#killahead

[peachbun03]

Draal being at the Battle of Killahead never made any sense to me and it also doesn't make sense with the details presented earlier on in the story in my opinion, it would've made more sense if in that scene in part 3 that instead of Draal, Jim sees Kanjigar fighting in Merlin's memory and he realizes how similar they look without the armor etc etc, like if Draal happened to be around during that time he wouldn't have been an adult. However because he initially called the trollhunter his birthright, how he talks about the existence of changelings as if he wasn't there when their young was stolen, he had to be born after those events occurred or atleast during.

Also don't get me started on how the existence of wizards completely like screws up the rest of the timeline as well, ESPECIALLY when it came to Morgana, like none of those events lined up AT ALL, like when during that time did she join Gunmar and promise the eternal night ?????

Like I know Wizards was cut short but I feel like even then there could've been better writing choices made.

god, this scene fucks me up

[raining-dreams]

I made all of these awhile ago (like 1.5 years go) for Daylight December but never ended up uploading them. I had every intention of coloring them but idk my dog ended up passing away around that time so I never got around to it. I always thought I’d finish em later but I forget what the prompts even were (I think the way I titled these had something to do with the prompts) and what my intention was for a lot of these. But the lineart is finished for all of them and I worked hard on them so I figured I’d share

I have one more as well but unfortunately there is a 10 photos per post limit so I’ll upload the last one separately

This week's storyboards are from Wizards involving Steve's workout montage during the Killahead two parter! We need something light this time of year.

Paul Cohen is a delight just look at this:

Gonna know his name alright.

i'm not saying she's not cute or anything but i am literally begging the people to remember that the green ordermember

1.) is a gleeful, ridiculously powerful necromancer;

2.) who straight-up killed humans, no remorse, onscreen

[wheretwofacesmeet]

[pinkytoothlesso11]

would you ever write a historical stricklake au? if so, is there a time period you’re partial to?

Yes, yes, yes!

Predictably I would love to write a fully fleshed out AU set in medieval times, not necessarily the time of Camelot but probably around that era. The basic setting would be that peace has been made possible among the magical and non-magical communities, but not so much so that inter-species relationships are common. They're actually frowned upon.

There was a treaty between Wizards, Gumm-Gumm’s, good trolls anf humans, and it is agreed that changelings should be allowed if a troll whelp is unusually sickly or a runt, and the human familiar is likely to die. They're raised by their human family until adulthood and then integrate with both troll and human society.

Walter and Barbara meet at a courtly function, Walter is an ambassador of changelings, Barbara is half common/half noble and is in some disgrace as she is a single mother and also learning magic from Morgana.

Walter and Barbara start a relationship in secret and then accidentally stumble across a plot to frame a troll for the murder of Guinevere. To turn Arthur against troll kind. And it seems to be instigated by a mutually beneficial truce between Gunmar and Merlin... Who don't like how the truce has played out for different reasons.

Cue medieval drama, plots and conspiracies, and a subplot of forbidden romance/star-crossed lovers as well as slight political intrigue. And of course plenty of magic.

Wizards should have been longer

[earth-ambassador-jim]

So thinking about the fact that Steve fought Bular at Killahead and I would like to propose:

AU where the Creepslayerz is formed in the first season of Trollhunters.

Steve and Eli encounter Bular and he recognizes Steve. Bular is now out to get Steve under the misconception that he's some sort of ancient warrior/wizard champion. When Steve keeps running away he assumes that the human is mocking him by refusing to fight. Meanwhile Steve would really like to know just what he did to tick off Mr. Dark and Dangerous so badly.

I just realized that in the Unbecoming episode...everyone dies.

Literally everyone.

This is worse than the Eternal Night episode in s3 because Gunmar took everyone by surprise. He is at full power. He has his army.

Killahead Bridge is opened. Gunmar, Bular and their armies are wreaking havoc, Arcadia in flames, everyone dead or dying and the Amulet of Daylight in pieces. How could it get any darker?

Oh right

Jim, completely non-powered, raising his sword and charging at Gunmar and his hordes in a suicidal Last Stand. Things do not look bright for him.

Gunmar won here. He would have started the Eternal Night and no one could have stopped him.

Jim saved everyone's ass in season 1.

[sofiafantasies]

"Jim!"

She ran down the paths of Trollmarket, worried for the aftermath. "Jim stop!" All she knew is that she could not lose the one person who truly cared for her. "Were not gonna make it!" Toby yelled as he ran as well. Claire furrowed her eyebrows with a frown. "We are!" She yelled back. Blinky was also running.

They all ran towards the door where the Killahead bridge was stored. "Master Jim!" Blinky pleaded. On the other side the Trollhunter, Jim ran up to the switch, clicking it as the rest of his team had already caught up to him. The doors began to close, cutting Nevada, Claire, Toby, and Blinky off.

"Dude, what are you doing?" Toby asked as he stopped infront of the closing door. "Jim, don't!" Claire pleaded. "Jim, please. I need you!" Nevada cried as she banged her fist on the stone door. Tears in her eyes. Her curly hair moved due to the force. Getting in her face but she didn't care. She has more important things to attend to.

"Jim, stop!" Claire cried, Jim disappearing behind the doors. "Jim, no! You promised we'd go together!" Nevada said angrily, her other fist pounded against the door as Jim leaned on the other side, voice breaking. "The amulet chose me." He looked down at the other amulet in his hand. "I can't lose any more of you." He pushed himself away from the door, running to the bridge.

Nevada pounded and kicked against the door as Blinky inspected it. Soon Toby and Claire joined in the pounding. "Maybe I can manually override the lock." As Blinky attempted, Jim raised the amulet, the device floating and twisting until it locked itself into the bridge. It shot out a blue stream of light, the bridge magically builds itself as blue lightning shoots from the amulet, causing Jim to shield his face.

He groans and looks up from behind his arms. "Whoa." Jim breathed out, now standing in front of a complete bridge, the portal finally open. "Come on, Jimbo! We're a team! Don't do this!" Toby cried through the door. "I'm sorry! I have to finish the fight. Alone." He began to step to the portal, Kanjigar's words clouding his mind.

"But the amulet chose me." He looked down, readying himself right as the doors began to open. Nevada, Blinky, Claire, and Toby came charging in, hoping to stop him. "Jim!" Claire yelled. "Im sorry." Jim added before he let his body fall through the portal, Claire's voice still reaching him.

"No! Jim!" Nevada ran to the portal but got stopped by Blinky. He held her in fear that she would jump and tried to get him back. "Jim." She whispered in dread. "Jim!" Toby yelled. "Master Jim, what have you done?" Blinky asked, holding a horrified Nevada.

In the Darklands, Jim stepped to a cliffside, peering down at the vast world in front of him, a vortex formed farthest away. He donned the Eclipse blade, letting it circle in his hand. Jim slid the sword against his back and clenched his teeth. "Get ready, Gunmar." From Jim's determined face, it changed to Nevada's horrified face.

She had Just watched her step-brother fall into his death. From her horrified face, it changed into the amulet which its arms were spinning rapidly.

[bluheaven-adw]

We all know Jim most heartbreaking scene was the bathtub scene and not counting Rot. What was the most heartbreaking Jlaire Scene

For you blu

This one is easy.... it's when Claire finds his soul lost in the shadow realm and endlessly crossing Killahead. Claire is wracked with guilt for not being able to save him from the shard. His mind is gone, but it doesn't matter.... they will always know each other. He's fighting the Order's hold on him for her, and I don't think we've ever seen Jim in so much pain.... but in the end, all he can manage is to push her away, push her to safety so he can't hurt her. It's heartbreaking, and difficult to watch frame by frame.

Masterlist

“I have missed you, father” Y/n smiles, taking one of Merlin’s hands.

“Whaaaaat?” Toby squealed.

Merlin squeezed his daughter's hand back, caressing her cheek with his other hand; Her soft skin pulled him back to the day they met for a moment. He held her cheek and kissed her forehead just like he did the day they said goodbye, only this time the smell of dead bodies and the screams of war weren’t so overwhelming.

“Father?” Y/n heard Jim’s confused voice.

She pulled back before the whispers could grow into a full on interrogation. That could wait until they were back in Arcadia.

“Well, where might my staff be?” Merlin looked around “Staff of Avalon About yea high? Emerald at the top. It is rather dashing” he continued after the lack of response.

“We might have lost it a little” Toby’s face contorted in fear.

“Lost it..a little?” Merlin turned to Y/n.

She looked down at her feet.

“Gunmar took it” Jim explained.

“Oh, is that all?” Merlin walked up to the trollhunter team “Well, it’s not the staff that’s lost, then. It’s just hope” he sighed, turning back to the stone where he slept the last century.

Y/n frowned, her eyes still glued to her feet, her fingers twisting each other trying to squeeze out the anxiety out of her body. She could feel her father passing glance, his cold gaze freezing her, mocking their attempt to get the staff. His voice was as sharp as it was in her nightmares. Merlin's irony was sharp as a knife. Always able to stab and twist in her gut without even trying.

“How’d you know we were gonna come looking for you? I mean, your staff?” Jim followed him.

“Because, Jim” Merlin stood tall, his face serious “I am your father”

A gasp erupted from Jim's chest. He looked back at the wizard, his mother’s face coming back to him. How? The little memories he had…

Y/n laughter filled up the room. Her right hand clutching her stomach, her left hand finding her father’s right arm grabbing it for balance, trying not to fall. The team’s confused faces weren't helping her.

“Kidding!” Merlin chuckled, he sat down on the table “I can glimpse into the future. It’s not a perfect gift, though”

“You expected me to be older”

“And taller” Merlin remind him

“Clearly, he foresaw our arrival here to rouse him from his slumber” Blinky got closer.

“Why were you sleeping in the first place?” Claire got closer.

“It was the cost of battle, my dear” Merlin explained.

“What battle?” Aaarrrgghh and Toby got closer too.

“The Battle of Killahead” Y/n stood behind the table.

“Excuse me, your wizard-ness, but Aaarrrgghh and I were present at Killahead, and neither of us recall seeing you there” Blinky lifted his hand “And I’ve read volume upon volume of history books, and none mention…”

Merlin nodded

“History is just an account of what supposedly happened,” he stood up and rubbing his hands together, a circle of green smoke appearing between them “but it’s rarely the full story, if ever”

“What’s this now?” Toby asked, transfix by the light

“I’m opening a window to the past”

“This is gonna be very cool if we don’t end up dying” Toby said as the light grew bigger and bigger.

After the light died, the darkness was replaced by a dark forest.

“Where are we?” Jim asked.

‘Camelot’ Y/n though. She took the lead along with her father as she looked around. Before these woods were a battlefield they were her backyard. Even if it was in her father’s memory it was still strange to be back.

“Still in the Geode Caverns. This is all an illusion” explained Merlin.

“I’ve been here…Great Gorka, this is the forest of Killahead” Blinky said

“As well as I remembered it, at least” Merlin said without turning around.

A white light blinded them and the war began. Weapons clashing, warriors screaming, cursing, praying. Through Merlin’s illusion they barely had to live the battle, they could see still frames of the creatures that were there and Y/n thanked him for that. She walked with her father, not interested in seeing more than she needed to see. She could hear Blinky reliving his glorious moment, Jim’s and Toby’s laughter. She felt her stomach turn, Killahead was something she had chosen to forget.

“I’m so sorry” Y/n heard Jim cry.

She turned and saw Jim crying to the memory of Draal. She didn’t know what to say to make him feel better, if such words existed.

Merlin looked down to her and saw in her eyes what he needed to know. He walked up to Jim, Y/n close behind.

“Come now” Merlin grabbed Jim’s shoulder “There is more to see. The real battle is over this way”

Y/n took a deep breath and followed Merlin through Killahead bridge.

“While you were focused on the battle, there were events unfolding that you were unaware of” Merlin explained.

“I supposed fighting for our lives would be a little distracting” said Blinky.

“What? That’s her! That’s…” Claire screamed.

“Morgana. Yes, the Pale Lady, The Mother of Monsters” completed Merlin.

“Ugh! I could add more names to that list” cursed Claire.

Y/n felt the roots of the trees wrapping around her ankles forcing her to watch the spectacle again. Merlin and Morgana, Morgana and Merlin. Both halves of her heart fighting against each other, both for noble reasons at heart. Y/n curses the day Morgana was led astray.

“Hey! Is that Y/n?” Toby shook Aaarrrgghh’s arm.

Behind a stone, guarding the battle was nineteen year old Y/n with her staff in hand, she remembers how much her hands were shaking. The dirt along her scared face and dress could tell you how long that day had been.

The troll looked back at her with a confused face.

“How old are you?” Toby turned back to her, horrified.

“I…” Y/n opened her mouth to talk but quickly closed back up. She didn’t know how to respond.

“None of the history books speak of this” Blinky whispered, scared to disturb the scene in front of him.

“Well, books don’t talk, for one thing” Merlin walked to the still frame of him and Morgana fighting and turned to the trollhunter team “This was the true battle of Killahead”

“You and Morgana?” Jim was confused.

“She is as ancient as I am, perhaps more so”

Y/n rolled her eyes. He had to be joking.

“Craving chaos, she sowed the seeds of dissension between humans and trollkind” Merlin continued, turning back to Morgana.

“I know her well. She’s a real headcase” Claire crossed her arms.

“Hence the Eternal Night. She realized if trolls could not survive in daylight, what if night were everlasting?”

“Gunmar and his forces could do whatever they wanted” Jim said.

“Morgana had to be stopped at any cost. It turns out…” Merlin turned back.

“That cost was your magic” Jim walked to Merlin.

“Aye. The only way to stop her was to expend almost all my power and confine her for as long as possible”

“I’m guessing “as possible” ends right about now” said Claire

“We’re doomed to wage battle once more thanks to the work of Gunmar” said Merlin

The illusion was over and they were back in the cave.

“Well, all fun things must end” Merlin rubbed the leftover magic off his palms.

Y/n shook her head trying to get the image of the battle of Killahead from her head.

“If we’re going to do anything about it, we still have to get out of here” Jim insisted.

The cave quivered.

The trollhunter team turned to the tunnel they came through.

“What’s this now?” Merlin complained.

“How is it raining underground?” Toby’s voice was shaking.

“The cave-in must have diverted the waterfall into the mountain” Blinky explained.

“So we’re not trapped, but we’re gonna drown?” Toby screamed.

The cavern growled.

“That sounds like a lot of water” said Claire.

“Centuries later, it never gets easier” Merlin sighed.

“Bet you appreciate me a lot more now” Y/n chuckled and looked up to Merlin from her place in the ground.

He looked down and rolled his eyes playfully.

“We could really use some of your awesome wizard magic to, you know, get us out of here” a big drop of water hit Toby’s head.

“I suppose that would be quite lovely. But weren’t you listening?” Merlin knocked Toby’s head “I just said I used most of it to trap Morgana. Kids these days”

“But you just took us to the Killahead Battle?” He insisted.

“That was a mere parlor trick. To escape, we’ll need the power of the amulet” Merlin turned to Jim

“That might be a little difficult” Jim scratched his head “I destroyed it to get the map so we could find you”

“Hand it over” The wizard extended his hand.

Jim pulled out the broken pieces from his pocket and handed them over to Merlin.

“Oh” the wizard was appalled “you really did a number on this thing”

Jim nervously chuckled

“Can you put it back together?” Claire asked

“Of course he can. Those very hands forged the amulet in the first place…”

“Four arms, six eyes, but he talks as if he had ten mouths” Merlin interrupted Blinky. He walked over to Claire “Of course I can, my dear. These very hands forged the amulet in the first place” his voice softened.

Y/n chuckled. Forging the amulet was something that took more than two hands. She saw her father walk over to the table she was leaning on and start putting the pieces back together.

The cave growled again reminding them that their time was running out.

“Would you please be quiet?” Merlin screamed.

“I don’t think the mountain is going to listen to you” Y/n stood up and turned to her father’s work, all the pieces were piled together impossible to distinguish from each other.

“It’s not us it’s the rubble” Toby explained, desperation dripping out of his mouth.

Merlin ignored the boy and kept fiddling with the amulet.

Y/n looked at his father's unkempt surroundings, everything would go smoother if she tightened things up and looked back at the trollhunter team doing everything that was possible to keep water as far away as possible from them. She sighed, starting to fix the pieces of metal from important to least important.

“I feel we haven’t much time” warned Blinky.

“I’m doing my best. It’s been centuries, do you understand?” Merlin kept working.

“Can we get an ETA on the fixing there, Merle?” Toby asked the wizard “do you mind if I call you Merle?”

“Not if you mind spending the rest of your life as a cockroach” Merlin turned back.

“Father” Y/n warned.

He ignored her and went back to the amulet.

Y/n sighed, making a mental note about explaining the team, especially Toby, on how to behave around an old man a thousand years ago.

A sudden wind entered through the cavern’s opening.

“Well, that felt like a breath of fresh air, huh? It was getting stuffy in here” Toby smiled.

“That wasn’t a breath” Claire said, worry all over her face.

“That was a floodgate!” Warned Blinky

Jim ran to the wizard

“You have to fix it”

“What’s it look like I’m doing? Twiddling my thumbs?” Merlin snapped back “It’s an amulet forged by magic. You don’t just snap it back together” he put down the amulet to observe his work so far.

“A piece is missing” Y/n observed.

“I gave you everything I had” Jim panicked

“Guys? The water is getting louder!” Toby screamed.

“Focus” Merlin grabbed Jim by the shoulder “We need a small piece, something that can fit right here” He pointed to the center of the amulet.

Y/n turned to Claire, her hair clips illuminating like a message from god.

“Claire, your hair clips!” She pointed out.

The girl quickly took one out and handed it to Merlin.

“Thank you, fair Claire” Merlin finished the amulet with a swift move “Here”

“Now, what am I supposed to do?” Jim took the amulet and looked back at the wizard.

“You’re the trollhunter, and you alone must tap the amulet’s true potential” Merlin said

The rocks gave in. Violent waves of water started to pour in threatening to take them apart. Jim stood in front of the water, his friends behind and Merlin behind him. With all his trust in Merlin’s words he lifted the amulet

“For the glory of, well, you, Daylight is mine to command! And Daylight will protect us!” With Daylight in hand, Jim parted the flood in half keeping everyone alive and dry.

“You’re doing it, Jimbo! I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’re doing it!” Toby cheered.

Jim moved his sword, breaking an opening with the pressure of the water.

“Awesome” Y/n whispered when she felt the cold air of the trees.

“The instrument of our deaths has been turned into the means of our egress!” Blinky celebrated.

“Are you a troll or a thesaurus? I’m genuinely curious” Merlin lifted a brow.

Y/n looked back at Jim, he was kneeling down, still trying to catch his breath.

“Are you okay?” She kneeled next to him.

“How did he know I could do this?” He panted “Did you know I could do this?” He said more aggressively.

Y/n looked down. She was barely able to look at the anger in his eyes.

“I know you can do more things that you can realize, Jim” she looked up “I know you must have questions and I…probably don’t remember the answer, but Jim, I swear lying wasn’t in my plans. I lost my memory and…”

“You lost your memory?” Merlin walked up to them.

“It doesn’t matter right now” Y/n stood up, bumping with her father’s chest “I…”

Merlin grabbed her chin and checked her pupils.

“Mmmh…interesting”

“No…” she jumped away from his touch “Jim…has questions” she pushed away, walking to the border where the rocks met the trees.

“Careful” Aaarrrgghh said

Y/n nodded.

She looked up and saw the moon and wondered if Douxie’s was watching the moon too. Y/n pinched her nose. She ruined it. She found a nice family and she ruined it. What was she going to say now? She wishes Douxie could be there. She wishes Archie could be there to make a joke or some sarcastic comment that Douxie would shut down to not make her feel bad but actually, Y/n would find it funny. She wishes Al could be there. Al always had something to say about everything and nothing, so there’s never a moment where you feel alone. Maybe that’s why she leaves Al with Douxie every time.

Y/n plays with her bracelet and wonders if there would be a time where she won’t lose someone she loves.

A/n: sorry for the delay 😭😭 should i tag it as full angst or some angst is ok??
