Trix Headcanon Of The Day #19

Trix headcanon of the day #12

My explanation/ headcanon of Stormy wears skirts much more often than Icy and Darcy (and the winx actually) in the seasons that count anyway

I always liked to imagine that both Icy and Darcy are just completely gorgeous. Meanwhile Stormy is more average. As the trix got older she started feeling self conscious about her looks and started wearing more skirts to try to appear more feminine and more beautiful. It didn't really matter to anyone but her, but it made her feel better even if it didn't really make her happy.

As opposed to Icy and Darcy who are very comfortable in their pastel preppy and dark hippie styles, Stormy never really got a chance to discover her style and her clothes more reflect wanting to fit in vs. reflecting who she is

Of course due to evil shenanigans the trix end up wearing potato sacks forever

Crying

Icy: Doesn't cry. How dare you assume that. That's...ridiculous

Darcy: We actually see her cry in the show, and I believe that she would be a full blown ugly cryer. Hot mess. Completely smudging her makeup, mascara running down her face. Think that one picture of Kim Kardashian. She doesn't cry that often or that easily though.

Stormy: She tries to cover her face, with her hands or by turning away from her sisters. She is embarrassed that she is crying and as the youngest it worried she will be seen as less than or a crybaby. She also kicks thinks and hits things.

What a Sister is Supposed to do: Chapter 3

I finally finished my first multi-chapter fic and decided to post it here too.

After taking a deep breath Icy raised her fist to knock at the door. She shouldn’t feel so nervous. She was here to comfort her sister. Why did she feel so uneasy? 

Icy knocked gently. She wasn’t sure if Stormy had heard her, and was about to try again when she heard Stormy say “Go away.” It was obvious from her voice that she had been crying again. She sounded so weak and upset and… wet?

“Stormy, I’m sorry. Can I come in?” Icy responded gently. No response. I guess we really are doing this all over again. Icy hesitantly opened the door, half expecting Stormy to throw something at her out of frustration. Instead, Stormy was once again in her bundle of blankets on the bed. 

Her sister didn’t try to hide in the blankets like she had last time. In fact, she refused to acknowledge Icy’s presence at all. Stormy was laying on her side, her eyes focused on a random spot on the wall. Icy could see the tear stains on Stormy’s cheeks and her eyes were red and puffy. There was no way she could mess this up again.

Icy sat on the side of the bed again, the same spot she was in before. Icy set the food she brought next to her. 

“Stormy,” Icy whispered. Stormy closed her eyes again and squeezed them shut, in an effort to keep new tears forming. “Stormy I’m sorry.” Stormy’s eyes shot open, still not looking at Icy. “You needed help and I freaked out and left. I’m sorry. I should have been there for you.” Stormy didn’t react to Icy’s words but she knew that her sister heard them. 

Icy took the silence as a cue to keep talking. Words poured from her. “I know everything that we went through this past year has been hard on you. I’m your big sister. I’m supposed to protect you. I just keep doing it wrong. I shouldn’t have walked out on you. I just got overheated and… it was just too much. It’s not your fault. I should have paid attention more. Darcy and I… we care about you. I know we give you a hard time a lot, especially Darcy. But she really does care about you. You shouldn’t have to be scared around us or on guard around us. I’ll try to do better and I’ll make sure Darcy does too. You’re a really great sister Stormy. I know I don’t tell you that enough. You're sweet and funny and pretty…”

Icy turned her head to look at Stormy. Apparently, Icy had been so engrossed in her speech that she didn’t realize that Stormy was now sitting up. The two girls looked at each other in silence. Stormy’s eyes were filled with hope, but it was obvious she was still nervous that this was all some sort of trick. 

“I-I brought some food,” Icy said, grabbing something random and handing it to Stormy. A half smushed granola bar. Icy really should have brought something better. “I assumed you hadn’t eaten since yesterday,” Icy offered as an explanation. Stormy gingerly took the bar from her and started eating it. 

To fill the silence Icy started speaking again. “I know I’ve messed up in the past, but I want to try to make it up to you now. Just tell me how and I’ll do it.” Stormy looked down and started mumbling again. She was about to start crying again. This was Icy’s second chance. 

Before her sister could move she pulled her into a hug. Once safely in her older sister’s arms, Stormy allowed herself to cry. It was the same reckless sobbing as before with tears bleeding through her shirt, but this time Stormy had Icy rubbing her back and whispering reassurances in her ear. It didn’t take long for Icy to get overheated again, a common trait for magical beings whose powers were based on ice, but this time she refused to pull away. It was uncomfortable, but she would sacrifice comfort for her sister. 

After a little while Stormy calmed down and pulled away from Icy to sit up. Tears completely covered her cheeks. Icy awkwardly tried to use the back of her hand to wipe the tears away, but just ended up spreading them around more. Stormy chuckled slightly at this and wiped the rest of her tears away herself. 

“I’m sorry about all of this,” Stormy said quietly.

“Stormy, don’t worry about it. It’s fine.” Icy responded truthfully.

“No, it's all my fault anyway. This wouldn’t have happened to you,” Stormy said, sounding dejected.

“You know, I don’t know what happened on this mission you went on” Icy saw Stormy wince. “Would you tell me what happened?”

Stormy looked hesitant, but started talking shakily. “I-I went to Red Fountain. There was this… concert there. Musa was singing,” Stormy buried her face in her hands. “I’m sorry this is so stupid.” 

Stormy started to tear up again. I probably should say something. “Just keep talking,” Icy said, wincing at her words. It came out as an order. She probably should have tried to be gentler.

However, Stormy didn’t seem to notice and kept talking. “She ended up completely overpowering me, and the entire reason I was even there was for revenge because she overpowered me before.” Stormy looked down and closed her eyes, causing tears to drip down her cheeks. It hurt Icy to see her little sister like this.

“I’m sorry you’re upset. I can understand that—”

“No! You don’t know!” Stormy cut in, causing Icy to jump slightly. “You don’t know what it’s like to always be the weakest, always be the worst. I can’t defeat one fairy even with a stupid power up!” Stormy started crying again. “It’s just… I don’t want things to be like this anymore.”

This was…a lot. How was Icy supposed to comfort her sister without flat out lying to her? Stormy was the weakest. Losing one on one to a fairy with a power up was pathetic. The only time Icy lost one on one with a fairy was when she fought the fairy of the dragon flame. What was she supposed to say to make her feel better? I’m sorry you suck?

Stormy looked at Icy, expecting her to say something, but she was at a loss for words. The silence became uncomfortable. Icy sat stone faced, hoping that the right words would miraculously come to her. Why did she ever think she could do this?

“Icy?” Stormy hesitantly asked. “Just don’t leave again.”

Icy turned to meet Stormy’s eyes. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say to make you feel better,” Icy responded truthfully. “I’m not really good at all this emotional stuff.”

“It’s fine,” Stormy said, wiping the remaining tears from her face. “Thanks for trying. I do feel better though.”

“I’m glad it worked a little.”

Stormy laughed softly. “...So, did you change your shirt because of me?”

“Oh, uh yeah,” Icy said looking down at the fresh wet patch on her new shirt. “Looks like I’ll have to change it again.” Stormy smiled slightly at this.

The two girls sat next to each other in amicable silence. “Things are different now,” Stormy said quietly. 

Icy turned to look at her sister. “Yeah, they are.” Icy paused. “I think that’s how it’s supposed to be though. Things are always changing.”

“I don’t think I like it.”

“I’ll always be there for you. That will never change.” 

Stormy shifted closer to her sister. “Thanks Icy.”

“It’s what a sister is supposed to do.”

Nonsense Theory Time

I always thought that Bloom's wings in her magic winx form looked like butterfly wings. It might be a bit of a stretch, but that's what I've always interpreted them to be.

Right before she gets her fairy form she (and the rest of the winx) perform a spell that restores the butterflies to those weird eggs that the specialists thought was a good gift idea.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the actions and spells of a fairy before they unlock their fairy form determines what it is going to look like. The Magic winx form isn't predetermined. The fairy's actions shape them.

Going deeper here you could think more about the other girl's magic winx forms. Maybe Flora primarily worked with spells relating to flowers, which is why her magic winx form is primarily flower themed even though she is the fairy of nature as a whole. Maybe Stella used some spells that had to do with the number three or she saved three of something and that is why her wings are in three segments. Tecna saved someone from a hang gliding accident I have nothing for the other girls.

It's been a hot minute

Stormy drools in her sleep, Icy sleeps on top of the covers, and Darcy sleeps like a normal person.

Trix headcanon of the day #34

Pain!

(That's every headcanon) More specifically pain sensitivity and pain tolerance. This is physical pain for clarification. I also included what they do for pain vaguely.

Icy: She's not that sensitive to pain. I like to think that with her ice powers she is somewhat numb to pain, like how you ice an injury and it lessens the pain but doesn't completely get rid of it. She also has a very high pain tolerance. She would probably need to have lost a limb before she would even consider getting any kind of medical attention

Darcy: She is pretty sensitive to pain, but has a high pain tolerance and can hide it very well. She is more likely to try to handle any pain herself instead of seeking a medical proffesional.

Stormy: Also pretty sensitive to pain, however she has a much lower pain tolerance. You know she is in pain because she is complaining. When she is in pain she goes to Icy and Icy is the one who decides if she should just suck it up, go to an actual doctor, or if the sisters should try to find something out on their own. They usually try to have Stormy suck it up, but after twenty minutes of complaining Icy and Darcy try to find a solution.

Trix headcanon of the day #18

How their goals/lives would have changed without each other. Like if the other two never existed

Icy: For Icy not much would be different. She would still try to get the dragon flame and take over the dimension. I can see her being much more ruthless and bloodthirsty without her sisters. She would be more risky too, since she is only putting herself at risk. I don't think her story would really change until season 3, since Icy would not be competing for attention the same way.

Darcy: I don't think Darcy would be ambitious enough to try to take the dragon flame. I still think she would be manipulative, but she doesn't have any real motivation. She would still go after Riven, but eventually one of them would break it off and she would move on to the next man. This would create a cycle for her where she can't tell if she actually likes someone or if she just wants to manipulate them. Anyway. Angst.

Stormy: Without her sisters to guide her, I just imagine Stormy becoming a background character. She would still have anger issues, but I think without two strong personalities guiding her she would have a normal witch life. She wouldn't do anything remarkable, she would just be ordinary. She would be happier being normal.

As a kid I only had seasons 1 and 2 of the cinelume dub on netflix as I kid. I low key didn't know they made any other seasons until years. I grew up thinking they were sisters and didn't consider any other interpretation.

I watched the show with my younger sister and we both loved the trix. Sister relationships are special and evil sister relationships were better. Yes we are evil, but we also do sort of love each other maybe 40% of the time and care about each other about 80% of the time.

My sister was/is very similar to Stormy in personality and I would probably be more similar to Icy. Because of this the Icy and Stormy sister relationship has been my favorite to think and write about.

I just personally like reading and writing about sister relationships. I am totally willing to ignore evidence in favor of my happiness in cases such as this.

Even when considering an interpretation where they are not sisters, I still would want them to be related, like third or fourth cousins. I always thought it was interesting if fairies prioritized friends while witches prioritized family. I don't have a reason, I just like it

So anyway, yes, fuck the willow tree. I am going to choose to believe that was a translation error and live happily in my delusion forever

Trix headcanon of the day #6

Medical impacts because of powers: I just think it is interesting if characters with magic powers are affected by them in other ways, so that is what this is

Icy: Colder average body temperature, always gets fevers if sick (like she doesn't even have to be that sick, anything small can trigger it), gets overheated easily (so she stays away from sweaters and thick fabrics regardless of the weather), but is more resistant to colder temperatures (especially if transformed into her witch form)

Darcy: her eyes are very sensitive to light, which is why she wears the tinted glasses (other people have also pointed this out), She has really good night vision, I like to think her vision is total garbage during the day but at night it is 20/20, once again when in witch form the light effects her less

Stormy: Because of her powers she has epilepsy (because as my favorite she has to suffer), It affected her more when she was younger and couldn't control her powers as well, however she can still have seizures triggered by suppressing her powers or repressing a strong urge to use them (lightrock was fun), Icy and Darcy are very overprotective of her which she kind of likes and is kind of embarrassed by

Trix headcanon of the day #3

Icy and Darcy definitely did that thing where they told Stormy they were playing hide-and-seek and then just let her sit in a box for 2 hours when they were kids.

It wasn't until years later when she was bragging about her hide-and-seek skills only for Icy and Darcy to start giggling that she realized what happened.
