#strickler toa

[toastingpencils37]

So I watched Rise of the Titans a few days ago (now more like a week or two ago), and even though I enjoyed it, there were definitely issues with it.

One, the deaths: I'm not actually against most of the deaths, but I don't like how for some of them they aren't mentioned again.

For Strickler, keep his death, but mention it later on in the movie as well.

Toby, kill him off & keep his death the same, and make it the most important death in the movie (because holy shit that death hurt & I love it for that), but for shit's sake don't do the time reversal shit & make the whole franchise basically just a reference guide for the new timeline.

Nomura, just leave her out of the movie. I love her, but she was very random. Strickler & Barbara were too, but the difference is that they have ties to Jim unlike Nomura. & Nomura's death was just unnecessary. Or if they absolutely have to include & kill her, show her fighting with a ton of other characters from the franchise banding together & some of them, including Nomura, dying in the conflict

Nari, do the same thing as Strickler. Kill her off but don't just ignore it after the fact.

Two, Steve being pregnant: I'm not against the idea of Steve being pregnant. But the execution was horrible. The way they just made the whole thing a joke about how being pregnant is disgusting is just not it. Keep him pregnant, but please don't make it a joke.

And for fuck's sake don't make Aja tell him about Akiridion pregnancy at the last second after the seventh kiss.

Blinky: A weird thing about this movie was how cowardly they made Blinky. Sure, he's not the most courageous, but his cowardliness was very out of character. And yes, in Wizards, he was cowardly as well, but that was his past self, not present self.

Krel: Give him more focus. I know it's pretty hard to give all the characters focus in a movie only 1 hour & 46 minutes, but Krel really had potential that wasn't really used & just got sidelined.

The argument of evacuating Earth: Ok, this scene pissed me off. Because Aja was right. They should evacuate Earth. And the fact that a lot of people were against it was really irritating. Because they should have fought the Titans, but also evacuated Earth as a safety measure just in case they lost & the Titans reset the Earth.

I think that's about all I have to say about it.

I recently rewatched Trollhunters adjsfadf

[yuki2sksksk]

Been watching Trollhunters and I gotta say, Jim reminds me of Jack Darby from TFP. Mainly because of their (relatable) moms.

Also love Jim and Draal friendship development 🥹🥹 I am so glad I was rooting for Draal in the beginning because ya know, his anger was understandable (but him being a jerk wasn't an excuse tho)

There may be something there that wasn’t there before

FINALLY I have art of these two and Stricklake Month seemed like the perfect time to post! I know technically week one is myth, and this is more of a fairytale…but it originated from a myth so close enough! They just fit a Beauty and the Beast au so well 💚🩵

[kiramarien]

If I got a nickel every time a cartoon I love

based on a book

based on mythology

about a teenage boy

who stumbles upon an ancient artifact that gives him powers

that's being sought by this cocky guy with daddy issues

who's right arm is mechanical some of the time

and his Dad is this massive guy with big horns (and sometimes glowy blue eye(s))

who's being manipulated by a powerful woman

that he freed from her centuries old prison

who may have had noble ambitions in the past, but now has been consumed by power

and the woman possesses a young girl in order to get what she wants

and sacrifices the lives of her minions in order to unleash her ultimate weapon ->

(Dozens of Gum Gums) (Spider Queen, Huntsman, Syntax, Goliath, Not- Mayor) You know what I'm talking about :(

and she's got this indentured servant *cough Slave cough* (with pretty gold eyes 😘)

who she refers to as "Her Champion"

who travels using shadows (I could not find a single picture of Angor Rot using his shadow staff)

who was really sweet and kind in his past but then... well... stuff happened

and has lost his right eye

and he's been killed before

but the big bad restores him back to life so she can use him

and he gets a redemption arc at the end of season three

and the main character doesn't have a bio Dad, but he attracts plenty of father figures throughout the course of the show

and he gains a non-human form that makes him even more powerful

and him and the others gain an armor upgrade at the same time

and the girl of the team has short black hair with dyed stripes

and you know the guy with daddy issues who wanted to steal his artifact in the beginning? He becomes one of the protagonist's closest friends

and there's this gentle giant character

who becomes one of my most beloved characters of all time 💕💕💕

and he has a history of violence and trauma

and has now vowed to be a devote pacifist

but breaks his vow in order to protect the people he loves (with angry glowy eyes to boot)

and has a deep love for cats (yes, I did just do that)

...then I would have two nickels.

Which isn't very much, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

(That last drawing was made by @jezfez81. Thank you for letting me use it!)

What the heck happened?!?! This was just supposed to be a comparison between Sandy and AAARRRGGHH!!! Where did all these comparisons come from?!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?

(this took way too long to make, please give it some love :3 )

It's Jim's first birthday after becoming human again! It seems that everyone remembered why Jim was in charge of the kitchen.

JA! It only took me 6 months to finish this JAJJAJAJAJ, it was the bonus day of the jimtober challenge, better late than never.

And there were also too many quality drawings for you, it was time for something silly 😂

[raspberrywiskey]

wanted to draw more of them but my pen died ..

Some father-son relationship in an AU where Strickler adopts Jim when he was a baby and raises him along with Barbara💙💚

[ollie-alooffloof]

Ok ok, coming in very last minute after not being sure I'd participate this year. Only did so by being very irresponsible, BUT, I like drawing Strickler and Barbara, what can I say

I chose to do "Technology" this week and gave Barbara a tech suit so that the couple could fly together, high above Arcadia ~

Half done on Procreate, rendered on Clip Studio Paint

One of the moments of Draal's life in Jim's basement

[multifandom-nerds-blog]

I'm rewatching Trollhunters in the background right now, and the disfunctional mother son relationship between Jim and his mom is making me crazy.

Like, he's taking care of the household and his mother for years as a teenager and before probably. She is sometimes giving half hearted comments about him not having to do so much, but very obviously she's not gonna make him stop do all the cooking and cleaning. Y'know. Both because they've been living like this for years, and because it's obviously also very comfortable to have someone do all the house work.

Then Strickler comes into the picture, and if we ignore the whole Troll and changeling side of the story, Barabara gets very offended cause Jim doesn't want her to meet him privately. Again, ignoring the whole magic and trolls stuff, STRICKLER IS JIMS TEACHER. If Jim hadn't figured out that Strickler was a changeling he probably wouldn't have a problem with it, but the fact that he does, no matter the reason, should be enough for Barbara to put a stop to the relationship. Her child is clearly uncomfortable with her seeing/dating that guy, for whatever reason, and even clearly vocalized it. But she doesn't care about, or rather, she tells Jim that she "wouldn't expect something like that" from him. Obviously not, cause she may see him like her child/teenager he is, BUT DOESN'T TREAT HIM LIKE ONE.

And then Jim, unknowingly to Barbara, becomes the Trollhunter, and his behavior changes. He's suddenly doing reckless stuff, sneaking out, getting bruises, landing in detention and even at the police station, barely avoiding a police report. What does she do? Asking him what's going on? If everything's alright at school? If he has any other problems? Maybe trying to lower his workload around the house, which again, he's doing most of that as a teenager and longer probably.

Nah. She doesn't do anything until he lands in the hospital. Except for again, dismissing him rather negatively at the one topic he's openly expressing any negative opinions about (Strickler). And after he lands in the hospital she now starts not asking questions, but demanding answers. Demanding answers from a teenager in a difficult situation who is also now acting much more like a teenager than he ever did before, from her point of view at least. Except she obviously doesn't know how to deal with a teenager, cause she has never had to raise or live with a teenager. She instead lived with a child pretending to be an adult for years, that was partly much more of an adult than she was, who did way to much work even before Jim became the Trollhunter. So she throws punishments at him and grounds him, but does he listen?

No. Cause why should he? Not only is he dealing with things much more important than being grounded, yknow, saving the world, he's trying to protect her from the sheer knowledge of the supernatural and physically protecting her from getting harmed. And again, for the majority of the time since his dad left he pretended to be an adult. He was and is the main adult in the household, dealing with important things she doesn't even know about.

The only one's treating Jim like a teenager are teachers, other children and Blinky and Aaargh sort of when they're not in the middle of Troll business. Strickler, in the first episodes where Jim doesn't know about his true identity, is much more of a parental figure to Jim (also after his redemption later on tbh) than his mother.

In summary: Barbara is treating her son like an adult, almost like a partner, instead of a child/teenager. And when that isn't possible anymore she doesn't know how to properly treat him. She also doesn't really care that her son is uncomfortable with her being around Strickler, or Strickler in general. And it takes Blinky telling her (when Jim is 16) that Jim might be affected by his father leaving when he was five years old.

Jim meanwhile is treating his mother more like a child/teenager instead of the adult and MOTHER that she is. Seeing her as his responsibility. Cooking for her. Cleaning for her. Telling her to rest and take breaks.

They obviously love each other other. And their relationship might not be toxic, but it's very much disfunctional. In a way that is mostly negative for Jim.

Nighthawks... Of the changeling kind!

I made something new! A trollhunters version of Edward Hoppers famous painting 'nighthawks' - featuring our beloved disaster changeling troupe and also lots of creepy things lurking in the night...

Have a look!

[yuki2sksksk]

Strickler and Barbara crumbles + Angor Rot (I'd smash -- WHO SAID THAT)

Trollhunters artstyle is very shapy, Idk how to explain it.

(hrm hrm I am itching to draw Angor Rot x Witch! Reader little comics 👀👀)

[iloveyousmmm]

FINALLY SOME MORE TWEETSSS!!

[joethehoeee]

Stricklake Month week one: Myth/Technology

I finished it and man, I am exhausted. But here it is:

So it is just a short little animation kind of thing. It shows Barbara reading an old Book about Trolls and Changelings and finding a depicted of Walter...In a different way...

My link to the written Story for it.

It took me SO long to do all of that. Anyways, ig you wanna see a little more of creepy Troll Walt then let me know. I would enjoy writting my thoughts and process to his new form. Well anyways, closeup:

Yes I did wrote all of that on trollish...until I gave up. Translation:

Page 1: Stricklander + The winged devil

Page 3: Wings, claws, face, spikes, fangs, horns, eyes

Page 4: an evil and vile creature with claws bigger than swords and sharp tusk that rip through any skin with ease.

[taelende]

I kinda like him I think
