“Texas” Is In “Lawrence V Texas” Not Because The Texas Government Was Unusually Bad - But Because

Honestly major L to Odysseus. What did he do? Trick one cyclops into thinking his name was Nobody. Try tricking millions of people into believing your name is Dave

The reasons why I think Stella and Bloom's friendship is amazing and is not something we often see

Or why Fate is trash

One aspect of Winx club I always loved growing up was the friendship between the girls. They all love each other, despite their very different personnalities and having some rough times.

While I could write an essay about almost every duo in Winx club, I do think that Stella and Bloom are the most interesting to analyze.

Even though they are part of a friend group, the show doesn't try to hide the fact that Stella and Bloom are each other best friend, they even say so themselves.

This friendship is truly groundbreaking when we think about it, for one simple reason: Bloom and Stella's archetypes usually hates each other when depicted together in media.

Hear me out.

Stella is the girly girl, the mean girl, the popular girl with a big mouth who can appear shallow. Plus, she's blond. She bases a big portion of her self-worth in her apperance. Basically, she's the Regina George of Winx Club.

Bloom, she's not like the other girls. There's nothing wrong with her, she's attractive and a sweetheart, yet she attracts attention for being different (in the show there are a few reasons for this, first she's from Earth and she's also the keeper of the Dragon Flame, making her a god-like existence in the story). She has messy hair, dresses in jeans, doesn't really care about her apperance... She's a fish out of water type of character, the character everyone can and wants to relate to. She's the Cady of Winx Club.

These two were designed to hate each other.

Taking into account Stella's nature, we expect her to hate Bloom out of sheer jealousy. Bloom doesn't try and gets all the attention, she's the new girl who turns out to be the one girl more powerful than her, she's also a princess. We could say that everything Stella can do, Bloom can do better.

And yet...

Stella would kill a bitch for Bloom. Never in the show does she display any sort of ill feelings toward Bloom, on the contrary, she spends her time trying to get her to be more confident in herself and her abilities. She's sweet with her and does her best to uplift her. I can say with confidence that Stella is the one person in the show who loves Bloom the most (tied with Daphne), like Sky doesn't hold A CANDLE to her.

When Bloom leaves on missions by herself she's worried sick, she's always clinging to her, teasing her, looking out for her. She's always the one there for Bloom when things get hard (when the Trix steal her powers, when Sky gets engaged to Diaspro, when she thinks of her family...)

And Bloom, she just loves Stella. She's the reason her dream became reality (it was her meeting with her which caused her to learn her true nature), and Stella took her under her wing to make it easier for her to fit into this new world. She saw from the beggining that Stella was willing to lie for her, to fight for her and she couldn't help but love her, even if she had a big mouth and quite the personnality. Stella brought lightness and laughter into her world, she was her anchor.

For real, just look at her reaction when Stella throws herself from the cliff in season two. She spends the episodes after that obsessing over finding and saving Stella.

These two can't live without each other even though one is the 'your typical mean girl' and the other is 'not like the other girls'.

Heck, everytime the villains freaking spy on the Winx these two are all over each other.

I think the heart of their friendship is their first meeting. Stella was what Bloom had dreamed of all her life: she was a real fairy, the living personnification of her dreams. She's the one who made her dream a reality. As for Stella, she was saved by a human who risked her life and stood up for her even though she didn't stand any chance and didn't know her. Bloom was just lucky she turned out to be a fairy. Bloom then took her to her house and took care of her, without expecting anything in return, which caused them to bond instantly.

That relationship was freaking transgressive for the time, and Fate's writers deserve jail for what they did to their friendship. Bloom and Stella fighting over a boy and Stella turning into the typical insecure and jealous mean girl? Hell no.

Look at these queens 🥹

There are people who still thinks they're straight ??? After seeing them ???

Tumblr has made me delusional to the point of forgetting that there's actually people out there that look at eddie munson and steve harrington and see two perfectly straight men

Sometimes I'm just going about my day and then remember Helluva Boss exists.

It's so unique and refreshing after decades of Family Guy and Rick and Morty and the rest of those adult shows that use their status to play their adult jokes like they're still something taboo, like they're sneaking candy.

"Ooh, ooh we're not supposed to do this! Can you believe we're doing it??" They're proud of all their characters being rude narcissists who hate everyone, including their friends, kids, and partners. They're so excited to portray people who are are stagnant in their negative characteristics and have shows where the brightest things about them is their colors. They make light of mature concepts. The art styles are all bland and intended to be cranked out as fast as possible. Inexpressive and mass-produced. Jokes are lazy and bigoted and immature at best. No thought or effort is put in whatsoever.

Meanwhile Helluva Boss is on the other end of the spectrum. "Yeah, we're doing this, that's why we're here. If you're not going to at least try to engage you're gonna get bored." They're proud of showing multiple types of relationships and the varying aspects of them, especially when so many of those are positive, working towards being positive, or experiencing the consequences of characters' actions that might hurt them instead. They're excited to show the depth to these characters and how they affect each other and how brightness is not only something they can show visually but portray in the world too, even in a setting like hell. They occasionally make light of mature concepts, but only when they aren't the focus and have no bearing on the overall episode or character. Otherwise, heavy topics are respected and communicated with the expectation that the audience will treat them accordingly. The art style is expressive and takes time to animate - time and effort is put in. They give the middle finger to bigots and make the entire cast some form of character that would be ridiculed by others. There is an incredible amount of effort and thought put in to this project.

We have an adult animated show that unapologetically and enthusiastically shows queer people and queer relationships without implying that they're inherently bad, shows people who feel like outcasts or experience difficulties with life and are dealing with those, shows difficult and negative people who are developing and growing in real time. It expects its viewers to act like adults and doesn't try to take itself too seriously or too flippantly.

It's an exceptional relief that this show exists, I'm so excited to see it continue.
