density. Nickel, again personally in my opinion, is someone who can easily be viewed as “all bark, not all bite”, due to him often having a strong attitude but not always having the capability to back it up to the max.
To further refer to the “all bark, not all bite” metaphor, yes, Nickel would be a shorter than average dude.
For silver color motifs besides his hair, you could also/instead put grey or silver palletes as his pants (ex. Jeans) and/or as a rad jacket.
by the way, don’t be afraid to put nickel in a non-casual or otherwise atypical outfit. I think a hypothetical human version of him would be able to rock many fits, such as tuxedo/suits, armor, shirt over shirt, shorts over pants, a literal undershirt and shorts, etc.
