sometimes a family is a one handed king/thief, his tomboy cousin, his tomboy cousin's nerdy husband, his ruthless wife, his wife's former secretary of the archives, the secretary's lover who is the captain of the guard, the little monster they adopted who's good at math, a himbo soldier, the himbo soldier's ex-slave boyfriend, twin babies and another one on the way, an entire pantheon of gods, and three elephants (but no horses).

What's sad about ROTT to me is that I don't think Jim going back in time and letting Toby be the trollhunter was out of character for him. Most people being given the power to control time would go back to prevent the deaths of those they loved in a heartbeat. And starting from the beginning (getting the amulet) to mitigate other losses (like Draal) makes sense from a character perspective. Even giving the amulet to Toby I can justify b/c Jim knows/feels he doesn't need the amulet to be a Trollhunter. Trollhunters(the series, I mean) made of point of letting us know that Claire, Tobes, Blinky, Aaarrrgghh, etc. were just as much Trollhunters as Jim was. Toby is just as deserving of the title of The Trollhunter as Jim is/was. Jim trusts Toby with his life and believes he can handle it.
And Jim isn't going to make the same mistake as he did when Merlin sent him back in time/gave him the false vision (do not remember the episode name of the top of my head). He's not going to live his life while others suffer. He's going to be an active part of the plot and will try to ensure that no one dies needlessly.
The problem lies in literally everything else surrounding it that makes it a frustrating decision (as in narrative wise especially). More thoughts after work.

Greetings all!
I'm back here with a new painting of mine that is a colourised version of the scenery drawing contained in the sixth book of the Queen's Thief series, Return of The Thief by @meganwhalenturner to celebrate its first year anniversary.
This shall be my second Queen's Thief painting (do check out for the first one!). I have noticed that the golden outlines have become a must when painting Queen's Thief related arts 🌟
Thanks for having a look,
"Be blessed in your endeavors."

Post-RoTT missing scenes with Relius and Teleus and Irene (and family) I keep thinking of:
1. In KoA there’s a lot of talk about Relius teaching Irene "the craft of manipulation and intrigue” and “teaching her to use men as tools, and as weapons, and to survive in a world where trust had no place”... Reading the scenes where Relius is an actual tutor to Pheris, a child, made me think of this first, more unconventional tutoring... I wonder how it went, and,
2. I wonder how much older than Irene T and R are... Sometimes I think it can’t be that much. Which makes the whole thing a little more heartbreaking somehow :~
3. Missing scene with Teleus and Relius licking each other’s wounds re: failing to save Irene from having to marry the Thief 😬 I imagine half the hatred they dedicate Gen is partially their own guilt for the disaster of her kidnapping in Ephrata
They’re the closest thing to a family that Irene has (which is really very sad!!)
I wonder if they knew each other before they met in the service of Irene. I wonder how the way they talk about her in the privacy of their meetings changes throughout the books.
I also wonder a lot about Irene’s heir. I think s/he is mentioned at some point in one of the books but in a super off-handed, vague way. I kept wondering when the author would bring this character up and was kinda surprised she never did.

Reasons why i don't hate RotT.
Tumblr media
In all the years since the movie came out there's been such an avalanche of hate towards it that i preferred not to write my thoughts about it. I get it, it's not the end we had expected, but i don't agree with the fandom's general opinion.
Hopefully after all this time the hatred has diminished enough so that at least some people will give my words a chance. I will try to stick to facts, not opinions. Spoilers ahead this point.
From what i've read, the fandom has two main problems with the ending: the characters' development was 'lost' with the time reset and Toby being the new trollhunter. So many things i want to say at once,... First, it was a time reset, not going to an alternate universe. What do i mean by this? The time reset didn't take away all the potential of any of the characters. -Blinky and Jim's father-son relationship. That relationship grew after spending time together; all the training, all the challenges, etc. Ok yes, Toby is now the one with the amulet, but Toby and Jim are best friends. So, just the same way Toby got into the trollhunters team the first time, Jim will get to join too. Jim and Blinky will get to spend time together again, how can people think their relationship will not grow again into what it was? Because Toby now has the amulet? Come on, Blinky became like a father to Jim because of who Jim is, not because he had an amulet.
Tumblr media
The training will now be focused on Toby, not Jim. So? That means more Jim-Blinky time. I can see them both side by side exchanging opinions while watching Toby's training.
Tumblr media
-Strickler. Do i really need to spend time on probing how Strickler will become good again? Wasn't it left quite clear that the story was going to head that way again? His love for Barbara was true. That's why Jim invited him to have dinner and meet his mother, to start that change in him. It's not as if Strickler had been this evil-concentrated kind of character. He was perfectly capable of change. And Jim's knowledge is the key for it to happen again. I think Jim's knowledge has been terribly underestimated by the fandom, but i will get to that later.
-Claire. Jlaire. How can some people doubt if it will happen again?
Tumblr media
With the way they showed us Claire was looking at Jim it was left crystal clear they were going to become a couple again.
Tumblr media
About Claire's powers. She discovered them after she stole the shadow staff from Angor Rot. Let's say Jim manages to change things and Strickler becomes good sooner, then he wouldn't release Angor Rot. So? Was Strickler the only changeling in Arcadia? Or in the world? Any other changeling can do that. Let's push it further and say no one will release Angor. Still, the shadow staff was just a tool. Claire had magic in her, it was part of her nature. I mean...
Tumblr media
She eventually learned how to do magic without the shadow staff. You may be thinking "But if she never gets the shadow staff then how can she learn to use magic?". The time reset brought back Gunmar, Bular, Morgana, etc. Also the Janus Order. Magical battles are to be expected again. Plenty of opportunities for her to learn about her magic in a different way than the shadow staff. And let's not forget that also Douxie is back in Arcadia. He could come to detect Claire's potential and train her. As i said, many ways for her to become Miss Super Witch again.
Tumblr media
-Steve. Of course I wasn't going to leave The Palchuck out. :) Four things were the main ingredients to Steve's arc. Jim's punch, Aja, that goblin that introduced him to the troll's world, and Eli. Jim has seen what Steve can become. I seriously doubt he will do nothing about it. Aja is Aja, she will hit the blond oaf once more. Again, i have no doubt about it. About that troll Steve met while taking out the trash. Arcadia is infested with trolls, so... When Steve approaches Eli again, i seriously doubt Eli's response would be different. So, I really think Sir Steve of Palchukia hasn't vanished from the new future. -Toby. I read someone saying that Toby wouldn't last a minute fighting against Bular. Yes, Toby is overweight. But honestly, when fighting a huge troll that is over 5,200 years, it's more about the lack of experience. Besides, remember how once transformed the amulet gives magical protection. There's another thing. A theory that i hadn't thought of but recently read. By the time the time reset happens Jim has his new amulet. So, wouldn't it follow that now there will be two amulets? Maybe Jim wouldn't use it right away. That's something we won't get to know, but can't we try to be more positive here? Another thing i've also read is people thinking the main characters won't meet again. Let's see... Jim is Toby's best friend. Toby now has the amulet, so through Toby Jim will meet Blinky, Aaarrrgh and all the other trolls again. Do you really think Jim and Toby will leave Claire out of the team? Seriously? Douxie, as i said before, the time reset didn't change the fact of Douxie living in arcadia. They are so meeting again. Aja and Krel will still need to leave Akiridion 5. So, there you go, those two will be in the same school again. Morando couldn't care less who got the amulet, he will still be coming. Most, if not all, the challenges that brought all the team together will happen again.
I'm sorry but a lot of people seem to be a bit too keen on wanting the worst case scenarios to happen after the time reset, even when what was shown to us in the trilogy didn't point that way. How can i be so sure? Well, didn't Nari said "Krohnisfere will make right"? Is it too crazy to think that she meant that things will be better after the time reset? That the time reset is the path towards the complete defeat of their enemies with as little deaths as possible on the side of good? Think about it. If the reset had brought them back to the beginning of the movie then the lives of Strickler, Nomura, Toby could be saved, but by going so far back to the past more lives can be saved: Vendel, Draal, Aja and Krel's parents. As i mentioned before, Jim's knowledge has been terribly underestimated. In this second chance Jim now knows that Usurna is a traitor. He knows the location of the Janus Order, the location of Merlin, etc., etc. This information will become so powerful. Isn't the chance to save all these lives enough to make the ending not terrible? The characters' developments weren't lost, just reset. And as i said in this post, i don't see why they won't grow again into what they had become. I guess the writers must had wanted to give us a different kind of ending. They took the risk and there we have the result. I get that the fandom wanted an ending with no loose ends, as little sacrifices as possible, but i do think the hate was too much. I can't help to feel sorry for the writers. All their hard work grilled the way it's been done. And think about the negative impact on people who hasn't see the show and feels curious about it. If they do a little research to learn where the story starts or just want to share their love for the first part of the trilogy they would surely come across hate towards RotT and maybe drop the show.
Anyway, hopefully some people will not hate the ending so much after reading my post.

I love this show so fucking much.
''maybe it's you the world doesn't want'' - ''they don't have to be on human time anymore. we wait for them now.'' - ''why don't you just walk away?'' ''he's all that I got.''
SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT BECAUSE I ONLY JUST WATCHED IT TODAY
.
I'm gonna THROW myself. Abbot's death, the fake-out Gus death, all the decorated stones on Aimee's grave, Johnny Abbot, Adi spiraling into chaos, Rani destroying the research, 'the loss of innocence' while it pans to Johnny's guitar, the confirmed deaths of Jepp's family, Rani living out in the open with a horse without any cure, Peter being alive one second and on that table the next (giving us no time to know him, just like Gus,) the fact birdie was burning antlers in the vision, Abbot getting his shit stamped in by buffalo, I could go on and on.
This show is so beautiful, not only visually but with how it's written. I'm aware there's a comic they have for reference, but I'm also aware there's a ton of differences (ex: im pretty sure jepps son lives in that one, plus all the race changes and stuff)
I was drawing johnny (before the Incident) when i was finishing up the last two episodes, thats all you need to know.
(also i might make a part 2 to this, because i rewatched it again and oh my GODD)
(edit: i finished the art! it's right here!)

omggg the print and paper quality of this book is so good😍😍😍😍
Tumblr media
my other thoughts under the cut
- the art took a massive dip in quality, the drawings looked strange and the colours were overly saturated and unfamiliar, it lacked the refinery from the previous instalments
- it wasnt the most enjoyable read, strange pacing all around
- felt…really really preachy
- concepts were interesting like ronin and the kids but needed a lot more development and i wish it was introduced a book or two earlier. like that is a LOT to unpack there
- riva and trellis being shoved together right at the end was ????
- i was tired of seeing navin so much in previous books so his screentime amount was fine but…what happened to his whole commander thing
- all the setup had ???? payoff…wha??
- so deus ex machina….
- payoffs didnt feel satisfying
- i just wish previous themes and concepts wasnt closed in such a rushed manner, or introduced in the last book
- im disappointed but it was entertaining and it got a good amount of verbal reaction out of me. art is supposed to make people feel an emotion and it most definitely succeeded there
- genuinely, im just really glad kazu kibuishi seems to be doing well and hes having a great time doing presentations and creating stories with his wife🥺

Post!ROTT idea: Jim tries using his knowledge of his future to change the course of history, but all the major plot points still happen, anyway. Enrique still gets abducted, Aaarrrgghh still gets hit with The Creepers Sun, Draal still looses his arm, etc.
Just, no matter how much Jim tries to "fix" everything. Some moments are out of order, some things come far earlier or later than they were meant to, but history is trying so desperately to course correct against everything Jim does.
Fast forward to the eternal night and Jim becomes the half-human-half-troll Trollhunter once again.
