I don't know why, but you know what series I've been thinking about lately? Tales of Arcadia. Like I was never super into it, but I enjoyed Trollhunters. Yet everything that came after it dipped in quality. 3Below and Wizards both had their enjoyment but was also full of problems, especially Wizards given how rushed and cluttered the show was. It definitely needed to do what 3Below did in which we saw Douxie misadventures before/during the events of Trollhunters and 3Below.
But if that wasn't bad enough, the way this trilogy ended was awful! Not only did Rise of the Titans have several awful moments (seriously, what the heck was with that joke of Steve becoming pregnant due to kissing Aja) but the ending completely erases everything that the trilogy has done over the last few years. And I still don't understand it why Jim would let Tobey become the Trollhunter?

Missing the Tarrons sibs sm 🥺💙❤️
Also introducing my Aja redesign, I really would have loved if aja had krel’s skin tone, would have been great to see. It would have created more diversity to ToA where it lacks oof. Anyways she turned out very cute, I love her 😭💖💕 also inspired by my edits here

Can you do a drawing of all members of the guardians of arcadia?
I heard there's a possibility of a continued storyline as a result of the not so well received ending of the movie.
So all known members, please?
Hey, emmmm, Normally I would deny this request since I have an internal policy of not taking drawing too complicated to request, I also have commissions and I don't work for free (I only take simple requests), But, I had intentions of doing it jsjjs, I have a mini serie of character tables whose goal was to put all them together, But in the end I strayed from the idea and decided not to do it because the format didn't make it convenient jsjsj and I didn't have the straight of drawing AAARRRGGHH and Blinky jsjsj

Might not do it anytime soon, it's like a LOT of work, but, If you want to see it, I would appreciate it if you could send me references of group photos of how you think the drawing would be cool, Cause I really want to do a group drawing of them uwu

☆𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓣𝓸𝓐 𝓰𝓪��𝓰 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓪 𝓬𝓵𝓾𝓶𝓼𝔂 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓻 ☆ (yea pretty basic but it’s the best I got rn 😭)
Tumblr media
Warnings: slightly angsty??,cringe,slightly cursing but otherwise fluff, mentions of burning….??? And fire??mentions of injury, car crashing, and stalking?? Blinky bro- get it together man
This is so long help 💀💀😭 (also sorry I didn’t include some of the characters I got lazy)
Jimbo
Tumblr media
Jim…to say he worry’s for you is an understatement
Feels like he has to be there watching your every move so there’s no accidents
You’re bumping into walls, poles, signs, breaking things,tripping,accidentally burning things
Jim is kinda of confused…how did you not see that pole….it’s right there
But he doesn’t have the heart to throw shade your way
Even if you do break things
Very important things
In all truthfulness he is frustrated but never mad, especially at you
Even when frustrated he doesn’t snap at you or lash out (even if he did I wouldn’t even count it as that, he just doesn’t seem like the type to yell at his s/o or anyone for that matter)
He just tries to fix it to the best of his ability
And if you try to fix it, he’ll definitely appreciate it even if it is a little…..banged up
As for the burning….
After the first time you cooked together…
Wouldn’t let you near the; stove,microwave,oven, or even the toaster without his supervision
He’s just trying to keep you safe, he doesn’t want an accident to happen, so…can you really blame him???
If you’re able to drive no you’re not 😃
You’re not getting in that car
Is scared you’ll slip up and get hurt or worse
So he’ll ride in the car with you if you’re driving
Once he gets his drivers license, you’re not driving it for a while 🧍🏾‍♀️he’s just looking out for you
When you trip he tries his best to catch to catch you but there’s no guarantee
He also tries to pull you out the way when there’s a pole which usually works
Unless he’s distracted
Another thing, he’d never laugh if you fell, and he’d always help you back up
He’s so sweet I love him he’s such a gentleman 💙
Toby pie
Tumblr media
Tbh he was probably scared of you at first 💀💀💀
Thought you were bad luck (thank eli for that)
He quickly figured out that wasn’t true
Nothing happened to him when you were around
It was just you tripping and falling 😭😭
He did try to help you to the best of his ability
Surprised whenever you bumped into a pole
“How did you not see that?!?! It was right there!!!”
Throws shade at you all the time for falling tripping, or worse
But always does it lightheartedly
Tells you to ‘be careful’ but you him both know that’s not possible, even if you tried
The burning now…
That’s what has him paranoid
What if you’re house burns down
“You burned my house to the ground” (sorry not sorry)
But still
Every time you tell him you’re cooking, he tells you to be careful or asks if he can help
Even if you say you don’t he’ll show up anyway 💀💀(“how I got you address…?…….don’t even worry about that bruh-“)
I mean you don’t want your house crispy do you?? 😭💀
Usually asks what you’re doing so he can keep track and be aware of what could go wrong
He’s lucky you’re just clumsy
Not one to laugh when you fall, but he has that stupid smile on his face while he helps you up
If you can drive, he feels very anxious about you driving
Doesn’t want you to get hurt or deal with the trouble of having to buy a new one and have the same thing happened over and over
So he offered to drive it for you (despite not having his license💀💀)
Either way start praying
If you break something, he helps you clean it up or just fixes it for you
If it’s something important, it’s likely that you never broke it because he never let you near it 😭😭 (no shade to you he’s just being careful)
But if you do break something important he��s definitely frustrated and you can tell
Toby is a very honest person, so he usually voices how he feels and his opinion
In this scenario…dw he’s not the type to yell at you or anything but he will slightly raise his voice an octave or two
But you can tell he’s upset
“I told you to be careful!! I told you this was really important, and to be careful with it……why didn’t you listen to me”
He knows that even if you tried you couldn’t but is still frustrated
But he’s not mad at you, he could never be mad at you
You usually try to fix it afterwards, which he is great full for that
Like a lot
(He’s so sweet I love Toby 🧡)
Claire bear
Tumblr media
Tbh she just feels bad for you
You bump into stuff, fall and trip, burn things in chemistry by accident (you got ms. Janeth growing gray hairs💀💀)
And you break your own projects and assignments 😭😭😭
She usually offers to help you fix it
Let’s you know when there’s a pole or wall up ahead
Tries to stop you from tripping, but once again no guarantee
Is praying you don’t or haven’t already fell down the stairs (you have)
Tries to cook you food before you try to make it or she’ll buy you so many snacks or take out that you don’t even need to make lunch or make food 💀💀
Will also try and keep track of where you are so that she can be there to help you if you’re in danger
If you’ve got a car, she won’t necessarily drive it for you or tell you not to drive you
But will offer for you to ride or walk with her to spend time with you
And she’ll ask you almost everyday(she’s so slick)
It’s her little way of getting you to not drive the car without outright telling you (Claire is so smart, Claire>>>>>>)
Definitely helps you clean if you break something, if its glass…you’re not going anywhere near it or the mess you just made
Knowing you, you’d probably step on it or worse
If you break something important, like Toby, she probably didn’t let you near it in the first place
If you do break it…..
She’ll definitely be pissed
But she won’t say anything (that’s how you know bruh 💀)
She definitely wouldn’t yell at you, like at all
She wouldn’t even know what to say
In the end she feels bad because SHE thinks that YOU think she hates you
She doesn’t, and she lets you know that after a bit or after she’s calmed down
She’s more so frustrated than mad
If you try to fix it, she’ll definitely appreciate that
(Claire is a W girlfriend)
AAARRRGGHH
Tumblr media
Confused as to why you keep bumping into walls and poles
Can you not see??? Are you blind??
Toby tells him you’re just clumsy but…..he doesn’t understand
What does clumsy mean?? And what does that have to do with you falling all the time??
Catches you when you trip or fall, not just sometimes, but all the time
He doesn’t pull you out of the way when there’s a wall or a pole
Instead he picks you up :)
Offers to carry you so that it’s less hazardous for you when traveling
Feels a little uneasy when you drive a car 😭😭
He doesn’t want you to crash okay 😭
As for cooking..
No 😃
Hell no😦
He can’t really stop you…
Well not that he can’t he just doesn’t 💀💀
The others keep track of you for him (mainly Toby)
So they’re there supervising, you…a grown adult
They know you feel embarrassed but they don’t care, they’re saving your life
And your house-
But anyways back to AAARRRGGHH
Won’t stop you from driving a car, but if you get in an accident even once
Gets nervous about you driving one again or any vehicle for that matter
If you break something he’s probably gonna eat it 💀💀 (if it is something he can eat)
Dw it doesn’t hurt him even if it is broken glass
If you break something important, he probably wouldn’t even be mad
Not even frustrated more so sad if anything at all
Does say anything either just holds it looking sad
Which makes you feel bad (and sad)
So you fix it (or try at least)
Which he very much appreciates, and it lifts his spirits quite a bit :) 💚
Blinky
Tumblr media
Also confused as to how your bumping into walls
Like bbg can you not see???
Probably thought you had bad luck but after a while figured out that wasn’t the case
Still a bit cautious around you though
Tries to warn you when there’s a pole but is usually too late
Also try’s to catch you when you trip, which he always does of course cus it’s Blinkous duh 🙄 (my 5th hubby wubby/hj)
For his own sake he HAS to be there to watch you cook
Also you’ve caught him following you from time to time, he’s just looking out for you buddy, he’s trying his best
He mainly just asks where you’re headed so he can know what you’re up to
Will try and distract you from getting into your car (doesn’t work and if it does it’s rare)
And since you know how stressed he gets about you driving, and since you don’t want to stress him out further
You’ll usually just walk
If you break something he’ll probably clean it up for you or help fix it
If it was something important, he probably was sure to keep it on him so that there’s less of a chance of you breaking it
If you do break something important, he’d definitely be frustrated but not mad per say
And you can tell
He just sighs and quietly grumbles whilst trying his best to fix it
Would not give you the chance to fix it at all and is scared you’ll break it further
In the end he let’s it go because he knows you can’t help it
Even though you stress him out sometimes he still loves you (I love my hubby wubby)
Douxie
Tumblr media
Finds it partially amusing that you bump into poles and walls
But if you fall over or are actually hurt by it then that’s where the hilarity of it ends
At first he thought you just had bad luck or something, but he checked and you didn’t
So you explain you were just really clumsy…and partially hazardous 💀💀
Pulls you out the way if there’s a pole up ahead or just warns you before you hit the pole and or wall
Usually catches you if you fall and if HE doesn’t then he was probably just using his magic
Sometimes if he’s in a particular mood he’ll let you fall, but he’ll make sure that you don’t get hurt (but still 💀💀)
Doesn’t trust you in the car, so he ‘offers’ to drive for you
If you do drive……naur 💀💀
He’s getting out
And throws shade at you while doing so (lightheartedly of course)
He doesn’t let you cook either, he doesn’t have the insurance for an apartment fire (💀💀💀💀 I’m sorry, no like I’m actually sorry that’s funny and it shouldn’t be)
So instead of supervising he’s the one doing the cooking
But usually gets take out so there’s less of a chance
He barely trusts you the toaster
The amount of times you’ve broken something is beyond me 😭😭
If you break something, he’ll help you clean it, or offer too at least
He knows you’re an adult and you can handle it yourself but he doesn’t want you to be hurt
Especially if it’s broken glass
If you break something of importance
Tbh idek what his reaction is
Believe it or not
He’s only a little frustrated, if at all
He’s more so exasperated if anything
When he sees it broken he’s just like “oh……here give it to me I’ll fix it”
🧍🏾‍♀️like bro ur not mad??
If you’re insistent on fixing it (which you are) then he’ll let you
He does appreciate it though
Like a lot
Steve the Palchuk
Tumblr media
Probably made fun of you and laughed at you whenever you fell when he first met you
Then was kinda scared of you cause Eli told him you were bad luck
But now he doesn’t
He’s still somewhat amused
Just no longer out right making fun of you
He does help you up when you fall
“Hey, watch where you’re going, I don’t want you getting hurt..”
Yes pookie
Anyways, Steven usually tries to catch you
But he’s also a bit clumsy so you both end up falling down 😭😭
He is definitely one to warn you, not just when there’s poles in front of you but around you as well
Will sometimes pull you out of the way closer to him to look…heroic??? (Steve come on-)
Doesn’t let you drive his Vespa
And if you have a car of your own
😅 nah man-
“Oh please fuck that car, get on my Vespa” 💀💀💀
Doesn’t understand how tf you burn things
How???? Especially if you were watching it the whole time
As much as he wants to protect you but still
He’s scared to come over when you cook
Especially if it’s over the stove
If you break something he usually offers to help fix it or pay for it
Even if he doesn’t have the money for it (aww Steve 🥲)
If you break something important
He won’t be mad more frustrated
And if it has anything to do with the sake of Arcadia then he’s scared screaming and running around like a little girl
So you have to calm him down and apologize
You and him do try to fix it so he’s feeling a lot better
But still he’s nervous, are you just clumsy or bad luck???
Was Eli right???
Nahh someone this sweet could never be bad luck
Aja
Tumblr media
She’s never met a human this….
Clumsy??? Is that the word
Doesn’t understand why you’re bumping into poles, “they’re in front of you how did you not see them…?”
Same with walls, you’ve had to have seen it….are you blind
When you trip, she’ll giggle a little bit but she’ll help you up
She thinks you’re so silly
The amount of times you’ve broken your own projects and assignments is astonishing to her
Has watched you burn things without literally trying
And is just like 🧍🏼‍♀️”how did you do that??? Show me!!” (💀💀)
Watches you when you’re cooking
After a while connects the dots, your forbidden from the kitchen (unless it’s to eat)
If you’ve got a car
She won’t stop you from driving it
But is still worried
If you get into an accident then she probably wouldn’t let you drive it for a while after that
If you break something, she’ll offer to fix it
If it’s tech she’ll take it to krel to fix and probably improve :)
If it’s something important
Tbh I don’t see her being mad about that seeing that you didn’t do it on purpose
“I told you to be careful!!…….now look…..”
“Sorry I’m just frustrated….”
But the thing is she doesn’t look or seem frustrated
She looks more worried and sad if anything
She appreciates that you offered to fix it
Dw it’s not that she doesn’t trust you or thinks you’ll break it
It’s just that whatever it was probably wasn’t something you could fix
So now she keeps important stuff in a certain place that you can’t reach, or would have a hard time try at least
But she loves you even if you are a clumsy silly little human (I nominate Aja to be my girlfriend)
Krel
Tumblr media
Now this…….I’ve been waiting for this (I’m literally obsessed with this boy I love him sm)
Is also confused as to why are you are bumping into walls
“Ay yi yi yi…….are you a soolian??….it was right there…you saw it coming!!!”
Eli also told krel you were bad luck 🧍🏾‍♀️
Which krel, boy genius, obviously didn’t believe
I don’t see him pulling you out of the way when there’s a pole or a wall, I don’t really see him warning you much either 💀💀
On a good day he probably would
If it were something that could hurt you or worse would probably do both
“Be careful!!! And watch where you’re going, my love you know I can’t stand to see you hurt” 😍😍😍
Krel >>>>>>>>
Anyways
Probably laughs when you fall, but helps you up)
Except when you’re hurt, then he probably feels bad and helps you up
Is actually scared FOR you
Like constantly
Bro is going through enough he don’t need this 💀
The fires, possible car accidents
💀💀he’s horrified
If you’ve got a car or something
Not anymore
He’s not letting you get in that
Literally forbids you
“As king in waiting of akiridion 5, I hereby forbid you from going in that death machine”
“Krel…….this is earth….now get out of my way I’m going to the mall-“
Probably had luug piss on your tires (making them pop, or melt…..probably-)💀💀💀
Either way you’re not getting in that car
Now the burning…..
Naur-
If it’s in chemistry class
He’s probably yelling and screaming along with everyone else😭😭
If it’s because you were cooking
NO
Nope
He gives you a blank bot so that you never have to cook again!!! 😃
And if that’s not good enough for you then sure go ahead burn your house down 💀💀💀
He’s just trying to protect you
If you break something it kinda scares him or makes him nervous
Not too sure why
He does offer to help you clean it up
Or more likely fix and improve it in any way he can
Or he’ll use parts of it (for god knows what)
If you broke something important he probably kept it away from you anyways (sorry y/n)
If you did manage to break something important
He’d be frustrated definitely
But not mad seeing as you didn’t do it on purpose
“I keep telling you to be careful!! Why don’t you listen!!! Ugh….great now I have to fix it”
That and other things pretty hurtful things in all honesty are things he says in the heat of the moment
After a while he calms down
He knows you can’t control it so what’s the point in yelling at you for it, you apologized and tried to help what’s the point in being upset
He does think you’re adorable and loves you, but when breaking his inventions….it hard to think so (no he still thinks you’re adorable)
Eli
Couldn’t add a gif for him so anyways but yea 😔
Like I said before
Bro is horrified of you
You must be bad luck or something
After a month or two of watching you…(wtf Eli not again)
He realizes that he might be wrong
None of your friends ever got hurt, just you
He’s thinking about investigating you
Which he does
You just explain to him that you’re a little bit clumsy
“Yea…., a little clumsy….”
C’mon you fell over the railing that’s not clumsy mf 🙄/j
He genuinely thinks you’ve been cursed but what’s the point in telling you that, you have enough going on
You almost burned your house down for gods sake you don’t need anything else rn
Tries to warn you if there’s a pole or a wall(the majority of the time you don’t hear him)
At this point he just feels bad for you…
If you trip he’ll try to catch you but ends up falling down with you
Won’t laugh if you fall, he’ll just help you up and tell you to be careful (even though he knows damn well you can’t 💀💀)
Like I said before Eli….thought you were cursed
So when a fire breaks out and you’re the cause
He starts freaking out
He does know now that you aren’t….or might not be
But the possibility is still there…..(I’m Eli’s eyes at least)
Honestly he’s really scared for you
Like shaking in his boots scared
And gets extra scared when you don’t respond to his texts he keeps thinking something happened
Eli is definitely a bit paranoid as always
Honestly if you break anything he’d probably just let you clean it or if it were too big of a mess he’d probably helped
If it was important he probably fixes it or at least tries
It’s not that he doesn’t trust you
It’s just that he doesn’t trust whatever the fuck type of borderline hazardous shit is gonna happen yet
Especially if it’s an item that could be considered a weapon
Eli doesn’t even have to worry about you crashing your car
You wanna know why??
CUZ THIS ASSHOLE RATTED YOU OUT 💀💀
He told your parent(s) about the time you snuck out (to go see him 💀) and that you had basically crashed your car on the way back
Needless to say you no longer have car keys
You and Eli ended out getting into a big fight later about it
But more on that later 💪🐺🐺
Yea he loves you obviously
Even if he does think your cursed
But that’s not gonna stop him from loving you
(Sorry this was short I had to finish it quick tho)

A comic for my Akiridion Aide au where a zombie apocalypse breaks out on Earth, and the Akiridions scramble to save as many uninfected humans as they can.
If I was hiking through the mountains for the past year and had no access to working modern amenities like bathrooms I too would be grateful at the offer of a hot shower.
(Aja & Krel are common akiridions and Jim, Toby, Claire, Steve, Darci, and Mary were in college during the outbreak)

Ok so I watched rise of the titans and it was... An experience...
The things I loved/liked:
Children of the sun summoning the amulet sequence. It was pretty cool. But it's funny this is one of the things in this category since it was basically ripped straight out of the scene in 1x12. But I don't mind a little self plagiarism if it's satisfying
Toby actually being smart and having a part in the defeat of bellroc
Toby's last moments with Jim. Not to say I liked Toby dying that was fucking horrible but seeing Toby and Jim be close again was something that had been desperately absent for a few seasons. And the idea that Jim even after winning would sacrifice the entire world and take on the burden of going back into the past himself, just to save Toby is kinda sweet even if this movie didn't go in that direction. Cuz it just proves this boy would give up anything for his friends and that's one of his core qualities and why we all love him
The opening sequence on the subway. That was pretty excellent and raised the hype and allowed everyone an equal chance to shine
Aarrrgghh going batshit when Toby dies cuz mood
The taco truck with the little tune entering arcadia and all the government are like 'remove the barricades, let them through!!'
Jlaire was pretty cute in this movie, not the best it's ever been but y'know.
Douxie was pretty good throughout
The things I was ok/unsure about:
Ajas characterisation. I know a lot of people hated it in this movie but it wasn't the worst. She acted like a leader trying to protect two worlds of people, and that's entirely fair tbh. I didn't like how she doubted Jim but as she didn't know him that well especially as neither of them remember the events of d'aja vu it was kinda understandable. And I agreed that they did need a contingency evacuation plan
Krel. He was consistently good in this movie as usual but didn't get enough time to shine individually, same goes for blinky and aarrrgghh
Stricklake getting married was cute, however I didn't like how Barbara was used as a mouthpiece to mediate all of Jim's relationships with the older men in his life, i.e. when her and Jim talked it was either about strickler or James SR. and honestly that's just a disservice to Barbara's own character (and makes me realize that I doubt this movie passes the bechdel test)
The things I disliked:
Eli basically doing nothing all movie and being useless
Having Eli come back after a glow up for the sole purpose of having a moment where Steve is jealous and distrusting of his girlfriend. Actually no this can go in the hate category too ❤️
Jim saying 'i always wondered about dad' to his mom. The only reason this isn't in the hate category is bc it meant we actually spent time on the relationship between Jim and Barbara which is something that was sorely lacking in wizards tbh, and something that really made trollhunters shine. But what happened to 1x17's 'you know I don't care about my father'? Like what is this bfr
Toby being used as comic relief didn't bother me in this as much as in wizards cuz at least he got that important moment at the end but him saying 'moral support is the lamest superpower' what happened to the Toby that cherished supporting his friends and knew that his support was the greatest gift he could give to Jim and Claire just as their support was his greatest gift. Cuz that seemed like a key factor in earlier seasons imo. Also what happened to the Toby that started becoming confident in his abilities in earlier seasons of trollhunters?
The blatant Hollywood stereotyping. The kids kicking the football in Brazil and the fishermen in the South China sea, and then the bright neon lights of anywhere in east Asia at nighttime visual. It's not the worst but I'm tired tbh
The things that I absolutely fucking hated:
This shouldn't matter to me so much, but why when Jim went back into the past, did he wake up at 8.00 instead of 6.00? You could claim it was because it was cuz he was disoriented, but the time of his alarm should never have changed. If I remember that it said 6.00 on the alarm, and I haven't watched the first episode since probably 2018, the screenwriters should've too. It's just lazy. Or maybe it's symbolic of the fact that Jim only used to wake up at 6.00 to make his mom breakfast and all of them lunch, something which was a key part of his characterisation and clearly showed how much he cared for and loved the people around him - something which is very obviously no longer a part of his character since he allowed Steve to bully Eli and manipulated Toby into becoming the trollhunter. But idk. You choose
Nomura's characterisation?? First of all she just seemed ooc, like a stereotype version of herself for some reason. Secondly, her death. She died. In the sun. She's a changeling. The sloppiness of the writing team in keeping their facts straight is fucking astounding.
Stricklers death. Just for shock value and a play on emotions cuz it contributed nothing to the story. Same with nomuras. All it showed me is that the writing team were sitting around a table and someone goes 'you know we should kill off a few characters early on in the movie just to show this is a serious level threat'.
Pregnancy being used as a fucking joke. I wouldn't have necessarily minded the mpreg concept happening but the execution was just. Ugh. Steve being pregnant was treated as a joke and gross and just something to fill in time as comic relief, rather than what pregnancy actually is which is fucking hard work. It just seems like another extended misogyny-as-comic-relief trope again and Steve's character and everything was thrown down the drain
Toby Jim and Claire not having a group moment together. There was a scene somewhere in the movie where Claire was comforting Jim and I was wishing Toby was there too. If they're going to play the moral support joke with him at least have him be there when morals are at the lowest
Toby being stuck to the van. The treatment of his character in general throughout the last half of the franchise, he should've been given proper development as a character since trollhunters ended but fuck that I guess
Getting human Jim back was WASTED. Utterly wasted on this poor excuse for a movie. The peak of Jim's character arc was accepting himself in every form even when his humanity was stolen from him. The 'am I a hero without the amulet' in this and even the corruption storyline in wizards were both forced, particularly the former, as we'd already gone through that part of his arc in s2 (and it was one of the best arcs this franchise has produced frankly). It was really really apparent they couldn't think of anywhere to go with his character but still wanted to use him bc he remained the most popular. Fanfiction writers can and have done better. Fuck this movie
The lack of emotional maturity and depth between a lot of the characters honestly?? I really don't know how to explain this other than anytime this movie paused to have an emotional conversation or moment between two characters it seemed hollow and worthless because none of them were going through true important character arcs
I'm sure I have more things in this category but for now this is all I can think of. Might rb later with more if I can think of more things that really annoyed me :)) time to rewatch trollhunters s1 and remember how good this franchise used to be :))

Okay, I'm an idiot!!! (Trollhunters Ending Revelation)
So, someone pointed this out to me recently and I just want to cry!! HERE ME OUT.............the ending to Rise of the Titans is actually better than you think cus there were some details I think were meant to be more obvious than they came across.
FIRST - We're all peeved that going back in time erased everyone's memories and therefore relationships and character development. However, when they go back Tobey is suddenly able to climb the rope in gym class and Claire seems to be paying attention more to Jim than last time. Especially when he is giving his speech at the audition, having a rewatch made me realize as soon as he starts speaking she has a look of recognition, almost like she thinks she's heard this speech somewhere before. Not only that but Barbara and Stickler got along incredibly quickly for 2 people who had only just met. These imply they have some sort of subconscious memory of the last timeline, WHICH considering Nari said time is NOT linear makes sense, cus if it was liner everything would be exactly the same as the first time without these subtle changes. Also, Nari said the ninth configuration is the key, the amulet would only work after they figured this out, if that's the case maybe Nari knew the amulet would to some degree protect them from complete amnesia, they just need to be 'woken up' so to speak. (Also since Merlin and Nari will be alive again they might actually be able to help with this too, especially Nari, she's the demi-god that gave them this advice for goodness sake!!!)
SECOND - The new amulet is 'For the good of all' which does tie directly into going back in time to save EVERYONE.
THIRD - Jim went back in time using the new Akiridion amulet, that means HE STILL HAS IT!!!! The message of the entire movie with Jim is that he now doesn't need the original amulet to be the Trollhunter, he always has been and always will be. Thats why the original amulet chose Toby instead of Jim the second time, it knows Jim doesn't need it anymore and can continue fighting as he is, he will ALWAYS be the Trollhunter with or without it. Jim also knows if he sticks to the original time things will end up the same and his friends that had died will still die, he's urging Toby to be the new Trollhunter to protect him in the coming fights.
There were a couple more points and details but honestly it's 3am and my ADHD brain has forgotten the rest and lost the TikTok I watched 😅
Overall tbh I'm still not happy with the ending, BUT having these pointed out has given me a different less hostile viewpoint on it. I certainly think it's plausible that this was intended but didn't come across very clearly to audiences (myself very much included). Either way, however you wanna interpret it I'm sticking with this as cannon cus if fills me with a lot more hope for the ending than how I originally felt and I don't know about you but I like feeling happy! 🤣
