For Me, The Winx Magic is Gone

This morning, a video about Winx Club popped up in my YouTube recommendations: something about Netflix cancelling Fate: The Winx Saga (called it) and a new live-action adaptation in the works. I stopped following Winx news a while ago. I didn’t even know Winx Saga season two had premiered...

Aisha and Nex: Sword and Sorcerer

What is Sword and Sorcerer? As TV Tropes succinctly put it, it’s “a warrior and a magic user working together”. They’re often a male/female Battle Couple where the Sword is male, and the Sorcerer is female. What are some advantages of this team? The Sword is usually short range,...

“Fan Art: A Little Nap” Follow-Up: Aisha’s Hoodie Collection

I’ll be honest: I hoped that someone would point out the special detail in my second commission from J-Witless. So far, no one has. What is it? Aisha is wearing Nex’s hoodie from Winx season eight. I requested this for a couple reasons. One, it’s cute. Enough said. 🙂...

Winx Season 8: Did Rainbow Hint At Aisha and Nex’s Royal Future?

Sometimes, a scene that doesn’t seem important might have a hidden message. One moment in Winx season eight that felt more meaningful than it looked was in “The Light of Gorgol” (Winx season 8, episode 9). Nex asked Aisha for a dance. After she accepted, we briefly saw them...

Sorry For The Lack of Posts Lately

I feel like I haven’t posted much lately. Sorry about that. Real life (i.e., work) is getting in the way. But I’m committed to this blog. I’m writing a lot of long posts, so they’re just taking a while. In the meantime, next Friday is Valentine’s Day. Koohihime sent...
