    Flora being Latina wasn't just a head canon. It's because Winx Club did that thing where they "modeled" characters off of real-life people (often from different ethinc backgrounds), and her inspiration was Jennifer Lopez.
    But honestly, we Brown people are used to having to "share" characters because of the lack of representation. I remember when Jasmine was every single Brown girl's princess because she was the only brown one.

    I'll be honest here. I don't like some of the outfits for the reboot. I don't think all the girls need pink on their outfits and some just plain don't fit the characters. However, I am excited for it none the less. And I REALLY hope they bring back Roxy some point in the show and not toss her aside again. I loved her so much and she was done dirty =^..^=

    What I love so much about Flora is that she's not the Spicy Latina™️ everybody and their mother were doing and still do to this day.
    Flora is kind, sweet and caring but that doesn't mean she's a doormat, if you dare to cross her friends you are dead meat.
    As a latina who's not hopping from club to club until 5 a.m (there's nothing wrong with that, but some ppl think we are all like that) I appreciate Flora for being the way she is.

    In my opinion, AI being used to help conceptualized scenes or charcaters and get the idea going is what it was MEANT to do for artist. Before the 'Ai Artist(thief)' start to use it to hurt artists, I remembered how excited my art community and I were. We were so hyped about the new ideas AI can give us and we then use that to help out with our concepts. We do all the work ourselves but with AI we can get all the bad ideas out of the way without needing to draw 10 thumbnails before hand.

    31:25 You know what could've been interesting? Making Helia the ONLY love interest that isn't a fighter. Won't that be an interesting arc for him? Not only that, but think of it as Flora and Helia trying to balance their time for school and their time for each other since they won't see each other as often compared to the Specialists. I don't know where is Helia's art school located, but I'm assuming it's kind of far? So while the two can have time to develop as characters individually, they can have struggles being in a long distance relationship. More time for growth for themselves AND as a couple

    Do you think you could do Aisha/Layla? She had so much potential in being a mermaid/fairy hybrid, and how she’s a parallel to Bloom, but the story kept having Bloom save her kingdom when Aisha should save her own kingdom, and with all the trauma she went through, such as Darkar torturing her and her having to adjust to life after that, being the savior of pixies, the struggles of an arranged marriage, losing Nabu and almost losing herself, her world being taken over by Valtor and then Tritannus, the way that she wielded the Sword of Neptune which hints at her being their rightful heir to both the undersea kingdom and the kingdom on land never being talked about, how Sirenix should have focused on her, but Bloom, and how Bloom and her are equal in power and how she taught so much to the Winx, about conserving transformations and depths of magic and they helped by being true friends to her, when she was isolated a lot as a child. She had a lot of potential and she was pushed aside for Bloom in scenarios where it would make sense to have her be the focus, similar to what they did with Flora. I adored Aisha’s unique friendship with each of the Winx. If you can’t, I totally understand! I loved this video, can’t wait to rewatch it!

      honestly i felt the same, that comment she made about head canoning Flora as south Asian simply cause she was smart was really rude.. She can head canon whatever she wants if its not official but just cause she's an all A student? Idk if she intended for it to be, but i feel like it was very tone deaf. All latina characters dont have to be "spicy." Every race is allowed to just be a person, regardless of whether it aligns with popular stereotypes. It doesn't have to be palatable or exciting as they'd like it. She can be shy and smart just like anyone else. This is my first video from this youtuber and she seems a bit out of touch with some things, or at least not very critical of her wording or opinions. I'm glad im seeing comments on this because that stuck out to me as soon as she said it.

      ​@@ickyvicky7139 That's not what she said, though. She said it was because her eye shape is the same as Musa's, and the "honor student" stereotype is just a bonus as to why she always thought she was meant to be Asian. And as when she watched the show she herself was a South Asian young girl, it's easy to see why she would read those cues as she did. Interpreting that as a slight against latinas is honestly a bad faith take.

    Also, it's not just diversity, but... like, imagine a girl who can control pretty much any natural process being a tad bit more aggressive. She would be a MENACE, even more than Bloom for a while - bc Flora grew up in world full of magic and she knows what she does
    Also I think her relationships with Helia was kinda cute - tho they really did wasted their characters at both sides: they could do better with how she fell for Helia, e.g. making it more of a slowburn (yea for me their ship was cute but felt a bit too hurried) or even add flavor of "friends to lovers" trope, and not enroll him back to Red Fountain with very, VERY little explanation
    Also: gaining confidence with help of Helia could be made into a stepping stone to her finding that confidence herself - bc it's kinda easier finding something in yourself when you have close support (since for obvious reasons her family bonds are distanced) then just by yourself. Luke "yes, my family-friends-boyfriend see that in me, I probably should look in myself more properly" and kinda that could be a helping push to full self-confidence (sorry if explained that part poorly)

    Dang now I really want to see seasonal variants to flora's costume
    I noticed, her crown is obviously a flower crown but what if that changes depending on the season?
    For example her spring crown could be cherry blossoms, daffodils and daisies the like and of course pink roses, here her crown would be full blossom all flowers
    her summer crown could flowers like zinnias, marigolds and maybe even hibiscus and I think that one would be more viney than floral
    I think an autumn crown could incorporate some autumn leaves similar to the laurel you gave Bloom and autumn roses (they have warmer colors) and have more twigs that look like curling branches
    Winter I'm not too sure but maybe her crown could have small fluffy like flowers like periwinkles
    It'd be really cool to see the hue of her dress change as well
    Fully pink in spring and summer (maybe more pastel in spring)
    Autumn could be a more red hue
    And winter would have muted shades of rose gold all still pink of course just different shades
    I also think it'd be cute if the roses on her dress in summer grow into maybe strawberries or just some kind of fruit
    (it reminds me of the strawberry dress and Flora would absolutely slay that look)
    Final note, I think in winter it'd be cool to see some frosty fluff on the edge of her wings like in secret of the fairy wings when the fairies use light frost to protect their wings

    I head cannon that Flora had quite a realisation when she was younger that she genuinely could do a whole lot with her powers but could also be very dangerous. It the reason she’s so mature. Honestly, with a darker personality and a lack of Dragon Flame BS she would be very feared in the magic dimension. But she curbed that shit hard and grew up quicker than most because as of great power and responsibility. It would have been nice to see stuff like that explored with her relationship with Bloom.

    Something I’ll always love is when kids who watched animated shows like Winx clubs grew up and Netflix was like “we made an updated version for adults!” We were just like “No! Give me more pretty magical fairies! Idgaf if it’s ‘mature’ or not, I never watched it because of that! GIVE ME PRETTY MAGICAL FAIRIES PR GIVE ME DEATH!”

    Can you do a redesign of the Winx’s Sirenix forms? They’re uniformed, which is one of the big issues with their designs. Believix was the form to have individual designs for each fairy. 🧚‍♀️ Also, they had a goth concept art of Sirenix!

    Listening to you rant and watching you draw has me wanting to try and design a Winx transformation of my own.
    maybe it's a bit too similar to Enchantix but. the current concept name is Soullix, because they're unlocking the truest part of not only their powers but themselves in general- their personalities, their entire lives, all fully realized. the point is that they're *meant* to look different from each other because they're *different people*, not just carbon copies or a transformation that has the same outfit just slightly recolored.
    Not quite sure what it'd look like or how they'd get it though yet.

I loved her, because the only other hispanic girl on tv was Dora, who I wanted to punch bc the pauses felt like an eternity for a little kid with adhd lol. I may not see myself as a girl anymore, but Flora still holds a special place in my heart! I love what you did with her ❤

    Flora used to be a character I was indifferent to as a kid, most likely because she was often sidelined, but honestly, after revisiting the show, she's become my favorite of the girls. I really love her personality, and i'm a really big fan of nature and elemental themed powers. Hopefully, in the reboot, she's given way more attention.

I'm 26 today and I added blond highlights to my long brown hair especially the front pieces and now I look like her ! so happy :D I'm North African and I always thought she looked like me but like a tanned version I was delusional lol

  • @BlueButterfly1134
    @BlueButterfly1134 3 месяца назад

    Okay this video inspired me so a litte ideas
    First of all Helia, now that I'm older I would really like the boys being not just love interests you can dive deeper to a character without necessarily giving them much screentime. So as for Helia's character initial premise was so good I think. Because I love artist characters and often in media they are depicted as depressed or not really succesful in their studies or shy. So having someone who was succesful but they decided to art because they just dont like violence (especialy even if they are a boy) and is someone who is confident (without being streotypical rude or flirty) would bring much more character diversitiy to the boys an in general loves art character. I loved the idea that he would continue the art school., but still friends with the specialists so maybe he comes to visit them when they have big events + winx wasnt just set in colleges. You can easily have him interact with Flora in for example magix.
    Secondly Flora, as someone who wants to study medicine I would love if they leaned more into that angle of her. Like she can be someone who works really hard, wants to help people, etc. And in my head she would be cool headed and kind at the same time (like a doctor she would be able to handle crazy situations where everyone would panic), but just because she takes a logical aproach in dire situations doesnt make her a emotionless character. I think it would breathe a new life to cold antisocial doctor troupe. And her and helia would flip the dynamic I most see in romance books ( girl being/ want to be an artist and boy being/ want to be a doctor) without necessarily making them streotypical "doctor" or the "artist"
    Like you said their relationship I think will be much better if we have the perspective of the both characters. And overall screentime/ relationship building (but not through stupid fights or jealousy )

    Tbh i think you would really enjoy the winx rewrite from Vathyskotadi on ao3. The way they handled all the winx and especially Flora in the first 2 seasons has been amazing so far. Also they did fix Flora and Helia's relationship.
    Also it has been a delight to see how much you have changed since your miraculous days

  • @therubyminecart5291

    Ooh we’re redesigning Flora, interesting. When I saw Bloom’s hair it looks way too long to me. Here’s my hot take…. Aisha is a hot headed and impulsive girl and they made it worse in World of Winx and season six and I honestly hated that because I kind of liked her character till I saw world of Winx and season six, princess or not Aisha’s character aside from losing Nabu isn’t good whatsoever she has way too much aggression and anger that she takes out on the Winx girls… what I’m trying to say about Aisha is that her athletic personality is annoying and it makes her character just suck afterwards

  • @poxidog
    @poxidog 4 месяца назад +2

    One thing I love about Flora is how indeterminate her race is. Yes she's based on a Latino musician/actress originally but she does have those EA elements, and as a white girl, my colouring in all aspects was closest to her as a kid too. I wish more fantasy stories mixed racial elements like that. Representation is important, but we're all human. Why would racial traits be distributed in another world the same way they are in ours? Let their races be unique too

    Actually I think Layla, Bloom,Stella and Roxy were royalty, while Techna, Musa and Flora are common folk. So before Roxy came in, it was pretty much even. I do understand That Flora has a lot of wasted potential and I like your design and Ideas for her a lot. I also like Helia for your, but your points on him make sense. I maybe would have brought him in post season 3 when the winx graduate, and Flora would meet him somewhere else, without the contest of the redfountain in place. Great…. and now you gave me an Idea for a fanfiction xD

    Season 5:Layla

    Bloom, Stella, and Layla were the only royalty in Winx. Musa, Tecna, and Flora werent royalty. Musa saves the Princess of her realm to earn her Enchantix. And we know basically nothing about Tecna's parents.
    (All my knowledge on Winx Club is from the first 5 seasons or so. I stopped watching soon after that because even season 4 felt gimmicky to me)

    I love Flora and during the duration of the Winx Club series i was so dissapointed that she was so overlooked. That's one of the main reasons why i adore the Fate: Winx Saga Netflix reboot. She got so many spotlight after her arrival in season 2 and was crucial to the plan to overcome the evil guy. She was treated by Terra kinda how she was treated by the studio that made her in the first place, she was constantly underestimated and overlooked. I love how it was acknowledged to be a problem. The show is far from perfect but this is one of the things they did right.

  • @ThatOneLadyOverHere
    @ThatOneLadyOverHere 4 месяца назад +1

    I also loved Flora! I think it was because she looked like me (I'm not hispanic, or asian, but I do have long brown hair) she was super sweet and nature. But also, I genuinely cannot remember if she was the one I said was my favorite or if it was Techna because purple. Sometimes things are just that simple when you're a kid. It's either she looked like me or wore my favorite color, I'll never know.

    If you want a more mature Winx club i recomend "Veiled Wings and Shattered Panoramas" on Ao3 it's a re-write in a more mature way and with less plot holes, like the Helia re-enroll or how Riven trusted Darcy on day one, amongst other things.
    It's currently on season 4 and the writer wants to go at least to season 6

  • @Amanda-zn7ox
    @Amanda-zn7ox 3 месяца назад +1

    Aro-ace Flora with a maternal love for everyone seems like it would be an excellent fit for her. Gives her a Mother Earth personality. To be fair, I also had a crush on Helia. 😅 Specifically the 4Kidz one, partially because of his soft voice. 4Kidz is my headcanon, cause Cinelume was just so bland and the voices were lacking in expression. Go watch Unicorn of War's video on if the 4Kidz is arguably better.

    38:39 I'm honestly really disappointed we never really found out what happened to Tecna in the Omega dimension. Like wouldn't it be interesting to see how it impacted her through nightmares and flashbacks? That would be an amazing way of developing her character if done right. Even tho she is my personal favorite I can also admit that she is one of the worst written and most neglected of the girls.
