I actually disagree with Majority of the fandom says about Musa being consistently right to be a way from Riven because Riven actually did change his tude and his behaviour from Season 1-3 and from Season 3-6 Musa only gives him backhanded compliments the very first signs of a very Passive Aggressive Character. And I disagree about Season 8 not because Riven doesn't deserve the girl because he actually does deserve her, but on the fact Musa actually doesn't deserve him.
"Yep, let your mind be blown apart!" That's right I said a forbidden sentence nobody's ever said yet about Musa's character. News Flash people Musa isn't the perfect little angel you thought she was. In fact she is the worst developed in the cartoon show with having very little of a good character arc and sadly that makes her one of the worst role models for young girls and older girls even worse than Stella. Stella was bad, but Musa is way more of a headache from Season 3-Season 6.
1 sign of Passive Agressive behavior is Backhanded compliments compliments that are neither polite or mean and yet still come out mean. ✅Musa's done that several times in Season 1, Season 3, The Secrets of The Lost Kingdom, Season 4 and Season 6 and I'm not surprised about Riven's reaction to it, Skylights. Compared to her while her anger keeps climbing and getting worse with each season he is actually able to control his own very well in the later Seasons.
Riven's also stopped being so judgemental and has had time to think over his feelings whereas Musa does not progress in this unless it is with her friendships. This is is why I actually dislike the Season 8 episode with the Star of Harmony because it makes Musa's character development over-rushed you cannot toss away that much anger immediately especially if you had a best friend who hadn't been able to let go of the same kind of anger for three seasons. It's just completely unfair and absolutely truly unnaturally unrealistic to the audience to lie to their faces like this.
And here's something else to consider Musa and Riven's relationship are not just a gender swap but a role swap if you think about it in the sense of Beauty and the Beast Musa actually does play the Beast in Riven's story from Season 3-6 and his walking out on her makes a ton of sense to me.
And the biggest mistake Musa makes which the Beast/the Prince in Disney doesn't make is writing "Heart of Stone!" is Musa's secret way of revenge of getting back at Riven it is the most ugly thing you could ever do to your boyfriend.
I'd hate to say it but when it comes to Musa expecting Riven to perfect and agree with her 100% of the time this is very oppressive captor behavior she is giving off with every word that comes out of her mouth in a negative tone. She fits right into the Stockholm Syndrome vibe, Skylights. And in all honestly I'd rather meet Stella or Bloom's or Flora's actress or even Aisha's or Roxy's or Tecna's or Selina's voice actress in real life, because her character for Musa is dangerously askew, and if that's how character's sound I can't imagine the voice of the person behind them would be very fun to meet in person face to face. I don't have faith for Musa's character improving much in the next Season, Skylights.
Please if you want to scare your boyfriend/girlfriend make sure they are aware afterward by being completely honest that you were being bored and doing it for fun, Skylights. And never do it for the reasons Musa keeps doing it. As a singer Musa should have known so much better than she actually does do. Musa is not a good or great example of a role model when it comes to a romance she's quite terrible at it. And so Musa doesn't make my top favorites amongst the Winx members in the full team. I'm sorry Musa but you're very much at 2 stars rank when it comes to this perspective, girl.
Normaniforever4 Pyrix_Fairy you've might have seen most of this, but I added an image. Can you find the familiar image that has the change?
