Temporary
When Winx Club Luci e Ombre reported on the first episode of season eight, one of their bullet points was: “Nex is still with Aisha”. Of course, Nex is still with Aisha! How is that news? Unless you stopped watching Winx Club five years ago!
It just goes to show you the Winx fandom’s mentality about Aisha and Nex. These two have known each other for two seasons and now dated for a full season. That’s identical to Flora and Helia’s relationship if Winx Club had ended in season three. Plus in season eight, Nex will become the first of Aisha’s love interests to physically appear in three seasons.
Yet the Winx fandom still treats this couple like they’re temporary.
I know Aisha’s love life had been unpredictable, but that’s not why the fandom is doing this. It’s because they hope that Rainbow won’t keep her and Nex together. Treating their relationship like a variable is just another way of rejecting them.
Aisha and Nex are worth nothing to the Winx fandom, but that doesn’t mean this couple is truly worthless. I still see their beauty and potential, and I refuse to let them be wasted.
yeah i can see untapped potential with this couple too
i’m pondering to myself what would Nex desire the most
What do you mean?
well some context in a planned story plot for the specialists in my ongoing winx fic there will be a room that shows them what they desire the most and what i’m trying to figure out is what would nex desire most of all
That’s an important part of character writing, and it’s one of the reasons I think the guys are shallow love interests. They either have no desires of their own (most of the guys, including Nex), or their desires are conveniently the same as their girlfriends’ desires (Nabu). One of the few exceptions is Riven, but his ultimate desire still had something to do with Musa (being strong enough to protect her).
In my stories, I try to give Nex his own goals and dreams that have nothing to do with Aisha. That way, he’s as much his own person as he is her boyfriend. He’s athletic, so I could see him being obsessed with maintaining his physique or training for a sport. Also, what about his family life? That could factor in, too.
yeah
