[teacuptomes]

when your boyfriend goes back in time to fix things, but instead of the world wisping away at his leave, it stays. someone needs to be the trollhunter - and the team has already put together a new amulet once. what's a second amulet? and now its just the burden you've put upon yourself - sisyphus pushing the bolder up that steep hill.

What a Waste of a Potentially Good Relationship

We could've had it

I mean, am I the only one seeing this?!?!?!

(I could've posted a better picture showing their parallels in expression, but I'm too lazy to go through almost every episode)

maria iliushkina's lilac fairy............... 💜😍😭😍😭😍😭😍😭😍💜 who are your favourite lilac fairies?

Marianela Nunez, Claire Calvert, Maria Iliushkina, Oksana Skorik, Stella Abrera 

[bigskydreaming]

Shit. I need to start writing all of these down in one place. Y’know, since it’ll literally never be relevant but since when has that mattered to me.

Kalen’s Ideal X-Film Casting (no it does not matter that this is too many characters to fit in a single film USE YOUR IMAGINATION gdi)

and in no particular order other than Iceman first because that one is very important to me look it just is:

Iceman - Manny Jacinto

The Frost Siblings, Adrienne, Emma, Christian and Cordelia - Ming Na Wen, Lucy Liu, Godfrey Gao and Elodie Yung (who here is their half sibling, with a Cambodian mother and the same father as the others)

Dazzler - Janelle Monae

Richter (I know its actually Rictor, but that’s been bugging me for decades, I say we ignore canon and go with the idea his codename makes more sense as his last name and his last name’s spelling makes more sense for his code name) - Michael Trevino

Cyclops - Chris Pine

Jean Grey - Nicole Beharie, because I have to fancast her somewhere in every fancast I do as Justice for Sleepy Hollow, its the Law, but also I just really think she has that “I am the caring headmistress that all students should feel comfortable coming to with their problems, but also sometimes I devour suns and destroy solar systems, nbd” energy. Also also, casting her as Jean ALSO means potentially casting her as Maddy Pryor and Nicole!Jean vs Nicole!Maddy? COULD YOU IMAGINE?

Also, I am a shallow, greedy bisexual, and the second I pictured Chris Pine and Nicole Beharie together my brain exploded and I am typing the rest of this from The Other Side, Adele says to say hello.

Havok - Dead and irrelevant

Cece Reyes - Rosario Dawson (there definitely need to be a wider pool of Afro-latinx actors drawn from for fancastings, but she’s freaking perfect for Cece and this is the role that Claire Temple should have been anyway IMO)

Gambit - Gaspard Ulliel

Rogue - Angelica Ross (credit to @gingerjab for this one, I’m STUCK on it now and its all his fault, ugh he’s so problematic)

Monet (and she needs her full name dropped at least once, obvsly:  Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St. Croix) - Anna Diop

Destiny - Jane Fonda

Cannonball - Ryan Kwanten

Quicksilver - Jesus Castro

Neal Shaara - Karan Tacker

Dani Moonstar - Julia Jones

Banshee - Ewan McGregor (I’m aware he’s Scottish and casting him as an Irish character is a crime but I’m Irish and thus I’m allowed to say its okay I’m pretty sure it says that in the Bible so shh)

Tom Cassidy - David Giuntoli

Ink Leon Nunez aka the actual mutant responsible for Ink The Fraud’s powers in canon, and who deserves the focus canon has actually given that loser skinhead in his place, Redemption For Leon Nunez - Diego Tinoco (also I just really like him in OMB and wanted to cast him as someone and I couldn’t decide between Velocidad or Hellion and then I thought of this guy instead)

Colossus - Danila Kozlovsky 

Magik - I gotta come back to her because I actually have like, three different ones depending on which age ‘Yana you go with but I can only find two of them and I can’t do an Incomplete, wtf

Longshot - Daniel Henney 

Blink - Dominique Tipper because it just works but also she’s of Dominican descent and Clarice Ferguson was originally black and from the Caribbean, with all due respect to Fan Bingbing and Jamie Chung who likely had no idea given most comic book fans don’t even know.

Captain Britain - Trevor Donovan. Look, he’s big, buff and goofy and really what more do you need when casting Brian Braddock? Those are the three essentials, don’t overthink him. Also, Trevor Donovan attempting a British accent through several movies sounds HILARIOUS to me and worth the price of admission alone, and after so many British actors attempting American accents with varying degrees of success in superhero films, turnabout is fair play.

Northstar - Zachary Quinto cuz he’s gay and his years playing Spock can be deemed prep work for playing Jean-Paul’s arrogance

There’s like thirty more because that’s how many X-Men there are and that’s not even getting to the students, but I gotta stop now because Adult Responsibilities and also I can’t find the one I came up with for Lila Cheney and its BUGGING ME cuz it was perfect and I have to find it before I can keep going.

Trollhunters: Nemesis (Evil Merlin)

A bit of an AU, running with the idea of evil Merlin. (Warning, Rather a lot of character death). 

When Mike came to his mentor’s house he was shocked for a moment. It was empty, a few books lying around, but everything else, gone. Even the circles that Merlin had insisted must always be kept up were gone, the protective sigils on the walls looking like they had burned, charred into unrecognizable shapes.

“What…Merlin?” Mike called, a little out of breath. He’d been out of breath a lot since he’d been learning magic.

“He’s gone.”

Mike jumped in shock. Behind him there was a girl, wearing old fashioned clothing. She looked… About his age.

But there had been nobody in that part of the room, he was certain. “Who are you?”

“Claire. Just Claire.” She stood up, and Mike lifted his hand, his integrated scanner activating.

Then he blinked. “You don’t have a bodychip? But that’s ill—”

“They were long after my time,” she said softly. “Hold still.” Her hand lanced out and grabbed his hand, and it was cold, cold…

“What—”

Then there was an odd snapping feeling,and suddenly Mike’s chest felt a little better. “What did you do?”

“I freed you from Merlin. How do you think an ‘immortal’ fuels his life, especially since Morganna no longer is an issue.”

“What, but Merlin’s a—”

“Hero? A wizard manipulating the world to make it better?” Claire smiled at him. There was something odd about that smile. Something cold and frightening. “Than why does he leave nothing but destroyed lives in his wake. Who are you, by the way?”

“Mike Wilkes! I’m Merlin’s apprentice.”

“Well, Mike Wilkes, you are his sacrifice, or were. That cold you have would never have gotten better.” She fell silent. “But you wouldn’t have noticed and had you noticed—well, crusades always have victims.”

“Who are you?!” Mike repeated.

“Did he tell you of the Eternal night and the Trollhunter, of the battle with Morganna?”

“What were those? I mean, he said he fought Morganna and saved the world, but… none of that other stuff.”

Claire stared at Mike. Then she shook her head. “Why am I unsurprised? Merlin never would share the light with any others. No, Mike the Apprentice, there were others. Myself, my love, my closest friend and we, along with the trolls fought Morganna and Gunmar and victory was achieved at a terrible cost. Merlin had us leave for a new heartstone…”

“Heartstone?”

“A source of healing and magic for Trolls—and a way to keep their minds sharp rather than reverting to their animal ways. There are no more. But Merlin knew that. He sent us to New Jersey, where he’d heard tell of a new stone.” She fell silent, and once again, Mike was struck by how strange she looked. Then the girl started talking again. “I should have been worried. But I was happy, happy that my love, even if Merlin had warped his body, would have a home, so I didn’t ask how someone who had been asleep for hundreds of years would even know what New Jersey was, let alone why it held a heartstone. Maybe I was too busy being creeped out by how he looked at me. If I had known what he’d done to Morganna, why she had been so brok—well, that’s over.”

“What happened?”

“There was no heartstone in New Jersey. The trolls had been as much his tools as anything else, and he no longer needed them—but didn’t want to risk being known for who he truly was. A week after we left, some of the trolls started getting irrational, animalistic. J-my lover, controlled them. Others became sick, delirious, claiming that something cold was sucking their lives away. We stopped in a cave, a safe place so that Blinky would be able to research the issue—and then Merlin vanished.

“And a few days later, we learned why. The last Heartstone had been destroyed, but it had always been doomed, from the moment he imprisoned Morganna in it. And with that, the trolls, all of them were doomed, doomed to become animals, to die, to lose their minds. We spent a month in that place, hearing how Arr—how some of our friends had chosen to expose themselves to the sun rather than be a danger. How others had been killed when they became a danger. Jim cradled his father in his arms when he turned to stone. Blinky’s last words were to absolve him of his guilt. Jim needed that.”

Mike stared. She was relating it like she might the weather. There was something off about this girl.

But she was telling the Truth. Mike didn’t know how he knew, but he did.

“What happened?”

“Jim died, in my arms like his father had in his. We spent weeks down there, surrounded by the stone corpses of our friends, and I used every sorcery I could, but Jim died. I sealed the cave so that the bodies of my friends wouldn’t be desecrated by vandals or teen explorers and I sat with my love.”

“But you’re here…I mean, so you left.”

“No.” Claire said. “I did not.”

And suddenly, Mike realized what had been bugging him. Claire had only taken breaths when she talked. Other than that, she was completely still.

“I called upon the Powers that forged the earth in deep time, and swore that I would never move beyond the circles of the world, not until my friends were avenged, not until the oathbreaker, kinslayer, Merlin had been cast into the void.”

Mike shivered. Because all of a sudden her clothes were turning translucent, her skin as well, revealing white bone underneath, and a pair of gleaming pinpoints of light stood in her eyesockets. The room was growing cold.

“And on that day,” the thing sitting before him said. “He will find that a truly huge number of people have preceded him and will have their justice.”

“What about you?” Mike asked, trying to keep his teeth from chattering.

“I?” Claire smiled, and suddenly her skin was back. “I will return to where my skeleton yet lies, holding my love, the man who would have been with me for a life, who would have fathered my children, the man who was cheated out of his life, and I will hold him again, and then pass away. Who knows, if the Powers are kind, I may see him again. But I am the only one who can speak for the unjustly slain, and I shall have justice for them, whatever the price!” She stood up and looked at Mike. “Now flee this house, Mike, for you are no longer apprentice, and count yourself lucky, for none of Merlin’s gifts come without a price. If you should see him again, tell him that Claire Maria Nunez continues to pursue him, and however long it takes, at the end of the road I shall take his immortality, his fame, and his very memory out of this world—So I swear upon the Name of the Most High!”

And with that, there was neither girl nor skeleton, but a terrible figure that Mike’s eyes reflexively avoided. To look at it, he somehow knew, would be death, or worse, and so he fled. Out the door, through the gates, onto his hover board—and before he hit the end of the street, eerie blueish flames were roaring up through the structure, hungrily clinging to every bit of wood and concrete.

Mike didn’t stop until he got home, the sound of sirens dim in the distance. He stared at the folios of “homework”  Merlin had given him, then shook his head and put them in the shredder. Tomorrow he’d go apologize to his friends that his teacher had been so oddly insistent about getting him away from.

But for tonight, he’d sleep, and pray he wouldn’t dream about a girl whose bones remained in the dark, but who still walked the earth seeking her murderer.

Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia Watch Episode 33 Hero with a Thousand Faces (Part 2)

Part 1

“Mm”

“GLORY!”

“GLORY!” Jim why can’t you shorten the incantation like that?

“Whoa. I never knew i could look so cool” Jim, no. I’ve already been through the disaster that was Adrichat. I do not want that shit coming over here.

“What crimes have i committed but from yearnings of the heart?”

“Unsanctioned use of troll magic”

“hindering a Trollhunter in his duties”

“and altogether wussiness” Being a wuss will be a Jim problem.

You dumb mother fucker.

“If he wants to get rid of me”

“what do you think he’ll do to you?” This ain’t Kingdom Hearts where clones can be their own person.

“I am the hunter now”

“Are you freaking kidding me?”

What did Claire think was happening?

“Wait, what? Is... Is this day actually a dream of mine? Cause there’s two Jims right in front of me and that only happens in my wet dreams. But only one of the Jims was human and the other was a troll”

“What?”

“I-I said. One of you, what is going on?”

“Claire i can-”

“Claire, let me say this, short and sweet”

“I’ve decided i cannot see you anymore”

“Our relationship is interfering”

“with my duty as-”

“This is the worst day of my life!”

“Okay, that’s the real Jim” Only the real Jim panics.

“Got ya, you little...”

“Please don’t hurt me” Jim the Chicken.

“He made more?”

“Of course he did”

“Why’d i’d have to be so clever?” More like stupid.

“This party is crispy” Now i’m having flashbacks of episode 10

“Holla!”

“Crispy”

“yeah!” Jim the Crispy.

“They...”

“They overcharged you on your cable bill?”

“This world is so”

“cruel” Jim the Crybaby. Also they always overcharge your cable bill.

“I don’t wanna get up” Jim the Grump. And also a mood.

“Hey, guys, i’m back. I forgot me...”

“Booyah! In your face”

“You can’t use jokers”

“It’s so unfair”

“Shut up”

“Hola, Enrique”

”Como estas?”

”Que tal?” Translation from Google Translate: “Hello Enrique. How are you? How’s it going?”

“Uh”

“I’m not dealing with this”

He made the right choice.

“I’m starting to get really sick of myself in here” “Well it’s becoming my dream true. My room, filled with Jims, if they didn’t all have a different personality. But god yes” “What?” “Que?” “Nothing”

“Pardon, bonita”

”Donde esta la zapateria?”

“You’re telling me-” Translation from Google Translate: “Pardon, pretty. Where is the shoe store?”

“Maybe i should run for City Council”

“I-!”

“But you can’t”

“Because you’re a minor” One day, the minors will have the right to run. Then, my 8 year cousin can run for president. And then my sister, who doesn’t care about politics, will still not vote.

“You wanna break up? Let’s do this”

“But let’s do it somewhere private”

“Cause there’s some things to be said that aren’t for everyone’s ears” Claire’s about to say a lot F-bombs in troll language.

“Claire Maria Nunez” Wait Claire’s middle name is Maria?

“Not even close to a fair fight”

“You’re right”

“It’s not”

“No!”

“You traitors!”

“You got sacked, yo”

“No, he’s too strong. He’ll kill us”

“I just wanna make things right”

“I don’t like your face”

“Adios, Zapatero!” Translation from Google Translate: “Goodbye, Zapatero!”

“Lake! You can’t get rid of me”

“I’m a part of you”

“There will come a time when you’ll realize”

”you can’t balance both worlds”

”and you’‘ll have to choose”

”and then...”

”then you’ll see”

”i was right”

“Well”

”that’s gonna require about”

”ten years of therapy” Please that was nothing compare to later. And you’ll need 20 years of therapy.

“Claire?” “We need to talk about Jim!”

“They’ll come around”

”They just need to meet the real you”

“But super-realz, um, you should go”

“They wanna kill me, don’t they?”

“Don’t worry”

“I never expected them to like my boyfriend”

“Boyfriend?”

“Claire!”

“Go”

“Boyfriend”

“Holla!” It only took 33 episodes, but hey faster than the love square. Now hopefully your love doesn’t result in the end of the world- Oh, wait.

Now for the comic The Felled, which takes place after this episode, happens even though i think it should’ve been it’s own episode.

Now for the episode where everyone has to take care of something and pretend it’s their baby and they all fail somehow.

Bead Peeps Swap N Hop Reveal

Today's the day we've been waiting for: the 3rd Annual Bead Peeps Swap N Hop! Members of the Bead Peeps Facebook Group were assigned partners and swapped beads. We were to send at least one artisan component. As well, the packages had to include a focal, a clasp, and/or beads. I was partnered up with the fabulous Kari Asbury. The link goes to her Instagram, but you can find more of her beautiful work on her website: KariAsbury.com. Here's the pretties that Kari sent me.

You can see these in more detail on my Bead Peeps Swap N Hop: The Exchange post. Kari sent me many, many treasures! Included in the mix were several items made by her, ceramic elements from Gaea, more ceramic pretties from Spirited Earth, a handmade pendant from Tesori Trovati, some WoolyWire, sari silk ribbon, and a bright mix of glass beads. As an added challenge, Linda (the group's administrator and our hostess), encouraged us to have duplicates of what we sent out partners and make something from that. I thought this challenge sounded interesting and always love to see what different artists do with the same materials, so I played along. Here's a look at both what I sent to Kari and kept for myself.

The artisan component in my mix was the crown pendant from Dry Gulch on etsy. I also altered some brass folder rings with patinas in an attempt to make them match the crown. As well, I threw in a brass clasp, ceramic buttons, and a mix of glass, metal, and stone beads. Before I reveal what I made, I want to admit that I didn't use near all the beautiful pieces Kari sent me. There were so many! And, as excited as I was about the wooly wire, I just couldn't decide how best to feature it. However, I did use almost all of the pieces that Kari made herself. They just called out to me. As soon as I got the pictures taken, I knew that the two dragonfly tiles were meant to be earrings. These emerged in no time.

They simply fell together! In addition to Kari's dragonfly tiles; I used two small amber-colored glass beads from the mix and small bits of the sari silk she sent. From my own stash, I added brass bead caps, jump rings, ear wires, and violet crystals. Here's another look at these beauties.

I stayed in the groove with Kari's tiles and created a simple pendant with a few more of the beads Kari sent and some antiqued copper wire of my own.

Kari's "Gypsy Soul" pendant told me what colors to use, and I went with it. The biggest hurdle in making this necklace was actually finding copper ball chain, which I was adamant it needed.

I think it would look lovely layered with another necklace or two. My favorite item in the package from Kari was the key with the rhinestones.

It was just SO ME! But, that made it even harder for me decide how best to use it. I kept trying to work it into a necklace. However, a spark of inspiration finally hit when I realized that the thin nature of the key would allow me to both bend it and punch a hole in it. With those tasks done, I was able to create this simple bracelet.

I aged a piece of thick (16 gauge maybe?) brass wire. First, I made formed a hook to work as a clasp. With another piece of wire, I turned loops on either end and bent the rest into a small arc. Antiqued brass jump rings connect everything.

I am ABSOLUTELY smitten with this bracelet. It is my precious. Once I had those projects tackled, my attention was turned to the duplicate set. Kari and I both agreed that the crown was a bit of a larger pendant than either of us was used to working with. This was totally my fault because I just didn't pay attention to the size when I ordered them, they were just so pretty!! After some thought, this necklace came together.

With some of the same Czech glass beads and brass breads that I sent Kari, I made the front portion of the chain. Antiqued brass chain makes up the back as well as the fringe. The back of pieces always interest me. It's like getting a peek into the inner workings. Since I had to fiddle with the makings of this one to get the fringe to hang just the way I wanted, I thought you should see how I did it.

From the jump ring at the top of the crown, I hung a few links of chain. At the bottom of this chain is a large jump ring onto which I threaded the various strands of chain used for the fringe. It worked perfectly. Here's a look at the entirety of the necklace.

I decided not to add a clasp to this as it easily fits over any head. And, here's a final (blurry - sorry!) look at all the pieces I made for this challenge.

Now, I hope you take the time to hop over to Kari's Instagram or Blog (I'm not sure where all she's revealing) and see what she created. I know I can't wait. As well, make sure to use the hashtag #BeadPeepsSwapNHop17 as you search Instagram for other reveals, or just hop though the list below!! Enjoy the pretties!
