#Hilda elves

[stargazer-sappho]

With Abby wrapping up soon, I'm looking forward to getting my new Hilda spinoff mini-series comic into motion!

I've always had 2 major hyperfixations: pirate stuff and fairy stuff. I'm really excited to explore the fairycore side more 👀

Johanna is so fucking funny to me. “I moved out of tofoten because the magical creatures in there were a danger to Hilda” and then she moved to the middle of fucking NOWHERE. Girl be for real for a moment. How is this any worse than the Woodman

#(jk I know the fairies are really dangerous and we can’t compare woodman to them #or the giants or the elves or the wolves or the inherent risk of living alone with a child. #I guess. #but it’s still so funny to me. girl why the WILDERNESS) #(<- op is still in the second episode of season 3) #Hilda the series #Hilda season 3 #Hilda s3 #Hilda s3 spoilers #Hilda spoilers

And what if Alfur was ftm transgender then what would you do

#listen #I just think that I’m right #I think he very happily reminders on singing the paperwork to get his legal name and sex changed #I think it’s a very big thing for the elves #I think they pay trans elves lots of elf money bc in their eyes they have made a horrible mistake with the paperwork #I think alfur is very proud of being one of few elves to have paperwork about him changed #I think he’s mildly miffed at the elf who assigned him as female at birth bc how dare they #they were WRONG #I think if anyone came out as trans to him he’d give a scandalised gasp #bc oh my goodness how DARE the authorities mess this up for you I’m so sorry #well reciting this error in paperwork right away #I think gender for elves is just a piece of paper #‘hey what’s in your pants’ #‘paperwork’ #Hilda #hilda the series #netflix hilda #hilda netflix #alfur hilda #Hilda alfur #hc #trans #lgbt

Don't care if I have to homebrew, next character I'm playing is an elf from Hilda:

Just look at this dude and tell me you wouldn't want to play one of these guys?

DO YOU HAVE NO SOUL?! NO CHILDLIKE WONDER?! WHEN WAS YOUR JOY STOLEN AND WHAT IS THE PRICE TO RESTORE IT BECAUSE YOU NEED IT NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!

"Oh it wouldn't work with any characters I like to play because there all big strong barbarians or whatever"

LOOK AGAIN FOOLS

(Ok maybe there still not big but hold your anger in your shortness WHYDONTCHA?)

There is NO reason to not play onw of these guys and I will not be taking further questions.

I love fantasy when the story emphasizes the protagonist as weird despite everything in the world existing that's weird for the viewer

#personal #sure theres dragons and giants and elves but hilda goes out seeking them #u see so many witches in mty bc guideau is looking for angela #most characters in dunmeshi dont seek to go find the dungeon master and do black magic and take on a demon #the moment of 'oh this isnt normal in the world. its the main character's fault' #forgot trigun. beloved trigun and humanoid typhoon <3

Hilda s2 is kind of an uncanny valley sequel to Hilda s1. I kinda hate that the action feels more like Rick and morty in terms of pace and such. Even the animation, and voice acting seems off from what s1 gave us. Maybe r&m is an unfair comparison. But even the big stakes stuff in s1 felt deeply grounded in the world it provided us with. There were the small elves, and age old giants whose feeling of time was severely different than hildas, there were trolls who were strange and even volatile, but always connected to Hilda through the language of love and motherhood/childhood. There was a nightmare monster, and Hilda proudly offered her fear of riding the bike to shield her friend of his all encompassing anxieties. Hilda wanted to make friends, and found them in the sparrow scouts. She helped many people, and hurt them/others in the meantime. But all was contained in the magical and soft world the first episode provided us with. With the slightly tinny sounding voices, and magical framework of the worldbuilding.

And in general most of it didn't really change. It just shifted a little. And I hope I find the original charm in the coming episodes

Going buckwild at the way Hilda The Series portrays adulthood and loneliness. Kaisa has no one to go to to ask for help getting the due book back, even though all it would take was someone she could minimally ask to knock on an elderly lady’s door and ask for a favour; she’s in the library after hours, is shown to have no allies aside from the woman who raised her and who she lost contact with. Johanna is only ever seen working or caring for Hilda, and her lack of a life aside from those two activities is pointed out by her own daughter when she thinks that this is going so far as to affect their relationship. The bell keeper lives alone in a small cabin on the edge of town, barely within city limits and away from everyone, a house barely even inhabitable and clearly only a place to sleep and eat. He works a solitary job and he’s the only one in the town still working it, meaning he’s probably overworked and forced to pull inhumanly long shifts. Victoria hyperfocused so hard on her projects that whatever friends she had before - and she must have had some from college time at least - lost contact with her, and she never made any other connections in Trolberg, anything that would tie her to the city and it’s inhabitants and make it so it wasn’t worth it to live by herself at the top of a hill. Even when that was over, she still chose to isolate herself somewhere abandoned and keep what was essentially another machine she’d built as her source of company, something she could understand and control instead of an unpredictable human being. Gerda works a job she likes but is shown to be disregarded by the person she works the most around, her abilities and intellect thrown aside for the good of someone she has to bear because of a hierarchy she was forced to accept in order to keep working. She’s appreciated by the town, but other than the main characters, we don’t see anyone paying her any mind when they don’t need something from her.

Meanwhile no kid has ever been alone in Trolberg. The mean kids are a group, the good kids are a group, even the gloomy teenage girls are a group. One of nightmare inducing entities, but a group nonetheless. All children in that world seem to operate on a ‘no man left behind’ code, looking out for each other even if they aren’t exactly fans of one another, helping even grown ups without asking why and working together. And this logic seems to extend to the adults who work around children too; especially the Raven Leader, who we see that through the children works as a vital part of the community and a way through which it comes together.

This isn’t very articulate but do you see the point? Do you see how clever that is? That a show about growing up has these themes? You can be magical, kind, strong, intelligent, competent, but none of that will make you truly happy if you don’t keep the most important thing from childhood? If you don’t keep your friendships, your bonds, something to tie you down to your reality and your community? The adults in the show all made their choices, and it’s okay to want to be alone, we all need it and some more than others (this is coming from someone who needs it a lot), but isolating yourself completely is the one thing that will make growing pains truly painful. I’m just so emotional over it. It’s so subtle and so clever considering the whole Mountain King plot that Hilda is willing to change species because she feels detached from her main relationships and surroundings. I love this show so much.

#Hilda meta #Kaisa isolated herself because of insecurity. Johanna did it because of duty (keeping herself and a daughter afloat seemingly by her own) #the bell keeper did it (apparently) because of a lack of interest #AND being overworked. that’s so important to mention #actually scratch that. I bet being overworked is the MAIN reason. imagine keeping patrol day and night I wouldn’t talk to anyone either #Victoria did it because of passion #Gerda did it unwillingly as a result of the system she was working for #I could mention so many other people too #Tildy doing it because of hopelessness after the two people she loved failed to reach out to her #Abigail because she convinced herself she couldn’t go back home #the midnight giant because he made one sole person his whole world and his species had to leave #the trolls because of the consequences of colonialism sparking internal conflict #it’s lonely. lonely all around. #the only group of adults that seem to be doing fine are the elves #which are. you guessed it. a tightly knit community #and paperwork or no paperwork they all work for the well-being of their society as a whole #growing up doesn’t have to be lonely. growing up doesn’t have to be lonely. #but God it can be. and its something you have to fight against because it’s so easy to get caught in the tide #the more I grow the more things I find in Hilda to relate to #the show seems to age with us this is fantastic #Hilda the series #hilda netflix #johanna hilda #kaisa hilda #Victoria Van gale #the bell keeper hilda

Archivists on the Issues: Sophisticated Bureaucracies, Archives, and Fictional Depictions [part 2]

Continued from part 1

Archivists on the Issues is a forum for archivists to discuss the issues we are facing today. Today’s post is by Burkely Hermann (me), Metadata Librarian for National Security Archive and current I&A Blog Coordinator. There are spoilers for each of the books, animated series, films, and other media he will be discussing. It was originally published on the Issues and Advocacy blog on Jan. 3, 2023. Also posted on my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog on Feb. 13, 2022.

While bureaucracies are famously criticized in novels like Catch-22 and The Trial, they are a major part of other media, like the acclaimed animated series, Futurama. In the series, Hermes Conrad (voiced by Phil LaMarr), is a bureaucrat who works for the Central Bureaucracy, which manages legal, financial, and business matters in the city of New New York. In one episode, "Lethal Inspection", a physical file archive is shown, with Hermes taking a folder out of a file cabinet. It is later revealed that he was the inspector who approved a defective robot named Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio), after be burns the file.

Brad Houston, a Document Services Manager for the city of Milwaukee, said the physical file archive is really a records center because it has semi-active records. He described how the Milwaukee records center works, noting the importance of filling out transfer forms correctly, pointing out that records are organized by box with specific assigned numbers, and importance of records management training. As another archivist put it, information and records management is as much about understanding bureaucratic processes and human behavior as it is about the records and information.

While there are many other examples of fictional bureaucracies, [10] one specifically comes to mind: the Elven bureauacracy in the children's adventure and supernatural comedy-drama animated series, Hilda. An elf named Alfur (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is a series protagonist. Like the other elves in the series, they can only be seen if their tiny paperwork is signed and filled out. In the first episode, the protagonist, Hilda (voiced by Bella Ramsey), tries to come to peace with the elves, who see her as a menace because she stepped through their houses for years without realizing it. In the process, she goes through various Elven political officials who declare there is nothing that can be done and that the matter is out of their hands.

As the series continues, Alfur becomes a correspondent in the city of Trolberg, and files reports about his daily activities in the city, where Hilda is now living. Characters such as Frida (voiced by Ameerah Falzon-Ojo) and Deputy Gerda (voiced by Lucy Montgomery) are shown to care about paperwork as much as him, as does the witchy librarian named Kaisa (voiced by Kaisa Hammarlund). In other episodes, Alfur proudly tells a legendary Elf story about a fight over a real estate contract, he meets a society which doesn't use paperwork, and emphasizes the importance of reading the fine print. The series also features elf-mail, known as "email", which is sent from the countryside into the city with various couriers. Alfur later states that elves pride themselves on the accuracy of historical records and says he is impressed by how Hilda uses loopholes. In the next to last episode of the show's second season, Alfur convinces an elf sent as his replacement to write an eyewitness confirmation form, confirming that his reports from Trolberg, said to be "the most requested from the official archive", are accurate and true.

Hilda, emphasizes importance of accountability within hierarchies more than fictional bureaucracies shown in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Futurama. Alfur is graded on a performance management system and experiences some level of bureaucratic accountability. The latter is achieved, within institutions, through strategies, administrative rules, budget reviews, and performance management. It can also be accompanied by citizen accountability, which attempts to hold government administrators accountable through forums and laws, using communication technologies to directly access bureaucratic information, monitor government activities, and give feedback on delivery of public services. However, Futurama and Hilda make clear the value of records managers (and archivists) who have developed strategies and experience with relationship-building and negotiating bureaucratic politics.

Many archives, these days, are not "faceless" or "nameless" as those in fiction, nor do they encourage falsification of information to protect individuals. Instead, some likely came into existence during the Progressive Era to "lessen anxiety" about issues such as race. While some bureaucratic records, within archives, may be considered "cold", there have been efforts to humanize the files, especially those about human atrocities. Even so, some archivists remain impatient with "inanities" of bureaucracies they are part of. [11]

Bureaucracy remains part and parcel of archives. There have been efforts, in recent years, to reduce bureaucracies said to be "overlapping" and related claims that government by bureaucracy is dead or no longer necessary. Despite this, committing information to paper, then managing, or shuffling, that paper within a bureaucracy remains a "source of an essential power." After all, records have the power to legitimize bureaucracy, while promoting political hegemony and constructing social memory. In fact, in the 1985 film, Brazil, a controlling bureaucracy rules people's lives and crushes spirits. [12] The film's protagonist, Sam Lowry, has been described by some as an archivist who has "dreamlike moments" and sees himself as a winged superhero. He tries to tamper with data in order to save the woman he loves before his vision is shown to be an illusion.

While there won't be any "bureaucratic cock-ups" or Vogan Constructor Fleets demolishing Earth to make way for a hyperspace expressway, [13] sophisticated and complex bureaucracy will remain an integral part of archives, whether we like it or not.
