🔥 Introduction 🌹
"Vinix" is the ship between Phoenix Solaris and Victor Desrosiers from Bewilthred. Victor is initially established as having an implied crush on Phoenix which is eventually reciprocated.
To most outsiders looking in, Phoenix and Victor are as polarized as magnets. However, the two of them can’t seem to stay away from each other. While the two heavily contrast, Phoenix’s outspoken and especially proud nature inspires Victor to have that same pride in himself. Additionally, Phoenix admires and finds comfort in Victor’s quiet understanding. He affirms and makes her feel wanted and needed despite her rampant fears.
Victor’s affection for Phoenix, while obvious to everyone else, is initially not so obvious to her. Despite this however, the two learn a lot from each other over the course of the story, and who knows, maybe Phoenix will finally get a clue as to what Victor really thinks about her…
🔥 ACT 1 🌹
As Act 1 progresses, Phoenix and Victor inevitably get much closer. Victor’s crush on Phoenix is a surprise to few, but is especially obvious during Act 1. His bashful and shy demeanor around her is telling enough, but the fact he’s always looking for ways to bring her happiness doesn’t help either.
Phoenix is, admittedly, INCREDIBLY OBLIVIOUS to most of Victor’s advances. Not so much out of ignorance or even because she doesn’t feel similar, quite the contrary, but more so out of a state of denial. For a long while, Phoenix doesn’t know if she is ready or able to be loved in the way Victor loves her. Being convinced you’re a monster really doesn’t do wonders when someone else is trying to tell you otherwise. However, as things progress, Phoenix bit by bit lets Victor love her the way she deserves, and vice versa.

🔥 Trivia 🌹
- In 2020 they were my #1 fixation. That's why there's so much art of them from that era specifically LOL.
- Originally, Phoenix was created as a side character who Victor had a crush on. I liked her so much though that I fleshed her out into part of the main cast! #Lovewins
- Timeline wise, they're the first Bewilthred couple to officially get together.
- They co-parent Victor's pet rat Lucy.
- Kai learns about Victor's crush on Phoenix before Phoenix herself knows. Yes he and Jack intentionally wing-man for Victor afterwards and try to pair them up as a result, it's cute!
- Speaking of which, everyone eventually got the memo they had a crush on each other. It's like one of those yeah it was pretty obvious situations. They were not subtle. At all.
