Okay… c'était super ! Encore une fois, la profondeur que tu amènes chez ces personnages, le lien avec leurs pouvoirs, leurs émotions… tu n'as pas peur de complexifier le sujet, et honnêtement bravo ! Parce que la vraie vie c'est ça, c'est complexe, pleine d'émotions difficiles à gérer, et de belles et mauvaises choses ! Aussi merci pour les garçons, ils ont un rôle à jouer la dedans et ça me fait plaisir que tu leur laisse un peu de moment pour briller aussi !
J'attends toujours avec impatience de découvrir tes rewrite, et je ne suis jamais déçu ! Love you Thomas, et merci encore de rendre justice à cet univers ! ❤️
Everything is so logical. I love the idea of the dramas between Musa and Riven being linked to the fact that Musa starts to be more feminine, making Riven uncomfortable and questioning what he really feel for Musa. This is very powerful and realistic and I love this exploration of the mental of the characters. I love the fact that Musa is fightning with a flute, it makes me think to the fight on Domino against the Yeti, Musa creating a barrier by playing her flute. And is Riven falling for Nex ? Ooooh love it. And using Banshee as the Silent Phantom is Amazing. I love the rewrite, congrats 💙💙💙
Looking at all this from a different perspective, I think it would be really interesting to look at why Bloom has been giving in to all her worst tendencies. We know that over the past seasons she isn't only very controlling (to be clear, I mean "there's more to her relationships with people than just that" lmao). She's definitely controlling and that's something that needs to be addressed, but it seems like she's been unintentionally cutting herself off from everyone who cares about her personally, and that definitely comes from *somewhere*.
Like, rn she's very alone. The person she loved/loves (and who loved her back) doesn't remember her, her closest friends don't remember her and are starting to actively dislike her, her mentee has turned away from her, her older sister is well and truly dead (no matter how small their relationship was), she's barely met her birth parents, she can't really talk to her adoptive parents, the first place she felt truly understood has been literally ripped out of the ground and is controlled by people actively opposing her, and now she's remembering a childhood friend she was forced(?) to forget. Girl is going through some shit lmao. And, while a lot of what she's doing is completely and utterly wrong, and the reactions she's getting are warranted, there's always an underlying reason for someone being so self-destructive. And it would be really interesting to explore that.
It would also be really interesting to see Bloom strike up a friendship with one of the specialists. By that I mean, specifically, Riven/Brandon or Helia/Nabu(I think he's back??), both for entirely different reasons lol. (one of the first two bc they've fucked up in their relationships (tho to very different degrees) and want to fix that, and one of the second two bc they're both fairly chill (tho for entirely different reasons) and they easily understood the, uh, developments in their relationships). Like, giving Bloom a different perspective from people who are going through something similar who also aren't bogged down by a lot of baggage between them and Bloom.
(sorry for how long this is and being so Bloom-centric. It was entirely accidental lol. I just wanted to think more about why Bloom is doing what she's doing from a different PoV T-T. Not write an entire essay about it)
Edit: also wanted to add that I love what's happening in the rewrite and I'm really looking forward to seeing where it's going <3
My personal favourite is Riven being coded as either gay or bi/pan, depending on where they take their relashionship with Musa. I still don't get why Bloom blushes a lot when talking or thinking about Stella and why Stella did the same about her before the memory loss. They were in love? Got a fling in some personal moment and cheated on the guys with each other? They fought and wanted to rekindle their friendship? Either way interesting story. Still I'd rather not have Stella break up with Brandon, they were a very good couple in the original, and one of the least toxic ones before Stella became a brat thanks to the creators. I wish she'd never treated him badly, she was really in love with him in the first few seasons, and they had so many moments showing their love for each other. Even in later episodes Brandon would drop everything and fly to Stella, cuz he thought she was in danger and needed help. Ruined moment by the crators beating Stella with a "dumb brat" bat, when it as absolutely not like her to do such a thing. Bloom however needs a break and some really good therapy to figure herself out. Trips to one set of parents or another once in a while, or throwing herself into danger do not count. Griffin has the right idea to challenge her and let her chase recovery, instead of avoiding it cuz of her fears. Musa really does deserve better than Riven, and Riven should figure himself out and maybe get himself a boyfriend. Nex is a perfect match, he, just a little bit too much like Riven. Meanwhile Musa should get someone who really does care about her and would encourage her to follow her desires and love for music. Maybe Galatea? But that would mean she eventually will become a princess as well and will not have time for her hobbies. Unless Galatea is not a crown princess and they can do whatever they want as royalty together. Also Musa embrasing non-binary identity would be grand. And Get Roxy some much deserved love, she doesn't need to be a seventh Winx, she can create her own club, with Blackjack and h***s. I have no thoughts on Selina, cuz I just do not like the character. She's giving me really weird vibes, and I do not know why. Thomas writes really good, I just don't like Selina. Good writing, just not my cup of tea, this girl.
I liked seeing the fan(?) art submissions in this video. What if you outsourced some of the image creation to fans so you have more images to include in your rewrite videos?
I love this rewrite, it sings to my queer heart and I'm honestly so invested and so attached. I love the careful exploration of our main cast's feelings and the shadow work they're all unintentionally/intentionally doing. I love the nuanced portrayals of therapy and therapists. I love all the queer rep we're getting. I love how much it draws on previous seasons while being it's own, beautiful thing. I just adore this, so much, and I'm so very grateful it exists <3
OMG YES IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR MORE EPISODES.THANK YOU THOMAS FOR GRACING US WITH 2 MORE EPISODES 5:07 BUT PIZZA DOESNT EXIST IN THE MAGIC DIMENSION REMEMBER???(Ik I’m being picky dw this is still amazing)
I really like what you did here with riven and Musa. I never really liked their relationship much (and I usually like shipping couples where there's a guy tsundere character). I thought they were really toxic together, but your writing brought me closer to them and made a lot of their actions make more sense. I think I ship them now!
Loved these episodes, I love Musa and Riven bonding and talking out their struggles with their relationship, them admitting their queerness is also really cool! I can't wait to discover the tea between Darcy and Nex!! <3
i think i may have missed episodes 7 and 8 bit confused about a couple things love how you’ve still kept parts of season 6 but made it your own in the re write!
Was not expecting Dark Bloom to be an ally. Loving this commentary about darkness or negative emotions not being necessarily bad and that it's healthy to work through those feelings.
I think Bloom exemplifies what happens when you give into toxic positivity and refuse to examine feelings of resentment, anger, sadness, etc. Selina is what happens when you let those feelings consume you.
Loving the lgbt rep. Growing up it was always odd to me that everyone in this show was depicted as straight. Like the magic dimension is fruity as hell lmao, you cannot convince me that most folks in Magix aren't bisexual and that gender variance isn't common lol. Faragonda and Griffin have been in an on-again-off-again relationship for years and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I'm really interested in what connection to Darcy Nex has? Maybe Darcy had a crush and made herself look like a man to win him over? Idk, if so I love the messiness.
As of now, I kinda wished Roxy didn't lose her memory. She can still be pissed at Bloom but it would be nice if there was one other person in the winx besides Bloom who has their memories. Maybe the others try to get the information from her that Bloom is withholding? Or she has a separate arc where she starts her own winx club?
As someone who actually attends music therapy I really appreciated the inclusion here. Sometimes feelings can just be really hard to express in words that expressing them through music becomes infinitely easier. Furthermore it’s a lot more fun so it also helps improve your own mood.
I'm v happy more people are open to the idea of Riven being mlm, because the way he was written in the OG Winx run was giving self hating gay/bi man who just wanted to be One Of The Guys^TM (aka straight) but never felt like he truly fit in.
I can relate to that.
I'd like to think that if we got Winx (sans Nickelodeon) in the 2010's, it'd have included explicit the LGBT rep that somebody at Rainbow desperately wanted to add.
Beautiful Story. Ecxactly what would have been needed in the show, for the new and the old audience! To grow means change , to fokus on oneself not only the others. To grow (up) as a group of Friends need conflicts like this, to show differences in Views, priorities etc. (Sry my english night be off.. no native speaker/writer) and also to find shared ones! Thank u for this rewrite ❤😊
I came up for a good name for one of Bloom spells fire twister. She would start twisting around aiming for her enemies when she hits them an explosion happens she can do this multiple times she can bounce up-and-down from. The ground and multiple enemies can get hit if she wants to. A conversion between Alicia and Stella would be a good idea cause if she's still in the ferry of the sun and moon she can help her by using. The moon cause the moon moves the tides of a lot of planets
Hmm interesting musa with the nonbinary characteristics an androgynous never really stood out to me as she just dressed like a tomboy girl never anything masculine I think during season 3 was when musa style change a bit with the long hair an new outfit, the Riven an Selena storyline with attraction an love for a friend of the same sex whether straight or bi or gay I’ve been there an it wasn’t easy getting over i but I’m still managing but overall this was an excellent rewrite I really wished they tackled this in season 6 but back then they probably wouldn’t have allowed it. Nice work once again makes me want to write stories again
LITSEN TO ME what if the creators make a spin off movie where ICY is the main character ( no more spotlight for you bloom🙄)
the plot : after the battle with valtor(season 8) the trix ask for help to the winx to help icy free dyamond from the curse of the witch that freezed dyamond
THAT WOULD BE INTRESTING TO SEE THE PERSPECTIVE OF ICY, AND TO SEE HER BACKSTORY AND MAYBE EVEN SEE THE TRIX BECAME GOOD AND EVEN BECOME THE FIRST GOOD WITCHES

I really love how all the Winx are experiencing new growth and character development ❤️❤️especially Bloom

Imagine after all the winx gain their memories, bloom loses hers and they have to help her
If the season 9 is not written with at least half this amount of quality i don’t want it.
Sometimes I wish this rewrite was on Spotify 😢
GAY!!!!!!! /pos
I'm excited for episodes 11 and 12 of this rewrite I'm loving the story Thomas
Loved these episodes, I love Musa and Riven bonding and talking out their struggles with their relationship, them admitting their queerness is also really cool! I can't wait to discover the tea between Darcy and Nex!! <3

Though I love your repaint of her outfit.I will always prefer the original,Musa can do purple too.Sorry Tecna
Me, banging the table – GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!! GAY RIGHTS!!
~ahem~

Amazing stories musa's episode the best episode ever for me and keep going❤💜💚💙💛❤💜💛💚💛💜💛💙

Thank u for this rewrite ❤😊
I can tell you just want non binery Musa lol😄
Also love how the others are annoyed with Bloom
wait a minute
flora gets her argonix first (magical flowers)
then tecna (digital powers)
and now musa (rhythms and tunes)
idk i have a feeling stella might be getting her argonix next
So happy that Digit & Tune are here & not the ones that I forgot the names of
Your updates always make my day. Another excellent one. Just one question though? Why aren’t u using ur own animation?
This was so amazing! I also love how Musa and Riven expressed their emotions and I got so happy and emotional, when Musa and Bloom reconciled! 💖🍀💖
I came up for a good name for one of Bloom spells fire twister. She would start twisting around aiming for her enemies when she hits them an explosion happens she can do this multiple times she can bounce up-and-down from. The ground and multiple enemies can get hit if she wants to.

LITSEN TO ME
what if the creators make a spin off movie where ICY is the main character ( no more spotlight for you bloom🙄)
the plot : after the battle with valtor(season 8) the trix ask for help to the winx to help icy free dyamond from the curse of the witch that freezed dyamond
THAT WOULD BE INTRESTING TO SEE THE PERSPECTIVE OF ICY, AND TO SEE HER BACKSTORY AND MAYBE EVEN SEE THE TRIX BECAME GOOD AND EVEN BECOME THE FIRST GOOD WITCHES
Wait is your channel named after the movie unicorn wars ? 💖
