God. You know what gets me? We always thought Johanna was the normal one, the one that was city versus wilderness, normal versus Hilda's chaos.

But Johanna is the one who's half fairy, and she, instead of Hilda, chaos incarnate, wilderness lover, is being drawn to stay on the island. Hilda, on the other hand, wants to go home, to Earth, to Trolberg, to her friends, to her and Johanna's adopted family.

It's so ironic that Hilda is actually the one who is more human than Johanna-- literally. She's only one-fourth fairy, and she's got magic from Earth-bound creatures like the trolls (re: being turned into a troll for a time and now being able to understand what they're saying).

It's such an interesting reversal: Hilda was originally the one who didn't want to leave the wilderness when Johanna wanted to, and now, now that that seems like the only thing left, to live in unfiltered magical wilderness, Hilda just wants to return to Trolberg.

God. This show is incredible.

so insane about the Fairy Queen (or whatever the hell it is).

It takes no "disrespect" or "talking back". It wants you to stay. It will literally die without you. It is explicitly described as an elder. We are sticking to tradition because "this is just the way it is."

The Fairy Island is a place of pure nostalgia. Everyone who goes there stays young. You can live in the bliss and pretend everything's alright but the rules are set in stone and you cannot change or bend them.

Childhood is wonderful in comparison to adulthood, sure. But there's a reason being "treated like a child" feels like a dismissal of dignity. You could play and pretend you could fly and have zero responsibilities but there would always be an older figure holding you back, holding you down. You were never really free.

And leaving is hard, and painful, and you'll be leaving family members who love you behind. But you need to leave. Escape, even as the island tries to stop you. The human world will seem boring at times, but that island is a prison. You were never really free.

Hilda said a lot of things this season, about families and the different ways we love and hurt each other. But I was not expecting that the last reveal of the show would be that Johanna is not just the best mother in fiction, but that she also broke the cycle. By letting her daughter be free, by giving her daughter the same respect she'd give an adult. By treating her like a person. Like a human being, not a fairy. In the fairy realm, in nostalgia, and childhood, you were never really free.

ohhhh hilda is absolutely about places being part of identity. the fairy island showing hilda her old house in the wilderness because that’s where she’s from. johanna being drawn to the lake even after getting her memories erased. ending up in the fairy mound as a kid. hilda, johanna, and twig all being called back to fairy country at different points of their lives. always returning to the place they’re from like water returning to a valley. the “i remember the way the horizon looked” of it all,,, excuse me while i go cry :’)

[waddles-ex-machina]

the thing I love abt the reveal that Hilda is part fae is that functionally it changes nothing for her except for the fact that she is absolutely THRILLED about it. she couldn't wait to tell her friends about it. she has drawings of herself with fairy wings. so i imagine going forward everything is the same except that anytime she’s trying to bond with whatever weird creature she’s found Hilda “actually I’m sort of a witch” Folk does it like this

#hilda the series #hilda season 3 #hilda spoilers #hilda s3 spoilers #Hilda netflix #i mean. she was already a cryptid but now she has official status

[bowsers-keep]

So watched Hilda S3 and GODDAMNIT THIS SHOW IS TOO DAMN GOOD!!!! Honestly love the fact that Hilda is just a fae, David you are officially the Token Normal Person of this friend group.

Louise was great love her, honestly she brings a really good energy to the dynamic in her one episode.

Speaking about the episode Louise joined the group, DAMN THAT MUSICAL NUMBER WAS GOOD!!! I want to listen to that on loop.

Pooka is also icon, they're peak scruckly scrimblo material.

Ending was ofc very bittersweet but MMMMMMM. That's the good stuff. Overral 10/10, highly recommend. This is me officially asking for more people to go watch the show.

some scribbley pre-board concepts of the most heart pounding episode , and some revised design's of our beasties mouth and eyes. Its hard to make something look scary and not goofy - and eventually I had to stop drawing the OWO face. (although if you look at hildas sketches at the very end of the season there is still a OWO spider frog existing) . p.s , if you wanna shower love on our board artist https://www.instagram.com/itabiaa/?hl=en , PLEASE DO. She boarded this episode and was an assistant to our board supervisor throughout the season. You can thank her for johannas beautiful hair flip - she knows how to respect our queen. The amount of work that was put into the design and all the rigs so the animators could work their magic was *immense* , but I'm so proud of them.

I based the throat off of the loggerhead turtle ...cuz its got the spikes so the fish cant swim back up. It gave an extra horrifying detail for when it opens its mouth.

An aspect of Hilda the series that I feel isn’t talked about enough is the colonizer’s guilt and how it affects the main character.

What made me write this was watching the third episode of the new season, but honestly, it’s something we see throughout the whole series. Starting out with the elves in the northern counties, and moving on to trolls and now giants. Every season that came out gave us a chance to see Hilda deal with the feelings that arise from living in a society she knows is built on the occupation of another people’s native land and the oppression of those inhabitants.

She knows it’s not her fault, she knows she’s not the colonizer, but she’s well aware that she’s in the privileged side of her society. Seeing her grapple with the fact that her very existence in these spaces is only possible because someone else is getting the short end of the stick, to me at least, makes her that much more interesting of a character.

Because it’s not a matter of fixing what she’s done, but the privilege is still there and not even well hidden when she sees the day to day life of the people whose land has been occupied by humans/trolbergians. So whenever we see her rush to aid them, her borderline desperation to fix what’s been broken, it’s even more captivating because it’s not just the usual “I love helping people and having adventures” gist, there’s always this undertone of guilt for something she hasn’t personally done but still knows has to be held accountable for.

Hilda knows the type of oppression that people like her get away with. And she wants no part in it.

#OP HAS ONLY WATCHED UP UNTIL EPISODE THREE YET!!!!!!!!!! #DONT TELL ME IF SHE TURNS OUT TO BE SOME SORT OF ALSO COLONIZED CODED MAGICAL CREATURE!!!! #but even if it’s the case. she still *grows up* thinking she’s in the ‘part of the problem’ side of things #and very much gets treated like so. so. you know. privilege either way #as a white Brazilian person this makes the character that much more relatable to me #there’s always this sense of guilt even if you know you’re trying your best to not be part of the problem #we’re already part of the problem. living where I live is only possible because of many years of violence against another culture #and we need to learn to live with it and fix what’s salvageable #and that’s what’s so juicy about Hilda. because she GETS the chance to fix it #and she DOES. and watching her cope with *why* those people need to be saved in the first place #is what makes her so interesting to watch to me #Hilda spoilers #Hilda s3 #Hilda s3 spoilers #Hilda season 3 #Hilda the series #Hilda netflix #Hilda (Hilda)
