Alright everyone give it up for yet another Boxtrolls mini whump bit (you can blame @guys-in-distress-database for this, I’ve become a monster)

His father’s son

Tears still stung hot in Eggs’s eyes as the cage was lowered from the ceiling. He didn’t care what Snatcher was going to do with him, not anymore. His family was dead, crushed to death in that evil contraption. His father, that he’d only met that day, had lost his mind. He had no hope, and no help.

The door to the cage swung open, and he was grabbed by Mr. Pickles, violently yanked out. He cried out in pain as he was forced to his knees, his arms wrenched behind his back. Mr. Trout began to encase his hands in gloves that looked a lot like the costume from the fake boxtroll. From the festival earlier that day…

“Ow! That hurts,” he said, struggling against Mr. Pickles, although it was no use. “Are you happy now? My family is all gone now and it’s your fault!”

“Well… good triumphs over evil,” Mr. Pickles said, tying his crossed wrists tight. He sounded unenthused, though.

“But this is wrong! The boxtrolls haven’t hurt anyone!” he protested. “And you murdered them like they were nothing! Is this some kind of silly game? For you to win a silly prize?”

“I win what I rightfully deserve; I’m going to get a white hat!” Snatcher answered. “Now shut your mouth. Can’t have you ruining my plans.” He grabbed a long brown cloth and wrapped it multiple times over Eggs’s mouth, muffling his protests.

“Mmm! Mmmff!” Eggs looked up at his father. Herbert Trubshaw. A man who had lost his mind, and couldn’t help his son now. Eggs lowered his head, stifling a muffled sob.

Herbert giggled. “Jelly! I like jelly!”

“Nnnnff!” He struggled uselessly as the prop boxtroll head was placed over his own, disguising both him and the gag covering his mouth. “Nnnn!”

“What was that? I couldn’t quite hear you,” Snatcher said, laughing maliciously. “Try speaking up.”

“Mmmm!” Eggs struggled against the chains binding him, panicking as Mr. Pickles looped more chains across his chest, creating a harness that he would dangle from.

“So, what are we gonna do with him, Mr. Snatcher?” Mr. Trout asked, forcing fake boxtroll legs onto his legs.

“We’re putting on a performance for the good citizens of Cheesebridge!” Snatcher announced, grinning as he watched Eggs struggle and wriggle against his restraints. “To show that we have finally rid this town from those pests!”

He stopped struggling and glared up at his captor. Hot tears streamed down his face; his entire body shaking. If he weren’t bound he would… he would…

He couldn’t. Even if he were free, this man was three times his size. His shoulders slumped, his head hanging against his chest. Snatcher laughed.

“Alright, load him up boys!” he announced. “We gotta make a stop by Lord Portley-Rind’s house! He will want to see this!”

Mr. Pickles grabbed Eggs and yanked him to his feet, then shoved him into the cage on the back of the contraption that had decimated the boxtrolls’ home earlier. He curled into a ball as he was lifted into the air, and marched out of the factory and into town. He was a disappointment, to his family, and to himself. Much like Herbert Trubshaw, he supposed. His father’s son.

Cursed AU idea: The Boxtrolls BUT the other Red Hats is straight-up replaced with Gentlu, Narcistoru, Secretoru and Spiritoru from Delicious Party PreCure

The only rules are that they gets to keep their Bundoru Gang containers and no one questions the existence of a robot in a town populated by humans.

Highlights:

When Frou Frou gets on stage, Spiritoru talks her up with a dramatic introduction every time, and anyone who doesn’t CLAP FOR HER gets shot by Gentlu.

Narcistoru straight-up suggests that Snatcher gets rid of the White Hats.

The leeches are applied immediately when cheese fits start and Snatcher realizes that he can't have anything dairy, but he can have bread.

Only Narcistoru and Spiritoru have any bombastic fun on the hunts.

Snatcher explains the plan to become the lead White Hat by crushing the Boxtrolls after they build the Mecha-Drill. Secretoru sighs, then replies, “That’s...creative, so how about we use that as our base, run with...ABSOLUTELY NONE OF IT, and just POISON THEM WITH THIS?” “Hmm. That will save on to time and money.” “Yes, because that was my priority here.”

It’s actually mercury, there has to be some extraneous shenanigan to keep Lord Portley-Rind alive so he doesn’t end up dying before the end.

During the Kill the Boxtrolls song, Snatcher, Secretoru, Spiritoru and Narcistoru can’t keep from just looking at each other and SQUEALING WITH EXCITEMENT whenever the White Hats aren't paying attention as Gentlu kickflips her into lacing the White Hats cheese with mercury.

Eggs heads for the Boxtrolls cave by just running at top speed while Gentlu parkours through the city at top speed, bouncing off walls.

Secretoru organizes the other three to redecorate the entire factory in Snatcher's design, though she rips up some of the blueprints for being “overboard”.

They end up wearing a bit more red during the phase and acting like it wasn’t really easy to talk them into it.

When Gentlu finally admits she let Eggs get away, she just kind of breaks down crying and rolling on the floor, and Snatcher rolls his eyes and is just...I should kick her, but I really can’t bring myself to. Let’s move.

Narcistoru definitely can’t drive the carriage but that is not going to stop him from trying.

In the ball, Spiritoru tells him to stop and wait while he scouts ahead. It’s actually him who first ends up tripping into the moat and getting chased by leeches. The other four eventually go after him to figure out what’s taking so long and now there are leeches after ALL OF THEM.

The just kind of...head to the ball because they're hungry.

Gentlu looks some dancers over and goes “So...THAT’S Eggs in a tux”.

After which she pretends that she knew Eggs would be here all along because...there was evidence. It was obvious. Yes. Definitely.

Winnie knew they were actually evil from the moment Eggs DESCRIBED them to him because they have never been subtle. At least if it were the other three, Winnie would have room for doubt, but the more Eggs has talked about Snatcher, Gentlu, Narcistoru, Secretoru and Spiritoru, the more Winnie is like, “I’m pretty sure they tried to kill him...”

So she sets the tune of a ballroom song. Spiritoru and Gentlu then proceed to FISTFIGHT THE MUSIC PLAYERS INTO SUBMISSION!

But when Snatcher threatens to flatten the Boxtrolls, Spiritoru steps in; “No, sir! Allow ME!” Snatcher tries to protest, but Spiritoru doesn’t listen. He steps back, gears up, and the boxes flatten easily. “Either they're no longer there, or they have extremely weak bones.”

The Mecha-Drill is now a Cheese Grater Ubauzo.

“You think you can win and live happily ever after?! They'll never accept the likes of us!” Gentlu: “You know, sir, I’ve stopped trying to apply logic to anything that happens to us. It’s better for all of us if we just keep going and don’t question it.”

Snatcher throws Eggs to Gently and tells her to drop him into the furnace. A Shoulder Devil appears and tells her, “Kill him quickly! You want to make boss happy, don’t you?” There’s a puff of smoke and a SECOND SHOULDER DEVIL protests, “No! Draw it out! Torture him! Make him SUFFER!”

You know what? We’ve had a whole adventure by now. I don’t need to keep sparing Eggs. Gentlu doesn’t hesitate and the Boxtrolls, Eggs, Winnie and Portley-Rind are flung into the furnace and end up dead. 

EVIL HIGH-FIVE

Snatcher is mayor now and makes the other four white hats and taste bread.

A theme song guy closes the whole affair with a song about how Snatcher is the new Mayor and the Era of Bread is upon Cheesebridge.

EVIL DANCE PARTY

Maybe it's fitting something should be off about a movie featuring so much cheese... Read, share and enjoy :D

"My little angel! My weird little angel!"

—Lord Portley-Rind, The Boxtrolls (2014)

DO THEY KNOW VEGAN CHEESE HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 1600S

[feel-the-fire]

Lord take away his pain, quadruple it, and give it to Lord Portley-Rind. Amen.

[jcmorrigan]

His tag has been far too quiet and you know I cannot let that happen

Happy Mer-May! Inspired by @motherofallsharks and @scrapnick, this is my Boxtrolls OC, Pepper, as a mermaid. Instead of enchanting sailors to the depths and drowning them with her songs, Pepper would much rather sit on a rock, speak with them, and learn about Cheesebridge, a human town a few miles away from the shoreline. Too bad she's not allowed up to the surface, especially alone, at the tender age of 6. It all started one day while unwittingly swimming through the territory of the feared shark merman, Archibald Snatcher, a notorious hunter famous for his hunting expertise, insatiable greed, and his habit of tipping the yacht of Lord Portley-Rind, the Cheesebridgian Mayor (he loves getting a reaction out of him more than anything). As she realizes that she's lost (again!), he finds her and threatens to eat her little fishtail as punishment for trespassing. Begging him for mercy, he lets his greed get the better of him by proposing that if she stays, does what he says, and sings for him, he won't eat her little fish tail. Though the agreement was unexpected, he didn't mind (he knew how impressed the Mer-Kingdom would be at the sound of a supposedly beastly shark merman fathering a delicate little mermaid). She'll put up with his teasing her as she listens to his stories of him twisting his tail around unsuspecting animals and pulling them away to their deaths. Not to mention, his ability to distract sailors and their passengers long enough to trap nearby freshwater seacows. In return, he always encourages her to sing for him, as practice for when she's old enough to enchant humans with her voice. She will certainly be of more use then. It's hard to make both human and fishy friends when your Dad hunts them down regularly.

Box trolls or how to make a villain JK Rowling would approve of

Recently I rewatched Laikas stop-motion cartoon Boxtrolls-not my favorite per se,but it definitely has its own unique style.And just as when I started to get upset that this film was not popular, one character (or rather the way he was handled by film crew) changed my mind and I was glad that it did not reach public masses.

This guy.

Archibald Snatcher is the main antagonist who set out to destroy every troll to obtain the White Hat, despite knowing that these creatures are harmless.Using propaganda as a mean to turn locals against boxtrolls,he is ready to kill kids in order to get into cheese-loving club.So yeah,crazy man.What is interesting however,is how exactly he brainwashes Cheesebridge: and he does it by using his female persona Madame Frou Frou,who apparently charms the audience by made up stories about vicious trolls,all the while flirting with Lord Portley-Rind (who’s married and has a kid,yeesh) to be in his good graces and influence him into giving his White Hat.

The reason as to why the whole “Madame Frou Frou drag” is problematic is that in cartoon, the villain is the only character who uses drag or changes into feminine clothes,that way making him as “the other”and associating his negative traits with appearance.Also it was stated that Lord Portley-Rind was romantically interested in Frou Frou,the latter used that as an opportunity to spread the ideas about destruction of trolls.That way we are shown that the relationship with a person with non-traditional presentation is toxic,unhealthy and involves manipulation.And finally: it depicts a harmful narrative that a person with masculine physical traits in women's clothes necessarily dresses like this to achieve their goals by “deceiving” others.So for anyone who might get uncomfortable while watching this,I recommend to switch to the better stop-motion cartoon,like Wendell&Wild,which has really good trans rep.
