So.... I just finished watching Hilda Season 3 and I absolutely loved it all!
But... There was one thing I was disappointed about...
Okay, for a long time ever since the Bellkeeper was shown on Hilda S2:Ep 6, I and many others believed that BK (Bell Keeper) is Hilda's dad because:
He has blue hair above his ears
He likes cucumber sandwich
In concept, he is shown to be like a father-figure for Hilda
And his character seems to have a lot of potential and all
But then boom; Hilda's true dad showed up, Anders. He seemed to have abandoned/ran away when Hilda was born or maybe a toddler because he got overwhelmed.
I was surprise and disappointed to know that BK was just a random guy! Like, his character seemed so interesting and mysterious so he has to have a purpose! Right? .. right?
But, no.
I genuinely didn't like that Hilda grandparents are fairies, but it does explain her blue hair and all. But still... I felt like potential was wasted for BK and now the fandom will think he is probably gonna date Anders just because he bumped into him. (I am not the type of person to ship two characters just because they saw each other for 0.002 seconds)
And I'm really sad we never get to see Hilda again. With another season filled with possibilities of Hilda's new life and all. There is still a lot of characters that seemed to have a purpose.
I just.... I feel like the Bell Keeper shouldn't have been perfect! Like, maybe instead of a dad who ran away from being overwhelmed, we see a dad who ran away for a reason!
Anders character kind of feel like he was just used there so people can see what Hilda's dad actually is. But, like we don't know anything else about him, Johanna completely hates him (or more like still is mad at him) and yet we never hear any explanation about what happened between them! Johanna never even said anything to him about him leaving her and Hilda!
It would have been so cool if we see the Bell Keeper confronting Johanna and Hilda finding out that he is her dad! That her dad was literally with her the whole time, that she actually spend a time with him during the Bell Shut Down operation!
As much as I loved this season, BK's potential was wasted and now we are left deciding what happens next in Hilda's life.
But, I still enjoy Season 3. I give it a 20/10 on it's own, but if the Bell Keeper is Hilda's true dad then I give a 100/10.

Is the Bellkeeper part-fairy then? He also has blue streaks of hair. It makes sense that Phinium and Lydia aren't the only ones, and that there's actually a lot of fairy/human relationships that lead to half-fairy offspring.
If this is the case, then I wonder if he is slated to return to Fairy Country like Johanna was. Johanna's sickness could be a unique complication for half-fairies, maybe the two species aren't compatible after all and that's why she became sick. Maybe this was the inevitable fate for most half-fairies, which means that their parents would also trade their own lives for their children. It's a pretty freaky way to bring more people to Fairy Country and make them stay there. Maybe the Bellkeeper also experienced a similar case?
OK, that's a lot of "maybe's" and speculation, but it's an interesting thought, right?

Bell Keeper : Kaisa , not again! You're not trash, you're at least recycling!

Hilda Season 3 spoilers (sorta)
I love this show so much (it's art btw)
The old man yaoi got me
At first I was kinda sad that the Bell Keeper wasn't her dad, then I realised that he still could be.
quick sketch from after I finished the finale
if you haven't watched Hilda yet, YOU NEED TO, it's so cozy

Unable to get out of Nowhere Space in time, Hilda is flung through the portal Victoria van Gale created. On the other side, she wakes up in a place unlike anything she's ever seen, and meets a girl who, just like her, is trying to find a way home.
This is the most ambitious fic I've written in a long time; my own take on The Fairy Isle, where Hilda finds herself lost in Fairy Country, and doesn't come home alone <3
Art by the incredibly talented @foolsfrogg <33

[Bellkeeper] Ugh, my plan should've gone better than that. I'll have to admit that it was a bit thrilling, eh?
[Erika] He crushed our car... w-with his bare hands...!
According to Andy Coyle, the Bellkeeper was originally gonna appear in the Mountain King movie. One of his scenes was him training David's mom in the tower. I really wanted this to be canon like IMO they'd make a good dynamic. So in my fanfic series (Erikafolk), I made him Erika's partner in Safety Patrol. They'd be investigating an Ahlberg-based conspiracy together, ala Mulder and Scully. :D
