Hopeless… Hopeful…
I believed. I really did.
Why did I get my hopes up?
Nothing ever changes in the Winx fandom.
Their hearts are locked. They’ll never love Aisha and Nex. They will never get attached to Nex because they’ll never let go of Nabu and Roy. And they’ll never stop thinking that Nex is a Riven clone.
Rainbow is trying to redeem this couple, but the fandom doesn’t care. They can’t care. It’s not even emotionally possible for them at this point.
The Winx Club cartoon may end soon, anyway. Rainbow hasn’t decided yet if they’re making a ninth season.
It’s over. Aisha and Nex never had a chance with this fandom. Too much was working against them.
I’m gonna put everything I can into my story. I’ll create a new world for Aisha and Nex — a world where they’re not stuck in any character’s shadow. They can grow and thrive both as a couple and as individuals.
If any Winx fans read my story, I hope they’ll finally understand why this couple is unique and why I’m so frustrated that the fandom doesn’t support them. Maybe those fans will get angry at Rainbow for wasting the couple’s potential.
And I hope people who have never watched Winx Club will find my story and fall in love with Aisha and Nex. This couple will have an adoring audience, even if it’s not the Winx fandom.
I do understand why you feel the way you do. It sucks that so many people refuse to acknowledge something so wonderful. It sucks that Rainbow doesn’t fully explore the life and death symbolism. It sucks.
But I haven’t completely given up hope. Maybe that makes me stupid, but I don’t care, honestly. I still love the world and characters of Winx Club, and I still love Aisha and Nex. And I know that your story will be fan-flipping-tastic. And I know that there are Aisha and Nex fans out there who are lovely, creative people who can make stories, art, and edits about them – you, Koohihime, Will, Knight. And all of the work you people do makes my days a little bit brighter. I try to contribute too, and so we have a nice, small circle of internet friends. And yeah, other people tell us we’re stupid and wasting our time, but honestly? Screw them. I know it can seem hard to block them out, but do it. Literally block them if you have to. Take a break from the internet for a bit. Do what you have to do.
I can tell that you want to be out there explaining to people why you love these two so much. And you should do that – you’re amazing at it. But just know that if you need to take a break from the negativity for a while, we – the Aisha-and-Nex-Defending Auxillary Squad – can fight the good fight in your place for a bit.
I hope that this was helpful, and made any actual sense. 🙂
Thanks. ? Honestly, I love having this blog. It’s one of the only places on the Internet where I feel happy right now. Even if there aren’t a lot of us, it makes me happy to have at least found some people who love Aisha and Nex as much as I do.
If you need a break, take it, I look forward to your Aisha and Nex fanfiction. Also if you would like a post about modern vs. traditional naming seeing as it isn’t just Aisha and Nex who have the traditional naming, Bloom, Roxy, Helia, Riven and Daphne also have it, and I would be happy to make such a post.
Thanks! Yes, feel free! I welcome guest posts. 🙂
yeah i don’t think season 8 will be the end of Winx club
It doesn’t make sense for it to end with season eight, especially with the new art style. But I don’t know.
yeah and the show’s universe still has a lot to show
