Recently I made a post about genetic aspect of Winx parents and now I realized the age gap between some of them and...MUSA'S PARENTS ARE WILD.
Her father is much older than her mother and it's even more clear when you see flashbacks or just the photo from their wedding.
That's a young woman. She must be twenty or in her early twenties. Especially as a singer. Meanwhile Ho-Boe looks like he is in his late thirties.
I can only imagine how many expectations she had for herself to achieve success in music career. Thin, young, endless hours of work...if you also believe in my humble Blood theory:
"Such a pregnancy would be hard on the non-magical mother. Here, I mean nearly pure human. It can lower one’s immunity, cause a massive strain on the body, and even be life-threatening. Such pregnancies are rather rare, especially when both parents are human. It is recommended to avoid pregnancy with such drastic differences. Pure-blood human and pure-blood magical being. The pregnancy itself can be harder to conceive and even to carry to term. Constantly monitored, and the mother should go to regular doctor’s visits post pregnancy to make sure her health won’t decline in the future.
Unfortunately, in poorer families where such precautions cannot be made, a parent would fall deathly ill and soon die before the child reached adolescence. It’s not the child's fault but of the world that, due to the history behind pure blood, keeps such tales under the carpet and avoids the topic altogether."
Other families have no such jarring difference even more between dubbings.
In OG Italian dub her mother was an opera singer and her father was a musician. They weren't successful, barely meeting ends and with Musa's arrival money became even tighter. They could not afford medicine or any treatment which caused her mom to die.
In 4KIDS dub her father was a prince who escaped royalty to marry a FAMOUS singer. And it's during a tour her mom got sick and died. It loses so much depth in my opinion.
Even the song she sings in Show Must Go On episode has changed lyrics. In OG dubbing it was her own creation, to show she can be a singer and wants to share music with others like her mom did. In 4KIDS it's Ho-Boe song he made for her mom.
I love the OG song. I love the polish dub of it. It's just...amazing. It's everything to me.
I guess what I am trying to say is...Musa's story is one of my favorite especially in OG dub. It's sad, it's relatable. We see poor families and kids that want to escape the life they have. We see kids doing lot's of hard work to be the best. And Musa IS a nerd. She studies HARD.
Musa wants the love her parents found. In music, together, not carrying about money and with deep genuine connection. And Riven is just not that, nor is Jared or Jason. She dreams of love that will sweep her of her feet but like a strong pillar support her. A love that can be like a wild storm and calm summer wind. A love that can be as dramatic as kissing in the rain and yet be sweet like a first drizzle. Fight for her, be jealous of her, see as her as someone worthy of love yet at the same time she doesn't want to guess what you mean, be quiet and treat love as something that just is without any gesture.
She wants the love to strike like lightning but remain true and proud without asking for it.
I wish Musa the best in life.
