That was one of my fav episodes, what’s better is the spell to make him see her as her normal self didn’t even work, this whole time he saw her “ugly” form
that part was cute, but he also like never stop flirting with other girls, and she never stops flirting with other guys. Their relationship was very cheaty
I feel like after Nabu passed Aisha should have stayed single, she already proved that she doesn't need a man to be happy and tbh not all winx need to have a boyfriend or romance drama. It's okay to be single and enjoy your life drama free, you can still be happy.
Agreed. Or to have her being single for at least one season, would have been great. Having her healing through her friends and then, next season, introduce someone who would have been her love interest, as it would touch an important topic. When your lover dies, is it ok to move on from the love you had ? Is it betraying them or not ? Some people would feel like they are betraying the one they loved and lost. But, moving on is also a part of life. You would only betray them, if you forgot them forever, but they will live in you and would wish for your happiness. It is for example, what lead to most of the love triangle drama in Inuyasha. Kikyo died after basically putting him in a coma, then few... months (?) after he woke up, she is brought back to life, but Inuyasha was also starting to move on, though it was hard... that what lead to him being torn between Kikyo and Kagome... Plus, neither of the two women he loved belonged with him. One is dead, the other is from another Era...
i kinda disagree, im sick of always seeing the black girl not having a romantic partner or something tragic happening to them while everyone else can be happy so even though its cliche, it's nice to see that there are always more fish in the sea for her. That being said, the boys aisha was shipped with are so annoying to me id rather her be single-
They should’ve kept Helia as a pacifist I think that went really well with his relationship with flora-also his drawings coming to life as a bird to flora was really cute
My favorite Winx girl has always been Flora, I genuinely loved her a lot, and seeing her with no romantic pairing wasn't even an issue to me, idk I felt like she was great by herself already. But man, when I first saw Helia... it wad love at first sight again, and I just wanted them to be together no matter what. Curiously, I believe both represent the types of men and women that I tend to fall for lmao so I guess they're part of my bi awakening journey. I loved that they were wholesome and without all of that drama. At the time I didn't even understand why Musa and Riven were together anyways.
Agreed! I just loved how comfortable these two were together. Also, I am glad their relationship was not solely built on ridiculous teen drama. Of course couples will have their differences and it's important to show that but these two just fit well together and are able to work past it. They really are wholesome and I welcome such a healthy relationship.
I love flora aswell love her nature powers the colors green and pink like I love green my favorite color I don't like pink, she is a latina love her looks and outfits. Helia the best guy love them together.
What I really love about Flora and Helia is the fact that we get to see the period before they start dating unfold, it doesn't feel like they are paired together by "default". Yeah, obvioulsy they are made for the other, but there are doubts and it takes a whole season for them to gtet together, which i really enjoyed ! Nabu and Aisha are a close second, but it's because i am a sucker for ennemies to lovers lmao
Remember the time Helia was introduced and he subdued a monster to protect Flora and then immediately let it go afterwards, my boy really went: Helia: I’m here to save Flora, no one else 😂
I really think fan don't give enough crédit to Timmy. You should have mention the Time he was the only one who tried all the things he could to save Tecna when everybody tought she was dead And gave up on her(Even the Winx gave up!) ! He should have more appretiation. Too Bad that Even the Winx writter don't give them enough appretiation And don't do enough interessing things with them As a little boy, he was the one I prefered because the others specialist were too perfect, too "idealised". I felt that Timmy was Closer than me. He was smart, he was Shy And unsure of himself but without him, the other specialist are nothing
I loved their relationship, they seemed so realistic, they genuinely liked to be around e/o, not much stupid drama, had the same interests so they had lots to do together as well, and Timmy did everything he could and more to save her when no one else believed that there was a chance. Idk why people don't like Tecna, maybe her tomboy-ish design and interests made people not like her as much?? She was a good character anyways
Same I was shocked that he put Timmy and tecna so low, the reason I click this video is because I'm curious where Timmy and tecna are in top three spot.
Well that is just not true. Just because Sky was in engaged with Diaspro when they met it dosen't meen their relationship is based on a lie. As a matter of fact Sky and Bloom started dateing AFTER the end of season 1, yes they did like eachother before the Diaspro incident but Sky didn't made any move on Bloom, they were just good friends. And Sky was never in love with Diaspro any way.
@@nuotatorre8741 Keep in mind, at any time Sky could’ve told Bloom that he was engaged. Bloom caught feelings, she attacked Diaspro FIRST & not once did she apologized.
@@Karlos1234ify Well no. Sky could not tell Bloom he was engaged since he was swaping identity with Brandon to avoid terrorists attacks. And is it somwhow his fault than Bloom fall for him? Also yeh Bloom should have at least apologized for the incedent (maby she did it off screen), but she did have legitimate reasons to attack Diaspro, she belived than Dispro was a Trix/was ploting with the Trix since she could not make sense at why she was calling him prince when she thoght he was not a royal. From Bloom's POV there are 3 powerfull and evil criminals on the loose known for manipulating peopole for their befit, than a random girl aproches one of your firends and apparenty starts to talk nonsense with him and he dose too. What is your first thoght than he is being manipulated by the criminals or than he is a prince who swaping is idienty with his firend to evoid a terroirst attack and that tha girl is is fiance?
I agree @Karlos1234ify, saw no apology or no major punishment when she did that crap. She had no proof that Diaspro was a witch and attack a princess out of nowhere, yeah Bloom doesn't get a pass from me. Plus, both she and Sky became very annoying and are my least favorite characters
@@RikaRieGaming Bloom had no proof than Diaspro was a witch but she was rightfully suspicius. Considering Sky and Brandon's idendity swap the whole thing was just a big missundrastanding. Also rushing in to things is bloom bigest character's flaw, she did not end up in trouble for it that time but especialy in season 3 it did cause her a lot of problems. Also yeh Sky and Bloom become very annoying after season 4
My favourites: 1) Aisha and Nabu: they will always be superior to me, their love story was so interesting from the very beginning and was just so pure and beautiful. The scene where Nabu passes, will always make me cry. I think they truly loved each other and were made for each other. 2) Tecna and Timmy: sure, they were a bit like an old-married couple but to me that just proves that they have a very healthy and stable relationship. Their story is also super interesting, especially in season 3 when Tecna is sucked up into the Omega Dimension and Timmy dedicates his entire life to trying to get her back even when everyone else loses hope. 3) Flore and Helia: they are just so sweet together and they're both very similar types of people without being identical characters.
I think Darcy and Rivens personalities actually fit together. Okay hear me out. Darcy is clever and quiet. She does the work done behind the shadows being manipulative rather than being aggressive. On the other hand Riven is not the smartest but likes to show himself. He thinks he is better than others. In short I would love to see them as a couple villain after season 1. Riven still going to red fountian for his training but being evil. (Turning a good character into bad could be add variety to the show) With Darcy making the plans using dark magic and Riven helping her in physical strength way. (Though I love trix as triplets) (Also Musa deserves a better partner)
In the comics where the Trix first meet the Specialists, when Stormy uses her magic to attack Riven, Darcy freaks out like crazy and is concerned for him. I think in the comics, Darcy definitely had feelings for him.
@@joshwillis2879 YESS in that one comic one of the sisters hurts him. Then the dialoge goes; Darcy: “That was to much! I don’t want…” Icy: Don’t be silly, you aren’t worried about that silly boy, are you?! Darcy: Don’t call him that! He is not like the others! Icy: Hey down! Does he mean so much to you?”
The animation changes is giving me whiplash. 😅 My personal vote for healthiest couples are Brandon/Stella, Flora/Helia and Tecna/Timmy. Heck even throw in Bloom’s parents.
@@sugariehailey3339 Exactly, nothing matched or even seemed coordinate other than the dress stells makes and the tiara bloom gives her. The musical shoes weren't that bad as it ties the blue and pink together but, flora's bouquet seemed so random and Aisha's morphix ribbon didn't coordinate with the blue/light blue dress
Flora and Helia are really the best couple! They are made for each other..and their relationship is so healthy also romantic..I love how both are sensitive and have similar personality..definitely couple goals for me🥰
Thank you for pointing out the blur left of Darcy’s feelings for Riven because it’s still so unclear for me- i like to consider that when the trix became kind of crazy around episode 20, her somewhat feelings for him fade away because of her power hunger.
I honestly would have loved to see Aisha be and independent person after season 4. Don't get me wrong, i think that aisha and nabu were cute together, but it would have been a great message to kids that you can be a strong person without an SO. Maybe it's because i'm aro and it would have been cool to see a character that doesn't have a love interest/SO and can still be an awesome character. Her relationship with roy and nex just seemed really forced and the weird love triangle just felt like a poor attempt by the writers to make Aisha's story in the later seasons more interesting.
Ngl i wish she had like 1 season where she was with no one and her and musa were independent but i still liked Nex and her as he acted tough but always had a soft spot for her
If you want a character to be single it should be bloom or musa or tecna. It’s weird and sadistic to kill off the only black girl’s love interest and not give her any romance after.
@@lancecorporalrivaille5971yeah I agree with this and I don't get why more people don't point this out. Aisha and Nabu had BARELY started dating when they killed him off and then Aisha gets stuck with guys who aren't worth it. I also don't get why bloom was able to save skye but not Nabu? Not cool to make the only black girl lose her bf and then be stuck being single. I honestly liked season 2 when her and Musa were single and would chill with each other. Would have preferred that over them both being in toxic relationships
@@pieckgfinger ok but their relationship in s1 was interesting and they genuinely had good chemistry… in later seasons Riven just becomes a hardheaded jerk rather than the bad boy with a soft heart he was supposed to be. Riven x Musa had potential.. and it was absolutely wasted. Don’t hate the couple, hate the writers. ((Edit: Darcy and Riven had ZERO potential. It’s a ship that was only used as a plot device for the story to move forward. Darcy even waits until the Trix start getting rid of the Winx 1 by 1 to finally tell Riven she was using him 💀 why not just let Riven figure it out at that point?))
@@lanAdraHrepuS yeah it had potential, but i’m not hating on the couple tho- It’s just weird to read sentences like “I ship them and i love them even tho their schemes are toxic “ and stuff… Weird.. This sentence wouldn’t pass if it was an irl couple so why stanning a toxic thing?😭 Also, Darven is a waste as well.. it had so much potential.. more than rIvUsA
Sameee Musa and Riven became very toxic in the later seasons but it was one of the more entertaining relationships to watch for y'know. Bloom and Sky always felt so boring to me as a kid, I always got so excited whenever Musa and Riven moments were on screen and then they broke up 🙂 My kid heart was so disappointed but it's understandable, the two of them just had to go their separate ways
1. Aisha and Nabu - they really seemed kind of perfect, and they had an interesting beginning. 2. Stella and Brandon - they seems like the most real, balanced and believable couple, they're not afraid to call each other for their mistakes and when they have issues they try to work on them. Also both of these characters are bit stereotype so see them together and see there's much more into them is great. 3. Tecna and Timmy - they really are like old married couple, they're cute together. Both are geeky introverets who struggle to show their emotions and together they learn how. 4. Flora and Helia - they're good fit for each other, both are more connected to their sensitive sides. There were few unnecessary conflicts but they're cute and work together very well i'd say. 5. Bloom and Sky - they got annoying very quickly, their relationship started as a lie and then a lot stupid stuff happened. After season 4 both characters got annoying and their relationship even more annoying. 6. Daphne and Thoren - they're sweet together but absolutely rushed, i enjoy them together but that wedding was stupid. 7. Aisha and Nex - they have similar personalities but Nex is jerk only little bit less than Riven. IDK i'm not a fan of this relationship. 8. Icy and Tritannus - they both awful people so it makes sense why they together and during season it was showed they both cared about each other but it was all so rushed and out of character for both that i can't put it any higher. 9. Aisha and Roy - there was never mentioned if they a real couple and then love triangle with Nex. I think they would be great couple but again we don't know if they were really together. 10. Musa and Riven - their relationship was absolutely toxic, they have some really amazing moments together but their relationship is really toxic and they should broke up already in season 4. Musa deserved better. 11. Riven and Darcy - Were they a real couple? Did Darcy like him or was she only using him? Was Riven only under her spell or really liked her? You can't even tell if they're real couple. I don't like that writers were pushing Aisha to be in a relationship after Nabu, like why? Love triangle with Roy and Nex was absolutely annoying and stupid. No Aisha and Roy, no Aisha and Nex, Roy and Nex should've been a thing - they would be perfect couple.
Yes, thank you. Bloom & Sky relationship was built on a lie. Not to mention Sky was STILL engaged to Diaspro. Yet he kept Bloom around as the side / main chick. The whole beef between Bloom & Diaspro, got started because Bloom SHOT first.
Musa and Riven will always be my favorite couple, I know the share a toxic behavior and maybe not-so lovey dovey personalities, but then I remember that they are the most realistic (as realistic you can be in a kids series about fairies) in terms of first relationships, first love even. They technically grew up together and with their relationship, they were not and are not perfect and ultimately could not achieve the "perfect couple" with no toxicity like Flora & Helia but they tried, they did do something to change the actions that were keeping them apart, they went through a lot of nasty thing together and supported each other in the end, accepting that they were not always right because both Musa and Riven share this personality trait of "pride" so yeah, toxic couple, kind of a childhood couple, I love them all, but Musa & Riven are just something else for me xD
@@100xfun5 and Flora and Helia, they were my comfort too🥺 (literally so cute) But then again, it was like a representation of what you expect of love relationships in your teenage years and then Musa & Riven were the movie trailer of the reality 😂 (For me at least)
I agree and when they gpt back together in s8 i felt happy for musa many ppl dislike me for this but I actually like Aisha and Nex especially in s8 in s7 he was Riven2.0 yet nicer
Tecna and Timmy, Aisha and Nabu, Flora and Helia. Always the top couples of the show for me. And I love Stella and Brandon too. They were like the most relatable couple.
I love Helia and Flora they are by far the cutes couple and when Flora tells Helia she loves him in season 2 is an amazing moment in the series as a whole.
Okay, so I respect your list BUT here's mine: 11. Aisha & Nex (aka Riven 2.0 hopefully we don't see him again in the reboot) 10. Daphne & Thoren (HOW YOU GET MARRIED BEFORE BLOOM!) 9. Musa & Riven (TOXICITY AT ITS FINEST) 8. Icy & Tritantus (Lowkey irked me. "TRITANTUS! HELP!" Icy's voice. 7. Darcy & Riven (Even though, he was hexed.) 6. Tecna & Timmy (Not much to say.) 5. Aisha & Roy (should've been him over Nex) 4. Flora & Helia (Had it not been for s5 they'd be ranked higher but Princess Krystal being all up on Heila and him saying she's just a friend rubbed me the wrong way.) 3. Bloom & Sky (They started out on a lie but turned it into something magical.) 2. Aisha & Nabu (An arranged married that would have lasted forever but the writers killed him) 1. Stella & Brandon (perfect for each other) Honorary: Professor Avalon & Professor Palladium
Techna and Timmy have a place in my heart. When I was younger I was never fond of the boys and the romance always cringed me out but they were by far the chillest couple. I just enjoyed how normal they were and loving without being too dramatic
I’m so happy Flora and Helia got the gold! Actually your top 3 are mine too! 1. Flora and Helia- I really love how they’re so perfect for each other, both are more sensitive and pacifistic of their groups, and are both too shy to admit their feelings for the other. I really love how Chatta kept at it in Flora finally going for it, especially in the 4Kids version when she’s too worried about saving the Flower (Tree) of Life, Helia tells her heart has a lot of power, which is what allows her to break through her insecurities, letting her grow as a fairy. But also the Rai version of him indirectly saying “I love myself too” is hilarious 😆 Also 4Kids wedding joke was so hilarious, Flora is already getting married in her head and accidentally got the spell in class wrong by saying experdelohelia instead of helion, which made it fit better why her friends were laughing so hard, they could tell what she was thinking of. But yes I do appreciate the Krystal drama and S6, showing even a perfect couple can have misunderstandings. Also I can’t help but adore the dance in S5, if only Helia’s ponytail was in it 😫 2. Stella and Brandon- I agree, they weren’t my favorite at first, but I really love Brandon as a character. He genuinely loves Stella and isn’t dating her because she’s a princess, and isn’t afraid to be honest with her when she’s taking things too far. I also really loved the Mirror of Truth story, with Stella convinced he and others only liked her beauty, but he truly loves her, warts and all, even admitting the spell wore off. Mitzi drama was annoying though 3. Leila and Nabu- OMG, both are actually probably the most mature couple. I really love how she didn’t need a boyfriend, so she actually hated him at first, but eventually when she got to know him realized how similar they are. I do love he and Helia are the only two guys that don’t get insanely jealous over Andy and his friends, showing their maturity in comparison to the rest. I kinda get Pocahontas and John Smith vibes from them as unfortunately they were forced to sacrifice their happiness for the greater good of Earth and its fairies. I was so shocked and mad watching Nabu die. 🤬 Why couldn’t it have been Riven instead?! 4. Bloom and Sky- overrated. The bulk of their relationship is literally focused on Diaspro being turned into an immature jealous brat who refuses to let go of Sky. If Bloom wasn’t so immature and jealous of this everytime and simply learned to ignore Diaspro’s antics, it’d be a lot better. Something else that bugs me is Sky wouldn’t actually say no to Diaspro. Like it gives me that icky feeling of “Let’s invite her to the wedding because she’s still an old friend of mine” YOU DON’T INVITE AN EX TO A WEDDING, that is a recipe for disaster. Like I hate how Bloom got mad at him in S8, when it was Diaspro who completely lied to him to prevent him from even contacting her to say he was on an important mission. Used to love them, but it got tainted with this sickening and overused love triangle. Also I don’t like how their relationship was based on a lie, at least in 4Kids it does show a couple of times Bloom is worried about if he still likes Diaspro or not in S2 5. Tecna and Timmy- they’re an adorkable couple! My only problem is Timmy is basically the male version of her, and I feel a majority of their relationship is based on forcing them to put their phones away and just have a good time. The date in S5 felt more like a first date thing than talking to each other in the flesh. I still love Timmy’s shyness to impress her, and in S2 Tecna learns to accept him as he really is instead of getting frustrated he’s too nervous to ask her out and stop treating her like a computer, but treat her like a girl. 6. Roy and Leila- I really do like them as a couple, but I feel there’s not really any personality to him aside being a good guy who can use magic too. If it was more fleshed out, who knows. 7. Daphne and Thoren- Yes, I cannot stand how she got to be alive again, but not Musa’s mom or Nabu. I kinda like how Daphne has a more insecure side despite being a powerful fairy. I feel she’d be more like Elsa, given her stark blonde hair and Bloom having red hair like Anna lol. But no, she only spent like half a season with this rando and agrees to marry him, despite he’s never even met Oritel and Miriam. Nor does it explain is he even a royal from Erakleon or not. Also I thought Sky and Bloom were supposed to be the future king and queen of Sparx (Domino) and Erakleon. 8. Leila and Nex- I don’t get why her personality went from sweet and a little shy to being kinda bossy and headstrong in later seasons. I always felt he was a jerk a lot of times, especially to Roy in an attempt to make him look like an idiot in front of her, and he never actually apologizes for being a dick either. Worse is in S7 when Riven left, he kinda became his replacement for the immature boyfriend. At least in S8 he was really supportive when she was freaking out over a major speech. 9. Musa and Riven- It pains me so much to put my favorite fairy in last. I always loved her as a kid, but always hated Riven. They have very poor communication, which further adds to their relationship drama. Like in S3 when she contemplated about breaking up, its Helia who tells Riven instead of her. And in the motorcycle scene, she even snapped at him for arguing with her about his bike malfunctioning. In S4, I do love how they finally broke up, with him blowing up nearly every time she even looked at another guy. I do love how Jason was genuinely a good guy who handled the situation maturely and just wanted to help her. I still say Riven should’ve died instead because it would’ve been the perfect way to show that he truly loves and cares about her, but also fix his stupid obsession of beating Sky in a duel by him becoming the hero of the Earth fairies. Also it would’ve been interesting to how Musa took losing another person she deeply loved, not to mention her powers are rather deadly in an ice realm. In S6, I don’t get why Riven got reset to being an arrogant jerk again, and flat out kept ignoring her, like it took her snatching his stupid toy for him to finally acknowledge her presence. He just brushes her off to keep practicing. Then he runs away when she loses her voice instead of say making another song in an attempt to cheer her up. At least the breakup here was organic and mature with them finally acknowledging they can’t keep doing this. In S8, I really hate how Musa was portrayed to be a brat who was mad at Riven for not contacting her, despite S6 made it obvious he was going off the grid for a while. I would’ve loved to see them having a mature discussion of them agreeing to just be friends, no more trying to keep trying to get a toxic relationship to work. Like better to love each other as friends than trying to force something to work and later on hating each other. *Don’t really have anything for the Trix aside the juicy love triangle for Valtor and Lord Darkar. Tritannus was beyond annoying and I agree. Icy was like a love sick puppy, loyal only to him over Stormy and Darcy. What happened to my queen bee from 4Kids?! Also with Riven and Darcy, I actually ship them a lot more than Musa and Riven. Like I always felt Darcy truly did kinda have feelings at first for him, but upon receiving godlike powers, kicked him to the curb.
@@Luffy-gh7mr Musa is my favorite fairy, specifically 4Kids for me. Sorry but I’ve never liked Riven even as a kid. Favorite for me is a tie between Brandon and Helia, and also Nabu.
Omg finally soneone who isn't into the musa and riven drama. As a kid I was so annoyed that 90% of their screentime together was fighting with each other or getting angry.... but on the other hand I was a total riven and darcy shipper before I even knew what shipping is, lol. Your two faves are also mine. 🙏 Stella and Brandon went through a lot alone in the first three seasons and it really shows how deep their bond was. Also Flora and Helia are literally so damn cute together. I can still relate to Flora's shyness in s2.
I gotta say, there are moments when I really love Sky and Bloom. Especially in the movie when he calls her "his sweet" or "his bloom" it's just rly lovely and so romantic.
I like the idea of Darcy and Riven being villainous while loving to each other--of course, this exists independent of the universe where Riven overcomes his trauma, is no longer toxic, and is with Musa.
1.) Flora & Helia (I love their personalities & they're obviously made for each other! I think they have the healthiest relationship 🥰) 2.) Layla/Aisha & Nabu (I like their story, even when the beginning was a little awkward. They're both so passionate people. I really was heartbroken when he died ... ❤️ ) 3.) Stella & Brandon (They're perfect match & I like that their more than this stereotypical couple + I love their emotional sides! ☀️) 4.) Tecna & Timmy (They're both sensitiv & special - that's why they're meant to be. I think their a cute & caring couple! 😊) 5.) Bloom & Sky (I love them and I think they're a good match, but I think that their relationship had a lot of problems to solve and in direct comparison to the other couples they're not the best! 🔥) 6.) Daphne & Thoren (They're really cute & so beautiful together, but their story is a little bit to rushed and their relationship was to cursorily, they could have done better work! 💕) 7.) Musa & Riven (Sometimes they're really cute, but at least their relationship is so toxic. Musa deserved better! 🎶) I would prefer Layla & Roy over Layla & Nex, but it was all way to rushed for Layla to fall in love again after the death of Nabu. And this f*cking love triangle - so unnecessary!👌🏻
@@sonjariikonen128 I agree. Bloom and Sky aren’t that bad of a couple even though their relationship started on a lie, they have some very cute moments and I think they’re a good couple and their relationship isn’t as toxic as everyone says it is for me.
my ranking: 1. stella and brandon hands down! they had the potential to be stereotypical, shallow and pretty much terrible but the writers managed to give them amazing depth. my favorite parts of their story in the earlier seasons was when stella was prepared to risk her life (and she did risk it actually) to save brandon from downland in season 2 and when brandon supported and loved stella after she was turned into a monster by cassandra in season 3 2. tecna and timmy I think they're so underrated! tecna is not my favorite winx and timmy is not my favorite specialist (even though neither of them is my least favorite either, that would be bloom and riven) but I really really like them together. they fit amazingly, they help each other be more open about their feelings and I will NEVER forget that part in season 3 when he kept looking for her and for a way to save her when everyone had given up because they thought she was dead...that was honestly amazing to witness 3. aisha and nabu they had the most interesting and different beginning and they really fit well, their dynamic was nice and of course, me being me, I also enjoyed the angst of nabu's death even though it broke my heart 4. flora and helia they're pretty sweet and fit well with each other, what with both of them being very in touch with their emotions and their more sensitive side. I just think they were not that exciting or interesting, I find them a bit boring 5. darcy and riven idk they deserved each other and honestly I could see them working out pretty decently with their personalities. idk I do not feel strongly about them, I just put them here because of how strongly I dislike the couples that come after 6. bloom and sky booooooring omg so much unnecessary and repetitive drama 🙄 and the fact that their whole story started with a lie? yikes. also the fact that to me bloom is the most annoying of the winx and sky is the most boring of the specialists does not do them any favors, sorry. literally the only moment of theirs I like is when bloom saves sky's life (or brings him back to life? I can't remember) in season 2...or it could have been season 1, I can't remember that either lol that's how much I don't really care about them, sorry 7. musa and riven I don't even have a lot to say about them, he was a dick, their relationship was toxic and it just downright...sucked. the constant push and pull was annoying and irritating and frustrating and I don't even like musa all that much but she definitely deserved better (I watched up to season 4 only so idk about the rest)
Can’t agree more on Bloom and sky, literally season 1-5 got me so mad, like everything was about bloom and sky like.. and in season 5 Bloom was being a little too extra about the memory thing as if her relationship hasn’t been on the verge of crumble in the past seasons. and yes Bloom is THE MOST ANNOYING WINX CHARACTER..😭
In season 8 Musa and Riven got back together after like. couple episodes of saltiness from Musa(he deserved it)That scene was Darcy trying to manipulate him to attack Musa and stuff I'm glad Musa got a break from a man tho
I agree I’m not sure about the number you put Flora and Helia though as I found them quite cute but I definitely agree about Bloom and Sky they are like the most annoying couple on Winx Club ever especially Bloom if I’m being honest despite everything she did I still think Sky and Diaspro would’ve been a better couple. Can’t believe I used to like Bloom when I was little. Well to be honest Sky isn’t that bad as he can be sensible sometimes like it’s just Bloom who’s the problem like I remember a few episodes when Sky had to go on missions with the rest of the specialists and the specialists told the Winx it would be too dangerous for them and all of the Winx agreed apart from Bloom and Sky had to try and convince her to stay and I actually remembered how many times in Season 5 or any Season has Sky had to try and calm Bloom down from her childish and annoying outbursts but I do agree with you and I wished Sky and Diaspro got together I’m just not sure about the number you put Flora and Helia
The top 2 deserved their spots. Brandon is the perfect partner, especially for Stella. He's exactly how you described: supportive and makes Stella a better person.
Since no one mentioned them yet, I'll do it. Mirta and Lucy. There was a scene where they were dancing together in a party when all the couples dancing were straight. They had a bittersweet relationship imo and were cute together. They're probably not canon but I wish they were.
I swear the Icy in S5 got a complete character change. In seasons 1 and 3 we see that even if the sisters fall in love, it's shown they would choose eachother over a guy (valtor or dark pheonix). In s5 even Stormy and Darcy call out Icy's 180, and then she picks that manchild over her sisters. Their relationship consists of titranous having a temper tantrum or lashing out, and Icy using this weird voice to coddle him or cheer for him. Literally turned her into a damsel in distress type, rather than the icy queen she is. Overall this has to be one of the worst couples for a) ruining the iconic villain trio and b) not even being a compelling couple
Season 2 would have been so much more interesting if it was revealed that Helia was secretly the villain the whole time. He was set up so perfectly for it.
honestly bloom and sky having a weeding in season 6 instead of daphne and thoren would obisily make MORE SENSE to me. (ok i may possibily could get a lot of hate for this but hear me out i don,t find this a bad couple)
I’m honestly glad that you aren’t bashing Bloom and Sky. And yes, I also feel like it would’ve made more sense for them to get married instead of Daphne and Thoren because the two hardly know each other. On the other hand, Bloom and Sky are a good couple in my eyes even though it started on a lie, they became a really cute couple over time.
I would definitely put Flora & Helia down. the reason for *me* is in season 5 ep 3 when he introduced Flora to Crystal and said “ this is my friend Flora” like really?? all this time and she’s just your friend 🥴 he ANNOYED ME the first time watching it 😭😭.. (this is my own opinion y’all b4 u get mad)
I feel that the writers wanted to make it sound like Helia was shy and unsure of his feelings and this is very different from his character. In the second season he was the one who was emotionally mature and sure of his feelings. it was the writers who wanted to forcefully make a drama and they should not fall in the ranking, because as a pair of artists they complement each other.
I think they were not ready for relationships,im sure later in the story maybe they will date,bc Helia told Flora he loved her back,they just didn't date
as someone who didn't even knew that winx club have more than one season, this video was a trip, i didn't understand a lot of things but yet i watch it full and enjoyed it a lot, nice work
riven and musa have very toxic relationship actually, but they are the most realistic. thats why i kinda enjoy them. they show us that relationships cannot always be that lovey dovey thing. as for stella and brandon, i think they are the best couple. they show us true love.
I think the most realistic would be Stella and Brandon tbh. That’s actually kinda alarming to consider a toxic relationship as the most common, which is very saddening. Like I know deep down Musa and Riven do really love and care about each other, but I was pretty mad they became a couple again in S8 instead of having a mature conversation and agreeing to just remain friends instead of keep trying to force something to work that clearly didn’t for how many years.
@@CottageGurl She isnt just strong and more independent (whilst still being a very good friend to Winx), it had been barely few months since she had lost her Fiancée.. I dont give a damn its a kids show, there is no way in hell someone who lost someone they truly loved with all their hearts arent just moving on and forgetting it ever happened after just a few months. Give the process of Grieving some respect, let her be not just a Independent and Strong, but also a grieving young woman.
It's really hard to say which one is my favorite, I can only tell that I dislike Musa/Riven and Bloom/Sky, the rest of the relationships in the main Winx club cast are equally precious
I'm just now realizing Stormy never had a love interest except for Valtor when the Trix were obsessed with him but other than that she never had anyone.
3:04 In the comics Icy had another love interest named Darko. And if I were to choose I'd rather have Tritannus as Icy's love interest than him. Here's why: Darko was a spoiled, entitled rich bad boy that she ended up crushing on so hard. But since he wouldn't date her she had to resort to blackmailing him since she had video footage of him roofying Bloom's drink with a love potion. And he didn't need that getting out since he was already in trouble for crashing his car and nearly killing Bloom since she was with him. (Moreover, there was a metaphor that Bloom could have overdosed on the love potion and die if she were to take it again.) They eventually broke up due to him having to move away from Magix for legal reasons involving his father if I remember correctly. And despite everything, the entire thing showed a softer side to Icy. And if they adapted this side of her in the cartoon early on then the Tricy ship wouldn't have felt like it came out of nowhere or that Icy was out of character.
I remember when 4kids use to have a website where you could play games and for Valentines day, you could vote best couple from the winx club. I cheated by creating sock puppet accounts and submitting multiple votes for flora and helia. Of course they won!
I have not kept up with Winx lore, so I was shocked to see the different animation styles!! This show (or at least the first 3 seasons) were a significant part of my childhood)
The Trix kinda fell in love with Valtor, but I think Icy fall the hardest of them. She kinda was a little heartbroken and then she met Tritanus - so maybe their a "cute" couple or so 🤷🏼♀️😅 ... And maybe Darcy & Riven are a thing, but I always had hope for Riven to change and be the perfect guy for Musa ... 🤔
I still can't get over the fact in season 1 (?) the old witches tricked bloom into thinking she was a witch and after hearing that sky literally left bloom
Definitely Riven and Musa are my favorite couple. Because unlike other couples, they are very realistic. Even if we look at our daily lives, no relationship can be without arguments, fights and problems. I think other couples are portrayed very optimistically and perfectly. But Musa and Riven have gone through everything that can happen in a relationship, so they are the most realistic and sincere couple.
Thank you finally someone not just pointing out that they are toxic I agree that riven was such a jerk sometimes but he truly loved her and he tried to fix himself for her and she stayed loyal to him cuz she loved him and now they try to make it work which is very realistic and people keep saying toxic like please
Honestly Stella x Brandon, Timmy x Tecna & Flora x Helias relationships feel the most realistic in terms of their disagreements/arguements & how they came together as well with the latter 2. Flora & Helia are my favorite couple though. I was rooting for them during the entirety of season 2.
am I the only one who fell in love with riven and musas relationship? Always been my favorite because the relationship is so realistic and beneath it there's love
My favorite couples from best to worst 1. Flora and Helia 2. Nabu and Aisha 3. Stella and Brandon 4. Tecna and Timmy 5. Sky and Bloom 6. Icy and Tritannus 7. Darcy and Riven 8. Daphne and Thorne 9. Musa and Riven 10. Roy and Aisha 11. Nex and Aisha
![Winx Club | Musa being ROBBED and mistreated! [Extended Compilation]](/img/n.gif)
I will never forgive the people who decided to chop off Helia’s hair. NEVER.
The ponytail 😭😭😭
Agree 😭💔 what a tragedy!!!
OMG 😂😂 yes!! I was so mad when his ponytail didn’t return in S5
FOR REAL 😭😭😭
I don’t know why they did that 😂
Stella and Brandon always get me because Brandon accepted her even when she turned “ugly” in that one episode ❤
It's literally the "would you still love me if I turned into a fish" type of scenario 😂🥺
That was one of my fav episodes, what’s better is the spell to make him see her as her normal self didn’t even work, this whole time he saw her “ugly” form
@@handsanitizer5127or like “would you still love me if I was a worm” vibe
that part was cute, but he also like never stop flirting with other girls, and she never stops flirting with other guys. Their relationship was very cheaty
@@witchynymphthey're both very aware of it and are fine with it. Stop trying to make up boundaries and getting shocked that they're broken
I feel like after Nabu passed Aisha should have stayed single, she already proved that she doesn't need a man to be happy and tbh not all winx need to have a boyfriend or romance drama. It's okay to be single and enjoy your life drama free, you can still be happy.
Agreed. Or to have her being single for at least one season, would have been great. Having her healing through her friends and then, next season, introduce someone who would have been her love interest, as it would touch an important topic. When your lover dies, is it ok to move on from the love you had ? Is it betraying them or not ?
Some people would feel like they are betraying the one they loved and lost. But, moving on is also a part of life. You would only betray them, if you forgot them forever, but they will live in you and would wish for your happiness.
It is for example, what lead to most of the love triangle drama in Inuyasha. Kikyo died after basically putting him in a coma, then few... months (?) after he woke up, she is brought back to life, but Inuyasha was also starting to move on, though it was hard... that what lead to him being torn between Kikyo and Kagome... Plus, neither of the two women he loved belonged with him. One is dead, the other is from another Era...
i kinda disagree, im sick of always seeing the black girl not having a romantic partner or something tragic happening to them while everyone else can be happy so even though its cliche, it's nice to see that there are always more fish in the sea for her. That being said, the boys aisha was shipped with are so annoying to me id rather her be single-
nope. Im tired of black girls always being the one that stays alone. Bloom can stay alone too i need aisha to be loved pls and thank you..
She can be happy AND have a man 😂
@@loliwinxedits6095 this!! Let her have a love interest like the rest of the girls smh
They should’ve kept Helia as a pacifist I think that went really well with his relationship with flora-also his drawings coming to life as a bird to flora was really cute
My favorite Winx girl has always been Flora, I genuinely loved her a lot, and seeing her with no romantic pairing wasn't even an issue to me, idk I felt like she was great by herself already. But man, when I first saw Helia... it wad love at first sight again, and I just wanted them to be together no matter what. Curiously, I believe both represent the types of men and women that I tend to fall for lmao so I guess they're part of my bi awakening journey. I loved that they were wholesome and without all of that drama. At the time I didn't even understand why Musa and Riven were together anyways.
I couldn't agree more. Flora is simply the best and she could only have the best man and make the perfect couple.
Agreed! I just loved how comfortable these two were together. Also, I am glad their relationship was not solely built on ridiculous teen drama. Of course couples will have their differences and it's important to show that but these two just fit well together and are able to work past it. They really are wholesome and I welcome such a healthy relationship.
Agreed flora is the best winx! ❤
I love flora aswell love her nature powers the colors green and pink like I love green my favorite color I don't like pink, she is a latina love her looks and outfits.
Helia the best guy love them together.
I totally agree I loved floras sweet and kind personality and her feminine nature style also Her and Helia r one of my favourite ships ❤❤❤❤
Love Flora
What I really love about Flora and Helia is the fact that we get to see the period before they start dating unfold, it doesn't feel like they are paired together by "default". Yeah, obvioulsy they are made for the other, but there are doubts and it takes a whole season for them to gtet together, which i really enjoyed ! Nabu and Aisha are a close second, but it's because i am a sucker for ennemies to lovers lmao
Remember the time Helia was introduced and he subdued a monster to protect Flora and then immediately let it go afterwards, my boy really went: Helia: I’m here to save Flora, no one else 😂
I did kinda laugh when he caught it, asked if she was okay and just immediately let go of it again when Skye told him she's fine 😂
He walked away so proudly too 😭
I just saw this episode and that part had me rolling lmao. He really dipped after making sure flora was ok like the others weren't in danger smh
I really think fan don't give enough crédit to Timmy. You should have mention the Time he was the only one who tried all the things he could to save Tecna when everybody tought she was dead And gave up on her(Even the Winx gave up!) ! He should have more appretiation. Too Bad that Even the Winx writter don't give them enough appretiation And don't do enough interessing things with them
As a little boy, he was the one I prefered because the others specialist were too perfect, too "idealised". I felt that Timmy was Closer than me. He was smart, he was Shy And unsure of himself but without him, the other specialist are nothing
Same
Agreed, I’m not the biggest fans of their characters, but I will always appreciate how he never gave up on her.
Fr Tecna and Timmy are the least toxic ship and the best one
I loved their relationship, they seemed so realistic, they genuinely liked to be around e/o, not much stupid drama, had the same interests so they had lots to do together as well, and Timmy did everything he could and more to save her when no one else believed that there was a chance. Idk why people don't like Tecna, maybe her tomboy-ish design and interests made people not like her as much?? She was a good character anyways
Same I was shocked that he put Timmy and tecna so low, the reason I click this video is because I'm curious where Timmy and tecna are in top three spot.
Bloom & Sky relationship is based on a lie. Sky was still engaged to Diaspro yet he kept Bloom as the side/main chick.
Well that is just not true. Just because Sky was in engaged with Diaspro when they met it dosen't meen their relationship is based on a lie. As a matter of fact Sky and Bloom started dateing AFTER the end of season 1, yes they did like eachother before the Diaspro incident but Sky didn't made any move on Bloom, they were just good friends. And Sky was never in love with Diaspro any way.
@@nuotatorre8741 Keep in mind, at any time Sky could’ve told Bloom that he was engaged. Bloom caught feelings, she attacked Diaspro FIRST & not once did she apologized.
@@Karlos1234ify Well no. Sky could not tell Bloom he was engaged since he was swaping identity with Brandon to avoid terrorists attacks. And is it somwhow his fault than Bloom fall for him? Also yeh Bloom should have at least apologized for the incedent (maby she did it off screen), but she did have legitimate reasons to attack Diaspro, she belived than Dispro was a Trix/was ploting with the Trix since she could not make sense at why she was calling him prince when she thoght he was not a royal. From Bloom's POV there are 3 powerfull and evil criminals on the loose known for manipulating peopole for their befit, than a random girl aproches one of your firends and apparenty starts to talk nonsense with him and he dose too. What is your first thoght than he is being manipulated by the criminals or than he is a prince who swaping is idienty with his firend to evoid a terroirst attack and that tha girl is is fiance?
I agree @Karlos1234ify, saw no apology or no major punishment when she did that crap. She had no proof that Diaspro was a witch and attack a princess out of nowhere, yeah Bloom doesn't get a pass from me. Plus, both she and Sky became very annoying and are my least favorite characters
@@RikaRieGaming Bloom had no proof than Diaspro was a witch but she was rightfully suspicius. Considering Sky and Brandon's idendity swap the whole thing was just a big missundrastanding. Also rushing in to things is bloom bigest character's flaw, she did not end up in trouble for it that time but especialy in season 3 it did cause her a lot of problems. Also yeh Sky and Bloom become very annoying after season 4
I’ll forever love Aisha and nabu the writers continuously did her dirty
My favourites:
1) Aisha and Nabu: they will always be superior to me, their love story was so interesting from the very beginning and was just so pure and beautiful. The scene where Nabu passes, will always make me cry. I think they truly loved each other and were made for each other.
2) Tecna and Timmy: sure, they were a bit like an old-married couple but to me that just proves that they have a very healthy and stable relationship. Their story is also super interesting, especially in season 3 when Tecna is sucked up into the Omega Dimension and Timmy dedicates his entire life to trying to get her back even when everyone else loses hope.
3) Flore and Helia: they are just so sweet together and they're both very similar types of people without being identical characters.
Love you frr
Urbso real
I think Darcy and Rivens personalities actually fit together. Okay hear me out. Darcy is clever and quiet. She does the work done behind the shadows being manipulative rather than being aggressive. On the other hand Riven is not the smartest but likes to show himself. He thinks he is better than others. In short I would love to see them as a couple villain after season 1. Riven still going to red fountian for his training but being evil. (Turning a good character into bad could be add variety to the show) With Darcy making the plans using dark magic and Riven helping her in physical strength way. (Though I love trix as triplets) (Also Musa deserves a better partner)
In the comics where the Trix first meet the Specialists, when Stormy uses her magic to attack Riven, Darcy freaks out like crazy and is concerned for him. I think in the comics, Darcy definitely had feelings for him.
@@joshwillis2879 YES EXACTLY !!!
@@pieckgfinger she even team up with the wind to stop the bus in comic
@@joshwillis2879 YESS in that one comic one of the sisters hurts him. Then the dialoge goes;
Darcy: “That was to much! I don’t want…”
Icy: Don’t be silly, you aren’t worried about that silly boy, are you?!
Darcy: Don’t call him that! He is not like the others!
Icy: Hey down! Does he mean so much to you?”
Yess they give me such 'mai and zuko' feels 😭💕. Personally I thought they would be such a power couple
Flora is and will still my favorite fairy. I really love how Flora and Helia complement each other ♥️♥️♥️
I totally agree.
I agree
The animation changes is giving me whiplash. 😅 My personal vote for healthiest couples are Brandon/Stella, Flora/Helia and Tecna/Timmy. Heck even throw in Bloom’s parents.
Me when the Winx kept praising Daphne’s wedding dress that they created: 🤭🤭🤭
For a show based on fashion designs that's gotta be one of the worst dresses
@@PramkLunafr it seemed so tacky like the colours don’t even go well,winx’s outfits literally outdid her wedding dress 😭
@@sugariehailey3339 Exactly, nothing matched or even seemed coordinate other than the dress stells makes and the tiara bloom gives her. The musical shoes weren't that bad as it ties the blue and pink together but, flora's bouquet seemed so random and Aisha's morphix ribbon didn't coordinate with the blue/light blue dress
@@PramkLuna fr
@@sugariehailey3339fr in my opinion,too basic.

hahaha, Omg sooo truee 😂
Flora and Helia are really the best couple! They are made for each other..and their relationship is so healthy also romantic..I love how both are sensitive and have similar personality..definitely couple goals for me🥰
Totally agree.
Thank you for pointing out the blur left of Darcy’s feelings for Riven because it’s still so unclear for me- i like to consider that when the trix became kind of crazy around episode 20, her somewhat feelings for him fade away because of her power hunger.
In comic, Darcy is good guy
In the comics she is clearly in love with him
yes@@pieckgfinger
@@pieckgfinger so when her crush fade away ?
Stella and Brandon omg I'm obsessed with this couple. They could have a series of their own.
Roy and nex are a better couple than Aisha and Nex
Yes, that is very true.
Why?
Big facts
And I would ship Aisha with Musa
Real
I honestly would have loved to see Aisha be and independent person after season 4. Don't get me wrong, i think that aisha and nabu were cute together, but it would have been a great message to kids that you can be a strong person without an SO. Maybe it's because i'm aro and it would have been cool to see a character that doesn't have a love interest/SO and can still be an awesome character. Her relationship with roy and nex just seemed really forced and the weird love triangle just felt like a poor attempt by the writers to make Aisha's story in the later seasons more interesting.
Yes!!!
Ngl i wish she had like 1 season where she was with no one and her and musa were independent but i still liked Nex and her as he acted tough but always had a soft spot for her
If you want a character to be single it should be bloom or musa or tecna. It’s weird and sadistic to kill off the only black girl’s love interest and not give her any romance after.
It would also send a message that black girls don't deserve a happily ever after- even if that's not what they intended.
@@lancecorporalrivaille5971yeah I agree with this and I don't get why more people don't point this out. Aisha and Nabu had BARELY started dating when they killed him off and then Aisha gets stuck with guys who aren't worth it. I also don't get why bloom was able to save skye but not Nabu? Not cool to make the only black girl lose her bf and then be stuck being single. I honestly liked season 2 when her and Musa were single and would chill with each other. Would have preferred that over them both being in toxic relationships
I love riven and musa even thought it was a toxic relationship
Big L
@@pieckgfinger ok but their relationship in s1 was interesting and they genuinely had good chemistry… in later seasons Riven just becomes a hardheaded jerk rather than the bad boy with a soft heart he was supposed to be.
Riven x Musa had potential.. and it was absolutely wasted.
Don’t hate the couple, hate the writers.
((Edit: Darcy and Riven had ZERO potential. It’s a ship that was only used as a plot device for the story to move forward.
Darcy even waits until the Trix start getting rid of the Winx 1 by 1 to finally tell Riven she was using him 💀 why not just let Riven figure it out at that point?))
@@lanAdraHrepuS yeah it had potential, but i’m not hating on the couple tho- It’s just weird to read sentences like “I ship them and i love them even tho their schemes are toxic “ and stuff… Weird.. This sentence wouldn’t pass if it was an irl couple so why stanning a toxic thing?😭
Also, Darven is a waste as well.. it had so much potential.. more than rIvUsA
@@lanAdraHrepuS s6 when he was the worst
Sameee
Musa and Riven became very toxic in the later seasons but it was one of the more entertaining relationships to watch for y'know. Bloom and Sky always felt so boring to me as a kid, I always got so excited whenever Musa and Riven moments were on screen and then they broke up 🙂
My kid heart was so disappointed but it's understandable, the two of them just had to go their separate ways
Darcy has feelings for Rivan, if it wasn't for Stromy and Icy's influence, I'm pretty sure Darcy and Riven would be healthier than Musa and Riven.
Iof
Though they also likely would have been a vilain ouple (which would also have been a more interesting vilain couple than Tritanus and Icy, I think)
@@orianefaton1885 Yeah Darcy fits the romantic side more compared to the cringe Icy.

I Remember When I Was A Child I Used To Be So Jealous Of Flora Cause I Liked Helia 💀
I can already feel Flora and Helia being on top
The others didn't stand a chance.
When Helia cut off his hair...the world ended.
an angel lost its wings 😭
Flora and Helia will forever be my favorite couple 🤗
1. Aisha and Nabu - they really seemed kind of perfect, and they had an interesting beginning.
2. Stella and Brandon - they seems like the most real, balanced and believable couple, they're not afraid to call each other for their mistakes and when they have issues they try to work on them. Also both of these characters are bit stereotype so see them together and see there's much more into them is great.
3. Tecna and Timmy - they really are like old married couple, they're cute together. Both are geeky introverets who struggle to show their emotions and together they learn how.
4. Flora and Helia - they're good fit for each other, both are more connected to their sensitive sides. There were few unnecessary conflicts but they're cute and work together very well i'd say.
5. Bloom and Sky - they got annoying very quickly, their relationship started as a lie and then a lot stupid stuff happened. After season 4 both characters got annoying and their relationship even more annoying.
6. Daphne and Thoren - they're sweet together but absolutely rushed, i enjoy them together but that wedding was stupid.
7. Aisha and Nex - they have similar personalities but Nex is jerk only little bit less than Riven. IDK i'm not a fan of this relationship.
8. Icy and Tritannus - they both awful people so it makes sense why they together and during season it was showed they both cared about each other but it was all so rushed and out of character for both that i can't put it any higher.
9. Aisha and Roy - there was never mentioned if they a real couple and then love triangle with Nex. I think they would be great couple but again we don't know if they were really together.
10. Musa and Riven - their relationship was absolutely toxic, they have some really amazing moments together but their relationship is really toxic and they should broke up already in season 4. Musa deserved better.
11. Riven and Darcy - Were they a real couple? Did Darcy like him or was she only using him? Was Riven only under her spell or really liked her? You can't even tell if they're real couple.
I don't like that writers were pushing Aisha to be in a relationship after Nabu, like why? Love triangle with Roy and Nex was absolutely annoying and stupid. No Aisha and Roy, no Aisha and Nex, Roy and Nex should've been a thing - they would be perfect couple.
Yes darven is a real couple lol ☠️
The end killed me 😭😂😂😂
@@Jil1807 but it's true, Rex Should've been a thing
@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 would be perfect!
Yes, thank you. Bloom & Sky relationship was built on a lie. Not to mention Sky was STILL engaged to Diaspro. Yet he kept Bloom around as the side / main chick. The whole beef between Bloom & Diaspro, got started because Bloom SHOT first.
FLORA AND HELIA ARE EVERYTHING TO ME
Frrr
i Love "Flora & Helia" they're really cute they're part of my fav & i like "Stella & Brandon" they're funny together
I keep wondering when we're going to see Bloom and Sky get married. Their engagement has gone on for years.
"i can't lie saying that i don't live for the drama" got me dead
Brandon and Stella are my most favorite 😌
Second: Helia x Flora
And then also Aisha x Nabu.
Musa and Riven will always be my favorite couple, I know the share a toxic behavior and maybe not-so lovey dovey personalities, but then I remember that they are the most realistic (as realistic you can be in a kids series about fairies) in terms of first relationships, first love even. They technically grew up together and with their relationship, they were not and are not perfect and ultimately could not achieve the "perfect couple" with no toxicity like Flora & Helia but they tried, they did do something to change the actions that were keeping them apart, they went through a lot of nasty thing together and supported each other in the end, accepting that they were not always right because both Musa and Riven share this personality trait of "pride" so yeah, toxic couple, kind of a childhood couple, I love them all, but Musa & Riven are just something else for me xD
Saaaame
but i also really love nabu and aisha as a contrast
@@100xfun5 and Flora and Helia, they were my comfort too🥺 (literally so cute)

Okay, so I respect your list BUT here's mine:
11. Aisha & Nex (aka Riven 2.0 hopefully we don't see him again in the reboot)
10. Daphne & Thoren (HOW YOU GET MARRIED BEFORE BLOOM!)
9. Musa & Riven (TOXICITY AT ITS FINEST)
8. Icy & Tritantus (Lowkey irked me. "TRITANTUS! HELP!" Icy's voice.
7. Darcy & Riven (Even though, he was hexed.)
6. Tecna & Timmy (Not much to say.)
5. Aisha & Roy (should've been him over Nex)
4. Flora & Helia (Had it not been for s5 they'd be ranked higher but Princess Krystal being all up on Heila and him saying she's just a friend rubbed me the wrong way.)
3. Bloom & Sky (They started out on a lie but turned it into something magical.)
2. Aisha & Nabu (An arranged married that would have lasted forever but the writers killed him)
1. Stella & Brandon (perfect for each other)
Honorary: Professor Avalon & Professor Palladium
I honestly like Aisha and Nex in the reboot s8 he was waaaay better than in previous seasons
Thank you for hating on Bloom and Sky. Unicorn of War can learn alot from you
Techna and Timmy have a place in my heart. When I was younger I was never fond of the boys and the romance always cringed me out but they were by far the chillest couple. I just enjoyed how normal they were and loving without being too dramatic
i had a massive crush on helia as a kid
I still have it... 😅 🤐
Oh honey who didn't?
I’m so happy Flora and Helia got the gold! Actually your top 3 are mine too!
1. Flora and Helia- I really love how they’re so perfect for each other, both are more sensitive and pacifistic of their groups, and are both too shy to admit their feelings for the other. I really love how Chatta kept at it in Flora finally going for it, especially in the 4Kids version when she’s too worried about saving the Flower (Tree) of Life, Helia tells her heart has a lot of power, which is what allows her to break through her insecurities, letting her grow as a fairy. But also the Rai version of him indirectly saying “I love myself too” is hilarious 😆 Also 4Kids wedding joke was so hilarious, Flora is already getting married in her head and accidentally got the spell in class wrong by saying experdelohelia instead of helion, which made it fit better why her friends were laughing so hard, they could tell what she was thinking of. But yes I do appreciate the Krystal drama and S6, showing even a perfect couple can have misunderstandings. Also I can’t help but adore the dance in S5, if only Helia’s ponytail was in it 😫
2. Stella and Brandon- I agree, they weren’t my favorite at first, but I really love Brandon as a character. He genuinely loves Stella and isn’t dating her because she’s a princess, and isn’t afraid to be honest with her when she’s taking things too far. I also really loved the Mirror of Truth story, with Stella convinced he and others only liked her beauty, but he truly loves her, warts and all, even admitting the spell wore off. Mitzi drama was annoying though
3. Leila and Nabu- OMG, both are actually probably the most mature couple. I really love how she didn’t need a boyfriend, so she actually hated him at first, but eventually when she got to know him realized how similar they are. I do love he and Helia are the only two guys that don’t get insanely jealous over Andy and his friends, showing their maturity in comparison to the rest. I kinda get Pocahontas and John Smith vibes from them as unfortunately they were forced to sacrifice their happiness for the greater good of Earth and its fairies. I was so shocked and mad watching Nabu die. 🤬 Why couldn’t it have been Riven instead?!
4. Bloom and Sky- overrated. The bulk of their relationship is literally focused on Diaspro being turned into an immature jealous brat who refuses to let go of Sky. If Bloom wasn’t so immature and jealous of this everytime and simply learned to ignore Diaspro’s antics, it’d be a lot better. Something else that bugs me is Sky wouldn’t actually say no to Diaspro. Like it gives me that icky feeling of “Let’s invite her to the wedding because she’s still an old friend of mine” YOU DON’T INVITE AN EX TO A WEDDING, that is a recipe for disaster. Like I hate how Bloom got mad at him in S8, when it was Diaspro who completely lied to him to prevent him from even contacting her to say he was on an important mission. Used to love them, but it got tainted with this sickening and overused love triangle. Also I don’t like how their relationship was based on a lie, at least in 4Kids it does show a couple of times Bloom is worried about if he still likes Diaspro or not in S2
5. Tecna and Timmy- they’re an adorkable couple! My only problem is Timmy is basically the male version of her, and I feel a majority of their relationship is based on forcing them to put their phones away and just have a good time. The date in S5 felt more like a first date thing than talking to each other in the flesh. I still love Timmy’s shyness to impress her, and in S2 Tecna learns to accept him as he really is instead of getting frustrated he’s too nervous to ask her out and stop treating her like a computer, but treat her like a girl.
6. Roy and Leila- I really do like them as a couple, but I feel there’s not really any personality to him aside being a good guy who can use magic too. If it was more fleshed out, who knows.
7. Daphne and Thoren- Yes, I cannot stand how she got to be alive again, but not Musa’s mom or Nabu. I kinda like how Daphne has a more insecure side despite being a powerful fairy. I feel she’d be more like Elsa, given her stark blonde hair and Bloom having red hair like Anna lol. But no, she only spent like half a season with this rando and agrees to marry him, despite he’s never even met Oritel and Miriam. Nor does it explain is he even a royal from Erakleon or not. Also I thought Sky and Bloom were supposed to be the future king and queen of Sparx (Domino) and Erakleon.
8. Leila and Nex- I don’t get why her personality went from sweet and a little shy to being kinda bossy and headstrong in later seasons. I always felt he was a jerk a lot of times, especially to Roy in an attempt to make him look like an idiot in front of her, and he never actually apologizes for being a dick either. Worse is in S7 when Riven left, he kinda became his replacement for the immature boyfriend. At least in S8 he was really supportive when she was freaking out over a major speech.
9. Musa and Riven- It pains me so much to put my favorite fairy in last. I always loved her as a kid, but always hated Riven. They have very poor communication, which further adds to their relationship drama. Like in S3 when she contemplated about breaking up, its Helia who tells Riven instead of her. And in the motorcycle scene, she even snapped at him for arguing with her about his bike malfunctioning. In S4, I do love how they finally broke up, with him blowing up nearly every time she even looked at another guy. I do love how Jason was genuinely a good guy who handled the situation maturely and just wanted to help her. I still say Riven should’ve died instead because it would’ve been the perfect way to show that he truly loves and cares about her, but also fix his stupid obsession of beating Sky in a duel by him becoming the hero of the Earth fairies. Also it would’ve been interesting to how Musa took losing another person she deeply loved, not to mention her powers are rather deadly in an ice realm. In S6, I don’t get why Riven got reset to being an arrogant jerk again, and flat out kept ignoring her, like it took her snatching his stupid toy for him to finally acknowledge her presence. He just brushes her off to keep practicing. Then he runs away when she loses her voice instead of say making another song in an attempt to cheer her up. At least the breakup here was organic and mature with them finally acknowledging they can’t keep doing this. In S8, I really hate how Musa was portrayed to be a brat who was mad at Riven for not contacting her, despite S6 made it obvious he was going off the grid for a while. I would’ve loved to see them having a mature discussion of them agreeing to just be friends, no more trying to keep trying to get a toxic relationship to work. Like better to love each other as friends than trying to force something to work and later on hating each other.
*Don’t really have anything for the Trix aside the juicy love triangle for Valtor and Lord Darkar. Tritannus was beyond annoying and I agree. Icy was like a love sick puppy, loyal only to him over Stormy and Darcy. What happened to my queen bee from 4Kids?! Also with Riven and Darcy, I actually ship them a lot more than Musa and Riven. Like I always felt Darcy truly did kinda have feelings at first for him, but upon receiving godlike powers, kicked him to the curb.
Ya
You may hate Riven but you can't deny that individually Riven is the no1 guy and Musa is no1 girl in the show.
@@Luffy-gh7mr Musa is my favorite fairy, specifically 4Kids for me. Sorry but I’ve never liked Riven even as a kid. Favorite for me is a tie between Brandon and Helia, and also Nabu.
TOTALLY AGREEEE OMG💕
Glad flora and helia got 1st they definitely deserve it compared to the other couples
Omg finally soneone who isn't into the musa and riven drama. As a kid I was so annoyed that 90% of their screentime together was fighting with each other or getting angry.... but on the other hand I was a total riven and darcy shipper before I even knew what shipping is, lol. Your two faves are also mine. 🙏 Stella and Brandon went through a lot alone in the first three seasons and it really shows how deep their bond was. Also Flora and Helia are literally so damn cute together. I can still relate to Flora's shyness in s2.
I gotta say, there are moments when I really love Sky and Bloom. Especially in the movie when he calls her "his sweet" or "his bloom" it's just rly lovely and so romantic.
I like the idea of Darcy and Riven being villainous while loving to each other--of course, this exists independent of the universe where Riven overcomes his trauma, is no longer toxic, and is with Musa.
1.) Flora & Helia (I love their personalities & they're obviously made for each other! I think they have the healthiest relationship 🥰)
2.) Layla/Aisha & Nabu (I like their story, even when the beginning was a little awkward. They're both so passionate people. I really was heartbroken when he died ... ❤️ )
3.) Stella & Brandon (They're perfect match & I like that their more than this stereotypical couple + I love their emotional sides! ☀️)
4.) Tecna & Timmy (They're both sensitiv & special - that's why they're meant to be. I think their a cute & caring couple! 😊)
5.) Bloom & Sky (I love them and I think they're a good match, but I think that their relationship had a lot of problems to solve and in direct comparison to the other couples they're not the best! 🔥)
6.) Daphne & Thoren (They're really cute & so beautiful together, but their story is a little bit to rushed and their relationship was to cursorily, they could have done better work! 💕)
7.) Musa & Riven (Sometimes they're really cute, but at least their relationship is so toxic. Musa deserved better! 🎶)
I would prefer Layla & Roy over Layla & Nex, but it was all way to rushed for Layla to fall in love again after the death of Nabu. And this f*cking love triangle - so unnecessary!👌🏻
Now that's a really good listing! I also like the fact that you don't bash Sky and Bloom, but also show their good points.
@@sonjariikonen128 I agree. Bloom and Sky aren’t that bad of a couple even though their relationship started on a lie, they have some very cute moments and I think they’re a good couple and their relationship isn’t as toxic as everyone says it is for me.
The Mitzy slander near the end was GOLD 😭😭😭
my ranking:
1. stella and brandon hands down!
they had the potential to be stereotypical, shallow and pretty much terrible but the writers managed to give them amazing depth. my favorite parts of their story in the earlier seasons was when stella was prepared to risk her life (and she did risk it actually) to save brandon from downland in season 2 and when brandon supported and loved stella after she was turned into a monster by cassandra in season 3
2. tecna and timmy
I think they're so underrated! tecna is not my favorite winx and timmy is not my favorite specialist (even though neither of them is my least favorite either, that would be bloom and riven) but I really really like them together. they fit amazingly, they help each other be more open about their feelings and I will NEVER forget that part in season 3 when he kept looking for her and for a way to save her when everyone had given up because they thought she was dead...that was honestly amazing to witness
3. aisha and nabu
they had the most interesting and different beginning and they really fit well, their dynamic was nice and of course, me being me, I also enjoyed the angst of nabu's death even though it broke my heart
4. flora and helia
they're pretty sweet and fit well with each other, what with both of them being very in touch with their emotions and their more sensitive side. I just think they were not that exciting or interesting, I find them a bit boring
5. darcy and riven
idk they deserved each other and honestly I could see them working out pretty decently with their personalities. idk I do not feel strongly about them, I just put them here because of how strongly I dislike the couples that come after
6. bloom and sky
booooooring omg so much unnecessary and repetitive drama 🙄 and the fact that their whole story started with a lie? yikes. also the fact that to me bloom is the most annoying of the winx and sky is the most boring of the specialists does not do them any favors, sorry. literally the only moment of theirs I like is when bloom saves sky's life (or brings him back to life? I can't remember) in season 2...or it could have been season 1, I can't remember that either lol that's how much I don't really care about them, sorry
7. musa and riven
I don't even have a lot to say about them, he was a dick, their relationship was toxic and it just downright...sucked. the constant push and pull was annoying and irritating and frustrating and I don't even like musa all that much but she definitely deserved better
(I watched up to season 4 only so idk about the rest)
Can’t agree more on Bloom and sky, literally season 1-5 got me so mad, like everything was about bloom and sky like.. and in season 5 Bloom was being a little too extra about the memory thing as if her relationship hasn’t been on the verge of crumble in the past seasons. and yes Bloom is THE MOST ANNOYING WINX CHARACTER..😭
In season 8 Musa and Riven got back together after like. couple episodes of saltiness from Musa(he deserved it)That scene was Darcy trying to manipulate him to attack Musa and stuff I'm glad Musa got a break from a man tho
I agree I’m not sure about the number you put Flora and Helia though as I found them quite cute but I definitely agree about Bloom and Sky they are like the most annoying couple on Winx Club ever especially Bloom if I’m being honest despite everything she did I still think Sky and Diaspro would’ve been a better couple. Can’t believe I used to like Bloom when I was little. Well to be honest Sky isn’t that bad as he can be sensible sometimes like it’s just Bloom who’s the problem like I remember a few episodes when Sky had to go on missions with the rest of the specialists and the specialists told the Winx it would be too dangerous for them and all of the Winx agreed apart from Bloom and Sky had to try and convince her to stay and I actually remembered how many times in Season 5 or any Season has Sky had to try and calm Bloom down from her childish and annoying outbursts but I do agree with you and I wished Sky and Diaspro got together I’m just not sure about the number you put Flora and Helia
I agree
Stella n Brandon are like the realistic couple, and I love that~ as for Bloom n Sky are the most annoying couple.. sorry✋
Helia and flora will always be my favorite couple
Flora and Helia are my favorite too 😍❤ (then Aisha and Nabu)
FLORA AND HELIA ARE MY MOST FAVIORTE COUPLE IN WINX CLUB I LITERALLY LIVE BREATHE AND LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND DYNAMIC.
Flora n helia are always no 1 😍😍
Thank you for Not bashing Bloom and Sky. I get sick and tired of people bashing them.
The top 2 deserved their spots. Brandon is the perfect partner, especially for Stella. He's exactly how you described: supportive and makes Stella a better person.
I remember a scene in Daphne’s coronation Daphne looking at Bloom and Sky and saying that they look so in love with each other
Since no one mentioned them yet, I'll do it.
Mirta and Lucy.
There was a scene where they were dancing together in a party when all the couples dancing were straight. They had a bittersweet relationship imo and were cute together. They're probably not canon but I wish they were.
Friends can also dance together hand in hand . Its mean that they in love!
No they are just friends. Italy is conservative
Flora & Helia will always be my favorite couple
I swear the Icy in S5 got a complete character change. In seasons 1 and 3 we see that even if the sisters fall in love, it's shown they would choose eachother over a guy (valtor or dark pheonix). In s5 even Stormy and Darcy call out Icy's 180, and then she picks that manchild over her sisters.
Their relationship consists of titranous having a temper tantrum or lashing out, and Icy using this weird voice to coddle him or cheer for him. Literally turned her into a damsel in distress type, rather than the icy queen she is.
Overall this has to be one of the worst couples for a) ruining the iconic villain trio and b) not even being a compelling couple
Flora 💚 Helia
Stella 💛 Brandon
I love the episode where Brandon chose to marie the underground princess for Stella 😍😍😍😍
Season 2 would have been so much more interesting if it was revealed that Helia was secretly the villain the whole time. He was set up so perfectly for it.
honestly bloom and sky having a weeding in season 6 instead of daphne and thoren would obisily make MORE SENSE to me. (ok i may possibily could get a lot of hate for this but hear me out i don,t find this a bad couple)
I’m honestly glad that you aren’t bashing Bloom and Sky. And yes, I also feel like it would’ve made more sense for them to get married instead of Daphne and Thoren because the two hardly know each other. On the other hand, Bloom and Sky are a good couple in my eyes even though it started on a lie, they became a really cute couple over time.
@@twinky34 exactly! Bloom is my favorite winx! And this hate of her is annoying!
@@sophiamenezessilva5018 Ikr
I would definitely put Flora & Helia down. the reason for *me* is in season 5 ep 3 when he introduced Flora to Crystal and said “ this is my friend Flora” like really?? all this time and she’s just your friend 🥴 he ANNOYED ME the first time watching it 😭😭.. (this is my own opinion y’all b4 u get mad)
I feel that the writers wanted to make it sound like Helia was shy and unsure of his feelings and this is very different from his character. In the second season he was the one who was emotionally mature and sure of his feelings. it was the writers who wanted to forcefully make a drama and they should not fall in the ranking, because as a pair of artists they complement each other.
I think they were not ready for relationships,im sure later in the story maybe they will date,bc Helia told Flora he loved her back,they just didn't date
Tecna and Timmy are the best for me. They're like the same person and I loved them.
YAY FLORA AND HELIA ARE #1!!! I LOVE THEM.
as someone who didn't even knew that winx club have more than one season, this video was a trip, i didn't understand a lot of things but yet i watch it full and enjoyed it a lot, nice work
riven and musa have very toxic relationship actually, but they are the most realistic. thats why i kinda enjoy them. they show us that relationships cannot always be that lovey dovey thing. as for stella and brandon, i think they are the best couple. they show us true love.
I think the most realistic would be Stella and Brandon tbh. That’s actually kinda alarming to consider a toxic relationship as the most common, which is very saddening. Like I know deep down Musa and Riven do really love and care about each other, but I was pretty mad they became a couple again in S8 instead of having a mature conversation and agreeing to just remain friends instead of keep trying to force something to work that clearly didn’t for how many years.
I agree, for me stella n brandon are the realistic couple. And I rlly like that
@@kristinahuchison2511Ikr musa deserves better and Aisha doesn't need a man, like she's a strong woman and she literally can take care of herself
@@CottageGurl She isnt just strong and more independent (whilst still being a very good friend to Winx), it had been barely few months since she had lost her Fiancée..
I dont give a damn its a kids show, there is no way in hell someone who lost someone they truly loved with all their hearts arent just moving on and forgetting it ever happened after just a few months.
Give the process of Grieving some respect, let her be not just a Independent and Strong, but also a grieving young woman.
0:43 they just stuck those two together cause they are just pairing up people that know it other in the winx story
this was great, love to see more winx videos coming from you!
I love Flora and Healia they are the best couples
It's really hard to say which one is my favorite, I can only tell that I dislike Musa/Riven and Bloom/Sky, the rest of the relationships in the main Winx club cast are equally precious
M&R and B&S are my least fav cuz they both annoying and toxic lol..
yes. Flora and Helia. period.
I'm just now realizing Stormy never had a love interest except for Valtor when the Trix were obsessed with him but other than that she never had anyone.
You forget darkar. At least in the 4kids dub
The couples of the W.I.T.C.H. Series
3:04 In the comics Icy had another love interest named Darko. And if I were to choose I'd rather have Tritannus as Icy's love interest than him. Here's why:
Darko was a spoiled, entitled rich bad boy that she ended up crushing on so hard. But since he wouldn't date her she had to resort to blackmailing him since she had video footage of him roofying Bloom's drink with a love potion.
And he didn't need that getting out since he was already in trouble for crashing his car and nearly killing Bloom since she was with him. (Moreover, there was a metaphor that Bloom could have overdosed on the love potion and die if she were to take it again.)
They eventually broke up due to him having to move away from Magix for legal reasons involving his father if I remember correctly.
And despite everything, the entire thing showed a softer side to Icy. And if they adapted this side of her in the cartoon early on then the Tricy ship wouldn't have felt like it came out of nowhere or that Icy was out of character.
Stella and Brandon deserve number 1 imo
Darcy and Riven could have been iconic but the writers wouldn’t let us have it
I remember when 4kids use to have a website where you could play games and for Valentines day, you could vote best couple from the winx club.
I cheated by creating sock puppet accounts and submitting multiple votes for flora and helia.
Of course they won!
I have not kept up with Winx lore, so I was shocked to see the different animation styles!! This show (or at least the first 3 seasons) were a significant part of my childhood)
The Trix kinda fell in love with Valtor, but I think Icy fall the hardest of them. She kinda was a little heartbroken and then she met Tritanus - so maybe their a "cute" couple or so 🤷🏼♀️😅 ... And maybe Darcy & Riven are a thing, but I always had hope for Riven to change and be the perfect guy for Musa ... 🤔
2:14 I will never forgive the script writers. They shouldn't have broken up in the first place🥺
My top favorite personally is Brandon and Stella. Then Flora and Helia, Timmy and Tecna, Layla and Nabu, and then Sky and Bloom.
Agree, Flora and Helia the best couple!
Stella and Brandon were always my faves haha
"Number 6 Techna and Timmy"
*Also a number 7 on the screen*
Aromantic-Asexual Icy go brrrrrr~!
I still can't get over the fact in season 1 (?) the old witches tricked bloom into thinking she was a witch and after hearing that sky literally left bloom
Definitely Riven and Musa are my favorite couple. Because unlike other couples, they are very realistic. Even if we look at our daily lives, no relationship can be without arguments, fights and problems. I think other couples are portrayed very optimistically and perfectly. But Musa and Riven have gone through everything that can happen in a relationship, so they are the most realistic and sincere couple.
I perfectly agree with you
Thank you finally someone not just pointing out that they are toxic I agree that riven was such a jerk sometimes but he truly loved her and he tried to fix himself for her and she stayed loyal to him cuz she loved him and now they try to make it work which is very realistic and people keep saying toxic like please
Top 2 always will be Stella and Brandon and Aisha and Nabu❤
Honestly Stella x Brandon, Timmy x Tecna & Flora x Helias relationships feel the most realistic in terms of their disagreements/arguements & how they came together as well with the latter 2.
Flora & Helia are my favorite couple though. I was rooting for them during the entirety of season 2.
Fr I love Flora x helia because they never was toxic to eachother and if they were they would talk about it,probably the calmest couple ever
1. Brandon & Stella
2. Flora & Helia
3. Nabu and Layla
❤️❤️❤️
I cannot believe that Tecna and Timmy are below Aisha and Roy. That’s kinda crazy.
I love that how nabu never gets jealous, whenever some boy wants to talk to Aisha / layla , nabu was the best for her and he totally trust her
now this is the type of content i love to randomly stumble upon haha thank youu
am I the only one who fell in love with riven and musas relationship? Always been my favorite because the relationship is so realistic and beneath it there's love
Helia and flora will always be the best couple ever
Flora and Helia are one of the best couple. They are perfect for each other and rarely gets into any fights.
My favorite couples from best to worst
1. Flora and Helia
2. Nabu and Aisha
3. Stella and Brandon
4. Tecna and Timmy
5. Sky and Bloom
6. Icy and Tritannus
7. Darcy and Riven
8. Daphne and Thorne
9. Musa and Riven
10. Roy and Aisha
11. Nex and Aisha
my fav will forever be Stella and Brandon!
