ugh same 😭😭😭 literally same year

It's Kmart's Haunted House game! You can still play it on Internet Archive.

Hmmm I actually don't like her least. She's consistently 2-4 in sets for me. She's just never the best. I don't know if you could tell 😅, but how comfortable an outfit would be on me is pretty significant to how I rate it, and since Tecna almost always gets practical yet still interesting looks, her style is actually quite 'pretty' to me. I just often prefer Layla's. But I think it's definitely true that Tecna gets the short end of the stick in the show in general. I think they came up with a cool character - intelligent, contrary girl from futuristic world, but didn't really know what to do with her personality beyond the idea that she likes tech and doesn't always like emotions. For example, I've always thought that the Pixies represent what each girl needs most: Flora is shy and needs help expressing herself, so she gets Chatta who won't stop expressing herself; Stella feels unloved by her parents, so she gets Amore; Bloom needs help finding her path, so she gets Lockette who is a wayfinder; Layla is constantly stressed and under pressure, and her pixie is a baby who sleeps contendedly all day; Musa is rough around the edges (at least in season 1and 2) so she gets an etiquette coach (which feels a bit outdated), and then there's Digit... Who doesn't really reflect anything deeper about Tecna at all, as if they just don't know her very well?🤔 As far as pretty scenes though, I've always thought her bit is the highlight of the Believix sequence. The music soars and her choreography is super fun.

@talkytilki Ahhhh nonono i see where youre coming from, especially when you kept mentioning the jeans thing i kept thinking "Yep, I agree" but looking at the girls I couldn't feel it LOL. Huhuhu, I definitely am more of a "pleasing to the eyes" kind of person because I really rate stuff based on personal visual appeal. I definitely think Tecna's gorgeous in a lot of her fairy forms. One of my gripes tho is how she (along with Aisha/Layla) get the shortest transformations ughhh

@@talkytilki Actually there is a reason why Tecna and Digit are so similiar. As you correctly said, the Pixies represent what each girl needs most. Each pixie must help her fairy overcome her shortcomings and help her grow as a person, with Tecna and Digit it is more subtle, but in fact there is still meaning here. Locket is the pixie is passages. She always knows the right way and can open portals and doors. Which is what Bloom needed since she was looking for answers, for her parents and the truth about her past. Locket is humble and a little of a scaredycat, which contrasts Bloom's impulsiveness (you can see that for example when Bloom wanted to try her "new powers" right away while Locket advised against it, and then we got Dark Bloom) Piff is the pixie of dreams. She helps Layla/Aisha sleep despite her nightmares, and her childish nature allows her fairy to act like a big sister, making her more confident since she has to take care of her and not indulge too much in her own fears. Digit is very similar to Tecna, but far more emotional, that's why she helps bring some of Tecna’s repressed emotions to the surface as well. Digit is also playful while Tecna is very serious and always busy with homework. Digit helps her to relax and take things easy. Since they have the same interests and similar personality Digit can criticize Tecna in a way it doesn't comes wrong since the same remarks from other people could offend her or be wrongly interpreted. Chatta is the opposite of Flora, a flying chatter box. Chatta’s interest in gossip and more outgoing, extroverted personality directly contrasts with Flora’s shy nature. However she is the one who helps Flora be more open and finally confess her feelings to Helia and without her egging Flora on she may have never taken that chance. Tune is the pixie of etiquette. She acts as an older sister or mother figure that Musa didn't have. She cleans her room and criticises her manners. She is probably one of the reasons why Musa became more traditionally feminine in season 3. Regardless if that is a good thing or not. It's very likely Musa's tomboyish persona was a result from her losing her mother early and living in poverty with her bitter father. Amore is the pixie of love. She is just as of a romantic as Stella is, and probably more. For a person so deprived and yet eager for love as Stella, Amore is a great support and source of that love and also balancing Stella’s more extroverted and somewhat impulsive personality with her more calm and quiet nature. She obviously brings out Stella’s romantic side even more, which is especially helpful given one of the first conflicts of the season is related to her and Brandon’s relationship.

Wow, I disagree. I think her looks and outfits are so cool. Whether her y2k futurism looks in the early era, or her prepy/nerdy girl looks in the later era. I think it's all cute and she's slowly climbing my favorite winx girls list.

@@user-bx8sj6qm3w I guess it became hard to tell for me since seasons 5 onwards gave them basically the same outfits.

I know right... 😭😭😭 theres so many iconic looks, and she's definitely right about not having fashion knowledge herself cause theres so many good looks she missed out on and gave bad ratings on 💀

sanane???????

Of course, I know what you mean! They're all hyperfeminine by some definition. I guess feminine isn't necessarily a very useful word for what I was trying to get at. I more meant that Tecna tends get edgy or practical things rather than things that Flora might wear, for example. As in not a lot of bulky or flowy fabric or ruffles, but kind of tight, with straight lines or geometric cuts in casual looks at least. That's why that one comic outfit stands out - because of the bulkier softer silhouette and the more 'feminine' puffy shoulders. But true, in ignoring ball looks, I did miss out on her range. Haha 😅 sorry... I guess it makes sense that that is coming back into fashion 15-20 year cycle and all. Glad you enjoyed 💗

@@talkytilki I see what you mean now. Tecna's look is very polished and it could very much be considered a reflection of her culture up to s4: up until then her outfits are very y2k and futuristic, and nobody else gets quite the same treatment. She is from a tech-advanced planet and she shows it in her clothes!

yes yes 👀 for example, there was that fairy skating competition doll line with Flora, Bloom, Stella, and Roxy like she had become the 4th member of the marketing trio... this is my Roswell 🛸

​@@talkytilki it seems like at that time No. 4 was always rotating. Generally No. 4 is Musa, but by season 5 it became Aisha as Roxy was more or less a "Season 4 is Fun" gimmick but always kept Musa and Aisha around and by season 7 they started doing a stock 5...which is better than nothing, but again...not much Tecna. I also think there's another reason for this. Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Aisha and Roxy all have classical fairy powers. Love (it's just called Dragon Flame and Bloom makes some fireballs for coolness reasons in terms of offense attacks while other abilities are more healing-related so she doesn't come off too much as Girl Ma-Ti even though she kinda is), Light, Plants, Song, Sea and Animals respectively and Daphne is all combined when she tags along. Tecna's power-base is Lightning/Electricity. Not really something normally associated with fairies...and not really something to play with. Translation: Tecna doesn't appear much because she's like Rogue...too hot to handle...literally!

ominous...

Wow, thank you! I'm really happy you feel that way 🙏💗🥺

@@talkytilki you're welcome😄

Oh no I love the denim looks too: it's just that, if I personally wore them I would be trying to crawl out of my own skin lol I hate denim material. You have to pay me to wear jeans ksksksks Oooh interesting theory! So there is one issue of the magazine (issue 69 - italian) where they are wearing outfits that are similar in colour and (at least in Flora and Bloom's case) silhouette to the Mattel Concert looks on the cover... So maybe I wonder if it could be the other way round? Way ahead of time, they designed these looks and they were okayed for mattel dolls: but once they lost the deal with Mattel, there were licensing difficulties using these particular looks in other Winx media...? I don't know if any of that makes sense 😅

Yes, definitely! Show-wise season 3 outfits are best, but I've got to say I love a lot of the very early Giochi Preziosi looks for sheer nostalgia. It's kind of stunning how accurate Mattel dolls could be, even just as a doll base. Early Witty came kind of close too (Winx in Concert, for example) but no Winx dolls since look really good. I wonder if it's a licensing issue, such that they can't really replicate the original Mattel silhouettes?

@@talkytilki I also love the early giochi preziosi looks! I don't think licensing has a big part to do with it since Igginio owns the licence to winx and they could give it to any company they want.Hence why the newer Witty dolls used the Jakks Pacific faces because Igginio gave the rights to Witty to produce the dolls with the same faces like Jakks.Besides the two companies occupied to different market places:one the US and the other Europe so they weren't in direct competition with one another!

😅 hope you enjoyed!

@@talkytilki I did! Got so many new outfits to add to my Slay ✨ board

The WITCH comics were originally from Disney Italy, and Rainbow went onto recruit and work with a lot of people who worked for Disney Italy, including two of the three creators of WITCH - Canepa & Barbucci. So it's not impossible that they also share comic artists.

i miss lukas ☹️

​@@talkytilki Same, I ship those two 💖

omg yes i would live for even a 'shorts' format of 10-15 min animated retellings of the comics! they could do it in the old art style and have it as a companion to the main show, where it's not technically canon to the main storyline, but it's not breaking it either... kind of more character driven explorations of the winx world.
