Fixing The Flats: Fleshing Out The Winx’s Love Interests
Did you know Brandon loves engines and is an excellent climber? Did you know Helia lives at Redfountain — with Saladin? Did you know Riven‘s mother abandoned him when he was little? Oh, you knew that one? Okay. Name the episode where we learned it. Can’t? Exactly. If it...
“Nex and the Specialists” Follow-Up: Winx Season 8
With an eighth season of Winx Club in the record books, how did my predictions for Nex's friendships with the Specialists hold up?...
“Comics-Only Love Interests”, Pt. 2: More Sexism in Winx Club
In my post comparing Nex to Aisha’s comics-only love interests, Jordan and Silvan, I said that sexist comments used to be more common in Winx Club. So even though the fandom associates sexism with Riven (and now Nex), it’s actually a universal problem. I found another example: a conversation...
“Aisha’s Relationships as Stages of Life” Follow-Up #1: Downland Diplomacy
In my post “Aisha’s Relationships as Stages of Life”, I mentioned how the Winx fandom seems to think Aisha needs to be tamed. She’s a wild child with no gentleness or tact. Thus, she needs a calm, mild-mannered boyfriend to “balance her out” and soften her up. Why does...
Nex vs. Riven, Pt. I: Who is Riven? *UPDATE*
After I read the comment section of WinxClubEnglish’s Aisha and Nex love story video, I knew it was time for a new “Nex vs. Riven” post. I guess even though Riven returned in Winx season eight, this weak comparison hasn’t died yet. Regardless, I planned to write another post...
“Um, Actually…” #10: The Correct Correction
Did you figure out the mistake? Here’s the statement again: Though Nex was introduced in “The Flying School” (S6, EP03), we didn’t find out his name in that episode. In fact, neither he nor the other characters said his name until “Zombie Invasion” (S6, EP16), while the Winx were...
“Um, Actually…” #10: Find The Mistake
Welcome back to “Um, Actually”! Since Nex’s birthday is at the end of the week — I’ll explain then ? — how about another statement about him? I promise it would be as hard as last week’s. Find the mistake and correct it using the phrase “Um, Actually”. Though...
“Um, Actually…” #9: The Correct Correction
Okay, this one was too hard. Sorry, guys. ? You almost got it, though. (I was hoping Google would help.) This post is longer than usual, so I won’t include the whole statement this time. I’ll just show you the part that was wrong: Finally, “Helia”, the only feminine...
“Um, Actually…” #4: The Correct Correction
Did you find the mistake? Here’s the statement one more time: Aisha’s Morphix is one of the most unique and versatile powers in the ‘Winx Club’ series. As she explained in the RAI English dub, Morphix is made of water molecules that she can turn into any shape she...
Aisha/Nex Valentine’s Day Celebration #1: “Face Any Challenges”
Together we can face any challenges as deep as the ocean and as high as the sky.— Sonia Gandhi...
