#trollhunters: tales of Arcadia

[the-gateway-to-madness]

Good morrow.

Today I am here to discuss one of my all-time favorite shots in Tales of Arcadia. It's incredibly brief, and the part that makes it my favorite isn't even really the focus of the shot. It's this:

This shot appears in both halves of the Trollhunters/3Below crossover, and that's because of how telling it is. Up to this point in Trollhunters, Aja and Krel seem just completely oblivious and doofy.

And then we get this look from Krel, and the doofiness doesn't add up anymore. This tiny little shot is key to exposing how intelligent and aware Krel actually is in this moment. It's hardened, focused, shrewd- this look is more Krel than most of what we see in the Trollhunters half of the crossover (In Good Hands). You can build an entire sense of what Krel is truly like under his oddity just from this one little shot of his expression and body language narrowing in on the screen. You can see his royal regality for a moment in the way his shoulders set; you can see in his eyes just how much he's absorbing and comprehending inside.

And wow is that just some truly incredible work from the animators.

I feel like Arcadia Oaks from Tales of Arcadia and Amity Park from Danny Phantom, if they existed in the same universe, would both be weird, but like, in opposite ends of the spectrum.

Like, Arcadia sits on top of a primordial hearthstone, the last one and also the biggest. Magic radiates throughout the town. Everyone who lives there is a little more in tune with nature. Everything and everyone is just a little too perfect. Everyone’s a little to pretty. They live a little too long. Their eyes sparkle with something more. Their streets are too clean and outsiders feel like they’re walking into a dream when they visit. It’s almost eerily enchanting.

Amity Park is on the opposite spectrum. Everything there is off. When comparing the two towns, people will notice a lot of similarities but they can’t quite put there finger on what makes Amity so off-putting. Everyone lives a little too long. Their eyes sparkle with something more. All of these qualities are shared between the two towns, but one is enchanting and the other is terrifying.

Either way, very few outsiders can stand to stay more than a few days.

#the answer is something that no one is able to put into words except the people that live there and have visited the other #one is teeming with life and the other is filled with death #trollhunters #trollhunters: tales of Arcadia #danny phantom #dp #toa wizards #toa #tales of arcadia #3 below #toa x dp #toa trollhunters #toa 3below #3below #magic #wizards #ghosts #the idea that both towns are wrong but in fundementally different ways #they still affect the people just as much #people’s eyes glow in both towns but in Arcadia it’s like oh magic! and in Amity it’s like oh death! #they both live long because magic = immortal and ectoplasm = kinda already dead #from a vague description of both towns they sound pretty similar #less crime (because no one wants to run into Trolls or ghosts at night) #someone please enjoy this as much as I do

Ok, but can i talk about Blinky and Jim for a moment? Because i want to talk about Blinky and Jim for a moment. Blinky goes from cordielly professional showing Jim respect mainly because he’s the Trollhunter, taking on the role of Trainer and Mentor, belting Jim rather gleefully with rocks. His motivations seem more in line with recovering from the stigma of having trained Unkar. Then they slowly start becoming friends. Then Blinky finds out Jim’s dad abandoned his family and ran off to Vermont on Jim’s fifth Birthday after giving his son a bicycle kit. And what does Blinky do with this information? Gathers up the parts to a classic vespa (Something Jim hasn’t told the troll outright that he wants. Blinky figures this out by observing) and suggests they build it together. The very thing Jim’s dad had supposed to have done with him all those years ago!

Troll man really saw a vacancy in the parenthood department and moved right in. Blinky is the instigator of this found family! He really went ‘My son now!’ and i love him for it!

douxie's age is so freaking inconsistent. they introduce him in trollhunters as the student of a rival school, like Arcadia Oaks Academy or something. so, i guess we're supposed to assume he's 15-17.

but then wizards rolls around and he's supposed to be like 18-19 mentally? ignoring the fact that douxie acts around the same age as the rest of them, this contradicts the first thing.

which is it?

Hey Trollhunters fandom

Rise of the Titans isn’t canon, right?

Cause… I’m literally laying awake at night thinking about how bad that movie was

Am I the only one who didn’t hate “Rise of the Titans” ending?

A part of me feels like there was a solution without implying that all the Tales of Arcadia was undone. Maybe Jim in a new timeline splintered off from the original since he remembers what transpired.

Really, I like that it rewards Jim after all the crap that was foisted upon him. Yeah, the Amulet choose him but he had a lot to deal with as a teenage son of a single mom as it was so he didn’t need all this fantasy getting in the way. Tobias, on the other hand, was all in on it so him getting the Amulet fit for him.

It feel like it was suppose to go onto a new storyline rather than ending the current one. It’s weird yet... I just cannot hate it.

After Wizards, knowing who Deya was makes me think about the implications of everyone who came after her. If, in the series, she was the first Trollhunter, then that means she was the one to set a precedent. Everyone after her was following her lead, which is kinda worrying because no one really liked Callista.

You might think that because she’s Deya the Deliverer and how she went down in history that she was well liked, but…

Jim literally killed Bular and almost all of Trollmarket was willing to turn on him at the drop of a hat. If we take that behavior and take it into account, there’s a large chance that she was pretty isolated even when they put her on a pedestal.

Why does this matter? What if her distance made every future Trollhunter believe that they had to work alone?

And what if she was killed by Angie Rot, so she couldn’t even go to the void to tell the other Trollhunters that she didn’t mean for it to be that way?

Do you ever watch a show or a movie or any piece of media meant for kids and just think about how the story or character or that one scene or whatever just spoke to your heart and soul, or just how profound it made you happy or break your heart. And just sit their thinking that this is for literal children, who probably still couldn't 100% understand the gravity of what they are consuming or probably couldn't articulate how they felt about it other than say they liked it or they dont, or it made them happy or sad, and you, a grown ass person is just thinking about how this thing meant for kids is just so simple yet complex with so many layers of emotions and plot and etc. That explores themes and subject better than media meant for your age, in a way that is simple yet incredible done.

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 )
