Bular, for some reason telling Jim, "My mother's gone, too."

[i guess having a small sensitive (in all ways) human sibling can mellow a gumm-gumm heir out. just a little bit..]

Very understandably you can't look for something you never knew about in the first place. One of those moments happened yesterday and as such had a last minute shuffle from what was going to be posted today for something a bit different.

You may recall we've had Talkin' Toons on here previously, specifically Talkin’ Toons with Princess Bride - Rob Paulsen and Fred Tatasciore. Turns out there was a second one that has also been lost to youtube but facebook oddly enough still had it! Nobody deserves facebook though so Trollhunters Enters Doctor Strange's Dark Dimension (Talkin’ Toons with Rob Paulson and Clancy Brown) has been yoinked for your listening pleasure.

You can find a purely audio version via apple here which requires an account and may be region blocked for some listeners.

Enjoy!

STEVE FANS RISE UP

Thank you tumblr for absolutely destroying image quality. Freaking wtf?

Some more Dark Excalibur AU

The Knighting of Steve Palchuk

We all agree that Steve needed a better arc than what RotT gave him. He deserved a chance to be a hero, a path that he started in Wizards before it fizzled out into being the comedic relief. Wizards set everyone up as the better generational mirrors to Camelot. Jim to Arthur, Claire to Morgana, Douxie to Merlin, Toby probably to Galahad, and Steve very obviously to Lancelot. I've said at the start that no one comes out of this AU unscathed, so while Steve gets the heroic redemption, it comes at a cost, one that pulls on that parallel.

RotT in the Dk-E still happens, I'm not letting everyone get their happily ever after at the end of Wizards. But I'll be damned if I end it with Toby and so many others dead, and Jim pushed into a timeline reset. You can thank Steve for that. It's because of Steve that Toby lives. Steve goes with Toby in the Taco truck, and it is Steve that yanks Toby out of the way of the collapsing debris. But Steve becomes pinned himself, resulting in the loss of his arm. An act of selflessness and bravery, valor and sacrifice, that earns him the title of First Knight of the Roundtable of New Camelot. An equal advisor, responsible for not only the protection of Camelot, and those Jim has claimed as his (which is everyone, human, troll, changeling, down to the last gnome), but also finding and training new knights, those who value all life and are willing to fight to protect it, and want to see the worlds of man and magic together in harmony instead of hate and fear.

And so we come to the Knighting of Steve Palchuk. This isn't just pomp and meaningless ceremony, this has true weight and meaning to both Jim and Steve. Jim pulls on Excalibur's magic, his voice resonating with ethereal power, creating a bond of trust and loyalty that goes both ways, only formed if given willingly. Knight to his King, King to Knight, both to the protection of all worlds and their peoples. Jim's eyes light up in tandem with the blade as the power of Excalibur and Nimue courses through him, flames licking along the blade's edge and into Steve. Steve's armor reflecting this bond as the magic burns through him.

And like Lancelot, Steve will get a fully functional prosthetic arm. There will be hardship, adapting to this new reality. But Steve has become a hero. A man of courage... far from his highscool self. A survivor, who will fight with everything he has.

Rise now, Sir Steve, First Knight of the Roundtable and New Camelot.

Notes: some of the descriptive wording around the ceremony itself came from a discussion about Jim using Excalibur for the knighting, and are used with permission of Sakon76, who is a much better writer than I.

Expect more if Steve's story at a later time.

someone should've just snuck a gritshaka around jim's neck the second he started going "but without the amulet... am I still the trollhunter? 😔" in rise of the titans bc crispy jim would have locked the fuck in

[slytherintothedms]

the mischaracterisation of jim in rise of the titans is just about the worst thing they did with that film - and that’s saying a lot considering, well, everything is wrong with that film

Apparently I never posted this?????

[toa-archive]

We've not had much John Bell over here yet and seeing as we've been on an unintended 3Below week, well how about two more?

First up is GDT Arcane Books which is marked as version 1. Krel is being used for scale as he is in many of the 3Below artwork. The planter is also a drawer. Bonkers yet delightful.

The second of course has to be Zimroc Records! This is Version 1 again with Krel once again on scale duties. Down the side is looking very fancy and lacks windows upstairs compared to GDT.

Things of course can change in final builds but that doesn't mean can't enjoy them anyway.
