Archie from Wizards: Tales of Arcadia! I like to imagine him to be an oriental shorthair due to their dragon like appearance. Chest and Stomach are a bit stiff, but I'll keep that in mind next time! I was having a time(tm) in procreate dreams (nigtmares). I have opinions and I don't like it in its current state at all haha.

My favorite character of all time and his silly shapeshifting dragon/cat familiar ‼️‼️‼️
Fr though Douxie and Archie have been my favorite characters for like two years along with the show they come from 💀
Pose base by @mellon-soup ‼️‼️
(I saw it and immediately thought of these two)

Why Aliens feels off in Tales of Arcadia
Tumblr media
Don't get me wrong, I really like Aja, Krel and Varvatos. I even think that 3Below was quite good, even if i'm not a sci-fi fan at all (i even managed to fall asleep in front of every Star Wars ever, and not with any other movie). But good doesn't mean good in terms of storytelling. Because after all 3Below is set in the Tales of Arcadia franchise, and let's just say they don't 100% fit in it.
So why is that ?
Tumblr media
1. Trollhunters is based on a book, and the book doesn't contain any aliens.
Well from what I have researched the book doesn't contain any trace of wizards too. I will also add that I haven't read the original book, I just made some researches about its content on the internet.
For those who don't know, Trollhunters : Tales of Arcadia is a loose adaptation of a book written by Guillermo Del Toro and Daniel Kraus, called Trollhunters. It's an adaptation similar to How to Train Your Dragon : The characters are present, the surnatural/fantasy aspect of the book is also present but everything else is changed. I even saw that Steve dies in the book, so glad they didn't take that route.
And i'm not part of the people who screams and cry everytime there is any changes from a book to a movie, To be deeply honest with you all I studied Cinema and English litterature in highschool and my final projet for those two subjects was to talk about how some changes in book adaptations are a good idea.
But it just shows that writer did not have any basic material for it. They had to create it all from scraps, and I feel like the first season of Trollhunters was already out when they thought of aliens, so they decided to connect it howerver they could. Which leads us to our second point.
2. Aliens don't really have any deep connections with humans, trolls or wizards.
Wizards and trolls fought against Gumm gumms, wizards have created many magical relics that Trolls uses, and as we saw with Hisirdoux wizards have an habit of dealing with trolls species. The interactions are already present, they have a deep history between them, shares problems and common knowledge.
Aliens apparently shook hands long time ago on Earth and were gone for the rest of the time, so except an old memory forgotten by almost everyone, they don't really have a pre existing history tying them to the different races in the story.
Trolls and wizards are based on things we already know off. I mean we have countless myths and legends about them already, but there is a bit more to that.
Horseshoe are items to uncover if someone is a changeling, trolls love to eat socks, which ties into the forever myth of "why am I always missing a sock", you think that racoons made your trashcan fall but it could have been gobelins, is that a black cat or just a small dragon etc. You really have the aspect that you interact with the "underworld" on a day to day basis without being actually aware of, and that goes deeper than just "oh this random person is just a troll in disguise".
Aliens don't really have that, like no one except the army used alien technology before 3Below, and still it was in secret so we can't really copy that to our everyday life as easily as the previous examples that I made.
Earth is about Trolls, humans, demi-gods and wizards. And it also happened to have aliens once in a while, but nothing much about it. And that leads us to our last point.
3. The plot has no space for Aliens.
Since the whole story is about earth and the fate of earth, we don't really have space for Aliens in the plot (no puns intended). We can literally see that with the 3Below plot : gumm gumms are something completly unrelated to the plot, it just happens in the back while the main plot is happening. 3Below is more of a spin-off or a "What If?" kind of show than a continuation of the main plot.
3Below is an interlude, an easter egg for the fans. You barely see the main cast, the main cast barely acknowledge the presence of the trio in their own show.
See I wouldn't be criticizing it if it was considered as such in the franchise. A side-story that doesn't impact the plot, but for fan service it will appear in the final movie so that everyone has their conclusion.
But it's not the case, it is seen as an important part of the story by the studio. It has never been advertised as something else than an active part of Tales of Arcadia.
If they truly wanted something about aliens, it should have been as a side story, a spin off.
But as a major part of the franchise, it doesn't deserve its spot and you can feel it.

✨Round 4: Match 8✨
Tumblr media
(Maglor art by @elena-kukanova)
Maglor Propaganda:
He canonically has incredible and magical singing, he's very broody, he searches for sparkly gems, and he lowkey becomes an adopted dad
doomed singer and harper, loves gems, had a silmaril (ultimate shiny gem) but it hated him because he killed people for it, wrote the Noldolantë (lamenting song about the fall of his people) and now wanders the shores singing in pain and regret. the sun sparkles off his tears :)
My guys named after his voice. Committed murder, wrote mega hit about said murder, proceeded to commit Many more murders and added that to said song. Is said to be wandering the shores singing of his sorrows for eternity.
He is a bard because canon, and he is sparkly because he is drenched in seawater and it’s sunny out
he was known as the greatest bard of the Ñoldor, he killed a bunch of people and then wrote an absolute banger of a song about how sad it made him (he killed more people later though) he would be more sparkly if he had kept the Silmaril but it burned him (because he killed so many people) so he threw it into the sea and then wandered the beach forever singing about how sad he was and how he regretted murdering so many people over shiny rocks
Commits war crimes but feels bad after so he writes a sad song about it
He’s the mightiest singer of the Noldor (his group of elves)!!
He is remembered as one of the greatest musicians to ever live in Middle Earth and most of his story centers around sparkly rocks
Hisirdoux "Douxie" Casperan Propaganda:
AAAAAHHH HOW COULD I FORGET DOUXIE?!?! I guess I'm so used to thinking of him as a wizard, but he can dual class. He absolutely shreds on his magic guitar and it's epic
PLEASE VOTE DOUXIE HES A MASTER WIZARD A N D BARD
He's hundreds of years old but looks 19, was Merlin's apprentice back in the day, in modern times works as a waiter in a cafe and also in a book store. He plays in a normal non-magical band! His best friend is a talking cat who wears glasses who is actually a dragon! He absolutely *shreds* on guitar but he's not bad on a lute either!

Dichotomy
Reason 3678378437824567512 to hate Rise of the Titans: We never got to see a fully trained Steve and Eli fight side by side.
The movie was overall lacking in Creepslayez content. But, I don't think we fully grasp what we were robbed of.
In Wizards, Steve Palchuk was trained in the ways of knighthood by Sir Lancelot. Steve learned to fight well enough that he could take on Gumm-Gumms. He even gained a mystical weapon, for I highly doubt that the Lady of the Lake's tooth does not have magical properties. Steve is the encapsulation of the series' fantasy elements.
For about a year, Eli Pepperjack was on Akiridion-5. Given that he shared a planet with and was close to Aja Tarron and Varvatos Vex, it is safe to assume he would have received some Akiridion soldier training from the best of the best, willingly or not. He would also definitely ask for his own serrator. He was well respected on the planet. His designs for a gigantic robot were used. When he came back to earth he was even wearing Akiridion clothes. Eli is the encapsulation of the series' sci-fi elements.
If they, as the Creepslayerz, fought side by side during the events of the movie, it would have been a beautiful representation depicting the meshing of the series' rather juxtaposed sci-fi and fantasy elements.
We were robbed.
