The Deepest Fears of the Winx Club

See y'all in my nightmares.

Diaspro Deserved Better

INTRO:

I don’t think it’s controversial to say that I am sick of Diaspro. Or rather, I’m sick of how the show treats her. Ever since season 5, we’ve continually expunged her criminal record for the sake of dragging her back into the plot and generating needless drama between Bloom and Sky. It might seem like the obvious choice from a superficial glance, but if you go back to the first three seasons, you’ll find that Diaspro a...

How Nightmares Reveal Our Darkest Secrets (Winx Club)

INTRO:

So I was recently invited to join Lola Valentine over on the Winx Forever Podcast. For that episode, we went over the nightmare episode of season 1, and oh my god, it was such a blast. Thank you for having me, Lola, it was a wonderful time. If any of you are interested, I highly recommend you check it out through the links below, or on Spotify.

But covering that episode made me not only appreciate the 4Kids dub being bette...

Were We Too Mean to the 4Kids Winx Dub?

INTRO:

Out of all the Winx dubs, 4Kids seems to be the one people either tend to adore… or ignore. As the first English dub of the show, as well as the one distributed in most English-speaking regions before Nickelodeon came along, the 4Kids version was what many old Winx fans grew up with. So when the Nickelodeon version came along, casual fans who hadn’t come across the Cinelume dub online went “Wait, why did they change Layla�...

Why Winx Season 3 Is So Beloved

Why Winx Season 3 Is So Beloved

INTRO:

I’ve been talking a lot of crap about the newer seasons of Winx Club, and though that is definitely fun, I also wanna highlight parts of the franchise I really love. And so today, we’re gonna talk about season 3 - the season most Winx fans consider to be the best. We’re gonna go over why I enjoy it so much, and why it works so well.

Now without further ado, let the chaos begin.

Winx Season 4 Doesn't Quite Hold Up

Winx Season 4 Doesn't Quite Hold Up

INTRO:

Oh season 4. You were once my favorite, but you’ve dipped a bit as time’s gone by. I still appreciate the changes it tried to implement in letting the Winx grow up after graduating from Alfea, but… it could’ve been handled a lot better. And today, we’re gonna explore the problems of season 4, and maybe throw out some ideas as to what could’ve been more interesting. Partially because I wanna articulate my feelings, an...

The Worst Fights of Winx Club

INTRO:

We discussed the best fights of the Winx Club franchise, so now it only makes sense we dunk on the worst ones. And ooh gurl, we have a lot of material to work with. Most of these are from the more recent seasons, of course, but there are a few duds from season 3 onward. I don’t know what happened after the first season, but the combat just hasn’t captured the same charm it once possessed… much like a similar female-led sho...

Roasting Winx Season 7 for 4400 Words Gay

INTRO:

Rewatching the newer seasons of Winx have made me realize something: season 7 is in fact the worst season. I used to feel it was 6, but the more I’ve rewatched it for my rewrite, the more I’ve come to appreciate the season, flaws and all. At the very least season 6 lets me appreciate the Bloomix designs, and it at least has a plot. It’s contrived and boring as hell, but it’s something I can grasp onto to have a rough ide...

The Best Winx Club Fights

INTRO:

If there’s one thing you never wanna do, it’s piss off the Winx Club. When I was younger, one of the things that drew me to the show was the spectacle of the fights. I wasn’t used to seeing magic fights of this caliber in animation, let alone in a show led by women protagonists. As such, today we’re gonna take a look at the best fights of the franchise, and cry out for bloodshed. Because clearly, that is what stable peop...

Yelling About How Much I Love The Owl House (finally)

INTRO:

I’m surprised I haven’t talked about The Owl House before. It’s a lovely little animated series that features compelling storylines, great worldbuilding, and refreshing representation. I just really appreciate the work that Dana Terrace, the show’s creator, and her team have put into crafting the world of Owl House, and I wanna celebrate it at least a little bit. Especially given it’s being canceled while it’s in its...

How I Learned Blender (And Why You Should Too!)

How to learn Blender in five easy steps. Step 1: Delete the Default cube. Step 2: Rewatch the donut tutorial for the fifth time. Step 3: Abandon and cry. Step 4: Repeat the process. Step 5: Profit?

So as the title suggests, I’ve spent quite a bit of time learning Blender. For those unaware, Blender is a free, open-source 3D modeling program developed by the Blender Foundation. It has a very unique position in the world of 3D software. ...

The Hollow Absurdity of Kingdom Hearts

INTRO:

Kingdom Hearts feels like coming home. Whenever I’m feeling a bit down or like I need something lighthearted and wacky as a pickmeup, I’ll fire up either Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2 and barrel through the Heartless. It’s a nice alternative to screaming into the void about life. There’s just something about Sora, Donald, and Goofy’s misadventures through melodramatic fanfiction of the Disney canon that just speaks to my curse...

Ranking Every RED Song script

INTRO:

Red is one of my favorite Taylor Swift albums, and one of my favorite albums… ever. Granted, I’m still expanding my musical palate, but through it all, Red has stuck with me since my first listen, and Taylor’s Version has cemented its place in my heart as the song that reminds me that it’s okay to be a sad bitch every now and then. I’d honestly say it’s my third favorite Taylor album, with Reputation in second and Fo...

Castlevania Was Better Than It Had Any Right To Be

INTRO:

I recently rewatched the first season of Netflix’s Castlevania with a friend, and oh my god I forgot how much I love this show. Trevor being Trevor. The fourth season came out… nearly a year ago, wow. So I am very late to the party on this. Not to mention that since I’ve never played any of the Castlevania games, I felt a bit apprehensive to talk about the series, given I felt I couldn’t add much to the conversation. But...

Re-Ranking the Winx Transformations

INTRO:

Yep. We’re doing this again. It’s been a while since my last video on this topic, and my thoughts have changed quite a bit. And so I figured, why not redo this video and share my updated thoughts? Not to mention, I have sins to atone for, like being too mean to Believix, and being far too nice to Butterflix. Now without further ado, let the roasting begin.

I Can't Stop Talking About Encanto (and also Bruno)

INTRO:

“We don’t talk about Bruno!” But we will sing about him!

I really hope more people are enjoying Encanto now that it’s on streaming, because my god, I utterly adore this movie and its cast. And just like everyone else, I’ve had “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” on loop almost every day since I saw it with my friend. Fun fact: we were the only ones in the theater to see it. Which on the one hand, cool! But...

Welcome to the Grimm Boogaloo

The Silver Eyes Are Shallow

INTRO:

The Silver Eyes are not a very popular part of RWBY, and honestly, have never been. Though it was clear from day 1 they’d be important somehow, I don’t think the way they’ve been executed has resonated with most folks. Back in my pinkwashing era, I pretty much just used my own headcanons to make excuses for the show, projecting them onto the show the way a lot of RWBY viewers do without ever realizing. It’s the version i...

Behold the Most Underrated Winx Season script

INTRO:

When you ask a Winx fan what their favorite season is, it’s pretty rare for someone to say 2. And while 2 isn’t my favorite either, that makes me sad, because it’s definitely one of the best seasons, and was a great step-up from the first season in improving the story and giving all the characters more to work with. Notably, anyone who wasn’t a redheaded, flame-wielding Earthling.

Season 2 is the most underrated se...

Ranking the Winx Soundtracks

INTRO:

Music is a key aspect of the Winx Club franchise. While an alarming number of the songs are admittedly the same generic nonsense of the protagonists in fact being the Winx, and singing about friendship and how if you have no friends you’re trash, there are plenty of songs that do rise above the rest. And so, we’re gonna rank the major soundtracks of the franchise from worst to best, based on the soundtracks as a whole, and h...

What RWBY Can Learn From Taylor Swift

INTRO:

I think it’s safe to say that the RWBY fandom is still clamoring for the Volume 8 soundtrack. Since its beginning, the music has continually been the thing receiving the most praise from fans, oftentimes filling in gaps in the story that the show couldn’t be bothered with portraying itself. And admittedly, I was one of those people heaping praise onto the vocal tracks.

However… I also didn’t listen to a lot of othe...

Semblances Don't Matter

INTRO:

Penny’s breakdown of how Ruby’s Semblance works makes me wanna scream. It’s meant to be for comedy - which is already weird given this is meant to be a volume where the Big Bad is laying siege and about to kill us all - but it comes across as more clumsy than anything else.

Putting aside the fact we’re attempting to bullshit pseudoscientific reasons for how it works instead of just letting magic go unexplained (not...
