Winx Club Flora - Tumblr Posts
Me when my math teacher speaks
Big fat mood
Winx collection
I DREW FLORA
I COLORED FLORA
OK I KNOW I SHOULD SLEEP BUT I RAISE YOU THIS: Winx Club, Ever After High, and Across the Spiderverse:
Bloom, Apple White, Miles
Stella, Briar Beauty, Lyla
Flora, C.A. Cupid, Pavitr
Musa, Melody Piper, Hobie
Tecna, Cedar Wood, Margo
Aisha, Cerise Hood, Jess
Roxy, Raven Queen, Gwen
I have my reasons about these trios and i WILL rant about them upon request (please tell me to talk about these)
If I had the brain cells and the capacity to sit down long enough, I'd type out multiple in-depth analysis comparing Across The Spider-verse characters and Ever After High characters.
I'd discuss the parallels between each of them as well as their goals and current character arcs.
There'd be predictions for character growth for Beyond The Spider-verse and what we could have had if Ever After High had continued.
But alas I am but a mortal human being with ADHD and autism. So I cannot find the strength or the willpower to type it out.
So it'll sit in my mind for who knows how long. But at the very least if this inspires somebody else to break out of their shell and type this up please do so. (@ me if you do)
I finally have my words to put together, let's go:
Bloom, Apple White, Miles
• Main character of their franchise
• Group-based focus in their fandom (Winx CLUB, Royals/Rebels, Arachkids)
• Corrupted version of themselves seen in their source material (Dark Bloom, Wonderland-Curse Apple White, Miles-42)
• Their love interest is an important character to the plot (Sky being her savior from Dark Bloom, Daring/Darling Charming 'whos the real love interest for Apple?', Gwen being the reason Miles is stuck in Earth-42).
Stella, Briar Beauty, Lyla
• Feminine focus who's not the love interest
• Sassy and confident
• The 'bestie' role/second-in-command to someone (Bloom's bestie, Apple White's 'Best Friend Forever After', Miguel's assistant)
• Beauty is important to them (Stella is obsessed with fashion, Briar is fashion designer, Lyla uses filters in that one scene)
Flora, C.A. Cupid, Pavitr
• Overlooked by other characters (Stella telling Flora she's useless cause she can't bring Mirta back, C.A. Cupid not having her feelings taken seriously, Pavitr being clueless about the 'just another easy day for spiderman')
• Cheerful with a love interest who's important to their story arc (Helia helps Flora earn her charmix, Dexter Charming helps C.A. Cupid come to her senses about romance, Gyatri having her death be Pavitr's cannon event)
• Being from another world (Flora from Lynphea, C.A. Cupid from Monster High, Pavitr from Earth-50101)
Musa, Melody Piper, Hobie
• Music-focused (Musa is the Fairy of Music, Melody is the Daughter of the Pied Piper, Hobie uses Guitar weapon
• Anti-society/anti-rules, restricted by parental/authority figures (Musa's father denying her trying to follow her dreams as a musician, Melody running an underground rave against school rules, Hobie being an anarchist)
Tecna, Cedar Wood, Margo
• Voice (Tecna being robotic/logical, Cedar only able to tell the truth, Margo's voice being 'not real' as only through a hologram)
• Sacrifice is important to story (Tecna's Enchantix sacrifice, Cedar's happily ever after and sacrificing her talking, Margo not influencing the 'go home' machine and sacrificing the multiverse in favour of a friend)
Aisha, Cerise Hood, Jess
• Betrayal is relevant (ditching the Winx, red riding hood story and being betrayed by her sister, turning against miles/hiding her true intentions)
• An additional power/object compared to their allies (Aisha's morphix, Cerise's wolf heritage, Jess' bike)
Roxy, Raven Queen, Gwen
• Manipulated (Wizards of the Black Circle want Roxy to give up her powers, Evil Queen wants Raven to follow her story, Miguel initially forced Gwen to abandon Miles)
• Follows the 'refusal of the call' trope (Roxy is the last fairy on earth but doesn't want to be, Raven is supposed to be the next evil queen but doesn't want to be, Gwen was forced to lie/betray Miles but doesn't want to)

screenshot redraw (i'm soft for them)
Perhaps the domino gowns of s5...they....they need a bit of love 😭
Couldn’t not upload my favorite pairs too while they’re in such nice attire, as a treat
Anyway, bestie these were WILD to look at
Redesigning these meant trying my best to keep certain shapes, and then saying fuck it for most of them and just lore dumping through dresswear instead
Musa, Flora, and Tecna are in nice formal wear with some traditional elements and general stuff representative of their respective homes as guardian fairies and members of the winx and Stella, Aisha, and Bloom are wearing formal wear that’s drenched in years of political context and a lot of it with handed down elements select to the leaders of the body of government
Stella’s is a hodgepodge of her own selection and custom tailoring and Aisha’s is a more modern take on traditional elements that she prefers her royal stylist to stick to as a way to stay on trend and match with what she likes
Lore stuff and some explanations for changed that I feel like justifying below the cut if you’re interested!:)
For Musa I went more Ming dynasty and tried a longer skirt but it just didn’t really look right to me, so pants it is. The only thing I ended up keeping from her og dress was a line down the middle on the upper part of the outfit.
Aisha has the green gem featured in her crown (the one for the heir of Androsia) and her parent’s headwear as I’ve featured in other pieces and has been shown in between the two diamond jewels in the same formal wear pieces and as is shown on her bracelets. I realized I never specified what those are symbolic of ahaaa
The two diamonds are for the land and the sea, each equal in size and color for the symbolism of equal emphasis and importance in the standing of the government, with the green circle being where they touch. The Diamond shape is to represent each form reaching for each other and outwards, encompassing all around it, and the dot where they drop into each other, making the surface of the sea. Aisha as heir is currently meant to represent this unity as she is the result of Land and Sea symbolically through her parents with the way Androsian government works, and she is meant to currently do what she can to represent all her subjects’ interests before she takes her final place as the representative for the Land Androsi (if she does take that position at all actually because there’s some political turmoil in my thing with how government works rn that I talk about some in this post but shhhh we’ll figure that out later)
Tecna’s is a purple girlie.
There are lots of natural ways to dye things purple on Zenith (they do a lot of it synthetically or magically now) so lots of traditional stuff is purple and lucky for Tecna, they, like anyone who loves purple, isn’t normal about the color and enjoys a lot of traditional Zenithian garb as a result since a lot of it has that.
Flora was much easier to do and less time consuming because she’s already a floral person and I could translate the shape easily into something close to traditional Lymphean garb from her area. The only shame here is I originally thought it would be nice to keep it more teal and green heavy since she so rarely gets the chance to wear those colors in canon when compared to her more pink heavy color palette, but I ended up caving to purplish petals instead.
Bloom is doing The Most here, and I wanted to intentionally make her kind of awkward in terms of hair size compared to her body and fit in particular. Bloom doesn’t do much with her hair usually outside of a half up half down, but she has her mom’s fiery red locks and she is doing her first Official Royal Outing and not only is she going to dress to the 9s in a way that is over the top by most modern government standings, wearing as many official emblematic bits, shapes, and references to the royal body as possible, she wants to channel some of what Marion has as an expert diplomat and make her proud and she thinks looking like her might help. I feel like Marion has the genuine confidence, zeal, and presence through decades of experience and proper study and general demeanor to pull off the big hair though whereas Bloom is basically doing the equivalent of trying on her parents big shoes when she’s a toddler. It looks more like dress up on her than it does an actual fitting look for her first attempt at politicking (and Diaspro does point this out to Bloom, and while it is meant to be snide, it’s also meant to be her way of trying to tell her she’s trying too hard and she shouldn’t. Her and Bloom have a decent acquaintanceship of sorts at this point. They’re never going to be best buds but they don’t hate each other or hold any ill will. Their personalities clash though and they know their limits with each other at this current point in their relationship. No Diaspro Sky Bloom bullshit here thanks) and she’s anxious and insecure and desperately wants to make her Dominion parents proud, especially because of her insecurities for the obvious (didn’t grow up royal, new to magic, still scene as the legacy child for Domino even though it’s been newly resurrected, also meaning this is it’s first big foray back into the Magical Realm’s political sphere and it HAS to show they’re still a capable powerhouse, which is also part of why the meeting is being held on Domino too, as a courtesy favor from the other governments involved in The Infinite Ocean stuff to help get its foot back in the door), but most importantly, because she’s not Daphne, and that’s a sore subject at this current time.
For Stella, I managed to keep some shapes from the og dress, but it’s very slight. Stella at this point is big on embracing her moon heritage as well and advocating more for causes beyond just Solarian government stuff, as in the government body that lumps Lunarian stuff in with it, and is working hard on raising Lunarian interests as separate things, reenforcing the idea that their culture and people are separate but equal despite the attempted assimilation under the planet of Solaria itself, an assimilation that still hasn’t been fully stopped or systematically eradicated. She has charisma and charm to spare and is taking the actual nitty gritty “not so fun” parts of politics (ie actual info on sociocultural and socioeconomic trends, trade info, statistics and projected trends, etc. basically all the stuff that isn’t “show up to parties and mingle”) much more seriously now and is wanting to make proper and viable change in multiple areas of her future government, and she’s working on properly finding her footing in the world of direct action and political savvy maneuvering through proper head on negotiations.
✨Bloom, Aisha & Flora✨
