User blog comment:The Oblivious Prattler/The Winx's Love Lives/@comment-29197449-20170325182935

To be honest, I'm fine with some variation, though, Rainbow should handle it with more tact at the very least. One major problem with Rainbow and writing romance is that they don't really handle it well. Even with all of the breakups/drama that goes on, almost none of it is really natural.

Flora's behavior in S7 (constantly being mad at Amarok and, by extension Helia whenever he tries to defend Amarok) just has me thinking that there may be some more tension between them come S8. Boy, if Flora was worried about Helia breaking up with her in S5, she better not be expecting him to take all of that S7 sass lying down.

Then there's the infamous Musa/Riven breakup. I would've been fine with that if they just didn't revert Riven back to his S1 self. Y'know, after about 3 years of mellowing out (excluding S4 for obvious reasons). They also never address whenever any of the Winx may be in the wrong. Remember when Musa suspected Riven of cheating on her simply because he was hanging around another girl that happened to be attractive? It's never addressed! It also could've proven that Riven isn't always in the wrong when it came to their relationship, too.

I know the comics aren't canon, but I really enjoy how they explore the Winx's love lives. If we added all of the romantic relationships that the Winx go through in the comics, it'd look a bit like this: It doesn't change by a whole lot and I'm not pointing fingers at the series writers considering that the comics can explore vastly different possibilities because they'll never be considered canon.
 * Bloom: engaged to her 2nd boyfriend but went through a 3rd one during her momentary break up with Sky in Issue 75.
 * Stella: still engaged to possibly her 1st boyfriend but went through a few crushes.
 * Flora: dating her 1st.
 * Tecna: dating her 1st but almost lost him for good after being tricked.
 * Musa: Single but went through 2 boyfriends and 2 mutual crushes.
 * Aisha: Dating her 3rd boyfriend (she didn't date Roy in the comics, right?)
