Favorite sister
Icy: Probably Darcy. She is much easier to get along with and more relaxed than Stormy. They are also more similar personality wise. However, she spends more time with Stormy and spends more time worrying thinking about her. Stormy is more reliant on her than Darcy is, and it is nice to feel needed. The both hold a special place in her cold twisted heart.
Darcy: Icy, hands down. Icy is reliable and isn't a complete Driven hater. She has a lot of faith in Icy. Meanwhile, Stormy is an overstimulating mess that she has to live with.
Stormy: Icy mostly because Darcy is always annoyed at her. She can tell Icy really cares about her and Stormy has a lot of trust in her because of this. She would be terrified to live without Icy, but life without Darcy would be manageable. She worries that without Icy, Darcy would have abandoned her a long time ago. Icy is the mediator between Darcy and Stormy
My brain was thinking that since Darcy and young Griffin look so similar, then an even younger Griffin would look like young Darcy too. So I drew traced her and her third cousin/childhood best friend. 3 guesses who it is (the eyes are a hint). Also even younger Griffin does not have glasses because I did not want to mess with it.
Oh and don't steal I guess
As someone who loves Stormy: how tf does she have a higher craftiness than Icy?
Winx Wiki is unhinged.
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
But why do they have the same proportions. The pixies becoming large just made me realize how big their heads were
This is why they called the spinoff Pop Pixie
I did indeed have that in mind
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.
Sleep schedules
Icy: probably the most consistent. Maybe 11:30am to 7:00am. She seems like an early riser. She thinks her sister's sleep schedules are ridiculous and looks down on them.
Darcy: The reason I made this post in the first place. A few people argued that Darcy doesn't sleep, which I do agree with. If she is lucky Darcy will get maybe three 45min-1 hour long sleeps throughout the day at random times. Typically one around 4:00am, One at 1:00pm, and one around 7:30 pm. Her sleep schedule varies that most with the time and length of these naps. (yes, it depends on Liliss lol)
Stormy: She sleeps from whenever her body gives out (around 2:30) to whenever Icy wakes her up (7:30 am usually). She has no control over her sleep schedule, she is at the mercy of those around her and her own body's limits.
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.
I find this photo of the trix so funny
Icy and Stormy are putting effort into posing, meanwhile Darcy is just holding out her arm
I keep imagining they were told to pose with the gloomix and Darcy just raises her arm slightly all "what more do you want from me?"
No effort was put in on her part and I think that's beautiful
Two years later and I finally wrote my first fic based on a head canon I posted almost two years ago
