#gloomix

Thanks to the awesome @catarium, I’ve finally got some commissions for season 2 of Gravity Winx, featuring Mabel and Pacifica for now (Dipper and Wendy are coming later)

Mabel’s now armed with her Charmix item and her pixie partner is Cherie, the pixie of weather (Musa’s retconned pixie from season 6). Not only does Mabel get a boost in power, but she also gains access to weather magic as well (something Stormy is angry about because she thinks Mabel is stepping on her magical turf)

And Pacifica gets her own Gloomix item: a belt. This also boosts her powers like her sisters items, but they did not originate from Darkar since the Trix are good people. Instead, the Gloomix were gifted by Headwitchstress Griffin as a mean to help defend the schools from Darkar, the Anti-Winx Club, and all other threats from stealing the Codex fragments.

GLOOMIX TIME

(lore and symbolism under the cut)

(You said “ask again” so here you go)

Welcome my Tumblr! Here I am and thank you for asking again so I can provide full explanation.

Gloomix in Guarded had been separated into a TRUE gloomix and GIVEN gloomix. The one that had been received thanks to overcoming your fears exists without Darkar and works more similar to Winx gloomix. Has it's own spells and does strengthen the magic of the owner. For me Darkar's gloomix is more of a temporary solution. As long as he is alive and provides it, it is available to its owner but the minute Lord Darkar let's say dismisses them?

GONE.

Now onto the actual gloomix.

I can't draw but I know how to use powerpoint so here is a very raw presentation of it.

And some inspo behind it:

Why hand?

Significance both in the show and in the Guarded.

Darcy uses hands to create links, spell, often pointing either one of two fingers up like here:

Her hands are big part of her manifestation and projection of magic and in Guarded I made it even more about how sensitive she s about anyone touching them.

I do plan to explore giving Icy and Stormy their gloomix but I don't know when...

oh megatrix... i will never not think of you. i have a fic squirrelled away about them from last year which i never posted but. man. just imagine this; you and your sisters (by choice) accept darkar's gift because you never refuse power. you experience great heights through gloomix and it results in a fusion. maybe you knew what would happen and maybe you didn't, but for the entirety of that fusion, the singular i became the plural. the plural we became singular. it was always you. always i. always we and us and sisters together in one body, three separate minds melded together at the edges, sometimes in the middle, melting and solidifying. and then you/we/i are no more and separate. do the echoes remain? you knew each other well even before this, but now you/they/we/i/us am/are.

and they never talk about it or bring it up. but there's a quiet certainty that they'll never use this knowledge. of what they know of their sisters: their deepest fears, loves, their very way of thinking. it will never be heard from their lips but if they glance at each other with a smirk, a crooked grin, a raised eyebrow. they will know.

Trix gloomix

It’s not a lot for this one but I’m just doing some witch transformations right now so

Gloomix isn’t a real transformation it’s more like a booster. Darkar gives the trix sparks of his shadow flame and binds it to their bodies making them his minions sorta like a dark bloomix and also giving the trix power levels closer to a enchantix fairy level (so they can wipe the winx out) lol

Before I do my redesigns of Disenchantix, I just HAD to do my redesign of The Megatrix. I will be using they/them pronouns for The Megatrix because they are three people in one form and they are always referred to that way in the show. Anyway, I just LOVE how this turned out! I love the purple glow of the outline, the long loose hair that looks like it can be used to attack someone with, the fact that they have no mouth or nose and just three sets of eyes, the pointy ears, the Gloomix shoe colors being swapped from the colors of the arms, and the fact that the Gloomix gems still glow along with the glowing Megatrix. Darkar, you done made a BIG mistake betraying The Trix. I love how their magic turned out because I wanted to make sure it showed the signature colors of all three of The Trix. Blue for Icy, purple for Darcy, and pink for Stormy (The Trix are the colors of the bi flag lol) and it looks AWESOME, if I do say so myself. I hope you guys like it and comment letting me know what you think.

I love his original design, but I thought it was better to make a more human style

But with the way Darcy and Stormy scream in pain when gaining Gloomix I would of loved to see a physically violent transformation

That isn't jewelry on top of their skin, it's pushed though their flesh, and that that fucking hurts!!
