@marvelmaniac715 hey so for that tribute idea I had this thought of.

What if the others have never spent this long in a human form and discover that after a certain point, especially if they aren't expressly using their abilities, they start dealing with human problems or things somewhat similar.

Like Tinky suddenly dealing with his feet in pain because he's literally been running circles around Ted and Pete for weeks, and didn't realize he had feet and not hooves because he never took off the shoes. (Takes them off for the first time and oops. Yellow bloody shoes?)

Blinky starting to get light sensitive headaches, although he's still able to use his power just fine, but having the human eyes open in the high-school lighting is starting to hurt. (brought to you by my daily headaches that I have to take Ibuprofen for due to the weird high school lights and lack of windows in most of my classes)

Pokey is basically just fine, but he's also probably more experienced anyways and knows how to better care for a human form. Same with Wiggly probably. Though him getting a random issue would be funny. He's the oldest though so I think he'd know how to avoid anything happening.

And then poor Nibbly learns that because he's never eaten this much in proportion to the size of his body before, he just discovered the system of transfer between his human form and his sleeping body in the black and white is backed up and he starts having stomach aches.

And then there's Webby who has taken human forms for much longer periods of time and has to try and help them.

Reconnecting even more with her brothers because she's helping them feel better. Something she might never have done before.

For once she knows more about what to do.

Whacha think?

Oh my gosh they were not kidding about these reviews.

I'm losing my mind will add to this.

Freaking amazing

[amulet-or-not]

Ok so I watched rise of the titans and it was... An experience...

The things I loved/liked:

Children of the sun summoning the amulet sequence. It was pretty cool. But it's funny this is one of the things in this category since it was basically ripped straight out of the scene in 1x12. But I don't mind a little self plagiarism if it's satisfying

Toby actually being smart and having a part in the defeat of bellroc

Toby's last moments with Jim. Not to say I liked Toby dying that was fucking horrible but seeing Toby and Jim be close again was something that had been desperately absent for a few seasons. And the idea that Jim even after winning would sacrifice the entire world and take on the burden of going back into the past himself, just to save Toby is kinda sweet even if this movie didn't go in that direction. Cuz it just proves this boy would give up anything for his friends and that's one of his core qualities and why we all love him

The opening sequence on the subway. That was pretty excellent and raised the hype and allowed everyone an equal chance to shine

Aarrrgghh going batshit when Toby dies cuz mood

The taco truck with the little tune entering arcadia and all the government are like 'remove the barricades, let them through!!'

Jlaire was pretty cute in this movie, not the best it's ever been but y'know.

Douxie was pretty good throughout

The things I was ok/unsure about:

Ajas characterisation. I know a lot of people hated it in this movie but it wasn't the worst. She acted like a leader trying to protect two worlds of people, and that's entirely fair tbh. I didn't like how she doubted Jim but as she didn't know him that well especially as neither of them remember the events of d'aja vu it was kinda understandable. And I agreed that they did need a contingency evacuation plan

Krel. He was consistently good in this movie as usual but didn't get enough time to shine individually, same goes for blinky and aarrrgghh

Stricklake getting married was cute, however I didn't like how Barbara was used as a mouthpiece to mediate all of Jim's relationships with the older men in his life, i.e. when her and Jim talked it was either about strickler or James SR. and honestly that's just a disservice to Barbara's own character (and makes me realize that I doubt this movie passes the bechdel test)

The things I disliked:

Eli basically doing nothing all movie and being useless

Having Eli come back after a glow up for the sole purpose of having a moment where Steve is jealous and distrusting of his girlfriend. Actually no this can go in the hate category too ❤️

Jim saying 'i always wondered about dad' to his mom. The only reason this isn't in the hate category is bc it meant we actually spent time on the relationship between Jim and Barbara which is something that was sorely lacking in wizards tbh, and something that really made trollhunters shine. But what happened to 1x17's 'you know I don't care about my father'? Like what is this bfr

Toby being used as comic relief didn't bother me in this as much as in wizards cuz at least he got that important moment at the end but him saying 'moral support is the lamest superpower' what happened to the Toby that cherished supporting his friends and knew that his support was the greatest gift he could give to Jim and Claire just as their support was his greatest gift. Cuz that seemed like a key factor in earlier seasons imo. Also what happened to the Toby that started becoming confident in his abilities in earlier seasons of trollhunters?

The blatant Hollywood stereotyping. The kids kicking the football in Brazil and the fishermen in the South China sea, and then the bright neon lights of anywhere in east Asia at nighttime visual. It's not the worst but I'm tired tbh

The things that I absolutely fucking hated:

This shouldn't matter to me so much, but why when Jim went back into the past, did he wake up at 8.00 instead of 6.00? You could claim it was because it was cuz he was disoriented, but the time of his alarm should never have changed. If I remember that it said 6.00 on the alarm, and I haven't watched the first episode since probably 2018, the screenwriters should've too. It's just lazy. Or maybe it's symbolic of the fact that Jim only used to wake up at 6.00 to make his mom breakfast and all of them lunch, something which was a key part of his characterisation and clearly showed how much he cared for and loved the people around him - something which is very obviously no longer a part of his character since he allowed Steve to bully Eli and manipulated Toby into becoming the trollhunter. But idk. You choose

Nomura's characterisation?? First of all she just seemed ooc, like a stereotype version of herself for some reason. Secondly, her death. She died. In the sun. She's a changeling. The sloppiness of the writing team in keeping their facts straight is fucking astounding.

Stricklers death. Just for shock value and a play on emotions cuz it contributed nothing to the story. Same with nomuras. All it showed me is that the writing team were sitting around a table and someone goes 'you know we should kill off a few characters early on in the movie just to show this is a serious level threat'.

Pregnancy being used as a fucking joke. I wouldn't have necessarily minded the mpreg concept happening but the execution was just. Ugh. Steve being pregnant was treated as a joke and gross and just something to fill in time as comic relief, rather than what pregnancy actually is which is fucking hard work. It just seems like another extended misogyny-as-comic-relief trope again and Steve's character and everything was thrown down the drain

Toby Jim and Claire not having a group moment together. There was a scene somewhere in the movie where Claire was comforting Jim and I was wishing Toby was there too. If they're going to play the moral support joke with him at least have him be there when morals are at the lowest

Toby being stuck to the van. The treatment of his character in general throughout the last half of the franchise, he should've been given proper development as a character since trollhunters ended but fuck that I guess

Getting human Jim back was WASTED. Utterly wasted on this poor excuse for a movie. The peak of Jim's character arc was accepting himself in every form even when his humanity was stolen from him. The 'am I a hero without the amulet' in this and even the corruption storyline in wizards were both forced, particularly the former, as we'd already gone through that part of his arc in s2 (and it was one of the best arcs this franchise has produced frankly). It was really really apparent they couldn't think of anywhere to go with his character but still wanted to use him bc he remained the most popular. Fanfiction writers can and have done better. Fuck this movie

The lack of emotional maturity and depth between a lot of the characters honestly?? I really don't know how to explain this other than anytime this movie paused to have an emotional conversation or moment between two characters it seemed hollow and worthless because none of them were going through true important character arcs

I'm sure I have more things in this category but for now this is all I can think of. Might rb later with more if I can think of more things that really annoyed me :)) time to rewatch trollhunters s1 and remember how good this franchise used to be :))

Thoughts on a Hatchetfield/Fantasy High crossover

So, I know the odds are good that I'm sending this into a very niche void, but I also know that these fandoms overlap, so... yeah. Basically, this is a world where the Bad Kids (and I guess pretty much every character in the world of Spyre, but the Bad Kids are who we're focusing on) are seemingly normal humans living in Hatchetfield, with all the weirdness and danger it entails.

Let's get into it.

Fabian: He's a rich kid living in Pinebrook, the star quarterback of the Nighthawks, and is one of the most popular kids in school due to being rich, good at sports, and surprisingly nice---and he's dating Ragh, though that's something that's a bit on the down-low due to them worrying they'll get kicked off the team and Ragh not being quite ready to come out. Honestly, Fabian really shouldn't be tied up into the spookiness, if you take him at face value... except for the fact that both of his parents are very much tied into it. Haleriel's family has been in Hatchetfield since the beginning, and while they're not tied with the Church of the Starry Children or the Hatchetmen, they do have some serious occult connections. And Bill... well, as far as everyone knows, he's an Irish fencer who got into the big leagues, retired, and took up pirate LARPing in his spare time. All of that is true, except for the fact that he is, in fact, an actual seventeenth-century pirate who got on Tinky's bad side and wound up in 2000s Hatchetfield. Fabian doesn't know about this yet, but he will.

Gorgug: The result of a secret relationship between two Abstinence Camp junior counselors, Gorgug was originally raised in secret in Witchwood Forest until he was three, when he was found and promptly put up for adoption. By then, he was already unusually large, strong, and angry for his age, but he still found a loving home with the proprietors of Thistlespring Mechanics. Gorgug thankfully never got to the monstrous level of Lil' Gerry, and he can pass for a normal kid if you ignore his height... however, he has been homeschooled for a good portion of his life due to constantly having manic outbursts that took years to learn how to keep under control. When he finally goes to Hatchetfield High, Fabian and Ragh take him under their wing---if only because they took one look at him and realized that he'd be perfect for the Nighthawks---and Gorgug definitely begins to shine due to having friends. Still, though... you can never really get rid of how Witchwood Forest changes you.

Riz: Now, he is very much aware of all the crazy, scary, and inexplicable things that go around in Hatchetfield, to the point of becoming a paranormal investigator---YouTube channel and all. His mom isn't really sure what to make of this, but she's a cop, she's busy, and it mostly keeps Riz out of trouble. As far as he knows, his dad worked for the military, and he assumes that he died in combat (in reality, though, Pok was a PIEP agent who got killed by Blinky). Riz has a part of his paranormal investigator business that's open to him taking on cases for others, but people don't tend to take him up on the offer, and he's usually investigating strange happenings by himself. That is, until...

Fig: Unlike in canon, Fig has always known that Gilear was her stepdad, not her real dad, but she still considers him her dad---mostly because that for a good deal of her life, she grew up thinking that her real dad was a deadbeat who left her. After Gilear and Sandra Lynn get divorced, however, Fig decides to finally start looking into her biological dad... and she discovers that he didn't skip town as she initially believed, but he went missing shortly before she was born. The case went cold, and all that's known is that he was attempting to stop the Honey Festival---specifically, the pageant---before he disappeared. Fig, who's recently developed an interest in the occult, realizes that there's something sinister going on there, and she hires Riz to help her find out the truth. (Vague spoilers: Gorthalax---or, well, Gordon T. Ax---is alive, but he's been trapped by Nibbly as punishment for successfully interfering and saving the Honey Queen)

Kristen: She's essentially the Grace Chastity of this universe, just without the crazy---church girl, teacher's pet, yet actually a nice person who doesn't really realize just how messed up her parents' beliefs are. Though she doesn't know the details about the Black & White, her parents are part of a group that are descended from the original Hatchetmen, and they've taught her that anybody who has The Gift is inherently evil. Of course, Kristen has always had the power to magically heal others, and she's kept this hidden from her parents her whole life---which becomes harder as her powers start getting stronger. And then she starts having a sexuality crisis and a crisis of faith, triggered when she befriends the niece of Hatchetfield High's new guidance counselor. So, yeah, Kristen's not having a good time.

Adaine: Her family recently moved to Hatchetfield from London, supposedly because her dad's job changed. In reality, her parents are devout followers of Wiggly and the other LiB, and they know that Hatchetfield is the focal point of their power (and no, Alewyn doesn't know about this, but she does know more about the spooky stuff than she's letting on). For her part, Adaine has psychic powers similar to Hannah, right down to having Webby as an imaginary friend, but she keeps this secret from her parents... mostly due to the time when she was little and told them about Webby, and the reaction was pretty negative. On top of her powers, she's also struggling with her anxiety disorder, her gifted kid complex, and the general stress of going to a new school in a new country... so, it helps when she gets adopted by Kristen and Fig at the same time, and Webby immediately takes a liking to them both. Through Fig, she meets Riz, and then she meets Fabian at one of her parents' awful functions, and he introduces her and everyone else to Gorgug... and the Bad Kids can begin.

I've got a lot more ideas about this---mostly involving Ayda, Arthur Aguefort, the O'Shaughnesseys, and some fleeting concepts about The Seven---but that's for another post, so... yeah.

WATCH THE WHOLE THING! Trust me 😏

It's here!!!!!!! I hope this was worth the wait :)

Images and information on a DTIYS below the jump!

This first bit of this might be familiar as it's been posted before. New stuff added at end!

Dark Excalibur Au

Everything happens exactly the same up to then very end of Wizards. The only difference being Jim is able to pull Excalibur then, on his own, making him Nimue's champion. Nimue grants him his crown and restores the trollhunter amulet to him. (Sorry Douxie and Krel, you'll get your time to shine later).. this is when Excalibur's aesthetic changes.

While Jim is 100% human now, he's not without after effects from being a troll. Not much physically (a bit stronger and faster), but personality wise... he's a bit more feral, confident, not really any trace of his former anxieties (except when it comes to Claire). He's not without fear (we don't need gritshaka Jim here...) but has mastery over it. Sometimes he can get a bit more... chaotic and temperamental... than before, but despite that, he's still Jim to his core. Despite all that he's been through, he's still ultimately kind, pure of heart, always tries to do the right thing, fiercely protective of those he loves.... as Blinky put it, a man of honor, courage and valor.

He's stopped fighting his destiny and stepped into it fully instead.

To quote Sakon...

Jim's problem has always been that he cares too much, and the anger inside him burns against the injustice of the world. It's Jim against the world, and the world /will move.

He still has way to much in the self sacrificial department…... but usually remembers that he has a team... literally the roundtable... a wizard, a sorceress... and a literal goddess….. backing him up.

START OF NEW:

You'll notice the blade is whole, not just repaired. Nimue, who for obvious reasons, is not a fan of merlin or arthur... originally only repaired Excalibur's blade instead of healing it. The fractures remained as a check on its power.. kind of like a short circuit. Jim gets no such hobbling. He's entrusted with Excalibur's full power. And if Sakon will allow me to borrow again, his check is in the gem in his crown, but it's only temporary as he learns to control Excalibur's power, and his newfound station and abilities... just a bit of a reminder, but one he rarely, if ever, needs.

There is no incantation on the amulet. It's not needed anymore. All Jim needs to do is think it, and it's there. Excalibur is not tied to the amulet like Daylight was. He can use it without the armor, or dematerialize it if wanted. The armor has two forms, much like Daylight and Eclipse, the 2nd is only a thought away. Normally a steely blue grey, it can shift to black, and if Jim really leans into the power of Excalibur then the whole thing, from crown to blade, turns pitch and lights up. There's so much magic running through him from the sword that his eyes glow with it.

Someone on IG asked if the Dark/Feral bits denoted corruption or Jim gone rogue. The Dark just denotes the color change for Excalibur. No corruption! It's just rockin the black instead of gold. As for feral.... in the sense that he's a tad more aggressive, more willing to finish the fight so to speak. He's got a little wildness, a little otherworldly magic, to him (not in the sense that he's a wizard, just that he's got the magic of Excalibur and being goddess touched).

Now, for the DTIYS!

Life Assurance Pt. 4

The kids should not have tried this at home.

First <;> Previous <> Next

<<<<>>>> 

Danny was almost home from Sam’s when he felt another tickle at the back of his mind. He huffed and picked up the pace. It had been a good week curfew-wise and he had to say goodnight to his parents before any more ghost king-related shenanigans. He was turning the last corner when that tickle turned into an uncomfortable itch. His dad nearly knocked him over as he reached the front door. 

“Danno! Nearly missed you! Your mom and I are heading to the city!” Jack held up a duffel bag as proof.

“Just until tomorrow night honey,” Maddie rolled out the suitcase filled with just-in-case weapons, “Our usual circuitry supplier is having a warehouse sale. We left some money on the fridge for some pizza and remember to text us if you’re going out tomorrow.”

“No problem mom,” Danny rubbed at his eye with the palm of his hand, the itching had progressed to dull pain, “Get some blinky lights for me.”

Jack rubbed his son’s hair at the familiar joke and went to pack up the car. Danny scrambled upstairs and let the rings transform him, first into Phantom and then into the Ghost King. The pain eased and he could focus on what exactly was happening. 

The crown was here to answer this time. It was a request from a contract holder. Since there was only one contract holder right now, there was only one place to go. 

He stepped out of his bedroom and into a dim room. He kept rubbing at his eyes as they tried to adjust.

“Mr. Pennyworth? Did you call me? Did you change your mind?”

The pain in his eyes left just as a pain started to build in his chest. When he went to scratch at it, he found something in his way. A blade glinted in what little light the room had, and what little left of the blade wasn’t in his chest. Danny was nearly entranced at the sight, the dulled recognition of the pain that replaced where his heart was a few seconds ago. The blade grew, the hilt retreating away as the strings of time pulled it away, bloodless and shining. His heartbeat returned just before the last of it left his chest. 

Time was returning to normal and it was still too dark to see well. The crown appeased its liege. An explosion of bright green Aroura Borealis filled the room to every corner. It revealed the sword and its wielder.

“That wasn’t nice,” Danny was NOT on his catchy comeback game today, but he was also just stabbed in the heart, so might as well go for the truth.

There was shouting, overlapping and overwhelming. Danny stood still and tried to figure out what he was looking at. More superheroes? The League? But the crown assured him that this was a contract holder’s domain. He picked one person and tried to pin down a name.

“Red Hood?” Ah, that was a gun. Guns hurt too. Guns bad. 

Well, it worked last time. Danny stepped forward and into the Red Hood.

Death, everything felt like death. It was the accident all over again. Every atom was burning, splitting, reforming. Again and again and again. Danny couldn’t breathe. Air was replaced by ectoplasm. The helmet was filled with bile. He was thrashing, trying to get out. Their limbs were sticky and their legs kept vanishing. The smell of ozone pierced through the smell of iron and he was falling into the familiar weightlessness of the Ghost Zone. 

It is in the Ghost Zone’s nature to preserve, to exist in stasis where life exists in change. The crown burst free of the helmet, cracking it in two and allowing Danny to barely see through the ichor pouring from his eyes. It was the crown that parted the way to familiar realms. The burning of his core eased at the drop in temperature. Danny embraced the snow beneath him and thought no more.

<<<<>>>> 

Batman returned home to find a sigil circle drawn of what used to be an emergency blood transfusion in the cave. He recognized the pattern from today’s project, right down to Zatanna’s modification of one of the runes. The briefing had mentioned that without the help of a Homo Magi the pattern would have to be made from blood.

Alfred stared down a line-up of everyone who should have been home from patrol and in bed by now. A distinctive motorcycle was parked in the vehicle bay but Jason was nowhere to be seen. Bruce stood beside Alfred, he hadn’t been able to think of anything to say on the way home but was spared when Alfred spoke first.

“There is a great deal that needs to be said tonight, Master Wayne. However, I do believe we should start with what your children have done in your absence.”

“It was Damian’s fault!” Tim shouted.

“Your incompetency is to blame, Drake! You didn’t banish it correctly!”

“We were just supposed to talk to it, you’re the one who stabbed at first sight!” Stephanie pointed at Damian’s favorite katana, clean and set aside next to the bloody circle. 

“You’re all fools to think bargaining would work. Killing it is the only way to break the deal.”

Bruce felt a gentle tug at his right arm, Cass was looking up at him. He waited for her to find the words. 

“The Ghost King took Jason.”

<<<<>>>> 

“I’ve committed Grand Theft Grandkid!”

“You could hardly be blamed for this Great One,” Frostbite looked way too amused about the current situation.

The situation being the man built like a tank floating in the medical stasis chamber. Samples of the ichor and bile they found Danny-as-Red Hood throwing up were contained in test tubes and Petri dishes. The other members of Frostbite’s clan were studying the samples while some were monitoring Jason’s vitals. 

The crown assured him that the infamous Red Hood was indeed the contract beneficiary known as Jason Todd. Meaning that the rest of those beneficiaries were not, in fact, a normal family of rich socialites. 

“I am so doomed. When Batman finds out I stole one of his kids, the League will hunt me down and I’ll never graduate high school.”

“Deep breath and hold it,” Frostbite continued his exam of the young monarch, seemingly pleased by what he heard through the modified stethoscope, “Your lungs are clear and it looks like your core has successfully purged the contamination from your corporeal form.”

“What happened to him?” Danny looked over to the stasis chamber. Clean, refined ectoplasm circulated through and carried away nasty-looking clumps of ichor away. 

“We’re still unsure. His vitals resemble yours in many ways, but he has no core to speak of. He was either infected with contaminated ectoplasm or came into contact with ectoplasm that he was unable to expel on his own. Without ectoplasm, his body began to shut down. We will learn more when he awakens.” 

“Thank you, Frostbite,” Danny sat for a minute on the exam table, trying to think of a plan. 

“I need to see Clockwork. If they summon me again, I’ll be stuck back on the Human side while he stays here. Then I would have to get home without them following me. Not to mention what he’ll do if he wakes up surrounded by yetis.”

“You handled it well the first time,” Frostbite gave into the urge and scooped the little king of this half of reality, Danny squawked but didn’t fight him. He let himself be carried away from the medical ward and towards a guarded vault deep within the Far Frozen. He gestured to a dais where a scroll floated, “The Infi-Map is yours to use, Great One. Go see your mentor. If he is willing, you will be back before the young man awakens.” 

“I know how much the map means to you Frostbite, thank you,” It was Danny’s turn to give in to an impulse, he hugged what he could. There was no way to get his arms anywhere near around the yeti, but he tried, “I’ll bring it right back. I promise.”

He scrambled down and let the map take him to the realm of his mentor. Time to face the music. The smug, cryptic music.
