a while ago I watched way too many “styling this 2000s cartoon live action” videos and and made an attempt to do my take on an ACTUALLY STYLISH potential huntik one lmao. I tried to search for options outside of my comfort zone and opt for something else rather than my usual “late 2010s casualwear”

the first outfit was supposed to be more of a civilian form, and the second one something more practical to wear on a mission (they’re probably even less wearable in practice, but you get the idea):

🦎 for zhalia I went for something like idk indie sleaz meets techwear?? think 2000s diesel or guess kinda looks mixed with gear attire for this $exy gloomy lady working full time for a magical organization and barely having any civilian life at all effect

🎀 sophie was so much fun to work on. her original looks are so creative and diverse and I think I actually stayed truer to her canon self here than usual. it’s like full on maximalistic coquette with clashing patterns and out there silhouettes and it works somehow??

I’d love to do the rest of the team, too, but a) I’m not that good with masc styles b) tbh the original offers so little, too? I’ve started planning a moodboard for lok, but for dante I don’t even know where to start… if you have any ideas for them, I’m here for it!

I have acquired this!

Well this is now my new favourite book. It essentially tells the story of season one with some outtakes and adaptions. Unfortunately some of my favourite episodes and scenes have been redacted but to be fair they had a lot to cover

So far I’ve only read it through google translate (using the camera to read the pages which my brother thinks is witchcraft) so I don’t have an accurate read yet but at some point I’ll sit down and translate it properly so I can read the whole thing at once rather than in batches (curse the shaky hands)

Here’s some of may favourite features I’ve found in my rough reading, I’ll put it under read more because there’s some stuff that either doesn’t line up with the canon or I suppose is a spoiler for some headcanons

A) Otto (Addo) is alive! During the final party after defeating the Professor it’s revealed that Guggenheim managed to get him back from the organisation and he is also there at the party. Zhalia is very relieved to see him and they catch up

B) Zhalia got a leg injury in the final battle, hence leaning on Dante

C) Defoe. During Dante and Griers fight on Sutos, Dante brings up Defoe and is told “the organisation got rid of him” take that as you will

D) you know that conversation Dante and Zhalia are having in the background of Lok and Sophie’s chat after defeating Madea? They’re arguing because Zhalia wants to bond with Madea and Dante won’t let her. I just found that interesting because I thought Zhalia wouldn’t want the Titan that brought up all her past trauma

D.1) little side note, to speed things up, Zhalia defeats Madea all by herself

E) after finding out Dante was NOT mind controlled and her thoughtspectre had worked, Zhalia wanted to hug Dante but didn’t

F) Sophie has keys to Dante’s house (kind of obvious considering they’re there alone all the time but it’s a nice feature)

G) tersely and Montehue give Lok a rare book of Norse mythology as a gift after defeating the professor

H) Montehue hugs everyone during the party and hugs Lok so hard, Dante has to step in

I) Dante describes Zhalia as beautiful

J) I need to check my translation but I think Zhalia’s parents were killed

K) Zhalia: tell me you aren’t lying to save yourself

Dante: I have never lied to you and I never will

Zhalia: klaus is like a father to me, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it

Dante: I’ll take care of it

L) “a meal worthy of metagolem” is how I’ll be complimenting food from now on

M) rather than all of them touching the crystals to see if they’re pure of heart, just Lok does it and he gets an electric sensation go through his chest

N) to celebrate the whole Thor and mjolnjr thing, Guggenheim takes everyone out to dinner

O) lok was sleeping on Dante’s sofa without permission, he just kind of moved in and Dante gave up

P) Defoe was meant to take the sword of St George to Klaus, who would study it and take it to the professor

Q) oh that whole speech about going to Vienna where Dante changes his mind and takes the team? Nope he just says no and walks out and Leblanche spends the next few days baking treats to cheer them up

R) Loks cover story for his mum and sister was going to be: Sophie is a classmate on the same intensive archeology summer course as him and Dante and Zhalia are assistants to their elderly professor who is sick which is why they’re getting a holiday (the book then skips that episode and it’s unclear whether they didn’t go or whether it’s just not mentioned)

S) Lok asks why Sutos is not under the Greek government and the holotome tells them that it’s a regent based government which is inherited to the first born son

T: Zhalia: klaus taught me everything

Dante: except honesty

(Slightly paraphrased but it just cracks me up)

U) much like most fanfiction, Cherit is forgotten throughout most of it and occasionally gets mentioned

V) Lok: how did you do it?

Sophie: magic.

[susanvstorm]

unpopular opinion: zhalia should've been the first one to develop power-bond. no other member of the team is as tied to their first titan as she is. sophie and sabriel are a close second but gareon was zhalia's only friend for most of her life. she keeps him out of the amulet just to cuddle. evokes him when she's upset. talks and vents to him. it makes absolutely no sense that she was the last one.

[weirdlotiel]

Zhalia: I want to be a caterpillar.

Sophie: Explain.

Zhalia: Eat a lot. Sleep for a while. Wake up beautiful.

Sophie: You know they have a lifespan of like two weeks?

Zhalia: That’s another highlight.

Dante: zHALIA no-

Here's the last of my colorwheel challenge. Been procrastinating too long , but I actually finished it. So I'm happy.

-R.e.i.13

[iconuk01]

The Huntik Team - Model sheets

Dante Vale - Experienced Seeker, Team Leader. Automatically the coolest guy in any room and has the coat to prove it! :)

Sophie Casterwill - Heir to the Casterwill family, legendary Seekers for centuries. Academically brilliant, trained from birth in combat and combat spells. Primary Titan - Sabriel

Zhalia Moon - The teams "bad girl made good (mostly)". Raised by an archenemy of the Huntik Foundation, rejected them to become a Seeker in her own right. Guarded, ruthless, cynical, lonely.

Lok Lambert - New recruit, though the son of two respected agents, he knew nothing of Titans or the Huntik foundation until recently. Gifted at solving codes, puzzles and riddles.

[WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN]

Believe it or not, I have two this time that are both related to Huntik: Secrets & Seekers.

• Originally during both development and production of the show's first season, Zhalia Moon's backstory was to never be revealed and she was supposed to be a Huntik agent who for some reason left intentionally ambiguous turned to the other side as an Organization operative.

• Originally with the show's second season, both Sophie and Zhalia would've still had a rivalry with each other since the latter was an Organization spy that had still betrayed them.

Sophie: Dante, are you with us?

Dante: Physically, yes. Mentally? I’m in a renaissance painting wearing a silk gown and looking wistfully into the distance.

Here’s one I wrote ages back and then got bored 20 mins in, finally popped back into my brain last night so I finished it. Putting the text below because my hand writing is terrible but I couldn’t be bothered to fight the text feature

Broke: unreliable narrator

Woke: unreliable narrator because he’s clueless

———

Metz: do you have a plan Dante?

Dante: Zhalia

Montehue: I had to break it to you Dante, but that’s not a plan

Guggenheim: it’s been too secret Montehue but you should know, Zhalia’s been deep undercover infiltrating the blood spirals!

Montehue: …

Montehue: I just thought you broke up

Lok: you guys are dating?!

Sophie: *realising she’s about to go to war with an idiot*

Not sure who would be interested in this, but today I was talking to my RA (Residence Assistant) about Huntik and how much I loved it, and then she asked me where to watch it. I pulled it up on her YouTube, and she subscribed to the channel, so here’s hoping she watches it and enjoys it 👀 I’m bringing Huntik to Japan 😆
